Chapter 38 Evolution

Although the whisper disappeared as the contact stopped.

But at this time, Chen Ming looked at the twisted patterns on the stone and always felt that there was still an indescribable weird atmosphere around it.

"Is this psychic power?"

Chen Ming said to himself with some emotion.

It's just a piece of stone, but it can give people extremely heavy pressure when it comes into contact.

If this kind of thing is contacted for a long time, I'm afraid the final outcome will be the same as those animals that fell into madness because of the mental pulse before.

No wonder Xiao Shi was quite interested in the stone just now, but threw the stone away as soon as he got it.

Although this stone can't see any specific use, it is something related to mental ability after all.

Even if it is sold directly, it will definitely sell for a good price.

Although the difficulty of selling it may be a bit high, and it may also attract some people's prying eyes like selling a large number of high-grade metals.

But Chen Ming can also choose to keep it for himself, and maybe he can find some ways of using it in the future that an ordinary person can't even imagine.

Chen Ming found a piece of iron sheet, welded the box containing the spirit stone directly, and threw it in the corner of the engine compartment at the back of the spacecraft.

Although it seems that the most it can affect is those things that come into contact with it.

But just in case, Chen Ming still thinks it is better to stay away from this stone.

It just so happens that he will never go to the engine compartment except for regular refueling, so it can be used as a place to store such dangerous items.

After putting the spirit stone away.

Chen Ming suddenly realized a problem.

Since the mind refers to will, thinking and spirit, and the mental ability will affect these aspects.

For example, the stone just now, its mental ability is to produce whispers, which just interfere with people's thinking and spirit.

Then my ability to repair and transform the spacecraft through the panel consumes a lot of energy every time I use it.

With this association, is it possible that the panel of the spacecraft is my mental ability? Or is it just an external manifestation similar to the mental ability?

If the latter is fine, but if it is the former, then I must pay more attention to the use of my ability.

Because the military seems to have unknown means to investigate those who have psychic abilities, or even those who have the potential for psychic abilities.

If I was discovered, it is very likely that my past would be found out, and the consequences would be disastrous.

It is best not to use this spiritual stone, at least until I am far away from this edge star field.

After warning himself in his heart, Chen Ming returned to the storage cabin and continued to check the other wreckage of the mental pulse generator.

However, after taking out the spiritual stone, there was nothing valuable in the remaining equipment wreckage.

Basically, it was some metal materials, which would be thrown into the furnace together with the mechanical armor.

But overall, it was almost the same.

Two ship weapons, a large amount of high-grade metal materials and some precious metals, three chips that may store valuable data, and the whispering spiritual stone.

Chen Ming couldn't help but smile when he saw the harvest.

Not to mention that his initial goal was just to get rid of the mental pulse generator.

Chen Ming finally spent some time to start the furnace in the work cabin and threw all the materials removed from the mechanical race into it.

After this was done, the spacecraft almost arrived at the mining space station.

The whole picture of the space station can be seen from the porthole of the captain's room.

Xiao Shi was standing on Chen Ming's shoulder at this time, and a pair of smart little eyes looked at this extremely unfamiliar thing to it with curiosity.

It was exactly the same as when Chen Ming took it to space for the first time a few days ago and it saw the starry sky.

Chen Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and touched Xiao Shi's head.

Then he controlled the spacecraft and flew towards the space station dock.

Just like the last time Chen Ming came to the space station, as long as the spacecraft approached, a large group of scary-looking insects drilled out from some corner of the space station and gathered in the dock.

Chen Ming had seen it so many times that he didn't feel anything, but Xiao Shi was scared by these sudden insects.

Without noticing, it rolled down Chen Ming's shoulder and fell to the ground.

When Xiao Shi climbed up again, he found that these bugs could not threaten him at all, and then he became angry again.

Maybe it was the animal instinct that made Xiao Shi subconsciously avoid this ferocious creature, or it might be that Xiao Shi was frightened by these densely packed bugs.

Regardless of the reason, Chen Ming's smile became more obvious.

Xiao Shi could bring him a lot of fun in many cases.

However, Chen Ming did not forget the main business. He quickly adjusted his state and focused his attention that was a little scattered due to fatigue.

He connected his consciousness to the weapon system of the spacecraft and aimed at the bugs crowded at the edge of the dock.

At this time, Chen Ming suddenly found that the bugs in front of him seemed to be fatter than the last time he came.

No, it seems that they are not fatter.

Chen Ming immediately found out the video footage taken by the spacecraft when he came to the space station last time.

After comparing them, he soon found out where the problem was.

Just as Chen Ming judged just now, these bugs are not fat, but their shells have become thicker.

Although there is no big change in the overall appearance, the difference can still be seen if you look closely.

And just as Chen Ming was looking through the video footage, there were some bugs of the kind he had never seen approaching from the distance of the space station.

Chen Ming has only seen two different kinds of bugs so far.

The other is the larvae that have just hatched from the eggs. They look like alien cubs and can only cause damage through bites with their mouthparts. The actual combat effectiveness is very low.

When Chen Ming was looking for food in the cold storage, he was chased by a group of larvae.

The other type is the adult worm after the larva grows up. This is what Chen Ming saw after he woke up from the space station freezer. It was the worm that killed the doctor.

Later, Chen Ming saw it again in the cold storage of the spacecraft. Through the panel of the cabin, he learned that its name was [Thorn Zerg Broadstrider].

The appearance is very similar to the Zerg that often appears in various science fiction movies, with six sharp hind legs and a pair of huge and sharp front claws like sickles.

There are many spikes and a very solid shell on the body, as well as a terrifying-looking mouthparts.

And now Chen Ming saw this new Zerg.

Although the overall appearance is similar to the Broadstrider, there is a bulging translucent vesicle on each side of its head, and it seems to store some liquid inside.

The neck of this worm is also different from that of ordinary Broadstriders. Not only is there no protection from the shell, but it even exposes some disgusting internal tissues.

Chen Ming can also see its tight and developed muscles between these tissues.

The feeling these worms give Chen Ming.

It was as if they had suddenly evolved during the time he was away.

Not only did they evolve a thicker shell that could block bullets, but they also evolved the ability to attack from a distance.
