Chapter 17: The Lost Zerg

Virtual boundaries.

Like the edge of the Milky Way, cold and desolate at the edge of darkness, within hundreds of kilometers, not a single particle can be found. Such a place cannot form a small world, but in the central area of the virtual boundary, a piece of land is formed.

The Continental Allies did not dare to go deep into the virtual world, but simply moved around the edge of the virtual world, buying items from several islands with sizable backgrounds to ensure that they were not directly trapped or killed by the buyers.

"While it's dangerous to be outside the borders and we need to be cautious every step of the way, we can't be too closed. If a low-level civilization stagnates and does not absorb the knowledge and energy of other civilizations, it will be difficult to grow and develop. Therefore, it is very necessary to participate in the communication of other worlds and races. For the first time, I will personally take you to the virtual world. Future trade and development will depend on human capabilities. The virtual world is where heaven meets. Although it is fraught with risks, it is also a place of opportunity. ”

Zhang Tong felt that it was necessary for the virtual world to say, "I understand!"

The rebel Great Sage said: "It's not too late. Get ready, let's go. ”

Zhang Tong solved the supplies and troops sent by the Continental Alliance. More than 10,000 assistive robots are sent to build space warehouses, defensive barriers, missile towers, reconnaissance stations, and more. A variety of buildings with different functions.

In this virtual world tour, Zhang Tong took Thunder as his assistant. In addition, he basically did not bring anyone else, because there is no essential difference between a few more people and a few less.

Second-generation magic-guided engine battleships can easily sail at 100 times the speed of sound and can accelerate to 200 times the speed of sound or even more. In such a large foreign world, this is not a clipper, it simply cannot be used for cross-domain navigation. It can go from one world to another, unless it is aided by one thing - the Bridge of Space!

The space bridge resembles a wormhole, a magical passage that can fold two points in space.

There are many space bridges in the world. Naturally formed spatial bridges are invisible to the naked eye and can only be learned through exploration. These space bridges have become convenient passages for low-level civilizations. Some advanced civilizations have been able to artificially build space bridges, saving time to travel between the two places.

"Let's go!"

Five battleships rose into the air, magic-guided engines started at the same time, and the spiral nozzle holes in the tail of the second-generation battleships lit up with a dazzling purple-white light at the same time. A lot of magical energy is started in the engine, which eventually produces a powerful driving force. The five battleships reached 100 times the speed of sound in an instant, dragging out a purple-white trajectory that turned into five bright spots from the sky.

The battleship moved faster and faster, passing through a certain area at a breakneck speed.

"Low-level stupid creatures!"

The endless void world rippled out, and a tall figure walked out.

The man is a closed body structure that looks cool, like a scorpion, or rather, a monster that is half scorpion, half human and half scorpion. His upper body was jet black and shiny, and his strong muscles were covered in a purple-black metal creature shell. His two stout arms do not distinguish between five fingers, but rather a thick scorpion plie, with a completely closed head, no mouth, no ears, and only three pairs of insect-like compound eyes.

If the upper body of this creature is hardly human, then the lower body is completely a scorpion, with a total of six legs, and a 3-meter-long scorpion tail is raised high, and its end rotates at high speed, blooming with purple-black light, full of powerful energy.

"These stupid guys have found our home base! Are we going to attack now?"

Behind the strength of the half-human, half-scorpion world, suddenly, like a ghost, the huge Zerg became powerful, and everyone who has the appearance of a half-human and half-scorpion should be a person of the same race. The camouflage has been constantly removed, and more and more scorpions are exposed, in addition to a large number of biological weapons, and even several giant Zerg motherships hundreds of feet long.

These intelligent zergs communicate in the form of spirit waves. They were poorly dressed. Everyone has different weapons and equipment, and their warships are not exactly the same. They have the Zerg Life Ship and the Spirit Craft Magic Ship. Such a team is like a bandit in exile in the starry sky. It is estimated that this is due to the long period of wandering and plundering the lives of foreigners.

The Zerg leader said calmly: "The time is a bit short, and the others have not arrived. Don't worry, these stupid guys didn't find the base until today, they don't have the idea of destroying it at all. They are clearly salivating over our technology and trying to take the base for themselves. It's really stupid. Can our great technology be understood by some of the lower beings of the spirit world?"

"Yes, as long as we get rid of the guys in the spirit world and occupy this land, with the help of the mature mother base and the weapons of the base, we will immediately have a strong offensive and defensive force. Those pesky ghost flies can no longer pose any threat to us. ”

The Zerg leader ordered: "You order the exiled troops to come back as soon as possible to reinforce, this is our only hope to rebuild civilization!"

"Yes!"

The leader of the Zerg stood in the void, with a pair of large reflective eyes, reflecting the island, and a hideous murderous aura gradually emerged.

On this day.

They waited too long.

This Zerg civilization was originally born in a small world of the insect world. About 15,000 years ago, it began to expand beyond its borders. Science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds. About 12,000 years ago, it developed a third-generation biological ship with the ability to invade various small worlds and plunder the resources of small worlds. In the 3,000 years since, they invaded this small world, slaughtering hundreds of billions of people. Civilization grows rapidly in warfare. They have initially gained the ability to develop fourth-generation biotechnology.

It is likely that they will get carried away, and the power of the original civilization will increase again, and the Zerg has made a big mistake.

They have discovered a rare resource in a small world that can be beneficial for the upgrading of key steps so that biotechnology can truly be upgraded to the fourth generation. As a result, the invasion war was launched without a clear investigation. As everyone knows, this small world has long been colonized by another, more powerful civilization. The beginning of this war of plunder completely infuriated that powerful and mysterious civilization. The other side quickly found the Zerg's home planet and fought to the ground.

The foundation of the Zerg was destroyed, the development and foundation were cut off, and the other side was not satisfied, and found that the base of the Zerg outside the territory, with the advantage of destruction, immediately destroyed the civilization that had been developed for more than 10,000 years and built through hard work.

Most of the Zerg died in the war.

Most of the survivors became bandits.

These people are homeless and can only make a living from robberies like Xuanjie's Three Eyes. Civilization does not develop at all, and sooner or later it will be submerged in the vast world.

The mysterious power that destroyed the Zerg civilization was not known, but in fact, a team secretly escaped to the edge of the Zerg world with the seeds of civilization and discovered an island that the mysterious civilization did not discover, that is, the island that is now at the feet of Zhang Tong.

The leader who ventured to take away the hope of the Zerg was actually the leader of the Zerg standing here. He was a member of the royal family and had a high status. When disaster strikes, everyone else is fighting hard, only he has a premonition that this is a doomed war, so he steals the unused seeds of the "fourth generation" base and defects with a small group of cronies before the final battle.

This precious seed was planted on the island.

The only hope for the destruction of civilization!

The next thing is obvious.

The biological base has just been established and is still in its infancy. When the Zerg did not resist, the Continental Allies unexpectedly discovered them. Several sages were surprised to find that this Zerg was poorly equipped and few in number. It was entirely indigenous, so they started a war and killed most of the Zerg.

The royal family and hundreds of cronies detonate the island's ships and flee in the only creature ship. During his ten years of wandering, he searched everywhere in the vast galaxy in search of companions. Today, he found about 60,000 people and contacted several thieves. They are willing to help retake their islands.

This island is not important.

That biological basis is... The spark of civilization, the hope of the race!

The Zerg leader stared at the island and sent a spiritual wave to the other clansmen: "I've waited too long for this day!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Zerg soldiers unleashed a burst of intense killing thoughts.

.........

"The door to the virtual world has arrived!"

The Great Sage said to Zhang Tong.

The Continental Alliance calls the space bridge to the edge of the virtual world the "gateway to the virtual world." Zhang Tong looked at the time, he took less than two days to sail. The "Gate of the Virtual World" has broken into Worm Island. Zhang Tong looked out for a long time, but he didn't find the so-called space bridge at all.

Tianwen Great Sage shook his head and said, "The overpass is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Pay attention to the changes in the reference object!"

Zhang Tong looked at the nearby clearing. Above the canopy, all of the space-time vortices have different colors and flashes of light. Suddenly, when the ship sailed to a position, the vortex of space-time filled with vacuum disappeared.

The rebel Great Sage said: "We crossed the space bridge. ”

"So fast?"

Zhang Tong was surprised.

The Great Sage looked at the dark world and said, "This is the virtual world, a very distant world. Without the help of a space bridge, it would take 34.11 years to sail at the speed of a second-generation spacecraft. ”

Sailed 200 times the speed of sound for 34 years before returning?

Far enough!

Lei Ming was a little worried: "Is the space bridge stable?"

"We regularly check the space energy of the space bridge. The energy of the space bridge shows no signs of chaos, so it is very stable and will not collapse in 300 years. We can use it with confidence. ”

Zhang Tong and Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianwen Great Sage said: "The materials in the virtual world are scarce, and it is definitely a vacuum environment. Our speed can be increased to 300 times the speed of sound, and we will reach a large island on the edge of the virtual border in about 6 hours. It is a place called "Crystal Island" and one of the main trade routes of the mainland. ”
