There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"That's it..."

Hui pondered for a moment, then said: "We still don't have enough information. How big is the queen? Does she exist only for reproduction or does she have strong combat power? How many insects are trapped in the nest? Is there any special species similar to the 'Royal Guard'? We also need to consider it."

"My shadow curtain can only last for ten minutes, and the Zerg know my ability, so we must fight quickly... I will go down first to check the situation. Once I make sure everything is safe, Komuro-kun can go down with me."

After Komuro Takashi nodded, Hui's figure gradually disappeared into the air...

-------------------------------------

Inside the base, in a room at the innermost level of the command center, Blair, dressed in military uniform, was sitting in a chair, leisurely holding a glass of water and sipping it in small sips.

He swung the wine glass in his hand gracefully, took a sip, and a look of satisfaction and helplessness appeared on his face.

"I like coffee and I also like red wine, but now I can only drink water!"

Blair looked at the blonde beauty in front of him, reached out and tapped his temple, complaining: "Damn it, ever since I became a partner with this thing, the cheapest fun has been taken away from me."

"Water is the source of life. Any other substance will cause unpredictable consequences to individual lives. The reason why humans cannot break free from the shackles of the flesh may be the result of your reckless behavior."

The blonde female adjutant responded expressionlessly: "Inferior race."

"Inferior race?" Blair teased as if he had heard something extremely funny, "You have been fighting with the inferior race for so many years, but it seems that you have gained nothing?"

"Remember your identity, Blair." The female adjutant seemed to be stimulated by something and made an unpleasant 'gurgling' sound in her throat.

This young female adjutant is Agatha. She has completely lost her previous state, as if she has changed her soul, or in other words, she is no longer the human woman who was obsessed with General Blair.

"No, no, no, we are just partners, you also have to remember your promise."

Blair calmly shook his head and smiled, "I know that thing in my head can easily kill me, but without me, you are doomed to fail."

He thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Can it be taken out? I know it can be taken out, and it won't affect me. Since you and Agatha are a perfect match, there's no need for me to contact your leader, right?"

Agatha stared at Blair blankly, then slowly shook her head, "When everything is over, it will come out on its own. Before that, you are still an unstable factor."

Hearing the other party's unconvincing answer, Blair held his forehead helplessly, "Oh, I just want to satisfy my little wish of drinking coffee and tasting red wine... No..."

Blair suddenly stared at Agatha seriously and said hesitantly, "Dear Bug, when everything succeeds, you won't just kill me, right?"

Agatha stared at Blair intently, and after a while she answered mechanically, "The Arachnis people do not lie."

Blair laughed, "No lies? That's why you're in such a mess. Because you're too straightforward, your conspiracy tactics seem ridiculous, so you can only fill the gap with the lives of your people?"

"The Arachnis will not kill collaborators," 'Agatha' repeated, ignoring Blair's taunts.

Blair sneered, "Yes, you won't kill me, but when you have absorbed all the knowledge of humans, will you destroy the human race?"

'Agatha' paused and answered truthfully, "Yes."

"Oh, that's a wonderful plan."

"We need the technology of human civilization, seize human knowledge, and evolve into a form that is fully applicable to Earth's technological civilization. This process will take about a hundred years in Earth years. When any conditions are replaced, the meaning of human existence will be erased."

Blair drank the water in the cup and laughed, “But you are really slow. It took you nearly ten years to create an executioner who looks like a human.

But I am impressed by your learning ability. In the past ten years, you have evolved from an innocent little girl to a conspirator. Some of your tactics make me want to applaud you. "

'Agatha' seemed to be unable to win the argument with Blair. She was obviously irritated but she seemed to suppress her anger.

"That's why I agreed to your proposal, right?"

Blair saw that Agatha was in a bad mood, so he comforted her a little, then changed the subject and asked in confusion: "So, when can I see my wife, and how is she now? You promised that she would still appear in front of me as a human being, not as a disgusting bug like you."

Agatha restrained her emotions and replied expressionlessly, "It will take time. Although humans are an inferior species, the structure of their brains is something we cannot understand for the time being. As you requested, replicating the human Jenny's memory is a challenge for us.

We can capture human memories and replicate human brains, but we cannot transfer memories for the time being unless we shape her into an Arachnis. Excluding this condition, you will be able to see her tomorrow."

"So, after all this time, you can only use Jenny's DNA to create a baby identical to hers?"

"Little girl?" Agatha frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand what this term meant.

After responding with malice, Blair's expression suddenly became a little ferocious.

The Zerg launched a surprise attack on the Earth, and the landing site was of course a human military base. As a senior military officer, his family naturally lived in the military zone.

But bugs cannot appear on Earth's mainland, not even a single one!

The situation immediately got out of control. As soon as the bugs arrived, a tactical nuclear bomb exploded in the air... but no one evacuated at that time, including Blair's wife and children.

The son who was at school was blown to ashes, but his wife who was sorting out old things in the underground warehouse was "lucky" enough to leave behind a charred corpse.

Humanity's act of cutting off its arm did succeed in saving the city, wiping out the bugs from the face of the earth, but it also killed at least 30,000 of their kind.

Why does Blair hate bugs so much? Because his friends and comrades all died at the hands of bugs. Why does he devote himself to fighting? Because he wants to protect his home and the people he loves.

But their last loved ones died at the hands of their own kind. No matter what the reason was, they died at the hands of humans! And it was also their responsibility that the bedbugs found an opportunity to migrate to the vicinity of the earth!

Blair recalled seeing his wife covered in black, and the muscles on his cheeks tightened... but suddenly he staggered and screamed in pain.

The little guy in his head seemed to sense his emotional fluctuations and began to give warnings.

Blair, who had a splitting headache, held his forehead tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I want Jenny to come back, come back intact, come back before everything is over! If you can't do it, I have the ability to reverse it all."

"It takes time, Mike Blair, we can do it." Agatha replied calmly.

Blair laughed coldly: "I hope so."

Agatha nodded slowly, but she froze halfway through, like a puppet that had lost its soul. After a while, she spoke again and asked, "Master wants to know why you let that powerful human leave."

"Why let her go?" Blair asked back, panting.

"Yes. Why did you let her go? From her killing of Aiden Jerry, we can infer that the powerful female individual has learned of your betrayal. She holds the secrets of Aiden Jerry's research. Why did she stop us from attacking her? Why did you let her go?"

"Studying secrets?"

Blair suddenly laughed. "You mean the chip? It's just a communication chip. Are you still expecting the research results of that half-dead old man? She destroyed it a long time ago, idiot."

"The communication chip... the meaning is unknown."

Agatha tilted her head mechanically. "She knew clearly that she had been discovered, but she still chose to talk to you, and you still let her go. The risk is more than 80%."

"The higher the risk, the higher the reward, and she could never have guessed that step. You don't understand, but your master will. They are my gifts to you. Since you have lost the research results, I will give them to you. As you requested, no one can be missing."

Blair, whose headache gradually disappeared, slowly stood up and took out a metal stick from behind. He twisted the stick, and the stick suddenly stretched out in both directions and turned into a trident-like sharp weapon... It was the ancient spear that Kitahara Sora threw when he rescued Hui.

"Both sides are blatantly deceiving each other despite knowing the truth." Agatha said dully, "She, you, humans, are a despicable race."

Taunting? The general looked at the stink bug with some surprise. Their learning ability was indeed very strong. They actually learned to taunt in such a short time?

However, Blair didn't care. Instead, he shook his head helplessly and continued to explain: "The reason she made up successfully convinced me, so I let her leave. She wanted to leave just to contact the commander-in-chief of the flagship, or let the Earth know about the planet's affairs, but she couldn't do that. You know the reason, so I won't explain it."

"In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, she left those who were able to fight behind and transferred those who had no ability to fight to the rear? But she didn't know that by doing so, she was just jumping from one trap to another."

Blair stretched out his finger and flicked the tip of the spear lightly, making a clanging sound.

"That little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet doesn't know. I'm watching everything she does... It's all thanks to your help that the little thing in my head doesn't seem so annoying anymore."

Blair admired the ancient spear gracefully and explained slowly, "Why let her go? Because she is also a 'brainworm', the brain of a superhero. So do you know what to do?"

Agatha's head shook abnormally, as if she was thinking. But she was not a brain worm, and could not calculate such rich thoughts.

"There is another secret. The accuracy of this guess is as high as 60%. They have mastered the secret of human evolution. As long as those people who have no fighting ability survive, they will be eligible to gain abilities. So the gift I want to give you is about the evolution of life."

Blair grinned at Agatha and said, "It seems that our kind from an unknown civilization are tasked with saving humanity, or perhaps it is also a test for the young people of their tribe... Then you have to reconsider. There may be an umbrella behind humans. If there is an existence that can crush your tribe, will you still insist on destroying humanity?"

Agatha's neck was twisted and shaking, and a creepy gurgling sound came out of her mouth. Her face was distorted and she looked suffocated.

"Ah, but I'm on your side." Blair smiled elegantly, "Because they can't bring me what I want. As you said, I can only live for fifty years at most."

But his smile gradually froze. Looking at the abnormal 'Agatha' in front of him, Blair's expression suddenly became serious, "What's going on?"

"Empress...Lair...Intruder!"

8 Chapter Hellfire (K -in-)

Hui and Komuro Takashi walked carefully in the dungeon that was like an underground palace. Looking at its extremely grand scale, Komuro Takashi's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The 'gate' of this insect nest is about a hundred meters underground. Just looking at the caves that crisscross like subway tunnels can't help but make people feel scared. The area here... is incalculable!

The wisdom of Zerg architectural engineering is fully utilized here, with totems, texts, and even stone walls and statues.

Unless it encounters a devastating blow from the surface, it may not collapse even if it is hit by a nuclear bomb.

The most important thing is that it is not dark here. The countless shining spores on the cave wall give people a dreamy and mysterious feeling. Also, there is air here... sometimes you can even hear the sound of wind.

The two walked for nearly 10 minutes and came to a place similar to a hub hall. Looking up at the dome that was dozens of meters high, Komuro Takashi couldn't help but murmured, "Are you sure this is not the world of our system..."

Hui thought for a moment and replied, "Are you talking about the Spider Empire in Northrend, the 'Ancient Kingdom: Azjol-Nerub'?"

"It's very similar, but compared to the Spider Kingdom we saw in the video, the 'technology' here is too advanced."

Looking at the giant Zerg sculpture that was more than ten meters tall in front of him, Komuro Takashi sighed, "This place is like... what the Nerubian Spider-Man would look like after ten thousand years of normal development."

"There will be more surprises next."

Hui explained expressionlessly: "I saw the 'Arsenal', the breeding base and something similar to a research institute under the Grand Canyon. They have a technological civilization comparable to that of humans, but the mechanical equipment has been replaced with 'flesh' equipment."

“…I heard it in my headset.” Komuro Takashi took a deep breath, “but seeing it with my own eyes was still too shocking.”

Hui nodded. "So our situation is very dangerous. From this scale, we can infer that this place is actually connected to the 'Arsenal'. As an intelligent species, the Zerg cannot fail to understand the 'outdated' mode of transportation such as the 'subway' passage. After all, the distance between the two is less than 100 kilometers. If we are discovered, then..."

Hui didn't say anything more, and Komuro Takashi smiled bitterly, "I know, but I have to come. The second stage branch can't be done without me. Even Miss Yukinoshita and the captain can't do it."

"But, in the worst case scenario, ten minutes is far from enough." Hui sighed helplessly, "After all, it took us ten minutes to get here, let alone escape from the core location."

Hearing the other party's pessimistic sigh, Komuro Takashi suddenly laughed heartily and said, "Just don't get discovered. Ms. Kato is an expert in undercover reconnaissance, and I will definitely not make any mistakes."

Hui said noncommittally, "I hope so."

She glanced at the various passages at the edge of the 'square', tilted her head to think for a while, and then came to the front of the statue.

"Record these pictures and texts and send them to Senior Sister Yukino."

Komuro Takashi nodded slowly, contacted Yukino, and sent the distorted text and picture information to her.

As a wizard, she represents mystery and wisdom, and what Xueno has as a gift is the talent for understanding language and writing. After all, she can understand ancient magic inscriptions. No matter what, it's always okay to give it a try.

Hui then went through all the passages again and came to a tunnel covered with purple lines and a fungal carpet that looked like the inner wall of a living organism.

The girl looked at the tunnel that was constantly wriggling like an intestine and fell into hesitation.

"This is the only place with fungal mats. Going deeper into this area should be the core area of ​​the hive." Komuro Takashi followed and asked in confusion: "But I'm a little confused, why haven't we seen any bugs so far?"

"All the combat forces have gone to encircle the seniors, so this place should be vacant. Even if there are guards here, there are only a few in the core area, or they are busy with other things. So, Komuro-san, why do you think I keep taking you on detours?"

Komuro Takashi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I understand."

It’s not that they didn’t encounter any bugs, but Hui avoided them all. She had been the first to go down here and do some reconnaissance.

"This conspiracy was planned by Blair. All the actions of the Zerg should be controlled by him. He is confident that we will never find this place. After all, the landing site has been suspected and then ruled out, so this is theoretically the safest place."

"'Master' has no guardian power at all. This is a risky move. The Zerg would never arrange such a tactical conspiracy."

Hui spread his hands helplessly, "Is he too confident, or is he underestimating us? He will never know what other cards we have, just like he cannot understand the magic spell of 'Mind Observation'."

"Then let's go?"

Komuro Takashi raised his leg and was about to step onto the fungal mat, but was stopped by Hui the next second.

"and many more."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Hui pointed to another passage and said, "Let's go that way."

Komuro Takashi was slightly stunned, and nodded slightly as he looked at Hui who was already walking towards the passage. Although he didn't understand, he didn't ask any questions, but just stood behind her silently.

The two of them explored underground carefully again. During this time, Komuro Takashi was still recording the video, and Hui did not find another set of armor to put on again.

At first, she left the arsenal intending to find Aso Takuto and the others first and strip off Akane Minakawa's lady armor, but then she recalled the "story" that Kitahara Sora had told her.

The thought of wearing clothes similar to those worn by prostitutes gave the pure white girl goose bumps.

In fact, it is still for mobility considerations. Wearing armor can greatly increase strength, but it is more cost-effective not to wear it. Unless she is besieged, ordinary bugs can hardly touch her...

The two went deeper and deeper, and although they did not encounter any insects, as time passed, their mood became more and more uneasy.

One hundred meters underground is a place similar to a hall square. After passing through intricate passages, two hundred meters underground there is another wide space.

This place is like the place where ancient underground dwarves lived. The stone walls are full of densely packed caves, and the insects also have "single rooms". This is the most intuitive manifestation of the group society.

The two quickened their pace and arrived at the third underground layer. The social system was more class-based, and there were obviously fewer caves here.

But a huge, funnel-like pit of flesh and blood appeared in the center of the cave. This ten-meter-diameter, bottomless vertical pit was like the throat of a giant creature, and the pit walls were covered with dense, terrifying teeth.

At first glance, these densely packed spiral teeth look like a lamprey magnified thousands of times, or like a giant meat grinder, which is chilling.
