Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the time of a year flies.

Over the course of a year, Shang Si led a group of people from the Eighth Detachment to patrol their area while being matched by Monica to earn wages to feed the Raven.

After a year, although I still can't afford to buy a new mech, the Raven needs to replace the parts to make up. So the happiest this year is undoubtedly Arnold.

As for the Zerg, in the year that the Raven patrolled, they had seen it several times in the patrol area of the Eighth Detachment, but fortunately, they were all single, and the level was not high, and they could be eliminated by mechas. But Shang Si could clearly feel that the frequency of the Zerg was getting higher and higher.

With Monica's help, the single Zerg that appears now can be solved by relying on the force of the border army, and there are no major problems. It's just that the more frequent occurrence of a single one also means that the possibility of the Zerg appearing in groups is also increasing.

Once the Zerg form a swarm, the destructive power caused is terrifying. Moreover, the few teams of border troops in Anxing Province are not enough for the Zerg to plug their teeth.

……

Captain's Room of the Raven.

In the display on the table is Monica's mature and charming face.

"Yes, after this work is completed, you will have a lot of income again~"

Shang Si grimaced.

No matter how much income they earn, they can't keep the eighth detachment!

Sure enough, Monica smiled brightly.

"What gear do you want this time?"

Shang Si sent the bill of goods that Su Ne had sorted out. Monica, who received the manifest, read it and nodded, "Well, this money should be just enough...... Then transfer the ^_^ money."

Shang Si ......

The money he just got an hour ago hasn't been warmed yet......

I knew that Monica took the initiative to contact for this!

Shang Si sent the payment over expressionlessly.

After receiving the payment, Monica's face became stern as she had just looked.

"Captain Shang, the last time Team 8 saw the Zerg was last month, right?"

"Yes." Shang Si replied. They just wiped out a D-class zerg last month.

"Recently, the frequency of Zerg in the Anxing Province area has been increasing." Monica said, "In the past, it only appeared once every three or four months, but last month in Anxing Province, the Zerg appeared three times. ”

"What does the council say?" Shang Si asked.

Zerg have appeared very frequently, and last year it was fortunate that no civilian ship was attacked except for the Dodo. But today, when the Zerg continue to appear, this kind of luck is already in jeopardy. Even if you cover it up, you can't hide it anymore.

Hearing Shang Si's inquiry, Monica's eyebrows tightened with worry.

"The council demands that An Shing Hong Kong continue to act in accordance with the original directives."

"Impossible." Shang Si said that the council's original directive was to cover up the fact that the Zerg appeared, but it was obvious that it could not be concealed now, "There is no way they can let this matter be discovered." ”

"yes, yes." Monica said helplessly, "But first they have to believe that things will be revealed." ”

Shang Si: "They don't believe it? ”

Monica: "They thought I was trying to use this excuse to cheat the financial allocation, after all, Quan Shengyue of Shing Hong Province is famous. ”

Shang Si: "The affairs of the Zerg are not limited to Anxing Province. ”

Monica: "It may have been more than just An Shing Province before, but ......"

"In the past three months, except for Anxing Province, the Zerg in other regions have all disappeared."

"What?" Shang Si was shocked.

Monica sighed: "I didn't believe it at first, thinking that the upper echelons wanted to hide the situation again, but as of today, all the information channels have told me, except for Anxing Province, the Zerg in other provinces seem to have disappeared overnight." ”

Monica's news is extremely credible, as the CEO of Anxing Province, she naturally has many hidden channels to obtain reliable information, even if Sheng Yue's upper echelons ask to conceal the news of the Zerg, Monica can accurately know the actual situation of other provinces.

So, did the Zerg really disappear?

Shang Si always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

At this time, Monica on the other side of the screen sighed again and said to Shang Si: "You also know the current situation, maybe the situation is really what the unreliable expert said, the appearance of the Zerg is also divided into big and small years, and last year happened to be a big year, so there are many Zerg, and this year it will return to normal again." ”

Shang Si did not answer.

Monica: "I know you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either, but the people in the council do!" The Zerg in other places have disappeared, and the Anxing Province reports more and more Zerg every day. If I were the council, I would also wonder if the province of An Sing wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make money, after all, the council still gave a lot of hush money in order to cover up this matter. ”

Shang Si was silent for a moment and said, "The border army is also reporting the situation of the Zerg. ”

Monica: "I'm also very puzzled about this, the administration and the army of Anxing Province are two completely separate systems, even if I am the CEO of Anxing Province, I can't interfere with your border army (otherwise Monica would have already helped Shang Si and them directly ask for the deducted supplies). Those in the council don't believe my report, but they have to trust yours. But until now, I've been accused of cheating on my head. ”

Shang Si couldn't figure out this matter, he obviously reported the situation of the Zerg here, and the increasing frequency of the Zerg was really a dangerous signal. But the military department has not reacted so far, as if they are doing business as usual here.

Monica and Shangsi each thought for a while, but they couldn't think of a reason. Now the upper echelons of Sheng Yue don't believe in them, and without support, they can only maintain the status quo at this stage.

Shang Si, who had ended this communication, dialed the communication in the ship, and after a while, Xiao Yi walked into the captain's room.

"Senpai." Shang Si stood up and gave a standard military salute.

After Xiao Yi returned the salute, his face was full of helplessness.

"I said Xiao Shang, I've been on this Raven for almost a year, so I don't have to be so formal every time."

Shang Si didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Yi with a pair of dark eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you." Xiao Yi also knew that he couldn't persuade Shang Si. At first, it took a lot of effort to prevent Shang Si from calling him a marshal. As for the matter of military salute, no matter what he said, Shang Si would not compromise.

"Xiao Shang, what did you call me over?"

"Zerg thing." Shang Si said.

After all, Xiao Yi is a person who came from the era of the anti-invasion war, and he has much more experience with the Zerg than Shang Si and Monica, so whenever Shang Si encounters questions related to the Zerg, he will go to Xiao Yi to solve his doubts. Shang Si couldn't figure it out this time, so he could only ask Xiao Yi for help.

Hearing Shang Si finish the matter, Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"The Zerg still have big and small years, is this really not a joke? Once the frequency of Zerg increases, it is impossible to automatically decrease unless it is artificially killed. ”

"But three months ago, the Zerg disappeared in all regions except An Sing Province," Shang Si said.

Xiao Yi: "This matter is very strange, but it is absolutely impossible for the Zerg to disappear out of thin air, there are only two possibilities for this phenomenon, either the Zerg have run to Anxing Province, or the Zerg have temporarily hidden." However, the first scenario is unlikely, if they all migrate to Anxing Province, then there will definitely be a time difference depending on the distance, but those zergs disappeared almost at the same time, so the first case can be ruled out. Then most likely, those zergs are hidden. ”

"Why do they do that?" Shang Si asked.

"Maybe they're gathering strength." Xiao Yi said, "According to the previous numbers, the frequency of Zerg in other provinces is also increasing, which shows that the number of Zerg is increasing, but the border armies of various provinces have also eliminated many Zergs. Perhaps for this reason, they instinctively hide and secretly accumulate power. ”

The Zerg is a very peculiar race, and the lower the Zerg, the more affected by instinct. In the case of a bad environment, even if they are very far away, the Zerg can hide themselves at the same time.

Until now, humanity has not known what made the lower Zerg make the hidden decision at the same time, but as the anti-invasion war entered the tail stage, the remnants of the Zerg almost simultaneously chose corners that were not easy to find and hibernated. And the reason why the border army survived was to find and kill these Zerg who were hiding.

"If they're really hidden, there are pros and cons." Xiao Yi said, "Judging from the number we have at this stage, the number of them is not much, if they want to appear in groups, it will take at least ten years, and if the Sheng Yue Council pays attention to this matter in these ten years and continues to eliminate the hidden Zerg, there will be no problem." ”

Xiao Yi only said the advantages, and did not say the disadvantages of this matter, but Shang Si knew what Xiao Yi had not finished.

With the laissez-faire attitude of Sheng Yue's upper echelons towards the Zerg now, I am afraid that once the Zerg is dormant, maybe they will feel that the world is fine. If the number of Zerg killed by the Frontier Army is always less than the number of Zerg themselves that reproduces within ten years, then after ten years, the Zerg can definitely form a swarm. At that point, it will probably be a disaster.

But now Shang Si is only the captain of a small detachment of the border army, and there is no other way than to report the matter and inform Monica. Even Xiao Yi, if there is no sufficient evidence, rashly say this speculation, it is estimated that it will be questioned by the people, coupled with the guidance of those politicians in the parliament who disarmed the sixth disarmament, Xiao Yi's speculations without evidence will not only not be believed by the people, but he himself will be infamous as war paranoia.

So at this stage, they can only find evidence, but fortunately, it is expected that there will be ten more years, and they still have time.

However, if the Zerg are hiding on a large scale, then why are the Zerg on this side of Anxing Province not only not decreasing, but increasing?

Shang Si voiced this question.

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Anxing Province...... A higher mother may have appeared. ”

This is not good news.

The low-level female worm has a very poor reproductive ability, and can only give birth to offspring of this type of Zerg, but the high-level female worm has a very strong reproductive ability, and can even reproduce any kind of Zerg below their own level at will.

And the existence of a female worm can indeed fight against the instinct of the Zerg, so that the Zerg who should be hidden are very active, because they have to supply a lot of food for the female worm.

The recipes of the Zerg are very complicated, in short, they are not picky eaters, and they can eat both organic and inorganic substances. But for them, the most nutritious thing is humans. Preying on humans in large numbers can even make it easy for them to level up, and for the higher females, humans as food can also increase the number of eggs it lays.

Therefore, if there is really a high-level female worm in Anxing Province, then once the female worm gives birth to enough Zerg, it will be a matter of minutes to attack the planet inhabited by humans.
