Chapter 276: Victory and the After Hand

The swarm of insects quickly disappeared into the tubes one by one, as quickly as they had arrived.

The aliens in the pool of blood struggled to get up.

They took off their masks and panted heavily.

This exposed their appearances.

Their faces were green and wrinkled, and their noses were very shallow, almost non-existent.

Their mouths were like the mouthparts of some kind of insect, and they looked a little like visitors from the underworld.

Ling Pingan looked at them and thought for a while. Then, he took a screenshot of their appearances and saved them.

Perhaps they would be useful in the future!

However, at the instant he took the screenshot…

Seven or eight octopus aliens had already jumped up from every corner.

Their sudden appearance caught the aliens off guard.

The two aliens, who were obviously inexperienced, were caught off guard. The two octopus aliens hugged their faces tightly.

They struggled with all their might, but to no avail.

The remaining alien immediately raised his knife and cut off the tail that had pierced through his chest.

He had just crouched down and was about to pick up the weapon on the ground.

Suddenly, he felt something and turned around. Three drones were coming from three different directions to attack him.

Three sharp and powerful tongues pierced through his body.

Then, an alien octopus landed on his face.

He struggled in pain.

His struggle allowed Ling Pingan to finally see clearly how the alien octopuses parasitized.

It turned out that these things were just a thing wrapped around a parasitic embryo.

When it pounced on a creature’s face, it would use its eight legs and tail to firmly hold the victim in place. Then, it would forcefully pry open the victim’s mouth and inject the embryo in its body through a slender tube, it would inject it into the victim’s body.

These things developed very quickly!

In just a few seconds, the chests of the three aliens had all exploded!

Three small things drilled out from the bodies of these three aliens.

They seemed to have obvious differences from the same species that had parasitized from the human body.

The most obvious thing was the mouth, which still retained the characteristics of the aliens’mouths.

Ling Pingan looked at it and was stunned.

“This thing actually changes according to the host…” He muttered to himself, “Interesting!”

… … ..

In the mother Queen’s Mossy Land.

The bulging follicles exploded again.

A staggering little bug appeared in the mossy land.

It looked very strange.

Its appearance was similar to a newly hatched little alien, but its body structure was the same as that of a bug. Most of its structure was a horny exoskeleton.

It only had a simple nervous system and muscles.

A long, sharp tail appeared behind it.

However, it only staggered a few steps before it suddenly fell down.

The thirty-fourth experiment had failed!

However, the Queen mother did not seem to mind.

Its body trembled, and new follicles bulged once again.

Failure was a very normal thing for it.

Every time it produced a new unit, it would experience countless failures!

Every generation of the Queen mother’s memories in the genes had countless failures.

It was never easy to fuse with the genes of other species.

Therefore, it was not in a hurry.

Its guards kept flying back and bringing back the tissues captured by the worker ants.

One by one, egg-holding worms, lumps of tissue and armor covered in corrosive blood.

These things were all absorbed by its powerful moss ground.

In the digestive juice, they were decomposed into deoxyribonucleic acid.

Everything recorded in the spiral-shaped gene was being re-examined.

As these things increased, the Queen mother’s understanding of her enemy also increased.

Her work began to progress rapidly.

New follicles began to bulge.

These were all experiments!

The Queen mother was experimenting on a large scale!

This was because its psionic power could sense its enemy.

The enemy Queen mother, which also had a honeycomb-like structure, was about to escape.

Moreover, it was also changing its tactics.

Now, whoever improved faster could win this competition.

The Queen mother’s psionic power network was connected to every follicle that was hatching.

All the life that was being nurtured in these follicles began to show itself directly to it.

And so..

Psionic power flashed past, and most of these follicles directly shattered.

They were failures, so they were mercilessly eliminated!

For the Queen mother, it now had the advantage.

Because it could make unlimited trial and error, the cost was almost zero.

When the master created it, he had already laid the foundation for its present day.

This mossy ground made of its secretions and psionic power.

It was a trial and error that consumed almost zero energy.

Therefore, the price of trial and error could be recovered.

As for its opponent, as long as it made one mistake, it would be beyond redemption!

… … ..

In the deepest part of the pyramid.

The queens that were hung and bound by iron chains were constantly screaming under the stimulation of electric currents.

This queen, who had lived for hundreds of years, already possessed wisdom.

It screamed, calling for its own offspring.

Male bees began to gather toward it from one pipe after another.

And on its abdomen, the egg-laying nest.

New and smaller eggs were developing.

It had already sensed the existence of its enemy.

That was a terrifying opponent!

A predator just like it.

But..

That opponent was inferior to it!

Because..

It couldn’t move..

So, as long as it approached it and injected its eggs into its body…

Then..

The Queen knew that she was about to welcome a brand new descendant, a descendant that would change their species!

So, it rapidly consumed the energy reserves of the past hundreds of years.

It was desperate!

One by one, the drones jumped from the pipes to their mother.

Then, the drones screamed.

They rolled up their tails and stabbed at their own bodies.

Roar!

They screamed.

Corrosive blood splashed all over their mother.

The chains and shackles were quickly corroded in the blood!

The queen was freed from the sacrifice of her own offspring!

She jumped onto the high platform.

Three large and strong offspring appeared in front of her.

Surrounded by these three offspring, the Queen burrowed deeper underground.

The other drones and ostriches followed the tubes and began to rush towards the insects that attacked again.

They wanted to buy time for the Queen.

The entire pyramid was in a battle.

The drones were stronger and more agile.

But there were many workers, and once they were hit, they would self-destruct immediately!

The network of info element that was enveloped by psionic power allowed the queen mother to give orders and command at the same time.

And the Queen mother’s will was cold.

A thousand worker ants for one enemy was a profit.

Because the enemy will lose supplies.

That Queen mother’s energy is limited!

But the Queen mother is still too young, lack of war experience.

And its opponent is not the same, although imprisoned for hundreds of years, but every 100 years, it can have a war experience.

So, in the depths of the pyramid.

It began to build a nest.

One egg after another were laid.

These eggs are very small, only the size of a fist.

These were specially prepared for the opponent.

At the same time, it felt its opponent.

The worker ants..

It screamed and gave the order.

All the drones and ostriches resisted even more fiercely.

They didn’t budge an inch in the pipeline.

Sharp teeth, tail, strong armor, flexible and agile body structure.

Gave them an advantage.

Even their enemies outnumbered them.

Thus, all the pipelines quickly turned into an asura field.

The flesh and blood of the worker ants and the drones mixed together.

The corrosive blood also corroded the pipelines.

Finally, the structure of the pyramid couldn’t take it anymore, and pieces of rubble began to fall.

One after another, the drones, along with their enemies, fell down.

However, this gave the worker ants a free hand.

They no longer had to be restricted by space.

They swarmed up!

All the drones and oocytes were instantly attacked by more than 100 times the number of enemies.

Their bodies were covered with worker ants.

One by one, the flying insects shot out poisonous needles with neurotoxins.

These poisonous needles pierced the bodies of the drones and immediately released intense neurotoxins.

The battle was over.

The worker ants began to clean up the battlefield.

Flesh, blood, tissue, bones..

And the ones belonging to their own people could not be spared.

All of them had to be retrieved!

The will of the Queen mother screamed in the psionic power network.

And in front of her, the bulging follicles on the mossy ground finally exploded!

New flying insects with wings appeared one after another.

When they spread their wings, they were at least 30 centimeters long.

Each of their bodies were curved.

Inside that curved body was a embryo!

This embryo was all of these new flying insects.

Their master liked parasites..

Then they would carry out the parasites to the end!

These flying insects immediately flew forward and threw themselves into the battlefield.

But at this moment, the wall of the pyramid suddenly shattered.

Stones fell down one by one.

The huge Queen, with her guards, rushed out!

On the Queen’s huge body, there were small octopus xenomorphs crawling one after another.

This was its final blow.

And also its strongest blow!

You die, or I live!

The Queen opened her mouth and shouted!

Roar!

He began to vent his emotions!

In order to climb out, he also wanted to destroy the pyramid.

He sacrificed two of his last three children and let them madly crash into the most important structure of the pyramid — the stress wall.

Let them crash to death!

The corrosive blood and the previous impact directly caused a pillar supporting the pyramid to collapse.

The solid structure of the pyramid immediately began to collapse.

This allowed it to charge out.

It also allowed it to face its enemy head-on!

It had already seen it!

On a mossy ground, there was a huge piece of meat standing tall.

It was a meatball that looked like a tumor!

Roar!

It cried out, and with the help of its last descendant, it charged at high speed with large strides.

The octopus-type abnormals on its body were also prepared!

They were ready at any time to jump towards the enemy.

They did not care about the cost of sending the embryos they carried into its body.

For this, the Empress deliberately shrunk their bodies in order to exchange for more.

For this, even the empress herself had become a sacrifice.

As long as they succeeded, as long as one embryo entered..

Then..

The entire species could be reborn!

This wasn’t intelligence!

It was based on survival instincts!

The instincts of their species, born in order to reproduce and evolve!

..

The Queen mother sensed the appearance of her enemy at the first moment.

Before they crawled out, it had already sensed the smell in the air and the slight tremors underground through the info element.

Therefore, it immediately did two things.

The first was to order all the flying insects to return at any cost and for the Queen mother’s guards to attack immediately.

The second was to immediately stop the experiment and hatch the worker ants with all their might!

Hundreds of follicles bulged at the same time.

The worker ants were the unit with the shortest production speed.

Stimulated by psionic power, these follicles only bulged for three seconds before they hatched.

Hundreds of worker ants immediately rushed towards their enemy under the urging of info element.

They only had one mission — to slow down the enemy and prevent them from getting close to the Queen mother.

And around the Queen mother, several huge follicles began to bulge.

It was producing brand new large units to fight against the enemy.

The fiercest, coldest, and most powerful enemy that the swarm had ever encountered.

Thus, countless flying insects immediately turned back.

They spared no expense and dove down from the sky, charging towards the Queen mother’s enemies at high speed.

Poisonous needles and acid continuously sprayed out.

Unfortunately, the Queen mother was too big.

She was too strong.

The surface of this terrifying monster was smooth and hard. Most poisonous needles and acid could not break through its defense.

Occasionally, some of them could not cause any damage to it. They only stimulated it.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Queen mother’s guards began to appear.

Lumps began to fall from the abdomen of these large flying insects.

These biochemical organs immediately accelerated as soon as they left the mother’s body.

The mixed psionic power immediately reacted with the poisonous liquid and exploded.

Clusters of poisonous fog exploded!

In front of the Empress’s body, clusters of poisonous fog that were highly toxic and highly corrosive were created.

At the same time, hundreds of worker ants rushed at her without caring about their own lives.

They directly faced their enemies with their bellies.

Clusters of strong acid exploded and doused their enemies’ skin.

However, the Empress’s charging speed was not restricted.

She ignored all pain and damage!

She ignored her legs that had been corroded by the strong acid, and she ignored the strong corrosive fog that was stimulated.

She only had one thought — to rush to the front of the enemy.

If she rushed over, it would be victory!

All the energy in her body was mobilized.

The strong alien drone beside her used its body as a shield to block and block the attacks for her.

In the end, the powerful drone couldn’t hold on anymore.

It collapsed to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, the queen was less than 100 meters away from the Queen.

She could touch the moss in three seconds at most.

At this moment, the Queen gave a calm order in the info element network.

All the flying insects, worker ants, and guard insects gathered together.

Then, they charged at the Queen.

Right now, the ants had only one goal, which was to slow down this terrifying monster.

One second was good.

Hundreds of flying insects gathered into a group, and they directly charged at the high-speed charging queen.

Balls of strong acid exploded and rained down on her head.

The worker ants that had gathered into a ball rolled crazily and were mounted on one of the queen’s legs.

More than ten kilograms of strong acid splashed out and corroded one of the queen’s legs, exposing its bones.

Its body was also corroded by the strong acid and poisonous fog of the flying insects and the guards.

Its speed finally slowed down.

However, it was only a few meters away from the queen.

It used the last of its strength to rush up to the mossy ground.

The octopus-type abnormals lying on its body all flew up.

Their soft abdomens aimed at the immobile meat ball, and their eight legs and tails desperately advanced.

As long as they could touch the meat ball!

Everything would be over.

A new queen would grow out of its body!

The race would be reborn!

However..

At this moment, the Queen mother’s body trembled.

The dimension stone energy stored in its body immediately burst out.

Under the stimulation of this powerful energy, the few huge follicles immediately exploded!

A few huge beetles jumped out from within.

They were the size of a calf and their bodies were covered in barbs and cutin armor.

They stood up and formed a solid cutin wall in front of the Queen mother!

More importantly, strong acids were shot out from the holes in their bellies!

The octopuses were hit directly by the strong acids in the air.

The Queen’s final effort failed!

Because on the Queen mother’s mossy ground, in the bulging follicles, new flying insects spread their wings and broke out of their shells.

These curved flying insects quickly flew toward the Queen mother.

Then, one by one, they shot out the parasitic embryo embedded in their bodies.

The Queen raised her head and saw a group of vertebrate-like sharp objects piercing toward her already corroded and defenseless body.

And the offspring it had high hopes for were falling from the sky one by one.

Even if some lucky ones managed to avoid the strong acid net, they only crashed into the solid cuticle biological wall.

Behind the wall, the Queen mother was protected very well!

It lost!

It was utterly defeated!

The Queen mother’s body trembled. In the psionic power’s info element network, the emotion of victory was expressed in every single individual.

It was now going to enjoy the spoils of war.

Everything about this enemy would be digested by it.

Its organization, its social structure, its ecology, everything about it..

Everything written in its genes would be digested and become the future Queen mother’s combat method!

… … … ..

Ling Pingan looked at the light screen. The battle had already ended.

He clicked the button to leave with a satisfied nod.

This material would be enough for him to write for a few days.

Hmm, he had to go back and think about the plot. He had to adapt, and the game and novels would blossom!

Opening his eyes, he raised his head and looked at the time. It was more than eight o’clock.

He stretched his body and turned on the lights in the bookstore.

Meow!

The Kitten, Bastet, stood up from the counter.

It jumped down and acted coquettishly beside Ling Pingan’s feet.

“Little darling…” Ling pingan stroked its head.

… … … ..

Antarctica, under the ice sheet.

Everything was over.

The pyramid had collapsed.

Everything was buried in the rubble.

Under the rubble, the bodies of worker ants and flying insects were mixed in with the drones and oocytes.

Deep underground.

A few green circular objects were motionless as if they had been petrified.

This was the empress’s backup plan!

Success was indeed gratifying!

Failure also left seeds!

These dormant heirs were waiting, waiting.

Above the ice sheet, a satellite scanned over.

It had discovered everything here.

A new expedition team had begun to form!

Driven by curiosity, soon humans will set foot here again!
