at the same time.
On the outskirts of the rebel base, a shriveled figure was wandering in the deserted wilderness. It seemed to have lost its target, wandering around like a wandering spirit, searching for something.
More than ten kilometers away from this figure was a small team of well-equipped assassins.
Not all Imperial Assassins can become permanently invisible. Only level 7 psychics and above can undergo constant psychic amplification and transform themselves into a state of permanent invisibility. This process is quite painful. They need to implant a variety of bionic organs into the body, and at the same time leave some inscriptions left on the surface of the skin from ancient lost empires, which are mysterious characters containing psychic power. Only in this way can the assassin remain invisible. .
However, the empire's assassins have all received special training in invisible psychic powers. The psychic powers they specialize in are invisibility, paralysis, heavy burden, escape, etc.
"Has the situation here been reported to Her Majesty the Queen?" a vaguely outlined figure said.
The assassin wearing a silver-gray combat uniform said respectfully: "It has been reported. The Queen asked us to monitor its movements."
"The Empire is gathering the Knights."
At this time, a phantom with an obvious convex outline appeared in the darkness on the side, and then a cold female voice sounded: "Do we really have to deal with this monster?"
"The Empire has failed many times."
"Be careful." The person who spoke was a vague old man. He said slowly: "This kind of thing is not something we should consider."
"Her Majesty the Queen has her own decision to make."
The imperial royal family has been getting more and more miserable in recent years. If Edward I can be killed, it will undoubtedly be able to restore part of its reputation. Moreover, even if it fails, it can also take the opportunity to weaken the power of the ministers and the church. This operation cannot be handled by Queen Isabella's private troops. It must be assisted by other factions within the empire.
This mad emperor is a scar in the hearts of all people in the empire, and many people want to end it.
It is the imperial past.
They are reminded of their past failures and the heavy price they paid all the time. Only by killing it can the empire usher in a new life.
The small group of assassins waited patiently.
But they didn't realize that more than a thousand meters away from them, something invisible to the naked eye was observing them secretly. There were traces like spider crawling left on the cliff beside them, and along with the fuzzy air, there were faint traces. A creature with many legs appeared, and there was more than one nearby.
“Disaster discovered!…”
"Notify the insect mother immediately!..." A weak telepathic communication came out and was sent directly to a beetle dozens of meters underground.
soon.
Hundreds of kilometers away from the rebel underground base, a sarcoma-like creature with a diameter of more than ten meters and many tentacles floated up. It had an obvious psychic field on its body. With the help of this psychic field, it It can be directly suspended in mid-air, but due to its size, its movements are also quite slow.
Within the swarm, its existence is similar to a signal tower, which can help the mother worm control other zerg.
certainly.
If the psionic level of the Insect Mother is high enough, there will be no need for such Zerg units. But when necessary, they can evolve a second time, directly evolving into a creature with bony extended wings, covered with a blue-purple mucus protective film, and then placed directly into the satellite orbit of the planet, orbiting as a biological satellite. The planet flies while maintaining a psychic communication network between different insect hives.
The communication range of the insect nest is directly linked to the psychic level of the insect mother. Insects that exceed the communication range too much may transform into wild insect swarms.
"A natural disaster occurs!"
"Continue to monitor them!... The brood is preparing to hatch Leviathan!... "
"We need the genetic seeds of the Scourge."
"Gather the swarm."
“Waiting for the right moment.”
A stream of extremely low-frequency psychic information was transmitted. The Zerg's psychic communication network was very strange. Human instruments could only detect slight fluctuations, and only those with powerful psychic powers to a certain extent could connect.
at this time.
Thousands of kilometers away from the carrier, thousands of meters deep underground, in a huge insect nest like a city, countless busy worker bees are busy in the corrupt organ in the center, crushing it with their sharp mouthparts The ore was then thrown into an organ nest that was constantly squirming and crushing. Farther away were groups of worms with obvious ant characteristics. They were carrying many heavy objects that were far larger than their own size. The entire worm nest seemed huge and precise. machine, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Inside the flesh-and-blood organ located in the center, the ground is a dark blue fungus carpet, and in the center is a unique mechanical instrument, on which a group of DNA gene fragments are projected.
in the dark.
You can see a slender figure, which seems to extend from the flesh and blood wall, turning into the outline of a humanoid creature. A cold and sharp arm stretches out, with three cyan fingers on it, and the sharp nails are light. Gently touch the projection, and then issue the order: "Continue to reorganize the gene tree of the insect swarm."
"Let the raptors also have the ability to devour and digest metal ores."
"Biochemical modification can be temporarily stopped."
"Human organ implantation and biological modification are not suitable for the insect swarm. The efficiency of doing so is too low."
"The swarm needs to evolve itself to perfection."
With its orders given.
In a huge flesh-and-blood cavity of the insect nest, thousands of raptors were frantically munching on the red ore nearby. Their sharp teeth crushed the ore into powder, and then swallowed it bit by bit. In the belly. The genetically modified stomach pouches began to digest the ores, but within a short time, hundreds of velociraptors began to have red eyes and showed signs of going crazy and violent. Then some of them began to die, and some began to attack other zerg species.
More and more velociraptors either went crazy or died, and finally all the zerg species in the flesh and blood cavity turned into piles of cold corpses.
"Evolution failed."
"The current recombination of the gene pool is not yet able to completely digest the metal ore and transfer it into the limb evolution sequence."
It is this huge flesh and blood cavity that emits psychic information, and it seems to possess a certain amount of intelligence.
"Recover the body."
"Collect genetic changes and detect mutant sequences."
On the wall of the flesh and blood cavity, flesh and blood pipes suddenly squirmed and opened, and then a dark green liquid that looked like stomach acid gushes out, quickly submerging the corpses of these Zerg races. In just a moment, those Zerg races The corpse was completely digested.
"Discovering three imperfect mutant genes."
"Will it be included in the gene pool?"
"Samples are being collected to recalculate the evolutionary model."
Three minutes later.
After all the previous batch of Zerg died, thousands of velociraptors soon entered the flesh-and-blood cavity. They must have just hatched, because some of the velociraptors still had a hint of light blue on their carapace. The colored mucus consciously gathered in the center of the flesh and blood organs, and then continued to devour the ore on the side under the order of the insect mother.
This time, a clear change has occurred.
On some velociraptors, their carapace has undergone some special changes. A hint of silver appears on the abdomen, while a hint of red emerges from the back, all exuding a metallic luster.
A large number of velociraptors died.
In the end, less than five survived, and the carapace on the surface of the body had a distinct metallic color.
"Surviving units appear."
“Genetic testing in progress!… Evolution is not perfect!… Start testing strength!… “
The flesh and blood channel on the side opens.
Then hundreds of other velociraptors rushed out. They rushed over crazily, attacking the survivors with their claws and teeth. The velociraptors with metal carapace on their bodies were even more fierce, and their blood-red pupils shrank slightly. , killing more than ten of the same kind in an instant.
The merciless killing continues.
In the end, these five evolved raptors were killed by their non-evolved counterparts.
"Finished test."
"The enhancement level of the biological carapace is 120%, and the enhancement level of the biological claws is 150%. They have not met the specified requirements. We are collecting biological superalloy samples and restarting the genetic mutation experiment!"
"Recovering mutated genes."
From the dark red wall, a dark green liquid gushes out again, quickly digesting the Zerg corpses inside, and then seeps into the flesh and blood floor bit by bit, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
A few minutes later.
Thousands of velociraptors were thrown into the wall of flesh again, and a new round of evolutionary experiments began again.
Cold, ruthless, cruel, and efficient.
There is not only this flesh and blood cavity in the entire insect nest, but there are also huge fortress-like cavities on the side. They are constantly excreting and swallowing a large amount of flesh, blood, nutrients and metal.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in one of the flesh and blood cavities.
Along with the wall of flying flesh and blood, a silver-gray scorpion appeared in a wriggling incubation organ. It was about five meters in diameter and nearly twelve meters in length. It had a flat body, well-developed limbs, and a barb at its tail. , and underneath the barb is a black biological cannon tube, which is emitting wisps of light blue light.
"The evolutionary sequence of bioplasma attack is completed! The power reaches the expected target!"
"It's being incorporated into the gene pool."
"Insufficient biological energy supply has been detected, and the evolutionary sequence is incomplete... It is expected that the evolved body can only launch three attacks... The genetic sequence is being transformed..."
"It is recommended to implant a higher-level Zerg psychic template."
"The evolutionary materials are beyond the budget. We are optimizing the genetic sequence, weakening the carapace defense, and strengthening the mobility..."
A large swarm of worker bees came over.
They sandwiched some black and purple flesh and blood substances and began to repair the flesh and blood cavity with their own mucus. Soon the entire flesh and blood cavity was completely closed again, and only piles of materials could be seen being sent into it.
The center of the insect nest.
The entire insect nest is running at an alarming speed, and in the center is an extremely huge capsule. It is impossible to see clearly what it is, but its outline is a bit like a fish, and it beats slowly and powerfully like a heart. , thousands of flesh and blood pipes connected to its huge body, are constantly injecting nutrients into it.
