When the three students had almost recovered, the computer emitted an electronic sound.

"The space tunnel worm will arrive at Magap 6 within 5 days. Commander, please prepare accordingly."

The electronic voice prompt instantly excited the three children again.

He immediately struggled to sit down at the computer and watched it in real time.

The three connected computers frequently moved their screens under the control of their respective owners, and virtual split screens would occasionally pop up in mid-air.

"This is so cool! It's my first time operating on an ovary!"

"Yeah, oh my god, this is just... just!"

The girl opened the information panel after unlocking and was stunned by the dazzling gene database inside.

Void Surveyors have always possessed the exceptional talent for plundering genes and have corresponding good habits.

"This is a mature trait library, and there are also enhancement and generation libraries available for selection."

Another little boy couldn't wait to start operating it.

"I don't want to use products developed by predecessors; I want to generate them myself!"

"Damn it, Jin, you're up to no good again, but this time I'll support you!"

Girls are more rational.

"Who do you two think you are? The bio-bank contains superior species accumulated by other excellent commanders, possibly even Void Explorers, or even information left behind by the Great Eye Jupiter. Don't be so arrogant!"

"I don't deny that I also want to build our own unique hatchery, but let's hatch more superior breeds first,"

Finally, given that it would take a long time to develop new varieties, they decided that each person would only develop one or two varieties, and the rest would be from the database.

After carefully examining the mature biobank data, the three were amazed by the wisdom of their predecessors.

"Oh... what kind of species is this? It looks terrifying... does it also break down into super acid upon death...? And it can actively reproduce and plunder the host's genes..."

"Host? Parasitic type? Wait, what is this... so big... Thunder Beast? Its jaws can crush No. 5 superalloy?"

"Guys, and this too... a ranged venomous hydra... My god, how did these guys come up with this? The movement speed and the design are simply flawless!"

"Why are so many insect-shaped? Is it because insects have simple structures and highly efficient muscles?"

"What is this? The Queen of Blades... She actually requires human women who volunteer to be modified... Insane... Why would a human, a god, mutilate themselves to become such a thing?"

The three of them are, after all, children of the new era. In this age, with virtual reality all the rage, tabletop games like StarCraft are already relics, and while the Alien series of movies is a classic of the old era, it has been submerged in a sea of ​​countless new films.

Therefore, they do not understand the persistence of nostalgic people and their sentiment of perfectly presenting the classics in their hearts.

Besides these, there are many other strange and unusual creatures, each with its own unique function.

The only disadvantage of these constructs is the issue of soul strength, which results in a very low utilization rate of psionic energy. Most of them are also not very intelligent and require the commander to make decisions and control their direction from time to time. As for constructs like the Queen of Blades and Heart of the Swarm, which require huge costs, they are basically not chosen.

As the lichen carpet on the planet where PM18's ovaries are located grows larger, it receives more and more nutrients and energy, and the spores on it gradually increase in number and size, eventually evolving into oval-shaped objects of varying sizes.

Various ferocious creatures of different shapes hatch and form inside. Given the cost-effectiveness of their consumption and attack power, the insect-shaped ones make up a relatively large proportion.

In just three or four days, some places on this originally barren planet have become teeming with all sorts of terrifying, aggressive hatching insects or hatching beasts, and their numbers are increasing rapidly.

The three, who work almost in three shifts without a break, now sit in front of their computers with dark circles under their eyes, each holding a coffee, waiting for the "comet" on the screen to approach its target.

"It has to go in!!"

They couldn't help but start praying.

Comet Amber is a one-time product. The tunnel worms inside can survive for a long time, but they are not capable of launching themselves back into space. They can only be catalyzed by the PM18 ovary, but the previous time is wasted.

Moreover, the hatched creatures need to eat, and the energy consumed after they mature is far greater than that when they are still in the egg. In order to conserve energy, if the attempt fails, the hatched creatures will have to devour each other or simply disintegrate themselves to return the energy to the fungal carpet, which would be more cost-effective.

"Anomalies detected; planetary contamination rate 63%."

The computer's electronic voice immediately alerted the system as it approached the atmosphere of "Amber Comet".

"Yay!!" "Yay~" "Yay~"

The three were so excited they almost dropped their coffee cups. After a celebratory shout, they immediately began preparing.

In fact, Comet Amber has now accelerated to near the speed of light.

"Carrier decelerate!"

As soon as the command was given, a magical net instantly appeared around the Amber Comet, responding to the command and slowing its speed through psionic spells.

Looking up from the surface of this planet, one can see a huge meteorite falling from the sky.

The friction between the atmosphere and the amber layer generates a lot of heat, and the dormant tunnel worms begin to gradually awaken.

...

In a valley somewhere on the ground, a large number of intelligent creatures, dressed in tattered clothes and possessing six limbs and one eye, stared blankly at the giant shooting star in the sky.

Some individuals at the valley entrance, acting as defenders, clung tightly to their cylindrical weapons, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

Over the past year, these scenes of meteors and meteorites falling from the sky have occurred repeatedly, each time a nightmare, until the world order completely collapsed, and the remaining survivors could only eke out a living, praying that their hiding places would not be discovered.

At that moment, the meteorite was incredibly close to them.

Ten seconds later.

A deafening roar came from the south, and the shockwave swept in with a cloud of dust, leaving the area outside the defensive wall at the valley entrance in a complete mess.

A gurgling sound kept coming, as if something was drinking water.

If anyone were to get closer, they would find that the amber material surrounding the crater where the meteorite fell has completely melted, turning the crater into a pale yellow pond.

Meanwhile, a worm in the center sank to the bottom of the pond and sucked up all the liquid within seconds.

The magic net responded, and the worm, with most of its body underground, continued to grow, while its mouthparts expanded, transforming into a giant hole that seemed to contain not the worm's own body tissue, but a black hole.

...

It was still that valley. The survivors who could fight had all climbed onto the walls, trembling as they watched the smoke and dust rise into the distance.

A group of things of unknown number are approaching.

When the swarm of insects appeared at the valley entrance, the survivors were terrified and almost resigned to their fate.

The monsters looked at them as if they were food.

Three high school students on Earth are also hesitating.

"Organic matter, the natural energy blocks of the hatchling beast... Do you want some...?"

"Damn it, they're intelligent beings. Look at their defenses and the tools they have. Do you want the swarm to eat them?"

"Okay... sigh, let's find the abomination, record its identification information, native type 1."

After pausing at the valley entrance for more than a minute, the swarm of insects changed course and sped away in different directions, some even bypassing the valley and coming within ten meters of the outer wall.

The survivors on the wall had their hearts pounding, and only after all the monsters had disappeared did they look at each other in dismay.

"They... let us go?"
