The whole empire is bringing us together

Chapter 78

White was shocked, his body froze immediately, and he didn't dare to move: "Sir, what are you doing?!"

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Hyperion's eyes signaled Kun Tei to get too close, and he looked at the panicked White with a blank expression: "When did you collude with the Zerg?"

White's voice trembled: "What are you talking about? Zerg? I've never even seen them before that slug just now. How could there be any collusion with Zerg! Sir, are you making a mistake?"

Hyperion moved the muzzle of the gun up White's round body, and finally pointed it at his temple: "You should be involved in the matter of Buick Town, use the authority of the administrator to tamper with the surveillance in the town, so that The Zerg took people away without anyone noticing."

"Sir, I don't understand...Ah!" White's eyes fluttered around, and Hyperion kicked his knee against his abdomen as a warning, screaming in pain.

The narrow alley made it easier for Hyperion to move. He forced White against the wall and continued to ask: "Don't talk nonsense with me, where did you get Sherwood and the people in the town?"

White didn't seem to hear his question at all, and shouted at the throat: "You are not Nelson! Who are you, dare to impersonate him!"

He hoped to attract people from the outside, but he didn't know that Quint had already invaded the city system and set up a red cordon at the entrance of the alley. Even if someone heard the sound, they would just probe in and take a look.

"Didn't you know who I am when you killed the Pope?" Hyperion raised the corners of his lips, and was satisfied to see that White's eyeballs quickly became bloodshot and red because of his words, and he let out a sound that is absolutely impossible for a human being. hissing.

Quint was shocked and couldn't help taking a step back.At the same moment, Hyperion pulled the trigger, and the red laser beam passed through White's swollen head. After a second of stillness, his head exploded completely, and the gray-black brain matter sprayed from the air.

Quint subconsciously turned his face away and closed his eyes to hide. It is true that he had served as a soldier, but he was only limited to providing technical support in the ship. It was the first time he saw a murder with his own eyes.But soon he realized something was wrong, quickly opened his eyes, and paid close attention to White's "corpse".

A black worm the size of a palm crawled out from his cervical spine. It was half a meter long and was attached to White's spine before. Hundreds of thin legs connected to nerves controlled White's entire body central system.It was covered in flesh and blood, and opened the eight pairs of transparent wings behind it. It was about to escape, but Hyperion shot and hit its head accurately.

The entire flat head of the worm was crushed, and it sprayed out dark green mucus, but it still managed to fly up, crooked and quickly fled towards the sky. Hyperion shot its torso again, and its half-meter-long body It broke into two sections from the middle, and fell to the ground one after another.

Even though the worm was not completely dead, it kept struggling to shake its wings. Hyperion stepped on it and crushed it heavily——

This is completely dead.

Upstairs, a woman who was watering the flowers heard the continuous gunshots and looked suspiciously, but the alley was too narrow, and the raised balconies on both sides blocked her view, so she could only see a very small line something black and red.

The woman frowned and continued watering the flowers.

While doing all this, Hyperion didn't even change the tight curve of the corners of his lips. He was as cold and stern as an unsheathed blade. The most terrifying thing about the Zerg was the huge number. If he fought alone, he would not be afraid at all. .

Quint resisted the nausea in his stomach and asked, "...What is this?"

"Shadow worms, Zerg that can parasitize in the human body." Hyperion took out gloves from his pocket, put them on, and knelt down to examine White's body: "When it first entered the human body, it was only a little bit the size of a grain of rice. The blood circulation travels to the spine, where it adheres to, and gradually grows and grows. This one has been around for five or six years."

Quint had heard the name of the Phantom Worm before, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. He was shocked and said, "General Morstan was parasitized by this thing?"

"Correct."

Quint knew that in the eighth month of the expedition, General Morstan was killed by Hyperion due to the parasitic mutiny of the shadow worm, so he couldn't help asking: "That's how you freed General Morstan... ?"

Hyperion glanced at him, and the word "liberation" suddenly touched the place in his heart that had been sealed for a long time. Back then, he blamed himself for this for a long time, but in the end it was this word that finally made him feel relieved.He hummed, and said, "I really had no choice at that time. People who are parasitized by the shadow worms have only this way to go."

Quint walked over to hug him, comforted him with a warm embrace, kissed the side of his face, and asked in a low voice, "Now White is dead, what should we do?"

Hyperion pressed White's stomach, confirmed that he was not like the Pope at that time, and there were no other parasitic Zerg in him, and stood up: "Go straight to the army brought by Sherwood. I need someone to take over him. It won't be long. It will be discovered here, and there will be another riot at that time, our two strengths are limited after all, we must have soldiers in our hands."

Quint nodded in conviction: "The place where the army is stationed is not far away. Let's rent an unmanned aerial vehicle. Then we need to restore our identity."

"Depending on the situation, I have the secret order of the military department and the badge of the Morse family in my hand, which can directly prove my identity." Hyperion took off his gloves and was still beside White's body, looking down at his broken body, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes : "He is a very good administrator, and I will submit a pension application to the military for his family."

Quint agreed, and followed Hyperion quickly to the other side of the alley. After two steps, he felt his legs were weak and he couldn't use his strength, and his eyes gradually blurred.

"Wait, Hein, I'm a little dizzy..." Quint said with a frown covering his head.However, before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell straight into the arms of Hyperion who turned around after hearing the words.

not good!Hyperion let out a secret cry, and also realized the abnormality. Before he had the next thought in his mind, he lost all strength in the hand holding Quint, and was so dizzy that he couldn't see anything.Two two-meter-long pink slugs appeared out of nowhere behind him, and their soft tentacles wrapped around his and Quint's wrists respectively.

In the next moment, distorted ripples appeared in the space in the alley, and the figures of the two people and the two insects disappeared without leaving any traces, only White's body lying quietly on the ground.

A small red bug crawled out of his mouth, the size of a soybean. It crawled over the corpse of the shadow bug next to it, opened its mouth and took a bite, and flew away with shaking wings.

Ten seconds later, the two sections of the ghost worm's body quickly decayed, and finally turned into a pool of corpse water, seeping into the cracks in the stone floor.

After a long time, the woman watering the flowers upstairs finally realized what she had just seen. The kettle in her hand fell to the ground, and she screamed uncontrollably.

at the same time.Capital Star, Palace, twelve-thirty midnight.

Connor walked on the corridor of the palace, with his arms slightly raised, softly coaxing the daughter in his arms.The little guy was very difficult to deal with, and he had to be coaxed by Connor before he would fall asleep. Even Hanselton refused to hold him, and cried when he held him.

The child is three months old, and is no longer as wrinkled as when he was just born, and is very cute.Connor gently wiped the drool from her small mouth with a handkerchief, walked past Hansenton's study, saw that the door was not closed tightly, opened the door and took a look inside.

Hanselton turned on the holographic projection in the study and was having an emergency meeting with everyone in the military department.Feeling that the mother stopped shaking him, the sleeping baby frowned and began to cry.

Hanselton heard the sound and looked over, with tenderness unconsciously showing on his serious face, Connor waved his hand at him to signal that he didn't care, closed the door for him and continued to go to the corridor to put the child to sleep.

Inside the door, Hansenton looked at the projection again, and ordered in a deep voice: "According to the news from Hyperion, the Zerg has infiltrated the entire Agareth, and the situation is urgent. I order the Seventh Legion to end immediately Temporary vacation, with the Ilia as the main ship, rush to Agares, the Dawn is on standby in the earth-moon orbit, and the Antugaso is speeding up the final test, waiting for orders at any time!"

The baby kept crying and couldn't stop no matter how much he coaxed him. Connor's body hadn't fully recovered, and he was sweating from exhaustion. The maid couldn't stand it and wanted to help hug the baby, but Connor politely refused.

Connor looked worriedly at the full moon in the night sky outside the window, lowered his head and kissed his daughter's cheek, and murmured:

"Do you also know that it's not going to be peaceful?"

Hyperion opened his eyes, his eyes were blurred, he closed them again, mobilized his emotions to force some tears to moisten his eyes, and he could see clearly when he opened them again.

On top of his head is a circular thing full of hollows like a honeycomb. In each circular hole there are three or two translucent eggs, and something is faintly wriggling in the eggs.Hyperion stared at it for three seconds, then sat up abruptly, recognizing that it was the hive of the Zerg.

His limbs were still a little weak, Hyperion didn't act rashly, he quickly looked around, it was a cave where organic matter spread out, the overall color was dark red, there were three hives for hatching larvae, two were on the ground One was overhead, and he was lying on the tangle of creep.With him are the fresh carcasses of countless other animals, which will serve as the first food for the hatchlings.

He observed the shape of the larvae in the eggs, guessing that it would be some time before the first batch of larvae hatched, so he seized the time to stand up and explore the surroundings, looking for Quint from the pile of bones.

The last thing he remembered was Quint lying in his arms. If there were no accidents, the two of them should be together now.

But Hyperion searched twice, even turned over the surface of the creep, but found nothing.

There were quite a few humans in the corpse, with animalistic features. It seemed that they were the missing residents of Buick Town. Hyperion also found an imperial soldier in combat uniform. His entire face was bloody and bloody, and he couldn't see clearly.He removed the nameplate from the soldier's neck, put it in his breast pocket, and carried it with him as a relic, and if he could go back, he would give it to the soldier's family.

Everything on Hyperion is still there. He and Quint had opened the location authority to each other before. Hyperion turned on the terminal to try to check Quint’s location, but found that the signal from Quint’s terminal had disappeared.

His heart sank suddenly.

Judging from what happened to Quint last night, the target of the Zerg should be Quint, and he was just picked up by the way.

But what did they want Quint for?

Hyperion took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.At this time, an egg trembled violently, and the larva inside tried to shake its head, trying to get out.Seeing that the hatching was about to be completed, Hyperion didn't delay any longer, turned the Leviathan's space button on, held the gun tightly in his hand, and left the hive as soon as possible.
