StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 641 I, Alpha, Are No Longer the Same Me
Before Cerebral Worm Alpha uttered a sound, it was forked by the royal guards behind it into the green pool water filled with the catalytic fluid of the Primordial Splitting Pool with a steel fork.The bubbling green water looked like devil's blood, and it contained terrifying power.

This time the movement was not so loud, the fat cerebrate sank to the bottom, and it took a while to surface again.

The fool must have hopelessly thought he was dead at the moment, lying quietly on the surface of the water and drifting with the current, like a pale, bloated floating corpse.But when it suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with it, it immediately revived with full blood.

The brain worm stretched its muscles and bones a few times, and actually started swimming in it. ——Although the swimming style of this brain worm is not much better than that of a cabbage worm that fell into the water and kept struggling, and when it thumped, it made a large splash of water, but it couldn't swim very far.

"It has a big heart," Tychus complained.

"That's not true." Augustus said in his heart that this is a brain worm who can only be a fat house in the human world.

"Could it be that the catalytic fluid has no effect on the zerg?" Jaco stood on the other side of Augustus, frowning.

"How does it feel?" Augustus said to the cerebrate who was swimming around in the pool.

"That's all." Anyone can feel the contempt and disdain in the brain worm's language.It is a big-hearted and fat master. Its scars are healed and it forgets the pain. It bullies the weak and fears the strong and does all kinds of evil. Even Augustus only raises it as a husky.

"I'm so comfortable I want to pee in it, is that all?"

"Hmm." Augustus pondered for a moment: "Dr. Stetman, maybe the catalytic solution is too diluted."

"No, no." Stetman fiddled with his fingers nervously, which made people wonder if he was as confident in this experiment as he said: "It shouldn't be like this. I should have double-checked it." , the dilution ratio is about 1:4, maybe it is”

"Then that said, the dose should be increased."

"It's okay, wait a little longer. Don't worry about my opinion." Augustus pressed his hands, signaling Stetman not to be nervous.

Even though Stetmann is already well-known in the scientific circles of the Empire, he still seems a little lacking in confidence.Besides, even though Augustus always had a pleasant face, it was inevitable for most people to panic in front of him.

After all, Augustus was the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire and the true king of a country. Anyone in front of him could feel a lingering sense of oppression.Contact the imperial emperor's means of suppressing opponents and rebels, and cold hands and feet are inevitable.

Stetman's performance today is pretty good, at least his tongue is not tied.

"Lululu——" Unexpectedly, the cerebrate who was swimming happily on his back suddenly screamed, took two mouthfuls of green water, and sank again with a gurgle.

Under the undulating pool water, the fat body of the brain worm gradually mutated. It curled up and bent into a crescent shape, and the soft skin that seemed to be broken at a poke became as tough as leather, and finally transformed. For a solid hard case.Like a chrysalis spinning a cocoon, its unknown interior is undergoing unimaginable metamorphosis.

"It's cocooning." Kerrigan had been watching from afar since just now.Due to a certain talent, Kerrigan's perception of the zerg is extremely keen, and she can also vaguely feel what is happening to the cerebrate.

"Oh, it's working, it's working." Stetman's eyes lit up immediately, he clenched his fists, and jumped up as if to celebrate with the people around him.After turning half a circle, only Hanak gave him a high-five with a smile.

"Ah! It's unbelievable! It's amazing! Oh yes, it's unbelievable!"

"Explain, doctor." Augustus did not find any useful information from Stetman's excited words, unless he could keep up with the other's unconstrained thinking and abstract expressions.

"Ah, I think that's exactly what it is. It's exactly what I calculated. Yes, it's exactly." Stetman couldn't hide any expression on his face, and he was simply delighted now:

"We made it!"

Stetman looked very happy, so he turned around and hit Harnack again.But from the beginning to the end, only the red-haired imperial general who stared blankly didn't understand what happened at all.

Augustus couldn't help but think: If Abathur, the evolution master of the swarm, was captured here, things would be much easier.

But this is really difficult, according to the confession of the brain worm Sass who was recently captured by the empire, because Abathur has also been reused under the command of the new generation of masters, it can be said to be the invisible hand leading the evolution of the swarm.

"The chemical effects of the alien cells are being integrated and absorbed by the zerg cells with amazing acceptance of experimental samples, and the mutations and mutations that occur at the cellular level are extremely amazing on a macro scale. All mutations will be recorded and tracked, and follow the survival of the fittest The principle of the survival of the fittest replicates endlessly. Even in Zerg, this evolution rate far exceeds expectations.” Stetman’s assistant Isabella Youling explained on his behalf: “This is countless The chorus of cellular evolution."

"That is to say, the brain worm will complete the evolution at the terrifying speed of the original Zerg."

"But what is the end point of the evolution of brain worms?" Augustus looked at You Ling.

Isabella Youling is a beauty with black and beautiful long hair. She has fair skin and looks good.Admittedly, Augustus would also have been surprised by such a bright spot of color in a corner of the palace that he hadn't noticed.

She is beautiful, but I already have a queen, and my God, I love her so much.

"Master." You Ling replied.

"That's right, no one ever said that the swarm can only have one master." Augustus nodded.

"But you can't have two tigers in one mountain," Kerrigan said, putting her hands on her waist.

"I don't have to worry about this at all." Augustus spread his hands.

In fact, Augustus didn't have any expectations for his cerebrates to become a new generation of masters.Even if one day, all the brain worms are dead and only one is left, this matter is still open to question.

"What if the tester is not a zerg?" Augustus asked again.

"This is beyond the scope of orthodox science, Your Majesty." You Ling looked at Augustus.Her eyes are violet, a very rare pupil color.

"The empire's secret scientific research projects are not within the scope of orthodox science." Augustus said.

"If you can allow me to use human beings for experiments." The indifference in You Ling's words is chilling.

"Very well, if it's just some unforgivable death row inmates, that's not a problem." Augustus immediately made a decision: "During this time, the prison is already overcrowded."

"Of course, only this experiment is a special case. This is my attitude."

"What? I don't think Dr. Narud will accept such inhumane human experiments." Stetman's eyes widened, his expression was like a fish with a strange light in his eyes.

"Don't take them seriously, boy. If you've seen how the pirates don't do anything, you'll know why I say that." Tychus had just lit a cigar, and the The automatic fire extinguishing spray completely chilled him from start to finish.

With Augustus here, the old boy didn't dare to attack even though his face was flushed from holding back: "Damn it! Why are you so recited!"

"As I said, this time is a special case." Augustus almost didn't hold back: "This is your laboratory, Dr. Egon Stetman, and you are the master here."

Stetman may be one of the few naive children who still firmly believe in the innocence of Dr. Narud. Among other things, he still regards Narud as his life mentor.

There was no way Augustus would have Narud involved with Kerrigan.At his behest, the experiment was also kept strictly confidential from all but the participants.

"Ah? I'm just working here." Stetman couldn't help thinking about Augustus' words, yes, this is his laboratory!This is the biggest dream of his life.

What a great leader, Stetman is willing to give his every strength for him.Thinking back to the afternoon when Augustus picked him up from Tyrador III, Stetmann couldn't help being dazed again.

"Take it easy." Augustus saw that Stetman's feet were trembling with excitement, and the kid still couldn't hide his emotions.

Augustus himself said casually that Stetman had a high fighting spirit, which always reminded him of that lively and happy little milk dog.

Tychus babbled when he was on the battlefield, Stetmann babbled when he was nervous.

"Think about it, if I can provide you with all the necessary equipment and experimental samples, can you try to allow humans to use catalytic fluid." Augustus tried to guide Stetman.

"What I want is to be safe," he said forcefully. "It's going to be hard to do, but that's what I want you to do."

"It's hard to say." Stetman obviously made a mistake. He is used to boasting, but he is not good at making uncertain things. He is still self-aware.

"But I can give it a try. Ah, in this case, it may take many more attempts to get results. Ordinary humans can hardly bear the catalytic liquid, but if they are strengthened telepaths... they need to be closely monitored and protected."

"Further assessment is needed."

"I have a little inspiration." Stetmann suddenly thought of something.

"What is it?" Augustus' eyes lit up.

"I can't tell." He said seriously.

".Do what you should do. Dr. Stetman, you will become the greatest scientist of mankind in Koprulu." Augustus sighed, and could only say some pleasant scenes.

Even with the crude research facilities on the Hyperion, Stetman was able to tinker with such an artifact as the main hive mind simulator, let alone today when he has received a large amount of resources from the empire.In other words, the future of Stetman's talent is limitless.

"However, compared with Dr. Narud, it's still far behind." Stetman was delighted by the emperor's praise, but at the same time felt ashamed because he couldn't keep up with Narud.

"It is a good thing to know that there are people outside the mountains." Augustus thought that the existence of Narud would always flog these young human scientists.

"Aigon, one day you will be the pride of the empire." Kerrigan also poured a sip of chicken soup for Stetman in due course.

Kerrigan had an instinctive dislike for Narud.I think this person is too smart and too cunning, but Stetman is much more real.After all, Stetman was trained by Augustus, and he is a real one of his own.

As early as a teenager, Augustus decided that Stetman was a rare talent.

"Even I didn't think about it that way." Stetman really felt that today was his lucky day, and what could be more inspiring to be praised by two people he respects most.

At this moment, the cocoon transformed from the brain worm Alpha suddenly trembled a few times in the pool.

"Dr. Stetman, do you know how long it will take for Alpha's transformation?" Augustus looked at the cocoon floating on the water, and then at Stetman.

"Maybe. It might be very fast." Stetman thought for a while and said, "The dose of catalytic fluid is not much."

Before the words fell, the cocoon formed by the brain worm Alpha slowly burst open.Soon, a brain worm with a larger size than before emerged from the cocoon.

The newborn brain worm has a more intimidating body. It has a few more pairs of small bright red eyes. Its originally soft skin is also covered with leathery hard skin. Sharp thorns.At the same time, the body size of the brain worm is still expanding, reaching three times its previous size, and its volume is like a small truck.

"Well, it's like I said." Stetman blinked: "Very fast."

"This is only the effect of one-fifth of the concentration of the catalytic liquid." Augustus touched his chin.

If possible, it may become completely incapacitated with further evolution.

"Geez, Alpha isn't as cute as it used to be," Kerrigan couldn't help but say.

"Hahahaha!" The newborn brain worm roared: "Incomparable power! I'm almost! I'm almost invincible!"

"Me! My Alpha is no longer the me I used to be, Emperor Dog!" The cerebrate laughed loudly, and the terrifying psychic scream buzzed:

"Today, I want to achieve my revenge here!"

The brain worm shook its huge head, opened its mouth to inhale a few mouthfuls of catalytic liquid, and then sprayed it out at Augustus in the distance: "Look at the trick!"

"." Augustus said indifferently, "Don't mess around."

Before Augustus could say anything, a phantom figure of the head of state in a tight black and gold uniform appeared in front of the emperor and deployed a shield force field to block the jet of water sprayed by the brain worm.

"Its spiritual power has been greatly strengthened, which should be enough to control larger-scale insect swarms." You Ling said: "But other than that, the improvement of combat power should be quite limited."

On the other side, the cerebrate who became angry from embarrassment saw that a move was not going to work, so he jumped towards Augustus.But it took a full 2 ​​minutes to swim slowly to the edge of the pool under everyone's gaze.

But before he climbed up to the pool, his body slipped and he fell back, splashing water everywhere.

"Eh"
