mother of all races

Lin Xi frowned tightly.

The warning signal emanating from the depths of his body made him tremble involuntarily.

"There's something...hiss..."

Xavier beside him said in a low voice, and the vague human voice finally turned into a complete insect language.

The young and strong king worm is now standing on his head with thorns on his body, his eyes are scarlet, and he seems to have entered a state of high alert.

Lin Xi turned her head and quickly glanced at Xavier.

The state shown by the other party made his chest feel a little stuffy, and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

After all, he is very clear about what can make Xavier show such a strong state of vigilance...

"..."

Lin Xi walked to the other side of the control room step by step in silence.Then he stood in front of the glass window facing the freezer.

The scene that caught Lin Xi's eyes was so evil, weird, and disgusting that even he, who was no longer human, couldn't help shivering.

Just a few minutes ago, Lin Xi thought he had seen the saddest scene in the world.

Before this day, Lin Xi never imagined that she would witness so many frozen coffins and the deaths represented behind these "coffins".

He really has it all already scary enough, dark enough.

But now he has to change his mind...

"Zizi...Zizi..."

Even through the thick isolation glass, the wet friction sound of those things can still be heard clearly.

There's a lot of stuff squirming around inside the freezer.

Smooth, pale, soft, sickening.

The things that suddenly poured into the external freezer had familiar appearances, but they were different in size.

The largest one was close to two meters in length, while the smallest one looked like a small dog.

Just like the things Lin Xi had seen before, these "things" had a smooth appearance and looked similar to slugs, and the lifelike human faces on their bodies were the most obvious identification mark.

Before this moment, Lin Xi didn't feel that these soft and pathetic creatures would cause him any harm.

But he never imagined that one day he would face so many worms face to face in such a short moment.

Dozens?Or a few hundred?

Those overlapping and wriggling creatures made it difficult for Lin Xi to judge their real number.

The only thing Lin Xi knew was that the number of these human face worms was increasing.

From when Lin Xi felt something was wrong to when he stood still in front of the glass window, it only took tens of seconds.But in the frozen warehouse, which was still dead and silent before, it has become extremely crowded now.

"Zizi..."

The wet voice seemed to become extraordinarily loud in an instant.

Those soft-bodied worms with human faces quickly drilled out of all kinds of unimaginable nooks and crannies, and then they skipped over the cold chambers containing countless mummified corpses, just like that. Creeping towards Lin Xi's direction.

"..."

Lin Xi suddenly exuded his spiritual power.

If nothing else happened, he would have directly dispelled this almost mindless monster, but after dissipating his mental power, Lin Xi realized that things had changed.

The thoughts of these worms are so cloudy, so viscous... as if they can completely smash all his souls.

Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he quickly withdrew his strength.

"Close the door!"

Then, Lin Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and said to Xavier.

Xavier jumped up, and it slammed directly towards the very thick door of the control room and closed it heavily——

"Crack."

Something invisible that has been lingering around them seems to be hinting at Lin Xi and Xavier.The moment Xavier closed the door, something that seemed to have failed beside the door lit up, and the red word "Locked" flickered in the unstable current, as if it was some kind of unknown living thing .

Doors closed and locked very promptly.

"boom--"

Because at the moment when the door closed, there was a heavy knocking sound from behind that door.

"His-"

Xavier's eyes flashed a sharp and cold red light at that moment.

Its mouthparts popped out subconsciously, and then it issued a particularly vicious warning sound at the creature behind the door.

The brief thumping and jostling died away for a moment.

But neither Lin Xi nor Xavier showed any signs of relaxation.

"Xavier..."

Lin Xi stared at the closed office door and whispered.

"I know."

Xavier shook his tentacles and replied.

It seemed that he also wanted to intervene in the extremely brief conversation between Lin Xi and Xavier, and some mucus with a faint smell of fish seeped in from under the crack of the door.

Xavier's wings visibly changed to a particularly conspicuous black and yellow color with the naked eye. He lowered his head and fixedly looked at the off-white slime.

Then, it opened its mouth suddenly, and sprayed out a large stream of acid with strong corrosive effects to the bottom of the door.

"Zizi-"

Accompanied by an exceptionally sharp hiss, those mucus-like things quickly retracted in an instant.

Ok……

At least Lin Xi, who had witnessed all this, now knew how those large numbers of human-faced worms were squeezed out of various small gaps.

"What the hell is going on with these things?"

Lin Xi panted, looking straight out of the glass.

At this moment, the originally smooth and clean metal ground was already covered by the wet bodies of countless worms.

They quickly climbed onto the glass in front of Lin Xi, and the mimicked faces on their bodies were facing Lin Xi's direction dully—for a moment, Lin Xi even had a strange illusion, as if these worms , these low-level creatures who had already lost any sanity were staring directly at him through the glass window.

"Lin Xi—"

Xavier quickly noticed Lin Xi's strong discomfort.

It suddenly came in front of Lin Xi, and then spread its wings, blocking the "sight" of those worms.

"Are you OK?"

Xavier asked worriedly.

Lin Xi shuddered and didn't recover until this time.

"I'm fine, I just have some..."

There is some nausea.

Lin Xi's attempt to pierce these creatures with mental power before was undoubtedly quite wrong-until now, Lin Xi still felt as if his mind was contaminated with something sticky and filthy.

That's what's attached to the chaotic souls of these worms.

Xavier's tentacles dangled restlessly above his head.

"I could kill them all—don't be afraid."

It said dryly.

"I'm not scared, I'm just..."

Lin Xi said, but before he finished speaking, some mechanical monotonous whispers interrupted his answer.

"Help... help..."

"help me……"

"I don't want to die, please, help me..."

Lin Xi pressed her temples, and forced herself not to pay attention to those soft, wet, slug-like worms that used the imitation of the human head on their body to make those cries for help.

Lin Xi hoped that he could calm down. The worms blocking the command room made him feel bad.

Of course, besides those worms, what made him feel very uncomfortable was... and the stuff in his stomach.

Lin Xi involuntarily stretched out his hand again, and he held down his abdomen—the worm eggs breeding in his abdomen were wriggling restlessly, bringing a tingling pain that was completely indescribable in words.

The strong commotion caused a thin layer of cold sweat to emerge from Lin Xi's forehead...

He knew that it was the bad emotions he had before that stimulated these tiny lives.

The life conceived in his womb is eagerly wanting to be born.

They have been set as such little things since ancient times, they will hatch when the mother body is threatened, and become the most loyal soldiers to defend the life of the mother body.

However, Lin Xi was extremely resistant to such a thing—this kind of worm eggs, which were born purely to resist external threats, were consumables for failure.

Lin Xi stretched out her hand and slowly pressed Xavier's wings down.

He glanced at the worms that had gradually covered the entire observation window: no sanity, no wisdom, only the most basic and low-level instincts.

"Do not……"

Lin Xi whispered softly.

No matter what, he didn't want his family members to turn into that pathetic state.

However, just as he was trying to suppress the unceasing turmoil in his belly, another strong premonition hit him that almost made him collapse.

He almost fell to the ground.

"Lin Xi?"

Xavier immediately hugged Lin Xi, but its movements froze for a moment.

Lin Xi followed Xavier's gaze and looked at his abdomen - his abdomen swelled significantly.

"No, something is wrong..."

Lin Xi tightly hooked Xavier's neck with one hand, and he whispered to Xavier's ear, panting.

Those crowded and stiff faces still covered the observation window, and their gray eyes were staring intently at Lin Xi and Xavier in the room.

Lin Xi only glanced at the observation window, then withdrew her gaze.

Whether it is the eggs or himself, the reaction to these worms is too big, which is too strange-these worms are indeed quite disgusting, but Lin Xi, who has already dealt with them, knows very well that these things are not serious. too much of a threat.

At least, in front of Xavier, they are nothing but a group of soft meat that can be clearly cut into pieces.

So why... why did he have such a strong reaction?

At this moment, Lin Xi keenly felt that something was watching him.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the wall.

Sure enough, he saw a surveillance camera there.

As soon as Lin Xi's face changed, Xavier immediately noticed his thoughts.

The huge, ferocious king worm flew up lightly—then, it easily destroyed the monitoring probe.

However, the sound of electric current when the machine broke down did not make Lin Xi feel relieved. On the contrary, he felt that something in his body was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that he was almost out of breath.

"Well……"

He grunted.

In the next second, Lin Xi's face suddenly became extremely pale.

He felt... something... wriggling violently in his belly.
