Gamers Are Fierce

Latest website: There is definitely a conspiracy behind this!

The ant king suppressed his breathing, his mind was racing, and he was thinking desperately.

There are two possibilities for those bugs to transform into their own ants.

First, the insect tide is controlled by a certain entity and wants to frame and harm itself.

The possibility of this hypothesis is possible, but it is very, very low - the ant king cannot imagine how terrifying the brain's computing power is to control such a large-scale insect tide.

Secondly, even if there is some independent consciousness controlling the insect tide behind the scenes,

There is absolutely no need to waste energy to trap yourself who is running out of ammunition and food and is in a desperate situation.

Second, the insect swarms are just out-of-control experimental organisms native to the lost world. They devoured the ant units they sent out before and absorbed the genes of the ants, so they evolved into ants.

This hypothesis is slightly more likely, but there are loopholes - why don't the swarms continue to attack?

Is it possible that the insect swarm that absorbed the ant's genes inherited some of the former's traits and still recognized itself as its former creator?

The cold touch of the blade on his neck brought the Ant King back to reality from his thoughts.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the solemn-looking Mahakala and Hypochondriac from the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a clanging sound coming from the tunnel far away.

An armed armored vehicle with four run-flat tires came speeding from a distance, its two car lights illuminating the tunnel as bright as day.

Agares from Gen-Sys Biotechnology was driving the vehicle, and sitting in the passenger seat was Abel from Prometheus - the latter's chest was completely sunken, and you could see blood spurting out from the wounds in his ribs. .

As for the bruised young man standing at the front of the car...

David? !

The Ant King's heart skipped a beat. European Heavy Industries Group had formed an alliance with the FBI's Special Incident Division, as well as forces such as Prometheus and Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company.

Make sure that if you encounter them in the Lost World stage, you will give priority to cooperation, deal with other forces, and then share the benefits together.

The Ant King could not imagine what kind of situation would make the combination of David, Agares and Abel so embarrassed that they would even be forced to flee for their lives.

You three, if you don't want to die, get in the car!

David stood at the front of the car holding the judgment spear in his hand, turned his face and roared at the Ant King and others, and continued to look at the dark tunnel in the direction of the rear of the car.

His expression was extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of...fear between his eyebrows.

The armored vehicle came speeding towards him. Dakokutian glanced at the Ant King, turned around and ran a few steps faster. As the vehicle passed by, he grabbed the handle on the side of the armored vehicle with his palm and jumped onto the vehicle.

...

Hypochondriac delusion squinted the eyes, the irises were distorted and gradually turned into obscure patterns,

The colors in his vision quickly dimmed, but correspondingly, everything became extremely clear.

She saw something in the darkness in the distance—

It was a huge bear-like creature with a broad forehead, a slightly short face, and its limbs were slender compared to its body, but they were also a circle or two thicker than an average person's thighs.

The black bear named [Short Face] stepped on a floating metal plate and flew towards this side.

Its head was drooped, and the black hair on its body was flying wildly.

Wherever they passed, sand, gravel and metal fragments were gently bounced and floated due to the change in gravity of the surrounding environment.

It wasn't until the short side left fifty meters away that it fell to the ground again.

A long depression mark is formed on the surface of the tunnel.

It's like a trail cloud dragged by an airplane high in the sky.

Without any hesitation, the hypochondriacal delusion directly let go of the ant king,

He took out a yellow and green skateboard from the backpack, stepped on it, activated the sprint function of the skateboard, and quickly kept up with the armored vehicle of David and others at a speed that was not inferior to that of a sports car.

As for the ant king, after seeing them in such a mess, he also summoned winged ants the size of a car, stepped on the backs of the latter, and chased after them.

After seeing everyone following him, Agares stepped on the accelerator and turned into a narrow road.

David stood on the roof of the car, took a deep breath, gathered his remaining spiritual power, used his skills, and threw the spear of judgment that glowed with golden light and hit the dome of the space behind.

The dome shattered and collapsed, throwing down a large amount of rubble and burying the narrow road.

David grasped the palm of his hand and retracted the spear of judgment in the distance. He staggered and almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, Daikokutian next to him helped him so that he wouldn't fall off the car.

The armored vehicle turned off its lights, slowly slowed down, and its roaring engine also weakened its sound, moving silently through the dark environment.

You are...

Mahakala hesitated for a moment and said softly: Meet Michael?

No, but it's not much better.

David slowly sat down on the roof of the car. He looked at the blocked intersection behind him and saw that there was no movement for the time being. He turned his head and said to Mahakala and the hypochondriac delusion and the Ant King who were following him: The elevator leading to the lower space and the Passage, do you know where it is?

Know.

The Ant King reported several directions and said in a deep voice: The four elevators and three passages we explored are all under the control of the insect swarm, but there are still two that have not been discovered by the insect swarm for the time being, but they may be destroyed by the insect swarm. Take some detours.”

Insect Swarm?

David frowned. They had previously clashed with Short Face and Escape. They killed Chameleon Escape and saw the opponent's body disappear with his own eyes, confirming that the opponent was indeed an alien player.

But Cain was also caught in the short side of the rage, torn in half, and dropped out of the game, unsure if he would survive.

The three survivors took the elevator all the way down, avoiding the short-faced pursuit and never saw the insect swarm.

never mind.

David shook his head and said quickly: You absolutely cannot sustain the current situation alone.

If you don't have the fighting ability, it's better to just quit the game and save your life.

If you still have fighting strength, come down with us.

Go down?

Mahakala asked subconsciously: Where to go?

Go gather everyone who is still alive.

Level 41, above the Hive City.

At twelve o'clock, thirty meters away, there is a group of scout bugs flying by. Wait for them to pass.

The micro device directly implanted in Pei Youzhen's cochlea stabs the auditory cells, generates nerve impulses, and simulates sound signals transmitted to the brain.

At this moment, she and her three companions, Qin and Eva, were hanging under the dome above the insect nest city, wearing special gloves that could absorb metal.

They are all sprinkled with special dust called [Fog of Deception], which can bend the surrounding light and achieve an invisibility effect.

A large amount of special grease is also applied to the surface of the clothes and body, which can isolate odors and reduce the sound made when the limbs come into contact with the outside world.

Qing Xingdeng, Bai Haozheng, and Qi Mianxuantian were divided into two groups, not far from the left and right sides of the Wind Chasers.

The body is also coated in the fog of deceit and concealment grease.

Several of them had discussed before and decided to gather together to rescue the trapped Ju Tianzi, Tsuchimikado Xiaoman and others.

The clever giant is responsible for making noise and attracting the attention of the insect nest when they sneak in.

Nina is responsible for hiding on the 42nd floor, observing the movements of the insect nest, providing command to everyone, and ensuring that the infiltration plan will not fail.

...Okay, the scout bug has passed, Group B can move on.

Nina's voice sounded in his mind. Pei Youzhen and his two companions kept turning on and off the magnetic gloves and crawled forward silently.

Those captured players are indeed still alive, and the paper of life, which is closely related to the vital signs of the players in the Special Bureau, has not withered and annihilated, proving that Ju Tiantian is not dead yet, or has escaped from the lost world.

The same is true for similar props on Tsuchimikado Komitsu and others.

But just because you didn't die doesn't mean you didn't encounter misfortune.

Especially when faced with the Zerg who obviously have superb biological modification technology, it is better to die directly if they are alive...

The three groups of players crawled forward silently.

It has to be said that when looking down from a high place, the entire insect nest city looks even bigger and weirder.

The man-made city originally made of reinforced concrete is now covered with a layer of bluish-purple mushrooms that resemble moss and lichen.

These fungus-like objects cover roads, bridges, and even high-rise rooftops and walls. They are constantly squirming at a slight pace and twisting into various indescribable patterns, as if they have a life of their own.

On the top floors of some tall buildings, there are winding chimneys.

The surface of the chimney named [Spore Smoke Tower] is covered with holes, similar to dead corals (some of them look like tentacles). Every ten seconds, spores of different colors will be emitted.

The spores will fly in the wind. If they land in a suitable area, they will absorb nutrients and grow rapidly to form a mushroom-like substance, which is a carpet.

Creeps can collect and produce biomass, produce fruits, and provide raw materials for insect nests.

Hive Soldier Insects usually require worker insects to inject energy substances extracted from the digestive tank into their bodies to provide energy for their bodies.

However, if necessary, the insect nest soldiers can also directly eat the fruits produced by the fungus blanket, or even directly eat the fungus blanket to maintain life.

In addition, the carpet can also modify the surrounding soil, water, and air composition, making the environment more suitable for the growth of insect nest living units and insect nest buildings.

At the same time, the fungus carpet also has the ability to hunt. If some animals, such as deer, cows, horses, and rabbits, accidentally step into the fungus carpet area, they must leave in time.

Otherwise, the limbs will be grabbed by the tentacles of the bacteria blanket, and the corrosive solution secreted by the bacteria blanket will be dissolved and digested into nutrients...

The few players who came to the rescue did not know the specific situation of the spore smoke tower and the carpet, but they could guess with their toes that nothing good would happen if they came into contact with the smoke.

They strictly followed Nina's instructions, carefully bypassing the envelope of the spore smoke tower, and gradually approached the location that Qing Xingden said shows the life characteristics of Tsuchimikado Xiaoman - a skyscraper.

Strange, why are these bugs running around?

Pei Youzhen hung on the dome above the skyscraper, overlooking the scene below, and an ominous omen surged in his heart.

A large number of worker insects emerged from the ground cave worms at the outermost edge of the insect nest.

They use their sharp teeth and chelicerae to cut the fungus carpet, roll it up like artificial turf, and shrink it toward the city.

The insect nest factories integrated with the high-rise buildings in the city were also peeled off in all directions, cut and dismantled by the worker insects, and placed on the backs of ground-burrowing sandworms.

The soldiers of all levels who originally stayed in the insect nest city and maintained a stagnant and low energy consumption state left their original positions one after another, branched off, marched forward along the tunnel, and soon disappeared around the corner in the distance.

The entire insect hive city became active.

Is this going to... move?

Doubts emerged in their hearts. The players who used [Fog of Deception] looked at each other, made gestures, and finally decided to launch a surprise attack.

The main force of the insect nest has been divided into half, and now is the best opportunity.

As Bai Haozheng retracted his finger, an explosion sounded outside the insect nest city.

The wall on the side of the wilderness collapsed. A wooden snake-shaped puppet that resembled a large rock snake suddenly emerged from the crack. Its giant body, more than 40 meters long, plowed through the wilderness like a steamroller.

It blew away sand and dust and countless worker insects.

Soldiers and insects at all levels reacted quickly, and shells rained down on the wooden snake-shaped puppet controlled by Juzi.

The ballistas and machine guns mounted on the snake-shaped puppet's back also fired.

The snake's body twisted back and forth, throwing away the soldiers and insects that climbed up.

For a time, the wasteland was filled with flying sand and rocks, filled with smoke and dust, and the sound of artillery fire and beast roars shook the sky.

It's now.

The eight players hanging on the dome let go of their hands and fell downwards.

Bai Hao was pulling out the long sword of light, Hagoromo was pulling out the long sword, Master Umibo smashed the mace, and the green lantern summoned the blue will-o'-the-wisp...

Players acted to attack, ending the effect of [Fog of Deception] prematurely.

The soldiers and insects at all levels who felt the energy fluctuations looked towards the sky. Some flying units vibrated their wings and rushed over desperately.

Ground units also use ranged weapons to target exposed players and fire ammunition.

But it's still a little slow,

Various skills hit the tall building, tearing apart the germ carpet covering the outside of the tall building, revealing a huge gap.

The players rushed into the gap. Bai Haozheng broke through the flesh and blood curtain blocking the front with a sword. Lord Umibo waved his mace and smashed the low-level workers that rushed towards them.

Ten o'clock!

Holding the green lantern in his hand, which was a positioning instrument that could reveal Tsuchimikado Xiaoman's position, he took the lead and rushed to the front, constantly throwing blue flames from his hand to burn out the biological weapons blocking the way.

The group of people moved quickly through the intricate insect nest. The deeper they went, the more difficult they became.

The insect swarms in front are getting denser and denser, and their quality is getting higher and higher. They have changed from the servant level and beast level at the beginning to the guard level and even the guard level.

The evolution speed of the insect nest is terrifying. After entering the lost world, it first absorbs the bones of the indigenous residents in the abandoned dormant cabin and absorbs their genes.

Then absorb the shadow dragon bloodline from Long Xiangbao's transformed body, and the demonized bloodline from Tsuchimikado Xiaoman and others,

And the demonized ants under the Ant King.

Although these genes will not be perfectly utilized by the insect nest and cannot be completely reproduced for a while,

But it can also provide evolutionary ideas for the insect nest.

Let the cerebrates learn from each other's strengths and try various specialized evolutions on the eggs produced by the hatching insect nests.

Because of this, the Guard-class soldier bugs that Bai Haozheng and others faced became more difficult to deal with - the back carapace of some soldier bugs was fused with a large amount of lost world metal materials, which could withstand the bombardment of machine guns head-on.

It also has a pretty good defensive effect against energy impacts.

Whether it's Bai Haozheng's light sword or Qing Xing Deng's will-o'-the-wisp, the damage done to the carapace will be reduced.

Seeing that everyone's advancement slowed down again and again, there was a faint tendency to be separated, divided, and fighting on their own.

Bai Haozheng gritted his teeth and took out a perfect bomb prop in the shape of a skull-headed blue crawler called [Withering Heart Attack]...

Insect nest, deep inside.

Ju Tiantian, who was still fixed in the mummy's coffin-like container, blinked.

In front of him is a plaster blackboard.

Ten insect nest units that looked like seven-star ladybugs were lying on the blackboard, stinging with their tails and writing dense human words on the blackboard.

These words come from Ju Tianzi's brain - ten conduits with buried nerve fibers start from Ju Tianzi's head and connect to the back of the seven-star ladybug.

What Ju Tiantian thinks in his mind will be converted into nerve signals and transmitted to the seven-star ladybug through pipelines.

Have the latter write quickly on the drywall.

Since senior personnel from the Special Affairs Bureau and the Abnormal Society have undergone brain protection, some vital organizational secrets will not be leaked.

Ju Tianzi slowly recalled the lowest level of Qi training methods circulated in the Abnormal Society. He tried his best to empty his mind and only used his vague subconscious mind to think about how to escape from here.

Other players who were captured together, such as Long Xiang and Leopard Transformation, have been moved to other rooms in the insect nest and are probably undergoing the same interrogation.

These bugs are... really weird.

Some of their biological modification technologies, such as spore smoke towers and fungus blankets, are simply biological disasters.

However, in terms of retrieving memories, it still relies on nerve fiber conduction, rather than directly absorbing brain plasma and retrieving memories;

The vast majority of workers and soldiers in the insect nest have no self-awareness, reason or fear.

But the most senior hive lord among them has the concept of self, and can even compromise and negotiate, and learn human language in order to maximize interests...

Boom——

A dull and long sound sounded from outside the room

Hive Lord Cerberus, who was sitting on a chair reading interrogation materials, stood up.

Ju Tiantian's heart skipped a beat and asked, What's wrong?

\u0026quot;Your companion,\u0026quot;

Cerberus said in a low voice: I'm here to save you.

Ju Tianzi's expression changed slightly, and the faces of Bai Haozheng and others suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt a little regretful.

With his knowledge, he naturally knew how terrifying the power contained in the body of the hive lord in front of him.

Bai Haozheng and others have never met the Hive Lord before. If they use the experience of destroying the guard-level soldier bugs to deal with Cerberus... they may encounter misfortune.

We agreed,

Ju Tiantian said urgently in a deep voice: As long as I tell you the information, you will let us go.

Cerberus glanced at him indifferently and said hoarsely: I'm letting 'you' leave.

However, these people were not within the scope agreed at that time.

After saying that, the Hive Lord took steps and walked towards the main entrance of the room.

Boom!

The sound came again, and the whole room shook.

Ju Tiantian took a deep breath and activated the god's mark engraved under the skin on the back of his head.

Xuan Ming's divine power leaked out, and the mummy coffin that bound Ju Tianzhen instantly froze into ice.

The cold air spreads to the surroundings with visible fluctuations,

Everywhere he passed, the ground, walls, and ceiling were covered in ice, and the temperature in the large room dropped sharply.

The familiar powerful feeling returns to itself,

Ju Tiantian tilted his mouth,

He suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air mixed with ice crystals towards Cerberus.

Cerberus's body surged with psychic energy waves, and he used the first-level power of the mind creation system to create a rectangular astral object and shot it forward.

Taking advantage of the gap where the astral object temporarily blocked the cold air, his body retreated violently, retreating beyond the killing range of the cold air.

Strangely, the Hive Lord did not make any further attacks, but stood there, silently staring at Ju Tiantian.

Ju Tiantian felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, but he had an arrow on the string and had to shoot.

He used his divine power to stir up cold wind around him, tearing apart the mummy's coffin and the conduit connected to the top of the coffin, and broke free from the restraints.

Then, he fell to the ground.

The word throw is extremely accurate.

Ju Tianzi, who was lying on his back, looked back at his body. What he saw was not the trunk and limbs, but a bunch of mutated, twisted and intricate living organs.

Heart, respiratory tract, lungs, blood vessels...

These organs produced by the insect nest were originally fixed inside the mummy's coffin, absorbing nutrients through the tubes and maintaining the life of the innate being.

At this moment, as Ju Tianzi broke free from the mummy coffin, all the slimy and greasy internal organs fell down and hit the frozen floor of the room.

there is none left,

My torso, my limbs...

Being deprived of the gift of touch and pain by the insect nest, the scene in front of him quickly darkened, not only because of fear, anger, and despair,

It is also due to the failure of internal organs and insufficient blood supply.

Tread, tread, tread.

Cerberus walked quickly, crushing the ice crystal ground along the way, and picked up the talent.

With particular skill, he removed several conduits from the ceiling and inserted them into the grooves opened above Ju Tiantian's head.

The blood carrying oxygen circulated again, and Ju Tiantian, who was left with only his head, survived.

A large number of worker insects crawled into the room, collected the broken coffin fragments, cleared away the thick layer of ice left by Xuan Ming's divine power, and moved in a life-support device of the same shape.

The general talent was placed back again.

If human brain cells are deprived of endogenous oxygen for a long time, it can cause irreversible damage to the brain.

Cerberus said in a low voice: I can regard your jailbreak just now as a blind offense without knowing your own position, and forgive your mistake.

But there was only one mistake.

Cerberus looked at Ju Tiantian, who was gradually waking up, and said hoarsely: The contract between us is still valid. Before I bring back your new companion,

Hope you can write more.

After saying that, Cerberus strode out of the room, looked at the other hive lords who also walked out of the room, and walked together in the direction of the loud noise, looking for the intruders.

Only these Hive Lords know that it is the Hive Cerebrate, [Sphinx], who specializes in biological modification technology, who designed and produced a complex device that strips players of their limbs, leaving only their heads, and uses conduits hanging from the ceiling to maintain life. technology.

The inspiration for this technology seems to come from a human cartoon called Calabash Brothers, which was praised and appreciated by the Holy Lady at the time.

He was awarded the Silver Medal of the First Worm Cup I Love Inventions Grand Prix, making other brainworms envious.
