King from scratch

The black liquid that was thrown away slowly squirmed on the deck, as if the scene of a living creature was very strange.

Once the two points of "the culprit of the mutation is a group of Zerg in the shape of small black dots" and "biological mutations spread through contact", this slightly weird scene instantly became terrifying.

"Fuck! Don't come here!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Help!"

Wang Xuan and Wang Lun who quickly shrank to the corner of the black liquid diagonally screamed, Wu Xing and the others didn't look very good, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple flashing in the stiffness.

The people who left the deck for the first time watched this scene in the air - the black liquid wriggled blankly, and the players who kicked the black liquid away just now hugged and screamed...

I always feel that something is not right.

Fortunately, the few remaining players are masters, and they quickly reacted in screams.

Du Kang spoke slowly, with a firm tone: "They have nothing to do with us."

Wu Xing followed up and said, "The player is immune to this mutation."

As a result, the panicked atmosphere returned to peace. Wang Xuan and the others looked around the small puddle of black liquid moving on the deck with probing eyes. Looking carefully, it was the same as the black liquid that the player saw in the mermaid incident. The liquid is exactly the same.

The npc's previous vague conversations, the conclusion that the situation was worse in the Coral Kingdom, and the abnormal behavior of the lost Dudoran not using toxins flashed through Luye's mind, connecting everything together.

Luye's tone was a little trance: "The root cause of the mutation is caused by Zerg parasitism and control of the host?"

Huge waves sounded, beating the ship.

I don't know when, the blue sea was dyed into pitch black.

The two parties who were fighting to the death just now turned their heads to stare at these "outsiders" expressionlessly.

"Although the biological mutation on the top of the mountains and the biological mutation in the South China Sea are both caused by Zerg, they cannot be classified into the same category."

The young great scientist leaned forward, staring intently at the light screen on which the words emerged, his attention fully focused on the speaker.

In fact, it is very difficult for someone to be half-hearted when the other party is talking. After all, this is a man whose name alone is enough to make people feel infinitely emotional.

Li Wang, one of the founders of the Safa Federation, one of the founders of science, and the ruler of the Safa Federation.

This is the first time that He Xingwen met the other party, separated by a long distance, with a light screen—even a light screen without the other party's image.

Li Wang's voice is still extremely clear across a long distance, knowledge flows between his words, science dances for him, rational, determined, calm, and unwavering.

He didn't come to report the progress of the federation's research on mutated creatures, but to inform He Xingwen of the answer to the question.

If it is said that He Xingwen had some vague guesses about Li Wang's appearance under those dazzling halos before, then at this moment, all of them have turned into the appearance of a scientist.

Li Wang's talent on this road allowed him to go farther than anyone else, and his halo added to him, so much so that it gave rise to countless guesses.

Pure people may not be able to become researchers due to lack of talent, but impure people must not be able to go so far on this road.

To explore the world and look into the distance, you need to concentrate and go all out.

After the first report of the observation team of the Salfa Federation on the status of the mutant creatures on the top of the mountains was sent back to the Federation, Li Wang took over the rest of the research - through the investigation of the corpses of the mutant creatures sent back to the Federation Research, and observations from remote-controlled mountain tops, came to a conclusion after a few days, putting an end to pointless speculation.

The text on the light screen gradually decreased, and the proportion of data and pictures gradually increased.

Li Wang: "First of all, let us return to the origin of everything, Zerg."

"The Zerg race is the most aggressive civilization among the civilizations bordering us recently. Their civilization is built on the Zerg Mother. The Zerg Mother determines the progress of the entire civilization. She controls the reproduction of the entire race. As long as the Zerg Mother still exists, The Zerg wouldn't die, so it's not hard to explain why the Zerg reappeared because their mother was still alive."

"When they first bordered us, the appearance of the Zerg was completely different from what it is today. The Zerg can efficiently adapt to the environment and change its own shape genes. They are natural conquerors. The change of the race of the conquered object will prompt the Zerg to adjust their genes."

"After the Zerg was defeated, they learned their lesson, which is embodied in the mutant creatures we face today."

"After understanding the basic characteristics of the Zerg, we can further explain why the mutated creatures in the South China Sea and the top of the mountains cannot be classified into the same category."

"The simplest reason is that they evolved in different directions."

"The mutated creatures on the top of the mountains are highly aggressive, and most of the mutations occur in the point of changing the characteristics of the creatures, so that the creatures have more powerful attack capabilities."

"The mutated creatures in the South China Sea are highly aggressive, but the mutation has almost no change in the characteristics of the creatures. Their mutated effect is to create new mutated creatures faster."

"The more complicated reason is that the mutated creatures on the top of the mountains are a slow development process, but the mutated creatures in the South China Sea are an accelerated development process.

The difference is that the South China Sea was once the battlefield of the Zerg, and the Zerg had never set foot on the top of the mountains. "

"I noticed that the Kingdom has handled the mutated creatures on the top of the mountains very well. This kind of mutation that does not light up the high infectious ability will soon disappear from the top of the mountains according to the kingdom's extermination speed... "Li Wang paused: "Of course, the premise is that it has not come into contact with the Zerg in the South China Sea."

"Contact between Zergs is an effective behavior to accelerate evolution - even if it is just a corpse, it is enough for Zergs to acquire relevant genes."

"The most important thing is the mutated creature in the South China Sea. Obviously, it found our weakness from the corpses of the last bug swarm, and then developed a targeted attack method—that is, 'highly contagious'."

"In fact, it would be more accurate to call it parasitism versus control.

The Zerg gave up their huge size and strong combat effectiveness, and chose a small and no combat effectiveness, in order to achieve the purpose of parasitism more conveniently. "

"From the previous description of the situation, the parasitism of the Zerg seems to be a kind of symbiosis, but in fact, a new control system constructed by the Zerg is established within the parasite.

This kind of symbiosis will lead to the complete death of the host when the Zerg leaves the host body.

But when the control system built by the Zerg has not yet collapsed, the host can still 'live' as usual. "

He Xingwen clicked on the information reserve center, and his eyes stopped on the column of Hai under the information of the kingdom's people. The word status: injured was listed there.

He Xingwen's expression was not very good: "So, the change in the South China Sea is..."

"The Zerg is parasitic and controls the host."

He Xingwen: "The so-called high infectivity is..."

"The Zerg enters another intelligent creature through contact, breaks down the original control system of the intelligent creature, and builds the control system of the Zerg."

He Xingwen: "The original control system of intelligent creatures..."

Lee Wang chose a simpler word to describe it: "brain."

So, the Zerg eat the host's brain and make new ones?

After He Xingwen stopped asking questions, the scene was quiet for a while.

He Xingwen took a deep breath and continued to ask, "So, it's impossible to bring back a corpse?"

"Unless you want to bring those bugs back to the mainland."

He Xingwen: "With so much bad news, there must be some good news, right?"

Li Wang: "Indeed, congratulations to you for discovering the existence of Zerg before the South China Sea fell completely."

Imagine the situation that will be faced after the South China Sea falls completely, which is indeed enough to make people deeply grateful for this, but the problem is that even if the South China Sea does not fall, the problem is already so difficult that it makes people headache.

Probably seeing that He Xingwen was unmoved by the good news, Li Wang continued: "The federation will develop attack and capture methods for this characteristic of the Zerg as soon as possible. Before that, I noticed that there seems to be Part of it is connected to the South China Sea?"

He Xingwen sat upright: "The kingdom's sea area is indeed connected to the South China Sea."

"I'm not sure how much Father God's protection can achieve on the territory of the kingdom, but to put hope in the aftermath of the dead, it's better for the kingdom to completely block the area leading to the South China Sea."

This is the first aborigine that He Xingwen met, who calmly accepted the death of the father god. Other aborigines almost all responded to the miracles that happened in the kingdom's territory with the attitude of "the father god may be resurrected".

This reminded He Xingwen of the conflict between the Arcane Academy and the Salfa Federation, partly due to the Federation's attitude towards the Father God.

Not only do they have no faith, they even deny the unique part of the concept of God, which they regard as the power that intelligent creatures can achieve.

This thought came to He Xingwen's mind, and he returned to the topic: "I thought they were in the south of the South China Sea?"

Li Wang didn't argue with others about such a topic that didn't need to be answered. He changed the topic: "The observation team found different parts near the mutant creatures on the top of the mountains. I have seen the structure of these parts."

He Xingwen put his hand on his chin and asked inexplicably, "How is it?"

"Rough, inefficient, and wasteful." After the unsurprising criticism, it was an unexpected affirmation: "Unexpected."

"In fact, I have always thought that dwarves are very suitable for the Federation," Li Wang said: "They are the original inventors. Although they lack relevant theories and research, their rich experience and understanding of forging endow them with unexpected creativity. .”

"Our ideas briefly overlapped for the analysis of etheric signals."

This sentence came out of Li Wang's mouth, which can almost be called an unparalleled compliment.

He Xingwen was a little surprised: "Ether Matrix?"

Li Wang also seemed to be a little interested in his opinion on this: "What do you think of the ether matrix?"

He Xingwen's answer was decisive: "A miracle can only be created by a genius."

This is his heartfelt emotion. Human beings can reach Li Wang's level by virtue of their talents, which deserves all exaggerated praise.

Finally, there were traces of a long time in the rational voice: "Say something else, I have heard these words too much."

He Xingwen was silent for two seconds. He had chatted with the system on this topic before, and he was deeply impressed by the system's answer.

He was silent for a long time.

"It sounds like you have some unusual comments." Li Wang: "Why don't you share them?"

He Xingwen picked and picked, and said something to say: "You are almost at the end of your ether research."

"The end of ether research..." Li Wang: "The research is endless."

"When humans don't see the end, it is indeed endless." He Xingwen said: "But since the father who created the ether can fall, then it naturally has an end."

Li Wang: "It sounds like you know the scenery at the end?"

He Xingwen didn't know, but the system did.

What is the end of the ether?

He Xingwen repeated the system's previous answer: "Why can't it be science?"

The conversation suddenly fell into silence.

Until the other party spoke again: "My science is based on the ether. Without the ether, there would be nothing like this."

All the inventions and theories of Li Wang are based on the ether, what drives those inventions is the ether, and the basis of all the theories is the existence of the ether.

Of course, because he lives in a world where ether is everywhere.

"Just casually," He Xingwen brought back the topic of running away: "Let's talk about the ether signal. The dwarves' use and understanding of it are not as good as yours, so they just faithfully restored the information to the elementary level. form of interpretation."

Li Wang was a little absent-minded: "I knew it when I saw those parts, observing the world?"

It is not surprising that the opponent can restore the purpose of the dwarves from a few parts.

He Xingwen got straight to the point, throwing out the news he learned from the dwarves last time: "The crystal towers of the submarine civilization are losing energy for no reason."

Li Wang answered this question absent-mindedly: "Evolution takes time, and enough energy must be accumulated. The difference in evolution between the Zerg in the South China Sea and the Zerg on the top of the mountains is so large, which is directly related to the existence of those crystal towers."

"Zergs ate up those crystal towers?" He Xingwen realized that the reason why Zergs border this world is because they ate up their own world...

Eating everything to gain energy is their old line.

Li Wang was puzzled by He Xingwen's series of questions: "From the beginning, you have regarded the Zerg as one of the problems you have to deal with, but you should be clear that this is a problem in the South China Sea, and you seem to take it for granted. Responsible for everything that happens in the world."

Li Wang: "I've heard about the kingdom's recent moves, and I've also heard a lot of speculation about the kingdom, so..."

He Xingwen was waiting for the other party to ask a question that many people had asked him - about the delicate relationship between him and God the Father.

But this time, he got a different response.

"If you have any doubts about your relationship with the Father God, the Federation is happy to cooperate with you further—the part about the Father God."

It seems that the other party is very sure that the Father God has already died, and the idea that He Xingwen may be the Father God has never appeared at all.

He Xingwen thought for two seconds, and suddenly realized: "Before the kingdom, the Federation should have analyzed God the Father? I am curious about the conclusion you have drawn."

"You already know, don't you?" Li Wang said calmly: "The powerful existence that intelligent creatures can achieve."

He Xingwen's heart suddenly beat violently.

Prior to this, regarding the conflict between the Arcane Academy and the Salfa Federation, He Xingwen took it for granted as a difference in research attitudes between the two.

As an atheist living on Earth, He Xingwen is no stranger to the idea that God does not exist - atheism does not need to prove that God does not exist in order to exist.

So he never thought, with the rigor of the federation, under what circumstances they would firmly believe in this.

Li Wang didn't feel that he said anything serious. He seemed to think that He Xingwen should also know this for granted, so he ended the conversation very naturally after finishing the next sentence.

"I'm starting to be interested in what is the end of ether research." Li Wang's tone was completely calm: "Science created ether? This point of view is very interesting."

The communication ends here.

He Xingwen's head was full of thought storms, and he couldn't calm down in a short time.

When the others left the conference room, He Xingwen turned his attention to the system.

"Science creates ether...did I say that?"

"The end of the ether is science." The system reminded him: "I thought you knew that it meant the same thing."

The figure of "the main console of the game" suddenly appeared in He Xingwen's mind.

A rigid program.

part of God the Father.

Coupled with the conclusion of the Federation on the Father God: a powerful existence that intelligent creatures can achieve.

He Xingwen and Guangying looked at each other for several short and long minutes, and said, "So, Father God is an intelligent life?"

"I'm afraid not," the system said, "The simplest point is, if Father God is an intelligent life, then it is impossible for this world to encounter a dark age."

He Xingwen was convinced.

It is only because we know the system that we can be sure of this.

He Xingwen understands the extent to which intelligent creatures can achieve. Countless optimal solutions can outline the best path, instead of stumbling towards destruction like this world, so that the Father needs to use death to find a glimmer of life.

"So God the Father is really just intelligent beings?" This is even more incredible than the answer to intelligent life.

"It sounds like you have expelled the race of gods from the concept of intelligent creatures." System: "But they are indeed intelligent creatures."

This sentence was so familiar that He Xingwen was silent for a few seconds, recalling the source of the familiarity from his memory.

The scene of Huang talking to him emerged from memory.

【"King, before gods become gods, they are just one of thousands of creatures."

"And after they became gods, they just changed from thousands of creatures to one of those creatures."]

He Xingwen was stunned for two seconds, a thought flashed by and then disappeared.

He turned the topic back: "But God the Father is not the same as other gods."

Not all gods can create such a huge world, let alone all gods can create ether.

When Li Wang's conclusion arrived in the South China Sea, the expedition team was fleeing in all directions.

The thought of bringing back the missing Du Doran completely disappeared from the minds of the members of the expedition team the moment the water turned black.

Although they don't have such a clear understanding of these bugs right now, they don't need to have such a clear understanding of not having contact with it.

Anyone with eyes can see how dangerous these bugs are from the scene of the underwater creatures turning their heads silently and unanimously to look at them.

"Stay away from the sea!" Anuta took out the communicator and immediately informed Ai Zhijin of the news.

Tuol Jin hovered in the air, staring at the players below: "Who will go down and give them a ride?"

Kenti made a decisive decision: "Let them commit suicide and return to the kingdom."

"These bugs seem to have no way to deal with the player." Tuo Erjin did not agree with Ken's suggestion: "They haven't reached the point where they can affect the ether."

"If it really reaches the point where it can affect the ether, then let's surrender directly." Kenti muttered.

"It's as if it's the way it is now, and we'll take them as if they have a solution." Norman Jin said to the point.

Duoti was thoughtful: "Maybe the player can stop..."

A huge wave came over again, the huge ship kept shaking, a part of the hull was smashed by the huge wave, the black sea surged onto the deck, submerged the player, the water receded, and the player was carried back into the sea.

"The purpose is very clear." Anuta retracted the communicator and said, "They are capturing intelligent creatures that cannot be controlled within a short period of time."

Yan was thoughtful: "Judging from the huge water tank of the mermaid, the parasitism of the Zerg is not an immediate process. They need time and enough contact, so there are those water tanks."

Kenti added: "Then make sure that the successful hosts can bring the Zerg back to their habitat and expand the range of Zerg parasitism."

"So, they purposefully captured intelligent creatures..."

"It sounds like these bugs are not as scary as we thought just now, and they won't be able to mutate other creatures immediately upon contact." Even so, it's clear that those floating in the air didn't go to the sea to fight the Zergs at all. , to bring back the meaning of those players.

The thought storm above has nothing to do with the players below who are ups and downs in the black sea water. They are dragged into the sea by the sea water like a rope, and move towards the depths of the battlefield.

The depths of the battlefield are very chaotic, filled with all kinds of sea creatures that have been fighting endlessly just now, but at this moment, they are all silently watching the players, slowly turning their heads as the players are dragged by the sea to float.

Countless heads slowly turned at the same speed, like a whole.

But the player's San value has completely dropped, so...they do what they like, and the player is just struggling in the water anyway.

The destination of the water flow is very clear - the center of the battlefield, the beginning of chaos, entangled with countless intelligent creatures and countless sea creatures.

The player bypasses them and stops in front of one of the intelligent beings.

Following behind them vigilantly, the expedition team flying in mid-air followed and saw this intelligent creature.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at Yan.

Yan's expression was very bad.

Wang Xuan was very dumbfounded and said in surprise: "There are still humans here... Wait, you are not the sea we have been looking for, are you?"

The young man with a pair of blue eyes laughed, and looked at the expedition team flying in the air from a distance: "I have waited for a long time, I thought you would be able to bring me back to the kingdom, but now it seems..." He crooked Tilting his head: "There is only one way."

Green Leaf lowered her voice and said to Du Kang: "He doesn't look like being controlled by the Zerg, and he speaks like a normal person."

Du Kang: "This is not good news."

Whether it is not controlled by the Zerg or controlled by the Zerg, the performance of the other party can only be said to be terrible.

The former proves that the npc betrayed the king, and the latter proves that the Zerg can control the host to an indistinguishable level.

The other party glanced at them, then moved back into the sky: "What makes you think that we can't fly?"

"Fuck?" Wang Xuan said in surprise, "Are these sea creatures or amphibians?"

Green Leaf caught the sight of the other party looking at them again.

He lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down. The 'we' should mean the Zerg. What he means is that the Zerg still controls..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a dark cloud came galloping from afar.

"Damn it!" Wang Xuan had a hard time controlling his volume: "Good guy, this is too exaggerated."

This is why the expedition team is currently fleeing frantically through the air.

The good news is that the dragons are fast enough to leave those birds far behind.

The bad news is that these birds are everywhere at sea.

Watching the back of the Dragon Clan going away quickly, Wu Xing turned his head to look at "Hai" who was smiling at them, and slowly looked at his companion: "Are you aware... that we have been left behind?"

Wang Lun couldn't wait to say: "Then we die and go back now?"

Du Kang stared at "Hai" for two seconds, then said slowly, "Do you know the player?"

"There is too much news about you, and we are not deaf..." Hai: "Since death is farewell to you, why not talk about cooperation?"

"We have so much in common that it's more than enough to free you from your bondage."
