【Chapter 427, Memory Reappearance】

When Lu Jiuchuan woke up, he found that he was lying on the sofa, and Tang Ci was sleeping next to him, and he hadn't woken up yet. His face was pale, his brows were frowned, and his forehead was constantly sweating, as if he had fallen into a terrible nightmare.

The fragment that flashed through my mind just now, is it a dream or a flashback of memory?

Lu Jiuchuan took a step forward, gently held Tang Ci's hand, and whispered, "Xiao Tang, wake up."

Tang Ci was struggling in a nightmare, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him, he struggled to wake up from the nightmare, looking into Shanglu Jiuchuan's deep eyes.

Seeing him open his eyes, Lu Jiuchuan helped him to sit up, and handed him a glass of water: "Drink some water."

Tang Ci broke out in a cold sweat. The sweat had soaked his shirt and even his hair was wet. The bloody scene in his dream made him tremble uncontrollably. With trembling fingers, he took the water glass and took a few sips in a hurry.

Warm water slid down his throat, his body gradually warmed up, and Tang Ci finally regained his sanity. He looked at Lu Jiuchuan, with a hoarse voice that had just woken up: "Brother Jiu, I just had a nightmare."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Me too."

The two looked at each other, and Tang Ci quickly realized: "If the content of our dream is the same, does it prove that it is not a dream, but a memory that we experienced together but was forgotten?!"

After all, it was a picture that flashed in my mind when I was in a coma, and it might just be a dream. But what if two people have the same dream? That proves that everything in the dream is a real event that they have experienced together.

Lu Jiuchuan said in a deep voice: "On February 17, 3000 in the star calendar, my immediate superior, General Lin Zecheng, suddenly summoned me and asked me to destroy the low-level Zerg on a black planet in Hilt's no-man's land, and occupy that planet." Precious resource star."

Tang Ci continued his words and said: "You returned to the Sharp Arrow Corps on the afternoon of the 17th, and told me to leave for Shilt No Man's Land on the 19th, so that I could get ready. I asked you what your mission was, and you said it easily , to kill some bugs."

Hearing this, Yu Hanjiang looked at Lu Jiuchuan and said, "Brother, do you still remember that we met once on February 18th, you said you were going to perform a mission, and you came back after a long time, I asked you about the mission, because the military The special mission must be kept secret, you didn't tell me... the time is just right."

Accept the task on the 17th, say goodbye to Yu Hanjiang on the 18th, and set off on the 19th.

It seems that these fragmentary pictures are really forgotten memories.

Xiao Lou walked up to Yu Hanjiang and said, "Both Ninth Brother and Mr. Tang have never experienced the secret room of 8 of spades, nor seen this kind of Zerg, so they underestimated the enemy and encountered accidents while performing missions in Hilt's no-man's land? "

Lu Jiuchuan said with a sullen face: "General Lin told me that this planet is full of small bugs, and there are no intelligent creatures. Therefore, we didn't pay attention to the small bugs at first. After we came here, we put them on the planet. A lot of gunpowder, originally intended to burn the Zerg to death, ended up causing the Zerg to merge and upgrade."

Recalling those experiences, Tang Ci's face turned slightly pale: "I remember that those Zergs evolved the ability to fly, and the vanguard troops we sent were wiped out. Although the bugs are afraid of fire, they are too large in number. The naval tactics overwhelmed us, piercing our mechs with their sharp wings, and even piercing the shield of the starship!"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "A lot of people died in the Legion. I had no choice but to send an emergency letter to the military department."

Tang Ci went on to say: "Later, a woman's voice suddenly warned us that we would bury her people with her...it should be the Zerg Queen? The voice we heard just now was the same as the female voice in memory."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "What happened later? There are so many Zergs, how did you escape?"

Lu Jiuchuan pressed his temple hard. He recalled it carefully for a moment, and then said: "Someone should have saved us. The situation was extremely dangerous at that time. The Zerg army had already broken through the defense cover of our starship, and even destroyed the balance system. Unable to take off, more and more Zerg entered the starship to start a fierce battle with our soldiers, Xiaotang's leg..."

When he said this, he stopped suddenly.

In his memory, he watched Tang Ci's legs being cut off by the Zerg's sharp claws like knives.

There was blood everywhere.

Tang Ci fainted from the pain, Lu Jiuchuan was about to burst into tears, and rushed forward to hug Tang Ci tightly...

In fact, Tang Ci's leg was broken in the Plum Blossom J Nightmare Chamber. Only Tang Ci knew what happened at that time, and Lu Jiuchuan did not witness it with his own eyes. But this time in the secret room, the gatekeeper modified the plot. Tang Ci's legs were good at the beginning, but they were cut off by the Zerg as Lu Jiuchuan's face.

Lu Jiuchuan didn't want to recall that scene at all.

That unprecedented heartache is still clearly in his mind until now. He watched Tang Ci fall in a pool of blood, his legs below the knees were torn off by the Zerg and thrown aside, his heart seemed to be crushed, and he was so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.

He picked up the submachine gun like crazy, aimed at the swarm and fired fiercely!

Seeing the clusters of flames shooting out of the gun barrel, the Zergs were startled and frightened. The ear-piercing screams resounded through the starship, and the Zergs coming from behind attacked Lu Jiuchuan even more frantically.

Lu Jiuchuan's shoulder was poked a big hole by the Zerg's sharp claws, bleeding profusely, he didn't feel any pain at all, he just wanted to kill this group of Zerg, and die with them!

It's a pity that he can't deal with so many Zerg by himself.

Not long after, he collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Jiuchuan felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. He crawled over with difficulty, hugged Tang Ci who had fainted tightly, and said with a sob: "Xiao Tang, I killed you... But, I can die with you Together, it's not bad."

Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard a clear singing voice in his ear.

That voice seemed to come from the distant sky, like the sound of heaven...

Lu Jiuchuan closed his eyes, chased away the bloody images in his mind, and suddenly turned around and hugged Tang Ci tightly.

The teammates looked puzzled when they saw his action.

But Tang Ci knew why brother Jiu would suddenly hug him. He remembered that at the moment when his legs were cut off and he was about to pass out from the pain, he saw the man rushing to hug him like a mad beast, roaring in pain, that was the last image in his memory .

Lu Jiuchuan must have been devastated, and now thinking of those scenes, it's normal to be emotional.

Tang Ci stretched out his hand, patted Lu Jiuchuan's back lightly like a hair, and said softly: "It's okay, am I standing here properly? My legs have also been healed, so you don't have to feel sorry for me."

Lu Jiuchuan was not sad, he was just heartbroken.

He suddenly thought how difficult it would be for Tang Ci to survive alone after losing his legs in Plum Blossom J's nightmare chamber. At that time, he was not by Tang Ci's side... Letting Tang Ci face the pain and fear of losing his legs alone was the greatest regret in his life.

Perhaps, the gatekeeper deliberately replayed the scene of Tang Ci's broken leg in front of his eyes, just to torture him and let him know clearly what a terrible nightmare Tang Ci had experienced.

He would rather be the one whose limbs were cut off than Tang Ci to suffer that kind of crime again.

Lu Jiuchuan tightened his arms and hugged Tang Ci tightly. The body temperature of the person in his arms made him feel at ease. It's good that Tang Ci is still by his side and his legs have recovered... He secretly swore that even if he died , and never let Tang Ci get hurt in the future.

Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath to calm himself down, let go of Tang Ci, turned to look at his teammates, and said solemnly: "After Xiao Tang fainted, I was also injured fighting the Zerg, and my consciousness gradually became blurred due to excessive blood loss. I heard a strange singing before, thought I was dying, and heard the singing from heaven, now it seems that the singing should be real."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other... singing?

Yu Hanjiang said: "Could it be sent by the person who saved you?"

Without knowing that these Zergs were highly intelligent creatures, Lu Jiuchuan set fire to many Zergs and killed them. The Queen was furious and ordered them all to be buried with them. It was impossible to let them go easily.

The people who appeared at the critical moment and rescued them were the key.

Xiao Lou sorted out the time sequence, and said, "Ninth brother sent a distress signal to the military headquarters, and the nearest legion could not arrive within a few minutes, so it is definitely not the imperial legion that saved you."

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "The military department said that we were attacked by alien creatures in Hilt's no-man's land and suffered heavy casualties. The passing friendly troops rescued us, but the actual situation is definitely not the case."

Who saved Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci?

This is all Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci can recall. They have no memory of what happened after the coma, and Xiao Lou and the others naturally have no way of knowing.

Standing by the porthole, Chu Huaying looked at the black planet under her feet, and suddenly said: "I have been wandering in the interstellar since I was a child, and I also heard from my parents that there are Zerg in Hilt No Man's Land. This shows that human beings are not This is not the first time I have landed on a Zerg planet. Remember the Queen's warning just now?"

She repeated: "Invade the Zerg homeland and slaughter my people, you humans, haven't you done evil enough these years?"

Shao Qingge frowned slightly: "The evil you have done these years... It seems that before the ninth brother, there were humans who slaughtered the Zerg? When I was talking to the queen just now, I could clearly feel her anger. The hatred is extremely strong, and the 8 of Spades secret room Zerg invaded the human city, is it also related to this incident?"

Although they experienced the 8 of Spades first, the time flow rate of all the secret rooms in the card world can be adjusted. Maybe, humans slaughtered the Zerg, which attracted the Zerg's revenge?

In that 8-of-Spades secret room, the entire human city fell. Except for dozens of surviving challengers, tens of millions of human beings were almost all infected by the Zerg and became puppets of the Zerg.

If there is a logical connection between the 8 of spades and this secret room, it is very likely that it is a retaliatory invasion of the Zerg against humans? !

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the colder he felt in his heart, he said: "This starship of Huaying is made according to the form of the Zerg, and the seniors on this star pirate ship must have landed on the Zerg planet. Do you want to investigate?"

Chu Huaying nodded simply: "Okay, I'll call everyone over for an interrogation."

*****

【Chapter 428, Past events】

Chu Huaying has lived on the Dark Night starship for twenty-eight years. In her memory, she has been wandering the stars with her parents since she was a child. Unfortunately, her parents passed away early, and the Dark Night starship has never landed on the Zerg planet again. It is also half-knowledgeable.

With Chu Huaying's order, more than 30 star pirates on the star pirate ship gathered in the command room.

She began to interrogate one by one: "Have you been to the Zerg planet before? How much do you know about this planet?"

Most of the star thieves know limited things. They heard from their parents that there are bugs on this planet. No one knows what kind of bugs they are.

It also made many people turn pale with fright.

Yu Hanjiang's interrogator was more professional than Chu Huaying. He stood next to Chu Huaying wearing a mask and carefully observed the expressions and movements of these star thieves. When Chu Huaying interrogated an old man with gray hair, Yu Hanjiang suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "When this old man heard about Zerg Planet, his eyes dodged and his right hand subconsciously shrank behind his back. He obviously knows something."

Body language is also very important. In many cases, Yu Hanjiang can judge whether the suspect is telling the truth or lying based on the subtle body language. This is the valuable experience he has gained from interrogating criminals for many years.

Chu Huaying understood, and focused on interrogating the old man in front of him.

The old man is over 50 years old. He is a star thief of the same generation as Chu Huaying's father. He is responsible for the maintenance of starships. He doesn't usually show up, but Chu Huaying remembers him.

She walked in front of the other party and said gently: "Uncle Qin, you watched me grow up, and now I am the captain of the starship Dark Night, I should have the right to know some secrets, right? Otherwise, I will be like today , Accidentally driving the starship to the Zerg planet, wouldn't it harm everyone?"

The old man trembled suddenly, gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Chu Huaying said: "Those bugs suddenly flew over to attack us just now. What is the reason? The Zerg queen said that we humans have not done enough evil these years... Do you know what she means? Tell me, please?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Twenty-three years ago, we wandered around the interstellar world and accidentally discovered that there were a lot of precious minerals on this planet. We landed in that mine and wanted to mine it. Some minerals are sold in various countries, but they are surrounded by countless bugs."

"We were taken aback. We were about to take up weapons, but were stopped by the former captain. The Zerg didn't attack us, but just watched us curiously. The captain said, we only have thirty or so people, and we don't know this The ability of the Zerg race, don’t rashly harm the native races here, it’s best to communicate and negotiate with them.”

"But humans and the Zerg don't speak the same language, and we don't know how to negotiate. We talked for a long time, and the Zerg just circled around us curiously, and didn't give any response. So, the captain came up with an idea, and he took the initiative to approach the Zerg. At that time He happened to have a wound on his hand, and those bugs actually crawled into his body along his wound..."

Chu Huaying's face changed: "And then? He became a Zerg?"

"No, he conquered the Zerg living in his body." Speaking of the captain, the old man couldn't help showing admiration on his face, he coughed lightly, and then said: "It's amazing that the captain has the ability of the Zerg." , and can understand the language of the Zerg. He went to talk to the Queen of the Zerg and told her that we were just taking some ores that are waste to the Zerg but extremely precious to us."

"Has the Queen agreed?"

"She agreed." The old man said: "Those minerals are garbage to the Zerg, but they can help humans make armor. Coincidentally, the nutrient solution we carry for cultivating plants can just help the Queen speed up the reproduction of the creep. "

There is indeed a greenhouse on the Starship Dark Night, which is specially used to grow vegetables and fruits. After all, Star Pirates have been wandering in the universe for a long time, and they cannot always eat compressed biscuits. Now that science and technology are advanced, nutrient solutions have been widely used, which can speed up the growth of crops, and a Chinese cabbage can mature in just a few days.

Unexpectedly, this nutrient solution is actually effective for Zerg?

Xiao Lou suddenly had a bold guess in his heart. He asked, "So, you have reached an agreement with the Zerg Queen. You provide nutrient solution to help her breed creep, and she allows you to mine the minerals on the planet?"

The old man glanced at Xiao Lou. The young man was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly, his eyes were dark and clear, and his voice was very gentle... He didn't know whether he should answer or not.

Chu Huaying said indifferently: "They have already decided to join the Star Bandits, they are their own people, Uncle Qin, just say it."

The old man nodded, and continued: "We have made peace with the Zerg on this planet, and designed a new starship according to the shape of the Zerg. Afterwards, we mined a large amount of ore for sale, and continued to deliver nutrient solution to assist the Queen. The blanket covered the entire planet. Those three years were the best three years our Star Thief team had..."

Chu Huaying can almost guess the next plot: "You sell a lot of precious ores, and the profits you get make many people jealous. They will definitely wonder about the source of the ores and find a way to track you?"

Uncle Qin closed his eyes in pain, clenched his fists and said, "Yes. We were tracked by anti-reconnaissance drones when we went to the Zerg planet to mine ore. The minister found out. Then, he asked the military department to send a legion to wipe out the Zerg and occupy the resource star..."

Recalling the scene back then, Old Uncle Qin trembled all over. He choked up and said, "The Star Thief was killed and injured. In the end, only a few people escaped in the starship, including me and your parents."

Chu Huaying frowned and said: "That is to say, the Imperial Army found this resource star by tracking you. Because the minerals on the planet are too rich, they don't know that the Zerg is an intelligent creature, so they just sent troops to destroy it?"

Old Uncle Qin said: "Yes, after all, in their eyes, we star robbers should have been wiped out, and we occupy resource stars to make huge profits, so of course they want to get rid of us and the Zerg together... But, they didn't expect the Zerg to be so terrible, They failed to wipe out the Zerg, but the Zerg resisted desperately, almost annihilating the troops they sent, only a few survived, and fled in the fastest S-class armor."

Xiao Lou asked, "Where's your old captain?"

Uncle Qin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I was taken away."

"That is to say, the captain who merged with the Zerg was captured by the military and returned to the capital planet?"

"Yes, he evolved a very strong ability after merging with the Zerg. He would not have been caught, but there were too many troops sent at that time. In order to protect us, he drove a battle armor to meet us. The combat capabilities of the elite troops of the empire It is also very strong, directly trapping the captain's armor with an electromagnetic net and taking it away..."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other. Although they were separated by masks, they both thought of the same possibility at this moment.

Chu Huaying said: "Uncle Qin, tell us what else you know."

The old man sighed softly and said: "Because the old captain often chatted with the queen after merging with the Zerg, the Zerg queen also learned the human language. When we fled in the starship, I heard her say that humans should not step into the Zerg again." The planet is half a step away, or we will kill one by one. Because of this, we never dared to land on the Zerg planet again."

He looked at Chu Huaying, with regret on his face: "If I knew that you went to the Zerg planet today, I would definitely stop it! Huaying, don't be so impulsive anymore, the Zerg is not easy to mess with!"

Chu Huaying nodded: "Thank you Uncle Qin, I understand, you can go back and rest."

After the old man left, everyone took off their masks.

Everyone's faces were ugly.

Ye Qi concluded: "The Star Pirates accidentally discovered that the territory of the Zerg has ores that humans need, and they negotiated with the Zerg for mutual benefit... However, the Star Pirates became more and more greedy and sold more and more minerals, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Resources. After discussing with the Ministry of Resources of the Empire and the military, they decided to wipe out the Star Thief and the Zerg, and occupy the resource star, but it triggered a fierce resistance from the Zerg. In the end, both sides suffered losses. The leader was captured; the army was almost wiped out?"

If the military department had softened its attitude to negotiate with the Zerg Queen, the tragedy would not have happened.

However, seeing these seemingly "weak" bugs for the first time, human beings are born with the arrogance of "higher creatures", and they will subconsciously think... Isn't it just some low-level bugs? Once it burns out, this planet is ours.

The facts gave them a head-on blow.

Ye Qi's summary made the teammates feel heavy, especially Lu Jiuchuan, who had suffered a loss, was full of regret. However, that was the plot set by the gatekeeper for him and Tang Ci, and it was what happened before they entered the secret room. If it was Lu Jiuchuan himself, he would never act rashly.

Yu Hanjiang suddenly whispered: "The captain of the starship was arrested 20 years ago, and it was also the year when the Noah's Ark plan was restarted."

In the star calendar 2977, the star robbers discovered the Zerg planet, sold minerals, and made huge profits. They lived a prosperous life for 3 years.

In star calendar 2980, the Star Bandits were tracked down by the military. The military carried out an extermination plan, but failed to wipe out the Zerg, and almost wiped out the entire army.

In the same year, Noah's Ark was planned to be restarted.

Could it be a coincidence?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "The Noah's Ark project failed for the first time in 2975 in the star calendar. It was because of a problem with the culture medium. The copied children did not live long, and the experiment was forced to stop. We have always wondered why in 2980 The plan will be restarted, and now it seems that this restart of the plan has a great relationship with the discovery of the Zerg!"

What a coincidence in timing!

It just so happened that human beings suffered a loss on the Zerg planet that year, and happened to catch a star thief leader who had merged with the Zerg. Not long after, the Noah's Ark plan was restarted, and 3 billion was invested to study replicants again.

Xiao Lou and the others have long speculated that the plan to restart is due to the great improvement in experimental technology. Now it seems that this improvement may also be inspired by the Zerg.

Yu Hanjiang followed his words and speculated: "The nutrient solution used by humans to cultivate vegetables and fruits can accelerate the reproduction of Zerg creep. Then... can the genes of Zerg also accelerate the development of humans?"

Xiao Loudao: "If this is the case, the scientists will definitely take the captured Star Bandit back for experiments. Maybe they extracted the Zerg gene from him, and added some gene fragments to the gene sequence for replicating human cells?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "The reason why the second experiment went so smoothly, and the copied children could grow up quickly and be the same age as the main body - because, the mad scientist, It actually hybridized and modified human genes!"

When the teammates heard this, they only felt chills down their spines.

What if the Zerg gene is added to the human gene sequence and mutated? Are they crazy? !
