Chapter 234 Zuo Jing’s Evil

In addition to asking the Queen of Worms to conduct research on prostheses, Chen Ming also asked the Queen of Worms to conduct research based on the abilities of the Zerg.

Because he found that the Zerg also has a very strong resistance to toxins.

To be precise, it should not be resistance, but an ability.

After ingesting toxic substances, the Zerg can secrete special substances that can remove or neutralize toxic substances at a very fast speed.

This special substance is an antidote for the Zerg, but not necessarily for humans.

So Chen Ming asked the Queen of Worms to find a way to secrete these special substances while retaining the original function while removing the parts that are harmful to humans.

Chen Ming has no ability to resist poison, so if he is poisoned one day, he may be saved by the Queen of Worms' ability.

And this technology was really successfully developed by the Queen of Worms.

It's just that this technology was developed by the Queen of Worms when the prosthetic technology was fully mature.

With the prosthesis, the possibility of Chen Ming being poisoned is greatly reduced.

So Chen Ming originally thought that it was unlikely that he would be able to use this technology.

But he didn't expect that he could still use it now.

Used on the driver who had been injected with too much stimulant.

But if he wanted to use this technology now, there was a problem, that is, the existence of the Zerg might be exposed.

At most, he could only let the Queen try to decompose these special substances after detoxifying the driver, but he could not guarantee a 100% success rate and that all the residues would be eliminated.

It would be too easy to analyze the composition of these unique substances.

The Thorn Zerg and Zerg-related biotechnology are Chen Ming's trump cards, and exposing the trump cards is not a good thing.

But if Chen Ming does not use this technology now, he has no other drugs on hand, and this driver will die.

Many clues will be directly disconnected here.

Seeing that the driver's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, Chen Ming no longer had time to think too much.

The Zerg creature carapace on his wrist suddenly came alive, and a tiny insect egg instantly hatched on the carapace, forming a small piece of the Queen's body.

The Queen's body continued to differentiate, and several flexible tentacles then waved as if they were growing on Chen Ming's wrist.

The Queen's consciousness was also quickly transmitted to these tentacles, and she understood Chen Ming's thoughts.

The end of one of the tentacles immediately grabbed a syringe on the ground, decomposed and discharged all the original pink liquid, and filled the inside of the syringe with light green liquid instead.

The tentacles moved very quickly, and suddenly pierced the syringe into the driver's neck artery, which made Chen Ming's neck cold.

The light green liquid was injected into the driver's body.

After just a dozen seconds, the driver suddenly coughed violently and spit out a lot of light pink blood.

Just when Chen Ming was worried that the driver would cough to death and the syringe would break.

The Queen's tentacles on his wrist suddenly pulled out the syringe.

Fortunately, there was no blood spurting out of the driver's neck, and the coughing gradually stopped, and even the driver's breathing stabilized.

Then the syringe was suddenly controlled by the tentacles to pierce other tentacles.

The Queen extracted part of its own tissue and stuffed it into the syringe, mixed with some thinner light green liquid, and pierced the driver's neck again.

Just now, the Queen of Insects was helping the driver to excrete stimulants. This time, it was the Queen of Insects who cleaned up the special substances remaining in the driver's body according to Chen Ming's request.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming subconsciously relaxed a little.

Although the Queen of Insects has never learned the ability to express herself in language, she is still very skilled in these abilities related to the Zerg.

It is likely that the traces left by it can be removed.

In addition, the Queen of Insects has a full understanding of the human body during the time she studied prostheses.

The driver's life should be saved.

Chen Ming used chains and handcuffs made of metal liquid to tie up the unconscious driver.

Then he retracted all the tentacles on his wrist into the carapace wrist guard.

Chen Ming moved his wrist slightly.

He stood up and looked outside the door of the cockpit.

Then, it was time to see what the other people on the spaceship were doing.

There was only one person in the cockpit of a spaceship with ten people. The others couldn't have done nothing, right?

And this driver couldn't have stayed in the cockpit all the time. There must be some traces left in other parts of the spaceship.

However, Chen Ming first opened the panel of the spacecraft again, so that the three-dimensional image of the spacecraft appeared in front of him.

Just as Chen Ming was about to start investigating the spacecraft from the panel, he suddenly heard the sound of a door being broken outside.

Someone was trying to open the door of the cab.

Chen Ming immediately came to the door of the cab, unlocked the door, and opened the door.

At this time, outside the cab, there were four or five people holding different tools, looking like they were ready to break in by force.

And when they saw the closed cab door suddenly open and a figure wearing power armor suddenly appeared, they were frightened and took a few steps back.

"What's the situation? You...you are..."

The man standing in the front subconsciously raised the electric saw-like tool in his hand, pointed at Chen Ming fearfully, and stammered and barely said half a sentence.

Chen Ming saw confusion and anxiety in his and other people's eyes, and no other extra emotions.

It seemed that they really didn't know what happened inside.

Chen Ming opened the mask of the power armor and said: "Don't the people who delivered the goods to me know me?"

"Mr. Chen Ming!"

The people present quickly put down their tools and said to Chen Ming: "We have been unable to enter the cab since five minutes ago. Lao Liu... uh, Liu Wei locked the door and didn't answer our calls."

The man in the front looked past Chen Ming and looked inside the cab.

When he saw Liu Wei lying on the ground and the needles on the ground, he began to stutter again.

"Liu Wei... he... is he..."

Chen Ming's footsteps moved slightly, completely blocking the eyes of several people.

"Don't worry about him."

Chen Ming pointed at the man who had just spoken: "Go and call everyone on the ship, wait here, don't run around, and cooperate with the investigation."

"Cooperate well, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The man pointed at by Chen Ming bowed his head in fear and agreed, and quickly picked up the communication equipment used on the ship to contact people in other places on the spacecraft.

Chen Ming also walked out of the cabin directly and closed the door of the cabin.

Looking around the expressions of the people present again, he controlled the spacecraft to land near the location reserved for these cargo ships in the dome.

The staff of the dome came as usual to prepare to receive the experimental materials.

However, they also received a message from Chen Ming immediately, asking them to ignore the cargo ship.

Although this order was strange, the staff still accepted it.

After all these preparations were completed, Chen Ming still did not wait for Bai Quan's contact.

But he did wait for another person to contact.

He had specially taken care of it before. When he was meeting remotely at the headquarters of the 14th Corps, the researcher who first proposed to bring the mechanical tribe here to find Chen Ming seemed to be called Lu Kang.

He sent a message to Chen Ming through the contact information that Chen Ming left for his researchers: "Mr. Chen Ming, did you receive the video I sent?"

Chen Ming was stunned, and only then did he notice that last night, when the simulation had already started.

Lu Kang sent him a video.

And he had not seen it until now.

It can only be said that basically no one uses proper means to contact him.

After all, he is now openly inside the 14th Corps, and external communications cannot be connected.

If you want to contact him, several people Chen Ming knows have the special terminal he gave out, so there is no need to use proper contact methods.

And Bai Quan in the 14th Corps has always used the terminal given to him by Chen Ming as a normal contact method.

So under normal circumstances, no one uses the terminal to contact him, and he naturally does not often check it.

As a result, this situation was encountered.

Lu Kang should not be idle to contact him, this video may have something important.

Chen Ming immediately downloaded the video, which was about ten minutes long.

He accelerated the video and started playing it.

This video was recorded yesterday afternoon, after Chen Ming left for the simulation.

Lu Kang probably finished his dinner in the cafeteria, and took a glass bottle filled with an unknown drink to the rooftop of the office building to relax.

Although Chen Ming arranged independent offices for researchers in the entire dome, researchers usually stay in laboratories or experimental buildings, and few people come here.

So the whole building is usually deserted, and Lu Kang just found a deserted place to stay.

Moreover, Chen Ming could see a few empty glass bottles in the corner of the rooftop, and it seemed that this was not his first time here.

Lu Kang leaned against the edge of the rooftop, drank a sip of the drink, and suddenly talked to himself.

"On April 9, 5602, Mr. Chen Ming's research on the Purgatory Core has been completed. Although I was only responsible for a very small part of it, I can also see from it how powerful the relics left by that civilization are and how high Mr. Chen Ming's technical level is."

"Today, Mr. Chen Ming also gave us a complete research report on the Purgatory Core for us to study, and gave us a day of rest."

"I have applied for the right to use an empty laboratory for a week, and tomorrow I can try to follow Mr. Chen Ming's ideas to conduct research."

Chen Ming saw that Lu Kang was writing a diary.

"It's a pity that I don't have the authority to apply for a Purgatory Core for research. I can only use a computer first..."

"Wait, what are those two doing?"

Lu Kang's mumbling suddenly stopped

He looked at the corner next to the laboratory building, as if he noticed something.

He then picked up the terminal that was recording himself and turned to the bottom of the office building.

Behind the office building, two people were talking in a hidden corner of the square garden that had been repaired once.

And this location happened to be a blind spot for internal monitoring of the dome.

The surveillance in the dome is not fully covered.

For example, there is no surveillance in every room of the dormitory building.

At the same time, there are some blind spots in the surveillance of public areas.

Only the central laboratory and other laboratory buildings can ensure full coverage without blind spots. After all, these two places are important.

Chen Ming knew this.

Originally, he wanted to make up for it himself, but after Hu Yi assassinated him before, a company responsible for the security of the dome, which had a cooperation with the 14th Corps, added a plan to block all blind spots in his dome security plan.

Chen Ming let the company do it themselves.

Unexpectedly, before all the surveillance was installed, someone was hiding in such a place to talk about something.

No matter who came here, they could feel something was wrong.

So Lu Kang secretly recorded the whole process from behind.

And he waited until the two left for a long time before leaving the office building and returning to his dormitory.

Using the lip reading tool he found, he read the content of the conversation between the two people.

Although the two talked for a long time, the most critical content was only three sentences.

Tomorrow, a spacecraft carrying mechanical samples will hit the dome.

What they have to do is to make some misoperations to let the mechanical race run out.

At the same time, use the shelter under the central laboratory to lock all the rest of the people out.

So Lu Kang sent the video directly to Chen Ming at that time, and also put the content read by lip reading in.

Chen Ming really didn't expect this to happen.

Fortunately, he came back at the right time, otherwise he might regret not looking at the terminal for a while.

But fortunately, things didn't develop in the worst direction.

Chen Ming immediately found these two people through the information and video footage of all the staff he had.

One of them was a professional cleaning staff hired by the 14th Corps. Not only did he clean the toilet, he also had to be responsible for the cleaning of the laboratory and some cleaning work in the laboratory's sterile room.

Although the researchers can also be responsible for cleaning themselves, it would definitely be more convenient if there were special people to do it.

The other one was also hired by a company responsible for designing the dome security system, that is, an employee of the company responsible for installing the new surveillance.

No wonder they could directly find a place where the surveillance had not been installed yet to talk.

It seems that Chen Ming has to consider whether the safety of the dome will be completely his responsibility.

Originally, this company was only responsible for the maintenance of the dome's security system. With them, Chen Ming could pay attention to the security system for a long time.

But even without them, Chen Ming would only have to maintain the security system once a week, and it wouldn't be a big deal to use psychic energy to repair it once.

If it doesn't work, just replace it.

Chen Ming silently gave this security company a cross in his heart.

Then he found the two people who talked last night in the dome. Within the coverage of psychic energy, the whereabouts of everyone under the dome were under his control.

At this point in time, the two people saw the transport mechanical family's spacecraft landed safely, and they might have been a little anxious.

Chen Ming didn't waste much time and directly took over the access control system and security system to prevent them from escaping.

Then, under his control, a large amount of metal liquid suddenly appeared under the feet of the two people who seemed to be completely fine on the surface.

It restricted their movements like a chain, dragging them to the square outside the laboratory in the shocked eyes of the people around them.

The iconic thing of metal liquid immediately made everyone who saw this scene know that it was Chen Ming who did it.

So they immediately followed up and quickly spread the news throughout the dome, which had less than a hundred people in total.

As the crowd gradually gathered in the square.

The two people who were dragged away by the metal liquid had been tied up in the center of the square.

Chen Ming, wearing a power armor, stood beside them.

The security guard lowered his head and remained silent.

The cleaner kept muttering something, with a pious look and a little madness.

Chen Ming listened a little and found that what he was muttering was the doctrine of the Lutheran Church.

Chen Ming had specially checked the information of the Lutheran Church, the source of Zuo Jing, and just knew this.

However, the doctrine he was muttering now was somewhat different from the doctrine of the church itself. Obviously, these deviations were Zuo Jing's modification of the doctrine of the church itself.

It basically confirmed that Zuo Jing was not going to run away.

And the cleaner suddenly raised his head with a fierce look, as if he saw the murderer of his father.

"It's too late for you to catch me now. The Light of Lud will soon be in this blasphemous dome..."

"Are you talking about this?"

Before the cleaning lady finished speaking, some metallic liquid suddenly condensed in the center of Chen Ming's palm, and after dispersing, several bundles of crudely handmade explosives were revealed.

"Is this the Light of Lud you mentioned? The explosion is the Light of Lud?"

Chen Ming sneered.

The bundles of explosives instantly decomposed into the most basic materials in Chen Ming's palm.

And the cleaning lady's originally crazy voice seemed to have been suddenly mute-buttoned, and the look she gave Chen Ming was full of fearful hatred.

"Blaster..."

Chen Ming slapped the cleaning lady in the face. He knew that someone was going to make trouble, so how could he not investigate the dormitory of the person who was making trouble.

Although there was no surveillance in the dormitory, since the entire dome was under his control, he knew best what was in each location in the dome.

Chen Ming took a piece of disassembled cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, which was cursing quietly.

Then he looked at the security guard who was keeping his head down and remained silent and said, "What's wrong with you? Have you also been infected with the left path?"

"No, it's just that I need money, so..."

"Lack of money?"

Chen Ming knew that the monthly maintenance cost of his dome's security system was not low.

"Isn't your company making a lot of money? You should be considered an expat in a place like this. How much money do you make?"

The security guard still lowered his head and said, "It's not enough. My mother needs a lot of money for surgery. I've been trying to find someone to borrow it, but the gap is too big. The hospital is pressing hard, so I can't help it."

"Then he came to me and asked me to deliberately mis-operate when a spacecraft hits the dome tomorrow and hide underground with me."

"Then I agreed, but I planned to take the people on Zuojiao with me and die outside."

The security guard raised his head as he spoke, his eyes a little gray, but full of sincerity.

"I bought myself a life safety insurance. You can check this, Mr. Chen Ming."

"As long as I die, my mother can rely on the three million I got from Zuo Jing and the seven million I got from the insurance to cover the surgery, and she can also use the money I borrowed from the bank during this period."

"I have also found a place. Zuo Jing has not been seen in the past ten years. As long as my mother can hide with money for a few years, Zuo Jing will not be able to find them."

Chen Ming frowned slightly, picked up the terminal and checked the background of the security guard along with his identity.

Although he is currently under the military system, the military system and the police system are connected in some places.

Even though this was somewhat against the rules, Chen Ming still directly used this authority to check the identity of the security guard.

Then, he saw the news that made him unable to react immediately and was stunned.

Chen Ming frowned. After watching for a few minutes, he suddenly turned his sympathetic eyes to the security guard and asked, "How long has it been since you... went home?"

"About six or seven years. My mother, my wife and my brother take care of me at home."

"Well...there's some bad news."

"Your mother passed away about three years ago. The cause of death was complications from a cold."

The security guard stayed in place for a second, and suddenly tried desperately to break away from the restraints of the metallic liquid on his body, and shouted at Chen Ming: "What did you say?"

His struggle was obviously useless, but Chen Ming also easily retrieved the records on the terminal and put the terminal screen in front of the security guard.

"Look at it for yourself. This is an autopsy report. You, the security guard, should be able to understand it, right?"

"The cause of death shown in the report was the most basic cold, but due to the long-term lack of treatment, the elderly person was in poor health, which ultimately led to death."

"Impossible...impossible..."

The security guard spoke with a trembling tone, but the photo of the corpse was indeed that of his mother.

He repeated the three words "impossible", his beating heart gradually became lower, and tears slowly filled the corners of his eyes.

"That's impossible. My mother is very open-minded and will tell me anything important as soon as possible."

"And she has no financial resources. She relies on me to give her all the money. Every money she spends on me is clearly accounted for, saying that she owes me."

"If she catches a cold, she will definitely go to the hospital as soon as possible, and she will definitely tell me if she spends money, it is impossible to die...it is impossible..."

"Impossible...This is absolutely impossible..."

Chen Ming reached out and pushed the security guard who couldn't accept the reality at all and said, "Then you have to ask your brother and your wife what they are doing."

"Why can you still contact your mother after she has been dead for three years? Someone is lying to you."

"According to my investigation... Maybe what I say may sound a bit harsh, but your mother's body was not sent to the hospital by your brother and wife."

"Your neighbor found the body, otherwise why would there be this autopsy report?"

"And I suddenly thought, why didn't your mother even cure her cold?"

“With today’s medical technology, even those who go to the hospital lying down can still stand and walk back.”

"Even if your mother wants to save you money and treat it slowly, the cost of medicine for a cold is only more than ten yuan, which may not be worth a meal."

"You also have a salary of 30,000 yuan a month, right? You also send home 20,000 yuan a month. Why don't you treat me?"

"The autopsy report shows that your mother didn't have any leg injuries or mobility issues, and she didn't have any problems like Alzheimer's before. It could only be that someone restrained her."

Anbao followed Chen Ming's suspicion and thought of his wife and brother, but he did not dare to speak.

But Chen Ming was thinking about more than just these two people.

"It would be easier for the old man to get more money from you if he were alive. It is impossible to cure a cold."

"Unless... Zuojia."

Chen Ming suddenly kicked the cleaning lady next to him who was still staring at him with hatred.

"Zuo Jing hates modern technology extremely. If your brother and wife believe in Zuo Jing, everything will make sense."

"Why do you think Zuo Jing knew you needed money?"

"I just checked your capital flow. You only borrowed money from a bank, and it was a bank from your hometown."

"Obviously you were worried that your colleagues would know about it, so you never told any outsiders about it, but Zuo Jing knew about it."

"Then it just so happened that the made-up hospital said in the past few days that your mother was in urgent need of a large sum of money for surgery. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Also, I want to tell you something. Your brother and wife are currently missing. Do you think they have become Zuo Jing, or is Zuo Jing talking to you through them?"

An Bao's bitter face was covered with tears, but he suddenly laughed: "Ha...hahahaha...Zuo Jing...I'm such a fucking joke."

"I should...this is how my life will be...Mom..."

Chen Ming untied him, but he suddenly knelt on the ground, curled up on the ground, crying helplessly and silently.

An Bao looked to be in his forties. This scene made Chen Ming feel a little distressed, so he could only raise his head and not look at him.

However, Chen Ming suddenly took a deep breath and said to the dozens of people who were also watching in silence; "Let me say this first, many of you who can work in such a place are not short of money."

"But if you really encounter any accidents... come to me, I have the ability and connections."

"As long as it is reasonable, I can help you solve it."

"I don't want to see this happen again."

"Okay, go your separate ways."

"Don't bother me to deal with this matter later."

When Chen Ming finished speaking, he saw a legion's spacecraft about to land outside the dome.
