Along with Lin Xi's whisper, the light in the resting space began to flicker as if unstable.
After a few seconds, the holographic projection function was stopped, and the pure white, narrow and monotonous rest space showed its most original appearance in front of Lin Xi.
Only the small pool in the corner of the room was still misty, emitting warm water vapor.
"... hot springs can effectively reduce the stress accumulated by pregnant women during long-term space travel, and also help pregnant women give birth... "
The moment Lin Xi looked at the pool in a daze, a rectangular projection board slowly fell down, and the dull electronic woman continued to speak in an extremely rigid manner on the screen.
However, at this time, Lin Xi could more or less hear the hidden aura that Scripps conveyed to him from the words that had been selected and put together.
Judging from the current situation, Scripps is indeed quite positive about Lin Xi giving birth to his first-generation descendant.
Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion.
"I don't understand why you care so much about my descendants..."
Lin Xi looked at the woman in red on the projection and said.
But the strong discomfort finally made Lin Xi slowly enter the hot spring according to Stripes' expectations.
"Wow..."
The sound of water ripples.
Because he was worried about Lin Xi and the strange-looking hot spring pool, Xavier entered the water with Lin Xi.
The moist and warm environment made the child in Lin Xi's belly feel a little more stable.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then she felt Xavier's burning gaze. The man was looking directly at Lin Xi. Because of the heat, Lin Xi's skin was pink, and his finally relaxed face was even more peaceful. It made Xavier involuntarily fascinated.
"Xavier?"
Lin Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and then a wave of heat quickly hit Lin Xi's cheeks.
When Xavier looked like a big insect before, Lin Xi had never had a similar feeling, whether it was being naked in front of it, or the relationship between him and Xavier that was enough to make ordinary humans completely Regardless of the combination of losing one's mind, it is extremely natural for Lin Xi.
(Of course, he also has to admit that if time goes back to before the Helios crash-landed, if he knew that one day he would be with such a terrifying insect, he would probably just choose to commit suicide.)
But since Xavier transformed into such an extremely handsome and strong man, many of its characteristics as a king insect have become somewhat "obvious".
It was so obvious that it could even evoke some uniquely human uneasiness, shyness and emotion deep in Lin Xi's heart.
"I like... I like Lin Xi..."
Xavier murmured.
Unknowingly, the distance between it and Lin Xi was getting closer and closer, so close that it seemed like it could kiss Lin Xi's lips in the next second -
"ZiZi...ZiZi%..."
At this moment, that wet and sticky sound sounded.
Lin Xi's face turned pale and her body suddenly shook.
"it hurts-"
Lin Xi said painfully, and his whole body suddenly softened. He hugged his head hard and used all his strength to suppress the sudden mental attack.
It's those... those nematodes...
They were running rampant in Lin Xi's mind, releasing that crazy, violent, yet extremely pure attachment.
Lin Xi was in so much pain that she could hardly speak.
At the same time, Xavier suddenly turned around and faced the closed door, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy scarlet.
At the same moment, the screen that had been lowered flickered, and some slightly distorted pictures appeared.
That is the real-time monitoring record outside the door of this rest area.
Lin Xi was shocked to see the strange things gathered at the door. They were human-faced worms that he had seen before.
Lin Xi still remembered that worm. After all, the head mimicry of a girl on that worm was really fresh in her memory.
But Lin Xi was very sure that the one that appeared outside the door now... was definitely not the one he knew.
Because inside the translucent body of the worm, you can vaguely see countless things swarming around and squirming... The tumbling white traces are the bodies of those nematodes.
-After this thing swallowed the human-faced worm, its bodies bonded together and formed an almost perfect mimicry.
Now, their mimics are the worms they have devoured.
They even mimicked the most distinctive features of those human-faced worms.
"Please help me, please help me..."
Sharp, eerie, goosebump-inducing vocals.
The surveillance system accurately transmitted the simulated screams of the white nematodes into the room, and Lin Xi felt like she almost vomited.
"Hiss..."
Xavier's thick back blocked Lin Xi.
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Xi heard Xavier speaking to him cautiously.
"I'm not afraid… "
Lin Xi bit her lip and responded.
He just had a bad premonition.
Those things mimicked by white nematodes have a higher IQ than their real owners.
After finding that no one responded to them, the simulated "worms" became particularly anxious, and their soft bodies kept squirming and rubbing outside the tightly closed door.
Streams of mucus followed where their bodies crawled and slowly fell along the metal door.
A few wisps of inconspicuous green smoke rose from the ground, which was their mucus corroding the metal.
After noticing this, Lin Xi involuntarily turned her head and glanced at Xavier.
Those acids...
He thought of Xavier's previous methods of dealing with those nematodes, and his chest became heavier little by little.
He had no idea that those guys could completely replicate Xavier's ability to secrete acid in such a short period of time.
And just when Lin Xi was staring at the "worms" with all his concentration, a mechanical foot suddenly stepped forward and crushed the "worms" body.
Countless nematodes suddenly dispersed, swooping out of the mimetic shell, and scattered on the ground, twisting and turning.
But Lin Xi's attention was not on the worms at this time but on... the thing that crushed them.
At the beginning, Lin Xi didn't even recognize what it was.
They have weird bodies, and their upper bodies look like clusters of festering tumors gathered together. Under the tumors, slender metal tentacles stretch out.
If it weren't for the electronic eye belonging to the mechanical warrior in the gap between the squirming flesh, Lin Xi would never have thought that the giant thing in front of him turned out to be the mechanical warrior...
Was there any mistake? Lin Xi was simply shocked.
At this moment, he was finally able to realize why Stripes had used such a drastic method to burn the worms to death, without even considering that the high temperature might cause harm to him and Xavier.
This kind of nematode, which was genetically modified from the offspring of the previous generation of worm mother, actually has the special ability to attach to and modify machinery.
Those mechanical warriors have now become special individuals that are half biological and half mechanical.
Even if you think about it with your eyes closed, you know that those "mechanical warriors" are much more difficult to deal with now than before.
"Mother... mother..."
The white nematodes entrenched inside the mechanical warrior's helmet mimicked weird human faces one after another. They opened their twisted lips and shouted continuously at the inside of the hatch.
Immediately afterwards, the mechanical warrior took action, and his tentacles flexibly reached towards the metal hatch. The small cutting machine at the top landed directly on the outer door of the lounge, and bursts of sparks suddenly burst out from the metal.
The situation was very bad, but Lin Xi had no way to resist now.
His body fell back heavily, and he fell into the warm water.
The severe pain in his abdomen made him doubt his life.
In his memory of the alien species, no insect mother has ever experienced such tremendous pain - after all, reproduction is their most basic instinct...
But now he is suffering from the unparalleled pain of childbirth just like a human woman.
A few seconds later, Lin Xi smelled a fishy and sweet smell.
The translucent mucus seeped into the warm pool water, and then a strong smell of blood emerged.
Then... the pain that almost tore one's nerves to pieces suddenly stopped.
Lin Xi felt that her body suddenly became extremely light, as if she would float in the next second.
Lin Xi lowered his head and looked at his body in shock...
For a brief moment, he was almost beyond comprehension.
What on earth is that...
Before that thing could react to it, Xavier had already pounced on it.
It grabbed Lin Xi, hugged him, and dragged him out of the warm pool.
Then it stood in front of Lin Xi and issued a series of rapid and high-pitched warning sounds at their newest child.
That child…
It looks very, very difficult to understand.
Lin Xi originally thought that he was mentally prepared - his children would be forced to hatch early due to dangers from the outside world, and that would be the worst case scenario.
He will give birth to a nest of tiny, strong, squirming little bugs from his body.
But the child he saw now was even more maddening than the insects densely clustered together.
Lin Xi didn't even know how to describe that thing. It was a large mass of fresh flesh and blood that suddenly kept squirming and expanding.
It looks more like some kind of slime mold...or maybe it's more like a symbiosis that evolved from countless tiny worms entangled together.
Under Lin Xi's gaze, the surface of the brand new descendant's body began to boil rapidly. Lin Xi clearly saw that countless tiny eyes suddenly turned over on the surface of the scarlet flesh, and insect mouthparts emerged. One card and one close.
But this thing is a whole, not countless individuals.
Lin Xi knew this because after its birth, the strong will was directly reflected in his soul.
Mother
The other party kept calling in his consciousness and released his attachment to Lin Xi.
Then, it slowly came towards Lin Xi...
Lin Xi took a step back involuntarily, and then he subconsciously looked at the surveillance video of the door provided to him by Scripps.
The worms and nematodes there are trying their best to open the lounge door.
It had to be said that at this moment, Lin Xi vaguely felt that there seemed to be some similarity between his newborn child and the terrifying nematodes outside the door.
