? A "T" shaped battlecruiser with the human characteristics of the Hero Federation is slowly sailing in the deep space of the Milky Way in the Mass Effect World. They are flying faster than the speed of light, heading to the next Mass Effect repeater in order to Able to accurately jump to the Paravin galaxy of the Turians to meet their great Master Anne.

Until now, so many days have passed, they still have not obtained a complete star map of the Milky Way. What kind of huge work is still in the process of comparison and improvement... and the backward star maps provided by the Star Alliance are completely unbearable. use!

Because those guys from the Star Alliance or other races will only use ready-made mass effect repeaters to jump, and there is no such perfect space and jumping technology as the humans, zergs or protoss in the star zone. , Their technology is actually fueled by the harvesters and the previous Proxians. Although it looks very advanced, it is actually a periodical growth and a very unreasonable development model!

Therefore, the humans and protoss in the star area can only slowly expand the star map by themselves. In addition to slowly jumping from the solar system to explore the route of the star map, they can only learn from the world. The Star Alliances use those mass effect repeaters to assist in jumping so that they can quickly get where they want to go.

And this spaceship on the way, its painting is different from the general human battleships and battlecruisers in the stellar zone: it is not the metal black color, but the very recognizable fiery red paint. In addition, there is a complete, hideous burning bear on the ship...

That's right, it is the ship that Annie used to be in the star zone-the "Führer" magic battlecruiser!

however……

"Uh!"

In this extraordinary battlecruiser, the bridge of this magical warship with invincible combat power is filled with a stinky smell of alcohol...a sloppy, sloppy, sloppy leg lying on the captain’s leather seat On the chair, he covered his face with the dirty federal navy general's cap, and he was wearing a general uniform with no rank on him, but the unshaven man with an empty wine bottle in his hand burped abruptly.

Puff!

The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and then the old man who was lying reclining in the captain's position slumbered aloud.

"Little boys, hurry up and work hard!"

"Don't think that I'm drunk, you can treat me as if I don't exist? Does I seem to be that kind of patient? Hurry up, speed it up! Keep speeding up! Speed ​​up fiercely!!"

"I have to hurry up to the Palevin galaxy of that **** Turian, and then beat the reapers all over the ground, let them know that Captain Planck is amazing!!"

I remembered with a loud noise, after the wine bottle fell to the ground with a loud sound, the drunk Captain of the Führer Planck threw off the general cap on his face and pulled off the collar of the uniform, revealing It was the chest and brown body hair that were uncomfortable and shouted at the federal elite officers who were sticking to their posts.

He obviously drank a bottle of wine, and slept beautifully, but he didn't think that these idiots hadn't even sailed his precious spaceship to the destination, it is really unreasonable! Therefore, he subconsciously felt that they must be lazy, and they had to scold them severely!

"..."

"..."

However, none of the men and women and crew members of the Federation who are busy in their respective positions pays attention to their captain. Obviously, they seem to be used to it, and they don't take it too seriously?

"Sir!"

"As the captain, you should lead by example, rather than abuse the crew after getting drunk like this!!"

Lengtouqing must be everywhere!

No, before Planck found the bottle of wine that he didn't know where it fell, he heard a stern scream reprimanding himself on the crime?

"you are……"

Staring at the opponent up and down with his drunken eyes for a while, however, he did not recognize him.

"Well?"

"It's so rare! Why don't I remember that there is still you on my boat... First Mate? Little bastard, who are you?!"

After Planck looked at the opponent’s military rank and hat and knew the opponent’s position, he felt a little strange...Since the opponent is the first mate, where is the first mate who never dared to talk back to him? ?

This is really the opposite!

His Uncle Planck's boat, mixed with newcomers, he didn't even know? !

"Report to the captain!"

"My name is Salvatore. I just graduated from the Fleet Command of the Haven Star Federal Military Academy! Before I came to this world, I was assigned to your'Führer' for an internship! I have reported to you before Yes, but you are drunk!"

In fact, Salvatore did perform a complete boarding report process before, but unfortunately, their captain was drunk... In fact, the other party spent a long time together in the past few days. The state of the earth, so it is normal not to know his existence.

"..."

"Forget it! Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, and it doesn't matter which **** you are arranged on Lao Tzu's boat as a bachelor!"

"At that time, boy, you listened to Laozi: Never disturb anything about my Uncle Planck, do you understand?"

Planck doesn’t bother to remember the opponent’s name. He only needs to know that there is such a person. As for the others, it doesn’t matter to him, even if the opponent is the second player who has been assigned to him in the melee. Don't care for him!

"Yes, sir!"

The first officer nodded and saluted a little bit angrily.

"well……"

"Don't worry, Uncle Planck won't let you die easily, so learn it! Uh...In other words, where are we now?"

Planck raised his eyes and looked at the star map. It was an unfamiliar galaxy. Their Führer seemed to be moving towards a certain position at high speed?

'report! ’

‘We are on our way to the Turian Paraven Galaxy! ’

I don't know which officer suddenly said such a sentence, making Planck scratch his head when he was just waking up from a hangover... He had a bit of drinking, and suddenly forgot what they were doing to Palevin now.

"Well……"

"Good job! Keep going up!"

Since I didn't remember what it was to go to that place called Palevin, a little bit of encouragement is always right!

"what!"

Soon, Planck sat back on his captain's throne again, and then took out the smaller pocket hip flask from one of his pockets, closed his eyes and took a big mouthful.

"..."

"Sir, I don't understand... With your qualifications and achievements, you can be promoted to a federal general, but now..."

After the first officer finished speaking, he looked at the other party's face somewhat hesitantly, not knowing whether he should continue speaking.

He made a special trip to check the resume of this federation veteran. Although there are some secrets that cannot be seen with his authority, the other party should not be mixed up as far as he can see...Although the other party's position is still a face and The captain of the most advanced (or the most magical?) of the magic warship "Führer", but the rank is empty, which shouldn't be...

He felt that with the other party's qualifications, even if it was worse, it shouldn't be emptied like it is now! So, he doesn't understand?

"Huh? Hahahaha!"

Planck suddenly laughed out loud, his voice very proud and arrogant.

"Stop talking nonsense! Boy, hurry up, you are here to take over the job of the captain temporarily, and let Lao Tzu go back to sleep first!!"

After speaking, Planck drank the spirits in the trimmed metal bottle in one sip, then stood up swayingly, and then left the captain's room directly.

"..."

The first officer didn't understand, why did the other person's expression suddenly change, and the mood was a little bit lonely?

‘Sir! I advise you never to mention this matter again! ! ’

At this time, a kind crew member said in a low voice.

"Why then? Do you know?!"

‘...’

'Anyway, you will know in the future, so let me just say: Not long ago, Captain Planck drove this spaceship alone to kill his enemies and the pirates who robbed the passenger ship and killed his family. The enemy’s entire space station was blown up...'

"?!"

"It's a good thing to wipe out pirates, why should we be punished?"

‘The problem is that the entire space station’s people are all dead, and no one is alive! It even includes a lot of civilians and agents of our Federation... So, in the end this is it...’

‘After that, Captain Planck liked drinking more...’

‘Isn’t it? ’

‘If this person has no hope, it would be nice to just become our captain! ’

‘But the captain’s method of venting his anger is indeed a bit too much...’

‘Shit! We gave up our lives on the front line to kill the enemy, but our family disappeared when we came back. Can you not be crazy if you replace it with you? ! ’

‘So this matter is only handled internally. Isn’t the captain just removed from his rank? Wait, after the reapers of this world have finished cleaning up, the staff will definitely reinstate him! However, I am afraid that he is unlikely to be transferred back to the star area...’

‘...’

‘Under war, there is no wrongdoing... Therefore, the peaceful reunification of our Kepulu region is our greatest luck! ’

'Yes! Didn’t the bugs slaughter at least billions of people in our Tyronn Empire? ’

‘Hush! Shut up! Let's talk about this kind of thing that destroys unity, but it will be punished! ’

‘...’

‘Yes, I hope the captain can make it through soon, right? ’

'Ugh……'

Without waiting for the new chief mate to have any opinion, the crew members started talking in a low voice until they accidentally touched a sensitive topic, and then they all fell silent.

——————

Huh! Huh!

When the last bullet in the pistol was shot out, the female soldier of the Star Alliance, Ashley, was a little sluggish... she could only hold the slightly overheated M-6 pistol in her hand blankly and watched. The disgusting bug lying on the ground still shaking his head.

The other party, there is still nothing...

She just breathed a sigh of relief and hit the mass effect pistol barrel in her hands red and the alarm sounded! But who ever thought that even the opponent's carapace was not broken? And if it were replaced by the kind of Reaper monster with a shield, after she shot so many bullets, the shield should have been broken, and the body would be directly broken into a pile of broken pieces. ?

"!?"

"How can there be such a strange thing, it shouldn't be like this..."

Ashley did not continue to try to attack, because she had clearly seen: There is not even a little white mark on the carapace of that larva so far!

Such hardness and toughness are already obvious!

And since she shot so many shots and couldn't break it, then, even if she continues to shoot, it must be futile... But what she doesn't understand is that she obviously sees a lot of that will jump. , And the Zergling with a pair of small wings and the snake-like monster that sprays spines like a snake. They obviously have many killed and injured by the reaper, but now, this humble insect Why is it so weird?

"Haha! Look, it was bounced away, right?"

"No matter how you shoot, it's useless, it's very powerful!"

o(^▽^)o??

Even if she has never attacked this kind of bug alone, Annie can see the toughness of the opponent's carapace at a glance, and this is the reason why she was so gloating just now, allowing this big sister Ashley to face the bug. The reason for shooting!

This kind of bug is actually not impossible to kill, but it has been protected by the Zerg. If you want to hurt them, you need to find a way, such as picking the weaker joints, mouthparts and so on. Instead of shooting randomly at the opponent's carapace.

‘I warned you just now, Ms. Ashley...’

'You don't need to show that expression, let me tell you: I used to bet with people, at that time, I used my big sword to cut it... Then, I lost a month's salary... '

At this time, the Galen holographic image in the communication also comforted Ms. Ashley, who was generally speaking to the Star Alliance. Thinking of the game he used to bet against the larvae, his face is still a little dark... Obviously, he has been pitted once, but now he has a deep memory!

"Look, what are they doing now?"

At this time, Liara, the Ashali who had been silently observing the movement of the bug, couldn't help but exclaimed.

It turned out that she discovered: those strange bugs with wings like wing membranes, the guys who can fly without relying on flapping wings, are now beginning to spread a weird layer on the land of Menel. The dark red matter, I don't know what they are doing...Those things like blankets, as if they have life, began to slowly spread on the ground and slowly expand around the earth.

‘That thing is called a fungus blanket! ’

‘At that time, a biochemical substance that nourishes and maintains the swarm colony, on the top, they can heal Zerg units and provide speed bonus...Of course, there are some more magical effects! ’

Galen, who was once hostile to insects, is certainly familiar with everything about them!

After all, they have already studied all the habits and peculiarities of the other party, whether it is the reproduction method of the insects, the type of troops, the genetic evolution, the nest building, etc., they have a more detailed understanding! Not to mention that now, after the star area has been unified and has fought side by side many times, their understanding of the Swarm by the humans and the Protoss has become more in-depth.

He couldn't imagine that those Zerg buildings were actually just giant organs and organisms!

And the colonies on the entire Zerg planet, no matter how large or small, are linked together by a fungus blanket, they are just a part of a living creature! It can be said: a complete swarm colony, it is a huge independent individual creature!

That's right, it's just one!

An independent insect swarm base, whether it is a small area or the kind that covers the entire planet, they are actually just a creature, not a group! A huge building like that kind of insect swarm, whether it is a hatchery, a split pond, a worm den, an infected abyss, a main nest, a thunder beast cave, or other insect swarm buildings, they are actually only in the entire swarm base It's just an organ, not an independent individual.

And the greater the number of their organs, the stronger the wisdom and power of the swarm base, and the higher the production and incubation ability!

For things like this, Galen only gradually realized this after the star area was completely unified...Zergs are also able to provide the nutrients needed by this huge race because of the existence of the bacteria blanket. , The conditions of evolution and the basic organization of incubating mutation, etc.

As always, every time the Zergs go to a new place, they will definitely produce an active biological carpet tissue, which they call Creep! The fungus blanket can be produced by a hatchery, or by some kind of expanded organ structure. They can erode any land that can be reproduced very quickly, such as the Menel planet of the Turians!

Zergs dominate this planet, it must have started from the fungus blanket! If there are no restrictions, in the near future, the Zerg’s base, those fungus blankets and various insect nest buildings, will definitely cover the Menel planet and ‘drive’ the Turians out?

Of course, this kind of thing Galen will definitely not talk to those Turians!

and so. In the Kepulu region, whether it is a human planet or a Protoss planet, they strictly forbid any bugs to place a blanket on their living planet! Because if you do that, if you are not careful, it will cause extremely serious consequences!

One is that the life of the fungus blanket itself is very long, and it grows, swells, splits and expands all the time, and only when the hatchery or colony is destroyed will it shrink from the occupied land, but it does It will not die completely, and someone needs to carry out special cleaning work!

For example, use a fire tank to burn it a little bit or something? However, it was a long and costly process, and no one on that planet would choose to do that!

Therefore, once something like the Legion spreads out and builds a colony of bugs on a certain planet, then it is really a huge disaster for that planet...

"What magical effect?!"

Asari’s little Lori Liyala, well, if you don’t look at her over a hundred years of age, but just look at her size, it should be a big Lori? Anyway, now she is particularly interested in academic issues, especially the alien zerg she met for the first time. She expressed that she was curious about all of them and wanted to study it very much!

So, after watching the strange bugs in the distance gradually spread a thick layer of strange things on a large area of ​​land, she couldn't wait to ask the General Galen who seemed to know a lot of things.

‘Actually nothing...’

‘Look, they have started now... the swarm’s base, now finally started to spread...’

As soon as Galen’s words fell, all of them could clearly see that in the distance, on the huge blanket of fungus, the flat floating insects began to slowly turn into one lying there. The fleshy pupa on the seedling blanket squirmed and swelled like a heart.

Soon, they turned from a meat ball about one person tall to a huge meat ball about several people tall? And they are still creeping and expanding?

"What a miraculous thing...this is how the insect swarms' base came from?!"

Liara was surprised. She always thought that when bugs build their nests, they just bore holes in the ground, just like the various bugs on most living planets in the Milky Way now! Of course, there are also the Lekner bugs who were once annihilated by the castle, they also bored holes under the planet to build nests.

But how can you think that these zombie insects are actually such a novel way of nesting?

"very disgusting!"

"It looks like a wriggle of rotten meat..."

Miranda squinted, turning her head a little disgustingly.

She didn't like that kind of stuff, a lot of weird squirming meat, it looked a little too unacceptable, and it made her feel a little bit of goosebumps.

"..."

(ー`??ー)

"I would never want to eat the meat of those bugs, even if they are very big and look like animals?"

(/▽＼)

After staring at the other party's appearance when they built the base for a while, Annie immediately put out the idea that she had planned to catch a certain big guy here and play for a while! She also feels that if she hides her and stays, her appetite will definitely be seriously affected!

"..."

"Your Excellency Head Anne, and everyone... I'll take charge of the affairs of our swarm first, goodbye."

Hearing that the other party said bad things about their swarms in front of it, the Empress Zagara made an unpleasant guilty complaint, and immediately moved its slightly large body, clinging to the cliff, leading her The larvae crawled towards the hatchery that was being built and expanding in the distance.

Now that the Swarm is beginning to gain a foothold on this planet, perhaps, it’s time to let the genetic expert of the Swarm, the guy Abathur, come over to take charge of the evolution-related matters...Only then can it bring their swarms The combat effectiveness has been increased to the maximum!

And now these creatures here, whether they are humans, Asaris or Turians, except for the little head of Anne that can't afford to neglect it, other people have not been put behind by this worm. In the eyes.

If you change the place, maybe they would have been eaten as food by its insects!

‘Okay, everyone! ’

‘Since your problem here is solved perfectly, then I should also end the call. Recently I have a lot of things...’

Seeing that things have settled on the Turian Menel planet, and the swarms of insects have begun to harvest, and the Reapers will certainly no longer threaten the Turians, Galen, who is busy dealing with other things, directly intends to leave. :

'and many more! There seems to be one more thing? ’

‘Master Anne, the protoss seem to have caught two weird guys. They were brought from the Kepulu region. If you are free next time, you can go back to the solar system to have a look? Should they still be held in the prison on the Spear of Arden now? ’

Galen, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered the powerful red monster they had seen on the Spear of Arden and another weird murloc... So, he just mentioned to their head by the way. One sentence.

"Oh……"

(????.????)

In response, Annie picked up the communicator and turned it off!

She didn't want to care about what weird guy the Protoss caught! Now, she remembered that the uncle chef on Normandy No. 2 should almost finish her lunch, so she has to go back and fill up her stomach quickly, so she should not stay here anymore.

"Zi..."

‘Commander? Normandy 2 received an unfamiliar communication. I thought, if you have gotten things done on the planet, you'd better come back quickly? ’

At this time, Shepard's universal tool also rang, and the voice of the helmsman of Normandy No. 2 clown came from inside. Normandy II, which is now on Menel’s orbit, must have seen everything that happened on the ground, so the clown at this time reminded everyone who seemed to want to continue to observe the insects’ building base.

"Understood! We will go back soon!"

The other party didn't say that she, Shepard, almost forgot, they seemed to be going to rescue Liara and the Asari's Athena Nebula!

however……

"!!!"

"That fellow Annie, where did she go? She was still here just now!"

As soon as he turned his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ Shepard discovered that the little guy who was just behind them had disappeared again? So, eager to go back, she could only turn her head and search around.

"What do you mean by looking at me that way?"

"Command Shepard...I really didn't bring her to chaos this time. I am still here, and I don't know where she went!!"

Miranda unceremoniously glared back at Shepard. She herself was still here and didn't move. How could this kind of thing come to her?

‘...’

'commander! Your Excellency, Head of Führer Anne, is now in the restaurant of No. 2 Normandy, and she suddenly appeared here...’

At this time, the artificial intelligence of Normandy II, the EDI voice appeared in Shepard's universal tool in time.
