[Science Fiction Interstellar GL] Queen of Worms

"Jörmungandr. What do you think of humans?"

Around one night, Metia casually asked about her mothership, which was in a state of desperation.Said about, but it was later in the day.Ye Mengjia clearly remembered that it was the time when 44 batches of infected people were born after the human girl was retrieved—the new starships were an excellent resource to replenish the military.So calculated according to human time, it is probably dusk, or late at night.

But Jormungandr is used to counting the time it took to hatch a corrupted giant.One day counts, this is the unique algorithm of the Zerg.

This is the first time the Queen has asked such a broad question, so that after hearing this sentence, she cautiously moved her center, trying to distinguish in the silence whether the Queen is talking about all human beings, or just one person .

But she was more aware that it was best not to let the queen say that tone: Huh?So after three seconds, although she hesitated, she still chose words to answer:

"Your Majesty, humans are troublesome and fragile creatures. They are easy to kill, but even easier to come back."

The Empress was chewing something—she heard voices.So Ye Mengjiade added cautiously: "Although human beings are cunning, we are more fickle in order to survive."

Medea spit out something, and then made a disdainful voice:

"It's just like you. Earlier, you wouldn't dare to make a statement at this time, but now you can even change the concept secretly."

Ye Mengjia carefully closed the vent so that the empress would not hear her take a deep breath.Noticing her small movements, Metia couldn't help showing a more subtle smile.But she stopped talking, and gently stroked a dog dragon that was gnawing on the newspaper.

Goulong was satisfied with the paper quality of this newspaper.It smacked its lips and wagged its tail, showing great interest in the little girl lying on the side, but Medea resolutely patted its saliva flying head, signaling it to get out quickly.The dog dragon had no choice but to reluctantly go out with that forked tail again.Then she spoke again:

"I know what you're thinking. Yermungandr, you're wondering why I left this human here."

She pursed her lips, and grabbed the little girl again and placed her at her feet.But she found that the body was too fragile, so that a light grip could cause red marks on her skin, so she had to lighten the strength again.After letting her sleep peacefully at her feet, she stroked the little girl's head and said:

"You weren't born then. No, don't talk about you, I was too... but the Golden City existed at that time. I was born there, developed into the initial stage, and escaped from there. In that The Golden City was deserted by then, but it still exists... This kid has the blood of those guys on him. I know it."

"Your Majesty, do you want to—"

Metia closed her eyes in the dim light, and for a moment, Yemenka could think that she heard the Queen's whisper.But in fact there was nothing, Metia just said softly:

"She will be able to open the door to the Golden City...by then..."

Then, the sound and breath gradually stopped in the ambiguous darkness.

According to Jormungandr's calculation, Huadi woke up exactly one day later.

She turned over sleepily, and immediately felt lifted upright and sat on the ground.Not interested in this, she bent her body sluggishly and nodded her head, grabbing her throat by the way.Then, her body was tilted again, and when she was about to fall asleep for the fourth time, she felt her head being gently stroked.

After making a meaningless grunt from her throat as an answer, she turned over and turned to look at the owner of the hand.The body was sleeping with too much heat, which was difficult to dispel. She was hot all over, so she rubbed her body against something with a lower temperature, but the thing was quickly pulled away from her embrace.

Hua Di watched it slip away with pity, and immediately heard the man's voice:

"Aren't you good at talking?"

she asked herself.Hua Di tilted his head, talking?what is that?She let her head conform to the rhythm of the stroking, and put aside thinking again, just enjoying the stroking lazily.The slightly barbed hand clumsily passed through the hair, and gently scratched the scalp, making her tremble slightly from the comfort.But the hand stopped.

"...You clearly understand what I'm saying."

Hua Di raised his head meekly again, and looked at him suspiciously.She could feel the other party sighing in obvious helplessness.have no choice?Why?Because I can't speak?But I do understand it.Hua Di put his head on the opponent's lap, trying to show a more puzzled expression.why?

But immediately, the opponent's hand mercilessly removed her head.She wobbled and sat beside the man's lap, thinking for a while.But she really couldn't remember what talking was, so she just looked down at the floor.From the memory, I can indeed think of something based on the word spoken, but the specific thing becomes scattered in the hard memory and it is difficult to concentrate.

She felt instinctively embarrassed about causing trouble to others, so she just looked down at the floor - there were some crumbs on the floor.There's some... text on it.What is text?She couldn't remember the meaning.But she understood that it said something like "Hot... Bug... Attack... Empire".So Hua Di put them together with great interest.But something brushed them all aside with great boredom.

Then, the head was rolled up by something again, looking into the pair of eyes.That pair of beautiful round golden eyes looked at him so intently that Huadi thought he might have done something wrong, so he could only (think) look over with apology.

"...do you remember anything?"

she asked.

remember what?Hua Di looked at her blankly.But when she heard the word remember, she had already started to run her brain rapidly.Broken memories hit her mind like a wave, she held back her headache, stepped on the pieces in the waves, picked them up piece by piece and tried to spell out some words that could be expressed.

She saw—the past—white floors and walls, and endless pipes.

Tear - red.what is that?That's mine, who?why treat me like this?Name tag, dropped on the ground.I picked it up with my own hand.White, I don't like white, but I can see the name.

whose name is thatMy name is Huadi, who is my mother?Why am I called that?

"Experiment...Gona."

From her tightly closed eyes, she uttered such a word that completely surprised the other party.

-

"Call me the planetary center, and I'm going to go to war. Keep an eye on that guy, and keep an eye on her and report her situation to me."

Metia irritatedly put the girl who had just fallen asleep back on her bed, and ordered Jormungandr casually.She felt Jormungandr wagging the transmission tube in distress, but she didn't care.According to the front-line battle reports that have just come back from the parasites that have long been rooted in certain personnel of the battleship, those humans have returned from the south with a full load of weapons and wealth.

Originally, anyone thought it was a necessary killing activity, judging from the motive or the consequences...but she unexpectedly smelled a conspiracy——Xue Rui, who had fought with her for many years, would be so reassuring to everyone No one is infected?

Suspicion is a very good habit.She guessed what plans those humans were planning, but recently humans have become more dependent on computers, and it is difficult to know the details based on her existing intelligence network.She didn't know it at all, which was a very bad omen.She can feel one thing: there will be more and more mechanized humans.And when it comes time to fully enter the battlefield, mechanization will be a big problem.

Zerg will always be, and will always be, living organisms.Therefore, in the face of mechanically intelligent robots or large siege machines, parasites or infections that rely on combat will suffer major setbacks.Further, if...human beings themselves become mechanized,

"What a nuisance. I hate this feeling..."

She said in a rare voice to herself.Therefore, no matter what, in the short few decades that human beings have been active, it is best to plunder and eliminate the signs of technological development as soon as possible.She pondered whether to continue to attack the scientific research area.She originally had other reasons to go to that place—but the planetary center got through to her message halfway, and she had to temporarily stand at the mouth of the delivery port to talk to Aphrodite.

Aphrodite, also known as the Planetary Center, is the true brain of the Zerg.

She is always in the deepest part of the hive and best protected, but in fact she has a personal reason - she cannot move from the beginning of Metia's creation.But she named herself Aphrodite.Although Medea realized that this was an extremely delicate name, she let Aphrodite call herself just like that.

She is a creature that develops extremes for thinking, and her self-awareness is unprecedentedly expanded, but she prefers and focuses more on research, so Medea is satisfied with the results of her programming.

"Your Majesty, my dear Majesty, I have analyzed her genome strand as much as possible for you..."

"As much as possible?"

Although she didn't expect much from the start, Metia still took advantage of Aphrodite's rare loophole.Aphrodite was obviously very dissatisfied and understood what His Majesty meant—after all, part of her was often used in quarrels and discussions between personalities, but she continued to report with enthusiasm for scientific research:

"Although it does seem to be human genes, the deciphering of the programming is like a child's joke. This is just a fake sequence, which should be used to deceive people...Things programmed through such genes cannot even have a shape. "

"You mean, this is just a fake password, and the real—"

"I dare not say for sure. But the gene you sampled for me is indeed the case. I hope to obtain the subject's blood for further analysis."

Sure enough...it was the Golden City.Even genes have codes.Metia was thinking about the matter of blood, and suddenly remembered something.She waved her hand to tell the Krakens not to throw themselves into the asteroid belt, and asked again:

"So, what about the red blood cell camouflage parasite you said you were making earlier?"

Aphrodite replied quickly and quickly:

"You need it? I'll pack it for you and send it to the mothership."

"I'll send the blood you need."

After Medea recovered, she went to her chamber again while tapping her thumping temples.There are so many mysteries about this guy, but she was already mentally prepared when she realized this.

But what does she actually get—for what?Or did she just want to know the truth?

Why was she created, and why is she a worm.Why can it infect others, but why is it abandoned.

She might just want to know this, but it is absolutely impossible for Metia to admit that she cares about other people's opinions.
