"Master? Come and dine quickly, dinner is already prepared."
Funia's voice woke Xue Hua out of his trance.
He raised his head and saw the puzzled expression on the little girl's face, and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
"I understand. I'll be here right away. You go and inform your sister first."
"Well, okay." Funya pouted slightly, a little unhappy.
Normally, the host always runs very fast when he hears her meal announcement, as if he is afraid that something will eat up the food if he is late.
what is it today?
However, seeing the solemn expression on the owner's face, the sensible little girl didn't ask any more questions and just obediently went outside to inform her sister.
Watching the girl turn and leave, Xue Hua sat on the cushions and stared blankly for a while, then regained his focus and began to review Abathur's research report.
He asked Abathur to suspend his research on the rune system and focus all his attention on the essences collected by Dehaka from the mysterious sand dunes.
As for the research project on Specimen No. 1, since the genetic lock cannot be broken in a short time, we will put it on hold for the time being, save all research information and materials, and seal the remaining genes and tissue samples until more are found in the future.
The clues are being unsealed.
After all, since Abathur's experiment has not been able to make progress, they now have very few tissue samples left, and they really cannot withstand the consumption of such destructive experiments before finding a new source of samples.
However, Xue Hua also asked Abathur to start monitoring genetic experiments and conduct artificial modification testing on every genetic sample in his hand. If any other genetic samples are found to have any traces of artificial modification, they must be marked in time and immediately
Report to him.
He had a feeling that the stupid whale that could swim in the desert would not be a special case. There should be more experimental samples scattered in the world.
But, who did this?
If you want to conduct genetic modification experiments, the level of basic science required must at least reach the level of Xue Hua's previous life. If you want to deeply modify biological genes or even add gene locks, your level in the field of biotechnology must be at least
It is consistent with the current level of the Zerg.
This also means that no matter whether the unit that transforms this behemoth is an individual or a civilization, they all have a reserve of biotechnological knowledge that is at least as good as that of the insect swarm.
Moreover, rumors of black sandstorms have been circulating in the Aranok Desert for at least a hundred years. In other words, this civilization or individual has possessed biological genetic modification technology hundreds of years ago that is not inferior to the Zerg.
And now, a hundred years later, how terrifying is their understanding of biology and genes?
Xue Hua simply didn't dare to think about it. He broke into cold sweat just thinking about it...
It seems that the development and evolution speed of the insect swarm needs to be accelerated!
This world, this universe, is far more dangerous and weird than he imagined!
Thinking of this, Xue Hua immediately asked Isa about the situation of the swarm fleet, but the answer he got was that there was no information from the fleet yet.
This made him slowly frown, and a bad premonition gradually began to fill his heart.
He once issued an order to Stukov before the swarm fleet set off again, requiring him to report the fleet's operation status at least every five days under normal conditions. Although it may not be possible to connect to the main hive because it is too far away, but
It can also allow the Corruptor to take the King Insect and fly to the outer space near the Sanctuary World to report.
However, six days have passed since their departure. Excluding the time spent on the road, Stukov is almost approaching the bottom line of the reporting time.
What on earth is it doing?
Just when Xue Hua was worried about the movements of the swarm fleet, Isa suddenly sent him an urgent notice.
"Master, the corruptor sent by Stukov is connecting to the main hive mind. It seems to have a very urgent situation to report to you!"
"Get in quickly!" Xue Hua said immediately.
"Understood!" Isa agreed, and then Stukov's voice appeared in the main hive mind.
"Master, the insect swarm has successfully arrived at the next beacon according to your order..."
Following Stukov's voice, an influence slowly appeared in front of Xue Hua.
——It is a beautiful planet with blue and green colors and a white mist-like atmosphere.
This planet is located in a galaxy with four planets and one star. It is the third of the four planets. It is not far nor close to the stars in the galaxy, and the temperature looks very pleasant.
And judging from the appearance, this planet is suspected to have life in the form of oceans and plants, and even the two levels are covered with ice caps!
If the continental plate framework hadn't looked completely different, Xue Hua would have even thought that the insect swarm accidentally crossed into outer space!
However, such a beautiful cradle of life aroused Stukov's strong suspicion. His suspicion came from the information obtained by the monitoring king insect's biological signals and psychic field scanning of the planet.
The report given by the Monitoring King Insect stated that there are no carbon-based life forms on this planet, but it exudes a very powerful biological magnetic field.
Moreover, this seemingly beautiful planet does not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations. This observation is simply nonsense for a planet with such a developed ecosystem!
The problems reflected in the first of these two reports not only made Stukov question the planet's "cradle of life" appearance, but also caused him to have a deeper confusion.
That is, the insect swarm fleet followed the instructions of the protoss beacon to position itself.
Now that they are all here, where is the dormant warehouse or backup base of the protoss?
There is no biological signal or psychic magnetic field from the stars on the planet in front of us!
Also, for an ecological planet that is supposed to be full of vitality, it is simply impossible for the entire planet not to have any spiritual energy fluctuations.
No matter how lacking in spiritual energy a world is, as long as there is still life in this world, life itself will emit weak spiritual energy fluctuations from time to time.
But the Monitoring King Insect did not detect even the faintest psychic signal on this planet.
These two abnormal phenomena made Stukov quickly become alert. Instead of allowing the fleet to continue approaching the planet, he ordered them to immediately accelerate away from the outer orbit of the planet.
Moreover, it also sent a team of alien dragons to search the outer space of the planet to see if they could find something useful to determine the true condition of the planet.
The mutalisks acted quickly and found something quickly.
And it was these things they found that made Stukov feel a chill in his heart.
It was clearly a group of escape and dormant chambers dedicated to the protoss.
This kind of escape dormant cabin is specially used in ship escape systems.
It is the last resort for the crew to save their lives when the ship is about to be destroyed.
However, these escape dormant cabins were all empty, and the bulkheads of the dormant cabins were heavily damaged, obviously suffering huge damage.
Seeing these dormant chambers, Stukov almost immediately gave the order without hesitation, allowing the swarm fleet to start crossing in the opposite direction, trying to distance itself from the "beautiful" planet in front of him.
But unfortunately it was too late.
In the image in front of Xue Hua, a terrifying scene that shocked people's eyes soon appeared.
The surface of that seemingly extremely beautiful ecological planet suddenly began to undergo violent changes!
