"I can kill them."
If they are a threat—
Xavier wasn't that concerned about the origin of the nematodes.
It doesn't care about that.
As a new generation of king insects, it is completely its instinct to hate the descendants left by other king insects.
"They are weak...I can clean them up quickly..."
At this moment, it just stared at the pale and sticky bodies of those tiny nematodes in disgust, and then said to Lin Xi solemnly.
All white nematodes are biological weapons left to alien species by humans from the Providence. Considering this, it is logical to eliminate them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xavier had already spread his wings.
It revealed its terrifying appearance in front of Lin Xi without concealing it. Its mouthparts poked out, and a few drops of secreted acid slowly dripped onto the ground along its ferocious teeth.
A ball of foam with a metallic smell suddenly appeared on the metal ground.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xavier had evolved secretions to cope with the current situation in such a short period of time.
Well, maybe... As a king insect, Xavier does have a unique talent when it comes to dealing with the descendants born from the previous mother of alien species and her king insect.
But at the moment Xavier was about to rush out, Lin Xi grabbed the arm of his king insect hard.
"etc… "
he whispered to Xavier.
"I don't think something is right. These things are very dangerous..."
Lin Xi stared at the worms solemnly.
In addition to the lack of greed and fanaticism, these nematodes' tiny bodies seem to contain another terrible danger. It's just that the message Stripes left for Lin Xi was too vague. Now he can only vaguely feel that something is wrong but has no way to find it clearly.
… But no matter what, if it was just a simple and soft nematode, how could human scientists choose such a creature as a biological weapon against alien species
Lin Xi thought.
Then he turned his head and spoke coldly toward the window.
"These things are your heirs. They belong to you. You should have solved this problem 300 years ago instead of leaving it to me to deal with..."
Lin Xi said coldly to those unconscious worms in a rare and cold tone.
Separated by a thick layer of glass, those white worms are still hovering and squirming...
"They are your responsibility. Captain Scripps—"
Before Lin Xi finished speaking, he frowned involuntarily.
Just by lowering her head, Lin Xi could clearly see her bulging belly.
The strong vitality brought by the new descendants continued to surge in Lin Xi's belly.
Lin Xi felt something was wrong with these descendants who were supposed to be conceived in peace. They seemed to be weirder than before... But at this time, Lin Xi had no time to think about this matter at all.
While Lin Xi was talking, the nematodes were still squirming...
Some of them have even broken through the acid traps that Xavier made at the door….
Their bodies melted too quickly under the corrosion of the acid, and the mucus formed could even easily dilute the concentration of the acid secreted by Xavier.
"I know you're here."
Lin Xi looked away from the nematodes. He held Xavier's hand tightly and spoke slowly, word by word.
"I know you can do it."
This time, Scripps seemed finally convinced.
The former captain did respond to Lin Xi's request, but in an inhuman way—
Lin Xi heard a rubbing sound when something came out of the special structure of the ceiling and walls.
If those white worms had not blocked Lin Xi's sight, Lin Xi would have seen a large number of black metal muzzles suddenly appear on the originally smooth and smooth wall of the freezing warehouse.
As for the evaluation of the blocking device at the door of the freezer, some green data that should not have appeared was rolling rapidly.
Disinfection status... Mode 1...
Total destruction…
start up…
—
Just as those instructions were conveyed, hot flames spurted out from the dark muzzle.
Lin Xi's body shook, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Those nematodes have very little resistance to high temperatures. The pain caused by being burned by the flames pierced Lin Xi's soul straight from the instantly burned nematode through spiritual connection.
Scripps's method of dealing with these white nematodes was so simple and brutal that it had no beauty whatsoever.
As a long-range spacecraft like Providence, a device that can spray high temperatures in any enclosed space is a must.
But Lin Xi never thought that Scripps would create such a big battle before making the request.
The flame spray gun burned most of the nematodes in just a short moment. Although the command room where Lin Xi and Xavier were located had a heat insulation device, the unburned air was still extremely hot.
The rolling heat wave rushed towards her face like a wild beast, and Lin Xi even felt that the skin on her body became dry and stinging.
The white nematodes that were originally stuck to the glass plate began to curl and fall. Between the gaps and the richness, thin rays of light appeared, and the light was so bright that it made people's eyes sting.
Everything was so hot, everything was so cruel, and it didn't take long for all the white nematodes that had been attached to the observation window to fall down.
The bright firelight shines through the glass windows and reflects into the closed control room.
What followed was a terrible, unique stench of burnt protein.
The stench came from the body of the nematode that had been burned into a small ball - Lin Xi shuddered and suspected that the danger that the nematode had not fully revealed might be hidden inside its body.
And at this moment...
"Click—"
The temperature outside reached an extremely high level in a short period of time, and the already shaky observation window finally shattered under the load.
Tiny white cracks covered the entire glass in an instant, obscuring the outside world.
But this was enough for Lin Xi. At that moment, Lin Xi could clearly see that all the white nematodes that besieged them had died under the high-temperature sterilization spray gun.
The only ones left alive were some nematodes that had flowed into the control room through the cracks.
Their soft and fragile bodies have turned gray and shriveled under the high temperature, with only a trace of weak vitality remaining inside.
But even so, after noticing Lin Xi, they still rushed towards Lin Xi's direction with extreme love and enthusiasm.
Lin Xi subconsciously raised his hand towards these fish that slipped through the net. He could easily kill these small, disgusting monsters.
But at this moment, his mind suddenly became a little chaotic, and the pure attachment without any impurities in the bodies of those weak nematodes penetrated into his mind.
These miserable creatures were separated from their mother's body before they were fully conceived. They never received a trace of love and care from their mother's body.
This is exactly why this creature becomes so greedy and twisted without any sanity.
Lin Xi suspected that he was crazy. At this moment, he could not help but be stunned for a moment...
"boom-"
Until the sound of breaking glass woke him up.
The cracked glass window was finally completely shattered by the high temperature, making a crisp sound as it scattered... The flames wrapped in countless crystal clear fragments and sprayed into the interior of the command room.
Lin Xi only had time to see the bright light in front of her.
Xavier suddenly grabbed Lin Xi and pushed him back hard...
The golden-red flame swept away the remaining nematodes right in front of Lin Xi's eyes. .
"Lin Xi, are you okay..."
Once the observation window that can isolate the outside world breaks, extremely high temperatures immediately pour into the room.
If Lin Xi and Xavier were not monsters different from ordinary people now, they would have been roasted by this time.
But even taking into account their special physiques, the control room at this moment has become extremely dangerous.
The flames continued.
Unlike conventional high-temperature disinfection, the flames did not completely disappear after all the nematodes were exterminated. Instead, they clung to the surface of every piece of furniture and burned, as if they could completely incinerate the entire Providence.
Of course, the worst was far from these... With extraordinarily keen senses, Lin Xi could hear some ominous sounds coming from far away.
It was the sound of the exhaust system being reversed and the sound of a large number of metal doors slamming to the ground and being blocked.
"Damn, it's an automatic fire extinguishing program. They are going to vacuum this place..."
Lin Xi said immediately.
And the negative pressure is likely to tear both him and Xavier into pieces.
"We need to get out of here..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes went dark. That was because Xavier rolled it up directly.
"Xavier?! Wait a minute, you-"
What do you want to do
Lin Xi couldn't ask the second half of the sentence at all, because Xavier's wings were wrapped too tightly.
The young, strong, huge, and ferocious King Insect held its mother in its arms tightly, and then rushed out.
The excessive speed even made Lin Xi feel weightless in its arms...
God knows how Xavier did it (considering the special circumstances at the time, Lin Xi was very sure that Scripps must have helped them). When Lin Xi was finally let go by Xavier, they were already far away The original control room.
The author has something to say: This chapter needs to be revised again...
