Chapter 056 Prison Break

The only passage was blocked, and everyone had no way to retreat and could only fight hard with these larvae.

Fortunately, the larvae that hatch from the eggs are not as lethal as the deformed insects that can spray tail stingers.

Jiang He slew the larvae as they flew towards her, skirting the damp wall. 7039 stumbled along behind her, occasionally asking, "Iron Fist Tyrant, where are we going? These larvae are terrifying."

Jiang He turned a deaf ear to his words.

Lan Hu's voice appeared for one sentence and then stopped. She walked around the wall for most of the way but didn't hear Lan Hu's voice again.

Someone as loud as Lan Hu wouldn't get stuck after shouting, unless he was in danger.

There were too many larvae, and after they were killed, the mucus that flowed out of their bodies covered the ground. People stepped in the sticky liquid, and their feet felt like they were covered with glue, making it difficult to walk.

Teacher Song was protected by the guards in the middle. He ignored the larvae that were screaming sharply around him, and kept poking at his armpits with his head down.

"If there are larvae, there must be mothers." He extracted the larvae's mucus and murmured ecstatically, "The mothers carry more energy. Maybe we can find clues to the core."

"Teacher, there's something wrong with this mucus." Dr. Xu said to him, "There's more and more of it."

The slime on the ground was almost up to everyone's ankles and was still slowly rising.

Jiang He found a crack that was very narrow and could only accommodate one person passing sideways. She went in without hesitation.

"Iron Fist Tyrant, where are you going? Is there any danger in there?" 7039 didn't get a response from Jiang He, so he turned and shouted to the people still fighting the larvae, "There's a crack here. People can get through. Come quickly."

The crack was very long, and one occasionally had to bend down and crawl through it. Everyone initially thought this was a way to survive, until they discovered that after entering the crack, it was difficult for their tall bodies to turn around inside, and the larvae chasing them from behind could quickly jump in the crack and bite everyone.

The crowd was not seriously injured while fighting with the larvae, but they were bitten by the larvae in this long crack because they could not dodge. Several people had their arms or legs bitten off in the crack.

"What the hell kind of place did you find?"

"It wasn't me, it was 0112 who discovered it."

They had passed through the crack and entered another small cave. The cave was very dry and there was no sticky or wet liquid.

Jiang He's palm was pressed against the dry wall of the cave. The top of the cave was slender and pointed, very high, and a circle of night sky could be vaguely seen from the top of the cave.

It seems that you can reach the ground by climbing along the cave wall.

"This is the path the larvae take after hatching," Dr. Xu explained. "The larvae climb the wall to reach the ground. The hole above is probably only large enough for the larvae to pass through."

Someone said in frustration: "It's so high, even if the cave entrance can accommodate us, we can't climb up."

"It's better to stay in the nest we just came from. Those larvae can be killed easily." Someone muttered, "We crawled for half a day and ended up in such a dead end. Even if we go back the same way, the outside will be blocked by larvae."

"Then try to climb the cave wall. You might be able to make it up."

"This is the path the larvae used to crawl out. This means there are a lot of adult mutants out there. Do you think you'd be bitten off by a mutant the moment you pop your head out? You're a fool."

"We can't leave. We have to return to the hatching nest." Teacher Song interrupted everyone. "The Worm Queen must be hiding somewhere in the hatching nest. We need to find her. The mucus in the eggs of those larvae contains a very rich energy. I suspect the core is within the Worm Queen's body."

Finding the Zerg Queen might lead to finding the core of how this relic operates.

The guards and prisoners in the training camp all showed their greed.

The prisoners want to get the core more than the guards, as this is their chance to change their fate.

Captain Meng pointed at a few prisoners and ordered, "You three go ahead."

"Why us? What's the difference between walking in front and committing suicide?"

"Heh, why should I be the one to send you off? If you want to leave, go on your own."

7039 was also among them, he lowered his head and approached Jiang He.

One of the guards saw Jiang He along 7039 and his eyes lit up. "0112, you go ahead. Hurry up and don't dawdle. The larvae will rush in and block the passage, and we won't be able to get out."

The other two prisoners who were named looked at Jiang He with a gloating look and agreed, "That's right, 0112 is short and agile, so he is most suitable to walk in front."

Everyone looked at Jiang He.

"This guy is really suitable for walking in the front."

"Hurry up, 0112, why are you just standing there? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this dead end."

"Because one of my arms is broken, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Jiang He's palms were always pressed against the wall. Unlike the dampness of the insect eggs, this hole was very dry. After the eggs hatched, if the larvae really wanted to leave from here, there should be many traces of dried larvae mucus in the hole, or traces left by the larvae's claws when climbing the wall.

But strangely, there were no claw marks on the wall, and no traces of dried larval mucus on the ground.

Her shoulder was tapped. It was 7039. He reminded her softly, "Iron Fist Tyrant, they're all calling you."

Jiang He turned his head and looked at Captain Meng.

Captain Meng actually felt that 0112's small stature was very suitable for leading the charge, but for some reason, he still had a little "good impression" of this guy in his heart, thinking that the other party's smart brain would be useful in the future. Compared to 0112, he would rather take risks with other prisoners.

But since things have come to this, he no longer insists and says to Jiang He, "You go first, we will follow you."

Jiang He: "I don't plan to leave."

She stated the facts calmly.

Compared with other prisoners who are irritable and full of anger, 0112's calm attitude is really abnormal.

The guards all felt that 0112 was a truly perverted killer. After killing someone, he'd even used a knife to clean the meat, then elegantly eat the raw meat he'd sliced, complaining, "It's not fresh enough."

"You're the one who's got it all your own way! You brought us to this fucking place and we haven't even settled the score yet," one prisoner yelled. "Either you go ahead, or I'll chop you into a paste and feed it to the worms."

Guards: ... Look, this is the real criminal. His violent and brutal appearance shows that he is not a good person. He deserves to be shot ten thousand times.

Another glance showed that 0112 remained calm despite being provoked by his own kind, and his eyes were as calm as a lake, peaceful yet unfathomable.

The most heinous criminals are not scary. What is scary is that the criminals are not only heinous but also can disguise themselves.

This kind of prisoner is a scheming criminal who can manipulate a bunch of prisoners even in a den.

Jiang He glanced at the prisoner who provoked her and said calmly, "You try it."

She ignored him after she finished speaking, turned her head, and walked slowly along the wall, stroking it.

This guy brought them to this place, causing them serious damage. It would have been fine if he didn't just lead the way, but now he actually looks like he deserves a beating.

"Why the hell isn't this guy dead yet?" The other prisoners were inconsolable. "Put him in front and clear the way."

Several police officers who were about to scold Jiang He heard the prisoners' words, but suddenly felt that their scolding was too light and swallowed their words silently.

Teacher Song said, "We can't delay any longer. We just killed so many egg worms that we've alerted the mother worm. If she gets alerted and runs away, it will be very difficult to find her again."

He said to Jiang He, "0112, your body is agile, which makes you very suitable for walking in front. If you walk in front, I will reward you with a level one crystal core and give it to you after we leave the ruins."

The guards' expressions changed slightly. A first-level crystal core was something they couldn't even dream of. How could Teacher Song actually give it to a heinous criminal?

But they immediately realized that it was impossible for these prisoners to leave the ruins alive, and they must kill all of them when leaving the ruins. In this case, they could of course write blank checks at will.

Jiang He: "I don't plan to leave."

Captain Meng's face darkened. He swung his robotic arm to change form and looked at the three prisoners who had been called out earlier. "If 0112 doesn't want to, then you guys will continue to walk ahead. Hurry up."

The prisoner was indeed enraged, changing his form and rushing towards 0112. This bastard caused them to be injured, and now he wants to stay out of it. It's a wishful thinking.

0112 didn't turn around. He was still facing the wall, his hands touching it. Everyone cursed in their hearts: Why are you pretending, you big bastard? You're going to be skewered soon.

One of the prisoners stabbed Jiang He's back with a converted mechanical knife. He planned to carry Jiang He in front of him.

When Jiang He's mechanical knife was about to hit his back, he dodged sideways and punched the opponent's mechanical knife.

The prisoner fell to the ground screaming.

"Fuck! This bastard, ah ah it hurts so much, my nerves hurt..."

A prisoner stared at Jiang He in shock and shouted, "This guy is the one who crippled Ciyu and the others. It must be him. The crystal core of the Level 6 Nail-eating Green Python must be in his possession."

The prisoners who joined later didn't see the level 6 nail-eating green python in the lake. They saw the injured sticklebacks and said, "Damn, this guy actually swallowed the crystal core of the level 6 nail-eating green python."

The guards had no intention of clarifying for 0112. They were too lazy to care about the infighting among the prisoners. 7039 glanced at A, who happened to be looking at him at this moment, with disdain in his eyes as if he could see through his thoughts. He lowered his eyes to avoid the other's gaze.

Although the prisoners clamored about how powerful Jiang He was, they didn't dare to approach him because he not only dodged the sneak attack in an instant but also knocked the opponent out with one punch. When they thought about how he single-handedly destroyed Ciyu and his group and swallowed the crystal core of the level 6 nail-eating green python for himself, they didn't dare to approach him again.

"0112." Teacher Song said solemnly to Jiang He, "You will definitely not die if you walk in front. I believe in your ability."

Jiang He: "I don't plan to leave."

"What are you looking for?" Teacher Song asked her. "My detector can help you. As long as you lead us out, I will..."

Jiang He didn't even turn his head: "No need."

Dr. Xu stared at the sensor on his palm and muttered, "The passage is now densely packed with larvae. They have completely blocked the passage."

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they all took precautions and retreated to the position farthest from the cave entrance.

Jiang He walked to the innermost wall and said to the prisoners leaning against it, "Please make way."

There is so little space in the cave. They have finally managed to get the best hiding spot. Why should they give it up?

One of the prisoners glared at Jiang He and yelled, "Get out of here! I'm not afraid of you!"

Jiang He, "Oh."

She slowly raised her fist, and the other party immediately lost his temper and yelled, "If you have the guts, don't use your fists. What's so great about having a hard fist..."

Jiang He: "Oh."

She retracted her fist, and at the moment when the other person's eyes lit up and tried to take advantage of the situation to attack her, she swept her leg across and kicked him against the opposite wall.

Everyone: ...

Jiang He didn't turn around to look at the prisoner she kicked away. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the other prisoners who were leaning against the wall.

Although the other prisoners were cursing and swearing in anger, staring at Jiang He as if they wanted to skin her alive, they were afraid of Jiang He's strength and all moved aside in frustration.

Captain Meng stepped forward to negotiate with Jiang He: "Let Teacher Song and Dr. Xu hide here..."

"No." Jiang He: "Please move aside."

The prisoners who had just been forced to move aside by Jiang He's threat of force felt a little gloating when they saw that even the captain of the guards was being confronted.

I felt that 0112's behavior of angering the authorities was simply courting his own destruction, but I also felt that the look of these arrogant guards being humiliated was beautiful.

Captain Meng's face looked grim indeed. He took a step forward, attempting to use force. Jiang He glanced at the wound on his arm where the larvae had bitten him. "The larvae won't get in, but if you don't treat your wound, eggs will breed."

Teacher Song and Dr. Xu's faces changed drastically when they heard this. They hurriedly turned their heads to check the wounds on the guards' bodies that were bitten by the larvae.

They were researchers, and their prosthetic eye, unlike that of ordinary robots, was equipped with sophisticated microbial detection capabilities. After switching on the prosthetic eye's function, they indeed saw densely packed insect eggs in the wounds left by the larvae.

"Don't worry," Teacher Song reassured everyone. "According to the Zerg's egg patterns, they can only survive under certain conditions after entering the human body. As long as we consume insecticide within 72 hours, there won't be any problems. We won't be in the ruins that long."

His words made the panicked crowd breathe a sigh of relief.

But these people didn't seem to notice that Teacher Song also said that the worm eggs would survive under certain conditions after entering the human body, but he blurred the possible survival time.

7039 came close to Jiang He and showed her the wound on his arm. "Iron Fist Tyrant, please help me check if there are any insect eggs in my arm. Is there any way to kill them?"

"Yes." Jiang He gestured for him to stand further away, "I don't know."

7039 took a quick glance and saw no trace of larvae biting Jiang He's body. The other party must have known that there would be eggs in the wound after being bitten by larvae, but had not told him.

Jiang He took two steps back and then suddenly leaped forward, punching the wall that was half a body taller than her.

These walls are made of mud, and you can easily pick off a clod with your fingers, without having to hit them with your fists.

Jiang He's punch hit the wall, only creating a hole in the ground.

"0112, what are you doing?" Captain Meng said in a vigilant voice, "Is there something in the wall?"

Jiang He didn't answer. She took two steps back, jumped up again, and hit the same place with her fist.

"I'm just practicing my fists."

"Damn, I thought his fists were powerful, but he could only make a hole when he hit the wall. Did Ciyu and the others really get crippled by this guy?"

As the prisoners laughed and joked, Jiang He punched ten densely packed holes in the wall.

Teacher Song asked in confusion, "My detector can't detect anything inside this wall. 0112, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Jiang He took a few steps back and raised his fist again, "This punch will tell you if you're mistaken or not."

Her punch landed at the same spot as her first punch, which was also in the center of the fist holes on the wall.

There was still no movement. Everyone, who had been nervous for a moment because of Jiang He's words, suddenly rolled their eyes speechlessly.

"If you have that much energy, you might as well go and fight those larvae."

"Those larvae really can't get in. Hey 0112, your nickname is Iron Fist Tyrant because your fists are so strong? Why don't you use your fists to smash those larvae, one at a time?"

"0112, can't you do something more human? The dirt falling from the wall is almost choking me to death."

The cave was not big, and so many people could barely squeeze in. The wall was falling apart with each punch from Jiang He, but it was still far less polluted than the Jun stone at the bottom of the mine.

Jiang He glanced at the prisoner who said this, and the prisoner glared at her, "What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? What's that look in your eyes? If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes."

Jiang He walked up to him, grabbed his arm, pressed his head to prevent him from changing into a mechanical form, and quickly threw him towards the wall she had just hit.

The shouting prisoner fell from the wall, his whole body in pain, but his neurons and mechanical elements were not damaged.

Haha, this guy is nothing special!

He sneered and looked up at Jiang He sinisterly, "You're looking for death."

Before he could finish his words, the wall above his head collapsed with a loud bang.

Jiang He grabbed the guy's arm and pulled him out before he was buried. When the wall collapsed, she stepped on the wall next to her and jumped up and rushed to the place after the collapse.

Before anyone could react, Jiang He had already rushed to the top of the collapsed wall and stood on the slope, staring at the other side.

"Why the hell are you here?" Lan Hu raised his head and glared at Jiang He.

Jiang He standing on the slope was so noticeable that Lan Hu never expected to meet Jiang He here.

"Get out of here now." He yelled at Jiang He again, "Get out of here now! You can't get rid of this thing."

Jiang He glanced around.

The ground was covered with insect eggs, which were densely packed. The huge pit looked like an insect egg warehouse. And there were more and more insect eggs constantly emerging from the giant insect queen's tail and falling into the warehouse.

The insect queen's dark body was like a building, filling the huge cave in front of it.

The blue tiger was wrapped in layer upon layer of spider webs and hung above the insect mother's belly.

The insect mother's eyes are on both sides, and they are slightly closed at the moment, as if she is falling asleep?

But it still lays eggs continuously. Its huge belly is bulging so much that you can see densely packed insect eggs under its thin belly.

Jiang He took a quick look and confirmed that Lan Hu was not in any danger for the time being, then asked him, "Why are you in the ruins?"

"Ruins?" Lan Hu was even more shocked than Jiang He when he heard this: "Fuck, this is in the ruins?"

A new wave of researchers or armed guards arrives at the training camp every day, and it is obvious that they are all from outside the A62 planet.

The arrival of these people brought hope to the prisoners who wanted to escape from prison.

Blue Tiger is one of them.

He had been secretly studying the map of the training camp, trying to guess in which direction these people would park their flying ships after entering the camp.

In fact, he guessed right. Although the process was a bit tortuous, he finally succeeded in seizing a flying ship. As he expected, these flying ships were not equipped with a system to identify the prisoners in the training camp.

Lan Hu successfully piloted the flying ship into the sky, but when the flying ship was about to break out of the A62 planet and enter the atmosphere, a strong electric current appeared in the inhibitor on his neck, knocking him unconscious.

When he woke up again, he was in this huge insect mother delivery room.

Jiang He comforted the frightened Lan Hu: "This insect queen has no intention of eating you for the time being."

Lan Hu: "What's that in your hand? A dagger? Is your aim good? Point the dagger at my neck and get rid of me before you leave."

He sounded depressed and listless, as if he really didn't want to live anymore.

The dagger in Jiang He's hand was taken from a robot that attacked her. She wanted to prepare it for emergencies, but she never thought of using it to chop off Lan Hu's head.

"By the way," Lan Hu added, "When you see Brother Xiong, remember to tell him that as long as we have the suppressor, we won't be able to leave Planet A62."

Even if the flying ship cannot identify the identities of their prisoners, this "planet" can, and perhaps this is why no prisoners have been able to successfully escape from A62 since the establishment of the training camp.

Jiang He slowly raised his foot and kicked a robot that was trying to climb up behind him back into the small cave, saying, "Oh."

Lan Hu: "Go ahead and give me a quick kill."

Jiang He: "I don't like passing messages. Go talk to Brother Xiong yourself."

After saying that, he kicked back another robot that had climbed up.

The dusty robot in the cave angrily yelled at her, "0112, you bastard, why the hell did you kick me?"

Captain Meng, who was kicked down by her, was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "0112, if we don't get out alive, you will be executed after you get out even if you survive."

"Fuck you bastard, you shameless bastard, if you dare, jump down and I will beat you to death, believe it or not."

Lan Hu, who had just been dying and lifeless, instantly stood up after hearing these insults and roared angrily: "That bastard is scolding my people. Are you looking for death? Come out and see if I don't beat you into a pulp. You are just a piece of broken copper and iron. You can only howl and cry. You don't even take a piss and look in the mirror to see what kind of garbage you are..."

His voice was so loud that everyone was stunned. Was there someone else up there? And it was obvious that such words came from an alien.

How can aliens enter the ruins? Aren’t only robots able to do so?

Everyone was confused, but they also knew that asking 0112 would never give them an answer, as the other party threw more punches than spoke.

Jiang He poked his head out and asked Teacher Song in the cave, "How can we kill the insect mother?"

Teacher Song: "I need to see what kind of insect mother it is first."

There are many types of Zerg Queens. Although Mr. Song has never seen one in person, he has done research on Zerg and read information on the subject.

Suddenly, the blue tiger hanging above the insect mother's mouth began to shake.

The spider webs that fixed his body were caught by one of the insect mother's claws. The insect mother pulled the spider silk and pulled the blue tiger towards its mouthparts.

The insect mother woke up, and must have been woken up by Lan Hu’s loud voice just now.

Jiang He was stunned when he saw Lan Hu's turned body.

The blue tiger has a big belly.

His big belly was almost level with his entire body.

The contents of his stomach kept squirming, as if they would burst out at any moment.

The insect queen's belly is bigger than its body, and the same is true for the blue tiger.

Noticing Jiang He's gaze, Lan Hu collapsed and yelled, "Don't look at me, give me a knife in the neck."

As he got excited, his huge belly moved faster.

"Don't get excited and stop talking."

Jiang He was just wondering, it was just a failed escape, not something to the point of wanting to die, especially for someone with Lan Hu's temperament. It turned out to be because of his stomach.

What's in the blue tiger's stomach?

She had a vague idea of ​​an incredible answer in her heart.

"Hold on." She rushed forward quickly along the small slope in front of her, used the momentum to jump onto one of the insect mother's huge sickle tentacles, dodged the two sickle tentacles that swept across, and continued to rush upwards.

Lan Hu guessed her intention and was so angry that spit flew everywhere: "You fucking thing, are you sick in the brain? Get out of here now, get out of here now, you're so pissed off!"
