Card Room - 296. Chapter 427-428

[Chapter 427, Memory Reappearance]

When Lu Jiuchuan woke up, he found that he was lying on the sofa. Tang Ci hadn’t woken up beside him. His face was pale, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his forehead was constantly in cold sweat, as if he had fallen into a terrible nightmare.

The fragment that flashed in my mind just now, is it a dream or a memory recurrence?

Lu Jiuchuan took a step forward, gently held Tang Ci’s hand, and whispered: “Xiao Tang, wake up.”

Tang Ci was struggling in the nightmare, and suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him, he was struggling to wake up from the nightmare, and met Shang Lu Jiuchuan’s deep eyes.

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

Tang Ci broke out in a cold sweat, sweat soaked through his shirt, and even his hair was wet. The bloody scenes in his dream made him shiver uncontrollably. He took the water glass with trembling fingers, and took a few sips in a hurry.

The warm water slid across his throat, his body gradually warmed, and Tang Ci finally recovered his mind. He looked at Lu Jiuchuan, his voice was a little hoarse after waking up: “Brother Nine, I had a nightmare just now.”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “Me too.”

The two looked at each other, and Tang Ci quickly reacted: “If the content of our dreams are 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 the image that flashed through my mind when I was in a coma, maybe it was just a dream. But what if the dreams of two people are the same? That proves that everything in the dream is a real event that they have experienced together.

Lu Jiuchuan said solemnly: “On February 17, 3000, my immediate superior, General Lin Zecheng, suddenly summoned me and asked me to destroy the low-level zerg on a black planet in the Hilt no man’s land and occupy that one. Precious resource star.”

Tang Ci continued his words and said: “You return to the Arrows Corps on the afternoon of the 17th and tell me to leave on the 19th to the Hilt no man’s land, so that I can prepare. I asked you what the task was, and you said very easily. To kill some bugs.”

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he looked at Lu Jiuchuan and said, “Brother, don’t you remember that we met once on February 18th. You said you were going to perform the mission, and you won’t be back after a long time. I asked you about the mission’s status. Your special mission must be kept secret, you didn’t tell me… the time is just right.”

Accepted the task on the 17th, said 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: “Neither Brother Nine nor Mr. Tang have experienced the 8 of Spades Secret Chamber, and they have never seen this kind of zerg, so they will underestimate the enemy and have an accident while performing missions in the Hilt no man’s land? ”

Lu Jiuchuan said with a stern face: “General Lin told me that there are little bugs on this planet, and there are no intelligent creatures. So, at the beginning, we didn’t take the little bugs to heart. After we came here, we dropped them on the planet. A lot of gun-powder, originally intended to burn the Zerg to death, resulted in an upgrade of the Zerg integration.”

Recalling those experiences, Tang Ci’s face turned pale: “I remember those Zerg races evolved their flying ability, and the vanguard troops we sent out were wiped out. Although the bugs were afraid of fire, the number was too large, so they used insects directly. The sea tactics flooded us, piercing our mechs with sharp wings, and even piercing the protective shield of the starship!”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “A lot of people died in the legion, and I was helpless and sent an emergency letter for help to the military.”

Tang Ci continued: “Later, a woman’s voice suddenly warned us that we should bury her people… It should be the queen of the Zerg? The voice we heard just now is the same as the female voice in our memory.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “What happened later? How did you escape with so many Zerg?”

Lu Jiuchuan pressed his temple firmly. He recalled carefully for a moment, and then said: “Someone should have rescued us. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. The Zerg army had broken through the defensive cover of our starship and even destroyed the balance system. Unable to take off, more and more Zerg entered the starship to fight with our soldiers, Xiao Tang’s legs…”

When he said this, he stopped abruptly.

In his memory, he watched Tang Ci’s legs with his own eyes, and was severed by the sharp claws of the Zerg.

There was blood all over the floor.

Tang Ci fainted in pain, Lu Jiuchuan was about to split, rushed to hug Tang Ci tightly…

In fact, Tang Ci’s leg was broken in Meihua J’s Nightmare Chamber. Only Tang Ci knew what happened at the 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 had good legs at the beginning, and was cut off by the Zerg when he landed on Jiuchuan.

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

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

He usually picked up the assault-gun, aimed at the swarm, and fired fiercely!

Seeing clusters of flames shot out of the barrel, the zergs were startled and frightened, and the harsh screams resounded through the starship, and the zergs that came from behind attacked Lu Jiuchuan even more frantically.

Lu Jiuchuan’s shoulder was poked a big hole by the claws of the zerg, and the blood was flowing. He didn’t feel any pain at all. He just wanted to kill the zerg and die with them!

It’s a pity that he can’t deal with so many Zergs alone.

Before long, he fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Lu Jiuchuan felt his consciousness gradually blurred. He crawled over with difficulty, hugged Tang Ci, who had passed out, choked up and said, “Xiao Tang, I killed you… But I can die with you. Together, it’s not bad.”

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

The sound seemed to come from the distant sky, like the sound of heaven…

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

When the teammates saw this action, they looked puzzled.

Tang Ci knew why Brother Nine would hug himself suddenly. He remembered that at the moment his legs were severed and the pain was about to faint, he saw the man rushing to hug him like a mad beast, and he let out a painful roar, that was the last picture in his memory. .

Lu Jiuchuan must be very broken, and now thinking of those pictures, his emotions are normal.

Tang Ci stretched out his hand and gently touched Lu Jiuchuan’s back like a hair, and said softly, “It’s okay, didn’t I stand here properly? Both legs have been cured, so you don’t have to feel sorry for me.”

Lu Jiuchuan is not sad, he is just heartbroken.

He suddenly thought of how difficult it would be for Tang Ci to lose his legs in Meihua J’s nightmare secret room and insist on surviving by himself. At that time, he was not by Tang Ci’s side… Let Tang Ci face the pain and fear of losing his legs alone, which was the biggest regret in his life.

Perhaps the gatekeeper deliberately replayed the scene of Tang Ci breaking his leg in front of him, just to torture him and let him know clearly how terrible nightmare Tang Ci had experienced.

He would rather be the one who had his limbs amputated than himself, and he didn’t want Tang Ci to suffer that kind of sin again.

Lu Jiuchuan tightened his arms and hugged Tang Ci firmly. The body temperature of the person in his arms made him feel at ease. It was good that Tang Ci was still by his side and his legs had recovered… He secretly swore, even if he was desperate. , Don’t 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 passed out, I was also injured in the fight with the Zerg. My consciousness was gradually blurred due to excessive blood loss, and I was in a coma. I heard a strange song before. I thought I was dying. I heard the song from heaven. Now it seems that the song should be real.”

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

Yu Hanjiang said, “Could it be from the people who saved you?”

Without knowing that these zergs were highly intelligent creatures, Lu Jiuchuan set fire to many zergs to death. The queen was furious and told them to be buried with all of them. It is impossible to easily let them go.

The people who show up at the critical moment and save them are the focus.

Xiao Lou sorted out the order of time, and said, “Brother Nine sent a distress signal to the military department. The nearest legion cannot arrive within a few minutes. Therefore, it is definitely not the imperial legion that saved you.”

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: “The military’s statement is that we were attacked by alien creatures in the Hilt no man’s land. We were killed and injured. The passing friendly army rescued us, but the actual situation is definitely not the case.”

Who saved Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci?

The only things Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci can recall are these. What happened after the coma, the two had no memory, and Xiao Lou and the others naturally couldn’t know.

Standing next to the porthole, Chu Huaying looked at the black planet at her feet, and suddenly said: “I have been wandering between the stars since I was a child. There are Zergs in Hilter’s no man’s land. I also heard from my parents. This shows that humans are not. It’s not the first time on the planet Zerg. Do you remember the Queen’s warning just now?”

She repeated: “Invading the Zerg homeland and slaughtering my people, you humans, have you not done enough evil these years?”

Shao Qingge frowned slightly: “The evil done over the years… It seems that before Brother Nine, humans have slaughtered the Zerg? When I was talking to the queen just now, I could clearly feel her anger and her anger towards humans. The hatred is extremely strong, and the 8 of Spades Secret Room Zerg invades the human city. Will it also be related to this matter?”

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, and this attracted the Zerg’s revenge?

That time the 8 of Spades Secret Chamber, the entire human city fell. Except for dozens of surviving challengers, tens of millions of humans were almost all infected by the Zerg and became puppets of the Zerg.

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

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more he felt cold in his heart. He said, “This starship of Huaying was made according to the form of the Zerg. The seniors on this Star Pirate ship must have landed on the planet of the Zerg. Or, look for other stars. Take a look at the pirate investigation?”

Chu Huaying simply nodded: “Okay, I will call everyone over for a trial.”

******

【Chapter 428, The Past】

Chu Huaying has lived on the Dark Night starship for 28 years. In her memory, she has been wandering between the stars with her parents since she was a child. Unfortunately, her parents passed away early. The Dark Night starship never landed on the Zerg planet again. It is also half-knowledge.

Chu Huaying gave an order, and more than 30 Star Pirates on the Star Pirates ship were all concentrated in the command room.

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

Most star thief knew only a little bit. They heard from their parents that there were bugs on this planet. No one knew what the bugs were. The scene of the Zerg integration just now made many people pale with fright.

Yu Hanjiang’s interrogator was more professional than Chu Huaying. He was standing next to Chu Huaying wearing a mask, carefully observing the expressions and movements of these star thiefs. When Chu Huaying interrogated an old man with gray hair, Yu Hanjiang suddenly leaned in her ear and said: “When this old man heard about the Zerg planet, his eyes dodged and his right hand was subconsciously retracted behind his back. He obviously knew something.”

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

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

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

She walked to the other party and said Wen Yan: “Uncle Qin, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. Now I am the captain of the Dark Night starship. I should have the right to know some secrets? Otherwise, I am like today. , Accidentally driving the starship to the Zerg planet again, wouldn’t it hurt everyone?”

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

Chu Huaying said: “The worms suddenly flew over to attack us just now. What is the reason? The Zerg queen said, “We humans have not done enough evil over the years… Do you know what she means? Can you tell me?”

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

“We were taken aback. Just about to take up a weapon, we were stopped by the former captain. The zerg did not attack us, but just watched us curiously. The captain said that we have only 30 people, and we don’t know this. The ability of the Zerg, don’t hurt the aboriginal races here, it’s best to communicate and negotiate with them.”

“But humans and Zerg languages do not understand. We don’t know how to negotiate. We talked for a long time. Those Zergs just circled around us curiously and didn’t give any response. So the captain thought of an idea and he took the initiative to approach the Zerg. He happened to have a wound on his hand, and the bugs crawled into his body along his wound…”

Chu Huaying’s expression changed: “Then what? He became a Zerg?”

“No, he conquered the Zerg living in his body.” Speaking of the captain, the old man’s face couldn’t help but a look of admiration, he coughed, and then said: “The amazing thing is that the captain has the ability of the Zerg. , And he can understand Zerg’s language. He went to talk to the Zerg queen and told her that we were just taking some ore that was waste to the Zerg but extremely precious to us.”

“Did the queen agree?”

“She agreed.” The old man said, “Those minerals are rubbish to the Zerg, but they can help humans make war armor. Coincidentally, the nutrient solution we carry to cultivate plants can help the queen accelerate the reproduction of the bacteria blanket. ”

There is indeed a greenhouse on the Dark Night starship, which is specially used to grow vegetables and fruits. After all, Star Pirates have been wandering in the universe for a long time and cannot always eat compressed biscuits. Nowadays, with advanced technology, nutrient solutions have been fully popularized, which can accelerate the growth of crops, and a Chinese cabbage can mature in just a few days.

Unexpectedly, this nutrient solution actually works for the Zerg?

Suddenly a bold conjecture appeared in Xiao Lou’s mind. He asked: “So, you reached an agreement with the Zerg Queen. You provide nutrient solution to help her reproduce the fungus blanket. She allows you to mine the minerals on the planet?”

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

Chu Huaying said indifferently: “They have decided to join Star Pirates. They are their own people. Don’t worry about it, Uncle Qin.”

The old man nodded, and then said: “We are at peace with the Zerg on this planet, and we have designed a new starship in the shape of the Zerg. After that, we mine a lot of ore to sell, and continue to deliver nutrient solution to help the queen remove the bacteria. The blanket covers the entire planet. Those three years were the best three years that our Star Pirates team had had…”

In the following plot, Chu Huaying can almost guess: “You sell a lot of precious ores, and the profits you make make many people jealous. They will definitely wonder about the source of the ores and find a way to trace you?”

Old Uncle Qin closed his eyes in pain, clasped his fists and said: “Yes. We were tracked by anti-reconnaissance drones when we went to the Zerg planet to mine ore. This hidden resource star was controlled by the Resources Department of the Roc Empire. The Minister found out. Then, he asked the military headquarters to send a legion to destroy the Zerg and occupy the resource star…”

Recalling the scenes of that year, Old Uncle Qin trembled all over, and he choked and said: “The star thief died and injured countlessly. In the end, only a few people were left driving the starship to escape, including me and your parents.”

Chu Huaying frowned and said, “In other words, the Imperial Military Department found this resource star by following you. Because the planet is too rich in minerals, they don’t know that the Zerg is a sapient creature, so they simply send troops to destroy it?”

Old Uncle Qin said: “Yes, after all, in their eyes, we star thief should have been wiped out. We are occupying resource stars to make huge profits. Of course, they want to take us and the Zerg away… But they didn’t expect the Zerg to be so terrible. They failed to destroy the Zerg, but the Zerg resisted desperately, almost completely wiped out the troops they sent. Only a few people survived and fled in the fastest S-class armor.”

Xiao Lou asked: “Where is your old captain?”

Old Uncle Qin was silent for a moment, and whispered: “I was arrested.”

“In other words, the captain who merged with the Zerg was captured by the military and returned to the Capital Star?”

“Yes, after he merged with the Zerg, he evolved a very strong ability. He would not have been arrested, but he sent too many troops at that time. To protect us, he drove his armor to fight, the combat capability of the elite troops of the Empire. It’s also very strong. It directly trapped the captain’s armor with an electromagnetic net and took 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 lightly and said: “Since the old captain often chats with the queen after merging with the Zerg, the Zerg queen has also learned the human language. When we drove away in the starship, I heard her say that humans should not step into the Zerg anymore. Half a step on the planet, otherwise 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 a look of regret: “If I knew that you actually ran to the planet of the Zerg today, I would definitely stop it! Huaying, stop being so impulsive, the Zerg is not easy to provoke!”

Chu Huaying nodded: “Thank you Uncle Qin, I see, you can go back and rest.”

After the old man left, everyone took off the mask.

Everyone’s faces are very ugly.

Ye Qi concluded: “The star thief accidentally discovered that there are minerals needed by humans in the Zerg territory, and negotiated with the Zerg for mutual benefit… However, the star thief became more greedy and sold more and more minerals, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Resources. After discussing with the military, the Ministry of Resources of the Empire decided to eliminate the Star Thieves and the Zerg, and occupy the resource star, but it triggered a fierce resistance from the Zerg. In the end, both were defeated. The leader was captured; the army was almost wiped out?”

If the military department were able to relax and negotiate with the Zerg Queen, tragedy would not have occurred.

However, when seeing these seemingly “weak” bugs for the first time, human beings are born with the arrogance of “higher creatures”, and they will subconsciously feel that… isn’t it just some low-level bugs? Burn out in a fire, this planet is ours.

The fact has given them a headache.

Ye Qi’s summary made the teammates feel heavy, especially Lu Jiuchuan, who had suffered a loss, was even more regretful. 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, which is the year when Noah’s Ark plans to restart.”

In 2977 of the ephemeris, the star thief discovered the Zerg planet, sold minerals, and made huge profits. It took three years of nourishment.

In the Ephemeris 2980, the Star Thief was tracked by the military department. The military department implemented an extermination plan. It failed to eliminate the Zerg and almost wiped out the entire army. The only gain was the capture of the former leader of the Star Thief who merged with the Zerg.

In the same year, Noah’s Ark plans to restart.

Could it be a coincidence?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, “The first Noah’s Ark project in Ephemeris in 2975 failed because of a problem with the culture medium. The copied children did not live long and the experiment was forced to stop. We have been wondering why in 2980. The plan will be restarted, and now it seems that this plan restart is greatly related to the discovery of the Zerg!”

What a coincidence in time!

It happened that that year humans suffered a loss on the planet of the Zerg race, and it happened to catch the head of a star thief who was fused with the Zerg race. It didn’t take long for Noah’s Ark plan to restart and invest 3 billion to study the clone again.

Xiao Lou and the others have long speculated that the plan to restart is because the experimental technology has been greatly improved, and now it seems that this improvement may also be inspired by the Zerg.

Yu Hanjiang followed his words and speculated: “Human cultivation of vegetable and fruit culture fluid can accelerate the reproduction of the Zerg bacteria blanket. So… can the Zerg gene also accelerate human development?”

Xiao Loudao: “If this is the case, the scientists will definitely take the captured star thief to do experiments. Maybe they have extracted the Zerg gene from him and added some gene fragments to the gene sequence of the replicating human cell?”

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, clenched his fist tightly, and tremblingly said: “The reason why the second experiment was so smooth, the copied child can grow up quickly, and is the same age as the original-because the crazy scientist, He actually hybridized and modified human genes!”

When the teammates heard this, they only felt a chill in their backs.

Add the Zerg gene to the human gene sequence. What if it mutates? Are they crazy? !

Most of the clues are connected, okay, good night!
