Doom Blade

Chapter 39 The Strange Insect Egg

Xiao Bao opened his eyes wide and exclaimed sincerely: "Xiao Liu is really amazing."

Ren Yi looked at him with a complicated expression, and said insincerely: "Yes, it's really amazing."

Looking at Ren Yi's expression, Xiaobao suddenly realized, thinking of Qi Xuanyi, his smile faded away.

"Go." Ren Yi swept him with his tail, "I will be in charge of the third floor, and report back in 10 minutes."

"Yes!" Xiaobao turned serious, turned and walked down.

All the way down the stairs, the plants grew wildly, and there was almost no place to stand on the stairs. Fortunately, there were fluorescent lights, so it was not difficult for everyone to come and go.

The soldiers who had just finished the battle were still very vigilant, and they were a little bit repelled by the plants all over their eyes, but some people were running around telling everyone to take a good rest, and these plants could protect them.

Obviously, Ren Yi had already contacted Hong Tuan through the communicator.

The soldiers who received the latest news grabbed the yelling person in amazement, asked for details, and then suddenly cheered, hugged each other for the rest of their lives, and even wept with joy.

Yes, the pressure of the Zerg is not how strong they are individually, not how hard their shells are, but the number of mountains and plains and endless attacks when they are dispatched.

Kill this batch, will there be another batch?Will the next batch be stronger?This is the fear that everyone hides deep in their hearts, especially the mimics that have not been killed at the beginning. None of them know when they will make a comeback. Now that there is this barrier, at least they can really breathe a sigh of relief .

Just as Xiaobao reached the first floor, he saw Xiaoliu running over from the corridor and threw himself into his arms.Xiao Bao grinned while hugging the person, and kissed Xiao Liu on the cheek: "Evolved?"

Xiao Liu hugged his neck affectionately, rubbed his forehead against his face, and said with a smile, "These insects are so nutritious, baby, help Xiao Liu kill more insects."

"..." Xiaobao fell silent.

"..." Gu Chendong was also silent.

The two looked at each other for a while, then suddenly their eyes lit up, and they shouted in unison: "The main warehouse!!"

Holding Xiao Liu in his arms, Xiao Bao rushed up to the third floor and proposed a new action plan to Ren Yi.

Ren Yi listened silently, looked deeply at Xiao Liu, and asked, "Xiao Liu, let me ask you, if there is not enough nutrition, can plants grow so big?"

Xiao Liu thought about it and nodded.

"Where does the nutrition come from? Does it come from your body? Just like before, it will make you very thin."

Xiao Liu nodded.

"So, if you want to make plants so big again, can you do it by yourself?"

Xiao Liu blinked, raised his head and thought for a while: "Yes."

"several times?"

Xiao Liu raised his little hand and raised a finger: "Once."

"Okay..." Ren Yi smiled softly, turned his head to look at Xiaobao and Gu Chendong and said, "Then that is to say, there is a limit to Xiaoliu's absorption of nutrients. The reason why the plants here are so lush is because he can't fully absorb them. Of course, this is a good thing.” After speaking, he softened his facial expression, smiled at Xiao Liu again and asked, “Is that so?”

Xiao Liu nodded obediently.

Xiaobao thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "But should we just leave it there? It's a ticking time bomb, it's too dangerous if we don't clean it up."

"Don't worry." Ren Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, and asked Xiao Liu again, "So, how long can these plants last? If there is not enough nutrients, can they continue to survive?"

"Nutrition... I can..." Xiao Liu said dully.

"What if it doesn't rely on you? How many days will it wither?"

Xiao Liu bowed his head and counted with his fingers, fiddled with it for a long time, and finally used both hands, but still couldn't figure it out.

Ren Yi kept staring at his fingers, and seeing Xiao Liu shaking his head, he smiled instead: "I see, it should look quite long. So, if you leave these plants, will they still last for such a long time? "

This time, Xiao Liu hurriedly nodded.

Ren Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Xiaobao: "There are still four hours before dawn, you call Ruan Yan to take a good rest, and leave on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" Xiaobao responded, and grinned his teeth. He seemed to understand the words that the captain went around asking. Obviously, the captain must ensure the safety of this place.

On the second floor, Xiaobao found Ruan Yan and told him about the latest action plan. Ruan Yan didn't ask any more questions, and explained a few words to the people around him, and then went back to the dormitory where he had rested earlier with Xiaobao.

The bed frame had been dismantled long ago, and the bedding was also riddled with holes during the battle. Fortunately, the corpses of the beetles had been absorbed by the vines. The two of them made up their minds and planned to lean on the vines for a little rest. Liu walked to a pitcher and gently pinched the root. After a few breaths, the pitcher became the size of a human. He smiled and shouted, "Baby."

Xiao Bao vaguely understood Xiao Liu's meaning, but looking at the almost two-meter-long pitcher, and remembering how fiercely these plants devoured the beetles, his scalp felt a little numb, and he stood there tremblingly.

Xiao Liu ran over and grabbed his hand, letting him touch the inside of the pitcher. It turned out to be dry and warm inside. It was soft when pressed, like cotton wool, and it felt very comfortable.Xiao Bao smiled at Xiao Liu, and lay down in it like a sleeping bag.Not to mention, it's more comfortable than a sleeping bag.Moreover, after the lid on the pitcher is rolled up, it can be used as a pillow.Xiao Bao stretched out his hand and gave Xiao Liu a thumbs up.

Xiao Liu grinned, opened his teeth, and happily ran to the other side to make an identical "sleeping bag" for Ruan Yan, and then made himself a small "sleeping bag" next to Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao waited for Xiao Liu to finish his work, and asked, "Xiao Liu, can you have a few more? Many brothers outside have no place to sleep."

Xiao Liu looked at him for a long time before reluctantly nodding his head, and said cowardly: "But Xiao Liu will be small."

"Baby will help you kill the bugs tomorrow, okay?"

When Xiao Liu heard it, his smile suddenly spread, and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Xiao Bao hurriedly got out of the sleeping bag again, carried Xiao Liu around the building, and while waiting for Xiao Liu to make the sleeping bag, he explained to the soldiers around him.The tired and exhausted soldiers were worrying about how to solve their sleep problems. The carbon sent in the snow instantly warmed their hearts. Under the shelter of the vine castle, he was finally suppressed.

Hong Tuan who came over after hearing the news smiled and patted Xiaobao on the shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Xiao Bao smiled foolishly: "It's all thanks to Xiao Liu."

"The same." Hong Tuan said.

After returning to the dormitory again, half an hour later, there was already a person lying in Xiaobao's sleeping bag, it was Ren Yi.Ren Yi hadn't slept yet, and seemed to be waiting for them. Seeing people coming back, he pointed his eyes at Xiao Liu, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Liu, is there anything you can't use for those bugs?"

Hearing this, Ruan Yan and Xiaobao opened their eyes wide at the same time, yes!What about the loot?If these bugs are the same as the naga, there should be something special!

Xiao Liu nodded.

The smile on Ren Yi's face became stronger again: "Take it out and have a look?"

Xiao Bao gently pushed Xiao Liu, impatient.

Xiao Liu walked to the root of the vine, held it with his small hand, and closed his eyes. The root in his hand was a bit thick, as if it was being transported through the plant.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, even Ruan Yan, who was always too cool to beat, couldn't help but get out of the sleeping bag.

After a while, there wasn't much reaction on the outside, but Xiao Liu withdrew his hand and turned to look at them: "Here..."

Xiao Bao bent his knees and pulled out the saber from his calf: "Dig?"

No, Xiao Liu took the knife from him, carefully cut along the roots, took out a lot of things with transparent mucus, and threw them on the ground like throwing garbage.

The three special soldiers, who would not change their expressions even when facing the terrifying monsters, squatted beside Xiao Liu and picked them up one by one with a heartache on their faces.

Xiaoliu threw a total of six things out. There were no weapons similar to Naga. They were all small spherical objects. Four of them were identified by Ren Yi. Some were similar to Naga water crystals, but the attributes Doesn't look like any of the five elements.There are also two very tricky things, they look like insect eggs no matter what they look like, thinking of the horror of the insect swarm, Xiao Bao can't wait to crush them with his feet.

Ren Yi looked thoughtfully at the two insect eggs in front of him with fluorescent light, and asked Xiao Liu, "Why is this thing useless?"

Xiao Liu pointed to the crystal in Ren Yi's hand and said, "It feels the same."

Ren Yi handed the crystal over: "You mean dead? Just energy? No nutrition?"

Xiao Liu frowned and shook his head: "It's alive..."

"..." Ren Yi pursed his lips tightly.

"Stamped to death?" Xiaobao suggested directly.

Ren Yi nodded: "Fix it as soon as possible, let's burn it with fire."

Xiao Bao took a deep breath, and flames rose in his hands instantly. He pressed his backhand on the eggs, trying to stay as far away as possible to prevent any danger.At the same time, Ren Yi and Ruan Yan also activated the bloodline, ready to go, and let Xiao Liu get ready.

The flame baked for five or six minutes, but the eggs didn't respond. Ruan Yan reached out to touch them and frowned: "It's cold. There's still energy in it."

"..." Xiaobao increased the heat again, the scorching heat raised the air in the room by tens of degrees instantly, the leaves on the vines were all wilted, and Xiao Liu stepped back uncomfortably.

Ruan Yan touched again and shook his head again.

Ren Yi's face was like frost, he mobilized the water molecules to condense into ice, and wrapped the shell of the eggs, but after half an hour, the energy inside hadn't dissipated at all.

At this moment, several people were stunned and began to use violence, but cutting, smashing, squeezing and other methods were used repeatedly, and all of them failed.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling uneasy, how to solve this hot potato?

Until dawn, they couldn't find a reasonable way to deal with it. Ren Yi boldly made a hypothesis, maybe this is the evolution of the fifth stage. Rather than throwing it away here, it is better to take the risk of taking these two eggs back Leave it to the scientific research team, maybe there will be unexpected gains, and even study the reproduction mode of the Zerg, so that there are safe restraints when encountering this race again in the future.

This is an unavoidable decision. The two indestructible insect eggs are really disturbing. If they stay on this island and wait for people to evacuate, what should we do if those winged Zerg reappear?It's better to keep it under your nose than to put it in a place where you can't see it.

However, the job of safekeeping was handed over to Xiao Liu in the end. After all, Xiao Liu's secondary evolution ability tends to restrain the Zerg, which is safer than being carried by any of the three of them.Of course, it must not be placed in the plant roots that protect the building.

Early in the morning, the three of them carried Xiaoliu and Hong Tuan to report the new plan, and then they left the building. No one noticed that Ruan Yan was holding two eggs the size of pigeon eggs in his dark left hand.

Halfway on the way, Jiangyang Hengji chased him out. The young man smiled brightly, saluted Ren Yi solemnly and said, "I heard about your latest plan from Hong Tuan, and I want to apply to join."

"Hong Tuan asked you to come?" Ren Yi looked at him.

"I want to come by myself. I heard that you are going to take Xiao Liu there. My ability is not very useful now, but fortunately, I am fast. It is no problem to protect a child. If the Zerg in the main warehouse can be eliminated, everyone You can all breathe a sigh of relief.”

Ren Yi pondered for a while, nodded, and agreed to his joining: "Xiao Liu doesn't need to enter the warehouse, you can protect him outside. And...do you have any memory of your bloodline?"

"Inheriting memory?" Jiangyang Hengji raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It's very scattered and very vague. I only know that this bloodline is from the East."

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and Xiaobao asked in surprise, "Isn't it an angel?"

Ren Yi said: "Angels are not a race. In Western mythology, angels are tools of war created by God. They cannot reproduce, so they cannot form a group. But there are many people in the Eastern Wing, so it is not surprising that they have wings. That's okay, let's get down to it." Let’s talk again, let’s dismantle the bomb first.”

"And this." Ruan Yan spread out his hand, revealing two eggs.

"What is this?" Jiangyang Hengji looked curious.

"Eggs, maybe the fifth stage." Ruan Yan said matter-of-factly.

"Scared!" Jiangyang Hengji took a step back, staring at the eggs fiercely as if he wanted to swallow them in one gulp, "Where did this thing come from?"

Ren Yi stared at Jiangyang Hengji's subconsciously grown wings, grabbed the eggs from Ruan Yan's hand and put them into Jiangyang Hengji's hand: "I leave it to you, birds also have a certain restraint effect on insects." , with you and Xiao Liu together, I will feel more at ease."

"I...I..." Jiangyang Hengji's expression changed.

"Order." Ren Yi's voice became a little more serious.

Jiangyang Hengji wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to move the hand holding the eggs, and froze on the spot.

Xiaobao patted him, and said with a sigh of relief: "The captain is right, I'll leave it to you, don't worry, you won't be able to crush it."

"Isn't it pinch..." Jiangyang Hengji roared sadly, but he swallowed the second half of the sentence back. Ren Yi had already led the people forward, and the order obviously would not be changed.He gritted his teeth in frustration, squeezed the eggs in his hand and rushed out. He wanted to crush them, but he didn't expect to use his strength to the extreme, and it was harder than a rock.

Ren Yi said without looking back: "It would be better if you can destroy it."

"Hey!" Jiangyang Hengji exhaled angrily, and stopped talking.

On the road again, Ruan Yan and Ren Yi were a little surprised, but the Zerg seemed to have disappeared overnight. Before the evacuation yesterday, the scattered third-level black beetles and first-level mimics disappeared.Along the way, apart from the fire hydrant that was destroyed yesterday and the scattered corpse fragments, there was not a single bug that could be seen strangely.

Arriving at the door of the main warehouse, several people stood outside the door and looked at it, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts. The changes from the day before and after were too huge. Did all the Zerg gather in one place for rectification?No, they are not human beings and cannot think in human terms.Ren Yi walked around the main warehouse back and forth, and began to think about the habits of the Zerg.It is not clear whether the high-level Zergs have wisdom, but the low-level Zergs are definitely not intelligent. They act on instinct and obey the orders of the higher-level Zergs. This evacuation is definitely planned.And combining the comparison between the beetles I met earlier and the beetles that attacked last night, maybe... that terrible beetle is not dead, or, in other words, there are higher-level Zerg life forms watching in the dark.

Could it be the Zerg in this warehouse?

Ren Yi went back to the gate, looked deeply at the four people in front of him and said, "It's dangerous inside. Before the gate opens, we must make preparations. First of all, Xiao Liu, you should plant the plants and block them as much as possible." The location of the door, the first and second-order Zerg should be able to make up for the nutrients you consume in this process, understand?"

Xiaobao knew that Xiaoliu could not understand these simple and easy-to-understand language for adults, so he put his ear on his side and told him how to do it step by step.

Waiting for the time for the little six plants to grow, Ren Yi looked at Ruan Yan again: "After entering, my main target is the third-order black beetle, you help me clean up those bugs in the simplest way. At the same time, you have to distract little In Bao's case, Xiao Bao's first target to kill is the four-stage beetle."

"Yes." Ruan Yan nodded seriously.

"Jiangyang." Ren Yi turned his head to look at Jiangyang Hengji, "Your job is to guard. Once the warehouse is opened, there must be bugs that slip through the net. Xiaoliu's body is extremely weak. You must protect him."

"Yes!" Jiangyang Hengji saluted excitedly. He could fight together with the elite special forces, which made his face flush with enthusiasm.

Ren Yi nodded, let out a long breath, and shouted: "Action!"
