Chapter 259
A central hall has been built at the location of the Dead Egg Pit. The aircraft is parked on the open space outside the central hall. You can directly enter the central hall and take the elevator down.
Qi Xi seemed very excited along the way.
Whether it was flying vehicles or buildings on the ground, all of this was something he had never seen before.
Qi Heng took them and never went through the main gate.
The survey of the gathering place has not yet been completed, and the blood sampling work is still going on. There are still many female insects in the hall undergoing testing and registration.
Entering through the side door will not attract the attention of other Zergs.
Before getting off the aircraft, he told Qi Xi to be quiet and not disturb other insects.
Qi Xi was also very well behaved. He remained quiet and didn't say a word before entering the elevator.
But, it can only last for so long.
"Father Xiong, this place and the dungeon seem different from before." Qi Xi couldn't hide his curiosity as he touched the metal wall and the numbers that kept jumping.
To him, the dungeon was the new home, and the place they had lived in before was the old home.
Now he is following his female and male fathers to visit his old home and his brother.
Although he was still young, he knew that he had never seen these things when he left his old home, and this place was more similar to his new home.
Chu Xiu had seen relevant information when he was doing paperwork, but he was still a little surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.
The changes you read about in documents are always different from those you see with your own eyes.
There is a sense of accomplishment.
"Maybe I should go out more often." Chu Xiu thought.
"I've been staying in the underground city all this time, and I'm unaware of the changes on the surface."
In fact, he was not completely unaware of it. Chu Xiu was involved in all the related matters.
“There will be more changes in the future, but it will only be for the better.”
"When the harsh winter is over and you feel better, it would be helpful to go out for a walk more often."
Qi Heng thought about the future arrangements and said, "There are still many places that need you."
"Yeah." Chu Xiu nodded.
underground.
The area where the explosion collapsed was left with only the underground part of the building. Qi Lan had been waiting for them since he knew they were coming to see him.
Although we can contact each other through the optical computer and have video chats, I haven't seen Qi Xi since we were really close.
Qi Lan rolled over on the platform that had been expanded and made wider. The platform was covered with a thick layer of fluff, like a thick layer of cotton.
Not only does it not feel cold, it is also very soft.
Compared with his original body, Qi Lan's body is now much larger. When he stands upright, he is nearly ten meters tall, and when he lies there, he looks like a small mountain.
The original Zerg was produced non-stop, and the increasing number made its size expand like a balloon.
Qi Lan didn't think there was anything wrong.
In its memory, its original size was once even larger - it had never been smaller.
Next to the main body, a silk cocoon broke open, and a pure white insect about 50 centimeters tall emerged from the cricket pupa.
This one looks very similar to He Qilan's original form. At first glance, you might think it is its original form, but if you look closely, you will find the difference.
The golden lines on his body were lighter, and his eyes were not the original dark purple, but also slightly lighter.
The thin wings on its back were still stained with some colorless liquid.
I saw it stand up straight and shake the wings on its back slightly. The wings then stretched out little by little, and finally dried and took shape like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
The pure white wings have faint golden lines interspersed among them, which are very similar to the lines on its body.
But that little bit of gold is not as good as its real body. Its real body's wings are more beautiful. Even in the dark, you can see the fragmented golden light that looks like sunlight.
Qi Lan stood upright, dried the wings on his back, and then folded them up and let them hang down at his sides.
Its forelimbs are slightly short, but this does not prevent it from using them, and the two pairs of hind limbs hidden under its abdomen are sufficient to support its movement.
As its body grows, its mental strength is recovering to its peak. Now it can take care of its main body while also allocating some of its mental strength to the newly conceived clone.
Basically, when using it, except that this body does not have the ability of the original body, other abilities are basically unaffected.
The energy was still not enough, and Qi Lan was actually still somewhat dissatisfied with his current state. Although it had always been like this, it now wanted more.
Rather than staying here alone and spending every day chatting online, it would rather stay with its father and younger brother.
To achieve this goal, it constantly adjusts its clone, first making it closer to the original body, and then gradually making the clone's appearance closer to that of the Tianjia Zerg.
The Tianjia Zerg and the original Zerg have a common origin, so it is not completely impossible for it to change its appearance.
The body's mental power covers the entire underground. The numerous passages dug by the original Zerg are all under the coverage of its mental power, and the blue-tailed butterflies living everywhere are the extension of its mental power.
The main body stays underground, but its perception range is very wide.
If it wanted to, it could even use its mental power to penetrate the layers of barriers above and go to the ground to "see" the busy Zerg coming and going in the central hall.
With such ability, when Qi Heng and his companions arrived at the passage of the underground base, it discovered it immediately.
It has been a long time since I last saw my father. After sensing the spiritual power of my father, Qi Lan became energetic.
It leaped five or six meters on its hind legs, jumped down from the high platform in a few steps, and ran towards the entrance.
As Qi Hengren arrived at the entrance to the underground space where Qi Lan was, he saw Chu Xiu, who was originally walking beside him, standing in front of him.
"how……"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Qi Lan being held by Chu Xiu's neck and lifted up in mid-air, waiting to be kicked.
Don't ask him why he could recognize it. Although it was a little different, he was very sure that this was Qi Lan.
Chubby, just like when they first met.
“Ah QAQ——”
Qi Lan, who was held in Chu Xiu's hand, cried out in grievance, howled twice, and spoke to him haltingly as if he was just learning to speak.
"Xiong, Xiong father, he grabbed... grabbed me so hard...it hurts."
A sentence consists of only a few words, but it takes a lot of effort to say it.
The vocal system of this clone was modeled after the vocal organs of the Tianjia Zerg. Although the differentiated organs were fine, they were still not very smooth to use.
“…” The talking fat bug was such a surprise.
Chu Xiu explained: "If I hadn't caught you, you would have almost collided with us just now."
"No...I wouldn't. I'm so young." Qi Lan learned to speak very quickly, and his second sentence was much smoother.
"Hero father will catch me."
Qi Heng looked at the shrunken Qi Lan and patted Chu Xiu on the shoulder. "Put him down. He probably just wants to give us a surprise."
Chu Xiu let go of his hand.
Qi Lan fell to the ground, rolled his eyes at Chu Xiu, and crawled quickly to his legs.
"Father Xiong, stick with me."
He stretched out his hand, bent down and rubbed Fatty Bug's head with a smile.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Well, the feel is the same.
"Don't be angry, Chu Xiu didn't mean it."
Chu Xiu was just overly protective, so when he noticed something coming towards him, he immediately stood in front of him to stop it.
"He also brought you food, huh." He raised the last 'huh'.
Qi Xi, who was holding his hand, had been staring at Qi Lan since just now, "Brother, you have become smaller, now you are the same size as me."
Qi Xi raised one hand and placed it on his own and Qi Lan's heads, then let go of his hand and went up to give Qi Lan a hug.
The size is just right, and the two cubs can rub against each other.
"Brother, do you miss me? Xizi misses you very much."
Qi Lan struggled as he was hugged face to face. "Didn't I just video chat with you yesterday?"
"no the same--"
Qi Xi released his hand and gestured, "It was that big in the video, but now it's the same size as me."
He and Chu Xiu were standing one in front and one behind, with the two kids holding hands in the middle. If you ignore Qi Lan's appearance, which didn't look like a human at all, it was still quite heartwarming.
They walked inside.
Qi Heng hadn't been here for a while. Since there was nothing special to come here for, he didn't know that the originally empty underground space had become very cramped during this period.
There is not enough light in the underground space. The light emitted by the fireflies and fungal mats is very weak. The only energy lamps that can provide normal lighting are those brought specially.
Qi Lan usually doesn't need it, so he throws it in the corner.
When they came today, I remembered that there was an energy lamp. I found it and turned it on. The light was a little dazzling for a moment, and it took a while to get used to it.
At the same time, Qi Heng also saw clearly how many things were piled here.
They are all energy minerals, placed together according to their purity levels. In addition, there are many refined metal minerals.
The former is food that provides energy for Qi Lan when producing the original Zerg, and the latter is a snack that is needed when producing special tool insects.
In the end, what he saw was Qi Lan's real body, which did not stop even though they had come, but continued to devour energy mines and continuously produce the original Zerg.
On the side of its body there are some tool worms responsible for transporting the larvae. These larvae are wrapped in a transparent membrane and look like slightly larger rice grains.
They remain in this dormant state until awakened.
The larvae that are sent away will be placed in the drawers of the delivered metal box. Finally, a piece of energy ore of appropriate size will be placed in each box, and then they will be sent to the cocoon room specially set up in the dungeon to store these larvae.
Based on the energy consumption of the larvae in their dormant state, an energy mine the size of a fist can keep them alive for thirty years.
Chu Xiu opened the box he brought, and inside were steaming pancakes.
They made a simple set of table and chairs out of metal ore, and the four of them sat down.
He picked up Qi Lan and put her on his lap. He picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it to Qi Lan's mouth. "Try it and see if you like it."
"Brother, come and eat. This is delicious." Qi Xi, who was sitting on Chu Xiu's lap, was very enthusiastic. "We'll eat it all."
Qi Heng had complicated feelings towards Qi Lan at first.
After all, Qi Lan's appearance makes it difficult to regard it as the same existence as Qi Xi. When playing games, he has always been used as a tool bug. After traveling through time, I know that it also has emotions, likes and dislikes.
In terms of attitude towards himself, Qi Lan is almost no different from Qi Xi.
"Okay." Qi Lan took a bite.
This body could eat normally. The Primordial Zerg could eat anything and digest it completely. However, for them, and Qi Lan, nothing could satisfy their fullness as directly eating energy ore.
