Warhammer Seal

Chapter 438 Gene Stealer

A corpse, but in a strange way.

It wasn't that he was killed by a gun or a knife, but that something broke out of his stomach and killed him.

This can also explain why the blood and organs are all over the corridor.

"After the scan, there is no gunpowder component or explosion impact, at least it can show that the thing that exploded from his stomach is not a shell that was swallowed by mistake."

Ai was still in the mood to joke.

"You know, some people have special sexual proclivities. They tried to stuff cannonballs into their rectums, and they later said that they were just careless."

That's weird, I thought this person died from eating something that could explode, but so far the clues seem to be broken.

Fifarji silently stretched out his right hand towards the corpse, closed his eyes and released his spiritual energy.

Eldar seers are able to sense the emotions of all living things and can even recover data from corpses.

As for people like Wen De who are immune to psychic powers, they are just individuals.

"The pain, the torment, and the unbearable bite."

By establishing a spiritual connection with the corpse, Fei Farji successfully obtained the last emotional fluctuations of the deceased from the dead brain.

This made Wende and Ai, who controls the MDK power armor, close their eyes (display).

Something burst out of the dead man's body, causing his death.

"I remembered something."

After reaching such a conclusion, Wen De and Ai blurted out almost at the same time.

"Wende, you go first."

"It's like a movie in the 3K period of the earth. An alien creature called Alien infects people through face-hugging insects, and the hatched larvae spew out from the human body."

"It's a bit like that, but we have also encountered that kind of creature, which was extinct by humans before it reached the golden age."

Ai was not joking. Of course, when the Human Federation was colonizing the universe, it encountered all kinds of weird creatures.

One of them is exactly the same as the alien in the movie, but the IQ of the Human Federation was still online at that time.

When going out to explore, you need to wear chemical protective clothing, and you will be shot at all large alien creatures that have no language ability and are threatening, and every scientist who comes back from exploring will be scanned and disinfected from top to bottom.

Since that alien has been exterminated by the Human Federation, what caused the death of this man?
"Give it up, let it go."

A tall and strong guy with a swollen face came from behind Wende with a cloth bag, took a big drag on his cigarette, and looked very impatient.

The front desk of the hotel was too scared to copy this side to look over, and kept shouting after smelling the smell of blood.

"Boss, boss, this is the place, the corpse is here."

"Cut, you don't even dare to deal with a dead body, and you have to let me handle it. One-tenth of your next month's salary will be deducted!"

Yes, in the Lower Hive, murder and corpses are as common as starvation and garbage.

Such an unidentified corpse would attract neither the attention of the PDF Planetary Defense nor any reaction from nearby gangs.

It's like a dead stray cat or dog, casually dumped anywhere, making the people who live here feel bad, and then dispose of the body immediately so as not to affect future business.

As for how they died, the number of abnormal deaths in the nest fluctuates around 10,000+ every day, and no one cares at all.

It's just that the guy in front of him died too ostentatiously, and even had to use a lot of water to clean the blood-stained floor and wall.

Taking a step back silently, he didn't want to have any direct confrontation with this flesh-faced innkeeper.

If the heart of Our Lady of Fei Farji is united, causing conflicts between the two parties, it would be difficult for Wende to find another place to live.

Silently returned to his room, looked at Fei Farji's somewhat hostile eyes, and snapped his fingers.

Of course, Ai had already scanned the corpse, printed out color photos one by one, and hung them on the wall one by one by Wende.

"Identity: Hive City Resident, Specific Information: Unknown."

Ai was able to infiltrate the entire Hive City's database, but such a tramp-like deceased naturally didn't have any information.

It was Ai who broke the current silence.

"The Tyranids, do you understand? It's a hive mind race from outside the galaxy."

Ai's voice suddenly became a little sluggish and stuck, which was the effect of noise only when retrieving ancient data.

And in her icy mechanical voice, Wende was also able to know the Human Federation's research on the Tyranid Zerg.

It all started one day when the Human Federation researched the subspace. Many monitoring stations have intercepted subspace echoes from other galaxies, and they have become stronger as time goes by.

Realizing that it might be a fleet from another galaxy coming to invade the galaxy, the Human Federation sent a third of its fleet to jump through the warp to the edge of the galaxy.

The Omnic Revolution began when they detected a hive-minded creature called the Tyranids that were traveling to the galaxy.

The fleet lost its signal, and Wende knew what happened afterwards.

Then Ai has very little information about the Tyranid Zerg.

It only knows that such a race seems to be avoiding some powerful enemy, and regards the Milky Way as a temporary gas station, preparing to embark on a new journey of escape after capturing all the biomass.

Just like the ants in a forest fire, wrap the queen in the center of the ant colony, and collect all the materials that can be collected while fleeing for their lives.

In order to collect more biomass at a minimum cost, the Tyranids created a new weird creature through genetic coding.

Genestealers, a type of Tyranid with a humanoid form, are low in danger but highly infiltrating.

The tyranids, known as gene-stealers, can interbreed with any creature they can find.

When it arrives on a planet with an indeterminate amount of biomass, it will find a way to capture sentient humanoids, and then use the ovipositor to send "seeds" containing Tyranid genes into its body, and these seeds will gradually absorb Assimilate the genetic material of the host.

Regardless of the method of implantation, these Tyranid-derived genes are capable of altering the host's physical and psychological state within hours.

The half-human, half-worm gene has been passed down, and the host will forget the infection process and automatically succumb to the will of the gene stealer. At the same time, it will have an uncontrollable strong desire to reproduce, eager to find someone to have children with.

Once mating is complete, the host and its mate produce severely deformed Genestealer first-generation hybrids.

First-generation hybrids often escape detection in dark tunnels, catacombs, or sewers because their chicken thief traits are too obvious.

But after a few generations of hybrids, they will slowly take on a human form, and even start to look exactly like humans.

Of course, there are still gene fusion failures, such as the corpse outside.

When the Zerg DNA and his human DNA cannot be fused, the Zerg DNA will plunder the biomass in the body to create a body, and then break out of the body to infect other people who are not so difficult to infect.

After listening to the story told by the "computer" next to Wende, Fei Farji only felt his scalp tingling, and wished he could drive the spaceship and quickly escape from this terrible planet with his ears clamped.

Don't worry, the Eldar, Orc, and Tau races are almost impossible to be infected by gene stealers, and there is Ai beside him who can carry out genetic DNA testing at any time.

Wende quickly put on the MDK power armor, and opened the safety of his weapon.

"Falji, thank you. If you hadn't suddenly exploded the Virgin's heart and asked me to investigate this death incident, I would have never discovered the infiltration of such a gene stealer."

　Human beings have a low genetic sequence, and some individuals have powerful spiritual powers... What the hell, why are there so many of them here?
