mother of all races

"Who's there? What exactly are you trying to do?"

A strong self-loathing surged into Lin Xi's heart——

He stepped on a trap.

Whether it is the kind of attraction that comes from deep in the body, which he considers to be instinct, or those embryonic monsters that suddenly appear... I am afraid that they are all the ghosts of the guy who hid in the electronic brain before.

God, he still thinks that guy has no malicious intentions, and let himself come here step by step according to that guy's plot.

He should be more vigilant, looking at the current situation, Lin Xi felt like a silly rabbit who was full and went straight into the trap.

But now, he was separated from Xavier and Arthur in this way, and then he was isolated and helpless in this biological laboratory.

"who are you?!"

Lin Xi yelled again.

However, after his words fell, there was still only silence around.

Obviously, this time is the same as before...

No one responded to him, at least, that "person" didn't intend to respond to him now.

Lin Xi listened to her own voice echoing in the deserted biological laboratory and long corridors, forming a reverberation similar to an echo.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Xi could hear the fear and panic in his voice.

Lin Xi took out the old-fashioned electronic pulse gun that he had been carrying behind his back, and then held the thing tightly in his hand.

"Fuck—you brought me here, you gotta tell me what the hell you're up to?"

Lin Xi's voice was deep, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

At the same time, he couldn't help staring at all the electronic instruments in his field of vision.He always felt that in the next second, a strange ghost from 300 years ago would appear on those electronic products and talk to him.

But after waiting for a long time, everything in front of him still hasn't changed in the slightest.

Even those little things that were like embryos before had no sound.

It's quiet here, like being at the bottom of the deep sea and like being in a coffin.

Lin Xi secretly cursed again.

He turned his head suddenly, and then walked outside the biology laboratory.

He had no intention of continuing to stand in a stalemate with the person who led him here.However, just as Lin Xi stepped out of the already damaged door of the biological laboratory, the two ends of the passage connecting the biological laboratory suddenly fell down two extraordinarily solid isolation doors.

Lin Xi's footsteps stopped suddenly.

The metal door slammed heavily on the ground, making an unusually heavy sound.

Lin Xi just stood at the door and stared dumbfounded, the two metal partition doors inlaid with black and yellow edges blocked all his way.

Even if he didn't step forward to check it carefully, Lin Xi could still see that the two metal doors were quite thick and strong, and the only weapon in Lin Xi's hand was an old-fashioned pulse gun (the energy might only be enough for Lin Xi to use for a while. Twice), he has no way to open those two doors directly.

At this moment, the intention of the person hiding behind that electronic brain has become very obvious.

He hoped that Lin Xi would stay here, in this extremely uncomfortable biological laboratory.

"Well... you like to communicate with me in this way, right?"

Lin Xi's face was ashen, and then he said through gritted teeth.

However, since the two isolation doors fell and Lin Xi was trapped, the mysterious man has not made any other movements.

Lin Xi could feel his temples throbbing, but he finally forced himself to calm down.

The matter has come to this point, it seems that if he doesn't act according to that "person", the two of them will only be deadlocked here.Considering how little energy is left in the underground facility, Lin Xi doesn't think stalemate is a good idea.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xi could only tighten her nerves, and carefully returned to the biology laboratory step by step, and inspected the completely sealed room.

Before that, because of the separation from Xavier and Arthur, Lin Xi was a little flustered, and he didn't pay much attention to the scattered materials.In his opinion, it was just a series of biological experiments, including the capture and transformation of native organisms on planet AS192.Some of these experiments also seem to involve cloning...

[…The adult characteristics of the clones have deviated far beyond expectations, and their brains have shrunk severely, which makes them almost completely unable to obey the orders of the special experimental subject S...]

[The birth rate is 325 times the normal level, so they have evolved a more... 】

[Application for the third batch of production of the special experimental subject S, the special reproductive tendency shown by the clones has caused irreversible damage to the special experimental subject S...]

……

……

Lin Xi's eyes scanned those reports and application forms.

I had a vague idea in my mind, but at this moment, Lin Xi didn't realize that these records would have anything to do with him...

It's just an experiment with some clones.

Lin Xi thought.

These experiments are of course illegal on Earth, but this is AS192 after all, and Lin Xi knows very well that in a behemoth like the Providence Project, there will always be some dark corners that cannot be touched by law and ethics.

Not to mention, these experiments were permanently terminated for some special reasons as early as 300 years ago-the human beings who conducted the experiments and the experimental subjects they produced had long since turned into human beings lying in the corridor outside the door superior.

But now, since something is deviously holding Lin Xi here in various ways, it is obviously hoped that Lin Xi will find some other information...

Under this premise, Lin Xi also had to cheer up and check those materials carefully again.

"...Is this too strange?"

Although he didn't pay attention at first, after carefully studying the remaining materials in the laboratory, Lin Xi immediately realized that his previous judgment was wrong.

He discovered that in this biological laboratory, the most abundant information was not the transformation and cloning of living organisms, but...

But some archaeological materials that seem to have nothing to do with biological experiments?

Lin Xi found some ancient storage chips on the ground, and with the intention of trying them out, he stuffed those dusty chips into the small control center of the biology laboratory.

At least from the interface, it seems that the control center can also be used as an information reader.

And Lin Xi didn't even need to rack his brains to guess the password this time—the mysterious person skipped the procedure directly, and the reading result of the chip automatically jumped out on the distorted gray-blue screen.

Lin Xi couldn't help frowning in confusion after seeing the results.

"Analysis of the connotation of Char's Zerg worship in Sunu culture..."

"A summary of the relationship between Star Butterfly and the Char Zerg..."

"The archaeological discovery of the third sacrificial platform in Sulu King City and the research on the history of Charia Zerg..."

Lin Xi murmured and repeated the words on the information.

What exactly is going on?

Why are so many Sunu archaeological documents found in the biological laboratory on planet AS192?

What happened to the Char Zerg...

Lin Xi didn't even know what the so-called Char Zerg was, but 300 years ago, so many people were studying it?

Lin Xi kept flipping through the information in the records with strong doubts.

He quickly flipped through the contents of that electronic chip, and after confirming that there was no more content in it, Lin Xi quickly put another electronic chip into the reader.

He thought he could see more information about the Char Zerg - his intuition told him that this thing had a lot to do with himself.

But what Lin Xi didn't expect was that after the electronic screen shook violently for a long time, what was displayed in front of him was no longer those inexplicable archaeological materials.

What was displayed on this chip was the top-secret physical examination report of Captain Scripps, the head of the Providence.

Scripps' case should be mixed with some archaeological data?

This made Lin Xi feel a little weird, but soon Lin Xi knew why...

His eyes quickly scanned the first content.

It can be seen that Scripps is the perfect candidate as the captain. He is an orphan and has no extra concerns, which allows him to perform such a long and lonely mission perfectly, and his IQ is extremely high. Physically far superior to other humans...

If you just look at his pre-flight physical report, you will only feel that he is so perfect that he is not human-both mentally and physically, he is so outstanding, it is almost like God knows people To carry out an important task of expanding the living space of human beings, this man named Scripps was specially created for human beings.

However... Just like Andre Quinn, the perfect resume occurred after the jump of the Providence caused the jump gate to vibrate and lost contact with the earth.

Captain Stripes' physical problems flared up after the entire ship landed on AS192.

Lin Xi's eyes kept scanning the body data marked in bright red.

According to the ship's doctor's records at the time, Captain Scripps had a very severe allergic reaction to the new immigrant vaccine used on planet AS192, and this time the allergy even lasted for more than half a year.

As of now, Captain Scripps' body records are still generally kept secret.

When Lin Xi continued to read, he noticed that the confidentiality level of the document was instantly raised to the highest level...

After discovering this, Lin Xi couldn't help looking at the data reader in front of him for a long time.

"Are you right here? Is this what you want me to see?"

Lin Xi couldn't help asking.

He was very sure that if it wasn't for the help of the "ghost" who kept appearing around him with the help of an electronic brain, an outsider like him... wouldn't be able to see the highest-level confidential information 300 years ago.

This made Lin Xi feel extra upset, and the feeling of falling into a trap was even stronger.

He even wanted to put down the record in his hand and leave, but his body seemed to be disobedient, and he couldn't help but read on...

Soon, the appearance of a few pictures made him forget about other troubles in an instant.

When seeing those pictures, Lin Xi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood stiffly in place.

That photo is from the medical report of Captain Scripps of the USS Providence.

The subject of the photo is, of course, Scripps himself.

"Scripps?"

Lin Xi looked at the young man in the picture in shock.

He is completely different from what Lin Xi thought...

In Lin Xi's impression, he always felt that Scripps should be an evil and gloomy disgusting guy like a poisonous snake, but now, what he saw in the photo was indeed a very pale but beautiful face man.

It is hard to say whether he is an Easterner or a Westerner, perhaps because of his mixed blood, his face has perfectly inherited the most beautiful features of different races.And his temperament is gentle but not weak, calm but not indifferent - just looking at his photo, a wonderful idea emerged in Lin Xi's heart.

There is no one in this world more suited to captain the Providence than Scripps.Although, even if you look at it from the perspective of 300 years later, Lin Xi still feels that even if Scripps refuses to be the captain of an immigrant spaceship, he can live a good and rich life as a star on Earth—he It can even drive people on Earth crazy.

However, while he looks stunningly beautiful in this photo, his body is...

But quite bad.

Because, Scripps' body has undergone very obvious mutations.

Lin Xi stared blankly at Scripps in the photo.

The man's upper body is still as beautiful as a marble sculpture, but his lower body has been transformed into another...disgusting form.

Lin Xi's breathing became extremely heavy, and he turned his head to look at his body blankly.

That's right, Streeps is just like Lin Xi, his body has undergone a serious mutation, and he has turned into a terrifying monster that is half human and half insect.

"..."

Lin Xi couldn't say anything else at all.

And if the information he browsed wasn't someone making fun of him...

Captain Scripps suffered from a serious Char infection at the beginning.

At least that's what they say in the documentation.

This is why there are so many archaeological records of the Char in this biological laboratory.

Lin Xi straightened up in astonishment, and he looked around him again.

This is not a biological laboratory... This is a private top-secret hospital specially set up by high-level people on the Providence to cure the original Captain Scripps.

But for some unknown reason, Captain Scripps did not continue the treatment, and the entire medical laboratory and the entire underground facility were abandoned by the main ship Providence.

The treatment for Captain Scripps stopped abruptly.

Lin Xi immediately realized that he was so similar to the original Scripps, and he couldn't wait to see more information, but at this time, the reader, which was already dying, sent out an unbearable The strange sound of a heavy load.

Immediately afterwards, the crooked and shaking screen went dark under Lin Xi's gaze.

"Hey, don't do that!"

Lin Xi became anxious all of a sudden, and he slapped the reader heavily, trying to get the damn mechanism to work again.

However, the reader is completely stuck in a stopped state.

"Is there a mistake..."

Lin Xi couldn't believe that he would encounter such a thing, you know, he was clearly seeing the most important thing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and kicked the data table of the connected data reader heavily.

Unexpected things just happened...

"crunch-"

The next second, Lin Xi suddenly heard a particularly monotonous voice coming from the back of the laboratory.

Lin Xi suddenly turned his head, and then he was shocked to see that what he thought was a wall was slowly sliding towards both sides.

The biting cold air turned into a layer of white mist, flowing slowly along the open metal door.

In the faint blue light, one column after another of the frozen dormant petri dishes stood like that in the frozen warehouse as wide as a square.

And in that translucent frozen liquid, the bluish-white flesh due to long-term freezing slowly floated like a floating corpse.

"my God--"

Lin Xi's breathing stopped for a moment.

He didn't even know how he got into that cold storage room.

It's so cold and deadly silent here, but at the same time, there is something here that has been affecting Lin Xi's heart...

The first time he walked into the frozen warehouse, Lin Xi's eyes fell on the nearest frozen petri dish.

There he saw a familiar face...

He'd seen this man's face in a picture profile just a few minutes before, only Scripps had it, face.

However, the man whose curled up body was dormant in the icy freezing liquid now only had his face that belonged to a human being, and the rest of his body had completely turned into a large lump of flesh like a tumor.

Lin Xi slowly walked forward a few steps, he was not surprised at all, he saw more similar things in other frozen petri dishes - the same Scripps' face, and words can't describe it disgusting body.

Lin Xi held her breath and looked at the logo under the frozen petri dish.

These frozen contents did not have their own names, but just from the constantly changing numbers, Lin Xi could already guess that all these terrifying creatures belonged to the clones of Captain Scripps.

【Special Experiment Question S】

He suddenly remembered the words mentioned in the information he had glanced at before.

Lin Xi thought that after experiencing so much, his spirit was strong enough (after all, not everyone will find themselves abandoned on a different planet after waking up, all their companions died tragically and he became half-human, half-worm creatures), but at this moment, looking at the large number of clones in front of him, he still felt breathless.

And just when Lin Xi thought this was the limit, he had already come to the center of this frozen warehouse, and then he saw something even more terrifying here

If the clone of Scripps just made it hard for him to breathe, then what he saw now made his body freeze and he couldn't move at all.

A super-large frozen water tank that is as deep and wide as a swimming pool stands there.

In it, there are densely packed monsters that look like giant insects, just floating in the frozen liquid.

At the very first moment, the corpses of these monsters even made Lin Xi involuntarily think of Xavier—it felt very special, and Lin Xi couldn't point to those disgusting things and say how similar it was to Xavier.

But as long as he looked at them, Xavier involuntarily appeared in Lin Xi's mind.

This feeling was so strange that Lin Xi couldn't help but get goosebumps.

He just wanted to run away and stop staring at these monsters, but he couldn't control his eyes.

his instinct...

"He" was screaming inside his body.

Lin Xi could feel every cell in her body staring at the monsters in front of her.

Each of them looks completely different, and some of them look like outright large insects, with particularly hideous shapes and disgusting faces.There are also some that look more or less human, but these human features are embedded in such a body, which only makes them look even more terrifying.

Oh, right……

Although the shapes of these monsters are different, there is one thing that is the same in their strange bodies. Lin Xi's eyes fell on the raised pillars of different shapes on the surface of their bodies.

As a half-human, half-worm monster, Lin Xi didn't need anything else to distinguish the characteristics of those monsters.

He knew very well that those incomparably huge protrusions were just... some special organs of these monsters.

Yes, at this moment Lin Xi could already clearly distinguish the difference between the monster in the tank and his Xavier.

The special organs of these monsters have obviously developed to an illogical level.

Those bumps... unnaturally bulging and bulging...

This makes the bodies of these monsters appear completely abnormal.

That's right, alien species are monsters in the eyes of humans, but even for monsters, these things look too abnormal.

Not to mention, Lin Xi felt extremely familiar with the breath on these frozen corpses.

They are not ordinary aliens, they are...

Lin Xi suddenly shivered, and a terrible idea suddenly appeared in his mind

If it is said that Scripps has undergone the same physical mutation as him, does it mean that Scripps is also the same as him... 300 years ago, Scripps was gradually transforming into the mother of alien species?

"Oh no……"

Lin Xi's face was completely drained of blood, and he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Everyone knows that the birth of the mother of alien species must be accompanied by the appearance of the king worm, just like Lin Xi has his Xavier.

If Scripps was copied so many clones, it would be difficult for his kingworm to escape a similar fate.

Lin Xi's pupils narrowed to a tiny point, and he stared at the things in the glass sink in front of him in horror.

Every monster here is a clone of an overlord worm...

It's just that some kind of uncontrollable mutation has appeared on these clones.

Just as Lin Xi was carefully looking at the long-frozen creatures, his eyes suddenly blurred, and he vaguely felt that one of the monsters seemed to move.

Lin Xi suddenly felt a little sick.

He took a few steps back to put some distance between himself and the freezing water tank.

"Zizi..."

It was at this time that he seemed to hear a small hiss.

Lin Xi's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he was not dazzled before.
