274 Dead Hive
"So it's him!"
When everyone saw the avatar of the shipyard manager, they were surprised and suddenly realized.
If it were this guy, there would be no problem. If everyone died in battle and mutated, it would be magical to be able to escape to the second floor.
So this guy is either a 25th boy, a gap between Zerg's insertion, or his mind is bewitched.
He wanted to escape and save his life, but he didn't know whether he was followed by a mental controller or had given some hidden orders in his heart for a long time.
Anyway, after the safety door was closed, this guy sadly strangled himself to death and set off with other shipyard employees.
After a round, although there was no material gain, it also solved the mystery that has always lingered in everyone's mind.
At the same time, it also made the advance team realize the horror of mind control.
Zhang Chaozhong made up his mind with a serious expression: In the future, all military decision-making levels must be held by strong mental power!
Giving the lives of the soldiers under his command to those fragile guys is a betrayal of his comrades and irresponsible to the people.
At the same time, the main force should vigorously popularize mental strength and strengthen it to increase the ability to adapt to the battlefield.
Alas, in the future, in addition to equipment expenditure, the expenditure of mental potions will also be a big deal.
I don’t know if there are any cheaper and large amounts of psychotropic agents sold there…
...
"There is no value here, let's go find the fleet of death!"
Zhang Chaozhong's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Fei's expectant voice. He hid the solemn expression on his face and spoke in agreement.
"Yes, our future fleet is expected to be formed to the death fleet. Let's set off now."
"Okay, take a leash~"
Wang Fei waved his fist excitedly and turned his head to look at Xiu Pi in anticipation.
“Well…a little tricky…”
Xiu Pi's expression was a little hesitant, "The underground passage of this shipyard is well connected and can lead to eight directions. The tunnel is generally more than ten kilometers long.
At that time, the dead supervisor deleted all information about the fleet, so it would be a problem to determine where the fleet is going now a hundred years later."
"The fleet in the dead is insufficient staff and also brings a lot of supplies. He shouldn't go directly to the front line. Did he go to the surrounding base?"
Wang Fei thought about it and guessed.
"Well, this analysis is fine. Although I don't know the situation of the war at that time, judging from the current situation, the south should be the main battlefield of the war.
In this way, five passages to the south can be temporarily ruled out."
Quickly compare the large amount of data, reducing 8 channels to 3.
"Choose one of three... Is it possible that the fleet is scattered to different bases?"
Zhang Chaozhong also joined the discussion.
"Although separate operations can reduce the target, no matter how small the number of warships is, the fleet's target will not be small, right? The crew is limited, and group operations are conducive to the fleet's defense."
Wang Fei expressed different opinions. He did not think that the Zerg would make ambush complicated when they had internal responses. Instead of running around on the battlefield, it would be better to fight all over the place in one go.
Finally, Xu Pi gave a safe solution.
"The key is not the point of separation or joint walk, the key is to find a channel where the fleet is actually present.
So the safest way is to open the passage gate and create some movement. If a mutant is attracted to it, it should be the battlefield."
"really."
"Can."
Xiu Pi's proposal was unanimously agreed, and then the warships drove to the entrances of three passages, causing big noises, hoping that possible variants could be heard.
Two hours later, the hairy crab number opened at the entrance of the third passage.
The other two channels are very calm and there is no sign of the existence of mutants. The one with the greatest probability left is the one in front of you.
"Huh, open the door."
Wang Fei took a deep breath and calmed his ups and downs.
"Well, the gate rises."
The rest of the boat stands at the control panel next to the alloy gate, and the data cable extending from the palm is connected to the panel.
The opening authority of the passage gate is controlled by the main dispatch room of the hub floor, but unfortunately it has been destroyed by war.
So I can only take some trouble and decipher the door from the emergency control panel next to the door.
Galala...
Not long after, the door in front of him vibrated and rose upwards, but it seemed as if there was some force pulling on the other side, and the door rose slowly.
As the space exposed under the door became larger, everyone was surprised to find that some kind of biological tissue was actually stuck to the side of the door, which was forcibly torn off under the huge mechanical force.
"This is?"
The advance team, including Zhang Chaozhong, was a little confused. Although he knew that this was not normal, he did not know what was going on.
"The insect nest."
The expression that Wang Fei had originally expected disappeared instantly, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"It should be right now. The fleet of victims is located somewhere on this passage.
But how can the variant build a tissue structure similar to the insect nest? Do you know?"
Wang Fei's request for Zerg was far less rich than Xiu Pi's database, so he didn't guess it, so he asked directly.
Xiu Pi, who was standing at the entrance of the passage, naturally found the insect nest tissue inside the passage, but he was not nervous and explained slowly.
"This is indeed the organizational structure of the nest, but it is so primitive that even the lowest level 1 nest can barely reach it.
Generally speaking, the door covered by Level 1 insect nests cannot be opened and has been blocked long ago, so you can put away your solemn expressions."
Seeing that the door was almost open, Xiu Pi stepped into the passage, pulled off a piece of worm tissue from the wall with his hand, and put it in his hand to scan it.
"And, this nest has been dead for a long time."
"die?"
Zhang Chaozhong asked everyone about the doubts.
"Yes, the Zerg's nest is alive, you can think of it as a living building, controlled by a Zerg's nest consciousness.
After this consciousness obeys the insect, it can control the alienated tissues inside the insect nest for a series of functions such as defense, treatment, hatching, evolution, and communication.
And the primitive nest in front of us has probably been dead for decades."
"How did it die?" Wang Fei was a little curious.
"There is a high probability that there is a lack of biomass supply. After all, insect nests are living creatures. They cannot be broken without leaving them like base equipment.
The insect nest needs to consume a huge amount of biomass to maintain its own survival. Even if it is dormant, it is only in a low-cost state. When the stored energy is exhausted, it will still die."
"So that's it," Wang Fei knew, "But why are there insect nests here? If the Zerg wants to occupy this place as a secret base, wouldn't the base be better?"
"This is a problem," Xiupi thought for a while, and finally guessed with uncertainty:
"Maybe it was the mutant that made it by itself?
After all, they are half a Zerg, so it is possible to create such a primitive insect nest..."
