Maybe it's a few minutes... Or maybe it's just a few dozen seconds...
Under the great pain and fear, Lin Xi's judgment of time became somewhat vague.
But those maddening white worms are not slow.
"Zizzi..."
During the brief moment when Lin Xi was stunned, they had quickly finished their "food". They squirmed and groaned, and then began to squirm towards Lin Xi's position.
Soon, the clump of white worms transformed into something unspeakably huge—one that reminded Xavier of the wet swamp monster in the movie that kept dripping mucus.
"I'd rather face Swamp Thing."
After noticing Xavier's thoughts, Lin Xi forced a forced smile and said.
These nematodes do not have a ferocious appearance or sharp mouthparts. From a single individual perspective, they can even be described as "weak".
But since becoming an insect mother, Lin Xi has never felt like the hair on her back like now.
He radiated his mental power almost instinctively.
Having learned from the experience of the human-faced worm, Lin Xi was very careful this time. He separated his consciousness and spirit as much as possible. Under such circumstances, even if there is no way to control things like human-faced worms, you can still find ways to destroy their lives.
This should have been the simplest thing to do, considering how tiny and frail the individual white nematodes are.
However, Lin Xi regretted it the moment he released his spiritual power...
The spirit of these worms was so strong and pure that it pierced Lin Xi directly like a steel needle.
Lin Xi immediately tried to take back his mental power, but... it was too late.
Countless extremely strong consciousnesses have clung to his mental power, crawling towards the depths of his brain.
That is the strong attachment and fanaticism exuded by these nematodes towards the mother of alien species.
This feeling was pure to the extreme, and there was no malice at all (the brains of these nematodes were so pure that there was no concept of "malice"). Lin Xi was not happy at all. He covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from vomiting on the spot
If we want to use a metaphor, the attachments radiated by these nematodes are like hot and smelly asphalt. Once contaminated, it can contaminate a large spiritual area.
What's even more frightening is that Lin Xi found that he couldn't resist the emotional invasion of these nematodes - just like he couldn't control the restless family members in his body.
This feeling is so strange and evil.
The white nematode is not his descendant but has a completely abnormal attachment to it.
Lin Xi was obviously not the mother of these disgusting things, but there was no way to resist the spiritual connection and communication between them and him.
"Woo-"
Lin Xi let out a low cry of pain and hugged his head tightly.
These nematodes exude a particularly twisted aura
As early as when he entered the passage, Lin Xi had already detected similar meanings in those disgusting weird alien species.
But no alien species had ever caused him as much pain as the swarm of nematodes in front of him.
The size of these nematodes is obviously only one percent or one thousandth of those of the alien species, but their emotions are so strong and so twisted...
What's even more frightening is that there are so many of these nematodes. The moment Lin Xi accidentally establishes a spiritual connection with them, they emit their twisted will and begin to pile up in hundreds or thousands, rushing towards Lin Xi like a tsunami.
It’s mother…
She is our mother, the mother of our alien species...
In that brief moment, Lin Xi felt that his soul seemed to have assimilated with these extremely simple individuals.
His whole body seemed to be sinking into a deep quagmire and sinking continuously...
Everything that belongs to him is melted and dissolved by pure thoughts without wisdom or distracting thoughts.
With a muffled groan, Lin Xi's body suddenly softened, and she fell down uncontrollably.
"Lin Xi—"
At the last moment, the only thing that could save him from complete meltdown was the low cry and hug from Xavier.
…
If she had a choice, Lin Xi hoped from the bottom of her heart that she could faint.
If that was the case, he could at least survive this difficult time in the darkness of unconsciousness.
There was a sharp pain in his abdomen—those children could barely contain their instincts.
They were squirming, merging, and growing inside his body almost crazily.
The originally noisy and numerous small consciousnesses are constantly dying, but more powerful individuals are gradually taking shape.
Lin Xi vaguely even felt that something was eating his internal organs.
That feeling was so creepy that his love for these descendants was more like some kind of irrational delusion caused by the secretion of hormones.
Well, what was worse than what was "growing" in his body was the mental attack caused by those nematodes on him.
The collapse and darkness are completely indescribable in words.
Although a brief fainting allowed Lin Xi to successfully escape the attack of those nematodes, Lin Xi still failed to return to normal.
Lin Xi felt as if his soul had been separated from his vagina.
He had no control over his body.
At this moment, part of his senses could detect that he was closing his eyes tightly and crying uncontrollably and physiologically.
He could even hear Xavier's call to him, as well as the panicked touch and rugged and ferocious embrace from the giant insect.
"Zizzi...zizi..."
Even the thin, wet sounds made by the worms as they tangled together were so clear.
Lin Xi knew that she had to wake up immediately. Now was not a good time to pass out.
Everything is on the verge of getting out of control.
If he could not wake up immediately, the descendants in his belly, and even Xavier, would be in great danger—he would never want to see such a scene.
But at this moment, Lin Xi was trapped.
He realized he was trapped in a thick, dark dream.
A special will is gradually penetrating his spirit and conveying something to him...
Once upon a time, he suffered from nightmares on the Helios.
Lin Xi thought it was a nightmare, but now he clearly realized that it was not a nightmare, it was a reminder from another individual...
Scripps—
let me go-
Lin Xi roared in the conscious world, but of course in reality he just let out a low whimper.
Out of the darkness, Scripps' bluish-white face emerged.
He looked at Lin Xi painfully, and then some vague fragments gradually flashed in front of Lin Xi's eyes.
It's a laboratory.
Experimental equipment shining with silver light.
All sorts of horrific experiments.
The fear and despair that can almost make people break from the depths of their bodies.
And those white eggs gradually taking shape in the petri dish...
That's how these white unclean things were born.
They... are my children...
In a daze, Lin Xi heard Scripps' hoarse and muffled sobs.
Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
In the coma, he felt as if he had spent his whole life in hell, but in reality he only briefly lost consciousness for a few seconds.
"Lin Xi..."
Xavier was hugging him tightly, and the wings of this young king insect had completely turned scarlet.
Lin Xi smelled a special smell coming from Xavier's body, which came from the organs secreting acid on his body.
This acid can cause greater damage to nematodes than the sharp forelimbs. Once splashed, corrosion and ulceration will continue to spread along the tangled body of the white nematode.
But even so, those white nematodes had no intention of backing down.
Lin hoped to the closed control room door.
The originally shiny silver door had abnormal brown-red rust, and some nematodes melted into a viscous liquid in the acidic liquid of the beach - but there were still white bodies surging into the control room.
When Lin Xi turned his head and looked at the observation window, he could see nothing but a thin, squirming white, which were the constantly twisting bodies of the nematodes.
The memory that Scripps had brought to him in the dream came to mind again.
Lin Xi retched uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi felt that Xavier beside him was about to completely lose control because of his actions.
Lin Xi had to reach out and pat Xavier on the shoulder.
"These things were used by humans to deal with me... or... should be said, they were used to deal with Scripps..."
Lin Xi murmured.
"They are weapons."
"Human? Weapon..."
After hearing Lin Xi's whisper, Xavier's red eyes flickered. It turned its head to look at the roiling worms in disgust.
"… But these are bugs."
Xavier muttered.
"They are the offspring of the previous alien mother... at least, they used to be. "
Lin Xi gasped and said.
This is the information Lin Xi got from Scripps.
300 years ago, when Stripes was about to complete his complete alienation on the Providence, humans discovered that it would be difficult to mount an effective attack on the Mother of Alien Species with existing human weapons.
After all, whether in terms of force or vitality, fragile humans are far from being the opponents of insects.
However, the scientists who can board the Providence are by no means ordinary people.
They quickly "produced" the white nematodes that Lin Xi saw today in a very creative way.
Lin Xi held her breath and took a step forward.
The observation window has long been in danger under the constant squeeze of those nematodes.
Lin Xi clearly heard the creaking sound of metal parts being overwhelmed from around the window frame.
After noticing Lin Xi's approach, all the nematodes immediately became more restless.
Those vague and noisy mental fanaticism seemed to be transformed into a real thing, and Lin Xi could even feel a faint tingling on his skin.
"... Those people made Scripps and the King Insect together, and then gave birth to these little things. They took out the eggs that were not fully fertilized from his body for genetic modification... The relationship between the offspring and the insect mother The extremely close spiritual connection between them was used as a weapon by those humans... "
Lin Xi explained to Xavier as calmly as possible.
Just during the short period of time he was talking to Xavier, he broke out in a lot of cold sweat.
The only good news is probably...
After realizing that all nematodes were once the dependents of another mother worm, the descendants who were hatching and turbulent in Lin Xi's abdomen became much calmer.
