"Welcome to the underground city base. I am Wanli, the person in charge of the weapons research laboratory here."
After the middle-aged man asked Lianyi and the others to sit down, he introduced himself first.
Wanli is obviously an elite. He is not bald and has a very elegant temperament. He is the kind of person who can easily leave a good impression on people when they meet for the first time.
"Hello!"
Carter nodded hello.
"Our people said that there are space ability users among you, and they have also accepted the S-level mission issued by the base."
Wanli said with a smile.
"We have verbally agreed, but you seem to be still selecting the team that will complete the mission."
Carter said coldly.
"Because this mission is very important, we are so cautious. I hope you can understand."
"Can you tell me the specific content of the mission?"
William asked directly.
"certainly."
Wanli nodded and clicked on the wall behind him. There was a huge display screen hidden behind the wall.
"This time, our mission is to bring back the weapons developed by the institute in another city, and bring back the surviving researchers there."
When Wanli said this, an overhead view of the city appeared on the screen.
"This is Q City before it fell. There is a branch of our research institute here. They focus on the development of sonic weapons. When the Zerg invaded, they had already developed a sonic weapon.
After the Zerg invasion, the branch completely lost contact with us, but five days ago, we received a distress message from the branch through a special channel. "
The image on the display screen kept zooming in, and finally stopped above a ground building, indicating that this was the location of their branch.
"How can we be sure that the person asking for help is yours?"
Carter asked directly.
"The channel the other party used to send the distress signal belongs to a special channel, and the distress message is encrypted. Only we can decipher it."
Wanli explained.
“Please continue!”
"The message they sent was about the sonic weapon they developed, which can effectively interfere with the Zerg and cut off the connection between their different species. It is a very powerful auxiliary weapon, and they relied on this weapon to save their lives.
However, it has been three months since the Zerg invasion, and the institute's food reserves have run out. The team they organized is unable to leave Q City, so they asked us for help.
We sent out three teams to pick them up, but all three teams were wiped out, with only one team sending back a blurry video."
After Wanli finished speaking, he tapped the screen again, and a shaking picture appeared on the display, and it was horizontal. The background was the white wall of the research institute, but this time the white wall turned black because it was covered with black bugs.
When Lianyi saw this scene, she frowned, and then she discovered the problem.
The insects in the picture were actually merging. Two black insects started to merge from the head, and soon the two four-legged insects became six-legged insects, and their body size doubled. However, the other side did not stop merging. Another black insect flew over, and the two sides merged for the second time. After this fusion, they became eight-legged insects, and their body size was almost as tall as a person.
After three fusions, the insect now has three pairs of wings. When it flaps, it leaves only a residual image. The last scene is the opponent's mouthparts inserted into the body of the tasker, and the scene stops.
"As you can see, this type of insect is the most difficult type of insect species to deal with so far. I named it the Black Melting Insect. They can fuse multiple times, and after the fusion, their speed, strength, and destructive power increase exponentially.
Moreover, these black-melting worms are very sensitive to food, that is, us humans. Even though the research site in Q City is underground, it has still been discovered by these black-melting worms.
I am very sure that these bugs entered the institute through the ventilation ducts while they were separated. According to the last images and messages sent back, the three rescue teams were wiped out, but the researchers at the institute survived with the help of sonic weapons. However, due to food problems, they will not be able to hold on for much longer. "
"What is the weakness of this insect?"
Lian Yi suddenly asked.
"Wings! Without wings, their speed advantage will be eliminated, and then we can use hot weapons or cold weapons to destroy them, but..."
"But their speed after merging is so fast that it is difficult to capture their trajectory."
Ripple added.
"Yes."
"Isn't that a dead end? Wouldn't it be like going there to die?"
William said unhappily.
"This is also the point I want to make. That sonic weapon can force the combined Black Melt Bug to disintegrate and return to the state of a Level 0 Black Melt Bug. A Level 0 Black Melt Bug only has a pair of wings. With your abilities, you can kill it."
Wanli said immediately.
"Director Wan, what you said is still a dead end. If we enter the underground research institute, we will definitely encounter the black melting bugs. Do you think those bugs will wait until we get the sonic weapons before they merge together? I guess we will become their food before we find any survivors or weapons."
Carter also felt that the risk factor was too high.
"We can only take a gamble. Those black melting bugs usually don't stay in one place for too long. They should have left the institute."
Wanli explained.
"What if we don't leave? Aren't we walking into a trap?"
"But don't you have someone with spatial abilities? You can use space to escape in times of crisis."
"Director Wan, have you read too many novels? The space you are talking about only exists in novels about cultivation. Our space can only hold things, but people cannot enter."
Ripple said with a smile.
"No, I'm not letting people in. I have a newly developed space shielding device here that can capture spatial fluctuations and amplify them to conceal people."
Wanli said immediately.
"Lianyi, don't be fooled! He wants to take your space!"
The sound of the mortar echoed rapidly in Lianyi's mind.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your space is bound to your soul. He wants to use the space to completely get away from the computer."
Shijiu said anxiously.
"I see!"
"I'm about to cut off the connection between us. The other party is using you to determine my location. Be careful!"
After Shijiu finished speaking, he fell completely silent.
Lianyi's eyes changed when she looked at Wanli at this moment. It turned out that the big boss behind the scenes saw that the game level could not kill her, and discovered that she had her own space and weapons and equipment, so now he was going to use her to escape from the virtual game.
Hong Lianyi had never encountered such a thing in her previous life, but her original body did not have the same ability as her.
Lian Yi smiled and then said:
"Director Wan has thought this through very carefully. With this weapon, our chances of winning are much greater."
"Yes, we don't want too many casualties. This mission is about humans fighting against the invading Zerg. Our institute has made full preparations. I wonder if you are willing to take on this mission?"
“We took it.”
"When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
