133. Chapter 133
After the test results came out, Ruan Shiqing went to Garland's laboratory again to do a full set of strength tests.
The test results showed that, apart from the fact that his physical functions were better before, he did not increase much in terms of strength-according to Garland's conjecture, he woke up in a coma, regardless of his appearance. Or the inner function has changed a lot compared to the past, then in terms of strength, it should have increased.
After all, if Ruan Shiqing and Ruan Jiao are related, they are both closely related to the Zerg. The Zerg has always been known for its powerful strength.
But Ruan Shiqing's strength test results were still the same as those of ancient humans. It's just that in the past, he was ranked in the middle and back at most. Now, after his physical function has improved, he can move forward, but there is no essential change.
Ruan Shiqing was not surprised by this, but he was even more surprised that Ruan Jiao had a blood relationship with him.
Seeing that he was in a state of uncertainty, Rong Heng remembered that he was in business, and hurriedly told him all the guesses about Yu Ruanjiao's identity.
Ruan Shiqing fell into a deep sink after finishing.
Since waking up, he has been busy comforting Rong Heng and the cubs. Many things have not been sorted out yet. Naturally, he has not mentioned the dream he had when he was in a coma. Witnessed that the queen gave birth to two eggs. According to the Zerg method, that is the king egg.
According to Rong Heng, the Zerg queen has been dead for many years, and most of the current Zerg queens are artificial products, and the genes of this artificial Zerg come from Ruan Jiao. And Ruan Jiao has been trapped by the Zerg for many years... He immediately thought of the king egg that was taken away by the Zerg before he could hide it.
That dead worm queen is the last worm queen of the zerg. She completed the final evolution, took on the human form, accepted the human dimension, tried to end the war that lasted for thousands of years, but finally died in a murder. On the verge of death, two king eggs were left behind.
If he and Ruan Jiao are related by blood, and there is evidence of the Zerg tentacles born on his forehead in the dream, he, or the body he passed through, is likely to be one hidden by the queen of insects. king egg.
But in the records of the Zerg, there is never any mention of the method by which the queen will give birth to males.
The Zerg is a typical matriarchal social structure. The queen who holds the reproductive rights is the queen, because the king eggs laid by each queen must be female.
Now he has too much information missing, as if it can be matched everywhere, but there are contradictions everywhere, and it is impossible to justify it.
But in that dream, everything he saw was so real and reasonable. Whether it is the silence of Blue Star, the expansion of the Zerg to evolutionary division, or the death of Queen Farah... It seems nonsense, but many details just explain the many unexplainable situations at present.
Thinking of Queen Farah, Ruan Shiqing looked at Rong Heng subconsciously.
When the other party mentioned his deceased mother, his expression was always nostalgic and sad, but never anger or hatred. Obviously, he did not know the truth about the Queen's death on the frontline. The cause of the queen's death announced by the empire was that the queen took the lead and died in a once-in-a-hundred-year-old insect wave on the front line.
Ruan Shiqing couldn't confirm which one was true or not, so he could only find a way to verify the authenticity of the dream before telling him the truth.
He skipped the impossible part and said vaguely: "When I was in a coma, I didn't seem to lose consciousness." He described his whole being immersed in an endless body of water: "At that time, my forehead was on my forehead. The same tentacles as Ruan Jiao grew."
Tentacles are a feature unique to the Zerg.
After a while, Garland said after a while: "The way you describe is very similar to the state of the spiritual body. The discipline of studying spiritual power in the Empire is very unpopular, but I have not seen it recently. In Shaoxiang's books and research papers, some scholars once put forward the hypothesis that the essence of human beings is the spiritual body. The scholar compared the spiritual power in the human brain to a sea, also known as "the ocean". 'Spiritual sea'. The spiritual body is self-consciousness and the embodiment of the id. When people look at their 'spiritual sea', they are like 'people' immersed in the sea. The sea is endless, but 'people' are small . When a 'man' can come and go freely in this sea, he has mastery of spiritual power."
This theory is just an assumption, it has never been verified by anyone, and it was even denounced as crooked. The scholar who once put forward the "spiritual sea" theory not only was not recognized, but also suffered a lot of ridicule and attack, and finally died in poverty.
In the past six months, Garland has been exploring Ruan Jiao's abnormality and the reason for Ruan Shiqing's coma, and has read many books on the study of mental power. In addition, Ruan Jiao, a ready-made living example, gave him a lot of insights.
He felt that the "spiritual sea" theory was not necessarily nonsense, but now Ruan Shiqing's words have strengthened his idea.
After pondering for a while, he suggested: "Do you want to go see the Zerg captive? If the guess is correct, the Zerg captive should react to you."
ξβHe was on the horns before, but now Ruan Shiqing's words have pointed him in a new direction-the power of the Zerg is indeed powerful, but the direction of their ultimate evolution may not be power, but spiritual power.
For example, the anthropomorphic Zerg, such as Ruan Jiao.
The closer they get to full human form, the stronger their psychic powers; but correspondingly, their physical powers are diminished. But that doesn't mean they're weaker. For example, the anthropomorphic Zerg has a very high status in the Zerg, and after training, Ruan Jiao can even make the hostile Zerg captives surrender.
Thinking of the falling star vines that grew wildly in the repair shop in the past days, Garland felt that Ruan Shiqing could verify it with the Zerg that had been detained.
But before Ruan Shiqing answered, Rong Heng became nervous first: "No!"
His face was stern, his body tense, and he subconsciously held Ruan Shiqing's arm.
The former Ruan Shiqing fell into a coma because of the dead newborn queen. The talent has just woken up now, and if he is plotted by the Zerg again... As long as he thinks about this possibility, he begins to become restless.
Ruan Shiqing could feel the strength of his arm, and he understood the concerns in Rong Heng's heart.
But he does have a lot of guesses to verify, and after a little research, he's already made up his mind.
With his backhand, he pressed the opponent's tense arm, and Ruan Shiqing's slender fingers flexibly moved down the slightly stretched muscle line, and finally folded on the back of the hand with the bulging veins, intertwined between the fingers and intertwined.
He squeezed the opponent's hand tightly, making him feel his determination: "You go with me, I will be careful, and there will be no more accidents."
Rong Heng looked at him for a moment, and finally had to compromise.
It's just that he was unwilling, and when he went to the Zerg prison, he glared at Garan.
Garland just pretended not to see it.
ξβThe Zerg prison is built under the arsenal. In addition to the three anthropomorphic Zerg captured at first, many more captives were added later with the increase of rescue operations. From the anthropomorphic Zerg, to the ordinary Zerg, they are all imprisoned in prison, and only the minimum survival needs are guaranteed every day. for the Garland Institute.
The lower-level Zerg, the more bet on the periphery.
When Ruan Shiqing and his party went in, they heard hissing roars and crashing sounds. This low-level Zerg has no IQ, and there is no Zerg command and dispatch, so it looks stupid and only uses brute force.
When they passed by, the Zerg had just drank the nutritional supplements and had enough strength, and they started banging against the prison railings again.
The entire underground prison echoed with banging noises, making it very noisy.
Ruan Shiqing frowned subconsciously.
Immediately, the low-level Zerg stopped the impact, and they all retreated to the corner of the prison in horror, with their sharp arthropods shrunk in the carapace, their abdomens clinging to the ground, and even the tentacles on the top of their heads. Don't dare to lift it up.
Seeing this, Jialan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruan Shiqing: "When Ruan Jiao came here, there would be no such situation. Did you do it?"
Ruan Jiao is still young, although through study and exercise, he can make this lower Zerg surrender, but it is not as easy as it is now. The attitude of Zerg surrender is far less tame than it is now.

Ruan Shiqing shook his head, inexplicably: "I didn't do it."
During the conversation, they continued to move forward.
The Zerg detained on both sides of the corridor retreated to the corner of the prison, posing a gesture of surrender.
The further inward, the more intelligent and status the Zerg held. They are not completely submissive like the lower Zerg, but each of them shows a tense posture, and some even can't wait to look out. ξ After scanning ξ back and forth, it landed on Ruan Shiqing.
There was no more banging in the prison. Instead, there was a continuous "hissing" sound.
It was a Zerg-specific sound, like fingernails scratching irregularly on rough paper. In the past, Ruan Shiqing did not understand, and Ruan Jiao was needed to translate.
But this time, he clearly saw their conversation.
"I smell a familiar scent."
"It's the Queen of Worms."
"The queen has died long ago, and there have been no queens for many years."
"Why is he a male..."
"Perfect anthropomorphism, he's more perfect than the queen of insects. Did he infiltrate humans?"
The messy chatter poured into his ears, Ruan Shiqing calmly swept across the cells on both sides, remembering the Zerg who mentioned the queen of insects one by one.
At the end of the corridor is a separate prison cell.
"The bet here is No. 4, the highest-level Zerg we've caught so far. His genes are different from that of the artificial Zerg, and I'm guessing that he is a natural born from a small number of insect queens. Zerg." Garland numbered the Zerg so he could record the data.
Ruan Shiqing looked through the gap in the fence and found that the prisoner was an adult male, with a thin body and a sickly white skin. He was wearing a shirt and trousers. At first glance, he looked no different from a human being.
Rong Heng saw his doubts and explained: "He seems to have evolved a little more completely than other anthropomorphic zerg. When he transformed into a worm, he was half human and half worm."
He caught the zerg during a rescue.
The evolved anthropomorphic Zerg are very cunning. They disguise themselves as ordinary humans, hide in the rescued survivors, and issue orders through Zerg-specific spiritual waves to command other Zerg battles.
That rescue operation was very difficult. Whether it was the rescue team or the planet being rescued, the casualties were incalculable.
The other party is among the survivors and is familiar with all the conditions inside the planet. Under the circumstances that the enemy was dark and we were clear, the rescue operation took nearly a month to end.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen an anthropomorphic Zerg disguised as a human before, Rong Heng kept his mind and kept ordering people to spy on suspicious objects, almost letting this cunning Zerg escape.
Later, he finally caught this Zerg, and when he was escorting him back to the b3024 star, he also encountered a stream of insects. That low-level Zerg was not afraid of death, and charged their battleship again and again, presumably to rescue this Zerg.
According to Rong Heng's judgment, the status of this Zerg is quite high.
It's just that he is obviously more cunning than other anthropomorphic Zerg. He has been tortured several times, but he has not been able to ask too much useful information.
Ruan Shiqing looked at the Zerg across a door.
He always felt that this Zerg gave him a very familiar feeling, but he looked at each other carefully and was sure that he had never seen each other. That is, in the dream state, there is no Zerg that is half human and half insect.
Ning Mei asked for a while, Ruan Shiqing didn't want to let go of any clues, and still said: "Is there a photo of him turning into a Zerg?"
Garland did, and he recalled the stored image from his brain to show him.
Ruan Shiqing turned over them one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on one of the photos, his expression became solemn - in the photo, the man looked like a Zerg from the waist down, and three pairs of arthropods stretched out from the back of the spine. His body is covered with strange patterns, but the most striking is the conch-like red pattern on his chest.
He had seen this pattern before - in a dream.
When the queen broke out of her eggs in human form, countless Zerg worshipped. Among them, the one with the largest body standing closest to the queen had such a red color on its chest and abdomen when it stood up. conch pattern.
But it was still only the appearance of the Zerg at that time, and it did not evolve.
Ruan Shiqing's eyes darkened, suppressing all emotions, looking at No. 4, and lightly wrote: "I have seen you."
The Zerg raised their eyes to look at him, their pupils shrank, and they did not speak.
But Ruan Shiqing was inexplicably aware of his hostility and a trace of fear.
This feeling was inexplicable, but he really felt it. He looked at Ruan Jiao, and saw the cub grabbing the corner of Rong Heng's clothes, wide-eyed, staring at the other side vigilantly, obviously aware of it the other's iniquity.
He squinted, and this time he didn't ask, but said with a certain tone: "It seems that you recognize who I am."
ξͺ΄βWhen he said this, his expression also brought the right sarcasm.
The silent Zerg finally spoke up, fluent in interstellar common language: "She hid you very well, it seems that you have obtained all the inheritance memory now." If you don't have the inheritance memory, it is impossible to recognize he comes.
Ruan Shiqing extracted a lot of information from his words.
1. It is indeed the Zerg in the dream;
2. Dreams are not pure dreams, but inherited memories.
After quickly passing through the analyzed information in her mind, Ruan Shiqing continued to speak calmly: "She had already anticipated your betrayal and made preparations."
No. 4 showed a sure-looking expression, his eyes turned to Ruan Jiao, and gritted his teeth: "She deliberately left a defective king egg for us, but she hid you properly, no wonder this Years we spent countless energy, but we still can't cultivate a real queen."
The reproductive rights of the entire ethnic group are in the hands of the insect queen, but since the insect queen has completed the transformation of human form and has sneaked into the Galactic Empire several times, she no longer has the future of the entire ethnic group, and they β‘ spawning.
He even began to be whimsical, wanting to shake hands with humans to make peace and coexist peacefully in exchange for the "Sky Stone" that promotes the evolution of the ethnic group.
However, the "Heavenly Stone" is so important to the evolution of the ethnic group, how can the lifeblood of the ethnic group be handed over to the alien race?
This idea is too naive!
Instead of being constrained by others, it is better to completely occupy this star field, and then the entire ethnic group can go further.
Originally, they had a perfect plan to push the queen to a desperate situation. When she was on the verge of death, she would definitely give birth to a king egg. As long as she brought back the king egg and cultivated the next queen, everything would remain the same.
But didn't expect that the king egg brought back was a male!
After the queens were gone, the population of the tribe dwindled with the war, and they had to find ways to artificially breed new queens.
The genes that can be extracted from the king eggs have great defects in the breeding queens. The eggs they lay are weaker, and after spawning up to three times, they die completely.
The reproduction of the Zerg has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
It's not that they didn't suspect that there is something wrong with this king egg, but the queen worm can only give birth to one king egg at a time, so they immediately suspected it and could no longer confirm it.
Now Ruan Shiqing's appearance made him confirm that they fell into the trap of the queen.
She deliberately left a defective king egg, but hid the king egg that had all the inheritance.
And now, this grown king egg, like his mother, is close to humans.
Unwilling to let out an angry hiss, the Zerg swooped forward, the limbs behind it suddenly stretched out, trying to attack Ruan Shiqing.
Rong Heng, who was guarding the side, took a step forward and caught the sharp arthropod with his bare hand. The other hand chopped off in a knife-like shape, breaking the opponent's arthropod.
Three pairs of arthropods were cut off one after another, and the severely injured Zerg fell to the ground. Human eyes gradually transformed into the complex of Zerg, staring at Ruan Shiqing with hatred.
Ruan Shiqing condensed him for a moment, guessing that he couldn't get the words out today, so he simply turned around and left.
Just told Garland not to let him die easily.
After getting on the elevator and getting away from the Zerg, Rong Heng, who didn't say a word, said, "Are you playing a riddle with that Zerg just now?"
Garland and Ruan Jiao were obviously very puzzled, and three pairs of eyes stared at him, waiting for him to clear their doubts.
Ruan Shiqing sighed slightly: "I'll talk to you when I go back."
Confirmed with number 4. He has basically determined that the broken fragments in the "dream" are real.
That is the memory that has been passed down through generations of insect queens.
