Chapter 497 Attacked on the Way
She wasn't even a shadow of Charlotte. ⊥,
No identity, no self, no soul, even the body is a copy of someone else... It's really pathetic.
Tang Fang took a deep breath and decided to give her a chance.
A chance for her to survive and find herself again.
He turned his attention back to the system space, selected the parasitic mode, and pressed Izsha's production hotkey.
Resource values dropped from 1340825, 354934 to 1220825, 274934.
A large lump of mucus is secreted from the intestine-shaped organ on the surface of the wormhole, and a brown parasite much smaller than a larva appears on the creep with its head shaking its tail.
Next, under Tang Fang's careful manipulation, the fist-sized parasite entered the real world, then climbed onto the face of the female Morris slave who had been subdued by two nurses, and burrowed into the internal organs from the mouth.
The fierce light in the female Morris slave's eyes gradually faded, and the strength of her struggle gradually slowed down. Finally, she stopped on the ground, staring blankly at the shining light tubes on the ceiling.
Tang Fang keenly noticed an abnormality. Her chest and abdomen rose and fell violently several times, and some viscous liquid began to secrete from under the ragged clothes. It was not sweat, but some purple-brown tissue fluid. spot.
These interstitial fluids seeped out from the subcutaneous, slowly stuck together, and accumulated thicker and brighter, and finally formed a crystal structure on the surface of her body, like a human-shaped amethyst.
There was a strange fragrance floating in the room, a bit like red sandalwood, very strong, as thick as the mist in the early morning of late autumn, even blocking the light.
I don't know if it's the refraction of light, or the smelly gas itself is a purple substance, and the whole room becomes foggy. The eyes are all purple, as if entering the fairyland.
Emma told him that the transformation of the parasite into the human body needs a process, which may take 3 days or 5 days, depending on the physical fitness of the host.
Tang Fang felt that it was meaningless for him to stay here any longer. So he let Amethyst continue to "ferment", he opened the door and walked out, released two fanatics, told them to guard the door, and immediately notify him if there was any trouble, and then walked quickly to the bridge.
…………
Tang Yun never expected to be tricked by her dear elder brother, and was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ai's strong move in,
Of course, this expression will only be shown in front of Tang Fang and Claire. Facing Zhou Ai, I dare not lend her courage.
On this issue, Tang Fang was very stubborn. No matter how she acted like a baby, even if she pulled out her parents who had been dead for many years, it didn't have any effect.
This disappointed Xiao Nizi, she could only accept this reality helplessly, and usually restrain herself. He tried his best to make Zhou Ai happy, lest the "old witch" bring out the "Shang Fang Sword" to punish her.
For such a result. Tang Fang was quite satisfied. Tang Yun, a little girl, definitely belonged to the kind of "a good man who doesn't suffer in front of him". Good girl.
certainly. All these are appearances, otherwise she would not call Zhou Ai like "Sister Zhou Ai" before her and "Old Witch" later.
Tang Fang was very happy about one thing, because since the last conversation, Zhou Ai did not avoid him anymore. It was back to the days of talking and laughing in the past, and Claire didn't show any abnormalities.
Since Roy's right arm was "upgraded", he started to practice a lot in order to obtain perfect control and precision. This is a good thing for him, but for the chief cook in charge of the warehouse, it is extremely frustrating. blocked thing.
He is a very frugal person, and the sentence he utters most to his subordinates every day is "the day of hoeing is at noon, and every grain is hard."
For such a person, it is definitely a kind of suffering to watch that bottomless big eater eat up the food stored in the warehouse box by box, but he has no way to object, because the beloved captain asked him a word , "If Roy were your son, would you still think it was a waste?"
The truth is, Roy is not his son. Even if he is his son, the chief cook will try to stop the mouth that cannot be fed, because he has made a vow since the first day he picked up the spoon , I will never let my son get fat first like other chefs' children, and eat into a big fat man.
His son did not become a fat man, but became a navy soldier, and never came back after leaving home at the age of 17.
…………
On the fourth day, at around 13 o'clock on the "Morning Star" time, Tang Fang was hiding in the captain's cabin and sleeping late, when the fanatic who was in charge of guarding the female Morris slave sent a message --- there was movement in the room.
His drowsy brain suddenly woke up, he didn't dare to neglect, put on his military uniform and went out, and hurried to the confinement room in the belly of the ship.
After four days of "fermentation", the room was filled with purple mist, and the gas was almost condensed into substance, and the eyes were all purple, and nothing could be distinguished.
The movement mentioned by the fanatic comes from the amethyst in the center of the room, and occasionally a crisp beep can be heard, similar to the sound of glass breaking.
Tang Fang swiped open the touch screen on the right side of the door and activated the ventilation equipment of the air conditioning system.
A square area on the ceiling shrank and opened, the air-conditioning equipment was activated, and the purple mist in the room became thinner and lighter at a rapid rate.
The room gradually became clearer, and the light from the ceiling fell to the ground without hindrance, shining on the human-shaped crystal.
At this moment, the surface of the originally smooth amethyst is covered with large and small cracks, and the number of cracks continues to increase as time goes by.
As these cracks, large and small, joined together, the sound of cracking ice became more and more urgent.
Tang Fang is a very careful person. He retreated slowly to the door. In front of him was a human wall formed by two fanatics. Because he didn't know what would happen when the amethyst was broken, the first thing that flashed in his mind was The idea is to hide behind something so as not to be hurt by broken glass.
Facts proved that his worry was not superfluous at all. When those fine cracks bloomed to every corner of the amethyst, it exploded like a bomb, and large and small amethyst fragments scattered all over the sky.
Fortunately, the force was not very strong, and there were fanatics acting as a wall, which did not cause any harm to him.
A slightly larger piece of amethyst broke the shell of the rectangular light tube on the ceiling and nailed it in like an arrow.
The lamps are not all broken. Some of them can still be used, but the brightness of the lights is much lower, and the color becomes a kind of lavender, like a neon light that does not change color.
Tang Fang walked out from behind the fanatics, his military boots creaked and cracked as he stepped on the purple crystal fragments.
hard to imagine. These purple crystals, formed from condensed bodily fluids, are as hard as glass.
In the center of the room shrouded in purple light lay a person, naked and naked, his skin exuded a soft luster under the light of the lavender light, no matter the old scars on his body, or the wounds that appeared from scratching before, all disappeared. Not even a mole can be found.
After hesitating for a moment, he took off his military uniform and covered the female Morris slave, then picked her up from the ground.
I didn't see her face just now because of the angle. At this time, with the help of the light on the roof, I finally saw her appearance clearly.
Similar to the situation on the back, the scars on the cheeks also disappeared without a trace, the eyebrows are delicate, the teeth are white, the lips are red, the eyelashes are very long, and the ends are still moist, as if they have just cried.
This face was different from Charlotte's. Only the facial outlines are somewhat similar.
"Could it be that this is her original appearance?"
Emma said that parasites will assimilate and absorb human genes. Then reshape the body, the face of the female Morris slave that is half or half similar to Charlotte is not a natural growth, it is obtained by means of plastic surgery, and now it is restored under the action of parasites, and it is natural and reasonable to restore the original appearance.
"Cough, cough. Cough..."
Because of the change in body position, the female Morris slave was choked by the body fluid accumulated in the respiratory tract, woke up suddenly, turned her head to cough violently, and spit out a lot of clear and thin body fluid.
After a few breaths. She turned her head, as if she was not surprised to be embraced by Tang Fang, and said respectfully, "Please let me down."
Tang Fang frowned, looking at the crystal fragments on the ground with some hesitation.
"Please put me down," she said again.
Tang Fang could only gently put her on the ground as he said.
The female Morris slave stepped back in a military uniform, and the amethyst burst under her feet. Strangely, it did not damage the skin. The seemingly delicate fleshy skin has a harder and more flexible texture than it looks.
She retreated to a distance of three feet from Tang Fang and stopped, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said, "Master...ren..."
Tang Fang frowned again, not because he disliked the female Morris slave, but because he didn't like the title.
If it was an inhuman alien like the Queen of Worms, it would be no problem to call him this way, but now kneeling in front of him is a person---at least a living body with human thoughts and human appearance, which makes him somewhat Not used to it.
"Just call me Captain."
"Yes, Captain."
"Do you have a name?"
"sem180570347"---sem stands for the planet "Selm", the famous Morris slave settlement in the Phoenix Empire, 18 stands for the 18th district, 0570347 means she is the 57th generation of test-tube babies, and 0347 is her number.
Tang Fang always thought of himself as a lazy person, and felt that naming a name was a very difficult thing, so he shamelessly carried forward the spirit of borrowing and said, "From today onwards, you will be Izsha."
"Yes, Captain."
"Can you be more natural and less formal?"
Emma once said that after being reborn, she will fuse Izsha and her own memory to form a new way of thinking, but right now it seems that she is clearly the epitome of Izsha.
She said, "How can you be considered natural and unpretentious?"
Tang Fang was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered her origin. The culture of Morris slaves in the Phoenix Empire is obedience and dedication, which completely kills individual temperament. Compared with people, they are more like machines with warmth.
Whether it is Izsha's memory or her own memory, there is no personality. There is still a long way to go before she can think like a normal person. After all, not every Morris slave is like Bai Yue is so special.
He didn't continue to dwell on this question, but changed to another topic: "Do you have anything to ask?"
She was silent for a while, then raised her head, looked into his eyes seriously, and said, "Are you really going to save Morris slave of the Phoenix Empire?"
Tang Fang was also silent for a while, looked into her eyes and said, "I really want to do this, but if it can be saved and how to save it, I still need time to help me decide."
"That's enough." She said no more. Get up and back behind him.
Although there was only one question, it fully explained one thing. Her way of thinking was no different from that of ordinary people, and she was even smarter, because she would not naively force Tang Fang to make a promise, but pointed directly at her heart. Listen to his inner thoughts.
It is easy to save a person's desire, but it is difficult to save a person's soul, it is easy to corrupt a nation's spirit, and it is very difficult to awaken a nation's will.
After gaining a new life, she understood the truth that indestructible things include rocks and steel, but they are essentially different manifestations of a substance.
"Come on, let's help you find a dress that fits you."
Tang Fang didn't open his eyes by turning her into Izsha's form like watching a monkey. Because there is no need, although the two have been communicating with each other in words, every thought in her heart cannot be concealed from his induction, even though he very much rejects this kind of behavior of prying into other people's hearts.
The confinement room is not far from the medical area. He took Izha to find Linglong. The little girl froze in place for a moment, thinking that the amiable and respectable captain would change the magic of living people and conjure a delicate woman out of thin air.
Roy said it was natural. Who on board did not know that Captain Tang was protected by the "Ipsi Dragon Artifact", which could conjure battleships and vehicles out of thin air. There are also combat units like Nurse MM, who can conjure up a woman now, so what's the fuss about.
He kept his head down when he was talking, because Tang Fang's military uniform could not completely cover the body of the woman named "Izsha". What's more important is that Linglong is standing next to her. Doing so will make her feel cold.
Li Ziming reacted quickly, took off his white coat and draped it over her body, covering up the pleasing spring scenery.
This surprised Tang Fang. The wretched middle-aged man who was proficient in dirty jokes and vulgar arts turned out to be a duplicity guy. So she grinned, and it wasn't until Linglong took her away that the smile quickly faded away.
Because Li Ziming said a word: "You kid, what on earth do you want to do? There were three of them on board. I heard that they flirted with Charlotte in 'Babylon', and now they have another 'Izsha'. Do you really think that you are a King Kong made of iron and bronze? You will cry in the future."
Tang Fang didn't cry, but couldn't stop laughing. He patted Li Ziming on the shoulder, sighed, turned and walked towards the crew quarters.
Li Ziming felt that the slap on his shoulder contained some inexplicable emotions, and when combined with the long sigh of parting, it made people feel bored from the bottom of their hearts, as if he was educating...or mocking What.
"What do you mean?"
"Think for yourself."
When these words reached Li Ziming's ears, Captain Tang had already turned into the corner at the end of the corridor, leaving a gently swaying figure on the floor behind him.
…………
He didn't go back to the captain's cabin to continue to sleep late, because halfway through the walk, there was a violent shaking under his feet, and the lighting equipment on the ceiling of the corridor flickered and rattled.
After about a few breaths, a sharp siren broke the calm in the ship, and Yuffie's anxious shout came from the broadcasting system in each area, ordering all the crew members to return to their respective positions immediately and prepare for battle.
We must know that the "Morning Star" is currently sailing at a warp speed. Under what circumstances does the crew need to be ready for battle? There is only one answer, someone is trying to intercept the battleship.
Tang Fang used the in-ship communication network to tell everyone on the bridge not to panic, stabilize their emotions, prepare to deploy the star ring, transfer the "Aurora" core to the "universal" mode, and then hurried to the bridge.
He thought that some radicals from O'Neill's group would try to intercept the "Morning Star", so he didn't show any nervousness, just like what he said to the camera before leaving the "Sky Garden", "Morning Star" It's not just a tortoise, it still has a Poseidon needle in its mouth. Whether it's the Republican Party, the troubled Congressman O'Neill, or the underground forces of the Star Alliance, if he dares to have any crooked ideas, he will not hesitate to make an example to others. , to set an example for some people.
When Tang Fang rushed to the bridge, Aros, Tang Lin, Zhou Ai, Claire and others had already arrived one step ahead of him, and they were watching the screen displayed by the holographic projection system in front of the combat command platform, exchanging their views.
The warp level has dropped to 0.8, and it won't be long before the "Morning Star" will leave the virtual space and enter the real universe.
Yuffie's face was a little pale, and the faces of the driving team in front were not very good-looking, except for Howson on the main gun console, eager to try.
Churchill stayed in "Babylon" for business, and now the main gun of "Morning Star" has fallen into his hands alone. He has been silent in "Babylon" for so long, and this guy who has always been afraid of chaos in the world is holding his breath. Some When someone hit the muzzle of a gun at his own risk, he was naturally happy to set off a big firework to listen to it.
The arrival of Tang Fang reassured the restless crew members. Claire, Aros and the others made a stand and let him to the center of the combat command platform.
"How's the preparations for 'Aurora' going?"
Yuffie said: "The zero-element reactor has been activated, and when the battleship enters the real universe, you can immediately open the star ring and deploy the 'Aurora' shield."
"Okay." Tang Fang nodded, looked at the driving crew members in front, and ordered: "At that time, the emp shock wave will affect the main engine, and prepare to start the antimatter auxiliary thruster program."
Then he shifted his gaze to Howson and said, "You know what to do."
"Don't worry." The guy said, patted his chest, he is an out-and-out layman when it comes to politics, strategy, and scientific research, but when it comes to shooting guns, he is definitely an expert among experts.
