Chapter 007: Genetic Memory
Shen Zheng ran towards that breath without hesitation.
He was like a wolf that smelled the scent of prey, his eyes flashed with hunger, and he pursued it all the way. He quickly passed through the training ground and came to another military camp.
That was the military building of the fourth team's barracks. Somewhere in this building, that alluring aura was constantly exuding, making Shen Zheng's hungry brain feel even stronger hunger.
"What on earth is it?" he thought as he looked around at the military building.
There are no sentries standing guard here, only a veteran on duty, sitting in the guard room reading a book, showing a silly smile from time to time, obviously being attracted by the plot of the book.[
"What a good opportunity!" Shen Zheng's eyes were shining, he looked around, and without hesitation, he ducked and sneaked over, passed under the door of the guard room quickly, and got into the military building.
All the military buildings of the Wolf Fang Legion have the same layout, so for Shen Zheng, this place is no different from the building he lives in. He can find anywhere he wants with his eyes closed.
What's more, there is always that aura guiding him on the path.
Soon, he came to a door on the fifth floor. The door was very strong and was a reinforced safety door made of steel plates. The name on the door was "Emergency Ordnance Room."
That kind of aura was emanating from the armory room. At this moment, it became more intense due to Shen Zheng's approach, making Shen Zheng almost go crazy.
But Shen Zheng knew that the emergency ordnance room stored emergency weapons and other military equipment. It was a backup weapons depot for emergency use when soldiers were unable to get weapons from the weapons depot in case of emergencies. It was usually used as a backup depot. Strictly speaking, this thick steel door cannot be opened even with a 20mm rapid blast.
He couldn't get in without the key.
But there are exceptions, for example - the door is not locked at all.
I don’t know whether it was due to carelessness or because I felt that no more dangerous elements would be able to steal in the Wolf Fang Army’s barracks, so the emergency ordnance workshop in the fourth team’s military building was not locked, and The door was still slightly open, revealing a small crack.
Hunger made Shen Zheng lose his mind. He couldn't bear it any longer, opened the door and rushed in. The voice-activated lights immediately turned on, illuminating the emergency weapons room.
Fortunately, this is a strictly protected room, so there is no room at all. Otherwise, someone outside would notice that the lights suddenly turned on and would know that someone had entered.
Without looking around blankly, his eyes stared directly at something like a marching bag. That thing was carried on the back of a certain death squad member not long ago, but now it has been placed in the emergency armory.
It was an insect egg collector that had been used on the death battlefield before. Apparently, when a member of the death squad was sorting out the collector, he accidentally forgot a collected insect egg in it.
The hunger made him lose the power to think, so he rushed over, opened the collector, and saw a black insect egg.
There is only one.
That kind of alluring aura was emitted by this fist-sized thing. At this time, this round and black thing broke away from the shackles of the collector and began to emit a stronger aura.
In Shen Zheng's opinion, this was simply a delicious delicacy. He stared at the insect egg and grabbed it with both hands.
Reason was telling him that this was not edible, but his instinct kept urging him - quickly, swallow it!
Just when his will and instinct were struggling against each other, a force flowed out from his fingertips and seeped into the strong shell of the insect egg. In an instant, the shell became torn apart, and the liquid inside quickly changed. It turned into a purple mist, condensed into a line and sprayed towards Shen Zheng's forehead.[
A cool and comfortable feeling enveloped his forehead, and the strong hunger suddenly disappeared.
It disappeared instantly.
"What happened?" Shen Zheng looked at the shell fragments of the insect eggs in his hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, a burst of severe pain instantly hit his body. He had the feeling of being penetrated by a giant monster and being continuously stretched to the point of explosion. This feeling was not too unfamiliar to him, and he was accepting it. He also had a clear experience on the day when the insects were planted.
What's going on?
He bent over in pain, knelt on the ground, curled up and fell down again, balling up like a chrysalis on the ground, his body trembling constantly. In these bursts of trembling, He felt as if his body was being torn apart inch by inch, as if he had been shattered into fine crumbs, and as if his body and soul had been broken down into particles.
Am I going to die? Am I going to die?
He asked himself in his heart, and then burst out with a strong will to survive. The power of the Foundation Establishment Insect that was perfectly combined with him surged violently at that moment, surging up and down his whole body, instantly decomposing the The pain gradually subsided.
The physical pain disappeared and was replaced by a kind of extreme comfort. Shen Zheng couldn't help but lie quietly, wandering in this comfort. The feeling was like drinking a cold glass of wine in the summer. Orange juice, drinking a cup of slightly scalded hot milk in winter, and getting the fresh air in the forest when I was about to suffocate.
He was so lost in this beautiful feeling that he forgot where he was for a moment.
He didn't know how long it took, but he was awakened by the sound of footsteps and laughter. He suddenly realized that he was in the military building of another team, and had also entered the strictly controlled emergency armory. If he was discovered, it would be dangerous. Small crime.
This shock made him wake up immediately and jumped up in a hurry.
As soon as his body stood firm, a surging force began to flow rapidly in his body. This force surged from the inside out and suddenly broke through the barrier of his skin and poured out of his body. He felt that he There is something hard formed on the surface of the body to protect itself.
"What is this?" He raised his hand in surprise, and what he saw were the two hands exposed outside the military uniform. At this moment, the two palms made of flesh and blood had completely changed their appearance, and the surface was covered with a layer of Covered by a steel-hard shell, it's like wearing a pair of armor.
This is... Shen Zheng was stunned.
The power of insects!
That’s right, you can’t be wrong!
In an instant, this thought flashed in his mind - the strange scene just now was a bizarre process of plantation, and the change in his body now was a sign of the success of the plantation. He already had what he was called The power that the unformed insect should possess from the insect egg inhaled into the body!
How could this happen? How could a person complete a plant insect with physical strength? This is simply unbelievable!
There was no time to think too much, the footsteps and laughter were getting closer and closer, and he did not want to be sent to a military prison to await trial and punishment.
Collecting the shell fragments of the insect eggs, he quickly ran out of the emergency armory, ran along the corridor to the bathroom, opened the door and ducked in. Almost at that moment, soldiers also came along the stairs. In the corridor on the fifth floor, if Shen Zheng had been slower, he would have been seen by them.
This bathroom faces the back of the military building, which is just a piece of grass and high walls, with no sentries. Shen Zheng stood in front, looking at the height from the fifth floor to the ground, and smiled bitterly.[
"Jumping like this is just looking for death. I was so confused. I only thought that this could lead directly to the back of the building, but I forgot that this was the fifth floor..."
It's over, now I can only wait to be caught.
At this moment, the power that had surged in his body began to stir again, concentrating along the nerves in his body and seeping into his brain. A kind of knowledge and memory that seemed to be natural suddenly appeared in his mind. Inside, he was surprised to find that it contained some skills that could be used after possessing this steel-like carapace.
The genetic memory of insects!
He immediately thought of this. In his past studies and training in the military camp, he had learned this knowledge - the truly powerful ones are not ordinary insect planters, but those among the insect planters who can implant multiple The real supermen who breed worms. And among these real supermen, the most powerful ones are those who can receive the genetic memory contained in the worm eggs.
In other words, this kind of insect planter can directly absorb the Zerg's combat, survival and all the innate abilities acquired through inheritance without going through acquired training!
What struck Shen Zheng's mind at this moment was the skill that steel beetles, the strongest among insects, use to protect themselves when they fall from the sky - or to put it simply, how they can jump from high places without getting hurt.
"Great!" He couldn't help but trembled with excitement.
It doesn't matter why he can miraculously plant insects on his own. What matters is that he has not only become a superman who can implant two kinds of insects, but also has the ability to receive the genetic memory of insect eggs!
He seemed to see that the hell of suffering that surrounded him was falling rapidly, far away from him, and a piece of light had already appeared above, waiting for him to step into it.
The sound of footsteps was approaching, and he didn't have time to think about it further. He immediately opened the door and jumped down after seeing clearly the people and the ground below.
The fall caused the sound of wind to appear in his ears. In the whine of the wind, he quickly gathered his body according to the genetic memory instructions in his mind, letting the strong carapace on his back serve as his protection, like a ball. Usually it falls straight down from the air and falls to the ground.
When his back came into contact with the earth, a slight shock spread throughout his body. It felt like he had fallen on a spring bed. He jumped up in surprise and saw that he was knocked out of the ground. He pressed the insect egg fragments into the small pit, buried it with soil, and then immediately ran away along the wall.
He consciously retracted the carapace into his body. When he retracted it, he clearly felt that under the hard shell, there was a soft tissue connected to his skin and flesh, like a spring, which allowed the impact on the carapace to be evenly distributed. Disperse the body to minimize the power transmitted to its own body.
Powerful, so powerful! Is this the power of the steel beetle?
This is my power?
He returned to the military camp of his third team and entered the military building. When he returned to his dormitory, the other three recruits in the same dormitory had come back and were lying on their beds busy with their own affairs. Seeing him come back, the three of them They all showed expressions of contempt and jealousy.
"Hey, genius, you finished dinner so early and came back so late. Did you go somewhere to meet your lover?" A recruit teased him.
Shen Zheng didn't intend to ignore him. He would hear this kind of teasing several times every day.
"Huh, some people are just lucky." Another recruit said, "I thought I was overestimating my ability and joined the death squad. I must have gone back and freed up a bed in our house so that we could have a place to store our sundries. No. To think that he actually encountered a battlefield where both sides were dead, and that he was given the limelight of acting together with the formation leader, bah!"
"What did you say?" Shen Zheng could endure the ridicule, but this blatant curse made him unable to bear it any longer. He walked to the other person's bed and stared at the other person.
"I said..." The recruit seemed to want to pick a fight with Shen Zheng, but as soon as he sat up from the bed, his eyes met Shen Zheng's.
He felt that the other person's eyes were shining with a terrifying light. At that moment, he couldn't help but fell back, trembling with fear.
"Don't mess with me." Shen Zheng glanced at the other two people and received the same effect.
Chapter completed!
