Renault and Tychus led the Revolutionary Army soldiers to carefully search all the laboratories, isolation rooms, and dissection rooms in the entire Fujita Mine Research Institute. With the gradual increase in discoveries, there have been
The evidence pieced together into an intriguing truth.
As early as two years ago, the Tyranid Federation was already studying this sudden appearance of alien creatures. Augustus realized that the psychic transmitter that once destroyed the Tyranid Federation came from his own research on the zerg.
After Augustus stared at the dark purple creep behind the glass wall for nearly twenty minutes, a revolutionary soldier wearing dark red power armor with a golden wolf head logo on his shoulder pads walked up to him and held in his hand
Carrying a portable battery freezer.
"What is that?" Kerrigan took the suitcase, and the close-fitting Umoyan Shadow Guards refraction combat uniform tightened her waist and hips when she bent.
After removing the psionic suppressor, as a level 10 psyker, Kerrigan was able to release far more psionic power than before.
"The dissected alien creature." The orange matte mask of the Revolutionary Army soldier barely reflected light under the bright light, and a somewhat palpitating voice came from the loudspeaker unit: "General Mengsk, two of them are alive.
."
"Open it," Augustus commanded immediately.
The iris lock of the freezer had already been unlocked. Kerrigan put on laboratory gloves and held the lock of the freezer to open it. In the white smoke of water vapor condensation, three animals were covered with a layer of white frost.
, the worm-like gnarled creature is lying quietly in the frozen layer of the box.
"Maggots, carapace maggots," Kerrigan said quickly, adding, "It scares me to see them."
"Dr. Francos, how much do you know about this creature?" Augustus said to the federal doctor of biology who was ordered to stay where he was and not to go anywhere.
One of these three slender, multi-tentacled creatures has been dissected, and part of its beetle-like hard shell has been neatly peeled off, revealing complex organs and white brain tissue that should belong to its abdomen.
There is no stomach pouch, intestines, or excretory organs. As a result, questions about what this creature should do for a living have troubled federal scientists for a long time.
"We speculate that these are the larvae of the zerg, like the larvae of metamorphosed insects. After they absorb enough nutrients, they will form cocoons and transform into another completely different creature. These creatures seem to be born for killing.
"Their bodies have thousands of dense muscles and are covered with sharp claws and fangs." The doctor used the word zerg for the first time. Apparently the Federation had already named this newly discovered creature.
"But the adults of these creatures are not exactly the same. There may be very obvious differences in the specialization of traits among each individual. There will also be huge differences in body size and aggressiveness between insects with the same characteristics." He
explain.
"Later, we realized that the DNA of the larvae of this organism carries billions of sequences. There are almost infinite possibilities for the combination of these sequences, not to mention the possibility of genetic mutation and recombination."
"Infinite possibilities for evolution."
"Is there a way to use catalysts or other means to cause them to deform in the direction we gave them?" Augustus said: "Or to use more efficient means to control these organisms through transformation. Since we can produce resocialized soldiers,
Why can’t this method be used on alien creatures?”
"No, this is impossible. It can't be done with human technology." The doctor immediately denied it three times, making Augustus very disappointed.
While Augustus was talking to the doctor, due to the gradual increase in temperature, a zerg larva woke up. Its centipede-like multi-legged body squirmed like a snake, and its polysynaptic head had many
A scarlet, triangular eye slowly opened. This slimy little monster didn't seem to be fully awake yet. It squinted its scarlet eyes and looked around for something, but found nothing.
The larva moves, making a squeaking sound like walking in muddy mud with rain boots. After a while, it stops and remains motionless, as if waiting for some order.
The sound of guns being drawn and loaded was immediately heard from all around. The nervous soldiers scrambled to stand between Augustus and the larvae, and the sound of heavy breathing sounded in the communication channel.
"Don't be nervous." Although Augustus knew that this larva was actually not offensive, he still took a loaded Gauss rifle from his subordinates: "I want to take a good look at this beast."
When the revolutionary soldiers dispersed, the slow-reacting larva finally raised its head like a cobra, stared at Augustus, and made a quacking sound.
But the target of the larva was not Augustus. Its gaze stayed on him briefly and then moved to Kerrigan next to him.
The ugly creature immediately made a high-pitched squeaking sound. It squirmed out of the freezer, landed on the smooth floor of the laboratory, and crawled slowly towards Kerrigan.
Augustus walked over and stepped on the tail of the larvae. The heavy pressure of the power armor's power boots made it immediately make a louder noise. However, soon, the larvae was jumping around like a fish that landed on the shore.
After a few clicks, he lay on the ground and stopped struggling.
"What does it want to do?" Augustus leaned down and looked at the little monster without fangs and claws.
"It's looking for something...waiting for something..." At this moment, Kerrigan suddenly rubbed her temples, looking a little tired.
"Can you read its thoughts?" Augustus looked at Kerrigan in surprise.
"No, I just sensed something. It seems that this low-level creature without thought is waiting for the order of a more advanced and powerful creature." Kerrigan shook her head and said.
"It's...waiting for my order."
"..." Augustus stared at Kerrigan's face for a few seconds, and then he let go of his feet: "Prove it to me, Kerrigan."
The color of molten gold suddenly appeared in Kerrigan's eyes, and the larva lying helplessly on the ground suddenly formed into a ball and circled around its tail on the ground, like a cat chasing its own tail.
"This is incredible." A soldier couldn't hide his surprise.
"You are special." Augustus said: "Kerrigan, the next step is to try to mutate this worker bee into a hatchery."
Originally, Augustus thought that Kerrigan only had the ability to control the zerg after becoming the Queen of Blades. Now it seems that she is born with the ability to control these creatures. From this point of view, the Overlord is targeting Kerrigan not just because of
She is a level 10 psyker, because she is not the only level 10 psyker in humans.
Augustus didn't know whether the news was good or bad.
"What? I can't do that." Kerrigan looked at Augustus doubtfully.
