After Aman made the decision to leave with him, Xue Hua temporarily placed the girl in a small house bought by him in the port area, and then left his will clone to take care of the girl while he transferred his consciousness
It's time for the swarm's second capture operation against No. 7.
This time, the insect mothers responsible for the operation set up a dragnet near the hut where he was located, and the air and ground were tightly surrounded by insect swarm units.
Just when Xue Hua was about to give the order to take action, No. 7, who was lying on the bed in the cabin to calm down his genetic disorder, seemed to sense something abnormal. He struggled to get up from the bed, swinging his long, long legs like a disgusting snake.
Mao's fishtail carefully moved to the wooden window of the hut, opened the wooden board covering the window, and scanned around vigilantly with his strange bud-shaped eyes.
Previously in the Xel'Naga laboratory, although No. 7 finally succeeded in escaping from the swarm's ambush by using the corpse collector's entrance channel, he was still exposed to the concentrated self-destruction of a large number of poisonous banelings and the explosive stingers of the Hydralisks.
suffered near-fatal injuries.
No. 7 finally struggled to swim along the coast to the pier of the port area, and took advantage of the deserted entire port area to break into a poor family's home.
At that time, he was extremely weak and could not even deal with a stronger ordinary person, so his original plan was to hide around the house for a while and then wait for an opportunity to capture one or two poor people to "replenish energy."
Evolved people like them who have received the "Magic of Evolution" cannot drink therapeutic potions indiscriminately after "appearing the divine body". This is likely to worsen the genetic disorder in their bodies, and eventually even cause irreversible damage.
Body variation.
Therefore, in order to restore his original human body, he must use a large amount of human flesh and blood to strengthen his human bloodline, so that he can gradually restore the balance of the restless abnormal genes in his body.
However, not long after hiding in the utility room of the house, No. 7 discovered that the owners of the house were actually two children who were less than twenty years old, and the stronger boy among them seemed to have just grown up.
Recovering from serious injuries.
This situation made him feel very lucky, so he broke into the house without hesitation and subdued Aman's brother when he was not paying attention.
Although at the last moment, Aman ran out of the house with her strong survival instinct, her brother eventually became the "nutrition" for No. 7 to suppress genetic disorders.
After eating Aman's brother, No. 7 felt that the genetic restlessness in his body had calmed down a little, so he lay on the bed to rest and recuperate.
At first, he wasn't too worried about the little girl who ran away, because King's Port was now at a critical juncture, and no one would transfer precious combat power from the front of the battlefield to deal with her just because of the words of a little girl from the slums.
However, just now, No. 7, who was resting, suddenly had a wave of ominous premonitions in his heart. Although he was not a legendary powerhouse, and this premonition was not very accurate, No. 7, who had become a frightened bird, immediately became alert.
.
He temporarily stopped practicing, raised his vigilance to the highest level, and wandered around the room with his disgusting and weird body, trying to find the source of the uneasy premonition.
But this time, the bug mothers responsible for carrying out the mission were very vigilant. The Zerg units surrounding the hut from all sides were all invisible shadow bugs, lurking cockroaches and infected people.
No. 7, who lacked the ability to detect invisibility, did not see anything at the window that he considered suspicious, which made him hesitate. He wondered whether the omen just now was an illusion caused by his overly sensitive nerves.
Number Seven does not want to leave this safe and hidden shelter now, because with his current dignity, if something unexpected happens while looking for the next shelter, it will be a disaster for him.
.
Therefore, although No. 7 increased his vigilance, he did not rush out of the house immediately. Instead, he arranged some small alarm traps at the door and windows of the house, and then lay back on the bed.
Went to rest.
He must now seize all the time to calm down the genetic disorder in his body and strive to regain a certain strength as soon as possible, so that he can prey on more humans with higher efficiency and return to his normal human form as soon as possible.
Before he broke into the Xel'Naga laboratory and tried to steal the "Biological Essence Extractor", No. 1 had made an agreement with him that if anything unexpected happened to the plan, the two of them would immediately separate and leave the Western Border. Alas
Meet at an abandoned temple in the Nok Desert.
Number Seven also wears a crown with a fragment of Skeleton King's soul sealed inside. As long as he is not captured alive, Skeleton King will never be able to leave the underground tomb.
And this means that the Skeleton King will stay in the first world forever. Although it cannot come out to make trouble, there is no way for heaven to expel it back to the second world.
This would be a disaster for the entire first world.
Because as long as the Skeleton King does not die or is not exiled, the entire Western Continent will never have peace under its harassment.
Therefore, No. 7 must be careful and recover from his injuries quickly. As long as he can successfully recover and escape from King's Harbor, no one else will be able to find him again.
But what No. 7 doesn't know is that his series of actions just now have been fed back to Xue Hua and the insect mothers through the monitoring king insect. Once the alarms he placed at the doors and windows are noticed in advance, what will happen?
It's of no use anymore.
Seeing No. 7 lying back on the bed, the two mother bugs immediately gave orders, and dozens of shadow bugs quietly approached the house from all directions. They used their sharp single-molecule blades to gently open the windows and doors.
He used the lock bolt, dismantled the warning trap set by the opponent with ease, and sneaked into the house without No. 7 noticing it at all.
At the same time, the burrowing cockroaches also dug through the shallow foundation of the house and quietly gathered under the bed where No. 7 was lying.
The Aman brothers and sisters belong to the lowest level of the poor, and the house they live in is naturally not much big. The small house only has a living room separated by thin wooden boards and two bedrooms that can only accommodate a thatched bed.
There are only four walls inside and the decoration is very simple.
However, this environment also facilitated the insect swarm's capture operation. When the insect mothers saw that all units were in place, the order to start the operation was immediately issued.
The shadow bugs who received the order were the first to take action. They silently gathered outside one of the bedrooms, and suddenly stretched out their single-molecule blades and chopped up the thin wooden wall with a few blows. Qi, who was resting in the bedroom,
No. jumped up from the bed like a frightened rabbit, but before he could make the next move, the bed under him and almost the entire bedroom suddenly collapsed with a "boom"!
"Hiss!!" No. 7, who had lost the ability to speak, screamed sharply, and the tiny tendrils on his back suddenly swelled, stretching to the ceiling and grabbing the main beam of the house.
No. 7 tried to pull himself up through these tendrils, and then broke through the roof of the house to escape, but how could the cockroaches and infected people who had already gathered under the bedroom miss this opportunity?
More than a dozen strands of acid spit immediately spurted out from the cave in the bedroom, pouring heavily on the tentacles extended by No. 7. The intense burning pain from the acid spit made No. 7 scream in pain, but he still pulled tightly.
The main beam is unwilling to let go.
At this time, the shadow bugs that had already surrounded him completely cut off his last hope. Cold light flashed in the air, and all the tendrils extending out of No. 7 were cut off. He howled and fell into the big hole under the bedroom.
The infected people who had been prepared in the cave immediately used mold growth to directly control him.
