Chapter 263 Stomach
After the body of Deputy Manager Chang was completely devoured by the Queen of Insects.
Chen Ming did not go out directly in front of Deputy Manager Chang, but waited in the room for a while.
He asked the Queen of Insects to eat the body not only to destroy the body, but also for another reason.
After waiting for dozens of seconds.
There was finally some movement from the Queen of Insects.
It transmitted most of the memories extracted from the body of Deputy Manager Chang that it had just devoured to Chen Ming's brain.
Extracting the memories of life from the brain of a living creature is also a natural ability of the species called Thorn Zerg to which the Queen of Insects belongs.
In the past, the effect of this ability was at most to allow the Queen of Insects to understand the use of some of the body tissues and organs of these creatures through memory after devouring some creatures, and at most could only obtain some vague memories.
However, as Chen Ming made several deep repairs to the Queen of Insects, some basic abilities of the Thorn Zerg have been greatly enhanced.
This of course includes the ability to obtain memories through devouring.
However, because the Queen of Insects has never learned language well, even if she communicates with Chen Ming, she relies more on psychic power and synaesthesia in consciousness, so she cannot fully screen many contents in Deputy Manager Chang's memory.
As a result, a large number of Deputy Manager Chang's memories appeared in Chen Ming's mind in an instant, which were extremely detailed.
Chen Ming could only screen the useful ones by himself.
It's not too troublesome.
Even if an ordinary person's life memory is completely stuffed into Chen Ming's brain, it is nothing to him as a psychic.
After quickly screening out the useful memories.
Chen Ming found that Deputy Manager Chang was the same as he knew before. He actually did not believe in Zuo Jing. He was just using Zuo Jing to make money.
However, the work of the personnel department of this space station is mainly the management of space station personnel.
The supervisor is responsible for the management of Zuo Jing personnel, and the deputy supervisor can only be responsible for the management of non-Zuo Jing personnel.
The gap between a person who manages Zuo Jing on the Zuo Jing space station and a person who manages non-Zuo Jing can be said to be a world of difference.
So this Deputy Manager Chang can only be regarded as a marginal figure on the space station, not too important.
However, his memory is still of some value.
Because there is a memory about the transformation process of the space station, which can be compared with the basic blueprint of the space station found by Chen Ming from the database in the underground laboratory on the planet to figure out the general situation of the space station.
In general, the space station is divided into five layers, the external personnel layer, the internal personnel layer, the core personnel layer, the isolation layer and the experimental center.
Chen Ming is in the external personnel layer.
Deputy Manager Chang usually stays in the internal personnel layer.
Of course, there is no clear partition between the internal personnel and the core personnel layer. Those who can stay in the internal personnel layer can generally enter the core personnel layer.
The situation of the isolation layer and the experimental center further inside can be figured out by just looking at the names of these two areas.
Chen Ming wants to solve the problems on the space station next, so this place must be visited.
In addition to the valuable structure of the space station, there is another valuable memory in Deputy Manager Chang's memory.
It is about the situation of Minister Ye Lirong who just came to the space station during the day.
From his memory, Chen Ming can know that Ye Lirong has actually been to this space station several times before Chen Ming came.
Deputy Manager Chang is a member of the management team after all, and he is always among the reception staff.
Every time Ye Lirong came, he could find the scene in his memory.
When Ye Lirong came for the first time, he looked very nervous, and left in a hurry after a few hours.
When he came for the second time, his expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed for more than a day before leaving.
When he came for the third time, Deputy Manager Chang happened to hear some news from other people.
It seems that it was because Ye Lirong got the news that a large number of left-handed elements were arrested in the Qiyun Star System Industrial Colony in the Sulun-6 Star Region of the Sulun Star Region, that is, Chen Ming's colony.
It just so happened that the left-handed on this ecological observation space station was connected with the left-handed on Chen Ming's colony.
So he came to determine the situation on the space station as soon as possible, and prepare to transfer as soon as possible if there is any problem.
There is indeed a connection, and Chen Ming followed the clues from the colony all the way here.
But in fact, after Ye Lirong and his team were nervous for a few days, they found that no one came to investigate this space station, and there was no clue that someone would come to investigate.
Even after the results of Chen Ming's colony came out and they were able to accept interviews, they still did not come to investigate them.
So Ye Lirong and the others thought that the people in charge of the investigation did not find the connection between the space station and the colony, and they felt relieved.
This time, they came here at the same time as Chen Ming just because the experiment on the space station seemed to have some results.
It's a pity that Deputy Manager Chang's level is still too low. He only knows what experiments are being conducted on the space station, but he doesn't know the specific content of the experiments, let alone the progress of the experiments.
Come to think of it, if Deputy Manager Chang really knew the content of the experiments being conducted on the space station, then he would basically not be able to stay on the space station.
How could such a person who got together with Zuo Jing for money not care about his life?
If he knew that the space station was doing something dangerous like dimensional infection, he would definitely try to escape immediately, so it was normal for him not to know.
If he didn't know, then he didn't know. It's not a pity.
Anyway, Chen Ming didn't expect to find any valuable information from him. It was good enough to determine the new structure of the space station after the transformation and the reason why Ye Lirong came here several times.
And there was another more important information that Chen Ming also found from his memory.
The place where Ye Lirong rested.
That's it.
Chen Ming finished exploring Deputy Manager Chang's memory and stuffed all the remaining garbage memories back to the Queen Worm. Maybe there were some valuable things in these garbage that he didn't notice.
Keeping these memories didn't take up his memory, so it wasn't a big problem.
Chen Ming took the computer in Deputy Manager Chang's room and walked out of the room.
In the puzzled eyes of the two guards, he went to the monitoring room in the core personnel area.
The two people in the monitoring room were also a little surprised and puzzled when they saw Deputy Manager Chang.
But Deputy Manager Chang was a management after all, so his attitude towards Chen Ming, who was wearing Deputy Manager Chang's face, was just confused.
Of course, Chen Ming did not give them any good face.
He directly used the Queen's tentacles to pierce their hearts and killed them.
If there may be a few ordinary people in the outer personnel layer of the space station.
But there is no way that there are ordinary people who know nothing in the core personnel layer of this Zuojing space station.
After destroying the bodies, Chen Ming went to an equipment room in the core personnel layer where the observation equipment of the ecological observation space station was placed.
At the same time, this is also the room where a sub-control console that controls the outer area partition device of the space station is located.
As for the main control console in the experimental center, that device can directly separate all parts of the space station outside the isolation area.
And this sub-device here can only separate the outer personnel layer of the space station.
Of course, this is enough for Chen Ming's current requirements.
Chen Ming quickly stood in front of the door of the equipment room.
When he was in the monitoring room before, he could clearly see that there were only two people on duty here.
So now he just pushed the door and walked in, and instantly killed the two Zuojing members on duty.
After connecting Deputy Manager Chang's computer to the area partition sub-control console.
Chen Ming set a timed start trigger program for this thing.
As long as the time is up, or he presses the button in advance, the sub-console will start, and the effect will be obvious.
After doing all this, Chen Ming left the equipment room again.
The layout of the periphery has been completed so far.
There is only one thing left to do next.
Chen Ming's eyes looked at the interior of the space station.
Ten minutes later.
When Chen Ming came to the closed door of the isolation layer, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Deputy Manager Chang, what do you want to do in the middle of the night?"
Chen Ming stood in front of the door motionless and did not answer.
Because there was no one in his sight, the source of the voice was behind him, and it was a person who suddenly appeared without any warning.
This can explain one thing, that is, the person who came is a psychic.
It seems that it is impossible to go in directly.
Chen Ming did not hesitate to directly start the signal blocking device he had modified using the equipment of the distress signal management office.
Completely cut off the possibility of communication between the space station and the outside world.
Then he turned around with a stern face and walked towards the psychic who had just appeared expressionlessly.
The psychic frowned and did not move, and asked Chen Ming again: "What do you want to do?"
Although he was a little wary of Chen Ming who was staring at Deputy Manager Chang's face, he could not be wary of an ordinary person.
Even when Chen Ming walked in front of him, he did not react at all.
He was confident that he could subdue Deputy Manager Chang, an ordinary person, with just a flick of his finger.
Until the moment when Chen Ming's right hand waved slightly, his expression finally changed. At this moment, he felt the threat of death, and his face was full of fear.
But it was too late.
Being so close to Chen Ming, no non-physical enhanced psychic could react to his movements.
I saw his right arm swinging with a shocking sonic boom in an explosive movement, and punched the face of the psychic in front of him with terrifying speed and power.
The whole head exploded instantly.
The headless body flew backwards under the force of Chen Ming's punch.
Accompanied by the blood spraying like a fountain, it hit the wall of the space station.
The corpse twitched a few times and stopped moving.
"..."
Chen Ming suddenly fell silent as he looked at the damage caused by his fist.
He knew that the beast in An Wuping's body, which he had spent a lot of time to create, had terrifying power.
But he had never expected that even if he hadn't released the beast in his body, the prosthesis of An Wuping alone could achieve this effect.
Chen Ming didn't continue to be stunned by the better-than-expected effect, and quickly searched the corpse.
However, apart from some useless medicines, Chen Ming couldn't find anything valuable.
Including anything to prove his identity.
Chen Ming didn't even know his name, nor did he know what abilities he had.
Even the awakening nerves in the brain were completely shattered by the punch just now.
At this moment, Chen Ming could only sense some weak spiritual energy fluctuations from the rotten flesh on his body and the blood flowers bursting on the surrounding walls.
Wait a minute.
Chen Ming suddenly thought of a possibility. He raised his hand and let the Queen Worm's tentacles spread again, covering the entire unmanned passage.
As the Queen Worm devoured the corpse and all the body tissues that were shattered by Chen Ming's punch.
As expected, there was a sense of satisfaction from the Queen Worm.
It ate the awakening nerves whose spiritual energy fluctuations had not completely dissipated, causing its own spiritual energy fluctuations to increase slightly.
Although it was not obvious, it was obviously the same as Chen Ming's previous situation. It was simply not digested completely. When it was digested, the gains brought by absorbing the awakening nerves would naturally appear.
It seems that the awakening nerves will have another place to go in the future.
The tentacles growing on the wrist gradually faded.
Just as Chen Ming was about to continue walking into the space station, something suddenly fell out of the Queen Worm's tentacles and landed on the ground.
This is a stone that is full of dark twisted patterns, like the stiff limbs of a dying person, and is as big as the tip of a little finger and filled with spiritual energy fluctuations.
Spiritual stone.
Chen Ming immediately picked up the stone despite the slight tingling sensation brought by the spiritual stone and the slight fluctuations in his emotions.
According to the touch Chen Ming personally felt at this time, the characteristic of this spiritual stone should be fear, which is consistent with the characteristics of the pattern on the stone.
But it seems a little wrong.
Chen Ming can be sure that he did not find this thing when he touched the corpse just now.
With his current spiritual power, it is impossible for him to not feel this thing when facing the corpse of a psychic.
Even if this spiritual stone is hidden in the body of the corpse, he can't have no perception at all, and he has to wait until the queen eats the corpse and spits it out before he finds it.
Then the question is, where did this spiritual stone come from?
Chen Ming frowned and recalled carefully just now.
He suddenly found that the size and shape of this stone seemed to be exactly the same as the yellow gem on the necklace worn by the psychic.
It seems that this spiritual stone was transformed from this gem, but the material has become the most common stone, and these patterns are painted on it.
After discovering this, Chen Ming recalled an earlier incident again.
It was some words that the boss told him when he talked about the spiritual stone with his boss.
The boss said that any strong emotional fluctuations may lead to the birth of spiritual stones.
Because everyone actually has a certain spirituality like psychics, it's just a matter of how much.
This part of human spirituality will fluctuate violently with the emergence of extreme emotions. When a person dies during this violent emotional fluctuation, this emotional fluctuation that reaches the extreme will infect the surrounding objects.
Usually, the most likely thing to be infected is stone, so spiritual stones are called spiritual stones.
At that time, Chen Ming also asked a question, that is, whether psychics can manually make spiritual stones.
The boss didn't say it at first, but when Chen Ming's psychic power was much stronger than before, the boss made it clear to him.
That is, the spirituality of the psychic is controlled by the psychic himself. Without the natural spirituality amplified by extreme emotions and natural conditions, it is impossible to create spiritual stones.
There are some things that the boss didn't make clear to him before, but he is clear now.
That is, when a psychic dies in extreme emotions, it is easier for him to infect the surrounding stones into spiritual stones than ordinary people.
And the source of this spiritual stone is naturally the fear before death.
No wonder when Chen Ming picked up this fear spiritual stone just now, there was a little more resistance from the spiritual stone compared to the first time he touched the whispering spiritual stone.
This is what the psychic left in the spiritual stone at the moment of his death.
If Chen Ming guessed correctly, if this spiritual stone was touched by other people, then other people would be able to see a fantasy from this spiritual stone, a fantasy of killing An Wuping.
Just like when Chen Ming saw the fantasy of killing Shen Yi brought to him by the whispering spiritual stone.
As long as this goal can be achieved, the emotions hidden in this spiritual stone that cause resonance will completely dissipate, and this thing will become a resonant spiritual stone.
Chen Ming suddenly had a magical idea in his mind, but he couldn't do it for the time being.
He put away the fear spiritual stone directly and prepared to go deeper into the space station.
He just killed a psychic in front of the gate separating the two areas. Although he was killed outside the isolation area, there is no need to worry about the monitoring problem, because the inside and outside of the entire space station are completely isolated.
But the sonic boom of his punch just now is likely to attract some people.
Anyway, the traces and corpses have been dealt with. As long as he leaves here, there is generally no problem.
Chen Ming transformed himself into the appearance of the psychic just now, plugged a device that Chen Ming himself didn't know what it was used for into the control panel of the gate, and then directly used psychic power to open the blocked gate.
Behind the gate is a small room with nothing, only four corners of the room each with a monitoring device activated.
Chen Ming was about to step in, but suddenly stopped again.
He just moved his right foot slightly forward into the room, then released some metal liquid under his feet, and then closed the door again.
Chen Ming's expression relaxed a little.
Because he found that even if he was in a room completely isolated by the silent alloy protective film, these silent alloys could not prevent his psychic power from penetrating and controlling the metal liquid in the room.
It was as if his psychic power did not directly control the things affected by his psychic power through the normal cosmic environment.
But through a more peculiar way.
This was normal.
After all, Chen Ming still didn't understand how his psychic power could transport materials across hundreds or thousands of light years.
His psychic power might also use similar means when controlling, so it would not be blocked by this silent alloy room.
Then Chen Ming was relieved.
He stepped directly into the isolation layer.
The structure of the isolation layer is slightly different from that of the outer space station.
It is a special structure composed of multiple silent alloy compartments, which wrap the internal experimental center irregularly layer by layer.
There are surveillance cameras leading to the interior of each room, and Chen Ming's every move at this time must be under the observation of these surveillance cameras.
But it seems that no one has any reaction.
Even if Chen Ming is now disguised as the psychic, he should not go into the isolation layer at this time.
But the experimental center seems to have no action.
No alarm, no announcement, no response.
And as Chen Ming walked deeper, he could feel a chill from deeper into the space station.
Something is wrong, and something seems to have happened inside.
After realizing this, Chen Ming immediately sped up his actions and kept opening the doors of the isolation layer compartments.
Until he reached the last closed door leading to the experimental center.
Chen Ming's movements finally slowed down.
He had connected a device to the control panel next to the door, but he did not open the door directly at this time.
Instead, he paused for a while, adjusted his state, and then opened the door.
At the moment the door opened.
What came into view were those researchers, or former researchers.
Now their entire bodies were folded backwards from the position of the stomach as if they were broken, and their abdomens were violently torn, revealing the corpses of the stomachs that had been completely deformed.
It was not quite accurate to call them corpses, because they were still moving, their lower limbs were moving under the control of these deformed tails, and the upper half of the body was dragged on the ground as if controlled by the stomach.
In addition, the upper bodies of some researchers who seemed to be seriously infected by the dimension had completely lost their human appearance, and turned into a string of rumens that seemed to be dragged outside.
In the process of moving, pools of unknown liquid were left behind.
The hall of the entire experimental center was full of these "creatures", all of which were these deformed stomach monsters made of stomachs.
Along with these deformed stomach monsters, the flesh and blood tissues that covered the entire environment as before were brought into view.
This weird and distorted feeling made Chen Ming very familiar.
At the same time, his stomach was also a little churning.
This was proof of the dimensional infection erosion, and An Wuping's body had been marked by the dimensional infection.
However, this familiar feeling was immediately suppressed by Chen Ming, but he still felt a little inexplicable nostalgia in his heart.
Of course, Chen Ming quickly threw this feeling out of his head. He didn't want to miss the dimensional infection. It was just because the previous incident was too impressive that he subconsciously recalled it.
Chen Ming took a deep breath and ignored the disgusting smell of stomach acid and those half-digested things.
While the distorted tissue in the hall spread to the compartment where he had just opened the door, he also stepped directly into the hall of the experimental center.
The distorted stomach monsters that were originally at a loss seemed to have found their target instantly.
One by one, they aimed their deformed stomachs in the direction of Chen Ming.
A gaze from deeper inside seemed to be annotated on Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was not afraid at all.
He clenched his fists and continued to step into the experimental center.
In the past, he might have to use all his skills when facing these things.
But now he doesn't need to consider whether there is any or not.
Chen Ming's body leaned forward slightly, and his muscle tissue was fully tense.
As these deformed stomach monsters vomited disgusting liquid in his direction.
Chen Ming disappeared on the spot.
The power given to him by the prosthetic An Wuping made him appear in front of a stomach monster in an instant.
He smashed it in half with one punch.
