Pheromone heavy dependence

"Damn it, I think that group of people really don't think about it..." Chen Yong hummed unconsciously, and the people around him were filled with righteous indignation, only Shi Yi looked at the place in a daze.

This is the small satellite that was found to be abnormal last time. Since it is a sweeping mission, it means that the evidence to be collected has been collected, and the test result is unknown.

"Let's go immediately!" There was an order on the top, even if the leg was broken, it had to be carried, so they didn't care about whether they were tired or not. Everyone returned to the place full of certain horrors and started the cleaning task.

But this time it obviously can't be as simple and rude as a missile. They have to check it carefully. If there are any missing places, they must first clean up the bugs and then collect data. It will take a lot of time, after all, it is No matter how small it is, it is still a small satellite, not a dust-like particle.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Shi Yi, waiting for his order. Shi Yi drank two bags of nutrient solution and said seriously, "What am I doing? The officer may sacrifice at any time. You must have the awareness and confidence to be on top at any time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, staring at him with wide eyes, as if they didn't expect an Omega to have such awareness.

Jiang Zhu raised his hand and squeezed his shoulders, stopped what he wanted to say, and looked at the crowd, "Listen to my instructions, the spaceship will follow at the top and wait for a response at any time, pay attention to the movement of the swarm, report in time, and... "

The words are firm, clear, and convincing.

So he took the order to disperse, Jiang Zhu looked at Shi Yi's pale little face, and originally wanted him to find a place to rest, but thinking about his strong temper, he finally swallowed those words silently, He just said, "Follow me closely."

Then turned around and took the lead.

It really took a long time this time, and many civilians were found, or they could vaguely guess that they were originally human corpses, and they collected a lot along the way, and this time they also discovered a strange phenomenon.

Those bugs still have an appetite for these human corpses.

That is to say, if they mutate and return to human form, they will be eaten by insects as humans, so many corpses are already incomplete, but those corpses that have completely mutated into insects will no longer attract The bug's attention.

As we all know, bugs have very poor eyesight, and they rely on sound, vibration and smell. Could it be that these people even smell like bugs?

What is the extent of that infection?

With such doubts in mind, I ended the mission and rushed back to the base as quickly as possible. Coincidentally, within 5 minutes after I sat down, someone from above was sent to ask Shi Yi and the others to go to a meeting, saying that it was important. things to discuss.

In the familiar conference hall, with the five familiar people, Shi Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, which was strange.

No matter from which point of view, with the current status of him and Jiang Zhu, they are not qualified to participate in meetings of this level all the time. Even if the results are too explosive and need to be kept secret, they are definitely not within the scope of what can be known.

After reporting on the mopping up task, the two of them sat back to their seats silently, staring at the photos on the opposite white wall without making eye contact with anyone.

"I called you this time because I discovered something very important and we need to discuss it together." Ou Baihan knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, then turned his head to look at Shi Yi, and said seriously, "Listen to it, too."

"The corpses you brought back last time have been sent to the scientific research institute for research and investigation, and those sent by the search team later also corroborated the same conclusion." He said, his face darkened a little, "someone, it is very shameful Carry out human experiments in a groundless manner, and the direction of the experiment has never been involved in the field of Zerg mutation!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, even Shi Lin broke the iceberg face that had not changed for thousands of years, revealing a bit of surprise.

"Zerg genes were found in all the people brought back. This is not an infection as we simply thought before, but an uncontrollable mutation." Ou Baihan said, calling up a gene comparison chart, and the people present Although I am not very proficient in these things, it can be clearly seen that this is not the same species anymore.

"The bug's gene is injected into the human body forcibly fused. These are two completely different and mutually exclusive things. I am afraid that many people will die immediately. Even if the fusion is successful, the result is absolutely unstable. Like this .”

He called up the recorded video sent back by Shi Yi before, and pointed to the human being who was rapidly growing insect legs, "Maybe some method was used to keep them in balance in the human body, but when I saw you... "

He looked up at Shi Yi, "The fresh flesh and blood stimulated the part of the Zerg gene, completely overwhelmed the human gene and began to mutate, and then was completely controlled by the desire to kill and lost his mind, which is the siege you encountered later."

"But I also found a very strange point, which is that this overwhelming advantage is not permanent." Ou Baihan said, and called up two more videos, which were respectively frozen after they died in the form of Zerg, and one slowly recovered. Once the human form is lost, one completely maintains the appearance of a bug, and can no longer see the appearance of a human being.

"After death, the stimulation subsides, and the Zerg genes and human genes will start to compete for the ultimate control of the body again. If the Zerg genes in his body are stronger, they will completely kill the human part, even if any tests are performed later, It's also a complete bug, and I can't tell his original appearance at all."

"However, if the human gene is superior, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Zerg gene. It can only be suppressed. The final manifestation is a human corpse. However, after careful inspection, the abnormality can still be detected."

Ou Baihan's speech was not fast, but his voice was calm and powerful, but at the end of the speech, he couldn't help becoming emotional.

After the long paragraph was finished, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence, and the sound of breathing could hardly be heard.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the shocking photos and video screenshots, lost in thought.

"What do you think?" Ou Baihan sat back on the chair, took a sip from the water glass, and moistened his throat a little.

"Is this the case for all the targets brought back?" Shi Lin asked.

"That's right," Ou Baihan nodded, "Either he has completely turned into a bug, or both, and even some undetectable changes have begun to occur inside his body."

"It seems that someone has moved something that shouldn't have happened." Shi Lin narrowed his eyes, flashing a chilling killing intent.

"That's what I mean too." Ou Baihan nodded, "In this case, it is absolutely impossible to be infected after being bitten by insects, let alone a coincidence. It's just that I don't know what his purpose is."

After all, turning people into worms is obviously not a great achievement of epoch-making significance.

"Biochemical weapons, Zerg...army?" Shi Yi murmured.

"What did you say?!" Even though his voice was very soft and he said it subconsciously in meditation, it was still as obvious as thunder in such a quiet space, coupled with the high mental strength of everyone present.

"What I mean is..." Shi Yi frowned, "Normally, there is absolutely no reason to do such a thing, so I want to think about it from a different angle."

"The shortcomings of the Zerg are well known, so what are their advantages? Hard shells, sharp feet, and extremely superior jumping ability. They are extremely capable in single-body combat. In the face of adult bugs, humans must drive mechas to fight against them. capabilities, but if..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone present frowned and instantly understood what he meant.

"If humans can be turned into Zergs while remaining rational..." Shi Yi bit his lower lip, unable to continue.

Although absurd, this seems to be a more reasonable explanation so far.

"There is indeed such a possibility..." Ou Baihan took the lead to break the silence, and sighed, "If that's the case, even if his essence is to help human beings, he definitely used the wrong method."

"Of course, this is just one of the guesses," Ou Baihan said, casting an encouraging look at Shi Yi, "but it's still very good for children to have such insight and thinking."

Shi Yi shook his head, did not accept the compliment, but instead asked another question, "Speaking of which, there is something that I have always cared about."

"At that time, our team received the order, why did we directly destroy the satellite without any investigation? Even though the life detector showed that no one survived, the detection data just before the Zerg attack, as well as those equipment, all Don't you need it? Who gave the order?"

This is actually a very critical question, that is, does the person who gave the order know about the changes on the satellite?

If he knew, this order would be more like destroying the corpse. After all, when he pressed the button, there would be no ashes left. Naturally, no one would find out about this horrifying experiment.

If you don't know, who sent those people up?There shouldn't be any traces, and that person's rank is definitely not low.

"What's my order?" Xu Yan patted the table vigorously, squinted at Shi Yi, and didn't even bother to look him in the eye, "Do you want to say that these things are all caused by this general? !"

"Anyway, there are no living people anymore. They are all bugs. If they don't get wiped out, they will still look good? As for those detection data..." He snorted lightly, "It's already been taken over by bugs. When did they come and how did they come? Is it important?"

Shi Yi glanced at Xu Yan, and his confidence in the first guess slightly weakened.

This Xu Yan, even in the army, is a complete weirdo.

If he was the commander at that time, it would not be surprising that he would issue such an order.

Because he hated bugs far more than anyone present.

When he was still young, he was once attacked in a surprise attack and was hidden in a ventilation duct. Then he watched his parents be bitten into two pieces by insects, devoured them bit by bit, and the bones and flesh flowed all over the ground.

Since then, he has been through a three-year period of aphasia, unable to speak a single syllable, and will go crazy at the sight of bugs, and then grow up, enter the military, and become a total battle Madmen and killing machines.

There is no organization or order in his mind, only the only belief is to kill all the bugs, so disobedience on the spot is a common thing, and he went deep into the tiger's den countless times, even when he should retreat, he continued to fight, resulting in the death and injury of his subordinates countless.

The military merits are as great as the casualties, and at the same time, the punishment for disobeying military orders is also large enough, so the promotion and demotion of the ranks, until Marshal He Ming blew himself up and completely shrunk the Zerg, he was barely stable, and he was definitely a headache. .

But at least, he will not lead such an absolutely anti-human experiment. Just imagining the Zerg genes carried by those humans, I am afraid that he can't wait to crush them to death.

"So who sent those people to the barren star? Did the experiment fail and wanted to destroy the corpses, or did they want to test the results?" Shi Yi didn't care about his attitude, and provoked the question he cared most about.

The entire conference hall fell silent again, and this question hit the nail on the head.

Knowing this means that the person behind the scenes has revealed his feet, and he will have a clearer understanding of his identity.

"I've checked this." Ou Baihan looked at Shi Yi, "Speaking of which, it has something to do with you."

Shi Yi was slightly surprised, how could this have something to do with him?

"Do you remember the spaceship you captured when you went to rescue the group of Omega?" Shi Yi reacted instantly, still a little embarrassed.

It was a bit risky to save Su Yin that time, but fortunately, the ending was good, but the group of children later said that he had captured a spaceship and dozens of interstellar pirates in order to give him strength and make complaints. It's a little awkward for the leader to say that now.

After all, his little credit, when it comes to this, can only be regarded as a trick.

"I have already found out the spaceship that sent those civilians to the satellite this time. It also belongs to the interstellar pirate, but the specific purpose is unknown."

Pirates... Why are pirates involved here?

Isn't it normal that there is nothing to do except to rob the house, and it can be involved in this kind of anti-human research?

"That's all the information I've learned so far. I'll send someone to investigate this matter. The meeting will be adjourned first." After Ou Baihan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pressed his thumb on the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired.

This meeting lasted for so many hours, and he really couldn't take it anymore.

Everyone went out one after another, only Shi Yi Dingding sat in his seat without moving, and Jiang Zhu accompanied him, and did not express any opinions from the beginning to the end.

Shi Yi looked at Ou Baihan, quietly waiting for his instruction, if he hadn't misunderstood just now, the old man had something to say to himself.

"You are really a smart kid." Ou Baihan opened his eyes and saw Shi Yi, showing a gratified smile, "Now all the clues show that there must be some ulterior force secretly carrying out some ulterior experiments, so Shi Yi .”

He looked at Shi Yi, glanced at Jiang Zhu again, and said with a slightly serious expression, "I decided to entrust you to investigate this secret mission."

Shi Yi was slightly surprised, this is not a trivial matter, especially at his current level, not to mention his Omega status, as expected, he can't apply for any major tasks for the time being.

"Don't think about it too much," Ou Baihan waved his hand, and took the initiative to explain to him, "I did this, of course I have my reasons. One is that your status is not high now, it is not easy to arouse vigilance, and those abnormalities were discovered by you , In addition, in order not to leak the news, it will cause panic among the public and some people will take advantage of it. Therefore, only you are capable of this task.”

"At the same time, I will relax the authority for you, and I hope you can go all out!" Ou Baihan said in a deep voice, "You have seen that tragic scene with your own eyes. If you don't want it to repeat itself on our land, you should take it seriously. This mission, the future of mankind, may depend on you."

Although these words were a little false, but Shi Yi keenly read some other information from the middle.

As I said before, the purpose of the person behind the scenes is unknown, but what is certain is that his status must not be low, otherwise he would not have the financial resources and manpower to do such a thing, not to mention whether it is employment or captivity. , the financial resources spent are unimaginable.

It seems that the old marshal can't even fully trust the four outside.

And choose them...

It is true that it is not easy to attract attention as he said, and the more reason is probably because their status is not high, so they are easier to control.

This old man who has been in the military for nearly 500 years is really not to be underestimated.

After receiving the task and going out, Shi Yi glanced at Jiang Zhu, who had never spoken a word, and joked, "It seems that the old Marshal values ​​you very much..."

Another important reason for choosing him was naturally because of Jiang Zhu.

I'm afraid he has already taken a fancy to his potential, so he wants to give him the opportunity to practice and accumulate military achievements?

Jiang Zhu didn't respond, and followed Shi Yi silently and firmly from the beginning to the end.

Suddenly the brain in his hand vibrated.

Jiang Ren sent a message, telling him to go back and find him no matter what method he uses, the time is up.

Jiang Zhu rubbed his brain lightly, his eyes became darker and darker.

Is it time?

It's about time.

Isn't there an excellent time right now?
