Vol 2 Chapter 91: Secretary and Giant Worm

The meeting did not last long. After all, although the species of giant worms have been determined now, no one has actually come into contact with them.
And Lorraine also hoped that Lucas would not hurt it for the time being, so the military has nothing to do.
The giant worm is ex1, from an unknown underground. The red lines on its back and the surface of the unk are the magma energy in the underground.
Now it has been determined that the worm came from the bottom of the eastern part of Luobing. The excavation works in the eastern part of Luobing were too frequent and too deep, and even changed the geology and attracted the worm.
ex1 is originally small, but it absorbs energy from the movement of the earth and the earth's crust to create a hard shell on its own, protecting itself from foreign enemies and magma. During the manufacturing process, it releases radiation energy, just like humans breathe oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
It is this kind of energy that changed the characteristics of the stone and turned it into an unk.
Luo Ran also absorbed the radiation of the insects to evolve into 3s or more, and the hair gene changed to silver.
Now that the eldest prince has fallen, no one wants to entangle the bug so that it can produce unk, and the second prince also gives the decision to Lucas, so Lucas has the final say.
In the end Lucas decided to take a look in person, Luo Ran insisted to follow.
The two got on the battleship and headed to the cave where ex1 currently resides.
Now they are on the border of Falling Ice, the place where they meet with the empire, not far from the city of Chonghua.
Relying on the outskirts of the city, relying on the snowy mountain where Luoran and Kliman discovered Siryl's walkie-talkie before, it is also the current stronghold of the stars, a new falling ice mine that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The first time I found the giant worm was in the snow mountain, it seems that it has not gone far now, it is still nearby.
It is also possible that the star bandits are still mining a large number of unk non-stop nearby, so the energy fluctuates too much and disturbs the bug.
Luo Ran and Lucas were in the aircraft, and Luo Ran sighed: "ex1, maybe it is our greedy materialized image. If it weren't for our excessive exploitation of resources, it would not come up, causing so much trouble."
"Yeah." Lucas said: "You will follow me closely later, you know?"
"I know." Luo Ran smiled: "Admiral, I have said many times. I can still work and act when I am pregnant. Don't take me away because of this."
"I want to take care of you." Lucas glared: "You are indeed vulnerable now!"
"Oh, here it is." Luo Ran turned off the subject and pointed to the window.
The outside gradually darkened, and they were slowly entering the cave.
Behind him was a large army, geological team and researchers.
The closer you get to the depths of the cave, the louder the sound of the sounder and the warning.
Lucas and Luo Ran boarded the light small aircraft and left the battleship.
Passing through a small passage, I saw a huge giant clinging to the rock wall of the cave, almost occupying the entire rock wall.
The giant insect has a square head, only one foot is as big as Lucas's small flying machine. On the back of the giant insect is a piece of hard armor with crimson glowing patterns on the hard armor.
The giant worm seems to be sleeping and making hard armor, and the surrounding stones are slowly turning silver.
Rustling...
Afterwards, the insect seemed to notice the presence of outsiders and moved his body.
dusty.
Then, the worm pounced towards Luo Ran's aircraft.
? !
Although the worm is big, its movements are not clumsy, just like a warrior.
However, creatures living under underground magma cannot be clumsy.
Everyone was taken aback, but they were ordered not to shoot at will, so they were just on guard and activated weapons, ready to fight.
The strange thing is that the bug didn't attack the victim, so it ran after Lucas and Lorraine's aircraft, using its feet to break through the glass of the aircraft, as if to grab Lorraine with Lucas.
Lucas manipulated the aircraft, flexibly avoided the bugs, and cursed in a low voice: "Grass! Its target is you."
"Yeah." Luo Ran frowned slightly.
"You have radiation on your body, it wouldn't want to eat you!" Lucas cursed: "Retreat! You evacuate first!"
After the army retreated from the small passage, Lucas planned to catch up. This is a mine specially found by Lucas and others, which is convenient for evacuation. Because it is too small, it will collapse after the bug catches up, thus blocking the road.
"and many more……!"
Luo Ran has been watching the insects carefully.
Since Xia Solstice said ex1, Luo Ran has carefully read and memorized the bug's habits.
This bug can actually breathe fire and attack the enemy, and if it is in a state of rage and attack, the lines on the back will be brighter, producing energy that sprays flames. But at this moment, the worm only used his feet, and it was not good at stopping him.
Luo Ran pressed his temple tightly.
Maybe he is a person who has absorbed the radiation of insects and survived. He is a humanoid unk, so he can feel the emotions and thoughts of insects.
"Admiral." Luo Ran held Lucas's hand and said: "We jump out."
"Are you crazy?"
"Trust me and jump out." Luo Ran said: "I will not put you in a dangerous situation."
"..."
Lucas said: "Okay, I changed the aircraft to mental driving mode, and we started the capsule together."
Lucas has absolute trust in Lauran.
"One……"
"two……"
Lucas dodges the insect's attack while cooperating with Luo Ran.
"three!"
"Boom!" The two of them were bounced out of the capsule and the parachute opened. At the same time, the glass of the aircraft was also broken by insect feet, which fell into powder because no one was controlling it.
Lucas wasn't worried. There were all small passages here. He could take Luo Ran and hide in, but the bugs could not get in.
After finding that Luo Ran had landed on the ground, the insect stopped attacking and looked at him in a daze.
Luo Ran couldn't find the eyes of the insect, but could feel being watched.
"..."
"..."
It was quiet all around, one person and one insect were looking at each other.
Lucas stood aside, placing his hand on the weapon on alert at any time.
For a moment, Luo Ran stretched out his hand.
The insect stretched its front foot.
Lucas: "..."
Luo Ran closed his eyes, felt it carefully, and then whispered: "It feels that I am its child and wants to take me underground."
The insects don't know that the human body cannot withstand the temperature of the earth.
"Why?" Lucas frowned, just feeling incredible.
"Because I am the result of his'pregnancy'."
"Will he someone?" Lucas didn't remove the gun from his waist.
"...I don't know, I only know that he won't hurt us or humans." Luo Ran touched the giant insect's front foot.
Luo Ran tried to take two steps back.
The worm rustled forward a little bit.
And, seeing the insect sticking out its huge feet, probably because he was afraid of alarming Luo Ran, he moved very little and slowly and put it on Lucas's shoulder.
Lucas: "?"
Lucas was also afraid of disturbing the bugs, so he didn't make a move, but frowned slightly.
Then, the bug pushed Lucas away.
Push away from Luo Ran.
Quite disgusting.
Lucas: "..."
Luo Ran smiled and said: "Admiral...We may have to rush out forcibly."
Although the bug would not hurt Luo Ran, he wanted to him away, and people couldn't go underground.
Luo Ran tried to use the spirit to communicate with the insect, but the insect could not understand.
"Okay." Lucas used the communicator hanging in his ear to contact the people outside and asked them to prepare the aircraft.
Wang Qiuyang sneaked in silently with the team,
Afterwards, Lucas changed the anesthesia gun, directly raised his hand and knocked down the bug unexpectedly, grabbing Luo Ran and rushing into the small passage.
"squeak--!"
The worm was so huge that the anesthetic could only last for a while, and then caught up.
The two of them jumped into the aircraft and rushed towards the exit.
"squeak----"
After the bug hit the passage, the passage collapsed, isolating it on the other side of the stone.
...
This trip is considered to be quite rewarding. The researchers collected odor samples and were able to conduct more in-depth investigations. Luo Ran also figured out the purpose of the bug.
As for how to deal with and respond, we have to wait for the detailed report of the researchers to see if there is any solution.
After Lucas knew the whole story, he didn't want to kill the bug, unless there was no other way.
"and this."
In the battleship, Luo Ran smiled and took out a small plant from his pocket.
The leaves are light blue with silver light, soft and small.
"What is this?" Lucas frowned.
Luo Ran said, "This is the plant that will grow in the unk cave. It is the food I ate in the cave when I was a child. I remembered it when I saw it just now."
Luo Ran also remembered what Xia Zhi said before, that all things grow and restrain each other.
The side effects of unk can’t be alleviated. He is a living example, who has absorbed radiation but can live to this day. The mental power is also injured because of Lucas, not because of radiation. But during the time before Luo Ran was in the cave, apart from drinking the cave water and eating the plant, he did nothing else.
"……Ok."
Lucas said in his heart, Luo Ran is quite capable...On the way to escape from the bug, he can still carry such a thing back quickly.
Luo Ran handed the leaves to the researchers and said with a smile: "I'm just waiting for Xia Xia's test results."
...
Xxxx
After returning to rest, Lucas and Luo Ran went to visit Rong An who was still in the warship ward.
Rong Duo also came.
Originally Rong Duo didn't join the army, but she wanted to come and see when she heard about it. Luo Ran made an exception and asked the team to her, so that she could also take care of Rong An on the battleship.
Pushing open the door, Luo Xingyuan was there.
"How is it?" Luo Xingyuan asked: "Is this trip smooth?"
Luo Ran replied: "It's okay, then I will wait for the test report, and then we will meet together to decide."
"Okay, don't be too tired." Luo Xingyuan glanced at Luo Ran's stomach.
After Luo Xingyuan learned the news, the face that had been calm for the past few days because of Rong An finally smiled.
That is his precious niece or niece.
Rong Duo looked at the head of the bed and finally woke up after being in a coma for a few days. Rong An, with half of his face covered in bandages, made his eye sockets red.
Rong Duo held a pot of hot soup, shrugged his shoulders and cried.
"brother……"
Rong Duo choked: "I, I..."
"It's okay." Rong An said helplessly: "Xiao Duo come here."
"Uuuuu..." Rong Duo shivered: "I'm sorry I seem to have lost...hiccup, polite...u..."
"It's really okay. Doctor Xia and the others said that prostheses can also walk." Rong An rubbed Rong Duo's hair and said, "Don't cry, Secretary Luo is going to laugh at you."
"Hiccup..." Rong Duo leaned against Rong An's shoulder, burying his head in his chest and gasped.
"It's okay." Luo Ran smiled: "I haven't officially thanked Adjutant Rong."
Luo Ran bowed deeply towards Rong An.
"Thank you for saving me."
Lucas also said, "Thank you, Rong An."
It was Rong An who protected his Luo Ran.
"It's really okay." Rong An was flattered: "Many other soldiers were injured more severely than me. I'm already very good. It really doesn't matter. Secretary Luo doesn't care about it in the future. Others will do it. , This is my responsibility."
"Thank you anyway." Luo Ran said seriously: "I will definitely help if there is anything in the future."
"That, that..." Rong Duo was still very excited at the moment, blushing and choked, "Is my brother unable to continue to be an adjutant..."
Rong An is now disabled, and even if the prosthesis can walk, he can no longer perform the duties of an adjutant.
Rong Duo turned his head and looked at Luo Ran with red eyes and said, "Can Secretary Na Luo help to dispatch his brother to the logistics?"
Rong Duo knew that if Rong An didn't work in the military department, he would be sad.
Rong An frowned and stopped saying: "Xiao Duo, we will..."
"I take care of him." Luo Xingyuan suddenly said.
Rong Duo was stunned, and Rong An was stunned.
Luo Xingyuan said earnestly: "Don't worry, Xiaoduo, I will take care of your brother from now on. If I don't become an adjutant, I will also have many other clerical jobs."
"what……?"
Rong An frowned and said, "You don't need..."
"I said, I will take care of you in the future." Luo Xingyuan ignored Rong An, but smiled at Rong Duo: "Can you?"
"...Okay, okay?" Rong Duo was stunned, realizing that Luo Xingyuan's care seemed to be more than just the care of the boss to his subordinates.
Perhaps Rong Duo never thought that she would become relatives with Luo Ran in her life.
...
After leaving the room, Lucas touched his chin thoughtfully.
"What's the matter, Admiral?"
Lucas said: "Rong'an calls your brother by the name, "you"."
"..."
Lucas turned his head and complained a little bit: "But you are using the general and you."
"..."
Luo Ran said helplessly: "It's been too many years, I can't change my mind."
"Then change it now."
Lucas sternly said: "Call my name."
Luo Ran paused for a moment, and said stiffly: "Lucas..."
Lucas was like a lion eating meat, exuberantly said: "Yes!"
"..."
"Call again!"
"...Don't make trouble."
"Then call my brother." Lucas blocked the person on the wall and said fiercely: "Quick, call Brother Lucas."
"..."
Got an inch.
"Lucas... brother." Luo Ran was helpless, lowered his head and red ears and said: "Okay, Admiral, there are people coming and going in the corridor."
"Then you have to call me Lucas from now on, you can't be used."
Luo Ran glanced at Lucas, and suddenly he felt a little tricky.
"Go... Lucas."
"Ok?"
"I use you because..." Luo Ran smiled and said, "You are in my heart."
"..."
"Soil love, learned from you." Luo Ran raised an eyebrow.
"..."
The imperial lion flushed his face.
