Chapter 1: Insectoid Base
Tang Fang was momentarily bewildered; wasn't this the game he played called StarCraft II? He remembered that he had once ranked in the top ten on the "ladder"; how could it suddenly appear in his mind
Straightening up, I made an effort to inch forward by one foot. I intended to grab the flashlight to examine the surrounding environment, but to my surprise, when I reached out with my hand, I realized that it was not a flashlight at all; it was clearly a gun.
Diagnosis completed, confirming the suitability of the anomalous insect
Task objective: Investigate the thermal energy reactions within the underground cavities of area α - 103 and identify the types of minerals.
His thoughts shifted to the present, casting aside the scene of the Zerg base. He pressed his hands against the ground, attempting to rise. The effect of the medical gel was indeed remarkable; in just about ten minutes, the injury on his leg had healed significantly, allowing him to drag one leg and walk with difficulty.
His scalp tingled, and he did not know where the strength came from as he pushed himself backward with both hands. Unexpectedly, he pressed down on a stone covered in the bodily fluids of insects, causing his hands to slip and his head to tilt back, resulting in a loud "thud" as it struck the rocky ground
As for the far right, it is golden yellow, shimmering with the flame symbol of spiritual energy, representing the Star Spirit
Suddenly, a shadow flashed across the light.
Although the surface of the fifth planet appears extremely barren, desolate, and devoid of any vitality, beneath it is quite the opposite, akin to a rugged woman who uses sweat as perfume; it is rich in caves, abundant in hair, and has plenty of water
The yellowish-green liquid is splattered everywhere, on the rocks, in the crevices, and some even splashed onto the stalactites, dripping down drop by drop.
On May 25, 2267 AD? It has been a full 253 years! Traveling forward in time is not surprising, nor is traveling through parallel dimensions, but he actually traveled backward, arriving in the present day, 253 years later.
Three very intuitive images: on the far left, there is a circular incubation chamber standing on a purple fungal mat, with six sharp claws raised high. In the center, there are five large, intestine-like channels that are constantly writhing. Beside it, there is a worker bee (farmer), a larva resembling a sea cucumber swimming around the incubation chamber, and a large, ugly queen worm drifting about.
I recall being nudged by a teammate and accidentally sliding to the bottom of the pit. Logically, they should have stopped to rescue me, but why did both of them leave without saying a word
Tang Fang took a sharp breath, unable to comprehend how just a moment ago he was in the hospital bed, struggling against the ceiling, and in the next moment found himself here. What was even more disgusting was that he had even brought along his leg injury.
These insects, each with their sharp fangs, can easily lead to a fatal outcome if they get too close. Fortunately, they have all been dealt with by Tang Yan
Tang Fang was indeed taken aback, but when he gripped the gun and pulled the trigger, the scene that unfolded under the light startled him so much that even the hairs in the depths of his rear end stood on end
This is the era of the Great Star River, where there are no guns or gunpowder for him to invent, no novels or movies for him to plagiarize, and he is certainly not a scion of a prominent family or a noble's wayward son. He is merely an ordinary cannon fodder soldier, and perhaps one day a stray bullet will explode beside him, leaving the universe with yet another empty coffin that exists only in photographs
He let out a comfortable sigh, shifted his body back a bit, and leaned sideways against a rock, trying to make himself a little more comfortable. Little did he know, with a slap, he directly pressed down on a dead insect.
Hiss
Reorganized gene structure, gene level E, research tree unlocked, technology level 1, unlock building 'Splitting Pool'
Reflecting on the content narrated by the unfamiliar voice just now, and connecting it with the phenomenon before me, it can be inferred that the corpses of these insects have activated the interstellar system residing within him
He raised his gun and surveyed the surroundings. This was a depression, far from the top of the cave, and the place where he had fallen from was also about 7 or 8 meters high, making it impossible to climb back up.
Switching host operation
As the cursor flickered, a scene appeared before Tang Fang's eyes
Tang Fang subconsciously touched the ground, which was damp and slippery, with a slight gritty texture
After confirming that there were no dangers in the vicinity, he gritted his teeth and took a medical patch from the supply bag behind him. He applied it to the wound on his right knee under the light, and a cool sensation penetrated beneath the skin, alleviating the sharp sting.
Where is this?
The head still throbbed faintly, and the mind was filled with numerous chaotic fragments of memories; at one moment, there were the shrill cries of bloodthirsty swarms, at another, the dazzling flashes of intense gunfire, then the undulating contours of a sand table resembling the curves of a young model, and finally, the old face of the company boss, pickled like a cucumber.
The central image is presented in gray, featuring the emblem of a soaring eagle, symbolizing humanity
"Tick-tock, tick-tock." The water droplets falling from the stalactites hit the puddle, producing a series of soft sounds
Suddenly, a voice devoid of emotion echoed in my mind: "Unknown DNA sequence detected, diagnostic program initiated ... ... "
Of course, "that day" may be very distant, or it could be today
... ... ... ... ... ...
Now, before him lie only two paths: the first, to take a detour along a nearby winding road back to the base; the second, to sit here and wait for his companions to come to his rescue
α - 103? Salton Star System? Tang Fang paused for a moment, his thoughts slightly shifted, and a piece of information flashed by: May 25, 2267
A buzzing sound filled the air, and a wave of dizziness washed over me as countless fragmented memories converged and reassembled in my mind, flashing by like scenes from a movie
Tang Yan, the original owner of this body; age 24, occupation, soldier; rank of sergeant, squad liaison officer
The first road is very dangerous, God knows where that bend leads to, and if it happens to be the lair of insects, one's life would be in jeopardy. As for the second road, recalling the situation when he fell into the pit, he always felt something was amiss
With the effort of prying open my eyelids, I was met with a pitch-black darkness; apart from the rhythmic sound of splashing water, all that remained was a foul stench reminiscent of decaying braised pork.
In the dim and damp cavern, a beam of light shines upon the rock wall, casting a circle of bluish haze.
The collection of life energy is complete, quantity 250
Tang Fang's hand trembled slightly, his grip unsteady, the muzzle of the gun tilted slightly downward as it swept across the ground beneath him
With a strong effort, I moved my limbs a bit. A sharp, burning pain shot up from below my right knee. When I touched it with my hand, it felt sticky. Gathering the remaining strength, I moved forward half a foot and, under the light, I was startled to see a large patch of blood.
He is not skilled in wielding a gun or fighting, but when it comes to this, he is truly adept and experienced. With a click of the mouse and a press of a hotkey, a pulsating tumor-like structure appears not far from the hatchery as the worker bee plunges into the mycelium blanket.
Task Location: Planet 5 of the Salton Star System, Area α - 103
A corpse of an insect, approximately the length and width of a ruler, resembling a cockroach, lay on its back on the ground, with a hole opened in its abdomen, from which a drop or two of green bodily fluid was spraying out like urine.
The corpse, surrounded by a multitude of insect carcasses, densely packed, numbering at least one hundred.
That was an arm, a bloodstained arm
"Unlucky." He muttered under his breath, just as he was about to shake off the bodily fluid that was sticking to his palm
What a shameless act! Unable to hold back a curse, I thought to myself, at a time like this, one still cannot forget to play games
