Chapter 79 Human-worm date
"Such a rude and forceful approach is not the proper etiquette for an audience with the queen of our clan."
"My... Your Highness."
The face standing in front of him with a smile was a mediocre one. That face belonged to Inner Mondazowei who was possessed and devoured by the Zerg at the outpost space station in the Siren Galaxy.
Fitzgerald did not speak. The alpha with a cold face simply raised his eyes slightly and looked at the inner nest dome in the upper left corner with great indifference.
On top of the huge dome, a spider was crawling and hanging upside down.
Inner Monda in front of him suddenly grinned: "I didn't expect that I could deceive you. But I mimicked this appearance to welcome you, which should better express the sincerity of our tribe."
The sweet-talking spider slowly slid down the spider thread on the dome and landed in front of Fitzgerald.
This is a seventh-level king spider with a very high IQ and a very cunning nature. It is good at hunting and illusion.
The pair of orange-red compound eyes, unique to spiders, stopped less than ten centimeters in front of Fitzgerald's eyes.
A dull empty sound of "hum"
An invisible energy wave exploded between the two!
This direct mental confrontation between man and insect decided the outcome in less than three seconds.
The spider was shaken by the powerful mental wave of the human in front of it and slid back three feet! The spider silk that was originally hidden in the layout broke one after another.
Its gnawing mouthparts closed unwillingly, and its six metallic limbs had been broken into two parts.
Not daring to waste anything, the spider quickly picked up its own broken limbs that were scattered on the ground, and with a "crunch", "crunch", it chewed them roughly a few times and swallowed them whole.
Fitzgerald looked at the series of actions of the "Level 7" king insect in front of him without any extra expression, and just sent out a very simple signal with the fluctuations of his mind:
'Lead the way? Or should I go in alone?'
The spider flipped its carapace, revealing another human face. In its wide-open mouth were the insect mouthparts with sharp barbs. It manipulated the human vocal cords fused to its carapace to vibrate, and it made an extremely hoarse roar:
"Damn humans!"
"I treated you with the courtesy of a noble, but I received such a rude response!"
The human face had already been fused to the spider's carapace in a pale and stiff manner, even emitting a petrified sheen. Under the control of the spider, although the accent was a little strange, the words were very clear and logical:
"Human, please tell me your generation number and follow the etiquette of both races to meet our Majesty!"
That was the interstellar universal language thousands of years ago.
Fitzgerald squinted. He recognized the face.
When he was still young, the face of this human general, which was majestic without anger, was all over the heroic memorial corridor of the "Wall of Sighs" on the border.
The Zerg have been trying to integrate human genes for several generations, but human genes have played too small a role in their evolution. Only language and some human culture have been absorbed by them, and they have become this weird appearance.
Looking at the Zerg guards surrounding him, he did not get bogged down in these meaningless "etiquette" details.
But Fitzgerald did not use human language to respond to the spider's request. Instead, he used his mental power to simulate a more powerful information wave, at a frequency that is universal among all life forms in the universe, and transmitted it directly to the depths of the 'Heart of the Nest'!
"In the name of the 53rd generation of Gerard's bloodline, I request an audience with the Zerg..." The red-haired alpha's expressionless face suddenly curved into a frivolous smile.
'The last golden queen.'
Hiss—hiss—
The Zerg Guards' protesting roar echoed in the empty nest.
'Golden Queen' is the correct name, but this human deliberately added the word 'last generation', which obviously carries a great deal of contempt.
"Human scum!" The spider in front of him roared with a hoarse voice, "Afterwards, I will obtain the Queen's permission, and I will tear off your limbs and suck your marrow! I will knock off your head! As a new decoration for my carapace!"
However, at this moment, a gentle and clear mental wave came from the depths of the nest: "Spider, don't be so rude."
'No wonder!'
"Gerald's direct bloodline?" "I'm trapped here, and it turns out that humans have evolved to the 53rd generation..."
“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time——”
'Come in!'
That was the mental wave of the current Zerg Queen, which was extremely familiar to every Zerg.
The spider slightly touched its tentacles deep into the 'nest heart' to show its utmost respect and absolute obedience.
It stopped playing tricks and obediently took the lead in crawling along the long corridor.
Fitzgerald followed behind it, and immediately behind it was surrounded by dense Zerg guards. However, after the spider crawled for a while, it suddenly stopped on a black stone wall!
"Humans! Follow me - hehehe -"
It was an extremely malicious mental wave signal. The moment the tail sound disappeared, the spider bounced and hit the stone wall, and instantly disappeared into it!
Fitzgerald snorted and held the blue-purple "Leaping Bug Crystal Core" tightly. The ice-blue mental power rose slightly and instantly covered his whole body. After two or three breaths, the ice-blue mental power quickly found the same frequency band as the blue-purple crystal core, and a slight resonance and fusion occurred very quickly.
It was a temporary 'worm' state.
Then the red-haired alpha changed the frequency and jumped into the stone wall without hesitation.
This is one of the reasons why Fitzgerald changed his strategy and went straight to the worm nest, using a "solid wormhole" that only the worms can open! Go straight to the "Great Wild Star Region".
Otherwise, given that the Zerg scouts had been alarmed, it would be impossible for them to reach Planet BV32-II in a timely manner without being blocked.
Moreover, since the prediction model of "universe collapse" has been formed, the survival strategies of the two races can indeed be solved directly by "king" versus "king".
As for the imperial capital Yindu, it represents the struggle within the human race. He doesn't care about "politics" itself, and Albert is enough to deal with it.
*
Not surprisingly, he experienced indescribable pressure and a strong sense of distortion. After a period of time that seemed both long and short, Fitzgerald's feet stepped onto the core of this worm planet.
This is the center of the planet, the 'core layer' with a pressure thousands times higher than that on the surface.
However, the hollowed-out triple gravity mineral planet is now equivalent to a hollowed-out apple. The tunnel deep underground is inlaid with special minerals collected from the "anti-gravity" planet, making the pressure here barely bearable for the living species.
But for humans, this is still too much pressure, far beyond what the hardest human bones can withstand.
Fitzgerald was a different man now.
A look that no one has ever seen before.
It was a figure similar to that in a wormhole space. His human body was now in a state of half energy and half matter, but only two of the seven chakras in his body were lit to cope with the current geocentric pressure. Pure energy flowed through his body, and his helmet and crystal core had already been stored in the space button.
The spider had long since disappeared, but the trail it left behind clearly pointed to the direction of the 'nest center'.
Until I stepped onto the dry and rough ground in the long corridor, and walked into the corridor that became increasingly slippery, until the wrinkled rock walls around the corridor suddenly became smooth, and finally after a corner.
The view suddenly broadened.
The high dome was covered with more underground microorganisms emitting faint light. In the air floated strange jellyfish, another kind of intelligent creature bred and enslaved by the insect race. They dragged long poisonous threads and wandered in this empty and vast underground space.
The entire space is in a very regular oval shape, like the proudest work of a craftsman who pursues perfection. The rock walls around the space are inlaid with more reddish-brown anti-gravity minerals to maintain this deliberately excavated "nest center" cavity, which can be maintained from being squeezed and collapsed under the gravity squeeze of the earth's center.
This is the Zerg's meeting hall.

the other side.
On the planet BV32-II, the magnetic storm is getting stronger, and the human special forces team and the ground Zerg are still in a state of stalemate.
Inside the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, Allen was concentrating on his work.
Su Xi was playing with the dark 'hollow ball', which was the original form of the dark insect armor given to her by Holdman. However, after several 'forgings' by her, the patterns on it became more rustic and had a luxurious dark golden hue.
She held the 'hollow ball' towards the light again and looked at it. It was indeed empty. There was no movement even when she used her mental power to detect it.
Only when the 'Sand of Time' between her brows lights up, can she 'see' that there is indeed a 'little thing' inside with her eyes closed.
Su Xi blinked in confusion. She just fed it once like she did with a horned lizard, and the 'little thing' inside actually slept so peacefully?
A glance at the surveillance camera showed that the five newly born king insects in the 'forbidden room' on the lower level were gradually losing their patience and even started fighting among themselves, while the 'insect confinement device' was still working steadily.
She stroked the 'hollow ball' with rough patterns, thinking that this 'little thing' could be quite useful if used properly.
Should I give this 'thing' to Chris later, or should I keep it for fun?
While she was deep in thought, she suddenly felt the familiar 'planetary fluctuations' again.
Su Xi stood up and said to Allen, "The planet has started to fluctuate in a special way. A magnetic storm of at least level A is coming soon. Call Chris and the others back."
"I have a suggestion that will completely get rid of these annoying external bugs."
Ellen looked up at her, nodded, and handed her an access port, saying enthusiastically, "You are already one of our team. You can post directly on the channel in any situation."
Su Xi smiled, and then directly translated the 'planetary language' she received into a way that humans could understand through the mental communication device, and sent it over.
It was a vast 3D image of the planet, and predicted fifteen minutes of things like 'seismic waves', 'destruction zones', and...
A spider-web-like 'safety belt' that changes with time against the backdrop of a grand map.
After receiving Su Xi's plan and suggestions, the already slightly exhausted people returned directly to the Sun Swallowing Shuttle under Chris's decision.
Eight minutes later, the engine started.
The super A-level geocentric shock wave predicted by Su Xi based on the "planetary language" reached the ground without any warning.
Afterwards, as Allen kept muttering "unbelievable" to himself, the terrain monitor they set up on the planet sent a real-time waveform of the shock wave.
The two are exactly the same! In the process of interstellar human beings conquering the universe, predicting the laws of planets is not a very difficult thing, but the difficulty is indeed the "accuracy". Under normal circumstances, if the prediction of pure nature can reach 90%, it is already extremely accurate.
Not to mention that the prediction provided by Su Xi was within 30 centimeters of error, not a single centimeter off! This is a pretty scary "prediction"!
At this moment, everyone was immediately in awe of the term "planetary language"!
Alphas are a group of people who worship power extremely. Although they have deep-rooted gender prejudice against omegas, omegas are so strong in every aspect that they can no longer be measured simply from the perspective of their gender.
From this moment on, Su Xi gained the respect of everyone from the bottom of their hearts.
But for Su Xi, no matter praise or criticism, she still doesn't care much.
Their world is still a sightseeing journey for her. What she cares about at the moment, besides Xiguang's wish, is the "calling" sound she feels on this planet.
That was the 'truth' she was determined to find out no matter what.
Why did fate make her travel through this?
Amid the busy and orderly operation of the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle, the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle spinning in the air was greeted by a second, even more powerful shock wave.
During the previous battle with the Zerg, the high ground where they were located was instantly sunk into the ground by a level 10 magma eruption and was engulfed by the boiling lava.
The red light illuminated most of the sky, brighter and hotter than the aurora floating on the horizon!
The volcanic ash covering the sky rose, and the earth cracked. The remaining insects were still chasing closely. At this moment of earthquake and tremor, a huge hole appeared in the sky again. The flying dragon king insect that blocked the planet dispatched almost all of its three-legged flying wing insect troops!
The remaining 'worm egg locations' they sensed during the brief lull in the earthquake were originally just waiting for the collective hatching of the 'worm mothers' and the first battle of the 'worm mothers' that was about to take place on this planet.
Originally, they didn't take those humans seriously, just as one of the materials for the "insect mother" to practice. The "golden insect egg" trapped in the Sun Swallowing Shuttle was judged as a failed "abandoned egg" by the insect tribe from the moment Su Xi intervened.
A 'worm queen' that cannot even devour a few humans, no matter what special abilities it evolves, can only become 'food' for its own kind that is of little use.
However, in the sudden disaster that broke out on this planet, the Zerg were caught off guard and all their arrangements were disrupted. They hurriedly began the rescue work to rescue the other more than 300 unhatched "insect eggs" that were "squeezed" out by the earthquake.
These 'three-legged flying insects' occasionally encountered the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle on its way, and they were all deliberately guided by the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle to the 'impact zone', and then swallowed up by the subsequent magma or tsunami.
On the constantly updated "safety line" given by Su Xi, with the lowest energy consumption, they beautifully "lured the enemy into a trap".
This was a comeback battle in which the car won beautifully and elegantly even though the engine damage reached over 60%!
Just like that, on the planet BV32-11, the stalemate between the human race and the Zerg race due to the disparity in power was completely broken!
