The arrangement was actually made before Arthur dejectedly left his brand new lair on the cliff, within the dark stone wall.
Lin Xi has completely transformed into another brand new creature.
It can be said that the last trace of human imprint in Lin Xi's body has completely disappeared through that insect marriage...
At this moment, Lin Xi's body was filled with an extremely ancient and chaotic power.
In the past hundreds of millions of years, this power relied on the dark and chaotic will to transform into the mother of alien species and their dependents... Only this time, Lin Xi relied on her human soul to firmly control Live this will.
It can feel the extremely powerful and vast power surging deep in its soul.
The most superficial manifestation of this power is the life that enters this dimension and this world through Lin Xi's body.
Lin Xi gasped and pressed his flat belly with both hands.
What Lin Xi touched with his palm was almost an ordinary human body. It can feel human warmth, smooth and soft skin, and it still has a human appearance, but all of this is just an illusion.
Lin Xi knew better than anyone else that tens of thousands of lives were emerging, gestating, and taking shape within its belly... and as long as it was willing, it could even produce more lives easily.
And all the lives born from its body will be its tribesmen, and its dependents will also be its descendants...
It has completely become the mother of alien species.
When Lin Xi realized this, there was no fear or avoidance at all.
In fact, it is enjoying the life inside itself.
Everything is so crazy, but also, everything is so beautiful.
Lin Xi felt the baptism of unparalleled power and indescribable bliss. That kind of huge stimulation can even cause an ordinary person's body to completely collapse from the inside out.
But now Lin Xi can possess and enjoy this happiness wholeheartedly.
There is no coercion or deception between it and Xavier, only love for each other. Probably because of this, the insect marriage between it and Xavier is probably the closest and smoothest in history.
only…
After Lin Xi and Xavier completed their insect marriage, the moment Xavier's true intentions were still unfulfilled, he tried to get more happiness from Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's body suddenly became stiff and cold.
The pain from Arthur clearly appeared in Lin Xi's mind... Since transforming into the mother of alien species, Lin Xi's perception of her family has become clearer. This was originally a good thing, but in this case, this perception became a heavy burden.
It was this kind of pain that made Lin Xi suddenly wake up from being wrapped in warm mucus and wings.
It broke free with some difficulty and left.
It has to be said that at this time, Lin Xi's mind was still a little dazed.
A few insect eggs born at the beginning of the insect marriage rolled out of Lin Xi's body and fell at its feet. Lin Xi nonchalantly placed the warm eggs on the wall of the nursery. The originally soft and sticky shell of the insect eggs immediately stuck to the stone wall after it came into contact with it. Completely different from the special alien species in the first egg sheath, these eggs will soon expand and become extremely hard after the liquid on the surface evaporates. It won't be long before those dark and prosperous lives will emerge from the inside of the clusters of insect eggs and grow up...
Generally speaking, they are not as strong and intelligent as the aliens born in the form of flesh sacs, but their high degree of organization and discipline, as well as their absolute obedience to their parents, allow them to easily transform into a terrifying alien army. And if Lin Xi completely releases his "nature", he and his family can even occupy the entire universe.
Of course, that happened a long time later. At least for Lin Xi now, he cares about other things...
"Something happened to Arthur."
Lin Xi closed her eyes and felt the pain belonging to Arthur in the spiritual connection.
Now that the insect marriage has been completed, Lin Xi certainly cannot leave Arthur like this.
It rushed towards the cave entrance almost impatiently.
"Lin Xi..."
Xavier behind it let out a cry of dissatisfaction.
Its size has grown a lot, and the thorns on its surface have become thicker and sharper.
But at this time, it couldn't easily escape from the ecstasy of insect marriage like Lin Xi did.
It still seemed a little dazed. When it realized that Lin Xi was leaving, it immediately stretched out its whiskers and wings in an attempt to pull Lin Xi back to its side.
Let's skip the series of things that happened next. In short, it took Lin Xi a while to barely let Xavier return to his previous state.
finally…
It staggered out of the insect marriage room. With Savile's help, Lin Xi cleaned himself. Then it found a spacesuit from the waste found in the ruins of the Helios and put it on itself. on the body.
At this time, Xavier had already pushed open the closed entrance of the lair, and the bright sunlight fell into the dark and humid cave.
Lin Xi was stunned, and then realized that this insect marriage lasted much longer than he thought.
The icy wind blew into the cave and sucked the thick atmosphere out of the cave.
The breeze with the strong aura of the mother of alien species blew across the earth.
Almost all the small animals on planet AS192 shrank and crawled down their bodies.
There is no so-called king in the minds of these low-level animals, but their instincts have made the choice for them.
Following closely behind Lin Xi was Xavier. Compared with Lin Xi, his mood seemed a bit bad, and his aura of anxiety and dissatisfaction was more obvious.
Although a contract has been concluded, it and Lin Xi can obviously have a longer time to carry out some unspeakable things.
Now…
"Is it dead?"
Realizing that Lin Xi was staring in a certain direction in a daze, Xavier walked towards Lin Xi step by step and asked eagerly.
Lin Xi shook his head solemnly.
"No... it's alive. But it's still painful."
Lin Xi said.
"I hate Arthur."
Xavier said immediately.
But the next second, it naturally spread its wings.
Then, it stretched out its arms towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi immediately jumped into Xavier's arms.
"Huh..."
Xavier lowered his head and sniffed Lin Xi's hair with satisfaction.
The next second, it took Lin Xi and jumped directly towards the cliff -
A huge black shadow swept across the sky.
Following Arthur's scent (this was not difficult for Xavier, but he still insisted that Arthur's smell was really bad), they came all the way to the ruins of the Helios.
"… here?"
Looking at the familiar scenery, Xavier folded his wings and landed on the ground.
Lin Xi landed lightly on the ground.
It soon discovered traces of the fight between the mechanical warrior and Arthur... After all, the smell of blood belonging to Arthur has been strong until now.
Lin Xi squatted down and put his hands on the ground.
It could smell a strong smell of engine oil and decaying metal that it would never forget.
"Mechanical warrior."
Lin Xi said coldly.
Then it raised its head and immediately saw something else not far away...
A translucent wing drooped on the sand.
It looks like a dragonfly's wings that have been magnified countless times, but now these wings are hidden in the sand.
The smell of blood is emitted from the wings.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Xavier, who had always shown a strong dislike for Arthur, couldn't help but raise his tentacles. It picked up the wing... more parts belonging to Arthur were exposed.
Xavier turned his head and looked at Lin Xi, whose face had become extremely serious.
Those mechanical warriors... cut off Arthur's wings and insect limbs.
Lin Xi didn't know how terrifying it looked at this moment.
It stepped forward and picked up Arthur's forelimbs and wings from Xavier's hand, cutting out scorched black marks like an awl, stinging Lin Xi's eyes.
Then, Lin Xi looked in a certain direction.
The mechanical warriors who took Arthur away did not cover up their traces at all...
This was a matter of course, and Lin Xi even suspected that they deliberately dropped Arthur's remains so that he could chase after him in anger.
But even if you know that this is a trap that the other party will never set...
Lin Xi had no intention of letting the other party go, nor did he intend to give up on Ya.
It looked back at Xavier. At this moment, there was almost no need for extra verbal communication between it and Xavier.
Just like before, Xavier raised his arms, hugged Lin Xi hard, and spread his wings again.
Together they crossed over the extremely beautiful large hills and flew in a certain direction...
…
Inside the Providence.
Hal walked down the bridge step by step.
Scripps had not left there for a long time since his health had deteriorated for some reason.
It went directly to a laboratory inside the spacecraft—
This was once a top-secret facility in the spacecraft, where countless shocking and cruel experiments were conducted.
But at this time, it looked particularly old and dark.
The cold laboratory is surrounded by scientific instruments and confinement equipment specially designed for studying special creatures such as alien species.
Of course, the most eye-catching ones are the robot warriors standing in the laboratory.
In fact, the robots that took Arthur away before were not traditional ghost-type mechanical warriors. They had a more terrifying name-Godkillers.
This was a special model produced on the spacecraft after it landed on the alien planet in order to control the mutation on the Providence.
Both the attack methods and the shell are specially optimized for alien attacks.
But even the Providence only carries a small part of the minerals that can be used to produce God-killer mechanical warriors.
Oh, how long ago was that? Hal stared at the mechanical warrior in front of him, slightly dazed. Then he woke up and felt a slight surprise.
Such things as drowsiness should not happen to it...
Hal rechecked his information base, and was not surprised to find that more and more erroneous programs had accumulated in his information base, almost to the point of being unable to load.
If the current situation continues, maybe in a few hundred years, it will be completely reduced to a pile of scrap metal due to program errors.
These errors are taking away its life bit by bit... Although, for artificial intelligence, the word "life" is somewhat ironic when used on it.
It's just these program errors that allowed it to break away from the cold and disordered world of robots and feel the special emotions that only humans can experience.
Hal sighed, then lowered his eyes and looked at the white creature in front of him that was firmly pierced by the metal tentacles of the mechanical warrior.
The wings and insect limbs of this extremely well-developed alien species have been cruelly cut off, making it look particularly funny.
It is said that human children on the earth occasionally do the same thing, but the low-level Zerg on the earth probably cannot feel the distinct pain and generate their own will like the alien species in front of them.
Probably because the injury was too serious, the white alien's head was lowered, its eyes were tightly closed, and even its tentacles were completely drooped.
The white body was covered with a thin layer of gray, making it look almost dead.
Hal stared at the white alien species for a long time. It moved its fingers. Under its control, several mechanical warrior tentacles slowly pulled out from its body.
Some gray blood like mucus slowly seeped out from the teacup-sized wounds on the alien body and fell on the floor of the cabin. The liquid made a distinct sizzling sound the moment it came into contact with the metal. Starting to corrode the hull.
It is naturally quite painful to pierce the metal tentacles through the insects' bodies while they are alive, and similarly, pulling the tentacles out of their bodies will definitely cause astonishing pain.
But even so, the white alien was still lying motionless on the ground, seemingly completely unconscious.
But looking at the scene in front of him, Hal let out a contemptuous laugh.
"You know? The same scene has happened many times before when humans were doing experiments on your kind here. Many innocent researchers died from this kind of thing. Sometimes you look like Already completely dead, but this is just a strategy of yours. As a mutant, you have unimaginable vitality and amazing wisdom. You will pretend to be dead, and then jump when the researchers are not prepared. Start and end their lives. Your blood can corrode metal, your insect limbs can cut off the fixtures that bind you, and sometimes you will rush outside to prey on some humans...
But no matter what, monsters are still monsters. In fact, as long as your behavior patterns are recorded, you are like low-level animals, very easy to catch. ".
As he spoke, Hal slowly turned his head and looked at the wall of the laboratory. A metal wall suddenly pushed open to both sides, revealing test tubes hidden inside. Inside hundreds of test tubes, there were countless strange shapes, and the appearance was A ferocious corpse of a different species. The remains of each mutant were cut and classified according to their parts, and then soaked in a translucent antiseptic liquid.
After 300 years, they still look lifelike, and even some painful expressions still remain on those mutilated bodies.
Lying on the ground, Arthur, who had been completely motionless, suddenly opened his eyes.
Just after Hal revealed its plan, it suddenly jumped up using its abdominal muscles. The long mouthpart ejected directly from the depth of the throat, and then stabbed Hal's head like a sharp sword.
Hal let out a cold snort, and raised his hand as if he had expected it. Several God-Killer mechanical warriors standing next to Arthur quickly raised their tentacles, and they pierced directly with lightning speed. On Arthur's back and shoulders.
Arthur raised his head and let out a piercing scream, and it used its last breath to spit out a mouthful of highly corrosive blood towards Hal.
Hal turned his head slightly, allowing a few drops of blood to splash on his face.
Large balls of burnt black foam immediately appeared on Hal's simulated skin, and a titanium-gold metal frame was exposed.
"... Like I said, your behavior pattern is very easy to guess."
Hal reached out and wiped the blood from his face. It stared directly at Arthur, and then let out a regretful whisper.
Then Hal bent down and brought his face close to Arthur.
"You are already a sub-adult, which means that you were born before the Sun God was completely in ruins, but I have never seen you next to Lin Xi. Let me guess, you have already Abandoned? But... Dr. Lin Xi's survival must have an important relationship with you. It was you who saved him, right? I once saw you following him at the No. 23 Biological Experimental Site."
As early as the first time the robot discovered Arthur, through the personal records of Arthur and the integration of a series of previous information, Hal did not spend much effort and realized that he had made a very serious mistake before. .
"If I had known this, I should have stayed there."
Hal said regretfully.
“…”
"Why did it suddenly become quiet? It's strange, why are you the only one next to the ruins of the Helios? Where is Lin Xi? It is now transforming into the mother of alien species, right? So you Abandoned…”
Despite being seriously injured, Arthur became extra energetic. After hearing Hal's whisper, he suddenly raised his head and said proudly to the android in front of him.
"Lin Xi will not abandon me, Lin Xi will come to save me..."
Halfway through the words, Arthur suddenly bit his tongue, and all the words were swallowed down his throat.
Its eyes flickered, and its tentacles swung rapidly behind its head.
Although there was no way to understand the whole story, at this moment, Arthur's intuition had told it that it had just made a mistake, and it should not have said such words to Hal in front of it.
Sure enough, after hearing the words before it, Hal showed obvious joy.
Those God Eater-type mechanical warriors grabbed Arthur, and then stuffed him into the spherical cage in a particularly rough way.
"Bad guy...bad guy!"
Arthur shouted angrily at Hal.
Hal shook his head slightly at it.
The sound of the fastener closing sounded above Arthur's head.
Some translucent liquid flowed out from the injection port of the confinement device.
Arthur could clearly feel that the places where his body came into contact with the liquid soon became extremely tingling.
Arthur coughed several times, and he tried to turn his body over in an attempt to avoid the liquid.
But its efforts soon failed. Not long after, its entire body was completely immersed in the liquid, and Arthur's vision became blurry little by little.
"Bad guy..."
It was so angry that it shouted in a muffled voice as it was soaked in liquid.
And Hal just stared calmly at the white alien in the confinement in front of him.
Arthur finally calmed down gradually. This time Arthur really lost consciousness, and his gray-white body was covered with a layer of brown in a short period of time.
This slightly corrosive liquid can continuously destroy the body wounds of alien species, preventing them from repairing the wounds and growing new limbs...
Some weak aliens couldn't even survive for a few days, but that was enough.
Hal was sure that Lin Xi would come here soon after noticing that his family was injured.
After all, that was Lin Xi...
Before this, the form of Hal's radio wave lingered in the bodies of the crew members of the Helios, and it had seen Lin Xi's appearance with his own eyes.
It has to be said that at certain moments Lin Xi's appearance reminds him of Scripps before he mutated.
They have a similar temperament that is difficult to describe in words, which may be why... they all ended up on the same path of fate.
"Today there was an alien species. It came at me and said I was a bad person."
Returning to the dark, damp, rotten-smelling bridge, Hal slowly sat down next to Captain Scripps' life-support system, and then looked at the pitiful body entangled under the heavy stacked pipes, Whispered softly.
Just like before, Scripps still closed his eyes tightly, lying there like a corpse. The only response to Hal was the noise coming from inside the life-support machine.
"... That alien species is different from the individuals we have seen before. It seems to have its own will and thinking. If the monsters that mutated on the spaceship were like this alien species, maybe you wouldn't have If I have to face such a painful choice again, I will never make such a cruel decision.”
Although no one paid attention to it, Hal continued to talk to himself.
"...It actually said that I was a bad person. Oh my God, it seemed to think that I was indeed a real person. This is almost a kind of appreciation to me... After all, those humans didn't even regard you as a real person. real people.”
Vaguely, Hal felt that Scripps' fingers seemed to move slightly.
It jumped up suddenly, and then moved closer to Scripps. However, after repeatedly checking the records of the life-support equipment and its own video images, Hal had to admit that it was just a natural tremor caused by the injection of nutrient solution.
It lay next to Scripps for a moment, then slowly sat back down.
"Bad guy."
It stared at the rotting eggs clinging to the wall and repeated the word softly.
What did the people who died under its program operation call it... They just kept insulting it and cursing it, but they didn't know that those curses were just meaningless noise to an existence like it. .
The man who endured that pain on Hal's behalf was Scripps...
This man is so beautiful, noble, pure, more human than a real human being. He willingly shouldered such a painful and tragic fate on behalf of those ignorant humans.
This is something Hal can never accept, that his captain, his Scripps, died like this...
"I will save you."
Hal said to himself.
"There won't be any problems this time. I will solve all the troubles and strangle the new individual completely. As long as you kill the other insect mothers, you will definitely survive... It will definitely be possible." …”
It's like the gods of this world really heard Hal's soliloquy...
Soon, in Hal's perception system, the red cursor marked as an important target began to flash.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hal's mouth.
It closed its eyes. At the same time, tens of thousands of mechanical warriors inside the Providence were shaking their ugly bodies at the same moment, with red light flashing under their masks.
Then, they ran quickly towards the direction of the cursors.
The author has something to say: In fact, I will revise it again in the future...
