"Welcome to the underground city base. I am Wan Li, the person in charge of the weapons research laboratory here."
After the middle-aged man asked Lianyi and the others to sit down, he introduced himself.
This Wan Li looks like an elite at first glance. He is not bald and has a very elegant temperament. He is the kind of person who is easy to impress others when they meet for the first time.
"Hello!"
Carter nodded and said hello.
"Our people said that some of you have space powers, and you have also accepted the S-level mission issued by the base."
Wan Li said with a smile.
"We agreed verbally, but you seem to be still selecting the teams to complete the mission."
Carter said coldly.
“Because this mission is very important, that’s why we are so cautious. I hope you can understand.”
"Can you tell me the specific content of the mission?"
William asked directly.
"Of course."
Wan Li nodded and opened the wall behind him. There was a large display screen hidden behind the wall.
“This mission is to bring back the weapons developed by the institute in another city, and by the way, bring back all the surviving scientific researchers there.”
When Wan Li said this, an overhead view of the city appeared on the screen.
“This is Q City before the fall. There is a branch of our research institute here, which focuses on the development of sonic weapons. When the Zerg invaded, a sonic weapon had been developed.
After the Zerg invasion, the branch completely lost contact with us, but five days ago, we received a distress message from the branch through a special channel. ”
Display. The screen kept zooming in, and finally stopped above a building on the ground, showing that this was the location of their branch.
“How to be sure that the person asking for help is yours?”
Carter asked directly.
"The channel where the other party sends the distress signal is a special channel, and the distress message is encrypted and only we can decipher it."
Wan Li explained.
“Please continue!”
“The content of their request for help is that the sonic weapon they developed can effectively interfere with the Zerg and cut off the connection between their different populations. It is a powerful auxiliary weapon, and they relied on this weapon to save their lives
However, it has been three months since the Zerg invasion. The institute's food reserves have been exhausted. The team they organized cannot afford to leave Q City, so they asked us for help.
We sent three teams to pick them up, but all three teams were wiped out, and only one team sent back a blurry video. "
After Wan Li finished speaking, he clicked on the screen again. A shaking picture appeared on the screen, and it was horizontal. The background was the white wall of the institute, but at this time the white wall turned into It was black because it was covered with black bugs.
When Lianyi saw this picture, she realized the problem.
The bugs in the picture were actually merging. , two black bugs started to fuse from the head. Soon the two four-legged bugs turned into six-legged bugs, and the size also doubled. However, the other party did not stop merging, and another one flew over. The black bug merged a second time, and after this fusion, it became an eight-legged bug with a body size close to that of a human being.
After being merged three times, the insect also had three pairs of wings. While flapping, only an afterimage was left. The final image was of the opponent's mouthparts inserting into the body of the tasker, and the image stopped accordingly.
“You have also seen that this kind of bug is the most difficult-looking Zerg found so far. I named it the Black Fusion Bug. They can fuse multiple times. After fusion, their speed, The power and destructive power have increased exponentially.
And this kind of black molten insect is very sensitive to food, that is, we humans. Even under the research location of Q City, these black molten insects are still discovered.
I am very sure that these bugs entered the institute along the ventilation ducts while being separated. According to the last pictures and news sent back, the three rescue teams were wiped out, but the scientific research of the institute The personnel survived with the help of sonic weapons, but they can't last long due to food problems."
"What is the weakness of this bug?"
Ripple suddenly asked. "Wings! Losing their wings will kill their speed advantage. They can then be eliminated with hot or cold weapons, but..."
"But their speed after combining is too fast. , it’s difficult to capture their trajectories.”
Lipple added.
“Yes.”
"Isn't that an endless cycle? If we go there, we are going to die?"
William said unhappily.
“This is also the key point I want to say. That sonic weapon can force the combined black melt worm to disintegrate and return to the state of the zero-level black melt worm. The zero-level black melt worm only has one pair of wings. With your abilities, you can kill them."
Wan Li said immediately.
"Chief Wan, what you are talking about is still an endless loop. If we enter the underground research institute, we will definitely encounter the black molten bugs. Do you think those bugs will wait for us to get the sonic weapon before they merge together? Is it possible that we will become their food before we find any survivors or weapons?”
Carter also felt that the risk factor was too high.
"We can only take a gamble. Those black molten worms generally don't stay in the same place for too long. They should have left the institute."
Wan Li explained.
"What if we didn't leave? Aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?"
"But don't you have space powers? You can use space to escape in times of crisis."
>
"Chief Wan, have you read too many novels? The kind of space you mentioned can only be found in cultivation novels. Our space can only hold things, but no one can enter."
Lianyi smiled. said.
"No, it's not about letting people in. I have a newly developed space shield here that can capture space fluctuations and expand them to cover people."
Wanli immediately said.
"Lianyi, don't be fooled! He wants to take your space!"
Shijiu's voice echoed urgently in Ripple's mind.
"What do you mean?"
"Your space is bound to your soul. He wants to borrow the space to completely escape from that computer."
Shi Jiu was a little anxious. said.
“I know!”
"I'm going to cut off the connection between us right away. The other party is trying to determine my location through you, so be careful!"
After Shi Jiu finished speaking, he completely lost his voice.
The way Lianyi looked at Wanli changed at this time. It turned out that the big boss behind the scenes couldn't kill her after seeing the game levels, and found that she had her own space and weapons and equipment, so now she was planning to use her to escape from the virtual game.
Hong Lianyi did not encounter such a thing in her previous life, but her original body did not have such ability.
Lianyi smiled and then said:
"Chief Wan is so thoughtful. With this weapon, our chances of winning are much greater."
"Yes, we don't want too many casualties. This mission involves Our research institute is fully prepared to fight against the invading Zerg. I wonder if you are willing to take on this mission?”
“We will take it”
“When will we set off?”
"Tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
