Chapter 280 Hydralisk Nest

"Roy, I can help you with sponsorship fees."

"No." There was stubbornness and hope in the boy's eyes: "Brother Tang, why should I keep this right arm? I don't want to be ordinary. I want to help you, and also help myself."

Tang Fang quietly looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly smiled. Perhaps, I shouldn't be so harsh. On the other hand, if Roy returns home safely, there is no guarantee that the government will not trouble him.

"Okay, I promise you."

There was a smile on the boy's face: "Thank you..."

"En." Tang Fang nodded: "The queen said that your right arm still has more abilities to be developed. You should familiarize yourself with it first. I'll go over there to see Martin's situation."

"Okay." Roy nodded, straightened his right arm, and closed his eyes tightly. As he concentrated his energy a little bit, the blackened and hardened arm gradually softened, and some flexible muscle tissue twisted into one strand, going up and down like an octopus' tentacles. Fly.

Of course, this is much scarier than the tentacles of an octopus.

"Sure enough." Seeing this scene, Tang Fang couldn't help but nodded. The Queen's guess was correct. Roy was a blessing in disguise this time. Although the alien gene tortured him for a long time, it was finally a blessing in disguise.

Sending a "follow me" command to the queen, he turned around and walked to the bed in the innermost part of the room. Martin struggled endlessly, his wrists and ankles were covered with bloodstains.

On Martin's face, there was no pain, no sadness, nor anger, only rage and bloodthirsty. He was like a ferocious beast exuding a very strong hostility.

"Check his body." Tang Fang stepped aside and ordered casually.

The queen moved her six slender legs to the front of the hospital bed, sent her appendages down, and plunged into Martin's arm.

It only takes half a minute. The queen withdrew her appendages, delivering very bad news. There are no foreign genes in Martin's body. The internal organs, as well as the hands, feet and limbs, are all normal. The only problem is the brain. If it is Tang Lin's neuron atrophy, it will be fine. Unfortunately not.

Martin's brain is dead. To be precise, the brain tissue that controls emotions, memory storage, learning ability and other important functions are all necrotic, and only part of the circuit structure is still functioning. These brain tissues can only perform some simple calculations to maintain biological certain instincts.

In the end, the Queen of Worms used one word to vividly summarize Martin's state at this moment --- "Zombie!"

"Is he... still saved?" Finally,

Tang Fang asked with a sad face.

"I'm sorry master, brain cells cannot regenerate. Breastfeeding can't do anything about his condition."

Tang Fang didn't believe in evil, and sank his thoughts into the system space again: "Emma, ​​do you have any treatment plan?"

"Commander, the human brain is different from other tissues and organs. It is the most complex and sensitive. If Martin's brain damage is not high, if conditions permit, it may be possible to use artificial nerve cells to complete it. Brain function can be barely restored. However , According to the results of the queen's transmission, almost 90% of the cells in Martin's brain are necrotic, and the possibility of recovery is infinitely close to zero."

"Why is this happening!" A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart, even if he had the strength to rival the government, he would still be helpless in the face of the situation in front of him. life. It was too fragile. He could save Roy, but he couldn't save Martin. There are always regrets in life, sometimes suddenly. Caught off guard. At other times, it is always there, always in your field of vision, looking at you in a daze, helpless, all your life. It has another name, called life.

Tang Fang turned his attention back to reality, and his gaze stayed on Martin's face for a long while. Finally, he exhaled a long breath, and said a little bit unbearably, "Queen, send him away, and try to make him suffer as little pain as possible."

"Yes, master." The queen stretched out her appendages towards Martin on the hospital bed. Tang Fang walked out with a sad face, and took advantage of the situation to draw the gauze curtain.

"How is Martin?" Roy asked when he heard Tang Fang walk out. When he turned his head and saw his expression, his heart sank.

"Go see him for the last time." Tang Fang sighed and walked towards the door.

When passing by Roy's side, he suddenly heard a "cheeping" sound, and when he looked up, he saw Roy looking at him with embarrassment.

Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at the energy liquid hanging next to the medical cabin. He was a little puzzled. Roy just came out of the medical cabin, so he's hungry so soon?

"Master, it takes a lot of energy to secrete mitotic enzymes to catalyze cell regeneration. For phantom energy units, it will consume a certain amount of phantom energy. For ordinary humans, the most common form of manifestation is hunger, which requires eating a lot of high-energy substances."

"Oh." Tang Fang nodded, thinking to himself, no wonder. Roy's right arm has such abilities, so the energy consumption must be astonishing. After a while, it changes from crystallization, to soft body, to sharp weapon, and it changes several shapes continuously. It's no wonder you're not hungry.

"Are you hungry? Wait a moment." Tang Fang opened the communication channel, ordered Aros to come in, and briefly talked about Roy's situation.

Even if he is as well-informed as a veteran, he couldn't help but stay for a while, looking up and down at Roy several times like a monster, until the young man's face turned green, and then he took out a box from the shoulder storage device Chocolate and compressed biscuits, and a small bag of high-energy vitamin drink were thrown to him.

"Bah... Tang Fang, come here." At this moment, Grant's voice came from the communicator.

Tang Fang frowned slightly, and his vision switched to a person. The two corridors on the left and right of the hall of the research institute meet at a place not far ahead, and the combat units advancing in two ways also join forces. There was originally a heavy gate in front, but it has been broken by fanatics at this time, and behind it is a long gate. Connecting the corridor, when he glanced to both sides with his vision, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Aros, you stay with Roy, I'll go ahead and see, there's something wrong with Grant."

The veteran asked, "Are you in danger?" Tang Fang shook his head: "Not yet, but the situation is a bit weird."

"Oh." Aros nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of the little guy here."

Upon hearing this, Roy quit and waved his right arm: "I can fight, no one needs to take care of me."

Tang Fang glared at him vigorously: "Whenever you get familiar with the right arm, you can use it anytime, anywhere. Quickly change your posture. Otherwise, you will have to be distracted to take care of you when you are on the front line."

Now he stopped talking, lowered his head and stuffed food into his mouth vigorously. Tang Fang sighed: "Aros, take good care of him."

Seeing the veteran nodding his head and saying "OK", Tang Fang turned and walked out of the room, passing the morgue. Go back to the front lab hall. Valentine and his assistants are injecting "euthanasia" injections into living human organs in glass vessels. This is Aros' request, and it is also Tang Fang's wish.

Bai Hao squatted outside the door with a pale face, gritted his teeth from time to time, and secretly said fiercely: "Bastard, you really have no conscience. If I catch you, you bastards will be torn apart."

"Let's go, go ahead and have a look." Tang Fang didn't say much, and walked forward without saying a word. Behind him, Bai Hao got up and quickly followed.

At the corner of the corridor lay several corpses of security guards, and in the corner was a shaved Gatling machine gun, presumably the masterpiece of a fanatic.

After turning a corner and not far ahead, there was another piece of wreckage from a fierce battle. The five defense robots stopped in place, as if they were dead. The heads of several soldiers dressed as "Earth Knights" were blown to the side. Even the helmet made of ultra-thin ceramic composite steel armor was blown to pieces, spreading all over the floor. Don't think about it. It must be dry.

The two continued to move forward, walked for about a minute, passed through several fighting areas, and turned left at the end. From a distance, they saw Grant and four others waiting outside the dilapidated gate, with the fanatics behind. The machine gunners lined up on both sides.

According to Valentine, the area on the other side of the gate belongs to the core research room, and only Faraday's direct descendants have the right to enter. Children raised by stepmothers like them, let alone enter. Even if they get together, they will be executed as spies.

Tang Fang and Bai Hao walked up to Grant, looked at each other, and nodded. He doesn't need to introduce the situation in the connection channel, and he has already understood the general situation from there.

"Let's go." Greeting the two, the three fanatics rushed through the hole in the center of the gate first, Tang Fang stepped in, stood still, and looked around.

From the outside, it is indeed a connecting passage, but after entering the inside, it is a different scene. It is not so much a connecting passage as it is an extension of the core research room.

On both sides of the aisle are rows of large cylindrical glass containers, blisters in the transparent nutrient solution, some are empty, some are floating naked human bodies, or weird creatures with fur removed, of course, there are also Some mutants that appear to be dead.

Bai Hao felt that the gastric juice was churning and stirring again, but Grant had a sullen face and remained silent.

It has entered the stealth state, guarded by about 3 people, and two rows of machine gunners have also entered the corridor, walking at the end.

Tang Fang walked all the way, looking all the way, when the three people walked halfway, the "biological specimens" in six containers, three on the left and three on the right, caught his attention.

It was a creature whose upper body was similar to a slug. Of course, it was much larger, with the height of two people and the width of three people. Its skin was white and translucent, and the body fluid inside could almost be seen.

There are two legs on the lower body of the creature, which seems to be used for walking. There is also a long tail at the back, the tip is forked, and many slender flagella are scattered, just like the whisk in the hands of Taoists.

Grant and Bai Hao looked at the huge creatures on the left and right in a daze. Bai Hao's face showed a bit of fear, not because he was naturally timid, but because the three pairs of hooks on the left and right of "Slug" were too scary.

Different from the whiteness of the body, they are all black, and when viewed from a distance, it makes one feel cold all over. Bai Hao grew up in Rector since he was a child, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was only 17 and a half years old, he would inevitably feel a little bit worried.

Grant didn't change his face and heartbeat, just like Tang Fang, he remained calm from beginning to end. After all, after seeing the giant snake in the ruins of Ypsilon, these "slugs" in front of them can only be regarded as small compared to the former.

"Boss and Brother Grant are really not ordinary people." Bai Hao secretly sighed: "No, I must not be timid, I must be brave, and I must not hold everyone back."

Bai Hao pissed himself off for a long time, but when he looked up and saw the three pairs of sickles exuding malice even through the glass cabin, he suddenly felt like eggplants that had been hit by frost, and his whole body withered.

"These things are not something that can be defeated by the spiritual victory method at all, but fortunately, they are made into specimens, and they are locked in glass containers and cannot come out." Bai Hao could only comfort himself in his heart.

The good way is that the house leaks happen to rain all night, and the boat is late and windy. He just dropped the idea. I suddenly felt a shock under my feet, and then, the alarm lights on both sides of the ceiling lit up, and the sealed glass container rose upwards, carrying a pungent smell, and the physiological solution gushed out instantly. In the blink of an eye, it went all over the place.

A slug fell down, and the moment its two fat feet stepped on the ground, it made a dull and weird "grunt" sound like an evil beast awakened from a deep sleep. Then, the two antennae on its head moved, and its fist The big and small eyeballs shot two bloodthirsty gazes at the three people in the middle of the aisle.

Bai Hao was so frightened by this sudden scene that he forgot to move or shoot. He didn't wake up until the big slug kicked its hind legs and rushed towards him quickly. The two hooks on its upper body were carrying a gust of wind and hit him head-on. But it was too late to escape.

He tried to block with his gun, but the slug was faster. The swinging speed of the hook sickle was as fast as lightning. Bai Hao never expected that this bloated guy would have such agility, once the pair of dark and dull hooks approached. He will inevitably be decapitated.

Bai Hao's eyes widened in an instant, and he felt his hands and feet were cold, and a chill ran down his spine and rushed to his forehead. Just when he fell into despair, a blue rainbow flashed across the interlaced black and white light and shadow, cutting obliquely along the root of the hook sickle. The pair of hooked sickles that were drawn towards his neck were easily split into two, and fell to the ground with a "click".

"Tick tock, tick tock." The reddish-brown body fluid dripped on the ground and formed a puddle around the broken hook sickle.

"Huh..." The slug let out a mournful cry, with a sharp and ear-piercing voice.

Qing Hong didn't stop. Four beams of brilliance flashed, "Pa-ta, pa-ta..." Three pairs of hooked sickles snapped off at the same root, and fell to the ground one after another. The reddish-brown bodily fluid splashed all over Bai Hao like a fountain.

The slug backed away step by step, its milky white body twitching and trembling. As you can see, it hurts.

There was a flash of light and shadow nearby, and the lightning receded slowly like a tide, and a person holding a psionic blade appeared in front of the slug. "Boom, boom." Two muffled sounds, 25 sniper bombs entered the body of the slug and exploded, directly opening two large holes in its chest and abdomen, and the viscous milky white fluid mixed with reddish brown body fluid blew out with a "wow" one place.

At this time, Bai Hao also regained his senses, raised the -14 piercing hand in his hand, pulled the trigger hard, and beat the dog in the water.

"Da da da da..." The gunfire blazed, and the dense metal nails were like a dense rain of arrows, falling on the slug's body and splashing water one after another. Gradually, the milky white mucus turned red and brown, and the slug's mournful cry also subsided, and finally fell limply to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Bai Hao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Just now, death had passed him by. If it wasn't for the presence of invisibility, he would have gone to hell to see Lord Hades. On the battlefield, there is only a thin line between life and death, just like the slug in front of you, the speed is unimaginable. However, it was faster than it, which directly caused it to lose the opportunity, was beaten into a hornet's nest by a series of attacks, and lost its life.

By the way, Boss and the others, I don't know how they are doing. To save his life, Bai Hao finally thought of Grant and Tang Fang. He turned his head and saw that Grant was stepping on the slug's head with one foot and inserting the -14 piercing hand into its mouth with the other hand. The trigger was pulled repeatedly, and the Up and down, shot the poor guy right through.

"Brother Grant is so fierce, he pretends to be a good b." Of course, he said this in his heart.

Next, Bai Hao looked at Tang Fang. Four slugs fell in a circle in front of him, and the viscous body fluids spread underground, mixed with the physiological solution, and released a disgusting pungent smell.

Tang Fang didn't change his expression, he removed the wrist armor of the power armor, and touched the slug's body with his bare right arm.

"Boss... What is Boss doing?" The second monk Bai Haozhang was puzzled, not to mention that the body fluid of the slug is viscous and disgusting, making people sick, God knows if this thing is poisonous, what should I do if it is harmful to the human body?

Grant shrugged: "God knows, his behavior has always been weird."

Bai Hao was in a hurry: "What if the corpse is poisonous? No, we can't let the boss put himself in danger." Saying that, he was about to step forward to stop Tang Fang.

Grant quickly pulled him back: "You boy, why worry about it. How could Tang Fang not think of what we can think of. He must have his own considerations for doing this."

Tang Fang heard all the conversation between Grant and Bai Hao, and he didn't bother to explain. The slug is obviously a kind of creature. Although its ability is relatively low, it may not be able to unlock any Zerg units, but there should be some life energy, and maybe it can collect gas.

Ignoring Bai Hao's reminder, he walked slowly to the side of the slug's body, stretched out his right hand, and gently pressed on the wound that was still oozing red-brown liquid.

The sticky liquid spread on the palm of the hand, it was icy cold without any warmth.

"Unknown a-sequence detected, diagnostics started..."

"Diagnosis is complete, confirm the adaptability of the Zerg."

"Recombine the genetic structure, gene level b, unlock the research tree, technology level 2, unlock the building 'Hydraulus Nest'."

"The collection of life energy is complete, the number is 180."

"Stab... Hydralisk Nest?" Tang Fang felt a little dizzy. Thinking about unlocking the second Zerg building "Spire", it can be said that it was a waste of effort and almost cost him his life. Only then did he succeed in killing it. giant snake. Fortunately, this time, it was easy to activate the "Hydralisk Nest", which is too dramatic. (To be continued..)
