In addition to asking the Queen to conduct research on prostheses some time ago, Chen Ming also asked the Queen to conduct a research based on the Zerg's abilities.

Because he discovered that the Zerg also had very strong resistance to toxins and other things.

To be precise, it is not resistance, but an ability.

After ingesting toxic substances, the Zerg can secrete special substances that can remove or neutralize the toxic substances at an extremely fast speed.

This special substance is an antidote for the Zerg, but not necessarily for humans.

So Chen Ming asked the Queen Insect to find a way to remove the parts that are harmful to humans while retaining the original functions when secreting these special substances.

Chen Ming has no ability to resist poison, so if he is poisoned one day, he might be able to be saved by relying on the Queen Insect's ability.

And this technology was actually successfully mastered by the Queen of Insects.

It’s just that this technology was developed by the Queen of Insects just when the prosthetic technology had become completely mature.

With the prosthesis, the possibility of Chen Ming himself being poisoned is greatly reduced.

So Chen Ming originally thought that it was unlikely that he would be able to use this technology.

But I didn't expect that he can still use it now.

Used on this driver who was injected with too much stimulant.

But if he wants to use this technology now, there is a problem, that is, the existence of the Zerg may be exposed.

The best he could do was to let the Queen Insect try to decompose these special substances after detoxifying the driver, but he couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate and that all the residues would be completely eliminated.

These unique substances are very easy to analyze for their composition.

The Thorn Zerg and Zerg-related biotechnology are Chen Ming's trump cards, and exposing them is not a good thing.

But if Chen Ming doesn't use this technology now, and he doesn't have any other drugs on hand, the driver will die.

Many clues will be disconnected directly here.

Seeing that the driver's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, Chen Ming no longer had time to think too much.

The Zerg shell on the wrist suddenly came alive, and a tiny insect egg instantly hatched on the shell, forming a small body of the queen insect.

The queen insect's body continued to differentiate, and several flexible tentacles then waved as if they were growing on Chen Ming's wrist.

Part of the Queen Insect's consciousness was quickly transmitted to these tentacles, and she understood Chen Ming's thoughts.

The end of one of the tentacles immediately grabbed a syringe on the ground, decomposed and discharged all the original pink liquid, and filled the inside of the syringe with light green liquid instead.

The tentacles moved very quickly and immediately inserted the needle into the driver's neck artery, making Chen Ming feel a chill on his neck.

Light green liquid was injected into the driver's body.

After just a dozen seconds, the driver suddenly started coughing violently and spit out a large amount of blood with a light pink color.

Just when Chen Ming was worried that the driver would cough to death and the needle would break.

The queen insect's tentacles on his wrist suddenly pulled out the needle.

Fortunately, no blood spurted out of the driver's neck, his coughing gradually stopped, and even the driver's breathing stabilized.

Then the needle was suddenly controlled by the tentacle and pierced into other tentacles.

The queen insect extracted a part of its own tissue and stuffed it into the syringe, mixed it with some thinner light green liquid, and stabbed it into the driver's neck again.

Just now, the Queen of Insects was helping the driver excrete stimulants. This time, it was the Queen of Insects who was cleaning out the special substances remaining inside the driver's body according to Chen Ming's request.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming subconsciously relaxed a little.

Although the Queen Zerg has never learned the ability to express herself in language, she is still very skilled in these Zerg-related abilities.

There is a high probability that the traces it left behind can be removed.

In addition, during the time that the Queen of Worms studied prostheses, she also gained a full understanding of the human body.

The driver's life should be saved.

Chen Ming then tied up the unconscious driver with chains and handcuffs made of liquid metal.

Then he retracted all the tentacles on his wrists into the shell wrist guards.

Chen Ming moved his wrist slightly.

He stood up and looked outside the cab door.

Then, it's time to see what the other people on the spacecraft are doing.

There was only one person in the cockpit of a spaceship with ten people on it, so the others couldn't have done nothing, right? And the pilot couldn't have stayed in the cockpit all the time, so there must be some traces left somewhere else on the spaceship.

However, Chen Mingxian opened the panel of the spacecraft again, allowing the three-dimensional image of the spacecraft to appear in front of him.

Just as Chen Ming was about to start investigating the spaceship from the panel, he suddenly heard the sound of a door being broken outside.

Someone was trying to open the driver's door.

Chen Ming immediately came to the door of the cab, unlocked the door and opened it.

At this time, outside the cab, there were four or five people each holding different tools, looking like they were ready to break in by force.

And when they saw the closed cab door suddenly open and a figure in power armor suddenly appeared, they were frightened and took a few steps back.

"What's going on? You...you are..."

The man standing in the front subconsciously raised the chainsaw-like tool in his hand, pointed at Chen Ming fearfully, and stammered out half a sentence.

Chen Ming saw confusion and anxiety in his and other people's eyes, and no other unnecessary emotions.

It seemed like they really had no idea what was going on in there.

Chen Ming opened the mask of his power armor and said, "Didn't the person who delivered the goods to me recognize me?"

"Mr. Chen Ming!"

The people present quickly put down their tools and said to Chen Ming, "We have been unable to enter the cab since five minutes ago. Lao Liu... uh, Liu Wei locked the door and refused to answer our calls."

As he spoke, the man in the front looked past Chen Ming and towards the inside of the cab.

When he saw Liu Wei lying on the ground and also saw the several syringes on the ground, he began to stutter again.

"Liu Wei... is he... is he..."

Chen Ming moved his feet slightly, completely blocking the sight of several people.

"Don't worry about him."

Chen Ming pointed at the man who had just spoken and said, "Go and call everyone on the boat over here. Wait here, don't run around, and cooperate with the investigation."

"Cooperate well, and this matter has nothing to do with you."

The man pointed at by Chen Ming nodded his head in fear and agreed, then quickly picked up the ship's communication equipment and began to contact people in other places on the spacecraft.

Chen Ming also walked out of the cab directly and closed the door.

He glanced around at the expressions of the people present again, then controlled the spacecraft to land near the location on the dome reserved for the cargo ships.

As usual, the dome staff came to prepare to receive the experimental materials.

However, they immediately received a message from Chen Ming, asking them to ignore the cargo ship.

Although the order was strange, the staff accepted it.

After completing all these preparations, Chen Ming still did not receive any contact from Bai Quan.

But he did wait for another person to contact him.

He had specially taken care of the researcher who first proposed to bring the mechanical race here to find Chen Ming when he was holding a remote meeting at the headquarters of the 14th Legion. The researcher seemed to be named Lu Kang.

He sent a message to Chen Ming through the contact information that Chen Ming left for his researchers: "Mr. Chen Ming, did you receive the video I sent?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and only then did he notice that the simulation had already started last night.

Lu Kang sent him a video.

And he hadn't seen it until now.

All I can say is that usually no one uses proper means to contact him.

After all, he is now inside the 14th Legion and cannot receive any communications from the outside.

If they wanted to contact him, several people Chen Ming knew had special terminals he gave them, so there was no need to use formal contact methods.

Bai Quan in the 14th Legion has always used the terminal given to him by Chen Ming as a normal contact method.

So under normal circumstances, no one would use the terminal to contact him, and he naturally wouldn't check it often.

As a result, this situation happened.

Lu Kang wouldn't be so idle as to contact him. This video might contain something important.

Chen Ming immediately downloaded the video which was about ten minutes long.

The video was sped up and started playing.

This video was recorded yesterday afternoon, after Chen Ming set out to participate in the simulation.

Lu Kang probably finished his dinner in the cafeteria, and went to the rooftop of the office building to relax with a glass bottle of some unknown drink in it.

Although Chen Ming arranged independent offices for researchers in the entire dome, the researchers usually stay in the laboratories or experimental buildings, and few come here.

So the whole building is usually quite deserted, and Lu Kang just found a deserted place to stay.

Moreover, Chen Ming could see several empty glass bottles in the corner of the rooftop, and it seemed that this was not his first time here.

Lu Kang leaned against the edge of the rooftop, took a sip of his drink, and suddenly began talking to himself.

"On April 9, 5602, Mr. Chen Ming's research on the Purgatory Core has been completed. Although I was only responsible for a very small part of it, I can still see from it how powerful the relics left by that civilization are and how high Mr. Chen Ming's technical level is."

"Today, Mr. Chen Ming also gave us a complete research report on the Purgatory Core for us to study, and gave us a day to rest."

"I have applied for the right to use an empty laboratory for a week. Tomorrow I will try to conduct research following Mr. Chen Ming's ideas."

Chen Ming could see that Lu Kang was writing a diary.

"It's a pity that I don't have the authority to apply for a Purgatory Core for research. I can only use a computer first..."

"Wait, what are those two doing?"

Lu Kang's soliloquy suddenly stopped.

He looked towards the corner next to the laboratory building, as if he noticed something.

He then picked up the terminal that was recording his information and turned to the bottom of the office building.

Behind the office building, two people were talking in a hidden corner of the square garden that had been renovated.

This location happens to be a blind spot for internal surveillance in the dome.

The dome's surveillance does not provide full coverage.

For example, there is no surveillance in any room in the dormitory building.

At the same time, there are some blind spots in monitoring of public areas.

Only the central laboratory and other laboratory buildings can ensure full coverage of monitoring without blind spots. After all, these two places are important.

Chen Ming knew this.

Originally he wanted to fill it in himself, but after Hu Yi assassinated him before, a company responsible for the security of the dome that had a cooperation with the Fourteenth Legion added a plan to block all the blind spots in the security plan of his dome.

Chen Ming just let the company handle it on their own.

Unexpectedly, before all the surveillance cameras were installed, someone was hiding in this place and chatting about something.

No matter who comes here, they can feel that something is wrong.

He waited until the two of them left for a long time before leaving the office building and returning to his dormitory.

Using the lip-reading tool I found, I was able to read the content of the conversation between the two people.

Although the two people talked for a long time, the most crucial content was only three sentences.

A ship carrying a sample of the Mechanoids will crash into the dome tomorrow.

What the two of them have to do is to make some misoperations to let the mechanical race escape.

At the same time, use the shelter under the central laboratory to lock all the rest of the people outside.

So Lu Kang sent the video directly to Chen Ming at that time, and also included the content read from the lip reading.

Chen Ming really didn't expect that such a situation would actually happen.

Fortunately, he came back at the right time, otherwise he would have regretted for a while for not checking the terminal more often.

But fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction.

Chen Ming immediately found the two people through the information of all the staff members he had and their appearance in the video.

One of them is a professional cleaning staff hired by the 14th Corps. He not only cleans the toilets, but is also responsible for cleaning the laboratories and some sterile rooms in the laboratories.

Although researchers can take care of cleaning themselves, it would definitely be more convenient if someone dedicated to it is there.

The other person was also an outsourced employee from the company that designed the dome security system and was also responsible for installing the new surveillance.

No wonder they can directly find places to chat where surveillance has not been installed yet.

It seems that Chen Ming has to think about the safety of the dome and he will be fully responsible for it.

Originally, this company was only responsible for the maintenance of the dome's security system. With them around, Chen Ming could pay attention to the status of the security system only once in a long time.

But even without them, the worst that could happen to Chen Ming would be maintaining the security system once a week, and using psychic power to repair it once would not be a big deal.

If it doesn't work, replace it.

Chen Ming silently gave this security company a cross in his mind.

Then he found the two people who had talked last night in the dome. Within the coverage of his psychic energy, the whereabouts of everyone under the dome were under his control.

At this point in time, seeing the transport machinery clan's spaceship land safely, the two of them might have become a little anxious.

Chen Ming did not waste any time and directly took over the access control system and security system to prevent them from escaping.

Immediately afterwards, under his control, a large amount of liquid metal suddenly appeared under the feet of the two people who seemed to be completely fine on the surface.

It restricted their movements like chains, dragging them to the square outside the laboratory amidst the shocked gazes of those around them who could not understand.

The iconic thing like liquid metal immediately made it clear to everyone who saw this scene that it was Chen Ming who did it.

So they immediately followed and quickly spread the news throughout the dome, which had less than a hundred people in total.

And as the crowd gradually gathered in the square.

The two people who were dragged away by the metallic liquid had been tied up in the center of the square.

Chen Ming, wearing a power armor, stood beside them.

The security guard kept his head down and remained silent, while the cleaning lady kept muttering something, her expression pious yet a little crazy.

Chen Ming listened for a while and found that what he was chanting was the teachings of the Luddite Church.

Chen Ming had previously specifically looked up information about the Luddite Church, the source of Zuo Jing, and just happened to know this.

However, there are some deviations between the doctrines he is chanting now and the doctrines of the church itself. Obviously, these deviations are Zuo Jing's modifications to the doctrines of the church itself.

That basically confirms that the left path has not been taken.

The cleaning lady suddenly raised her head with a fierce look and looked at Chen Ming as if she saw the murderer of her father.

"It's too late for you to catch me now. The Light of Lud will soon appear in this blasphemous dome..."

"Is this what you are talking about?"

Before the cleaning lady could finish her words, some metallic liquid suddenly condensed in the center of Chen Ming's palm. After it dissipated, several bundles of crudely made handmade explosives were revealed.

"Is this the Light of Lud that you mentioned? The explosion is the Light of Lud?"

Chen Ming sneered.

Several bundles of explosives instantly decomposed into the most basic materials in Chen Ming's palm.

The cleaning lady's originally crazy voice seemed to be suddenly muted, and the look she gave Chen Ming was filled with fear and hatred.

"Blasphemer..."

Chen Ming slapped the cleaning lady in the face. He knew that someone was about to cause trouble, so how could he not investigate the dormitory of the person who was causing trouble?

Although there were no surveillance cameras in the dormitory, since the entire dome was under his control, he knew exactly what was in every location inside the dome.

Chen Ming took a piece of disassembled cloth and stuffed it into his mouth as he cursed himself quietly.

Then he looked at the security guard who was keeping his head down and remained silent and said, "What's wrong with you? Have you also been infected with the left path?"

"No, it's just that I really need money, so..."

"Lack of money?"

Chen Ming knew that the monthly maintenance costs of his dome's security system were not low.

"Doesn't your company make a lot of money? You should be considered an expatriate in a place like this. How much money do you make?"

The security guard still lowered his head and said, "It's not enough. My mother needs surgery and needs a lot of money. I have been trying to find someone to borrow from, but the gap is too big and the hospital is pressing for money. I can't do anything."

"Then he came to me and told me to deliberately make a mistake when a spacecraft hits the dome tomorrow and hide underground with me."

"Then I agreed, but I planned to take the people from Zuojing with me to die outside."

The security guard raised his head and said this, his eyes were a little dim, but full of sincerity.

"I bought myself a life insurance policy. You can check it, Mr. Chen Ming."

"As long as I die, my mother can rely on the three million I got from Zuo Jing and the seven million from insurance to pay for the surgery, and also the money I borrowed from the bank during this period."

"I've found a place where Zuo Jing hasn't appeared in the past ten years. As long as my mother can take the money and hide there for a few years, Zuo Jing won't be able to find them."

Chen Ming frowned slightly, picked up the terminal and checked the security guard's background based on his identity.

Although he is now under the military system, there are some connections between the military system and the police system.

Even though this was a bit against the rules, Chen Ming still used this authority to investigate the security guard's identity.

Then, he saw the news which made him stunned for the first time.

Chen Ming frowned, and after watching for a few minutes, he suddenly looked at the security guard with sympathy and asked, "How long... have you not been home?"

"About six or seven years. My mother, my wife and my younger brother are taking care of me at home."

"Well... there is some bad news."

"Your mother died about three years ago from complications caused by a cold."

The security guard stood there in a daze for a second, and suddenly tried desperately to break free from the metal liquid restraints on his body, and yelled at Chen Ming: "What did you say?"

His struggle was obviously useless, but Chen Ming also retrieved the records on the terminal and placed the terminal screen in front of the security guard.

"Look for yourself. This is an autopsy report. You are a security guard, so you should be able to understand it, right?"

"The cause of death according to the report was a basic cold, but due to long-term untreated illness, the elderly man's poor health eventually led to his death."

“Impossible… Impossible…”

The security guard's voice was trembling, but the photo of the corpse was indeed his mother.

He repeated the word "impossible" as his beating heart gradually sank and tears slowly welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"That's impossible. My mother is very open-minded. She will tell me if there is anything important at the first time."

"She has no source of income, and I give her all her money. She clearly accounts for every penny she spends from me, saying that she owes me."

"If she caught a cold, she would definitely go to the hospital immediately and would definitely tell me after spending the money. It's impossible for her to die from the illness... Impossible..."

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..."

Chen Ming reached out and pushed the security guard who couldn't accept the reality and said, "Then you have to ask your brother and your wife what they are doing."

"Why are you still able to contact your mother when she's been gone for three years? Someone must be lying to you."

"According to my investigation...it may sound a little harsh, but your mother's body was not taken to the hospital by your brother and wife."

"It was your neighbor who found the body, otherwise why would there be this autopsy report?"

"And I suddenly wondered, why didn't your mother even treat her cold?"

"With today's medical technology, even if someone goes to the hospital lying down, they can walk back standing up."

"Even if your mom wants to save money for you and wants you to take your time to treat it, the medicine for a cold only costs a dozen yuan, which may not be as much as a meal."

"You earn 30,000 a month, right? And you send 20,000 home every month, why don't you get treatment?"

"The autopsy report showed that your mother had no leg injuries or other symptoms that limited her mobility. She never had any problems like Alzheimer's before. It can only be that someone restrained her."

Following Chen Ming's suspicion, the security guard thought of his wife and brother, but he didn't dare to speak.

But Chen Ming was thinking about more than just these two people.

"It would be easier for the old man to get more money from you if he were still alive. It's impossible for a cold to be incurable."

"Unless... Left Path."

Chen Ming suddenly kicked the cleaning lady who was staring at him with hatred.

"Zuo Jing is extremely disgusted with modern technology. If your brother and wife believed in Zuo Jing, everything would make sense."

"How do you think Zuo Jing knew you needed money?"

"I just checked your capital flow. You have only borrowed money from a bank, and it is a bank in your hometown."

"Obviously you were worried that your colleagues would find out about this, so you never told anyone else about it, but Zuo Jing found out."

"And just so happens that the made-up hospital said your mother urgently needed a large sum of money for surgery. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Also, let me tell you something. Your brother and wife are currently considered missing persons. Do you think they have become Zuo Jing, or is Zuo Jing speaking to you through their mouths?"

Tears streamed down Anbao's bitter face, but he suddenly laughed: "Ha...hahahaha...Zuo Jing...I'm such a fucking joke."

"I should... this is how my life will be... Mom..."

Chen Ming untied his restraints, but he suddenly fell to his knees, curled up on the ground, crying helplessly and silently.

The security guard looked to be in his forties. This scene made Chen Ming feel distressed, so he could only raise his head and not look at him.

However, Chen Ming suddenly took a deep breath and said to the dozens of people who were also watching in silence, "Let me say this first. Many of you who are here are not short of money because you can work in a place like this."

"But if something unexpected really happens... come to me. I have the ability and connections."

"As long as it's reasonable, I can help you solve it."

"I don't want to see this happen again."

"Okay, let's go our separate ways."

"Don't bother dealing with this later."

As Chen Ming finished his words, he saw a legion's spaceship about to land outside the dome.
