Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 127 Whose Heartbeat?
This was supposed to be a fun meeting.

The hosts and guests of both parties enjoyed themselves, talked harmoniously, and settled the joint matter in a happy atmosphere.

But the scene that Zhang Fang, Xiong Wei and others were most unwilling to see still appeared.

"Ugh……"

Xiong Wei looked at the map projected on the long table and sighed in a low voice.

Previously, the reason why they didn't wake Su Xia was because they were worried that something like this would happen.

After all, Su Xia had basically stayed in the warehouse to cultivate and rarely came out for activities, but today he did.

The old man Shi Sishi was unrelenting and asked Su Xia, "Why don't you say a word? Did I tell you?"

"Old man, your stubbornness will kill a lot of people."

"Beifeng, it's you who is stubborn!" Shi Sishi snorted coldly, "You are blinded by power, and in order to prevent the union, you did not hesitate to frame my disciples. This act has already cast your reputation over the past few years. A layer of shame!"

Su Xia replied coldly: "Shame? Time will let you know what the real shame is!"

Such a human race, even the Zerg said it was hopeless.

What about the counter-attack mechanic?

Perhaps in a few years, the human race will be completely in civil strife.

The machine race doesn't have to take action anymore, they can wait and watch on the sidelines, and then go to subdue the remaining human race after the civil strife.

By that time, the human race will exist in name only.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the reception hall was extremely delicate.

If it goes on, Su Xia and Shi Sishi are afraid to mingle in a friendly way.

Xiong Wei hurriedly smiled apologetically at Shi Sishi, then walked to the door, pulled Su Xia outside, and whispered, "Commander, why don't you go back to rest first, leave it to me here."

"it is good."

Su Xia is too lazy to quarrel here, he really has nothing to say.

Quarreling without a conclusion will only waste precious time.

Xiong Wei asked, "Commander, do you have anything to explain?"

"Yes, it's still about the three undead." Su Xia's tone was very serious, "Mr. Xiong, remember, no matter whether they will eliminate the three undead or not, don't join them, it's too late now. "

"why?"

"The three undead saw the map." Su Xia explained, "They know where the new headquarters of the United Organization is. That station, including our oasis camp, is no longer safe."

Those three undead never refused to admit their identities, and they had a high probability of plotting something, so Su Xia asked Xiong Wei to be very careful.

"No problem, Commander, I'll listen to you!"

Although it remains to be seen whether the two people and one dog in the hall are undead, but after several incidents during this period, Xiong Wei has almost no brains to believe Su Xia's decision in the general direction.

It's always right to follow the commander.

Even if Longcheng represents authority, that authority is too far away, and there is no need to listen to it all.

The two walked away from the reception hall, chatting while walking, talking about the future of the oasis camp.

Xiong Wei asked: "Commander, since the oasis camp is no longer safe, should we move out and find a new place?"

"Well, now that the infestation is gone, it's time to go."

There are also a large number of players in the oasis camp, and it is not safe to stay here after all.

But once they leave, these players will become wandering players, losing equipment dealers, potion dealers, training shops, etc., and the road to upgrade in the future will be very difficult.

Su Xia explained: "Most of them left, leaving only a very small number of them. They maintained information exchange with these undead, provided them with some equipment and potions, and controlled their movements at any time."

"That syndicate seems to do the same."

"Well, they have done a good job in this regard." Su Xia nodded, "The undead are the lamplighters of the new era, and we can't be completely separated from them."

On the bright side, leaving the shell of an oasis camp.

Most of the people secretly go to the new station and develop.

This is the safest.

"Mr. Xiong, do you have any ideas about the location of the new Oasis Camp?"

"This...there is one."

Since becoming the manager of the oasis camp, Xiong Wei has been thinking about the way back.

In fact, he had already selected several spare stations.

One of them is also located in the endless hills in the southwest region. It is very hidden and extremely safe, but it is too far away. It takes at least three days to move from here.

When Su Xia heard Xiong Wei's thoughts, he immediately said: "Three days is three days, it doesn't matter if the time is longer, safety is the most important!"

"However, Commander, it's too far from Coral City and Ruined Armor City, so it will be inconvenient to transport all kinds of materials in the future."

"It's okay, I'll find a way to do it later. It's really inconvenient to transport. You can find me."

"it is good!"

Xiong Wei is also a decisive person, otherwise he would not be able to secure his position as the manager of the oasis camp.

After listening to Su Xia's words, he had already made up his mind.

There are now more than a dozen resistance organizations in the oasis camp, plus a large number of residents who have slowly settled here before, the overall strength is strong enough, and there is no need to join others.

The only thing that needs to be done now is to let the dozen or so resistance organizations stay.

I can't let that old guy from Shi Sishi take anyone away!

"Commander, then I'll go back first."

Xiong Wei had to go back to continue the meeting. Although the union was impossible, the superficial effort had to be done enough.

Su Xia did not return to the warehouse.

He is in good shape now and does not need rest.

Since he was about to leave, he had to go to the worm nest again.

The reward for the mission to save the oasis camp has never been issued, maybe he missed something.

At this time, Zhang Fang hurried out of the reception hall, caught up with Su Xia, and said apologetically, "Commander, my teacher has this temper, don't take it to heart."

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Zhang."

"Teacher, he seldom argues with others. On Longcheng's side, he has always been one word..."

Zhang Fang said as he walked, explaining a lot to Su Xia.

After a while, he found that Su Xia was about to leave the oasis camp, and the direction was southwest, and asked, "Commander, are you going to the worm nest?"

"Just go and have a look, maybe there are still insects left in it."

"Alright, let's go together!"

Zhang Fang didn't want to stay in that delicate reception hall anymore.

He could clearly feel that not only was the teacher dissatisfied with him, but the other disciples were not looking at him correctly either.

The sense of comparison in Longcheng is too serious.

The current Zhang Fang, judging from the results of this trip, is the last among all the disciples.

In his previous contact information, he had greatly praised Su Xia, but he did not expect that Su Xia and his teacher would have a calm exchange as soon as they met.

On the way to the worm's nest, Su Xia suddenly thought of a question and asked Zhang Fang: "Mr. Zhang, you said before that the Dragon City is now divided into three forces, which side do you and your teacher belong to? "

"This... my teacher and I both belong to the 'Tianxing Academy' faction..."

Zhang Fang thought for a while, and without reservation, began to reveal everything.

Inside the Dragon City, in addition to the City Lord faction, there are two larger forces, the "Tianxing Academy" and the "Quayyue Research Institute".

These two organizations have existed since the establishment of Longcheng.

Tianxing Academy, the name is just an institution that teaches and educates people, but it involves not only education, but also all aspects of Longcheng's affairs.

At present, the ministers of several important departments in Longcheng have come out of this academy.

Their lineage is also known as the academic school.

"As for the 'Quayyue Research Institute', this organization almost completely controls the entire research department of Longcheng." Zhang Fang said, "In addition, most private research institutions in Longcheng have received The lack of funding from the Moon Research Institute, and the actual controller of this organization is the current deputy city owner..."

Listening to what he said, Su Xia gradually had the general structure of the entire Dragon City in her mind.

The three forces check and balance each other, but none of them seem to find a good balance.

On weekdays, there are constant frictions.

Longcheng's internal meetings also often break up unhappily.

Every time there is a meeting, people from the three forces will quarrel at the venue.

"Especially, when it comes to the distribution of interests, the three parties can quarrel at the venue for several days and nights." Zhang Fang said frankly, "but when they need to do practical things, they will push each other."

"Dragon City has been established for so many years, and the benefits have not been fully distributed yet?"

"No, even if it is a very small interest, they have to fight..."

Where there is oil and water at any point, the three parties will not let it go.

Zhang Fang talked about his personal experience.

Just two years ago, the city lord's hall needed to be renovated. At first, people from the city lord's faction were in charge. They spent a lot of money to decorate the hall with splendor, but...

Not long after, an inconspicuous tile suddenly fell from the corner of the hall, so the academicians applied for funds, removed all the original decoration, and redecorated the entire hall again.

"Oh, I understand."

Su Xia nodded slightly, sounding familiar.

This is similar to building a road. It is clear that the road is only a small hole, but the whole road needs to be shoveled out.

Zhang Fang couldn't help sighing: "The money spent in this is unimaginable. If it is used in the army, I don't know how many soldiers can be trained."

But Su Xia said: "If you fall into civil strife, no amount of soldiers will help."

"Commander is right!"

Zhang Fang thought deeply.

Many powerful dynasties disintegrated from within.

The two walked and chatted, and it didn't take long before they came to the gap that the Zerg made.

That night, after Su Xia and Zhang Fang left, Xiong Wei sent many soldiers over to clean up the worm's nest thoroughly, not even a shred of rotten flesh, and they were all burned.

Now standing on the edge of the fissure, looking in, you can see the blackened stone wall.

"It stands to reason that no bugs should survive."

But the worm is an unreasonable race, and the vitality of this race is terrifyingly tenacious.

Su Xia sent countless nanorobots to check it out.

The inside of the worm's nest is also dark, and there is no sign of life.

but……

When those nanobots entered the depths of the nest, they made something unusual.

"This is... a heartbeat?"

In the feedback from the nanorobot, Su Xia heard a strange sound.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

It's a rhythmic rhythm, much like a human heartbeat.

Su Xia's eyes narrowed, and carefully observed the depths of the insect nest through the robot's field of vision.

The nano-robot continued to advance, getting deeper and deeper, and was about to arrive at the place where Su Xia and Zhang Fang had seen the insect mother.

At this moment, in the darkness, Su Xia saw a ray of dark red.

"Come on, Mr. Zhang, let's go down and have a look!"

After all, Su Xia jumped and jumped straight into the gap.

Zhang Fang followed closely behind and also jumped down.

This time, neither of them wore armor or exoskeletons. Jumping from such a height was actually very dangerous, but the cliff wall had a certain angle of inclination, allowing the two to take advantage of it.

At their level of strength, it would be ridiculous if they were killed.

On the ground of the worm nest, there were still traces of a large number of flames, and the air was not very fresh, and it smelled full of stench and burnt smell.

"Commander, pay attention, the air here doesn't seem to be circulating, and if you feel unwell, exit immediately."

"Ah."

Neither of them relaxed their vigilance, paying careful attention to their surroundings.

Zhang Fang still had that academic style, and he was taking notes as he moved forward. He seemed to carry a small camera at all times.

Looking around, there are charred bones everywhere.

There are distinguishable internal skeletons and bug-hard exoskeletons.

"Crack..."

Su Xia stepped on a bone at will, and found that it was very relaxing to step on, both the sound and the touch were very comfortable.

He couldn't help thinking: "It's a pity that I don't have time now. If I have time in the future, I can use the corpses of bugs to make a decompression paradise. I believe the children will like it."

There are really too many worm bones to use up here.

Xiong Wei is a thrifty housekeeper. That night, he had the corpses of the bugs brought back to the camp, and the glands in the corpses were stripped out to extract spiritual energy. At that time, many players received the task of extracting the glands.

After being stripped of the glands, the remnant corpse was thrown back into the worm's nest and burned with a fire, leaving only these crisp bones.

Xiong Wei actually considered whether he could use the corpse of the bug as a reserve food, but he gave up after trying.

No matter what you do, the flesh and blood of the worm exudes an unpleasant stench.

"Commander, I heard a heartbeat."

Zhang Fang pricked up his ears, his whole body was tense, and his vigilance value was full.

Heartbeat is a symbol of life.

It is unusual for a heartbeat to appear in this hive shrouded in death.

The two went deeper and deeper, and the sound of the heartbeat became stronger and stronger, as if it resonated with the entire underground space, and even their hearts were uncomfortable.

Zhang Fang covered his chest, frowned, and said, "Commander, if Longcheng's information about the Zerg is correct, there is a mother of insects hatching."

"Well, it should be so."

According to the picture from the nano-robot, Su Xia can roughly judge that it is indeed a hatching worm mother.

As I walked, the turbid smell in the air also changed, and the rancid and bloody smell became more and more intense.

On the surrounding walls, those charred traces were originally dead objects.

As the two went deeper, there were gradually some dark brown mucous membranes around them, covering the original charred traces, and vibrating regularly.

"At that time, I had already checked it carefully enough, but I didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net."

After reaching the deepest part of the nest, the two saw a very special flesh-and-blood life.

On the surrounding walls, the color of those flesh-and-blood films ranges from dark to light. The edge is the dark brown I saw before. The closer it is to the center, the closer it is to dark red.

In the central area, there is a thin film of flesh and blood with a diameter of more than five meters, which is closely attached to the stone wall. It is obvious that a certain creature is wriggling regularly.

The creature also seemed to sense the arrival of Su Xia and Zhang Fang, and gradually stopped all movements.

"hiss……"

It let out a low, hoarse roar, as if warning the two of them.

However, this warning is obviously useless.

The larva of this worm mother is currently only 0.8 psionic energy, and the threat level is very low. In front of the two, it is like a child howling desperately.

"Leave this thing to me."

Su Xia slowly stepped forward, holding a short sword in her hand, looking very relaxed.

In the film of flesh and blood, the worm roared sharply, and began to struggle frantically before dying.

"Thorn..."

It even used its claws to tear the membrane of flesh and blood around it, trying to escape from the place.

At the moment when the film ruptured, a strong and disgusting stench instantly rushed into the nostrils, and Zhang Fang couldn't help retching twice.

The worm was blue-green all over, its fragile shell was covered with sticky pus, its head was small, its abdomen was swollen, its limbs resembled arthropods, and a pair of deformed compound eyes stared at Su Xia, and it was only half a person tall.

"hiss……"

It leaves the membrane, climbs the rock wall, and climbs to the top.

It seemed that he planned to escape from the top of the two of them.

But Su Xia didn't give it any chance, jumped high in an instant, and cut off its head with a leap.

"Clap!"

The worm broke in two and fell to the ground.

Not only was his body twitching, struggling, twisted, and obviously not dead, but the eyes, mouth and other parts of his head were also twitching slightly.

The vitality is so strong that I don't know how to describe it.

Zhang Fang sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, although these insects have strong vitality, their intelligence is very low, and they are not proficient in the use of spiritual energy. Most of them only rely on their physical instincts to fight... If they have human intelligence, I don't know how they would be. How terrifying..."

"Mr. Zhang, there are no absolutes in the world, don't jump to conclusions too soon."

As Su Xia spoke, he chopped the body of the bug on the ground into several pieces.

He said this because he thought of the laboratories underground in Coral City.

There has never been a shortage of mad scientists and crazy ideas on this planet. In this disordered world after the war, any moral bottom line can be broken through.

There is no shortage of funds in Coral City...

Perhaps, one day in the future, there will really be that kind of monster that has both human wisdom and the terrifying power of bugs.

"Crack! Kick!"

Within moments, the bug was chopped into more than ten pieces.

Even so, some limbs were still shaking.

At this moment, the final reminder of the mission [Save the Oasis Camp] finally came.

【The task has been completed】

[Rewards have been issued and can be withdrawn at any time]
