Chapter 659 Cartilage
"I scanned it earlier."
Seeing that Lu Chihuan had not spoken yet, Jinwu took the initiative to introduce himself in an inorganic electronic voice:
"The silk cocoon should contain the liquefied tissue of the insect and a small amount of neurons. The liquefied tissue contains rich protein, which can provide the insects with the energy they need for daily life. It can be said to be a good tonic."
Lu Chihuan was not surprised by this.
after all.
He had seen a video of a sugar glider eating on the Internet before. The glider had black eyes and it held an opened silkworm pupa in its two little paws and started sucking on it. It looked like it was eating some kind of string cheese, which was very addictive to watch.
that period of time.
Lu Chihuan also had the idea of eating some fried silkworm pupae to see what they tasted like.
pity.
Ms. Lu is a bit of a germaphobe.
Don't let him try.
"This wormhole is desolate and desolate. The food that the Zerg can find is probably limited."
"In addition, if there really is a mother worm in this wormhole, it probably needs to accumulate strength for the subsequent large-scale egg laying, so it will send its Zerg to find nutrients for it."
Lu Chihuan pursed his lips.
He tapped his cheek with his slender white fingers and tried to analyze it. "Since the Zerg passed by here last night."
"That proves that we were not wrong in the direction of our search for the Zerg nest. The probability of encountering Zerg in the future will probably be greatly increased. Everyone must be more vigilant from now on."
“Don’t let your guard down.”
Seeing that he had diverted Lu Chihuan's attention from placing the explosive device, Lu Minghe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"You have a point."
He nodded steadily.
Then he stood up again and said, "I will ask my men to pack their luggage and assemble quickly. We will set off in about ten minutes. Huanhuan, you can rest here for a while."
Lu Chihuan shook his head.
"I've had enough rest since last night."
talking.
He stood up as well.
At this moment, it seemed that his back and waist were sore after sitting for too long, so he couldn't help stretching. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he looked like a calico cat basking in the sun with only its belly exposed, feeling a bit comfortable and lazy.
"Besides, if everyone is working and I am the only one sitting here taking a rest..."
"I would be embarrassed too."
He waved towards Lu Minghe.
At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves with great effort and put the tent where he and Lu Minghe had slept before into the storage ring.
after that.
He asked Jinwu to share the recorded Zerg route on his communicator, and then opened it to check it carefully.
Lu Chi is busy all the time.
The whole person is like a diligent little bee. There is no trace of complaint in those clear eyes. The smile at the corners of his lips is warm, making people feel as soothed and comfortable as if basking in the sun.
now.
Lu Minghe turned his head.
You can see Lu Chihuan frowning, looking down at the light screen and talking to Jin Wu. He seems to be discussing something with Jin Wu. He taps the light screen a few times with his fingers, and his face looks a little serious.
Looks very adult.
This made Lu Minghe unconsciously feel a little sad and a sense of loss.
Huan Huan...
I have grown up.
He raised his hand and pressed his chest, forcibly suppressing the sense of loss that was welling up in his heart. Only after he finished the things at hand did he walk up to Lu Chihuan.
"Huanhuan."
"My elite troops have been packed up and are ready to go at any time."
Lu Chihuan nodded.
He shared the route map on the light screen with Lu Minghe and asked him to distribute it to other members of the Ghost Star Pirates. "This is our next route and the simple cave map made by Jinwu. Brother, ask your men to remember it."
"just in case."
“We have a special situation.”
Lu Chihuan paused.
Although he didn't want to say anything discouraging before setting off, he had to be prepared for possible risks, "For example, our team was forced to be dispersed everywhere."
"Plus the communicator is out of order."
"If you can't remember the route, you'll probably get lost in the cave."
Lu Ming agreed immediately.
He lowered his head.
After a simple operation on the communicator on his wrist, his five fingers had distinct joints and his eyes, which were usually calm and composed, now flickered with a faint light under the refraction of the light screen.
He looked very serious.
This unquestionable action made Lu Chihuan feel as if a warm current flowed into his heart. Seeing this, he took out a spider-shaped robot about the size of a mung bean from his storage ring.
As soon as this thing is taken out.
Jinwu's body suddenly froze, as if something connected it invisibly. It stared at the small spider-shaped robot and felt inexplicably familiar with it.
strangeness.
This thing is like a part of its body. It seems that as long as it wants to -
He can easily invade his consciousness into the body of this spider-shaped robot and then secretly control its every move.
"This is……"
Jinwu couldn't help but speak.
"This is a small gift from Eaton in another world."
"It's relatively small, so it's not easy to be spotted by other large creatures, but it moves and climbs very quickly. If we release it to explore the way... it can warn us of possible dangers ahead in a timely manner."
Lu Chihuan curled his eyes.
His voice sounded gentle and soft, "It's more than that."
"In places with a local area network or a star network, it can also automatically invade and obtain the data we want, or seize control. It will perform better there."
"I was captured by human traffickers and taken to an illegal laboratory before. It was thanks to this that I escaped. Speaking of which..."
“I have to thank it.”
Having said this, he spread out his fair palms, and when he saw the spider-shaped little robot start up, he tapped its head with his fingers, with a bit of intimacy and pleasure in his movements.
The little spider-shaped robot rubbed Lu Chihuan's fingers as if in response.
It raised its head and looked at Lu Chihuan.
It seemed as if it was waiting for the next instruction.
Lu Chihuan naturally understood what the little robot meant. He half-knelt down, gently placed the spider-shaped robot on the ground, and then said in a gentle voice:
"Then please help us explore the way forward along this route."
"If you encounter Zerg or slime with parasitic abilities on the road, could you give us a warning in time?"
After saying this.
He showed the little robot the route map, the Zerg and the photos of the slime. The little robot's eyes flickered, as if it was entering useful data.
A moment later.
It nodded up and down again, as if responding to the request Lu Chihuan had just made.
"Thank you."
Lu Chihuan gave a sincere smile.
The small spider-shaped robot the size of a mung bean reacted quickly, captured the scene, and then stored it in its own cloud settings.
It took two steps back reluctantly.
After that, he climbed out of the cave where Lu Chihuan and the others were at an extremely fast speed.
It was originally small in size.
If you don't use any external force and just look at it with your naked eyes, it is basically difficult to detect its trace, so in less than a moment, it has disappeared.
Lu Chihuan patted the dust off his hands.
After standing up, he turned his head to look at Lu Minghe and Jin Wu, but found that the aura emanating from them was somewhat cold and sharp, as if they were sulking.
He thought for a moment.
Because he was too familiar with Lu Minghe and Jin Wu.
So he quickly guessed where the coldness and sharpness of this man and the mecha came from, "Don't take that illegal laboratory to heart."
Lu Chihuan raised his hand and shook it lightly.
The dimple at the corner of her lips also deepened a little, her smile was as soft as ever, and her words were somewhat understated.
"after all."
"As soon as I escaped from there, I blew up that damn place. This incident was even on the hot search headlines on Starnet. Did you guys not pay any attention to it at all?"
Lu Minghe and Jin Wu looked at each other.
Although they are among the top leaders in the universe, they are not addicted to the virtual network. They spend most of their time handling official business and sleeping.
As for the major events happening in the universe, they will basically be sorted out by adjutants and secretaries and then placed on their desks.
and so.
They didn't quite understand what Lu Chihuan was talking about.
Lu Chihuan looked helpless.
He folded his arms and glanced at the man and the mecha for a few seconds. He moved his lips and was about to say something.
However, he heard a few crisp beeps coming from the communicator on his wrist, and his expression suddenly became more serious.
"There's news from the little robot."
"There is parasitic slime marked about 500 meters ahead. There aren't many of them. With our strength, we should be able to deal with them quickly. Now, get the powerful flamethrower ready."
"Then just do it."
The topic was abruptly terminated.
Lu Chihuan put on his gas mask again and discussed with Lu Minghe and Jinwu. Jinwu chose to be at the end of the team, while he and Lu Minghe acted as forwards.
In this case.
Even if there are any dangers, they can solve them to the greatest extent possible.
"You can remove the protective shield now."
Lu Chihuan said.
Because the lower half of his face was covered by the mask, his body sounded a bit dull. "Let's go now."
talking.
Their team rushed along the route recorded by Jinwu. After walking about 500 meters, they encountered the parasitic slime that the spider-shaped robot had warned about.
But because Lu Chihuan and his men were well prepared, they were able to completely eliminate the parasitic slime, and the battle ended unexpectedly easily.
After this.
They also encountered some dangers from time to time, but because the spider-shaped robots had explored the way for them in advance, they were basically safe and sound and had a smooth journey.
At this moment, Lu Chihuan walked briskly.
His slender fingers nimbly played with the light blade in his hand, his back straightened a little, and the whole person looked like a sharp sword just out of its sheath.
It glows with a chilling cold light.
Lu Minghe looked at Lu Chihuan's back.
Even he himself didn't notice that the smile on his lips seemed to deepen.
If it weren't for Huan Huan -
I'm afraid that his journey to find the insect nest will not be so smooth, and the elite Ghost Pirates he brought with him will probably suffer heavy losses.
All of a sudden.
He unconsciously felt a sense of satisfaction and honor in his heart.
If he was not in a dangerous cave, he would definitely show off to everyone without making a sound and tell them that Huanhuan was actually his younger brother.
"Drip."
The communicator on his wrist rang twice again. Lu Chihuan lowered his head and looked at it carefully, a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes.
After a while, he spoke, "Brother, the little robot told me that there are two mutated Zerg ahead. Why don't we capture them first and test their weaknesses."
In this case.
It will be easier to deal with it after entering the insect nest.
"it is good."
Lu Minghe agreed.
The two men gestured to the team behind them, indicating that there were Zerg ahead. Only then did they carefully and cautiously pick up their weapons and walk forward at a slow pace.
Lu Chihuan had never dealt with this type of Zerg before, so he was not very confident.
But turned his head.
He saw Lu Minghe's calm and composed profile, and for some reason his heart calmed down in an instant. The anxiety and uneasiness that had been bubbling up like bubbles disappeared completely.
Just at this moment.
Lu Minghe turned his head and looked at him steadily, his eyes calm.
It seems to be saying——
Don't be afraid.
There I am here.
Lu Chihuan unconsciously clenched his fist against his lips to hide the smile at the corner of his lips.
He paid a small amount of attention to the road ahead, and pressed hard on the light blade with his right hand. However, for some reason, he felt a sudden chill on his back, as if his brain was sending a warning.
Tell him.
Something dangerous was approaching him rapidly.
He reflexively drew out his light blade and turned around to block, only to see dazzling sparks flying out.
I don’t know when—
A Zerg has already climbed to the top of the cave, and its entire body has changed to a color similar to that of the cave, like a chameleon.
At first glance.
I can't see any clues.
At this moment, it set its sights on Lu Chihuan, who seemed to have the best taste in the team, and wanted to launch a sneak attack when he was off guard. However, it did not expect that Lu Chihuan's reaction was so quick.
I actually had a back-and-forth fight with it.
Lu Chihuan wanted to find out the weakness of this Zerg, so he did not use his mental power. However, this was his first time dealing with this type of mutated Zerg.
therefore.
For a moment, I felt a little lost. After a few rounds of fighting, I finally regained some of my feeling. Compared with the Zerg I had dealt with before, the Zerg in this world fragment was more ferocious and brutal. Its outer skeleton was hardened and could not be penetrated at all.
The only thing that is fatal is the piece of cartilage at the tail. Once it is cut off, the animal will basically lose the ability to move and fall limply to the ground.
It was convenient for Lu Chihuan to finish off the opponent again.
But the Zerg might also know that this is the only weak spot in its body.
As a result, the cartilage is basically well protected during a fight. Therefore, if you want to cut off the Zerg's tail cartilage directly with one knife and kill it, it probably requires some technical means.
And this.
Not many of the elite men in the team can do this.
"Take it."
After Lu Chihuan cut off the Zerg's tail bone, he caught it with a specially made fine net and threw it to the other pirates for observation. "Take a close look at its characteristics and weaknesses."
"If you have a bottom line in your heart."
"It will be easier to deal with it later."
Soon Lu Minghe caught another Zerg, and handed the Zerg in his hand to Jinwu for scanning and analysis.
Didn't have to wait too long.
The analysis report compiled by Jinwu came out, which not only clearly analyzed the appearance structure and capabilities of the Zerg, but also highlighted the Zerg's weaknesses.
It even lists several plans for unity, cooperation and mutual coordination.
Lu Chihuan asked someone to try it.
Found that the effect is very good.
In short.
After all this operation, when they encountered the Zerg in the cave again, they were not as flustered as at the beginning. Instead, they seemed to be at ease in the fight and never fell into a disadvantage.
The elite members of his Ghost Star Pirates are basically divided into teams of three. Even if they are not as strong as Lu Chihuan and his men, if they cooperate with each other well, they can wear down the Zerg.
Just keep going like this.
Lu Chihuan and his team finally approached the interior of the insect nest.
