When the black phosphorus ore appeared, Zhou Xu was looking through the experimental data.
The initial abnormality came from the mutant laboratory mice used as research subjects.
The experimental mouse locked in the transparent experimental box changed from its usual quiet curled up state to stretching out its sharp claws and began to scratch the wall of the box frantically.
The sharp claws rubbed violently against the wall of the box, making a sharp crackling sound.
It seemed to be trying to escape.
Zhou Xu's attention was drawn to it. Just as he was about to study it carefully, he saw the experimental mouse's body shape suddenly change, and it enlarged three or four times in an instant.
As its body grew rapidly, the experimental mouse's fur gradually receded, revealing the shiny black shell inside.
...Transformed?!
After realizing this, Zhou Xu was about to call the Chengying Legion team on the starship, when he saw the experimental mouse, which was still swelling, roll its eyes, kick its legs, and die on the spot.
The transformation was also forced to press the pause button, which directly caused the body of the experimental mouse to appear half insect and half mouse, which looked indescribably weird.
Zhou Xu leaned in closer to take a closer look and guessed that it died because it could not withstand the complete Zerg genes.
But the question is, why did it suddenly change?
Zhou Xu never fed it water from planet C-098.
Just when Zhou Xu was puzzled, he received a message from Fu Qin.
[Your father: We found black phosphorus ore. Where are you? I'll bring a piece over for you to see.]
After Zhou Xu glanced at the message, he immediately raised his head and looked at the dead body of the experimental mouse in the experimental box.
The question just now seems to have an answer.
Zhou Xu immediately replied to Fu Qin.
[No hope: [location]]
[No hope: Come quickly, there's a new discovery.]
As soon as Zhou Xu sent the message, the starship suddenly shook violently.
The impact was so great that many test tubes on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The liquid inside even spilled all over the floor.
Zhou Xu held onto the edge of the table, barely able to stand, and immediately dialed the intercom on the starship. "What's going on?"
The voice on the other end sounded a little unsteady. "Sorry to disturb you. There seems to have been an explosion in Lab 205. We've sent someone over to investigate."
Zhou Xu frowned when he heard this.
Room 205 is where the Zerg mutants are imprisoned.
Zhou Xu's eyes swept over the body of the experimental mouse again, and he had a bad feeling for a moment.
He immediately turned on the surveillance camera and tuned to the channel of Room 205.
The surveillance footage of Room 205 instantly appeared in front of Zhou Xu.
But unexpectedly, there were no mutants in the picture, and not even a laboratory background.
Occupying the entire screen are square black grids, densely packed together and seemingly glowing.
What's blocking the surveillance?
This was Zhou Xu’s first reaction.
The next moment, Zhou Xu suddenly understood, took a deep breath and subconsciously took several steps back.
That is not a black grid at all, but the compound eyes of the Zerg.
Zhou Xu knew that it was impossible for the other party to see him through the surveillance camera, but he still felt a chill on his spine, always feeling that the other party was also staring at him.
After "looking at each other" for a few seconds, the compound eyes slowly retreated, and part of the Zerg's body gradually appeared in the surveillance.
really……
It seems that it is also affected by the black phosphorus ore.
Then, there was another violent shaking.
The Zerg in Room 205 began to attack the walls, trying to break out of the starship.
This Zerg looked more ferocious than the previous two, and each time it charged it could create a big hole in the wall.
With this force, the wall won't be able to hold on for long.
Zhou Xu quickly dialed the internal line again: "Tell the people in the Chengying Corps to prepare, the mutants in Room 205 have transformed into Zerg and are about to rush out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zerg in the picture raised its forelimbs and smashed hard at the big hole in the wall, finally cutting a hole in the already thin wall.
"It's coming out! Stop it! Don't let it run towards the camp!" Zhou Xu shouted.
The people on the other side had never heard Zhou Xu speak in such a roaring voice, and hurriedly contacted the people of Chengying Legion according to his instructions.
In Room 205, the Zerg, seeing hope, rushed towards the wall again, expanding the hole.
After four or five consecutive collisions, the Zerg in the laboratory barely squeezed out of the hole and fell directly from a high altitude, hitting the ground and creating several cracks in the ground.
It seemed to be unaware of the pain. After landing, it immediately got up, flapped its wings, and flew towards the camp as Zhou Xu had guessed.
There is what attracts it most: the black phosphorus ore vein.
Zhou Xu didn't know how much black phosphorus ore was contained in this vein hidden underground in the C-098 planet, but he knew that he must not let the Zerg get close to it!
Once the Zerg absorbs all the energy in the black phosphorus veins and their abilities skyrocket, they may all be finished.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu urgently contacted No. 006 and asked her to send more people over as soon as possible.
At the same time, all seven members of the Chengying Legion in the starship rushed out and flew towards the Zerg in their mechas.
Several mechas fired at the Zerg, trying to stop them.
But the Zerg had thick skin and flesh, and after a few attacks, the wounds were inflicted faster than they healed.
Seeing that the Zerg were getting closer to their base, the seven of them became anxious, so they spared no effort and used all their special skills on the Zerg.
It was somewhat useful this time, as the Zerg moved much slower.
Before they could rejoice, they were attacked by a sudden pain. It felt like there was a needle in their head, causing them unbearable pain and making them completely unable to move.
This caused the seven mechas to lose control and fall straight down.
Zhou Xu, who had been closely following the battle, immediately asked in the channel, "What's wrong with you?"
After a while, only one person in the channel responded to Zhou Xu, his voice weak, "Doctor Zhou... it just launched a mental attack on us. I tried to resist, but failed. Its mental power may have reached SSS."
The respondent's mental power is SS, and even he can't resist it, which means that the mental power of this Zerg is above his.
A Zerg whose mental power has reached SSS? !
Zhou Xu looked surprised.
Logically speaking, its level when it was a mutant was similar to that of its companions, and its level after transformation would not be much different from that of its companions, so how could there be SSS?
Could it be the influence of the black phosphorus ore?
If its mental power is really SSS, then there is only one person left who can deal with it.
Zhou Xu called Fu Qin.
Fu Qin was about to pick it up when he saw the Zerg coming towards him.
She launched an attack faster than she could answer the phone.
The thread quickly penetrated the Zerg's body. Fu Qin pulled it back with force and answered the phone at the same time. "If you mean the Zerg escaped, then I think I have seen it."
As the thin thread was retracted smoothly, the Zerg's wings were instantly cut in half, and its huge body fell straight to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhou Xu's voice also rang in Fu Qin's ears: "Stop it! Don't let it get close to the black phosphorus vein!"
"Don't worry, I will." Fu Qin said, driving Bai Hao to dive towards the Zerg.
After knowing that Fu Qin had arrived, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was not as anxious as before, "Be careful, its mental strength is SSS, and its physical strength is much higher than the previous Zerg."
"SSS?" Fu Qin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that.
While the two were talking, the Zerg's torso had reconnected, and it flapped its wings, trying to fly towards the black phosphorus mine again.
Fu Qin attacked without hesitation, cutting it into pieces once again.
The Zerg's limbs fell to the ground one after another, and green sticky liquid flowed out, actually flowing towards the direction of the black phosphorus mine.
While flowing forward, he was recovering his body.
By the time the Zerg's body had fully recovered, it had moved forward another hundred meters.
Fu Qin was shocked by its obsession with black phosphorus ore.
After chopping the Zerg into pieces several times, it was getting closer and closer to the mine.
"No, this thing is still crawling forward even after being cut into pieces." Fu Qin said to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu glanced at the time. No. 006 and the others should be arriving soon. "Don't you have a piece of black phosphorus ore there? See if you can attract its attention and lead it in the opposite direction."
"Okay, I'll try." Fu Qin said, taking out the black phosphorus ore from the earring space.
Before she could figure out how to attract the Zerg's attention, they had already keenly discovered the existence of the black phosphorus ore and became increasingly agitated.
Upon seeing this, Fu Qin immediately flew in the opposite direction of the black phosphorus vein.
But the Zerg wasn't fooled at all.
On one side is a small piece of black phosphorus ore, and on the other side is an entire vein of ore. It is obvious which one is more valuable.
It even took advantage of the fact that no one was stopping it and ran away for several hundred meters.
Fu Qin had no choice but to fly back and stop the Zerg from moving forward again.
Soon, No. 006 appeared with a team of people.
After everyone concentrated their firepower and launched a fierce attack, they finally defeated the Zerg.
Fu Qin stood by and waited for a long time. After making sure that it would not get up again, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xu's starship quickly arrived in the nearby sky, and the big hole on it looked particularly abrupt and conspicuous.
You can tell at a glance where the Zerg came from.
Fu Qin couldn't help but ask, "A tube that can withstand the full force of an SSS star beast? A laboratory comparable to a weapons depot? That's it?"
Zhou Xu on the other end was choked for a moment, and after a long pause he replied, "This was an accident."
As the starship landed, Zhou Xu walked out and came to the Zerg corpse with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Fu Qin also put away his mecha and came to his side, "So what's going on?"
Zhou Xu thought for a moment, then recounted everything he had witnessed. He concluded, "It seems the black phosphate ore is even more attractive to the Zerg than we thought. It can even rapidly boost their combat power. This is basically the reason why mutants transform into Zerg."
After listening to this, Fu Qin said, "Then isn't Planet C-098 very dangerous?"
After all, there is an entire black phosphorus vein here. Once other Zerg mutants know about it, they may rush here in succession to gain power.
"Yes," Zhou Xu nodded, "It is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
Zhou Xu pushed up his glasses, a shrewd look flashing across his eyes. "An opportunity to set a trap and wait for the rabbit."
