Chapter 51: Empress egg

It didn't take long to turn from the national highway to the road leading to Yangshan. Suddenly, a sharp, clear sound rang through the eardrum of Yunhai.
Looking up to the sky, he saw a giant bird with a wingspan of more than twelve or three meters coming from the south, and when it approached the highway, its speed suddenly slowed down.
The alien army turned a deaf ear, as if it did not exist, still calmly rushing towards Yangshan at the fastest speed.
Spreading its wings and hovering high in the sky, the strange bird followed the alien form from above, and the cold black pupil stared down.
The feathers of the whole body are black-gray, and they are closely attached to the body surface, which looks like keratinization.
The hook-shaped beak exudes a metallic texture under the sunlight.
A pair of giant claws are covered with ferocious scales, thick limbs are strong and powerful, and their pointed claws are like sky hooks, as if they can tear everything.
Yunhai's pupils contracted, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"It would be great if we could catch a host that could fly and let the worms parasitize the face!"
Human beings have a heart yearning for the sky, and the sea of ​​clouds is no exception.
No matter whether it succeeded or not, there was nothing wrong with a try, and he mentally ordered all aliens to stop.
More than a dozen messengers quietly ran into the grass on the side of the road, and silently climbed to the tree for the first time, ready to jump and ambush at any time.
The green python's profiled back arched slightly, ready to go.
The sharp beak opened slightly and there was another scream of tearing eardrums. When the alien army stopped, the giant bird did not dare to follow. The giant wings flapped and rolled up a gust of wind, and then flew north.
Before he could shoot the giant bird to provoke it, seeing it disappeared from sight instantly, Yun Hai held up the rifle angrily, and then ordered the alien army to pull again.
…………
He woke up from the coma, saw nothing, and went into darkness.
If it hadn't been for the sound of the fast-moving wind blowing through her ears, Qingpi thought she was still in a heavy coma and was not awake.
"This is where?"
In a trance, Qingpi almost forgot everything that happened before the coma.
A layer of goose bumps appeared on his naked body, and his waist was tightened by some things, but he felt his body undulate from time to time, just like riding a roller coaster.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched his waist, and then he felt cold and hard, like metal.
Suddenly, I felt something violently slammed towards the back of my head, and the green skin was shocked. Before I could make a sound, the unknown thing stopped attacking instantly.
"Don't try to cast any of your fire abilities, you know, failing to hurt them will kill you."
A voice sounded not far in front of him, cold and merciless.
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
Originally stretched out his hand and wanted to eject a little spark to borrow light, Qingpi suddenly lost this plan, and asked in a trembling voice.
There was no response. In the dark environment, even breathing was not heard.
"Did you save me? What are those monsters that can't die?"
Trying to think about the good side as much as possible, Qingpi asked again without giving up.
It was still silent, deathly silence in the space.
Forbearing the thought of igniting a spark, Qingpi wanted to control herself to calm down, but her trembling body did not follow the command.
After a short while, the silent progress finally stopped, and a large number of snakes spit their core-like "hiss" sound in his ears, strange and terrifying.
There was a faint smell of blood in the space, which originated from unknown fear invading the soul. Qingpi only felt his scalp numb, and gritted his teeth to control his urge to shout.
"Gluck..."
Can control the vocal cords, but can not control the teeth, Qingpi feels that he is about to collapse.
There was a crisp "ping" sound, and an aroma of wine instantly diffused. When the sparks burned "boom", he squinted his eyes slightly to avoid the fire, and saw a terrifying head close at hand...
"what!"
Qingpi, who had just stood on the ground with his feet, looked horrified, and opened his mouth with a strange cry that changed his tone and backed away.
"hiss……"
Salivating dripping to the ground, the tiger armor turned his head to look at Qingpi, as if he didn't understand why he made a fuss after seeing himself.
There was another cold body on his back, and the pale blue palms ignited as soon as he stretched out his palms, and he didn't wait for him to subconsciously shoot back...
The Lynx Alien standing behind Qingpi was not polite at all, and the sharp tail blade waved with sparks.
"Puff!"
The flesh was shattered, Qingpi's right hand was chopped off from his wrist, and the scarlet blood poured out like a fountain.
"what!"
Holding the broken wrist, Qingpi squatted his body, the big beads of sweat rolled off his forehead, his face twisted and screamed again and again.
"Don't try to challenge my patience, you don't have that qualification."
After lighting a pile of charcoal, Yunhai didn't even glance at Qingpi, and then walked towards the Alien Queen.
Once again, the blanket thickened a lot, sticky and heavy.
A large number of messengers lay silently around the alien queen, motionless.
In the corner of the fungus blanket, rows of abnormal eggs waiting to be parasitic are neatly placed.
Yun Hai glanced roughly, his gaze shifted to the Alien Queen.
Suddenly felt that something was wrong, he glanced at the watch subconsciously, turned his head and counted the alien eggs carefully, and was stunned.
After the ovipositor has grown, the egg laying rate of the alien queen has been maintained at one half an hour for the next few days.
Yunhai was in Yangshan that left around 8 o’clock last night, because during the day he went to hunt mutant blue pythons, and the bobcat and tiger armor guard aliens were injured to varying degrees. The aliens left behind did not catch the host and they all stayed in the nest. .
So when the sea of ​​clouds went down to the county seat, there were still nearly 30 alien eggs in the cave.
It was nine o'clock the next morning when he came back to Yangshan, which means he left Yangshan for a total of 13 hours.
One in half an hour, twenty-six alien eggs are born in thirteen hours.
In addition to the 30 or so left, there are nearly 60 alien eggs waiting to be parasitized.
Thirty messengers took thirty face-carrying worms to the county town. After subtracting these, at this time, there should only be thirty alien eggs left in the Yangshan alien nest.
However, in the alien nest at this time, there were nearly 20 alien eggs out of thin air.
"Are there any free eggs!"
This speculation emerged in his mind, but Yunhai rejected it instantly.
Even the immature face worms will have a faint spiritual connection with him. At this time, all the alien eggs are arranged neatly, and there are face worms among them.
"The queen's spawning speed has evolved!"
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility, Yun Hai couldn't help being overjoyed.
His gaze flicked over the alien egg, and suddenly, he found an abnormality again.
"what!"
Some people couldn't believe what they saw, Yun Hai walked over in a few steps.
The messenger's aliens were placed in an exceptionally neat manner, and among the large alien eggs, there was one unique.
The ordinary alien egg is flesh-colored, and a tan alien egg appears in the middle.
"The queen's face-bearing bug was born from such an alien egg!"
There was more information in his mind, and Yun Hai was ecstatic this time when he understood it instantly.
When the alien queen lays eggs, she will randomly give birth to a queen egg.
In both cases, the queen egg will hatch.
One is that when the alien queen is killed, the queen eggs laid by it will hatch immediately, and then parasitize the host in the shortest time, and become the alien queen, provoking the important task of the alien family to multiply.
The second situation is the emergence of a better host.
This excellence does not simply refer to how powerful the host is, but specifically refers to the mode of reproduction.
After all, for the special existence of the Alien Queen, reproducing in a faster and better way is the foundation to ensure the rapid growth of the Alien family.
The power of the alien family is that they can absorb the excellent genes of the host, and the faster and more effective way of reproduction is also a powerful and excellent gene category.
How to judge which host has a better way to reproduce depends on the autonomous judgment of the worm in the queen egg.
If such a host appears, the queen face worm will hatch.
Trouble appeared at the same time. In the information Yunhai obtained, within a certain range, there could not be two alien queens.
One mountain can't accommodate two tigers.
The existence of two alien queens at the same time will make more ordinary aliens fall into chaos.
The same status, there is no distinction between up and down, high and low.
If two alien queens diverge on the same matter, ordinary aliens have no way of judging which queen's order should be followed.
Under normal circumstances, alien queens with a backward reproduction method will drop the ovipositor and leave the territory of the new queen.
Until a suitable territory is found again, the ovipositor will grow and rebuild the race belonging to it.
There is also a rare situation, that is, two queens will fight, if the loser is not dead, it will leave to find a new territory, and the winner will rule the race.
Both situations are possible, depending on the environment.
If the alien clan has already built a nest, and the aliens that have reproduced form an absolute scale, then the two alien queens are likely to fight each other and decide the outcome.
If the environment of the alien race is very dangerous, they may be annihilated at any time, then for the development and growth of the race, a queen will take the initiative to leave to find a new territory.
This is also equivalent to diversion, as humans often say, not putting all the eggs in one basket.
One queen and ethnic group are destroyed, and another queen will reproduce a new ethnic group.
ps: Thanks to Archbishop Artanis and Fan Chen's ants for their reward and support. I will recommend it in half an hour. Next week is a tasteless recommendation, and it is also the last week of the new book list in the science fiction category. I hope everyone will support it and don't forget to vote for it!
