A few hours later, after barely recovering its quantum navigation capabilities and making contact with the Quayles, the Orville hurriedly returned to the territory of the Quayles.

Immediately afterwards, amid the following, response, protection and unabashed gloating of the Quill destroyer that came after hearing the news, the Orville, which ignored the advice and insisted on venturing into other people's forbidden areas, finally succeeded.

Silently escaped from the so-called Kalal area in the Nakraf area star region, which is the "portal to hell" and "dwelling place of demons" described in the Quill Codex.

They had to escape!

After all, in this incident, dozens of people on the Orville, including Lieutenant General Christie, were infected and turned into that terrible monster. Their conditions must be controlled and treated as soon as possible, plus that weird

The biological space station has been sending coordinates to the outside world, and it is likely that it will continue to attract more of the same weird and dangerous dark red biological warships, which is what Ed and others do not want to see.

Therefore, after receiving confirmation from John, the chief officer of the Engineering Department, Captain Ed immediately ordered the Orville, whose functions had not yet been fully restored, to run into the Quail airspace, and then use the Quail destroyer to

The escort escaped non-stop back to the Planet Alliance's star field, and successfully reunited with the Planet Alliance's medical research ship and a fleet of several frigates that came specifically to respond after receiving the news.

But...

Even with the support of the Planetary Alliance's most advanced medical research ship, the treatment of Lieutenant General Christie and others who were infected and transformed into monsters was not very smooth.

Because, according to the analysis of hundreds of the most professional team of doctors and experts on the Planetary Alliance medical research ship, they unanimously believe that Lieutenant General Christie and others have almost been completely transformed and become another species, and there is no longer any

It is necessary to continue the rescue.

They said that if emergency treatment and infection tissue separation were carried out immediately in the early stage of infection, those people would still have a certain chance of being cured, but is it still too late now?

So, after discussion, those so-called experts suggested that in addition to leaving a few living bodies for research, the rest of the infected crew members should be humanely destroyed, and then dissected and sectioned and retained as specimens for medical use?

Of course Captain Ed was very angry about that result and arrangement and tried his best to stop it based on reason.

But in the end, after Claire, who was also a doctor, and the officers of the Planetary Alliance Command took turns to persuade and explain to Ed, knowing that the matter was irreversible, he finally had to prepare to compromise in frustration.

He planned to be forced to accept that cruel reality, and was prepared to let his dozens of infected crew members and Lieutenant General Christie make the final sacrifice with the crew of the Orville and their families according to the time arranged by the command.

Farewell ceremony.

Once the ceremony is over, the infected crew members can only be euthanized and made into medical specimens by the eager doctors and experts on the medical research ship.

And fortunately!

Just the night before the farewell memorial service was about to be held, Captain Ed ran into the restaurant and drank heavily. Then, during the conversation, he drunkenly changed the topic and said something that he could only watch helplessly.

After those crew members and lieutenants died, but there was nothing she could do, surprisingly, Anne suddenly said that she was willing to help?

then!

Ed, who didn't expect things to take such a turn, of course contacted their commander immediately, and then explained the situation and explained that Anne was willing to help, and that those dozens of mutants were probably really

After still having a chance to be rescued, based on his trust in Ed and a certain bad little girl, the bad old man Halsey gave Ed one night and granted him extremely high authority to

Act cheaply.

However, the other party only gave Ed one night.

If there is no more evidence that Lieutenant General Christie and dozens of other people can be rescued before 8 a.m. the next day, then the memorial service will still be held on time.

At that time, the only fate waiting for those infected will be to be eliminated and made into specimens.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Ed certainly did not dare to delay after receiving the authorization. He took the shuttle boat with him to the medical research ship as quickly as possible, carrying the smell of alcohol and Anne who was willing to take action.

Immediately afterwards, Annie opened a space portal in front of everyone and allowed a ferocious-looking and terrifying Zerg life form, that is, the Zerg lord named 'Abathur' to come to the medical research ship

inside.

Then, after knowing his mission, Abathur did not hesitate, and directly stepped forward and faced the horrified gazes of Annie, Ed, and the team of doctors and experts who almost stared at him.

He bit into the thigh of the infected Lieutenant General Christie's 'monster', and after tearing off a large piece of tissue and meat, he just chewed and chewed it?

"ah!"

"New genes..."

"Eat flesh, chew bones... feel within me the essence of what you eat."

"Reorganize it!"

"Change it."

That Abathur was just like that, sighing and praising while eating under the eyes of everyone. She even pulled out another bloody bone from the thigh of the monster that the unlucky Lieutenant General Christie had turned into.

Put it in her mouth and chew it like jelly beans?

"!

"

"God damn it!"

"Ann, Annie?!"

"she……"

Ed, who had never thought that this would be the case, was of course so horrified that he took several steps back at a loss, and almost couldn't help but vomit out the alcohol and other liquids in his stomach overnight.

"Uncle Ed, just don't worry!"

ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas

"The Zerg clan is like this. Research, evolution, and analysis of genetic samples all depend on food!"

o(*?^?*)o

To be honest, Anne was already used to this.

"Don't think she's ugly, let me tell you, she is the highest-level genetic engineer among the Zerg clan. She is responsible for the evolution and upgrading of Zerg troops. She is amazing! As long as it is about biological genes, she can

There’s nothing she can’t handle!”

(゜▽＾*)

"They won't lie to you, just wait!"

(?^▽^?)

Anne didn't want to explain more, she just asked Ed to continue to wait patiently.

Because as far as Anne knows, the master of evolution, Abathur, is the oldest zerg in the swarm after the battle with Amon. He is also an ancient organism that has lived for who knows how long and has been in charge of the zerg

The position and capabilities of the 'evolutionary manager' are not mentioned.

The only bad thing is probably the bloody process of analyzing and analyzing genes.

After all, Abathur has always liked to use cruel and direct means to promote the evolution of the zerg, whether it is the swarm itself or the enemy. She has always liked to let the swarm directly absorb living tissue and dissolve its genes.

Ingredients and quickly reorganize individuals, just like the way of 'eating' in front of you?

Although Abathur's method is by no means the only way to evolve the swarm, she has been accustomed to using this method for many years after the death of the original zerg master, so it is not easy for Anne to interfere too much.

In fact, Anne herself can also use magic and other means to complete the treatment for those people. However, her method may not be understood by the humans of the Planet Alliance. Therefore, in addition to inviting people to come, she invites Abathur.

Come and do it in a way that experts can understand.

But now it seems that Abathur's method is still a little too 'avant-garde', so that even the people present, including the idiot Uncle Ed, don't seem to be able to accept it?

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"Is it really okay?"

"this……"

"This way is too..."

After shaking his head, Ed finally did not dare to finish his words and make more comments, because Abathur suddenly glanced in their direction, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but take a step back.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In this way, except for Anne who was standing in front, Ed just hid in the back with everyone, and kept staring at the so-called person who continued to chew and taste the disgusting tissue with strange and suspicious eyes.

'Genetic Engineer'.

Anyway, Ed has never seen any race of genetic engineers rely on 'eating' to understand other genes, and he believes that the doctors and experts behind him who are watching, discussing in low voices, and pointing fingers must not have either.

Seen it!

"very good!"

"Interesting genes and reproduction methods..."

finally!

After swallowing the mouthful of meat and bone marrow in one final gulp, Abathur licked his lips with satisfaction, then slowly turned around while praising with satisfaction.

Obviously, she was very satisfied with the 'reward' that Anne asked her to help and unexpectedly received this time?

"With it..."

"The insect swarm has taken another solid step on the road destined to occupy the universe and assimilate all things!"

Then, without any regard for Ed and other trembling humans, Abathur couldn't help but sigh in that hoarse tone.
To be continued...
