mother of all races

The inexplicable sense of peeping that had always made Lin Xi very uncomfortable disappeared, which indicated that Hal was in trouble.

This is a good thing, but Lin Xi doesn't have the heart to greet this now.

With Xavier and Noah, he stepped over the broken metal wall, stood in the very center of the biological experiment field, and then stopped.

Just like this, he stood surrounded by monsters, bathed in the dark and fanatical gaze of those monsters.

"Lin Xi... hiss... Lin Xi... hiss... huh..."

A low hiss emerged from the monsters' throats.

Because the vast majority of individuals used as biological weapons have developmental deformities, their calls are extremely weird, and soon, the repeated calls changed from human language to another obscure long chant...

It sounds... like a sacrificial song that humans sang to the gods in ancient times...

Combined with the terrifying and pitiful hideous appearance of these man-made monsters, the singing voice was gradually imbued with a maddening meaning.Lin Xi listened to the overlapping calls quietly, her face gradually paled.

"Forest……"

Xavier seemed to grab him hard, trying to get him out of here.

But Lin Xi shook his head at Xavier in a trance.

Something...is...taking shape...

Lin Xi felt her instinct whispering in the depths of her body.

The chaotic and thin emotions like single-celled organisms gradually became thick and turbid, and the spirits of the man-made monsters expanded, extending to the entire Providence... to the entire planet...

Lin Xi could even clearly feel the eggs left in the cave on the cliff.

They fell into a deep dormancy without the hatching of the worm mother, but the weak life force in the darkness was as tenacious as fire from the ground...continuously...

He could also feel that in the most barren and coldest corner of this incomparably huge metal labyrinth, the alien species who barely survived on human corpses as food were about to move about in singing.

In the core area of ​​the USS Providence, tens of thousands of biological weapons were sealed in the cryogenic liquid, and the heartbeat and vital signs began to strengthen little by little...

In the end, countless deformed or complete heterogeneous consciousnesses were very closely linked together, turning into a torrent of consciousness, the tide engulfed everything, and the tide roared...

It was Arthur who fell first.

For the first few seconds, it seemed to retain its original consciousness.

The moment it saw Lin Xi, it could barely utter a few words of its own.

"Lin Xi, I..."

But then, its eyes became a little bit hollow.

"Lin Xi... hiss... Lin Xi... hiss... hiss..."

The chirping of insects became hoarse and rough.

That is the most primitive call, the infinite reverence and fanaticism of the family members for the mother of the heterogeneous species.

It is the desire to kill.

It is overwhelming fear, despair and greed... …

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Then it was Noah who entered a state of frenzy.

It suddenly twitched painfully, and the white nematodes that had reached a balance in its body began to squirm and proliferate crazily.In just a few seconds, Noah's body began to swell rapidly as if it had been filled with water. Its volume soared several times in a short period of time, and its semi-fluid body swelled as if it would burst in the next second.

In the end, even Xavier, who was in the most stable state, was a little strange. It opened its arms to protect Lin Xi's side, and then issued a warning threat to the approaching monsters around.

The claws, jointed limbs and thorns that had been incorporated into the body all emerged, and a pair of scarlet wings drilled out from under the skin on its back and slowly stretched out.

……

Compared to other alien species, Lin Xi is the most normal one.

He was just a little... at a loss.

He stared at what was happening in front of him in a daze, without any expression on his face.

The only change is probably his eyes. The human pupils have disappeared, and what fills his pupils are scarlet compound eyes belonging to insects.

The consciousness of the family members finally enveloped Lin Xi. According to the previous experience of dealing with those white nematodes, Lin Xi knew that she should feel extremely confused, even painful...

But the strange thing is that at this moment, Lin Xi felt that she had become calmer and clearer than ever before.

He felt that his soul seemed to have completely separated from the weak and limited body, and turned into another invisible thing, covering all the individuals of the family.

Everything is in his hands, everything is under his control.

This is his family...

Lin Xi thought inwardly.

The mother-of-breed instincts had taken full possession of his mind.

But he can still use the human soul to think and observe all the changes in himself.

He knew exactly what it was all about—

is the aggregation effect.

In a normal environment, most of the heterogeneous family members are like termites or ants. They have a clear division of labor in the nest and perform their duties.

However, at certain special times, such as when the mother of a different species is in a vulnerable state, or the whole group is under attack from other species, the whole group will quickly switch to a state of stress...

The spirits of all the families will be connected together, and the mother of the heterogeneous species will no longer be a single individual, but will become one with the entire group, and its will will become the collective will of all the groups...

then……

Countless ancient memories slowly seeped into Lin Xi's mind from the depths of the group consciousness of the family members.

Everything is so slow, and everything is so fast.

Lin Xi blinked.

In the next second, the strangeness of all the family members in the real world disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Noah calmed down in an instant, Xavier's jointed limbs and wings quickly retracted into his body, and the wound on Arthur's body caused by the experiment was filled with rapidly proliferating flesh and blood, and his body quickly returned to the most perfect state. state.

"Lin Xi!"

Arthur raised his arm awkwardly and looked at his limbs that had recovered, a pleasant smile gradually appeared on his pale face.

It let out a cheer, and then it flew towards Lin Xi like a bird.

Of course, it didn't touch Lin Xi, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by the extremely nervous Xavier.

"Go over there and stay—watch that guy."

Xavier threw the two little things he hated together and ordered with a serious face.

And Arthur didn't realize Noah until this time.

Although in terms of breath, Arthur instantly recognized Noah as his compatriot.

However, after seeing the white nematodes on Noah's body and its extremely soft body, Arthur still involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and his wings stood upside down.

"……Disgusting!"

Arthur whimpered.

And its replicas also made exactly the same actions at the same time.

"gross……"

Noah has been carefully observing the interaction between Arthur and Xavier.

It didn't quite understand what Arthur's actions at this moment meant.

However, seeing the other replicas making the same movement, it hesitated for a moment, then slowly and awkwardly repeated Arthur's words, and then squirmed its body back a few steps.

"Disgusting……"

Noah repeated the new words he had learned word by word.

And heard Noah's whisper.

Arthur's eyes sharpened instantly...

……

Xavier completely ignored the momentary tension between his theoretical first child and his theoretical younger brother.

It turned back nervously and observed Lin Xi.

Unlike Noah and Arthur, who lived by instinct most of the time, Xavier was a little different from birth.

The mental synchronization it experienced just now has made it impossible to completely calm down...

There is even a little fear.

Xavier would not miss what he felt at the moment of mental synchronization-the barbaric breath of the original worm mother on Lin Xi.

It has always been very afraid, even afraid that Lin Xi would become the most instinctive pet, but now...

"Lin Xi, just now..."

Xavier hesitated to speak.

Before it could forgive me, Lin Xi reached out and stroked Xavier gently.

"It's not what you think, you don't have to worry about me disappearing."

Lin Xi said softly.

"I just let myself go."

While speaking, Lin Xi raised her hand and looked at her palm.

"It was Noah... Noah gave me the answer."

In fact, at the moment when the spiritual torrent of all the alien species came, Lin Xi was afraid, even fearful. After all, he had suffered a lot in the previous confrontation with those white nematodes.

But at the moment when Lin Xi was about to fight against those consciousnesses, Lin Xi suddenly thought of Noah...

He was polluted when he was still in the mother's body, and Noah didn't have such a strong mental power to fight against the nematodes at all.

Yes, even Lin Xi thought that Noah would eventually be assimilated into that disgusting and low-level thing because of the mutual devouring of the white nematodes...

But later Noah used his own existence to prove that Lin Xi's judgment was wrong. Not only was it not degraded into a low-level creature, but it reached a perfect balance with the nematodes in his body...

"Actually, I've been wondering why I'm so weak..."

Lin Xi looked at his human palm and said softly as if talking to himself.

"I found the reason."

Lin Xi has always been afraid of the primitive instinct of the alien species in his body. After all, that instinct represents barbarism, savagery and absolute chaos, and his consciousness as a human being is so weak, as if he would be killed by the insect mother at any time. devoured by primal instincts.

However, when Lin Xi finally decided to learn from Noah and fully accept the primitive instinct of the worm mother, he realized...

"I am the real me now..."

"I am me, my family...my descendants...will also be part of me..."

The mother of all alien species has never occupied the universe by relying on the strength of the individual.

The reason why it is so terrifying is that it can connect all its groups together spiritually.

"The race of alien species... is actually the mother of alien species itself. Terrible, isn't it?"

Lin Xi whispered softly.

Xavier was stunned for a moment, but in the next second it followed its instinct and took a step forward to hug Lin Xi heavily.

"No matter what Lin Xi becomes, I will always only like you..."

It's like a simple and immature confession like a child.

Lin Xi froze in Xavier's arms for a moment, he looked at Xavier with a serious face in surprise, and then relaxed involuntarily.

It was at this time that he realized that he was not as calm as he thought...

However, as long as he hides in Xavier's arms like now, Lin Xi has an inexplicable calmness and security. He knows that what Xavier said is true.
