Qi Heng played...
Chapter 333
As a member of the Bedoran civilization, he probably never imagined that he would be attacked without any preparation.
After receiving the error report from the main control room, Brad, the technician who came to handle the situation, looked confused.
His fighting ability was not strong. Before he could even see who attacked him, his knees went weak and he fell to his knees.
The vast spiritual power like the deep ocean weighed heavily on his body, and he couldn't even move a finger, let alone look up to see who was sitting in front of him.
I can't raise my head.
All he could see were a pair of legs.
Unable to speak, Brad could only maintain one posture, gritting his teeth, his mind in a mess.
However, he soon had no time to think about this problem, because his companions who came in one after another had the same fate as him.
He felt relieved when he found that even the combat members could not escape.
Even the combat team, whose physical fitness is much better than theirs and whose eyes are usually on the top of their heads, can't resist, so isn't it normal for a technician like me to be subdued directly?
Beside Qi Heng were brain worms that had already entered the mature stage. The spiritual clones they produced quietly parasitized the members of the Bedolan civilization in front of them in a very short time.
The whole process was very quick.
He simply used his mental power to suppress these people, making them unable to resist.
When the brain worm sent a signal that the parasitism was complete, he released his control over them, but under the control of the brain worm, they still maintained their kneeling posture with their heads bowed and did not move.
They are under the complete control of the brain worm and have no autonomy.
Qi Heng asked the brain worm to loosen some of its control over their limbs.
"Stop kneeling, get up."
After hearing these words, Brad quickly felt that he could move again, and even the mental force that had been oppressing him disappeared without a trace.
This voice is quite nice.
Brad stretched his body, stood up and looked up at the source of the sound. He saw a handsome young man with a slight smile on his face, and he met his gaze.
However, Brad was more attracted by the two identical bugs beside the unbelievably handsome man than the other one.
They are called insects because they have obvious insect-like characteristics.
The antennae, hard shell, abdominal feet, and wings also have gorgeous patterns.
After years of propaganda by the Alliance, the evil of insects has gradually become deeply rooted in people's minds.
Especially for someone like Brad who lives around the Tianjia Zerg and is very familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Tianjia Zerg, he wants to run away the moment he sees this strange insect.
He did take a step back in his heart.
Then... he found that he couldn't take the second step back, and he couldn't even turn around and run.
The feeling of being unable to control my body came back again.
But this time, Brad did not feel any mental force suppressing him and making him unable to move.
It's more like the body is going against the mind's will, but how is that possible?
Wait, there are other people besides me, why haven't I seen anyone else do anything so far?
Each combat team is very powerful. If they were not restrained, they would have attacked the intruder by now.
Or, is it only me who has gained freedom?
Brad turned his head and looked behind him.
Since he was the first one to come in, he naturally knelt at the front, and those who came in later naturally knelt behind him.
After seeing the scene behind him clearly, Brad couldn't help but take a breath.
They were in all kinds of postures, some looked like they were about to attack, some clenched their fists, and their expressions were very ferocious.
Those who are a little more peaceful are technical people like me.
Qi Heng waited patiently for them to see the situation clearly.
It is much easier to speak with facts than to try to explain things to them.
"As you can see, this place has changed hands," he said. "Sit down and have a good chat, my new employees."
This left Brad and the others confused. No, what did this mean?
What do you mean this place has changed ownership? Are you kidding me? Does this person really know whose territory he is standing on now?
As a fifth-level civilization, the Bedolan civilization is looked up to and respected by other civilizations wherever it goes, except for the sixth-level civilizations.
Now that they’ve broken into our old nest, what are you talking about as new employees?
If the situation wasn't so strange, Brad and the others would really think that the person who spoke like that was a fool.
But now, it's obvious that they look more like fools.
Because the moment the black-haired man finished speaking, their bodies moved on their own, and they obediently sat down cross-legged as the other party said.
No matter what they were doing before, they all sat down at this moment.
The head could still move, so Brad could see clearly.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, and this feeling reached its peak when he saw everyone else sitting down.
Was it mental manipulation? He couldn't think of any other way to manipulate people like puppets, but there were fifteen people here, including himself. What kind of mental power could control so many people at the same time?
Moreover, the other party looked very relaxed.
Those two strange-looking bugs looked a little familiar. Had I seen them somewhere before? But if I had seen such strange bugs before, it would be impossible for me to have no impression of them.
Without control over his body, only his mind was free. Brad couldn't help but think about all sorts of things.
Perhaps it was because the other party's attitude was indeed calm and there was no sense of murderous intent or danger, which made Brad's original tension disappear.
"I know you all have a lot of questions in your mind, but I don't need to answer them for you."
"Just know that nothing will change from now on. You still only need to follow orders and do your job."
“Don’t do unnecessary things, it will be good for everyone.”
Qi Heng's eyes swept across their faces, clearly seeing expressions of indignation and excitement, which was within his expectations.
"Let me introduce you to your new boss." He raised his hands and placed one on each side of the brain worm.
"They are the leaders in charge of the hive on Skymist Star."
"Brainworms, that's what I usually call them."
He had originally tried to persuade Imper and the others with kind words on Tianyun Star only because he did not have a way to defeat the enemy at that time. Now the situation is different and there is no need to waste words on any conciliatory policy.
"You should be familiar with this name."
"Your current situation is caused by the parasitism of the mind, which has led to your inability to control yourself."
Qi Heng said this, and without caring about the ugly faces of everyone present, he changed the subject.
"Cooperating well with his work is your only remaining value. If you are unwilling to even maintain this little value, then I don't mind losing an employee."
He pulled up a photo and showed it to them one by one.
"His name is Wen Renyu, and he's the responsible insect of Tianwu Star."
Seeing their faces full of colors, as wonderful as an overturned palette, Qi Heng smiled and confirmed their guess.
"You guessed it right. He's a Zerg, the same Zerg you're keeping in captivity on the Sky Mist Planet—the Tianjia Zerg."
Fortunately, the brain worm controlled them and prevented them from making any sound, otherwise it probably wouldn't be so quiet at this time.
After doing all this, Qi Heng left.
About half an hour after he left, the people left in the control room were able to regain a little breathing space from the brain worm.
They looked at each other, but after passing the critical point of emotional excitement, they could not say anything.
Some people tried to resist desperately, such as pressing the send-a-message button on the console, but the next moment when they were about to touch the button, they slapped themselves in the face.
The heavy and loud, crisp ear-scraping sound echoed throughout the control room.
Just hearing it hurts.
Brad felt sad and hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice to a colleague he was familiar with.
"Tell me, is this true?"
"...Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?" He glanced cautiously at the two brainworms over there, only to feel his whole body light and floating, as if he was in a trance and couldn't find his feet.
"Don't ask me, I don't know." My colleague looked as if he was doomed.
"I only know that we are finished, and Tianwu Star is finished too."
The name of the original Zerg is as notorious as that of the Tianjia Zerg, and the brain worm is the evil devil among them.
After learning that these two worms were brain worms, they felt more and more familiar the more they looked at them. They really looked a bit like the brain worms they had seen in movies before.
"—You're right, we're finished."
Brad curled his lips and thought, that's it, this is revenge.
