mother of all races

"Xavier!"

"Number One" stared at Lin Xi and said.

"name."

It uses a new word.

Lin Xi didn't understand its strange muttering, so he fell silent.

"Damn it, what the hell happened to me..."

He was very eager for someone to come here to help him answer his questions.

But obviously, he couldn't count on the "number one" in front of him.

"Lin...Lin Xi...?"

"Number One" stood there nervously, looked at Lin Xi in a daze, and muttered softly, still using Savile's voice.

Its wings fluttered slightly behind it, showing its uneasiness.

Lin Xi couldn't help looking at it.

The insect body covered with thin skin is still so ferocious and terrifying, but its upper body has completely transformed into a human appearance, and the rest of the body still looks exactly the same as those mutated carnivorous insects.

However, compared with Lin Xi's impression, "No. [-]" has many more serious wounds on his body.

Some of those wounds have healed, but many more are still fresh.

One of the scars almost ran through most of the body of "Number One". There were obvious dents on its arms and waist, as if a large piece of flesh had been forcibly dug out and then healed. .

These mottled wounds make "Number One" look weird and evil, and Savile's handsome, gentle, flawless face is increasingly out of place and very abrupt on the scarred body.

Lin Xi felt that there must be something wrong with him, otherwise... why did he seem to be able to recall the smell of the other party's fresh flesh after seeing those wounds?

At the moment Lin Xi thought so, some blurred images suddenly broke into his mind.

That is... that is the picture of him lying on "No. [-]" and wantonly biting the opponent's body.

Occasionally there seemed to be his howling in the utter confusion.

【I don't want this person...I don't want to...】

"Well……"

Lin Xi lowered her head and gasped again because of the sudden pain.

As soon as "Number One" noticed Lin Xi's abnormality, he immediately approached him again.

It held Lin Xi in its arms, and after hesitating for a while, it put its human arm to Lin Xi's lips.

Lin Xi subconsciously showed his teeth towards that arm - he felt something popping out from under his gums.

He couldn't help but startled at the weird feeling, and the organs in his throat and under his teeth shrank back in an instant.

"Number One" flinched slightly under his lips.

"Lin Xi...you will be fine..."

it said softly.

Still using Savile's tone.

It's just that his tone sounded strange.

Lin Xi couldn't help being in a daze for a moment, and then remembered that this was what Savile on the holographic projector had said to him.

Lin Xi didn't know how "Number One" did it... The alien monster in front of him parroted the recorded voices of Savile, but he didn't know what the subtle tone was. It represents something, so every word he said reveals an unprecedented subtlety and weirdness.

The feeling of headache gradually subsides.

Lin Xi didn't move for a long time.

"Number One" looked at him a little helplessly.

"Lin Xi...Lin Xi?"

At first it still used Savile's voice, but soon, the vague tone unique to "Number One" came out.

Lin Xi panted heavily, struggling in the arms of "Number One".

"let me go--"

Lin Xi said.

More memories are gradually emerging in his mind.

He finally remembered that this was not the first time he had been sober, but in the past few times, the strong sense of hunger and emptiness almost completely took away his mind.He could only keep admonishing "Number One" during the few seconds when he was barely awake, don't let "Him" eat human corpses, don't let "Him" go to Bryce and Alyssa, Or anyone else on this ship...

And outside of this few moments, the only thing Lin Xi could think of was chaos and frenzy, and when he was in that kind of outright animal nature, "No. [-]" would prepare alienated monsters and monsters for him. It acts as a source of nourishment by itself.

On several occasions, he even almost swallowed Number One.

"Number One" looked so docile and quiet under his body, but when "He" was gnawing on its limbs, it opened its human eyes and whimpered several times ridiculously.

Under such sight, Lin Xi woke up for a few seconds and then drove "No. [-]" away.

For the second time, the man's facial features gradually appeared on the cheeks of "Number One".

Perhaps it was because "No. [-]" had already discovered that Lin Xi's evil and indifferent heart was only slightly touched when he saw that the person he was stalking had the face of Savile.

He will "wake up" very briefly, and then leave the life of "Number One".

After going through this for several times, "Number One" became more and more like Savile, and even began to imitate his behavior.

"God..."

Lin Xi mumbled to herself while holding her head.

He was sick of the images that flashed through his mind.

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Xi suddenly raised her head and murmured to "No. [-]".

"...I really didn't mean it, I'm just... sorry."

Lin Xi simply didn't know how to face the giant bug that made his scalp tingle.

"Number One" still looked a little dazed.

It seemed that it took a long time to realize that Lin Xi's condition had stabilized..."He" had exchanged the dominance with Lin Xi, and had already fallen into a long deep sleep at this moment.

"I am so happy."

It opened its mouth in surprise, as if planning to say something

"I am so happy."

"Number One" said happily in Savile's tone.

Lin Xi's whole body trembled suddenly, almost crying.

Knowing that it was only "Number One" who started imitating Savile's voice out of survival instinct, but heard the voice of that person he hadn't heard for a long, long time... Now listening to the familiar whispers repeating in his ears, Lin Xi trembled suddenly, almost crying.

However, the ferocious body of "No. [-]" also reminded him over and over again: it is not Savile at all.

Savile was already dead.

And he himself... turned into a monster that even had to devour his own kind to survive.

Thinking of this, a strange emotion suddenly rushed into Lin Xi's heart, almost driving him crazy.

"Lin Xi?"

"Number One" seemed to have noticed something, and it suddenly became alert.

"It's okay..." Lin Xi murmured, carefully lowering his eyes to avoid looking directly at "No. [-]".

Lin Xi forced himself to put his mind back to what he should focus on now.

For example, how long has he been in that half-awake, half-mad state, and where is he now.

Oh, yes, and most importantly...

Those horrible insects wrapped in pouches.

Now Lin Xi has a little understanding of her current identity.

Well, what those crew members and those around him who kept emphasizing his death turned out to be true.

"Mother of all races."

Lin Xi whispered.

He kept chewing on the name, feeling a little cold behind his back.

Those people once said that he would reproduce countless insects, and his memory when he was crazy, "reproduction" is indeed an important thing that occupies his brain.

Could these fat, wriggling giant worms be—

Lin Xi looked at the worms in horror.

"Oh no."

His eyes darkened a little.

These extremely disgusting things should not be...

No, no... not...

Lin Xi desperately kept digging in her vague memory.

There were a few times when "Number One" really couldn't restrain his instincts, and obeyed the call of "His".

But in the end, for some reason that Lin Xi still can't understand, it gritted its teeth and ran away.

And the worms hanging there now were the things that hatched from the remaining eggs in the egg case.

As for where he is now, in fact, he had seen it with his own eyes long before this.

That remote corridor where countless mutated monsters gathered.

Lin Xi struggled a bit, he staggered to his feet, and walked forward.

Sure enough, from a little further away, "Lin Xi" saw countless human beings in the vesicles wrapped in jelly-of course, perhaps using "human" to describe them is not so appropriate.

Those people who had already been severely alienated had now turned into all kinds of hideous insects.

"..."

Lin Xi stopped her steps.

He stared blankly at everything in front of him, almost out of breath.

The spirit of "His" was still clamoring in his body, ready to move.

These are its family members.

Lin Xi couldn't help thinking.

But the strange thing is that even at this point, he still can't seem to accept this—something must have gone wrong.

Lin Xi couldn't help thinking.

Suddenly, a slight touch came from a distance, as if an invisible hand gently touched his nerves.

Lin Xi suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of his head.

……

Tens of meters above Lin Xi, there is a corridor that has been dyed red by blood and monster's mucus.

Bryce and Alyssa are trying to escape.

The rustling sound of giant insects in motion seemed to be right behind their heels.

Bryce raised his arm without looking back, raised the gun from his armpit and shot directly at the damn things behind him.

Those things hardly look like monsters alienated from humans. They seem to be native creatures on the as192 planet-with shriveled and withered bodies and dense black and yellow insect legs , on the hard and shiny reddish-brown head like a helmet, inlaid with these densely packed jet-black eyeballs.

The two long tentacles flicked back and forth on both sides of the cheeks like whips, welcoming the bright breath left by humans.

Their bite force is very strong (Bryce saw with his own eyes that it directly crushed the back cover engine of a car when he was fleeing for his life. It has surpassed the mechanical dog-Alyssa and Bryce planned to hide before, but these damn things were able to find them both directly.

The only thing that makes Bryce feel a little better is that the carapace of this monster is not very thick, even with a less powerful pulse gun, it can easily shoot the heads of those bugs into pieces.

But they're as numerous as the cockroaches in someone's kitchen, and they're almost everywhere.

"damn it……"

And Bryce and Alisa have been chased by these things for a long time, and almost exhausted their last bit of energy.

Worst of all, the energy value of the gun in Bryce's hand has reached the lowest level.

"Alyssa!"

Bryce only glanced at the gun that had started to alarm in his hand, and then decisively threw it on the road.

"crunch--"

Almost in the next second, he heard the sound of the pulse gun being chewed into pieces in the mouthparts of those monsters.

"I'm out of bullets too—"

Needless to say, Alisa beside him also shouted.

Bryce took the time to glance at the woman beside him while running wildly. Alyssa's face was extremely gray and depressed. Although she could barely keep up with his pace, her footsteps gradually showed a little faltering.

It has been more than a week since I separated from Lin Xi...

After losing their personal terminal, Bryce and Alyssa hid in the spaceship without the alternation of the sun and the moon, and the estimation of the time has become very vague.

However, the wound on Alisa's neck still hasn't healed.

Maybe it was an infection, or it could be chronic overtiredness and hunger.

She has been suffering from repeated fevers, and she is now so thin that she is almost out of shape.

"We can't go on like this, we have to find a way!"

Bryce struggled.

At this moment, the metal ceiling in front of him suddenly made a crisp sound.

Another hideous-looking monster fell directly from the pipe above their heads.

"Hiss..."

A hiss that had been tired of hearing in the past time came from the monster's deformed mouth.

"Find... Alyssa... Bryce..."

Then, Alisa and Bryce actually heard a human voice.

Only then did they realize that the monster in front of them was still in the form of a human being—a swollen human face was piled up on top of the huge fangs like a tumor, and the eyeballs had now turned into slender eyestalks. Holding the dark pupil dangling on both sides of the cheek.

A few days ago, Alyssa and Bryce would probably still be shuddering or sick at the guy's horrific appearance.

But now, after countless chases and dodges, they see it and nothing but delight.

"We need to find that guy's wrist—maybe the personal terminal is still on it!"

Alyssa pulled herself together and shouted.

Both of them had good luck this time.

The half-human, half-worm monster that appeared in front of them was indeed wearing a personal terminal.

The part that was originally a human arm has now turned into a few slender fleshy flagella-like tentacles, evenly distributed on both sides of the man's body.

And the personal terminal, already covered with mucus, is at the root of that clump of flagella.

Bryce took a deep breath, he and Alyssa exchanged glances, and then ran towards both sides of the monster.

And just as they expected, the monster that became obviously more stupid and dull after the mutation froze in place instantly, and its two eyeballs followed the steps of Alisa and Bryce respectively.

It was precisely because of this that it didn't have time to respond to the outright monsters following the two unlucky humans.

Those centipede-like monsters immediately got entangled with it.

Taking this opportunity, Bryce risked his life, took the opportunity to rush over, and tore the personal terminal off the monster's body.

It's just that his luck seems to have been used in this move.

In the next second, God stingily withdrew his pity for Bryce—Bryce slipped on the back of the half-human, half-worm monster, and he fell down.

"His-"

The disgusting and deformed human face turned around 180 degrees like a tumor, and its expressionless eyes were aimed directly at Bryce.

In the next second, its chin was pulled directly to its own neck (if that part can still be called a neck), and a slender but sharp enough stylet directly popped out of its mouth——

"Bryce—"

Alisa let out a scream.

From anyone's point of view, Bryce will definitely die this time.

The thing's stylet could easily pierce Bryce's skull and suck his brains out like pudding.

but……

"Crack-"

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

The half-human, half-worm monster had its head crushed by another monster.

For a brief moment, the monster seemed to look at Bryce.

"Bryce, go!"

Alisa had already rushed over at this time, she hugged Bryce, then quickly left the monster that had already got her prey, and ran towards the other end of the corridor.

However, what makes her feel somewhat strange is that...

The monsters should have been chasing the two of them in time, but they suddenly stopped and stopped far behind them.

Then this extraordinarily precious breathing time.

In a panic, Alisa swiped open the metal hatch closest to her with the personal terminal of that unlucky human being, then staggered and fell in.
