The evolution of the worms had always been a topic of human research, especially the abyss worms. They were not your average kind of scary. If such worms appeared on a large scale, humans would definitely not be able to resist them. Luckily, they could not come out of the abyss, and provided excellent research material for humans.
It was also Butcher's first time seeing such a worm. "In order to capture it, we mobilized two small teams. It's very dangerous for those without strong enough spiritual power to approach it."
One of the workers had been struck down by it. It was similar to a spiritual explosion, and had almost lost his life.
Xie Yuxin was always so calm and collected. Only when he was doing such research would he be excited. He had already moved in a completely different direction. But he had not expected Wang Zheng to be able to freely enter and exit this place, and to be so familiar with Butcher.
"This Zerg is very good material for us. Through it, we may be able to find the evolutionary factor that we have been longing for. Although this Zerg is a second transformation, it is clear that it was once a spider Zerg. But through some kind of evolutionary process, it has become what it is now. While we humans are studying them to obtain information, the worms are also studying us," Xie Yuxin said.
"Yuxin, you mean to say that these worms have some kind of conspiracy?" A tall girl said. Vermillion Bird Institution, from Aslan. One could see that this slightly arrogant girl was very good to Xie Yuxin.
"Senior Millie, that was my first reaction when I saw it. But I find it strange. From the current information, the worms of the abyss are much stronger than us. Evolution is a natural selection from the bottom to the top. Don't you find it strange?" Xie Yuxin said.
Instantly, everyone fell silent. In the battle of the abyss, humans had completely relied on numbers to win. In that space, it seemed very difficult for the worms to enter. Their true base camp was something that humans had never reached, and did not dare to go too deep.
Wang Zheng looked at the Zerg. There was a magnetic field around the cage. This kind of magnetic field could interfere with the Zerg's spiritual attacks. But when Wang Zheng looked at it, the Zerg seemed to be able to sense it. It clearly had no eyes, but it seemed to see Wang Zheng.
In that instant, Wang Zheng even felt a strong signal from the worm, but he could not understand what it meant. But it was the workers who were surprised, because the worm's spiritual waves had reached the highest they had ever captured it.
Wang Zheng was a little puzzled, but he suddenly thought of a problem.
"Elder Butcher, I've thought of a problem. For these abyss Zergs, the biggest problem that's troubling them isn't us, but the abyss!"
Wang Zheng said. Everyone had yet to react, but a few seconds later, everyone's expressions changed.
"You mean, they want to come out?"
"That's right. Regardless of whether it's the insects here or the species in the Abyss, expansion and destruction are in their nature. We can come and go freely, but they can't. With the insects' instincts, they will naturally target this. They have this change not because they think that we are strong, but because they want to find a reason!"
Wang Zheng said. This imagination was really bold. No one would even think in this direction. However, Wang Zheng felt that it was a very common thing. He had heard Charcoal talk nonsense before. In a certain lost history, there had already been cases of Zergs evolving into humans. It was just that the truth could no longer be confirmed.
Butcher's expression was incomparably solemn, because he had suddenly realized this point. In an instant, he looked towards the Zerg, and at this moment, that Zerg had gone berserk, and the device sounded an alarm.
In a matter of three or four seconds, the bug exploded and turned into minced meat.
Everyone looked at each other, and a strange atmosphere enveloped the laboratory.
Butcher took a deep breath. "Don't spread this idea. I will report it to the higher-ups, and see how to handle it. But based on the information we have now, no matter how strong the Zergs are, it won't be that easy. From another perspective, if they really evolve like this, their battle power won't be too strong. There are too many variables."
But Butcher still left in a hurry. It looked like he was taking this matter very seriously. Humans had gained a lot from the abyss, but they could not afford to lose the big picture for the small.
The experimental target had already been reduced to a pile of dust, and everyone could only return. Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin were also rarely together, except there was an extra third wheel, Senior Millie.
After walking out, Senior Millie was waiting for Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin smiled. "Wang Zheng, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Senior Millie."
Wang Zheng started, then laughed heartily. "Kid, you've really hidden yourself well. Greetings, Senior!"
Millie glared at Xie Yuxin. "Can't you drop the 'Senior'?"
Xie Yuxin smiled faintly, unconcerned. But Wang Zheng was amused. "Not bad, not bad. Senior, this kid has a lukewarm personality. He's actually very gentle on the inside."
"Scram!" Even Xie Yuxin could not stand Wang Zheng's teasing.
"Haha, see? You've exposed yourself. Senior, if you have anything you want to know, just ask me. No one here knows him better than I do." Wang Zheng laughed.
"Wang Zheng, you … don't talk nonsense!" Xie Yuxin had met the wrong people. Who knew what had gone wrong with him back then, but he had ended up with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu.
Any girl would definitely be very interested in their boyfriend's past, especially past affairs. But it was clear that Xie Yuxin belonged to the cold type. Such people were popular in their youth, but they were rather silly. Yan Xiaosu had always said that this guy was a waste of talent. If it were him, he would have found 10 or 20 girlfriends, one a day, and a different one every week.
"From what you say, your personalities are as different as heaven and earth. How could he have become good friends with you?" Millie really could not accept Wang Zheng's personality. In her eyes, Xie Yuxin and Wang Zheng were two completely different people. But while she was a little aloof, she was still very polite when she found out that Wang Zheng was Xie Yuxin's good friend. This was basic respect, but it did not mean that she would approve of it.
Xie Yuxin shrugged. "I've been tricked."
Millie could not help but smile. Xie Yuxin also had his humorous moments. This was easy on the inside.
The three found a place to rest, and chatted over drinks.
"Right, how are Achilles and the rest? We haven't talked in a long time." Wang Zheng asked.
"Achilles? Vermillion Bird Xuan Class 1, but he keeps a low profile. There's not much news about him, and we haven't had much interaction. You know me." Xie Yuxin said. "But they'll definitely be participating in this competition, and have already passed the qualification test. Lie Xin will be participating too. I've discovered that you have the ability to scare people away."
Wang Zheng laughed. "Don't make it sound like you're a lone star."
"The Huang Grade is just there for the fun. Don't take it too seriously." Millie could not help but say. She was a Xuan Grade, and a Xuan Class 1 at that. She could not suppress her arrogance, especially after knowing that Wang Zheng was a Huang Class 7.
Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin just looked at each other and smiled. They did not explain. If it was someone else, they would definitely brag to Wang Zheng, but Xie Yuxin was clearly not that kind of person. He would not care about such things. Gold would shine no matter where it was. It was just a matter of time. Since it was destined, why bother explaining?
But their smiles made Millie a little unhappy. "Student Yuxin, Student Wang Zheng, I'm doing this for your own good. The competition is a real battle, and injuries are common. If you're not careful, it could affect your future studies. So you must be careful. Don't force yourself."
Millie said. Although her words were not very pleasant, they were at least partly out of good intentions. After all, Xie Yuxin did not need to participate.
Actually, support types like them were quite good. They were valued, and did not need to participate in such competitions. But Xie Yuxin was not the type to be afraid of competition.
Seeing Millie pout, Xie Yuxin smiled knowingly. "Don't worry about him. He's a cockroach."
"Cockroach? What's that? "
"It's a very tenacious creature. A distant relative of the Zerg."
"Screw you. You're the distant relative of the Zerg!" Wang Zheng scolded. This guy's tongue was especially nimble when it came to dissing him.
Xie Yuxin quickly calmed down, a victorious smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Wang Zheng was also helpless. No matter who you quarrel with, don't quarrel with Xie Yuxin. This guy always had a way to make you feel helpless. Actually, Xie Yuxin was the one who was born narcissistic.
"Wang Zheng, Senior Millie's warning is right. I know you're confident, but this is Elite Academy X. As far as I know, the four masters of the Xuan Grade have all returned. The runic mecha this time is very important to them. Actually, there's only one slot left for the others."
Xie Yuxin had hit the nail on the head. At the side, Millie did not know whether to laugh or cry. These two had taken it seriously. They really wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. The Xuan Grade was not an undeserved reputation. Besides the four masters, who were close to the Earth Grade, the others were not weak either. If it was just an empty reputation, it would not have attracted their interest. But when it came to exclusive mecha, they could not back down.
"Oh, there's someone called Pampas. Is he also one of the four masters?" Wang Zheng asked.
"That's right. Pampas is Azure Dragon Region's No.1. His Ability X is an unimaginable creation," Millie said.
Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin started. Wang Zheng smiled. "Sounds like a magical ability. Interesting."
"Looks like you've already met him?" Xie Yuxin asked.
"Not really met. Just a chance encounter." Wang Zheng said, turning his cup. Creation. From the perspective of the five elements, it should be the Earth of the Five Elements. But it was definitely a Major Five. He just did not know to what extent he could create.
"Oh? How confident are you?"
"Before we really fight, it's 50-50 against anyone." Wang Zheng was very calm. His understanding of battle was different from others. There was a big difference between a normal spar and a life and death battle. Even a match could be dangerous.
50-50?
