Walk alone in the abyss

Yang Ming fell asleep until it was dark.

After the death of the mother worm, he was extremely tired, and in the process of falling asleep, some memory fragments of the worm flashed from time to time.

It was as if he had become the killed female worm.

I don't know whether to say that this female worm is smart or stupid, and it stays in the ground, Yang Ming has nothing to do with it, and insists on recklessly rushing into space, giving Yang Ming the convenience to get close to it.

——Even if it can communicate with humans, it doesn't trust humans.

When Yang Ming opened his eyes, it was already sixteen galaxy hours later.

Feinan is in an unexplored uninhabited star field, docked on the rocky planet closest to the star in the current solar system, slowly replenishing its energy.

Yang Ming took a shower, and when he came out of the bathroom, there was already a robot waiting quietly holding dry and comfortable home clothes.

"Boss, you're finally up," Lil's voice came from outside the door.

This is simply superfluous.

She is obviously also controlling this robot.

Yang Ming put on his clothes unhurriedly: "Report the information."

"Alright boss," Lu cleared his throat, and reported Yang Ming's priorities one by one.

First of all, it is naturally the trace of the Valkyrie.

Regarding the Valkyrie side, there is good and bad news.

The bad news is that the small mineral exploration company that Law bought in the Sherman Empire bought several mining ships to search for the whereabouts of the Valkyrie, but they haven't found the slightest trace of the Valkyrie in a weakened state.

If you want to find an abandoned cave on a rocky planet, even with a powerful shipboard computer and planet scanning system, it is difficult to achieve.

The good news is...

"We really discovered a rare rich mine! Boss, you seem to be blessed with a fortune card! You have paid back your money directly! As long as we find two more rich mines, we can make a lot of money!"

Yang Ming could only shake his head.

This law has now begun to secretly control a medium-sized country, and has such a deep obsession with money.

He walked in the corridor of Feinan with his hands behind his back, and outside the window was the hot red dwarf star and the 'smooth' landform of this rocky planet.

Law continued to report news from all sides.

There was no news about the riots on Ram Star, and the New Federation demonstrated their strong control over domestic public opinion.

The equipment that Yang Ming placed on the planet Ram sent back some news one after another.

Within a few hours after the incident broke out, hundreds of transport ships took off and landed on Ram, Professor Pat and the others seemed to have shifted their base.

"The new federation still has a spare hatching base?"

"Boss, that female worm was induced to produce many queen worm eggs. It is not difficult for them to make a few backup bases."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Then the information we obtained was in vain?"

"It's not in vain, it's just that the effect is not that good," Lil said with a smile, "I have already integrated the clips and clips of the video after the Zerg rushed out of the Ram star into our intelligence package, and if it is released to the public now, it will also be for the new The federation forms public opinion pressure."

Yang Ming said: "We're not trying to put pressure on him, but sending them directly to Sherman's guns."

"The explosion of the mother bug and the escape from Planet Ram have affected our plan to a certain extent, boss."

"All right," Yang Ming clicked his tongue, "Continue to operate your mining company, and expand the scale if you make money. As long as insect eggs are found in the territory of the Sherman Empire, our information will be of maximum value. "

"Then are you going to announce it now?" Li asked softly.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "The fist can only really hurt them if it gathers strength first...how is Miss Hera's injury?"

"There is no serious problem, it's just that the penetrating injury and excessive blood loss have activated her stem cells."

"That's good," Yang Ming said, "This is also part of the information, just keep her dormant, I don't want her to know the existence of Feinan."

"I understand boss."

After thinking about it, Lu decided to tell Yang Ming:

"You have unlocked a new achievement!"

Yang Ming walked to the combat training cabin, looked at 026 who was dodging left and right in the weightlessness cabin, and his mood immediately recovered a lot.

This little girl is working hard.

Then there is no need to raise her wages to increase her enthusiasm for the time being.

"What achievement?"

"Dangdang!" Lu stretched out his hands up and down, pretending to be flower balls shaking quickly, and there was an arrest warrant immediately in front of Yang Ming.

His disguised face appeared on the wanted poster.

Alex, his pseudonym, became a wanted criminal in the New Federation on charges of espionage and treason.

Li smiled and said: "You should be the only one, all three identities are wanted by the new federation! This is really cool!"

Yang Ming made an annoyed "cut", turned his head and went to the bridge.

"I started doing physical examinations. I want to figure out what's going on in my body."

"Yes, boss! I'll change and come right away!"

change clothes? What clothes to change.

What good is a virtual image in exchange for? Modeling, copying, and pasting, isn't that solved?

Yang Ming lay beside the instrument and waited for a few minutes, when Lu's avatar reappeared, and she changed into an unserious nurse's attire.

——A serious nurse outfit will definitely not be equipped with white stockings with a pink bow.

"Inject the gene stabilization solution first, I don't want to become a sarcoma monster."

Yang Ming stretched out his arm, and a robot moved forward beside him.

...

After various physical tests, Yang Ming was surprised to find:

His body structure has undergone some changes!

Yang Ming's body has always been the 'basic template' of human beings, but there are some slight abnormalities in the cells of the whole body.

After hunting a queen who had just evolved to the third level this time, these tiny abnormalities began to be magnified.

A chain structure appeared in some of Yang Ming's muscle fibers, which further improved his strength and ability to resist blows. When his back muscles contracted at the same time, the 'angel wings' structure faintly appeared.

The ultimate pulling strength has increased by 20%, the grip strength has increased by 10%, and the running speed of three times the gravity without load has increased by 15%.

Now when he passes through the scanning equipment, the possibility of exposure is actually increased.

When carrying out espionage activities going deep behind enemy lines in the future, we must find ways to increase camouflage.

But the biggest improvement is his spiritual strength.

[Spiritual power] These four words are not necessarily accurate. This thing is like the power of thought in fantasy stories, and Yang Ming and Lu can't find out the principle of its formation.

It was very difficult for Yang Ming to do it before, letting his body levitate like a Valkyrie.

But now, he can easily defy standard gravity without any fatigue.

The red energy film around the body has become denser, and it can already directly resist the continuous shooting of ordinary laser pistols!

"How is this improvement achieved?"

Yang Ming turned his head and asked, but neither Li nor 026 could give an answer.

They kept watching the battle video, which was the final fight between Yang Ming and the Queen.

The queen of the third stage has undergone obvious changes in form.

This female worm has just completed evolution, and the evolution is not complete yet. The upper body has an obvious human shape. The mouthparts that were originally on the head moved down and landed on the abdomen, and a fuzzy worm face appeared on the head.

Kind of like the head of a cockroach.

Sixteen tentacles appeared on the back of its head.

It moves very slowly, and its combat power is not considered tyrannical, that is, those tentacles are more difficult to entangle.

The process for Yang Ming to get it done was actually very short.

The lightsaber cut off several of its tentacles, and Yang Ming threw himself directly in front of her, dug open the armor on its abdomen, poured concussion grenades in one after another, cut off the tentacles that penetrated Hera's shoulder blades, and knocked Hera away. Pull and jump backwards.

In the violent explosion, the queen's lower body quickly became tattered, and she lost her ability to fight.

Yang Ming didn't hesitate too much, cut off the Queen's nerve center three times, five cuts two times, carried Hera into the bridge rescue cabin, barely escaped back to the Feinan before the arrival of the new Federation fleet.

Summary of this fight...

When the swarm is still there, the female is the strongest.

The swarm has been cut down, and the female worm is just another dish.

"I don't think the Zerg is scary," 026 whispered.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, this Zerg is a special situation, it can be regarded as a benefit for me."

Law nodded slightly and explained:

"This queen mother has been tortured by the New Federation for too long, and has never developed a swarm.

"Generally speaking, the combat insects that the third-order female insects can control are at least tens of millions, and there will be long-range cannon insects that can use radiation energy.

"However, the boss has a natural restraint on the swarm, the boss burst out with mental energy, and after the red shock wave, the connection between the swarm was directly broken.

"After the bugs got out of the control of the mother bug, they also showed obvious fear of fighting and fear of fighting."

026 hurriedly nodded beside him.

In fact, she just wanted to praise the boss.

Yang Ming stared at the screen and fell into deep thought.

He got such a big improvement after killing a third-order female worm and nearly a hundred second-order adults.

What about killing more advanced female worms and slaughtering more adult worms?

Couldn't the gap in strength between him and the Valkyrie be slowly made up?

Yang Ming's eyes revealed more and more light.

This way is absolutely feasible!

The new federation planted mines for the Sherman Empire. Under the "normal scenario", these mines would be detonated one by one after six years.

Then how about detonating these hidden mines in advance?

It doesn't take much, just detonate three to four hidden mines, let the swarms there riot in advance, and kill these undiscovered worms before the Sherman Empire finds out...

Yang Ming called out the 'self-made attribute board' that he hadn't touched for a long time, and looked at the row on it that had just updated data, and his eyes lit up.

He said that the Sherman Empire is his geomantic treasure.

Isn't this kind of value much more precious than engaging in intelligence and causing the two great powers to fight each other?

The way to detonate the hidden mine is very simple - after Yang Ming discovers the insect nest, he goes for a walk there, and the insects will inevitably develop crazily.

Although he still doesn't understand the principle behind this, it is obvious that the ancient gods are the hunters, and the space zerg are the prey.

As long as he kills insects, he can become stronger!

"Uh," Yang Ming became inexplicably worried again.

If the eldest sister Posuo also encountered the Zerg, wouldn't she also become stronger?

Yang Ming suddenly felt restless.

If the Valkyrie is not removed, Yang Ming can hardly sleep or eat.

Law asked: "Boss, what should we do with Miss Hera? Bring her back to Luofeng Empire?"

"First use the name of Miss Molly's Group to build a fully enclosed transport ship," Yang Ming said, "Let this transport ship berth in the synchronous orbit of Ilando and give her a better living environment."

"Boss," Lu reminded, "we actually need to find out what she is thinking now."

Yang Ming wondered, "What else can I think? Isn't she trying to stop the evil plan of the New Federation?"

Law said: "If we send information to the Sherman Empire, she may not agree."

Yang Ming couldn't help thinking.

Law continued to analyze:

"Miss Hera knows too much now, she was sober then.

"Although she is controlled by the worm, her spirit is active, and the female worm seems unable to modify and read her memory.

"That is to say, she saw the process of the white ghost slaughtering the Zerg, and if she is allowed to leave, she will become a huge hidden danger.

"We have only two options now, either kill her or turn her into one of our own."

Yang Ming rubbed the center of his brows: "Where is the memory erase?"

Law said: "She has already undergone an amnestic operation. The technology we use is different from the new federal technology. Even if she can get off the operating table, there is a high probability that she will become an idiot."

026 asked in a low voice: "Shall we have a good talk with her?"

"Go home and rest for a while, and temporarily imprison Hera. I want her to continue studying bugs and continue to play a role."

Yang Ming wiped his face and moved his neck:

"The top priority right now is to produce enhanced injections, which might also be useful against bugs.

"Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted towards her. Her thinking is obviously different from ours."

"Okay boss, I'm going to arrange the production line in Dark Star right now."

Yang Ming got up and walked towards the cosmetic instrument: "026, come and help me with it. I have to save these dressings, and I may need to use Alex's identity later."

"coming!"

026 trotted to follow immediately.

The spine on the back shone with a faint light.

...

Seven galactic days later.

In the synchronous orbit of Ilando, a transport ship hides behind the satellite network and keeps flying around the planet smoothly.

In the vertical nutrition warehouse parked in the corner, several indicator lights were constantly flashing, and the light green nutrient solution was quickly evacuated. The petite figure wearing only a bathrobe was supported by a mechanical arm, and his lowered head began to shake slightly.

she woke up.

Hera pursed her lips lightly, and the pictures hit her nerves one after another.

The mother worm rioted and the base fell. She was held hostage by an adult worm, and was sent into a transport ship in the chaos. The tentacles of the mother worm pierced her shoulder blade.

When the transport ship burst out of the atmosphere, she almost despaired.

If the Zerg escaped from the sky, they would definitely retaliate wildly against humans. It is unknown how many people would die in this man-made natural disaster.

The most ironic thing is that the source of this natural disaster is her father.

Hera struggled slightly, and the mechanical arm retracted automatically.

Her feet were floating, and she sat directly at the bottom of the nutrition warehouse, and couldn't help but bow her head and retch, her wet hair had a weird smell of nutrition solution.

Behind...the things behind...

Hera couldn't accept it.

The transport ship was forced to jump, and the Zerg began to assimilate the ship.

The assimilation behavior is recorded in relevant data, and it is a life-saving method with a large loss of insect swarms. It is mostly seen in third- and second-order insect swarms, and "battleship insects" have appeared in higher-order insect swarms.

At this moment, the figure in the white exoskeleton armor suddenly appeared.

He just rushed into the swarm.

The Zerg is panicking, the Queen is panicking.

After a quick killing, Hera got rid of the queen's control and fell into a coma.

Now is the moment when she just woke up.

That figure...is it really human?

Hera's fingers were trembling slightly.

"woke up?"

Ahead, in the cabin space arranged like a living room, came a slightly familiar greeting.

A man was facing her sideways, with his legs crossed, holding a paper book, reading it carefully.

The book was The Emperor's Biography, which Hera had read before.

The man said softly: "I suggest you take a shower, this robot butler can help you answer some of your doubts."

"Alex?" Hera asked softly.

Although the side profile doesn't look like it, and the voice is only similar, but her intuition tells her...

Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at Hera, the light in the living room gradually became brighter.

"How did you recognize me at a glance?" Yang Ming wondered, "I have clearly removed the facial disguise."

Hera opened her mouth and suddenly thought of the backpack, staring and shouting:

"You are that warrior!"

Yang Ming: ...

It's not a good thing that partners are too smart.

At least not very easy to subdue.
