Chapter 216 Swarm Spies

"call!"

"call!"

Kaliya took a long breath and exhaled.

White streaks of frost were left in the cold, dark storage room.

At this time, the pirate's face no longer had the complacency he had when he first stepped into the Hall of Valor. His face was so pale that there was no color at all, only the lingering fear.

He curled up.

Slowly stuff yourself into the compartment in the corner of the storage room.

The storage room was not large. It was messy, full of dust, and surrounded by debris whose function was unclear.

Outside the storage room is a long and wide corridor.

The emergency lights in the Hall of Valor are still burning even three hundred years later.

The dark red light flickers on and off.

Through the broken special glass on the storage room door, it fell on the pirate's face.

Drops of cold sweat.

Slide down the pirate's head.

Hunger, thirst, and the coldness caused by blood loss tortured him.

What has sustained him until now is not the courage to survive when he is on the verge of despair, but fear.

——The fear that penetrates into the bone marrow.

"Fear is the truest human emotion..." Kalia thought of the time when he had just become a pirate and followed his captain on a voyage in the deep sea.

What the white-bearded pirate said to himself.

At that time.

The vast deep sea was pitch black. Under the deep and dark sea surface, there seemed to be something huge, like an abyss, opening its layers of sharp teeth, aiming at the not-so-sturdy wooden ship on the sea.

However…

Even then.

Kalia has never felt the fear so thoroughly as she does now.

Bang!

Bang!

He heard footsteps in the corridor outside.

A long-lasting wailing came along with the footsteps, and then a huge shadow blocked the flickering lights in the corridor.

The moment I heard the sound.

Kalia's pupils shrank like needles, and her whole body spasmed uncontrollably.

He was frightened.

Cold sweat fell down his forehead like rain, soaking the inner lining of his clothes. The heartbeat was so violent that Kalia had to reach out and press her chest hard.

The red light flows, and the footsteps get closer and closer...

finally!

He saw it!

Walking slowly from the corridor was a deformed and twisted humanoid creature.

Karu, Yohn, Old Roe Deer... familiar faces appeared on the monster's body. Their twisted limbs and faces together formed the monster's torso.

That guy…

It was a blasphemous thing formed by hundreds of people put together.

The footsteps are getting farther and farther.

The monster that devoured his companions didn't seem to notice him.

Kaliya slowly leaned down and pressed her ears to the floor.

After making sure there is no movement around.

Kalia breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't know where the monster came from, but if he hadn't reacted quickly at the time, it was very likely that his body would have become a part of that guy now.

Stab!

Kalia tore off part of her soft shirt.

Wrap the wound on the left upper arm.

Use your other hand, clench it tightly with your teeth, and pull hard. Under the pressure provided by the simple bandage, the wound slowly stopped leaking blood.

then.

Kalia took out a T-shaped dagger from her pants.

The blade of the dagger is made of some kind of fluorescent gemstone, which is basically of no use.

but now.

The faint light emitted from the blade was just enough to provide Kaliya with some vision.

He was fussing in the storeroom.

Shortly after.

Kalia found the ventilation grille in the corner of the wall.

After kicking the grille open hard.

Kalia curled up her body slightly, and then got into it along the grille.

When I first entered the ventilation duct, it seemed a bit crowded. But as more and more pipes come together, the surrounding space becomes wider.

From the beginning, Kalia crawled on her hands and knees, and gradually, she was able to trot in the pipe with her waist hunched over.

It didn't take long.

A bright light appeared in front of Kaliya.

He was delighted.

Kalia no longer dared to think about what happened next.

Now, the frightened pirate's only wish is to escape from this strange steel spaceship.

Kalia would rather her body become lunch for the sirens.

I don't want to become a pendant on that monster.

Bang!

while walking.

One doesn't pay attention.

Kalia staggered and felt as if she tripped over something under her feet.

He lowered his head.

He barely stood firm and saw bones at his feet like dry wood.

The white bones were covered with a layer of rusty armor. One hand was still holding an old powered firearm, and the other hand was cracked in the middle and bent at a strange angle.

Kalia kicked him in such a panic.

The body suddenly tilted and fell to the ground, revealing a line of dark red fonts on the back.

The font looks like it was written in blood and is extremely messy.

Kalia squinted.

I could barely make out what was written on it.

"Don't go forward!!!"

hiss…

Kalia's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, a creepy feeling arose.

He looked up.

Only then did I realize that at some point, the light at the end of the passage had dissipated.

A smile full of pustules that looked swollen and white seemed to be made up of countless faces, staring blankly in front of him.

The distance between each other is no more than thirty centimeters.

With the help of the faint light emitted by the gem dagger, he was in the center of that face.

Kaliya saw a familiar face.

before he lost consciousness.

The pirate suddenly realized.

It turns out...that face is exactly his own.

…

"Anicorn, tell me, what units are there in the insect nest that we need to treat with caution?"

At the same time that the pirates were completely wiped out.

Adam and his group of Attas monks also entered the internal structure of the Hall of Valor.

Because Anicorn once interned in the Hall of Valor, even after three hundred years, the think tank still retains a large part of the operational power of the battleship.

Adam, McNee and others don't have to follow the pirates.

Disgracefully, he tried his best to get into the battleship through the ventilation duct like a thief.

Adam and his party took the elevator openly and entered a huge room inside the Hall of Valor.

This looks like a living area.

To the left is a huge pool and a gorgeous rockery. There are broken chandeliers on the dome. Long tables are placed in the hall. The white tiles have turned dark yellow and cracked under the corrosion of the long years.

Everything was covered with a slight layer of dust.

on the floor.

The remaining blood stains have not dried up even after hundreds of years.

Adam stopped.

Not far away, he saw a warrior wearing power armor stabbing the sharp blade into the alien's chest.

But at the same time, the more than ten sharp joints on the alien body also threw away the warrior's powered armor and cut his bones into pieces.

The soldier's flesh and blood had turned into a dark red dirt.

But the monster's corpse was relatively well preserved. The annular mouthparts full of fangs and protruding compound eyes made people feel uncomfortable.

"Too much."

Anicorn replied with some emotion:

"Insect swarms... are based on insect nests. Each insect nest has its own unique soldiers. However, the consciousnesses of all insect nests are connected to each other in ways that are difficult for us to understand, forming an insect swarm. swarm this collective.”

"If we insist on talking about it, the structure of each insect hive can be simply divided from top to bottom into hive leaders, insect hive elites, main battle troops, giant beasts, and spies."

"The hive leader is the main consciousness of the hive. They often have huge bodies and spiritual powers. They are responsible for collecting genes, hatching the next generation, and specifying strategies."

"The Hive Elites are the executors of the will of the Hive Leader."

"The main battle troops further down are numerous. There are giant beasts as big as spiny dragons, and there are also bolt bugs that can be crushed to death with one kick."

“The last of the beasts and spies.

The former is a name for some extremely large individuals, such as the Insect Tyrant, Insect Saint Titan, etc. Under normal circumstances, these units must be over a hundred meters in size before they can be called behemoths.

As for hive spies, at the beginning, we used it to refer to gene stealers who lurk in human society, carry out sabotage activities, and collect information. But later, as the insect swarm continued to evolve, the form of spies also changed. Various, it has become a general type of title. Find Shuyuan ｗww.zhaoshuyuan.com”

Anicorn explained it in detail.

and.

Because the communication between Atas monks was carried out through the psychic channel, the entire hall was silent and there was no movement at all.

The Attas monks are at least three meters tall.

The mechanical body is extremely heavy.

But with their skillful fighting skills and precise control of their bodies, they did not make any slight sound of footsteps.

Even among the several people, Kenny was wearing heavy armor and looked the bulkiest.

is also like this.

For the Athas monks who often perform special tasks.

How to hide your breath is a required course.

Therefore, in such an empty hall, a series of sudden footsteps is particularly noticeable.

"The footsteps...are those pirates?"

McNee lowered his voice.

The sound of footsteps running in the hall was light and rapid, and it didn't look like some kind of indescribable monster.

However, even so.

McNee still did not relax his vigilance.

He had held the bolter in his hand to his chest, running a finger lightly over the trigger. Once there is any abnormality in front of him, McNee will solve the hidden danger without mercy.

Anyway, these guys who believe in evil gods.

In the eyes of the Athas monks, there is no difference between them and aliens.

Treat your own people.

Brother Attas is tolerant enough to be sympathetic to each other.

but.

If they are considered enemies of mankind by the Athas monks, then what awaits them will be merciless destruction.

Bang!

Just when the atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense.

At the end of the hall, the wooden door not far away was kicked open with force.
