"Sir, this should be a Devouring Zerg. At present, we have not caught a prototype for this species. This should be considered a support-type, and we have the support of Dr. Butcher."
Jiang Feng nodded his head. If it was the Devouring Zerg, Wang Zheng might still be alive.
The Devouring Zerg was a Zerg that had only appeared on the battlefield in recent years. It had no attacking power and had invisibility powers, in order to swallow something close to itself. From past experience, the swallowed contents had been transferred to a place dozens of kilometers away, but most of the soldiers had gone missing.
However, no matter how slim the chances was, as an instructor, he could not let it go.
Mars and Hocatolin were allowed to continue with their training. Mars had no change in his expression. It seemed like Olivios would have to find another opponent for himself. As for Hocatolin, he was even more relieved. If such a person was to disappear, it would be a boon for the Aslan royal family.
What was space?
What was space?
The first sentence was asked by Old Merchant. The second sentence was Wang Zheng's reply. At that time, Wang Zheng was still a snot nosed brat. Because of a chicken leg, he was forced by an unscrupulous old man to answer some strange questions. In fact, the old man was mainly using him to satisfy his own desire as a techer.
"Space is a kind of existence. It is visible and tangible, just like a door, all you have to do is to open the door, and everything will be under your control." Old Merchant said with a smile.
"If you open the door, will there be chicken legs?" Little Wang Zheng asked excitedly.
In the end a bump appeared on his head, but Old Merchant's face was still fascinated, "Yes, behind that door is an entirely new world."
"Is the world yummy?" Little Wang Zheng was also influenced by the atmosphere, and asked in excitement.
Old Merchant looked at Wang Zheng in annoyance, "You are really hopeless. Never mind, let me explain to you. Behind the door is a supermarket that doesn't cost money. You can take whatever you want."
A supermarket that doesn't cost money? Suddenly, Little Wang Zheng's eyes sparkled with greed, there was such a wonderful world!!!
That was the door.
Except that it was too hard for him to put into words. Just like Zhang Shan, he had completely relied on his own feelings. From the beginning to the end, he did not understand what the nature of space movement was, but it did not pose a problem to him. Just like animals who used their own instinct, he knew how to use it. But as for the concrete explanation on how, he was totally clueless.
The students in Elite Academy was still carrying on with their lives. The news from the Abyss would obviously not be announced, and everyone had to simply wait for the final results.
Zhang Shan was indeed excited. In his case, it was insufficient to simply be serious, he had to constantly study in order for his ability to improve. After all, they were all from the Solar system. If they did not help each other, who would?
Thus, Zhang Shan began to ask around.
Aina and Lin Huiyin were keeping a low profile in Elite Academy. The academy had also issued a notice for the students to treat them with a normal attitude, allowing them to lead a normal academy life.
After all, they were students of Elite Academy, and their excitement had gradually returned to normal, and Aina and Lin Huiyin were able to gain even more freedom. In particular, Aina was indeed here to learn, her memory speed scaring off even the instructors.
It was just like a supercomputer, this was one of the aspects of Aina's Ability X, a superhuman memory, and the ability to process and absorb all information rapidly. Of course, such a memory was not similar to that of a computer, but Aina's ability to master knowledge was indeed powerful. If she was the captain, any ship in space would no longer be afraid of any unexpected situations.
Lin Huiyin was not as focused as her. She... was the type that slept through class. When the instructors were speaking, she was humming to herself and fidgeting about. She had never liked learning in the first place, and did not want to take on any burdens. Although she was still a little interested in the lectures on Ability X, she had totally ignored everything regarding combat theory and such.
It was just that this cute and lovely princess was still extremely popular. Both of them had different personalities, but were equally attractive to others. Aina had poise, while Lin Huiyin was affable.
The Devouring Zerg was a new species of worm. There had been research conducted, this was an evolution of the Zerg that were trying to leave the Abyss.
However, humanity had no other choice, but only pray that the evolution of the Zerg would not succeed.
Butcher had recently been having a bad premonition. When he learnt about the student name Wang Zheng, he was stunned and rushed to the scene.
Although he was a military man, he was even more so a scientist. A scientist was not akin to a normal warrior. There may be a hundred outstanding warriors, but the seedlings of scientists, especially a unique one, may only appeared once every few hundred years.
It was not only him that thought that way. When he was talking to Gail and his other friends, everyone had said the same things. At any rate, Wang Zheng was still young, and it would be good for him to practice with the military, tempering his tenacity and body. This was something that they did not possess. At the same time, he could understand the situation within the military, and could make a better judgment when he was researching in the future.
The only concern was his safety.
Butcher was aware of Wang Zheng's situation. There were quite a few instructors that gave him a good evaluation, including Jiang Feng. But they had never imagined that such a thing would happen soon after leaving the academy, and it was such a big issue!
"Jiang Feng, what the hell are you doing? Didn't you say that the safety precautions of the test was done properly?!" Butcher was angrily brandishing a large anatomy knife.
Jiang Feng coughed a few times, "Butcher, calm down. This was an unexpected situation, we had also not expected a small section of the Zerg to attack the rear."
No matter what the case was, Butcher was still previously his instructor, and he could only stand there and accept the scolding.
Butcher was also frustrated, "Is there still a way?"
Since they came to find him, there should be a chance. If Wang Zheng was really dead, this would be a major issue. It had to be known that the space project had just succeeded, but the original creator...
"According to our surveillance records, he was swallowed by a Devouring Zerg. In theory, there is a certain possibility of surviving. Hence, we plan to surround these Zerg with a small force, while another group spread out to each. Hopefully, he would be able to escape with his life intact." Jiang Feng said.
Butcher studied the situation on the recording. The Devouring Zerg was also one of the more important targets of his research, but he had not been able to procure a sample.
"If it is possible, try your best to capture this Zerg alive!"
Jiang Feng had a bitter smile on his face. If they were able to catch it, they would have long done so. These kinds of Zerg with invisibility were the hardest to find. At this moment, these Zerg would probably have scattered away, and the reason why it had appeared so far away was probably because it was surveying the situation. Analyzing the battlefield from afar, this was identical to the humans.
This game had been going on for many years. The Zerg emulated the humans, and humans did the same to the Zerg. However, humanity now was in a defensive state. The inside of the Abyss was far more terrible than one could imagine, but fortunately it was not possible for the Zerg to escape, and they could only silently tolerate it.
Although Jiang Feng did not harbor any hopes, he still dispatched others to aid in the search. Hopefully Wang Zheng's luck was pretty good, perhaps he could be found nearby.
