Chapter 217 You Are All Bugs
The tall and thin man, whose face was darkened by the sun and wind, came from the other end of the wooden door in a panic.
He wore a black vest with a white lining on the upper body.
The inner lining was soaked with sweat, and there was dark red blood on the left arm. The expression on his face was quite frightened.
"Are they pirates?" Kenny asked.
On the mechanical arm, the roaring sound of machine guns and engines could be heard.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
McNee didn't notice any obvious abnormalities, but as a battle-experienced warrior, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
During the brief conversation between the two.
Adam has entered a state of spiritual boiling, and the colors of all the items around him have begun to fade.
It turns into a three-dimensional pattern of intertwined gray and white lines.
The pirate wearing a black vest in front of him, in addition to various organs representing human beings, also had many more winding and insect-like attachments in Adam's sight.
"That's a spy from the Swarm."
Ainicorn's voice was transmitted into everyone's minds from the psychic channel at the right time.
"Some humans, after being infected by the insect nest parasitism, did not even realize that they had turned into bugs. They blended into human society and continued to live, while the puppet bugs spread and replicated silently among the crowd until they transformed. When the plague breaks out completely, a city with a population of tens of millions is easily infiltrated by the insect swarm, turns against it, and becomes the nutrient for the insect swarm to hatch."
"What a terrible method..." Adam couldn't help but sigh.
This group of people.
Even a seasoned warrior like McNee didn't notice the abnormality immediately, but instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Only Think Tank, Adam.
Only by relying on their own special methods can they detect the subtle traces left by the insect nest.
It is conceivable that when humans first faced the insect swarm.
How desperate it would be to find that everyone around you, even yourself, had become part of the insect swarm without realizing it.
"Poor child, let me bring you relief."
Adam pulled the trigger.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the empty hall.
They originally planned to sneak into the central control room, start the spacecraft, and then find a way to clear out the remaining insect swarms inside the spacecraft.
Now it seems.
The group of pirates who accidentally broke into the spacecraft had awakened the sleeping hive leader.
In fact, the other party discovered the whereabouts of these people one step ahead.
In today's situation, we can only force our way through.
Crush all incoming enemies.
When the gunfire rang out, Kalia's face showed fear and confusion, and then quickly turned ferocious. This guy was vulnerable in the hands of the insect nest, looking extremely fragile.
But in fact, Kalia is also a standard extraordinary pirate.
The transformed body is stronger than before.
He ducked sideways.
The bolt gun exploded on the monster's shoulder. Half of Kaliya's body instantly shattered into blood mist, and half of his head was lost.
Only a small amount of skull and drooping skin were left connected with the cervical vertebrae, and blood was dripping down.
It looks extremely scary.
but…
After being parasitized by the insect nest.
Kaliya was stronger than the zombies, and the injury that only caused a head explosion could even be called a minor injury among the insect swarm units.
Fire exploded.
After rolling in the air for several weeks, dodging subsequent attacks.
Kalia jumped high, incredibly fast, and the other arm turned into a sharp limb like a mantis, flashing with cold light, and cut towards the think tank, the most slender and weak among the four.
laugh!
Extraordinary strong man combined with insect swarm transformation.
It was as violent as a tyrant coming, but the one standing in front of him was Brother Attas.
McNee twisted his waist sideways.
The power sword was pulled out from the scabbard on the waist, spiritual energy was injected, and the engine roared.
Sword light and black light intertwined.
Kaliya's half-human, half-insect body stopped less than thirty centimeters away from Anikoun and fell heavily to the ground.
His body had been cut into a human stick by Captain McNee's superb swordsmanship.
But even so.
Driven by the will of the hive, Kallia's face was still ferocious, and her eyes were scarlet as she squirmed towards Ainicorn. Earthworm-like tendons emerged from the pirate's skin, beating constantly.
Boom!
Anicorn stretched out his finger and tapped it gently.
Hot red light shot out from the suspended particle cannon behind the think tank, turning the pirate's body into a pool of molten material with an unclear shape.
"move on!"
A transcendent person of the second level of life.
Even in the case of an active sneak attack, they couldn't last three seconds among Atas's four-person team.
After the end of the golden age.
Although the number of Attas monks preserved in the sensory world is not large, they are all elite and have lofty and lofty goals.
"move on!"
Adam gave the order and glanced in the direction of Anikoon.
While killing the pirates, he vaguely heard a shrill roar coming from deep inside the battleship. Judging from Ainicorn's reaction, it was probably not his own imagination.
"Maybe it's a fusion beast!"
Anicorn followed the team, blue information streams flashing in front of his eyes.
“That is a very special insect swarm unit that appeared at the end of the Golden Age.
Fusion beasts are forged from human flesh and blood and the chaotic will of the hive. They can be dispersed into thousands or even tens of thousands of special sub-bodies, or when necessary, these sub-bodies can be fused into one and turned into a tall hundred-armed giant. "
"Although fusion beasts were not the most powerful giant units in that era, they were definitely the most disgusting and terrifying."
"fear?"
Adam calmly replied, "I haven't experienced that feeling for a long time."
but.
After hearing Anikoun's explanation.
Adam still added, "Stay vigilant in the battle ahead."
"Your mission has not been completed yet. I don't want any of my companions to fall here."
McNee and others did not reply.
He just silently tightened his grip on the handle of his gun.
Next.
Under the command of Anicorn.
Adam and others walked through the living area and entered the abandoned training camp of the soldiers.
Here, there are still many freezing chambers staying in the blue hall, but the sleeping warriors in the freezing chambers have been brutally taken out by the insects, killed, devoured and torn into pieces.
There were dripping blood stains everywhere on the walls, and the ground was in a mess.
Adam and others did not stop.
The soldiers in the cryogenic chamber have been dead for hundreds of years, but the insects are awakening one after another under the will of the insect nest.
These black-armored ferocious monsters emerged from the ventilation ducts on the ceiling, the floor under their feet, the surrounding walls, and every direction that the Athas monks could imagine.
Swarming in like a black wave.
fine.
A long slumber.
It also has a big impact on the insect swarm.
Although they are still alive, their bodies inevitably undergo aging, wear and tear and other losses.
The speed is no longer as agile as when they were first born, so fast that the naked eye cannot even keep up with their moving speed.
Once the bolters fired, they never stopped.
The continuous steel storm will push back the swarms of insects coming from all around, and then tear a huge gap in the wall enough for Adam to walk through with his head held high.
Weapons such as bolters and floating particle cannons have outstanding effects.
But bullets and energy are not endless. After Anicorn discovered that the central command room cracked the control system of the Hall of Valor.
What awaits Adam and the others is a rather difficult defensive battle.
They must save bullets and reduce consumption.
The swarm's pursuit and the rapid loss of weapons forced Anicorn to replan its course of action.
After a brief discussion in the psychic channel, Anicorn decided to destroy some of the facilities in the Hall of Valor and carve a passage from the hull.
This will allow you to reach the central main control room faster.
at the same time.
It can also avoid falling into the dilemma of being surrounded by swarms of insects.
The Hall of Valor is a huge building with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, like a city suspended in the air.
Even in the golden age.
No one country or force can design and manufacture it alone.
It is made up of different modules that are spliced together.
Living areas, command rooms, training grounds, observation halls, oracles... these different modules are developed and constructed by different countries or companies.
Then put together under the witness of all mankind.
This means.
As long as the more important facilities such as the fusion power source, command room, and auspicious device can still maintain their functional integrity, then there will be no problem.
As for places like living areas.
For Brother Atas, who can count them with one hand, it is really not of use for the time being.
The Hall of Valor was supported by extremely large circuit pipes, so much so that after breaking through the wall and entering it, Adam and others thought they had entered some primitive jungle.
Giant pillar-like pipes reach into the sky and the earth.
The curved energy transmission facilities are still emitting faint blue fluorescence, looking like a forest with fireflies flying in summer.
The scenery in front of me is nice.
But the Athas monks were not in the mood to appreciate it, as the insect swarms were already pouring in from the deep holes.
As the number increases, the types also become more abundant.
laugh!
Adam brandished the blade.
He cut an elite insect hive warrior in front of him with four arms and back in half. The surging psychic energy turned into a black python and flashed across. The sudden increase of high temperature inside the psychic energy instantly destroyed the activity of the insect cells.
"Keep moving forward!"
Adam wielded his power sword and fired at a swarm spy who was trying to sneak behind Anikoon.
The folding aerodynamic backpack behind him came into play, carrying the heavy mechanical bodies of the Athas monks through the dense forest composed of pipelines.
up!
up!
Gradually, the pipeline in front of me became sparse.
A bright light appeared in front of Adam and others, and that was the central finger room that Anikoon pointed to.
Boom!
Brother Kenny violently shattered the dome with a deep purple hot-melta plasma cannon.
A deep purple thunderstorm appeared above the head, and countless broken glass hit Brother Atas' body with huge kinetic energy, dense like raindrops.
The tempered glass falling from high altitude cut the insect swarm following it into pieces.
But it only left a few scratches on the steel bodies of the Atas monks.
The engine of the aerodynamic backpack roared, and the hurricane carried the steel bodies of the soldiers upwards through the rolling thunderstorm.
Adam took the first step and entered the central command room along the melted crack.
Then there is the Machine Priest Kenny and the think tank Anicorn.
McNee is responsible for breaking the ball.
Bright light poured down, and the central command room was unexpectedly neat.
The floor of the command room is a translucent virtual screen.
During the operation of the Hall of Valor, these screens can mimic the surrounding environment. In this way, being in this hall is like standing directly in the vast and deep universe. It is so beautiful that it can give people a shock that goes straight into the soul.
The area of the command room is not too large, about more than a thousand square meters.
Except for the holographic electronic screen at your feet, there are no extra decorations in the command room.
Countless huge machines are in the shape of an arc, expanding outward layer by layer like a maze. In the center of the command room is a high platform that can only accommodate one person.
After the Hall of Valor entered a state of firefight.
The commander of the Hall of Valor...is usually held by a think tank, who stands on a high platform in the center and issues orders.
These orders will be communicated directly to every crew member.
The huge machines on the periphery are only responsible for summarizing, calculating, and transmitting the information of the entire battleship.
besides.
In most cases.
A huge battleship with a diameter of more than ten kilometers only needs a think tank to operate smoothly and efficiently.
have to say.
Although the Think Tank is a by-product of the Atas Project, its preciousness is far higher than that of ordinary Atas monks.
If such a huge battleship were to be commanded by humans, it would definitely be extremely cumbersome, and it would be difficult to even exert ten percent of its own power. Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com
Only think tanks whose computing power far exceeds that of humans and who can directly transmit information through spiritual energy can unleash the power of the Hall of Valor.
Anicorn stepped into the command room and looked around.
No abnormality was found in it, and then she flew towards the central high platform with some anxiety.
As a result, in mid-air.
Adam held Ainicorn's arm, pulled him back hard, and blocked him behind him.
laugh!
A black liquid was like a sharp arrow. It passed through the air and turned one of the large pieces of equipment into molten iron that smelled rancid.
Anikoen's complexion changed slightly.
Just now, if Adam hadn't given him a hand.
If he is hit, this body of his will probably have to be completely accounted for here.
When the time comes, all the good fortune and suffering will probably turn into nothing.
They only have one chance.
If this operation fails, even if they can survive the siege of the insect swarm, the Hall of Valor will definitely be destroyed by the awakened insect swarm.
For Brother Attas, such a loss is absolutely unacceptable.
Anicorn didn't even have time to say thanks.
Then I saw that the high platform suddenly rose slowly, and a gap opened in the middle.
A dark red fleshy branch grew from it. Once the branch appeared, it grew rapidly, spread, and turned into a huge sphere.
Within the sphere, at intervals, a human-shaped face appeared on the branches.
Human faces are scattered on the bloody branches, some of them are fearful, some are confused, some are wailing, and there are also despair, pain, anger, regret...
Countless emotions turned into a torrent and rushed towards me.
But eventually.
All the faces were lowered, with mockery and disdain, and they said in unison: "You are all bugs!"
