Yang Luo had seen various forms of space Zerg in the game "Abyss", but he had never had such complicated emotions as he did today.
I used to think it was a game.
Now I find that that thing is probably a galactic civilization simulator!
Hera has successfully entered the underground base.
Because Naldo was guarding his daughter, the staff of the security system did not check Hera too strictly.
When they asked Hera to hand over the backpack, Hera kept tugging on the straps of the backpack and allowed them to use various means to inspect the inside and outside of the backpack, as well as the various documents and files in the backpack.
There is nothing unusual about the backpack itself.
According to Lu, what can really affect Hera is the weak biological factor that Yang Luo left on his backpack.
To put it simply, it is smell.
After passing the security check, Hera and her father got on the shuttle bus, and there were several security gates in front of them.
Yang Luo waited quietly;
Waiting for the moment when the real Zerg appears in front of him.
He has tried to recall the information about the Zerg in "The Abyss" many times in the past few days.
If you think of part of the game background of the "Abyss" game as a chronicle of the next twenty-eight years of this galaxy.
One of the larger insect pest incidents occurred in the Empire's New Calendar Year 731, which was six years after Yang Luo's moment. A small-scale insect plague broke out in the Sherman Empire without warning. Within the next ten years, a small insect plague broke out.
A series of the worst second-day disasters in the history of the Sherman Empire.
Yang Luo had not paid much attention to this matter before.
That is actually still quite far away from now.
The active cycle of space Zerg has an interval of hundreds of years. At this point in time, it should be a period of low incidence of insect pests. All countries have relaxed their vigilance against space Zerg. The pest disaster index issued by relevant international organizations has always been at the lowest level.
Everyone's focus is also on the multi-level hegemony resulting from the rapid rise of the New Federation.
No one would expect that bugs would suddenly appear, and no one would do an early warning against bugs.
But who would have thought.
Under the peaceful Ram star, there is a base for researching the space Zerg. The New Federation has already made plans to use the insect plague to trigger a comprehensive decline in the national power of the Sherman Empire.
Bugs became political tools.
This taxi is making a long circle around the area where the base is located.
Yang Luo closed his eyes to rest his mind and waited quietly for a few minutes.
"We have a photo, boss!"
As soon as Lu finished speaking, several photos popped up on the projection screen in front of Yang Luo.
That is the transparent laboratory located near the entrance of the base.
Several bugs in their basic form clung to the ground as if they were dead, with dense probes and coils wrapped around their bodies. At least ten laser cannons were aimed at their foreheads and torsos.
Several men and women who were conducting experimental operations through special glass were recording data one by one.
In Yang's opinion, the basic form of bugs resembles a combination of a 'crab' and a 'praying mantis'. They have a light red hard shell, sharp blade limbs, a triangular head, and a faintly shining abdomen.
These bugs should be second- or third-level basic bugs.
There is a structure similar to a ladybug carapace behind them, with two pairs of thin wings that can vibrate at high speed hidden inside, allowing them to fly quickly.
"Boss, your brain waves are starting to show abnormalities."
Law reminded softly.
"I'm a little eager to fight now," Yang Luo whispered, "This should be the ancient god's instinct affecting me, don't worry."
"Boss," Lu said, "You can actually return to the Feinan now."
"Wait a minute," Yang Luo said, "If everything goes well with Hera, we will verify how these bugs will react if I appear above the base."
"Yes, boss, this is very necessary."
Lu agreed softly.
She seemed to be in a good mood.
More and more photos appeared in front of Yang Luo, and Lu simultaneously drew an "estimated bird's eye view" of the underground base.
The structure of the entire underground base is like a Ferris wheel that has been tipped over.
In the center of the base is the circular space where the queen's giant petri dish is located. With this as the center, passages spread in all directions, connecting to various laboratories, incubators, and weapon rooms.
The experimenters live in another underground space, completely isolated from the Zerg area.
Inferred based on the details of several pictures:
There are also security doors throughout the base. Once an emergency occurs in a certain area, the area will be quickly isolated;
There are high-tech machinery everywhere inside the base, and the walls are densely packed with laser cannons. There are many types and large numbers of mechanical guards. They are responsible for guarding and direct contact with bugs to reduce the loss of experimenters during the experiment.
Lu said softly:
"Boss, if we want to capture this place, we can use these robots."
"However, the robot systems here are very complete. If you want to control them remotely, it will take some time to prepare."
"Luofeng's military technology level is nearly half a civilization level behind that of the New Federation."
"Lu, try to avoid the battle," Yang Luo said calmly, "All we want is intelligence. If you expose your identity here, I'm afraid the New Federation will chase you to the ends of the earth."
New photos keep popping up.
Naldo and Professor Pat appeared in the photo. They seemed to have a dispute, while Hera looked on coldly.
Yang Luo frowned and asked, "Lu, can you let me hear what they are saying?"
"I need to work on the audio a little bit."
As soon as Lu finished speaking, the argument over there reached Yang Luo's ears.
The older voice belongs to Professor Pat. In the photo, you can see his standard Federalist appearance with a wide forehead, high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets.
Years of scientific research work has made this old man a little bald, but the degree of baldness is far less than that of Dr. Naldo, who is still in middle age.
Professor Pat was talking continuously, very dissatisfied with Hera's reappearance:
"//This is not an ordinary experimental project, Nardo, I know that you love your daughter and don't know how to educate your children, but here, in this laboratory that is related to our country's national destiny, I can't let you and your daughter do it.
What a nonsense.”
Naldo argued: "Professor, you can take a look, Hera's research is definitely meaningful!"
"I'm not interested in how they communicate right now. Even if you know it, can you stop it? Is there really a way to interfere? We have already done the demonstration!"
Professor Pat's voice became louder and louder:
"Nardo, you have to understand what we are doing now! We are artificially controlling natural disasters, and we want to use dirty bugs to achieve even dirtier political goals!"
"Your daughter doesn't need to be involved in this anymore, we have set her free!"
//Freedom! Do you understand? How precious is this thing? Do you know how many people have been eliminated because of what happened eight years ago?
"Just because of her ridiculous, white lotus-like values!"
Professor!" Nardo said excitedly, "You can't blame her! We are all responsible for that!"
Hera suddenly spoke: "Father, the professor is right."
Pat and Naldo were silent at the same time.
Hera said calmly:
"Now, our country and the Sherman Empire are on the brink of war."
"In the past thousands of years, any country that could threaten the hegemony of the Sherman Empire was eventually destroyed by the cannons of the Sherman Armada."
"There is no balance in the galaxy. This is the philosophy that Sherman's military adheres to. They want their citizens to become the best human race in the galaxy. This is their internal propaganda slogan."
We must have a battle with them.
"I have now realized the problem back then. Please allow me to participate in your experiment again. The Zerg we cultivated can replace our soldiers to die. This is not a shameful thing."
"National interests are above all else."
Naldo asked in a trembling voice: "Hera?"
"I lost most of my emotions because of the memory erasure surgery," Hera said calmly, "so now I only have rationality and can keep thinking calmly."
Professor Pat asked: "What do you think is the significance of your research?"
"If we thoroughly study the communication methods between Zerg individuals, we may be able to give them orders directly."
Hera seemed to be prepared and answered extremely quickly:
You should have realized that the Zerg has built a network with the entire group with the queen's brain as the core. High-level Zerg even have the ability to communicate across airspace.
Communication and engines are the basis of everything.
"The importance of my work is second only to the unlimited reproduction of two queens and the reproduction of individual queens."
"interesting."
Professor Pat's voice became extremely deep:
"You know what you are talking about, right? If you go forward on this road, there will be only sin and no redemption. You will eventually be buried in your name, and there will be no honor after death."
Hera said: "Yes, Professor, I need this opportunity. This is my complete paper. Although it is very long, I recommend that you read it carefully."
Still in the taxi driving around in circles.
Yang Luo thought carefully.
Yang Luo was a little confused as to what Hera's true intention was.
Is she going back to do research? Or is she really trying to stop this evil plan?
According to Yang Luo's judgment, Hera should have deliberately mentioned the rhetoric of 'national interests'.
Yes, she is trying to increase the credibility of this [information].
Lu reminded: "Boss, with this recording, coupled with these photos, and the internal structural diagram of the underground base we calculated, we can already cause a sensation."
Yang Luo asked: "Is this information enough?"
"The share I want to give to Sherman is almost enough. If I can learn more about the Zerg, it will definitely be valuable."
Lu quickly reported:
"We can only deliver this information to some ministers and elders. It is difficult to send it directly to the powerful Duke and Emperor of the Sherman Empire."
"If the New Federation can find the planet where the eggs are hidden in the Sherman Empire and directly discover the eggs in the Sherman Empire, things will be much simpler."
"Sherman's full-scale war with the New Federation is an excellent period of opportunity for Luofeng and Dark Star."
Yang Luo smiled and shook his head.
This is really a case of lack of scheming.
Trying to obtain the top-secret egg distribution map through Hera is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Professor Pat and the others will definitely monitor Hera closely.
It's even possible that there won't be that map. Professor Pat and the others are only responsible for cultivating insect eggs, and other things can be left to the CIA's intelligence force.
More photos are being circulated.
Hera was taken into a rest room, where she was asked to change her clothes. She was also asked to wash herself, perform multiple disinfections, and change the clothes provided by the institute under the supervision of a female researcher.
Without Dr. Naldo by her side, Hera would not be able to continue to be tough.
The female researcher reminded: "Please throw away your contact lenses immediately. This is the rule here. We will provide you with new ones as soon as possible."
"There are absolutely no human rights here," Hera whispered.
"Please don't blame me," the female researcher expressed her apology.
Hera was the first to throw away her contact lenses.
Obviously, the scene of her taking a shower and disinfecting her whole body would not be directly viewed by Yang Luo.
Yang Luo continued to wait.
Based on his preliminary understanding of Hera's character, he felt that Hera would most likely activate a backup plan to collect more intelligence.
as expected.
About ten minutes later.
New photos appear again, the pixels have been greatly improved, and the pictures can be directly connected like a video after extracting frames.
Hera lay in front of the bathroom mirror and kept retching, with no supervisor behind her.
She was wearing a vest and tight shorts, and her left hand was still holding the backpack Yang Luo gave her.
The backpack contained all kinds of information that she stored, and she kept this backpack with her on the grounds that only she could handle the information.
Even though it was wet at the corner, Hera had no intention of letting it go.
The elastic hairpin was pinned in her thick hair. Even if she looked carefully, it was difficult to find traces of it.
Yang Luo sighed: "She really didn't give up and continued to update information."
"Boss, although this is good for us, we still have to be careful of her sudden betrayal of secret agent Alex."
"Lü, her eyes are very firm, I think I can trust her."
Yang Luodao:
"Let's see how many surprises she can give us. As long as we are sure that she cannot obtain more information, we will leave immediately."
"Okay boss."
In the 'cassette video' sent back, Hera picked up two other ordinary hairpins to cover up.
She put her backpack under her feet, picked up some clothes and dressed them neatly. Finally, she put on her white coat, slung her backpack over her shoulders, and left the lounge.
For the next half hour, Hera spent the next half hour making preparations in the laboratory assigned to her.
Yang Luo could feel that Hera was gradually losing her patience and she took the initiative to contact Naldo.
Naldo hurried over, holding a stack of documents in his hand, trying his best to express his kindness: "What's wrong? Is there anything you need my help with?"
Hera made a clearly unreasonable request: "Father, I want to see it."
"It? Who?"
"The Queen Mother Worm."
"Are you crazy?"
Naldo's eyes widened and he subconsciously looked around: "You just stay here and don't run anywhere!"
"But Dad," Hera whispered, "Something happened to me. I must understand the principles of these things and find a way to prevent this from happening again. This is the second purpose of my coming here."
Hearing this, Lu in Feinan and Yang Luo in the taxi both had expressions of surprise.
Hera's other motive for doing this is now very clear.
"Boss, she should know that the Queen Mother Insect controlled her before."
Yang Luo smiled and said: "I like her character."
Naldo's greeting was heard in the video: "What's the matter? Hera, you have to tell me the truth, my daughter, what happened to you?"
"Father, can I trust you?"
"I am even willing to sacrifice my life for you!" Nardo's Adam's apple trembled, "Of course, I will definitely save my life to complete the project that I have not yet completed."
The corners of Hera's mouth twitched slightly.
She looked at the backpack in front of her and quickly made up her mind: "If anything happens to me, just put the backpack into my arms. Remember, dad, you must do this."
"Okay, I understand."
Naldo grabbed the backpack with both hands, and Hera slowly loosened the shoulder straps of the backpack.
She waited quietly for a few seconds, then slowly took a step back.
Sudden!
Her breathing began to be erratic, light green light flashed in her eyes, and her eyes became extremely cold.
Naldo's hair stood on end.
He had been dealing with bugs for so many years, how could he not tell the difference? Naldo immediately pounced on him and pressed his backpack against Hera's chest!
Hera's thin body suddenly jumped to the side, fell heavily to the ground, and then ran and crawled towards the door of the laboratory.
"Hera! Hera!"
Naldo hurriedly chased after him, not forgetting to ring the alarm bells he could find everywhere.
In a taxi.
"Boss! Hera's brain wave is abnormal and she is connected to the insect swarm!"
Yang Luo yelled: "Naldo is a waste! Is it difficult to throw the backpack over?"
In the video footage transmitted back, Hera kept running forward, rushing towards the direction of the Queen's petri dish.
Although Naldo reacted a little slowly, he was not too stupid and immediately called for the mechanical guards to stop Hera.
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
After a simple chase, Hera was pinned to the ground by two mechanical guards and suffered multiple contusions on her body. Professor Pat had already rushed over after hearing the news. Because he was closer, Pat arrived at Hera faster than Naldo. Pull beside you.
"What happened to Hera? Naldo!"
"She, she suddenly"
Pat shouted tremblingly: "The light in her eyes is the light of bugs! Damn it! Nardo! What have you done to your daughter!"
"I didn't do anything! She is my only treasure. How could I harm her! Hera! What's wrong with you, Hera!"
"Shut up! What is she talking about!"
Professor Pat yelled, and the entire corridor fell silent instantly.
Under the faint sound of the mechanical guard's engine, Hera's lips opened and closed slightly, her eyes glowed green, and she said something:
"Humanity"
Humanity?
Could this be it!
Professor Pat subconsciously crouched down and put his ear close to Hera's lips.
