mother of all races

"Lin Xi, is this something dangerous?"

Perhaps aware of Lin Xi's hidden anxiety, Xavier has been carefully observing Lin Xi's every move. After seeing his actions, he asked vigilantly.

"I can... destroy it."

Then he proposed graciously, and deliberately used an advanced word that he learned not long ago.

Hearing Xavier's proposal, Lin Xi couldn't help being stunned.It is obviously the most sensible decision to let Xavier directly destroy the electronic brain-the person who manipulated the electronic brain through some unknown special method can certainly reactivate the severely damaged electronic brain, but It's impossible for that guy to rely on that strange ability to reassemble things that have been completely shattered.

No matter from which aspect, Xavier's proposal is the best choice.

But for some reason, the moment Lin Xi heard this proposal, Lin Xi found a strong resistance bursting out from the bottom of her heart.

He bit his lip, and clearly realized that he might not be as rational as he appeared on the surface—he really cared about that man's plea for help, and really wanted to know what happened here, Ming In the dark, he had a strong premonition that he had some kind of mysterious and strong connection with that man that couldn't be described in words.

To describe it in even more unscientific terms, it seems to be a kind of fate.

And fate is guiding Lin Xi to find the man and find out all the truth.

"Lin Xi?"

However, Xavier, who was beside Lin Xi, was eager to solve Lin Xi's troubles.

"No," Lin Xi said subconsciously, "I mean...don't worry about it for now."

Lin Xi said to Xavier absent-mindedly.

Xavier quickly noticed Lin Xi's trance, and it fell silent immediately.

Xavier's mood was a little low, and he knew what the expression on Lin Xi's face represented - long before Lin Xi lost his memory, Xavier had seen the same expression on Lin Xi's face many times.

If it wasn't for that accident, perhaps Lin Xi would have already returned to his beloved earth, right?

Thinking of this, Xavier felt uncomfortable as if something was stuck in his throat.

"What's wrong? Is the wound hurting?"

Just when Xavier was thinking wildly, Lin Xi frowned, then turned to look at Xavier.

Hearing that question, Xavier's tentacles hung behind his head, and he couldn't help shaking them vigorously.

It originally thought that its depression was well hidden, but it never expected that Lin Xi would discover it all at once.

"Nothing, I just..."

I'm just worried that you will abandon me.

The words stuck on the tip of Xavier's tongue.

It also remembers the TV series I watched - all the heroines who said similar words in the story seemed to be abandoned in the end.

Xavier swallowed his worries vigilantly back.

Before he could continue to organize his words and come up with another excuse to pick up the conversation, Lin Xi had already approached him.

The man who fascinated Xavier stretched out his hand, caressing its scarred body carefully.

"Thank you for protecting me like this. I'm glad... I knew we should at least keep the healing tools with us."

Lin Xi said with a sigh.

In order to avoid the storm, they had already discarded their excess luggage in the woods. In such a wild environment, those things had probably already been reduced to unrecognizable debris by the naked eye.

"Don't do that to me next time, I'm not fully human now...I'm not that vulnerable."

While speaking, Lin Xi involuntarily glanced at her lower body.

The insect-like body dimmed Lin Xi's eyes.

“It will be fine soon”

Xavier leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and whispered softly.

"I will shed my skin - I will be even more powerful after I molt." It followed Lin Xi's gaze to look at the other's bulging body, and then shook its wings a little shyly.

"Lin Xi will look good in the future."

Although in Xavier's opinion, Lin Xi is already the most beautiful worm mother in the world.

"...You are already very powerful now."

Hearing Xavier's reassurance, Lin Xi couldn't help pursing her lips and showing a faint smile.

After a pause, Lin Xi couldn't hold back, and said to Xavier again: "Thank you for always being by my side."

If it wasn't for Xavier, who was abandoned on such a planet and faced with such a world, Lin Xi doubted that he would go completely crazy in a short time.

Xavier's wingtips quivered more violently.

He felt very strange, and didn't understand why Lin Xi was gentle with it, so it felt like it wanted to cry.

At this moment, Xavier's emotions attacked Lin Xi again.

Lin Xi was also caught off guard by Xavier's surging emotions.

His body trembled slightly, and a slight redness appeared on his face, but in the next second, he returned to normal—at least on the surface, he returned to normal.

He and Xavier looked at each other for a moment, then turned his head and changed the subject nonchalantly.

In short... In short, the most urgent thing now is to have a good rest.After the storm dies down, we still have a tough battle to fight. "

As Lin Xi spoke, his voice gradually became lower and lower: "I really hope the cave won't be affected by the storm."

All the things Xavier searched from the ruins of the Helios are now piled up there.

If the storm on the planet AS192 did destroy the cave, it would also mean that the last link between Lynch and Earth was lost.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt that her heart was extraordinarily heavy as if it had been filled with lead.

Considering the mutual emotional influence between him and Xavier, Lin Xi forced himself to pull himself together after a brief depression.

Lin Xi checked Arthur's condition again.

As a deformed alien, Arthur is indeed not a type that is good at fighting, but his special physical condition makes him have a different talent in repairing limbs.

In other words, all of its special abilities seem to be focused on "surviving".

The wound on Xavier's body was still deeply visible, but at the same time, Arthur's body was already covered with thick mucus, and a new carapace was forming under the mucus.

Lin Xi had no doubt that after the night passed, Arthur could quickly return to his original state.

This somewhat relieved him

The whimpering wind outside the metal door showed no sign of stopping from beginning to end, which again hit Lin Xi's previous premonition.

The storm they encountered this time was indeed much more violent than the previous one.

No matter how much he cheered himself up now, Lin Xi still felt more and more heavy, but in front of Xavier and Arthur, he did not show any depression.

He just went back to the wall of the secret room silently, and then sat down beside Xavier.

Put all his weight on Xavier, because he knew that this would make the overly sensitive alien beside him happier.

only……

Although the original intention was to make Xavier feel better, after sitting down, Lin Xi immediately felt the weakness of his body.

This is not surprising.

His body has undergone an extremely energy-consuming transformation, and the gravy transformed from monster corpses can't actually provide enough nutrients.

Lin Xi will never know that he is probably the weakest worm mother ever.

His transformation was completely unsuccessful and incomplete. He didn't have his own nest, he didn't have a territory, and he didn't produce enough eggs.

He doesn't even have any heirs of his own.

This means that his race is almost on the brink of extinction.

Ok……

I'm afraid even if Lin Xi knew this, he wouldn't care too much about it.

The previous trek in the storm left him with many scars, and for this secret room, Lin Xi spent more mental energy than he could bear.

Because of this, without knowing it, Lin Xi snuggled into Xavier's arms and closed her eyes.

He fell asleep.

Then, he dreamed again.

It's just that what appeared in his dream this time was no longer the man with a terrifying appearance and a strange history.

This time, the protagonist in his dream was Xavier.

In the dream, it seems to have another form.

It is huge, monstrous, and full of power, its wings and flesh-colored tentacles are constantly flying and wriggling in the dark deep space.

Lin Xi smelled blood and strong hormones at the same time.

The stimuli of color and taste made his mind dizzy, and the emptiness in his belly became extremely strong, and he longed to be full, to be filled.

When sober, Lin Xi can always easily suppress the animal instinct in her body.But in the dream, the opposite happened, and he felt himself extraordinarily weak, while his primal instincts were so strong that they were completely uncontrollable.

The desire to reproduce and the sense of hunger and thirst washed over his feeble mind like a waterfall.

Not to mention that the individual who can satisfy him is by his side.

Xavier, his monster...

His king worm.

Lin Xi felt very clearly that as long as he wanted, he could be satisfied.

What else can guarantee a safe environment and sufficient supplies for a fragile mother of alien species?

Only breeding...and the bred family.

Those lovely lives, those numerous offspring, will start to evolve by themselves after they get the chance to live.

As long as they are given enough time, even the raging storm is no longer a big problem.

Lynch knows this.

He has known this all along.

[Lin Xi...Lin Xi...no...wake up...Lin Xi! 】

Lin Xi heard several extremely hoarse calls.

At first the voice was a human language, but it quickly turned into a hoarse and high-pitched Zerg hiss.

Lin Xi opened her eyes wide and stared at Xavier beside him.

God, just seeing this bug will make Lin Xi feel extremely empty.

The worm's instinct was clamoring, and then...

"Lin Xi!"

Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he realized with great embarrassment that he was suppressing Xavier with his deformed and bloated body, just as he wanted to do in his dream.

There was a thick and bloody smell in the air, Lin Xiguang couldn't help but start to feel hot when he smelled that smell.

The extra bloody smell was caused by Xavier's instinct to wake him up and was injured by Lin Xi.

"What the hell did I do..."

Lin Xi let out an extremely painful whisper, covered his face, and quickly jumped off Xavier's body.

It took him at least 10 minutes to calm down his body.

After calming down, Lin Xi quickly figured out what the problem was—it was still the damned instinct of belonging to a different species.

That storm beyond the limit of his imagination, and the dangerous situation he experienced during this time, made his instinct of being a different species stronger and stronger.

It's like human beings get goosebumps when it's cold and sweat when it's hot, even though sometimes these physiological reactions put people in an extremely dangerous state, but the human body is designed like this, you can't way to control this.

As for the mother of alien species, God knows how this creature was designed. When faced with the difficulties of life, the solution it gives is also very simple-that is, multiply, keep multiplying.

As long as there are enough descendants, those heirs and family members who will continue to evolve will always find a way to make him survive, and live well.

In addition, the situation of Xavier and Lin Xi is very delicate now, they are in a small closed space.

The breaths that attract each other, or hormones, become more intense in the stagnant air.

Lin Xi rubbed his temples, he really hoped that the person trapped in such a body was not himself.

This is really embarrassing.

Lin Xi thought.

Even now, his rationality has regained control of this body, but his instincts still remain in his body, and he can feel that he is still exuding a strong breath, which is a kind of strong breath. A suggestive invitation.

The ground is wet, the air is extremely humid, and Xavier is close at hand.

Xavier's state is no different from that of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi could clearly see a few tentacles protruding from under its elytra. Even now, it was still twisting its tail unconsciously, which looked like some kind of dance.

In the alien world, this is the marriage proposal dance of the king worm to the worm mother.

At this moment, the only thing to be thankful for is that there is no substantial over-contact between them.

Well, from the perspective of alien species, this is unbelievable, after all, they were born to reproduce and expand their own group.

At the moment when Lin Xi was instinctively occupied because of physical fatigue, he had actually given clear instructions to Xavier and allowed the other party to approach.

No matter from which point of view, Xavier should readily agree.

But it didn't do that, and even risked being killed by Lin Xi, it worked hard to wake up Lin Xi's sanity.

"...That wasn't Lin Xi just now."

As if he could hear the voice in Lin Xi's body, Xavier suddenly whispered hoarsely.

It stared straight at Lin Xi at this moment, and its eyes were bright red on the insect-like face.

Lin Xi could feel that it was trying to suppress something.

Xavier slowly stepped back a few steps, and stood a little farther away from Lin Xi. Just doing this made him feel extremely difficult.

After all, its body still wanted to entangle Lin Xi—when Lin Xi tried to leave, its hugging feet popped out all of a sudden.

Before that thing, it looked like a special organ of some kind of large insect.But now, perhaps to cater to Lin Xi's subconscious preferences, the two are now covered with carapaces and complex joint parts.It turned into a simpler and more evil fleshy tentacles—exactly the same as the tentacles protruding from the back of the star butterfly Lin Xi saw when she was a child.

"Sorry……"

Xavier made a small and weak apology, and then he pulled his grip back hard.

Lin Xi bit his lower lip tightly, for a moment, he almost wanted to surrender to his instinct, he wanted to rush into Xavier's arms, and then do with him what real aliens and king worms should do Things... such as expanding one's own race and producing more offspring.

God, what am I thinking...

Lin Xi shuddered, and he found that his thoughts were drifting in an indescribable direction uncontrollably.

He can't continue to look at Xavier like this, Lin Xi thought in his heart.

Any direct communication with Xavier will only make things more and more out of control.

Lin Xi forced herself to turn around, and then avoided Xavier's gaze.

Thank God, after losing sight of Xavier, he had finally regained some sobriety.

Immediately afterwards, he saw... a white shadow huddled in another corner of the secret room.That's Arthur.

Compared with Lin Xi and Xavier, who were filled with pink aura, this poor little guy looked extremely frightened.

Lin Xi blinked, it took him a while to realize why Arthur was so scared.

After all, when he was dizzy and chaotic due to instinct, what filled his body was not only a strong reproductive instinct, but also hunger...

And in such a small space, what better food than a mutilated stunted xenomorph? ?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi secretly wiped a cold sweat. He was very glad that Xavier finally woke up his sanity.

Otherwise... After completing something, in order to breed new seeds, the most instinctive action of the mother of alien species is to replenish energy.

If things have developed to that extent, no matter what, Arthur cannot escape the fate of being treated as food.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Lin Xi whispered to Arthur very dryly.

After hearing Lin Xi's normal voice, Arthur raised his head in fear.

"Lin Xi?!

It cautiously called Lin Xi

Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Arthur, like Xavier, was distinguishing him... from "Him".

A warm current surged into Lin Xi's heart instantly.

Suddenly, Lin Xi felt that her life was not so bad.

Whether it is Arthur or Xavier, they care and love him as Lin Xi.

And Lin Xi knew how rare it was.

"it's me."

Lin Xi nodded.

He knelt down, then reached out and touched Arthur's head.

Xavier's sight behind him suddenly became extremely hot.

Of course Arthur also noticed it. The strong killing intent emanating from Xavier at that moment made it tremble.But even so, Arthur still stuck his neck stubbornly, letting Lin Xi's palm rub against the top of his head several times.

"Bang bang..."

Its wings flapped regularly behind it.

This action caused its wings to collide with the metal wall, making a particularly obvious hollow sound.

Hearing that voice, Lin Xi froze suddenly.

"Wait..." He stood up and approached the metal wall.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xi clasped his fingers and tapped the metal wall that Arthur's wings had slapped with his nails, and then he tapped on the other metal walls.

"Bang bang—"

"Bang... bang..."

Although the difference is very small, to Lin Xi who has become a different species, it sounds like two completely different voices.

Arthur's location is empty behind the wall

"Look what we found."

Lin Xi's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and his mind immediately turned to the wall.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the metal wall carefully. It didn't take long before he found a very secret gap.That is the interface between the metal wall and other parts.

If he hadn't noticed the difference in the sound, even if Lin Xi had discovered the gap, he would have thought it was some kind of fixed technique used in the construction of the metal secret room.

"Xavier, can you see something else?"

Lin Xi turned her head and said to Xavier.

Xavier has a high degree of alienation, which makes his perception far surpass that of Lin Xi.

After hearing the order, Xavier immediately acted.

With the help of the extremely powerful detection ability of the alien species, it didn't take long for Lin Xi and Xavier to discover that there was a very imperceptible button on the inside of the metal door that had caused them great trouble.

If you don't look carefully, people may think that this button is used to control the opening and closing of the metal door.But after careful study, Lin Xi resolutely pressed the small button forcefully.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a particularly harsh friction sound—no matter how well maintained it was before, the metal door that has not been lubricated for 300 years will always make an unpleasant sound when it is opened again

A heavy and icy air rushed out from the metal door that was slowly moving to both sides.

The green emergency light flickered on a few beats later.

Lin Xi turned around vigilantly, and walked towards the metal door.

Then he discovered that after the metal door opened, what appeared in front of them was a long corridor.

Standing where Lin Xi is now, he can't see the end of the corridor at all, and he doesn't know where it leads.The only thing that can be determined is that the connection between this corridor and the metal secret room also has a line of clear words - Providence plan.

Lin Xi stared at the other end of the corridor with an uncertain expression.

The place where they were before was obviously the entrance and exit of the outside world and underground facilities, no wonder they found nothing there.

Lin Xi hesitated for a while.He wondered if he should explore the passage.

His uneasiness obviously also affected Xavier, and the next second he heard the big bug beside him say to him in a low voice:

"It's okay. I will protect Lin Xi."

This is probably another line it heard from some soap opera, but Lin Xi has to admit that such a line does sound particularly reassuring.

At least, it worked for Lin Xi.

After hearing Xavier's assurance, Lin Xi closed her eyes and let out her mental power.Vaguely, he felt that there seemed to be something pulling his nerves at the other end of the corridor.

It felt weird, but Lin Xi didn't feel the danger.

Lin Xi took a deep breath, then he took a step forward slowly, followed by another step.

This corridor is quite spacious, even allowing Xavier, Lin Xi and Arthur to advance side by side.

And when Arthur also walked into this passage, the metal door behind them made another harsh sound, and then slowly closed.

At that moment Lin Xi felt that his scalp was about to explode, he almost ignored it, turned around and rushed back to the secret room.

But in the end he didn't do that.

Lin Xi's nerves were tense. He originally thought that such a place would have some traps, just like the adventure stories he saw on Earth.

But he didn't wait for any mechanism.

After all, this is 300 years... Even if there is any mechanism here, it is afraid that it has lost its effectiveness long ago.

Think about those lighting facilities. If you want to maintain a special mechanism with lethality, the amount of energy required is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Now here, we can only barely maintain the illumination of emergency lights.

Lin Xi murmured in his heart, he knew that he was actually very nervous now.

It's very quiet here, so quiet that some people can't breathe.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the long passage, sometimes it sounded like someone was following them, which made Lin Xi want to turn around to check the situation behind her from time to time.
