Chapter 101 Earth Core Date

Deep in the lower mantle, there is still 1,000 meters close to the outer core interface.

The sinking core module was attacked fiercely by the Zerg "companion". The sudden collision triggered a counterattack by the AI ​​default program.

The defensive force field expanded. The muzzle of the gun under the antiparticle ejection layer opened, aiming at the direction of the attack and firing a burst of shots.

At this moment, they were in a slightly softer area in the dense rock layer of the lower mantle. The powerful attacks of the antiparticle pulse guns broke through layer after layer of rock layers of different ages, annihilating all the materials along the way until the provocative "golden eggs" were completely destroyed.

The 'golden eggs' that were annihilated in this energy state had no chance to transfer energy to their own kind and disappeared completely.

Such a sudden change occurred, and the red-haired alpha only glanced at the situation on the monitoring screen. Those flashing golden dots originally had nothing to do with the core cabin. But at this moment, the monitoring screen gradually showed a siege situation.

He understood that this was the clarion call for the start of the group battle for the 'Golden Eggs' competition. As they got closer to the official competition venue, the stronger ones would choose to attack the nearest 'weaklings' to show that they were ready for the final competition.

The formal group battle between the strong will only be launched once they enter the outer core interface.

But - what made them turn to attack the human core cabin?

Is it because of the crystal core of the temporarily assembled 'Leap King Bug'?

Not to mention that the King Bug's crystal core is still wrapped in a force field membrane at this moment, but even if the force field membrane fails under pressure and the bug core fluctuations accidentally leak out, it will only make those "golden bug eggs" judge that the core module is just a companion soldier bug that is "not qualified to compete."

What went wrong?

Fitzgerald's eyes flashed with contemplation. But at the moment when the antiparticle pulse cannon annihilated the provocative 'golden eggs', he and the brown-haired omega's hands were shaking slightly.

Fitzgerald's thoughts were interrupted, and he lowered his head to examine it carefully. His beloved omega frowned slightly, and his face turned pale.

Only then did his expression become serious. He held Su Xi's hand tightly again and directly used his mental power to sense her condition.

Su Xi shook her head and quickly stopped him, "It's okay. I just felt an indescribable tingling sensation for a moment, but it's okay now."

She didn't want him to waste any more energy during the slow recovery period of the 'heart chakra'. Although she hadn't explained the current situation in detail, she knew from looking at the current environment that they were in the process of diving into the center of the earth.

Fitzgerald did not force his way in, because the 'destructive' quality of his mental power was too strong. Without the other party's full cooperation, he did not dare to forcefully investigate her already fragile state.

Fitzgerald touched her face and asked in a low voice: "Are you really okay?"

"Nothing." Su Xi rubbed his hand and asked, "How about you?"

The red-haired alpha smiled, even his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's not a big deal, I'm used to this process."

"Don't worry. We will be able to recover before reaching the center of the earth at the latest."

Su Xi's eyes searched around, and finally stopped at the half-pack of recovery agent she had inhaled. Before she could ask, Fitzgerald seemed to know what she wanted to say, and replied directly following her gaze: "No need for those, if you are talking about the recovery effect--"

"You are my best recovery agent."

He was telling the truth. After all, the growth of "mental power" and the recovery efficiency of the chakra circulation were all influenced by subjective psychological factors rather than physiological factors. Moreover, his current level of consumption could not be cured by recovery agents alone.

But to Su Xi, it sounded like a love story.

The genuine love words came so unexpectedly that Su Xi, who had very little experience in love, immediately blushed.

But the other party still looked serious.

Fitzgerald, on the other hand, had no idea how brilliant his unintentional words were. After he unexpectedly received a response from the other party during the kiss just now, he threw away the standard terms of AO relationships and the so-called success stories.

But not understanding why the other person is blushing doesn't necessarily prevent him from enjoying the process.

Su Xi took a deep breath to quickly dispel the hot feeling on her face, and asked, "What is our situation now?"

'we'.

Fitzgerald smiled secretly in his heart again, but there was not much expression on his usually cold face. He was always decisive when it came to serious matters, so he simply explained the key points of the current situation in a few words.

While explaining, he manually adjusted the core module's automatic counterattack program.

After understanding the current situation, Su Xi lowered her head and thought for a moment.

“Maybe,” she said, “I understand why.”

"Is that why?"

Su Xi took out the hollow ball that contained the "little thing", and then recounted what happened on the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle from her perspective.

Finally, she said a little embarrassedly: "I wanted to tell Chris, but a series of changes later..."

"Can I see it?"

"Um."

She handed it to him, but the dark insect armor suddenly expanded defensively, refusing the approach of this alpha with too strong mental power.

Helplessly, Fitzgerald could only hold Su Xi's hand and hold the hollow ball in their hands with their fingers intertwined.

This handshake posture was extremely intimate, but Su Xi found that she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She realized that she was unconsciously accepting all his closeness little by little.

"Can I share a 'sight' with you?"

Su Xi nodded.

The red-haired alpha lowered his forehead and lightly touched it. The ice-blue mental thread carefully entangled with Su Xi's pale pink mental power, and slowly explored the situation in the 'hollow ball'.

Then the "worm" in the hollow ball appeared in the "field of vision" shared by the two.

'So hungry! So hungry! So hungry!'

'Not enough!'

'I can't eat enough!'

'More!'

A series of sharp noises, mixed with a crying sound that sounded like a baby and a whistle, made people feel upset and their heartbeats accelerated.

However, his heartbeat was very steady, and his emotions were not fluctuating. He was very steady and slowly calmed Su Xi's irritable mood.

Compared to its initial ferocious appearance, the appearance of this "little thing" now increasingly meets Su Xi's aesthetic taste.

It still appeared to be 'invisible', but under the mental scan, its initial outline was revealed. If Su Xi were to describe it, except for the rows of sharp teeth in its mouth that looked a bit eerie, its round body outline was similar to the silkworm baby she raised when she was a child.

Fitzgerald said: "The probability of hatching twins from this generation of 'eggs' is more than three times higher than in previous generations. This is a last resort for the Zerg in the face of a future resource shortage crisis. They..."

He smiled and said meaningfully: "It's much more sensitive than humans."

As he was speaking, the core module began to tremble slightly again.

The action of killing the 'golden eggs' just now finally attracted the attention of other members of the same tribe.

At this moment, it is still 800 meters away from the outer core interface.

Seven or eight 'golden insect eggs' that were getting closer and closer to the interface turned back, intending to devour the extremely weak 'waste egg' of the same species in the 'core capsule' that exuded a very special smell, as an advance energy supplement for the next competition.

The core module's automatic defense was operating effectively. After Fitzgerald manually adjusted the defense program, it now mainly focused on defense and only occasionally launched active attacks.

Su Xi asked: "Such a tepid counterattack...what are we waiting for?"

Fitzgerald glanced at her and said approvingly, "Yes, we are waiting for the best chance to escape."

"Our current goal is to break through the outer core interface and wait for the shock wave of the second explosion to reach the planet before waiting for an opportunity. By then, the 'golden eggs' in the competition will be completely annihilated under the impact of the star, and our chance of survival will be less than 13%."

Their intertwined hands tightened, and he whispered to her, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a dangerous situation. Do you... blame me?"

Su Xi was speechless. She felt that the man who asked this question had a problem with his brain and logic!

"Silly!" Su Xi blurted out, feeling that it was necessary to correct the mentality of treating her as a fragile object, and the mistake of putting all the responsibility on herself when facing her.

"You could have ignored me and gone back to the Expedition with Chris and the others. How great would that be?"

"As a burden, I don't say stupid things, you!"

"you!"

"Foolish and stupid!"

Su Xi was a little angry, her voice was slightly higher by two degrees, with a kind of guilt and confusion. As a woman from Earth with strict family education, she couldn't say a curse word, and this was probably the most severe curse tone she could use to treat someone close to her.

Fitzgerald was stunned.

As an alpha, he did not expect her to say such a thing. After all, under the tacit custom of the current ABO society, an alpha is responsible for the omega, which includes everything from life safety to freedom of will.

Before meeting her, he was disdainful of this kind of relationship, but after meeting her, he kept breaking his own bottom line and finally chose to follow his intuition.

Even take the initiative to research the best ways to interact with AO.

But she always gave him surprises. All her reactions took him by surprise and made him feel not only soft-hearted but also filled with an indescribable excitement.

A fullness and satisfaction that has nothing to do with desire, and an uncontrollable desire that has nothing to do with the breaking of the estrus threshold.

and--

Under such circumstances, he threw away his deliberate restraint and held her in his arms again. He rubbed his chin against her soft hair and laughed softly.

"Hey, hey! What are you laughing at? I'm seriously angry!"

"Um."

"It's my fault."

"I'm so silly and stupid..." He hugged her tighter and finally laughed so hard that his shoulders shook.

As the pinnacle of human evolution and a groundbreaking and successful attempt, the Fitzgerald gene sample is undoubtedly the most perfect product while retaining the human gene core.

As for IQ? He is probably one of the rare alphas who can directly use the biological human brain to infer the "battlefield" at a time when humans are overly dependent on implanted chips and are becoming increasingly lazy.

But that is only the most insignificant advantage in the evolutionary process.

He is stupid and dumb? But she said it so seriously.

Whether he is Fitzgerald now or Hall in the past, he has never been given such insulting comments, but he accepts them with pleasure.

"Hey, hey! Stop laughing!" Su Xi knew she had said something stupid, as if her IQ and EQ would drop when she was facing him in private! But what about him? At this moment, life and death were at stake. Even if he had seen through life and death, he couldn't act like he had won the lottery!

"Okay, don't be angry, I won't laugh anymore."

He was sensitive to the spicy taste of his omega's pheromone. Oh! She was really going to get angry.

The red-haired alpha suppressed his inappropriate smile, lifted her face, held her in his palm, and bit her puffy cheek.

One bite on the left, one bite on the right, and one more bite from the pouting mouth in the middle.

Su Xi, who was already as angry as a puffer fish, didn't want to talk!

Fitzgerald coughed lightly and tried to continue with the previous topic: "Our best chance is that after the planet's outer shell is torn apart, we can avoid the first wave of mantle gasification and disintegration in the lower core interface."

"Then, at a certain balance point between the internal pressure and the external impact, the fluctuations of the jump insect core can be used to carry the dragon to jump to the insect nest for the final rescue of the 'golden egg', and then return to the Expedition via the insect star."

Su Xi understood.

He spoke clearly and logically, but each step was easier said than done.

"So we don't need to get involved in the current competition and struggle between the 'golden eggs'."

"But the way they are besieging us now..." Su Xi watched the attack and defense of the core module on the surveillance screen, "Is it okay?"

"Don't worry, we only need to sink another 500 meters to reach the outer core interface, and they won't care about us anymore."

He lifted her hand and looked at the fully hatched 'Mother Worm' in the hollow ball in her hand, and said, "Because it is too weak, it will be judged by its own kind as an 'abandoned egg' that 'cannot pass through the outer core interface'. Normally, this kind of 'abandoned egg' would be a good feed for the Zerg, but now it is impossible."

Fitzgerald said: "If you like, keep it for fun. Wait until it develops a second time, and then decide if it's a threat."

"No, I don't like bugs." Su Xi said honestly, "Although it looks much better now than before."

“But it’s still so noisy!”

Before Su Xi finished speaking, the golden light ball outside the core cabin hit again. This time, the turning power of the core cabin was destroyed.
