Chen Mo's limbs were clamped and he was lifted up by several large Roots.
The Brood had no intention of killing him, but seemed to want to talk to him.
Chen Mo didn't resist.
After being dragged along for two kilometers, Root stopped.
The carpet of bacteria in front of Chen Mo cracked open, like a big mouth eager to eat people.
Behind him, Lute's chelicerae struck Chen Mo's waist and pushed him down.
After falling only three to five meters, he fell on a piece of elastic tissue.
This is the inside of the mother nest.
After Chen Mo fell, the fungus blanket on it returned to its original appearance.
Chen Mo secretly cursed that no trace of the brood nest could be found on the satellite images.
It was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Chen Mo groped his way up from the ground. Just when he was about to install the micro-E bomb, a handful of purple light lit up from a distance and quietly arrived.
Looking closer, Chen Mo saw clearly that it was a humanoid creature holding a fleshy purple ball of light in its hand.
The humanoid creature has an exoskeleton, just like Root standing up, but it is not the same. There is no protruding mouthparts on the face, but it is seventy-nine similar to humans.
Two legs, two arms, and a head.
The torso is slightly elongated and slender.
"Chen Mo, if you want to know more stories, don't do anything to me."
That 'man' speaks human words.
"what are you?!"
"I am an intelligent creature from the planet Ross. Humans call us Homo sapiens. We call ourselves... ziloikr. Translated in your human language, it probably means children of the earth."
"How can you speak?"
"There is a tissue similar to human vocal cords where my voice is produced, which can imitate human voices."
Chen Mo looked at the bamboo pole man in front of him, and then at the ball of light in its hand.
"Are you the Brood?"
"I am the owner of the Brood."
"owner?"
Chen Mo was just stunned for a moment before he understood what it meant.
The Brood is not the worshiper of Root, the intelligent life in front of it is.
"Unlike your human technology, we rarely deal with steel and concrete. We like to use the abilities given by Mother Earth to build." Si Junsapien ignored Chen Mo and sat on a pile of meat, motioning for Chen Mo to sit down as well:
"Our lives are long and long, and we spend thousands of hours building a house we like - the mother's nest, which is a symbol of our adulthood."
"In season?"
"One ream is what you call the revolution period, and one ream is nine Ross days."
"How many hundred years can you live???"
"The average lifespan of our species is about thirteen thousand hours."
"..."
"Countless of our compatriots have spent hundreds of millions of hours turning the planet Ross into a prosperous planet. We have established an animal sanctuary and explicitly prohibited the over-expansion of the carpet. In the Golden Era, the elders ordered that no development is allowed anymore.
At the same time, a new brood nest was issued, and a hunting restriction order was issued. Umbrella trees and fungus carpet light collection were developed to protect the ecological environment of Ross Star. The entire golden era was the most prosperous era of Ross Star."
Chen Mo did not interrupt Si Junzhi in front of him, and listened quietly to this unheard history.
"Until you humans invade."
The eight compound eyes of Sijun Homo looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo couldn't interpret the meaning of its gaze, but he could feel its anger.
"In the beginning, you humans came to Ross Star, had friendly communication with us, and asked us if we could coexist harmoniously. The elders were not wary and agreed to human beings' despicable and hypocritical cooperation... Unexpectedly, the purpose of humans coming to Ross Star was never
Not sharing this planet with us." Homo sapiens Sijun seemed to be sneering: "The only thing humans care about is yridium ore."
"and you…"
"Don't interrupt me!" Si Junzhi roughly cut off Chen Mo's words: "Only the general discovered that human beings have impure intentions. Fortunately, the general reactivated the 'Carapace Project', which gave us a chance to breathe."
Looking at Chen Mo's puzzled eyes, Sijun explained: "The mother's nest is our home. In order to resist the invasion, it has been transformed into cold military factories one after another, frantically producing 'ladybirds' to resist the invasion.
Humanity's invasion, even so, cannot stop your invasion. If the brood had not been able to fire radiium cannons, the children of the earth would have been driven away and exterminated."
It closed the transparent lenses on its compound eyes in pain, and when it opened them again it was filled with murderous intent.
"It's you, these treacherous villains!"
Si Junzhi suddenly took action and inserted the tips of his fingers into Chen Mo's chest.
Chen Mo wanted to get up, but it was too late.
At some point, the tendrils protruding from the meat mound bound his hands and feet.
There were countless small spikes at the tip of the tendrils, which pierced the skin and transported some special substance into Chen Mo's body.
Chen Mo felt that his whole body was limp and he couldn't use any strength.
Not to mention breaking free from the shackles of the fleshy whiskers, even raising your hand is a luxury.
"The war between us has been going on for more than 1,200 hours. The general's Carapace Project... Oh, as the cornerstone of mankind, you don't know what the Carapace Project is." Sijun sapiens squatted in front of Chen Mo:
"The Carapace Project is a series of biological weapons forged based on ourselves through special genetic programming methods. The one you are most familiar with is the 'Ladybug', the little guy you call a Sexon, but the Carapace Project is not only
'Ladybug', Project Carapace has a total of 317 weapons. The general just made the 'Ladybug' manufacturing method public and was brutally killed by you humans. But... there is still me."
Chen Mo probably knew that the thing stuck in his flesh should release some kind of biological toxin.
It is probably a component of a neurodepressant that paralyzes the human body by blocking the connections between neurons.
He tried to use his powers several times but failed.
"I got one-sixth of the general's brain and nearly a thousand hours of decoding to reproduce three weapons and one medicine... Do you know how I spent these one thousand hours?
I didn’t even know that the capitulationists had reached an agreement on mineral mining with you humans...Sad, so sad! The son of the earth actually asked for peace from despicable humans!" Si Junzhi beat Chen Mo crazily as if he was manic.
Because Chen Mo's neurons were blocked, he couldn't even feel pain...
Once, once, and again.
Chen Mo could only see the blood spurting out in front of him.
seem…
The self-healing ability has also been blocked for a short period of time.
This is too bad.
Chen Mo felt that his brain was running slower and slower.
I don't even feel the approach of death.
"I will turn you into the nourishment of the mother's nest. Your body is so strong and can use radiium energy. It will be an excellent blueprint for weapons...Chen Mo, please pray. Pray for the mistakes that you are about to personally redeem mankind.
Bar!"
The sounds in Chen Mo's ears became increasingly blurry, and the scene in front of him gradually became darker.
