StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 133 Larva
Renault and Tychus led the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army to carefully search all the laboratories, isolation rooms, and anatomy rooms of the entire Fujitamine Research Institute, including thousands of compartments.As more and more discoveries are made, the existing evidence pieces together into an intriguing truth.

As early as two years ago, the Tyranid Federation had been researching this sudden appearance of alien creatures.Augustus realized that the psionic launcher that had destroyed the Tyranid Federation came from his own research on the zerg.

After Augustus stared at the dark purple creeper behind the glass wall for nearly 10 minutes, a Revolutionary Army soldier in crimson power armor with a golden wolf head logo on his shoulder armor walked up to him, holding Carrying a portable battery freezer.

"What's that?" Kerrigan took the suitcase, and the close-fitting Umoyan Shadowguard refracting combat suit tightened her slender waist and hips between her bent waist.

After removing the psychic suppressor, as a tenth-level psyker, Kerrigan can release far more psychic energy than before,

"The dissected alien creature." The orange-yellow matte mask of the Revolutionary Army soldier hardly reflected light under the bright light, and a somewhat palpitating voice came from the loudspeaker unit: "Marshal Mengsk, two of them are alive .”

"Open it," Augustus ordered immediately.

The iris lock of the freezer had already been unlocked, and Kerrigan put on her lab gloves and grabbed the lock of the freezer to open it.In the white mist of condensed water vapor, three worm-like knobby creatures covered with a layer of white frost were lying quietly in the frozen layer of the box.

"Maggots, maggots with shells," Kerrigan said quickly, adding, "It scares me to see them."

"Dr. Francois, what do you know about this creature?" Augustus said to the federal doctor of biology who was ordered to stay where he was and not go anywhere.

One of the three elongated, tentacled creatures has been dissected, its beetle-like shell neatly peeled away to reveal the complex organs and white brain tissue that should belong to its abdomen. The location has neither stomach pouch nor intestines nor excretory organs.As a result, the question of what this creature should do for a living has troubled federal scientists for a long time.

"We surmise that these are the larvae of the 'zerg', like the larvae of metamorphose insects. After they absorb enough nutrients, they cocoon and transform into another completely different creature, which seems to be born to kill They have thousands of dense muscles on their bodies, covered with sharp claws and fangs." The doctor used the word Zerg for the first time, and apparently the Federation had already named this newly discovered creature.

"However, the adults of these creatures are not exactly the same. There may be extremely obvious differences in the specialization of traits among individuals, and there will also be great differences in body size and aggressiveness between Zergs with the same characteristics." He said. Say.

"Later, we realized that the DNA of the larvae of this organism carries billions of sequences, and there are almost infinite possibilities for the combinations of these sequences, not to mention the possibility of genetic mutation and recombination."

"The Evolutionary Possibilities Are Endless."

"Is there a way to use catalysts or other means to make it deform in the direction we gave?" Augustus said: "Or control these creatures through transformation in a more efficient way. Since we can produce resocialized soldiers, Why can't this method be used on alien creatures."

"No, this is impossible. It is impossible to do it with human technology." The doctor immediately threw out three consecutive negatives, which disappointed Augustus very much.

When Augustus was talking to the doctor, due to the gradual increase in temperature, a zerg larva woke up. Its centipede-like multi-legged body wriggled like a snake, and its multi-synaptic head had multiple A scarlet, triangular-shaped eye opened slowly.The slimy little monster didn't seem fully awake yet, squinting around for something with its scarlet eyes, but couldn't find it.

The larva moved, making a sound like walking in muddy mud with wellies, and every once in a while it would stop still, as if waiting for some order.

The sound of guns being drawn and loaded immediately came from all around, and the tense soldiers scrambled to block between Augustus and the larva, and the sound of heavy breathing sounded on the communication channel.

"Don't be nervous." Although Augustus knew that the larva was not offensive, he still took a loaded Gauss rifle from his subordinates: "I want to take a good look at this beast."

When the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army dispersed one after another, the unresponsive larva finally raised its head like a cobra, stared at Augustus, and made a quacking sound.

But the larva's target wasn't Augustus, its eyes stayed on him for a short while, and then moved to Kerrigan next to him.

Immediately, the hideous creature let out a high-pitched bark, and wriggled out of the freezer, onto the slippery laboratory floor, crawling slowly toward Kerrigan.

Augustus walked over and stepped on the larva's tail, the heavy pressure of the power armor power boots made it make a louder noise immediately.However, soon after the larva jumped a few times like a fish that landed on the shore, it lay down on the ground and stopped struggling.

"What does it want to do?" Augustus bent down and looked at the little monster without fangs and claws.

"It's looking for something. Waiting for something." At this moment, Kerrigan suddenly pinched her temples, looking a little tired.

"You can read its mind?" Augustus looked at Kerrigan in surprise.

"No, I just sensed something. It seems that this low-level creature without thought is waiting for an order from a higher-level, more powerful creature." Kerrigan shook her head and said.

"It's...waiting for my order."

"." Augustus stared at Kerrigan's face for a few seconds, then he let go of his feet: "Prove it to me, Kerrigan."

Kerrigan's eyes suddenly flashed the color of molten gold, and the larva lying powerlessly on the ground suddenly swarmed into a ball, circling its own tail on the ground, like a cat chasing its own tail.

"This is incredible." A soldier couldn't hide his surprise.

"You are special." Augustus said, "The next step is to see if you can control the larva to transform into an adult."

Originally Augustus thought that Kerrigan had the ability to control the zerg after she became the Queen of Blades, but now it seems that she can control these creatures innately.From this point of view, the overlord's eye on Kerrigan is not just because she is a tenth-level psyker, because she is not the only tenth-level psyker in human beings.

Augustus didn't even know if the news was good or bad.

"No...I can't..." Kerrigan replied.

　The resonance between Kerrigan and the Zerg in the human period is reflected in the official novel "Uprising".
