Chapter 592： Doubtful

Irma moved her legs mechanically and followed Aros step by step. Today she has seen too many incredible things, from stealth fighters, amoeba, corpse beasts, to golden armored warriors, Pyro soldiers, and earth-digging beetles. Everything she experienced was like acting in a fantasy movie, not facts, but everything was so real. She could sense her breathing, the weight of the c-14 piercing hand assault rifle in her hand, and could hear the communicator. The voice of the veteran to tell her how to manipulate the power armor.

She has forgotten fear, forgotten surprise, and chose to accept what has happened or will happen, which can also be called numbness.

Tang Fang didn't explain to her, he felt that it would not be too late to wait for the rescue of Philips and Benny.

He first led a few people into a dilapidated building in the distance to take off the power armor, and then dressed as a fugitive aristocratic entourage to run towards the prison area, and took the opportunity to turn his attention to the Zerg base to check the new elements just unlocked.

First select a worker bee, press the advanced construction hotkey, and find that there is no "polluter's den" for the polluter, and the "thunder beast's den" is also locked.

There are no new units to unlock for Zerg heroes, but Abathur's unlocking progress reaches 72%, and the increase is 4.

If the corpse beast unlocked neither a building nor a hero, what would it be?

He boxed a larva, and suddenly found that there was an arrow icon pointing to the right in the production menu bar, subconsciously pressed the hot key, and finally saw the two new units on the second page-Aberration and Hunger By.

Aberrant and hungry? Recall carefully that two types of units have appeared in the Battle of Insect Heart.

The shape of the deformed body is a bit like a centaur in Western mythology, with 4 legs and a human upper body-or a humanoid description is more appropriate. They are humans with higher phantom energy levels that have been genetically modified by the Zerg. Of course, compared to human beings, they have become terrifying and hideous harvesting machines.

The distortion body has 5 major components, which can also be said to be characteristics.

One: Z-shaped legs and feet, the deformed body has slender legs and feet that are two-thirds of the height, but generally it maintains a folded posture. Once straightened, it can cross units like cockroaches and hyenas. Their legs are not deliberately modified like the queen of worms to limit their mobility and prevent the queen from leaving the core of the nest. The aberrations are quick to move, and their attack ability exceeds that of most Zerg units.

Two: flexible claws. After fusion with the Zerg gene, the fragile arms of humans are strengthened and become harder, and the former fingers become sharp claws that can easily pierce hard steel.

Three: Variation cyst, aberration body is formed by genetic recombination of human and Zerg with phantom energy. There is a thick layer of peristaltic cysts on their backs, in which countless sources of biomass, complex fungi, and splitting enzymes are gestated, which gives the aberrant body strong vitality.

Four: Transformed glands. Hundreds of transformed glands grow in the digestive system of the aberrant body. By secreting a regulating hormone and invertase, the aberrant body can digest food very fast, and can convert food into Energy required by itself. It can even digest human bones in just a few seconds.

Five: Steel skin, the distortion body has a very hard shell. They are similar to the chitin armor of the Zerg queen Kerrigan, with strong defensive power, and can even fly some small gun bullets.

The cost of the distortion body is 150 crystals and 100 gas. Occupy population 2.

Next came the Hunger. Tang Fang didn't remember seeing this unit in any battle. It looked like a big ball of meat, with thick and short legs, and 3 huge mouths distributed in the belly. There is also a ring on the head that resembles the ferocious mouthparts of tunnel insects.

Through the introduction of the system to the hungry, I learned that it has 4 major components.

One: Multiple mouthparts. The belly of the hungry person has 3 sets of huge mouthparts, which are directly connected to the stomach, which takes up almost half of the body. Able to swallow objects the size of puppies or marines in one bite.

Two: Huge stomach cavity, the stomach cavity of the hungry is very huge, can hold up to half a row of puppies or marines, and can spit out at critical moments to attack the target. There is a special gland distributed in the stomach cavity, which can release an inhibitory hormone according to the judgment of the hungry to prevent the stomach cavity from secreting digestive juice and harm the insects carried inside. Of course, the hungry can also swallow the living marines and absorb them as food.

Three: Claws of digging, the hungry can soften the soil by vomiting the digestive juice with strong corrosive ability in the stomach cavity, and then use the lower limbs that can vibrate at supersonic speed to quickly dig holes and move in the ground like a cockroach. They can even survive for a long time in the depths of the earth, relying on the absorption of organic matter and mineral elements in the soil to supply various substances needed by the body.

Four: The spine head organ. The worm mouthpart at the top of the hungry is actually its fourth mouth, but most hungry people use it for ambushes. The spine head is a rectal-like structure that can stretch freely. Compare it to a huge worm parasitic in the body of a hungry person. When the hungry person moves in the superficial soil layer, the tentacles of the body surface can sense the subtle vibration of the ground to capture the location of the target. After that, the top worm will be like a tunnel worm. Suddenly stretched out from the ground like that, crushed and swallowed the target, and sent it to the stomach cavity.

The cost of the hungry is 200 crystals, 125 gas, and 2 population.

After browsing the system's brief introduction to the aberration and the hungry, Tang Fang fell into deep thought.

Aberration was used in the Battle of the Heart of the Swarm before. It was a very fleshy and good-attack unit, but because of the version upgrade at that time, the Aberration’s attack blood-sucking ability was cancelled, but from his mind, the interstellar system It can be seen from the introduction that the aberration produced by the system space should have a blood-sucking effect, but it is different from the blood-sucking in the game. It should be similar to the "corpse-eating" skill of the undead ghouls in Warcraft, by digesting the body tissue of the organism. Replenish yourself.

The vitality is strong, the defense is equally good, and it has blood-sucking attributes. The only flaw should be the weak attack power-to be precise, the attack method is relatively simple, but as a combat unit mainly responsible for attracting firepower , This is not a major flaw.

The cost of the hungry is not low, and the cost of 125 gas makes it chase the infected.

In fact, the hungry is not a magic unit. Its battlefield positioning overlaps with the tunnel bug. The tunnel worm is an extension of the worm tunnel network. As long as the bacteria blanket has enough nutrients, it can be stretched to an infinite length. The zerg combat unit inside is like riding a high-speed train. When the tunnel worm rushes out of the ground, it will be spit out one by one.

The hungry ones swallow a certain number of small Zerg units in advance. Just like an infected person swallows an infected human, they can be stored in the stomach cavity, and they can be burrowed out of the ground after reaching a designated location by running or sneaking underground, and quickly spit out the Zerg units in the stomach cavity.

If the tunnel bug is an underground train, then the hungry is a stealth biological armored vehicle, correspondingly. It has more offensive capabilities than tunnel worms. Whether it is a triple mouthpart or a top spine organ, it is a powerful weapon.

He sighed slightly, unexpectedly the life energy detected by the detector earlier came from the scarlet parasite. It's not that Congreve is still alive. He originally wanted to save him. He didn't expect to be self-defeating. Instead, he let the old Duke's bones disappear, but because of this, he unlocked two new Zerg combat units: Aberrations and The Hunger.

Why did the old duke get the scarlet parasite? Did he die because of this, or was he infected afterwards? Is it artificial? Or is it an accident?

He thought of this question again, if it was an accident, where did Congreve contract this parasite? He doesn't think that this kind of scarlet bug with a genetic structure similar to that of epic biological DNA is naturally generated. It must have come from a certain place, or even from a relic of Epsilon. The old duke who has a hobby of collecting is very likely to be disadvantaged. Accidentally died. If this is the case, Philips and Benny are also a pair of hapless couples, and they have encountered such a disaster.

But if it is not accidental but man-made, where does the parasite come from? Who is going to assassinate Congreve?

"Wait..." He suddenly thought of an anomaly. When the queen checked Congref's body, the scarlet parasite was in a dormant state, and it was stimulated to wake up because of the threat of phantom energy. Thus, Congreve was swallowed and turned into a corpse beast. If it weren't for discovering that there was a life energy reaction in the old duke's body, let the worm queen test it. What will happen in the next few days? Will it stay dormant forever? In case the great nobles who had made good friends with Congreve, and the seventh prince who came to express condolences on behalf of His Majesty, arrived at Kandal Island, the parasite suddenly broke out. What are the consequences?

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat overflowed his forehead. Those noble lords who are usually aloof do not have his ability. I am afraid that there will be a massacre in the hall. The flesh and blood of many people will be turned into nutrients for the growth of corpses. If the defense force of Kandal Island is at this time If you attack it without knowing it, you can imagine what the situation will be.

Once the disease-causing flora drifts across the ocean and arrives at the "Aitia" continent, the entire planet may be extinct. Not only that, but it will also trigger a political earthquake in the Turanx United Kingdom. The fate of the Knell family can be known by thinking about it.

Is it natural or man-made?

He hoped it was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. But whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the existence of the scarlet parasite is an extremely troublesome thing. Since Congreve can access it, it means that other people may also be exposed.

This kind of parasitic bacteria that can survive in the air and cold environment, and humans can be infected by breathing, is more terrifying than any known infectious disease in human history. Once it broke out, it was a catastrophe that spread to the entire planet.

He hesitated, as an outsider, should this matter be taken care of?

While thinking about it, a few people have come to the western prison area of ​​Dengger Palace, because this part of the area does not have many important buildings, and there are not a large number of security forces arranged like the east and the north. Seeing that the four people look embarrassed, the periphery Two soldiers walked out of the bunker facility, surrounded them with guns in their hands, and asked who they were.

Tang Fang raised his hands and stammered that he was Count Oval's entourage. He separated from the Count in the terrorist attack just now. He came here because he was not familiar with the terrain of the Dengger Palace.

The two soldiers looked closely at a few people for a moment and reported the situation to the superior commander.

After a few breaths, there was a reply from the above, asking two soldiers to **** a few people from the underground passage to the refuge facility in the east.

So, in the scolding of two soldiers. A group of 4 people passed the fire cordon safely and entered the hinterland of the Western District.

When walking through the building where the prison area is located, two soldiers one after another groaned at the same time and fell to the ground.

Aros and Roy moved them to a more secluded place and followed Tang Fang to the prison gate.

Said to be a prison area. In fact, it was nothing more than a warehouse for storing miscellaneous items. It was divided into several small rooms, which were usually used to punish the servants and soldiers who made mistakes. Philips, the old Benny and the drinkers of the old dukes were detained separately. In those cells.

After Emma hacked the surveillance system of the building where the prison is located, she soon knocked out the two guards at the door and opened the security door.

There are also several garrison soldiers in the hall. Seeing that the security door opened automatically, but there was no one outside, I was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, a fire burst out. Several garrison soldiers collapsed to the ground one after another.

Silver light flowed through the door, and a ghost appeared in invisibility. He walked to the front of the console and clicked a few buttons. The security door leading to the prison room opened. Tang Fang entered the corridor and went all the way to the prisoner of Philips and Benny. Go to the cell.

I walked forward for more than 30 meters and stopped outside a cell numbered 013. At the same time. The ghost in front of the console performs the unlock operation.

When the security door opened to both sides, Philips and Old Barney looked sad when they saw the four people in the corridor, the wrinkles on their faces seemed to be ironed. His mouth opened slightly, and his eyes stared round.

The old Benny twisted Philips' thigh vigorously, and the leader of the business group finally turned the breath that was stuck in his throat into a painful exhalation and jumped out of the bed.

Old Benny said with a blank face: "So it's not a dream."

Philips was speechless and wanted to ask him why he didn't experiment on himself, but he thought about it carefully. I feel that it is not good to do this, and it is more reliable to be more stable in front of the juniors.

"Uncle, captain. Are you okay." Irma walked into the room quickly, and took old Benny's arm to look ahead. Looking at the back, I was afraid that the two would be abused in prison. Old people like them could not live the torture of people, and what to do if they were left behind.

Old Benny shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine." After speaking, he sighed and said, "Well, Philips and I have some status and status. Those soldiers won't treat us like that. Respect is still there. The only worry is that the food is a little bit worse. You see, I am a little thinner."

Elma chuckled, and since Uncle Benny was still in the mood to make a joke, it meant nothing serious.

On the other hand, Philips walked to the Tang side, wondering why he came to Turanx in the United Kingdom so quickly, why he appeared on Kandal Island, and what happened to the outside world. Is Congreve really like Sur Baggio is dead as he said?

There are a lot of questions, not one sentence or two, and two Banshee fighters in the northern part of the Dengger Palace that are responsible for attracting the military’s attention have also sent urgent messages. More and more air force units and sophisticated surveillance equipment are on the battlefield. , Repeatedly compressing their range of activities, I am afraid they will be exposed to the military's vision soon.

"Go out first, this is not a place to talk."

It wasn't until then that Philips reacted, realized a problem, and stammered: "Isn't it...isn't Sulbaggio's order?"

He mistakenly thought that Tang Fang put pressure on Surbaggio through Henrietta, which saved two lives.

Elma stopped the conversation with the old Benny, shook her head, solemnly, and told them very seriously that this matter has nothing to do with Henrietta, and it has nothing to do with Surbaggio. Tang Fang is...robbing prison!

"Ji...Ji prison?"

Philips and the old Barney are going crazy. As successful businessmen who can talk to the old duke and have a shallow friendship, they have experienced this kind of thing for a long time, and they never thought that one day they would be in "Aitiya". The site was rescued by robbery.

"Tang Fang, it's not good, maybe it will irritate Surbaggio even more." Old Barney said, "We are not afraid of shadows. We are all friends of Duke Congreve and we have no motive to harm him. Surbaggio should have made a mistake."

Philips was silent.

Tang Fang said: "Under the power, if you say you are guilty, you are guilty, and you are guilty if you are not guilty."

Philips patted the old Benny's hand, shook his head, sighed heavily, and said, "Sulbaggio needs a political victim."

The old Benny halted when he heard the words, but Irma couldn't get back in time and stepped on his ankle.

"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

"No, UU reading is nothing, just a little emotional."

He remembered a sentence, "One court is the emperor, one courtier", ordinary people are accustomed to sighing, seldom can smell the cruelty inside.

"Tang Fang, have you ever thought that doing so will offend Surbaggio, in case..."

"Nothing in case, if Surbaggio can't accept such a thing, then I will fight until he accepts it."

Old Benny stopped talking. He knew that the guy in front could do better.

Philips spit out two words in a low voice: "Thank you." There was gratitude to Tang Fang, but it was more helpless and spurned by the hidden rules of this society.

Several people walked out of the prison area and saw the blue sky again. Philips and the old Benny did not show the joyful expressions of those who just walked out of the high wall. On the contrary, their expressions were a little serious because of the explosion and the sound of the explosion from the northern part of the Dengger Palace. The flames that rose from time to time made them realize that in order to save the lives of the two, Tang Fang had already gone to the opposite side of Surbaggio, and such a confrontation was very likely to destroy the entire "Aitiya", and even the entire duchy.
