mother of all races

Along with Lin Xi's whisper, the light in the rest space began to flicker as if unstable.

After a few seconds, the holographic projection function was stopped, and the pure white, narrow and monotonous resting space showed its most primitive appearance in front of Lin Xi.

Only the small pool in the corner of the room is still misty and emits warm water vapor.

"...hot springs can effectively relieve the stress accumulated by pregnant women during long-term space travel, and can also help pregnant women give birth..."

The moment Lin Xi looked at the pool in a daze, a rectangular projection board slowly fell, and the dull electronic woman continued to speak extremely rigidly on the screen.

It's just that at this time, Lin Xi can more or less hear the hidden breath conveyed to him by Scripps from the words that have been selected and pieced together.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Scripps is indeed quite positive about the fact that Lin Xi gave birth to his first descendant.

Lin Xi couldn't help feeling a faint subtle emotion.

"I don't understand why you care so much about my descendants..."

Lin Xi looked at the woman in red on the projection and said.

But the strong discomfort finally made Lin Xi slowly enter the hot spring according to Streeps' expectations.

"Whoa..."

The sound of water rippling.

Because of worrying about Lin Xi and the strange looking hot spring pool, Xavier entered the water with Lin Xi.

The humid and warm environment made the child in Lin Xi's womb a little more stable.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt Xavier's scorching gaze. The man was looking straight at Lin Xi. Because of the heat, Lin Xi's skin was pink, and his relaxed face was even more intense. It made Xavier involuntarily fall into a trance.

"Xavier?"

Lin Xi opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then a faint heat quickly hit Lin Xi's cheeks.

When Xavier looked like a big bug before, Lin Xi had never felt a similar feeling, whether it was naked in front of it, or the relationship between him and Xavier was enough to make ordinary humans completely lose their minds. Whether it is the combination of the two, it is an extremely natural thing for Lin Xi.

(Of course, he also has to admit that if the time goes back to before the Helios crash landing, if he knows that he will be with such a terrifying bug one day, he will probably choose to kill himself directly.)

But ever since Xavier degenerated into such an extremely handsome and strong man, many of its characteristics as a king worm have become somewhat "obvious".

It is so obvious that it can even arouse some uneasiness, shyness and emotion that belong to human beings deep in Lin Xi's heart.

"I like...I like Lin Xi..."

Xavier murmured.

Unknowingly, the distance between it and Lin Xi is getting closer and closer, as if it could kiss Lin Xi's lips in the next second——

【"ZiZi...ZiZi%..."】

At this moment, that damp and viscous sound sounded.

Lin Xi's face turned pale, and his body shook suddenly.

"it hurts--"

Lin Xi said in pain, his whole body softened all of a sudden, he hugged his head tightly, and tried his best to suppress the sudden mental attack.

It's those... those nematodes...

They are rampaging in Lin Xi's spirit, releasing the frantic, tyrannical, but extremely pure nostalgia.

Lin Xi was so painful that she could hardly speak.

At the same time, Xavier suddenly turned around to face the closed door, his eyes suddenly turned a gloomy scarlet.

At the same moment, the previously lowered screen flickered, and some slightly distorted images appeared.

That is the real-time monitoring record outside the rest area.

Lin Xi was shocked to see those weird things gathered at the door, which were the human-faced worms he had seen before.

Lin Xi still remembered that worm. After all, the head mimicry of a girl on that worm was really fresh in his memory.

It's just that Lin Xi is very sure that the one that appears outside the door now...is definitely not the one she knew.

Because inside the translucent body of that worm, countless things can be faintly seen swarming and wriggling... The tumbling white traces are the bodies of those nematodes.

——After this thing devoured the human-faced worm, its body was glued together, and then formed a layer of near-perfect mimicry.

And now, their mimicry is the very worms they devour.

They even imitated the most distinctive features of those human-faced worms.

"Please help me, please help me..."

Sharp, eerie, goosebump-inducing vocals.

The monitoring system accurately transmitted the screams simulated by the white nematodes into the room, and Lin Xi felt like she was about to vomit.

"Hiss..."

Xavier's thick back blocked Lin Xi.

"Don't be afraid."

Lin Xi heard Xavier talking to him carefully.

"I'm not afraid……"

Lin Xi bit her lip and responded.

He just had a bad premonition.

Those imitated by white nematodes have a higher IQ than the master.

After finding that no one responded to them, the mimicked "worms" became extremely restless, and their soft bodies kept wriggling and rubbing outside the tightly closed door.

Stream after stream of mucus slowly fell along the metal door along the place where their bodies crawled.

A few wisps of inconspicuous blue smoke rose from the ground, which was that their slime was corroding the metal.

After noticing this, Lin Xi involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Xavier.

those acids...

He thought of Xavier's previous method of dealing with those nematodes, and his chest became heavier little by little.

He never thought that those guys could completely replicate Xavier's ability to secrete acid in such a short period of time.

And just as Lin Xi was staring at the "worms" intently, a mechanical foot suddenly stepped forward and crushed the "worms" body.

Countless nematodes suddenly spread out, rustling out of the mimicked shell, scattered on the ground and writhing non-stop.

But Lin Xi's attention was not on those nematodes at this time, but on... the thing that crushed them.

At the very beginning, Lin Xi didn't even recognize what it was.

They have strange bodies, the upper body looks like clusters of tumors that seem to have festered together, and under those tumors, slender metal tentacles protrude.

If it weren't for the electronic eyes belonging to the mechanical warrior in the gap between the wriggling flesh, Lin Xi would never have thought that the huge thing in front of him turned out to be the mechanical warrior...

Is there a mistake?Lin Xi was simply shocked.

At this moment, he could finally realize why Streeps had used such a violent way to burn the nematodes before, without even considering that the high temperature might harm him and Xavier.

This nematode, which was genetically modified based on the offspring of the previous generation of worm mothers, has the special ability to attach and transform machinery.

Those mechanical warriors have now become special individuals that are half biological and half mechanical.

Even if you think about it with your eyes closed, those "mechanical warriors" are now much more difficult to deal with than before.

【"Mother...Mother..."】

The white nematodes entrenched inside the mechanical soldier's helmet imitated one weird human face after another, and they kept shouting towards the interior of the hatch with their wide open and twisted lips.

Immediately afterwards, the mechanical warrior made a move, and the tentacles nimbly protruded towards the metal hatch. The small cutting machine at the top landed directly on the outer door of the lounge, and bursts of sparks burst out from the metal.

The situation is very bad, but Lin Xi has no way to resist now.

His body fell back heavily, and his whole body fell into the warm water waves.

The severe pain in his abdomen hit him, almost making him doubt his own life.

In his heterogeneous memory, no worm mother has ever experienced such great pain-after all, reproduction is their most basic instinct...

But now he is enduring the unparalleled pain of childbirth just like a human female.

A few seconds later, Lin Xi smelled a fishy and sweet smell.

The translucent mucus seeped into the warm pool water, and immediately after, a strong smell of blood came out.

And then... the pain that almost tore people's nerves came to an abrupt end.

Lin Xi felt that her body suddenly became extraordinarily light, as if she was about to float in the next second.

Lin Xi looked down at her body in shock...

For a brief moment, he was almost beyond comprehension.

What exactly is that...

Before the thing could react to it, Xavier had already rushed over first.

It grabbed Lin Xi, hugged him, and dragged him out of the warm pool.

Then it stood in front of Lin Xi, sending out a series of rapid and high-pitched warning calls to their newest child.

that kid...

It looks very, very incomprehensible.

Lin Xi thought he had already prepared himself mentally—his children were forced to hatch early because of the danger from the outside world, and that was the worst case scenario.

He would produce a nest of dense, tough, wriggling little bugs from his body.

But the child he saw now was even more insane than the densely clustered bugs.

Lin Xi didn't even know how to describe that thing, it was a large group of fresh flesh and blood that suddenly kept wriggling and expanding.

It looks more like some kind of slime mold...or it's more like a symbiosis formed by the entanglement of countless tiny worms.

Under Lin Xi's gaze, the surface of this brand new descendant's body boiled rapidly. Lin Xi clearly saw countless fine eyeballs suddenly turning over on the surface of the scarlet flesh, and the mouthparts of insects popped out. They are being combined one by one.

But this thing is a whole, not countless individuals.

Lin Xi knew this because after it was born, that strong will was directly reflected in his soul.

mother

The other party kept calling in his consciousness, and released his nostalgia to Lin Xi.

Then, it slowly rushed towards Lin Xi...

Lin Xi took a step back involuntarily, and then subconsciously looked at the monitoring screen at the door that Scripps provided him.

The worms and nematodes there are trying to open the hatch of the lounge.

It has to be said that at this moment, Lin Xi faintly felt that there seemed to be a certain similarity between her newborn child and those terrifying nematodes outside the door.
