Chapter 2 The Northern Seven Star Army
"It will protect you."
A humanoid Zerg ...... It is about two meters tall, and its limbs are hard bones like arthropods, and its whole body is covered with a hard shell like armor, and behind it is a long tail with bone spurs, and the tip is as sharp as a needle.
Even the face is covered in a mask-like hard shell, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.
Mo Lan had to admit that she was a little handsome...... It's like an inhuman character in a comic book suddenly appearing in front of you, which is very in line with human aesthetics.
"Uh...... Why haven't I seen it...... Belch...... Sisters are not like this......" Mo Lan organized the appropriate wording, she didn't understand why she had never seen such a handsome image, if most of the Zerg were like this, instead of having hundreds of compound eyes on her head and thousands of teeth in her mouthparts, she wouldn't feel so scared at all.
Through the spiritual network, her meaning was well passed on to the Zerg Empress.
"Because it's too weak."
"Human genes are more suitable for those weapons that need to be controlled," the Zerg Empress brought out some memories of emotion, "After fusing the Zerg, they will become weaker ......"
Speaking of this, the Zerg Empress paused, it seemed that the meaning was not clear, but Mo Lan understood what it meant.
Compared with the Terrans, the Zerg after the genetic fusion of other races will bring their respective advantages and become more adaptable and good at warfare.
But the Terrans only become more powerful when they wield the right weapons, and they don't have too much combat power...... After becoming an ordinary zerg with no ability to think, there is no advantage.
Moreover, the Zerg that fuses human genes will occasionally awaken their thinking abilities, not like the Zerg Queen - suppose that in a Zerg, the Zerg Empress dies unexpectedly, and among the still alive Zerg, there will be an ordinary Zerg who awakens and transforms into the Zerg Queen, and will not grow into the Zerg Empress until it raises its own Zerg.
From this point of view, another difference between the Zerg Empress and the Zerg Queen is that there is no own team, the one who has real power is the empress, and the one who has no real power to borrow the hands of the previous generation is only the queen.
Ordinary Zerg who fuse human genes, after awakening, part of them will remember their memories as humans, but instinct makes them unable to hurt the Zerg Empress, and human memories make them hate Zerg, in this contradiction between instinct and thought, they usually choose to commit suicide to end everything.
For the Zerg Empress, whether a Zerg has awakened the memory of human beings is easy to detect in the spiritual network, as obvious as a sudden bug in the operation of the system, and it can't hide it if you want to, so it didn't take the initiative to prompt Mo Lan.
This kind of instinctual thing, can there be a Zerg queen who doesn't know?
However, the Zerg formed by the fusion of human genes also has a role, for example, in terms of manipulating the starship, it is easier to use than other Zerg, just like the holographic projection screen just used to display, it is relying on these Zerg synthesized with human genes that it was successfully imitated - the Zerg do not need to create these high-tech things, but they don't mind using them.
It turns out that the Zerg who looks so handsome is actually a starship maintenance worker...... Mo Lan thought of something else and hurriedly spoke.
"Mother, mother...... Can I take that abandoned starship core from the warehouse? ”
In the years of fighting with the Terrans, the Zerg Empress destroyed more than one starship, and also recovered many useful and useless parts, and now this Zerg starship, in many places, was built by imitation.
Of course, there are also many things that the Zerg can't figure out the role or are useless at all, so they can only put things that eat ashes, such as the abandoned starship core mentioned by Mo Lan.
Which human starship is it, the Zerg Empress can't remember clearly, she destroyed more than a dozen starships in one breath at most, the so-called core is actually a kind of "artificial intelligence" that humans say, which can be used to assist in controlling spaceships and help humans calculate huge amounts of data and store them.
But the Zerg Empress doesn't need it, trillions of trillions of Zerg can be directly controlled by the spirit network, and the assistance of artificial intelligence is really a bit useless to it.
"Yes." It wasn't something that could affect the developmental balance between the ten sisters, so the Zerg Empress happily agreed.
Soon the Zerg sent the core that Mo Lan named to him, after all, the entire starship was surrounded by the Zerg Empress's spiritual network, and it wanted to issue an order, without even a millisecond of network delay.
The abandoned core is a silver-white sphere the size of a basketball, and when you touch it, a transparent virtual screen will be revealed, and through spiritual perception, you can detect that there are signals that are constantly transmitting outward, but surrounded by the spiritual network of the Zerg Empress, it is obvious that no signal can be transmitted.
Mo Lan showed an obvious expression of joy, with this thing, she could find a place to hide and play games to live.
…… Yes, it's not a golden finger, Mo Lan accidentally found that the core of this abandoned starship more than a hundred years ago still has energy, and there are many movie games in the interstellar era in it, which can be watched and played!
It's hard to say whether the reason why Mo Lan has been able to persist in a group of Zerg sisters until now is due to these movies and game works.
But in short, seeing that the first nine sisters were thrown to a backward primitive planet with little scientific and technological power, Mo Lan decided to prepare something for herself, at least so that she could live a better life - spiritual food is also food!
After confirming that Mo Lan had no other problems, the Zerg Empress sent her to a certain planet along with the Zerg with the human gene.
One, a planet dominated by humans.
Watching the last small flight capsule land, the Zerg Empress relaxed, although those ten were all her daughters, but the Zerg actually didn't pay attention to blood relations - if I had to say, all the Zerg were born by the Zerg Empress.
Since the birth of the ten Zerg queens, there have been only competitors left between them, and the reason why the Zerg empresses can restrain and suppress the instinct to fight each other is because in the face of approaching death, the instinct of the continuation race has prevailed.
However, the Zerg Empress can restrain herself, but the newborn Zerg Queens can't control themselves, and the instinct to unconsciously subconsciously declare the existence in the spiritual network is almost always challenging the Zerg Empress's position in the Zerg.
Especially the youngest daughter Lan, who is based on human genes, has a fragile body that is far more powerful than the other nine sisters, if it weren't for the fact that she was too timid and took the initiative to close the link of the spiritual network, the Zerg Empress was not even sure that she could suppress her at the spiritual level.
Come on, the Zerg Empress is looking forward with hatred to the new Zerg Empress who can devour the Terrans!
……
"Warning! The Zerg starship is approaching! "Warning ......"
The sirens sounded, and the entire starship suddenly fell into a panic of despair.
"How could the Zerg suddenly appear here?!" "Report to the top! Request support! "The Zerg are making a comeback again? Haven't they been silent for a hundred years? "We're finished, there's no way we're going to escape." "Please, who will save us......" "I don't want to die, I'm still young, how could I meet the Zerg." "Where is the Northern Seven Star Army? Haven't they always been in charge of guarding the Zerg? Why is there no news at all! ”……
In the captain's room, a neatly dressed middle-aged man looked at the huge Zerg starship that was suddenly discovered by the scanning system and was getting closer and closer, and calmly uploaded the video recording his last words, and at the same time turned on the spaceship's broadcast system.
“…… I'm the captain of the XJHX750...... The spacecraft is not equipped with T-level or higher weaponry...... There are 35 small flight pods on the B4 floor...... Please go to the ...... in an orderly manner I will fight until the last moment......"
"Fire!"
With the order given, countless lights flickered, hitting the incomparably huge Zerg starship in front, compared with the Zerg starship, this starship was like a sesame seed placed in front of a watermelon, small and inconspicuous.
In the rear of the ship, small flight pods flew out one after another, flying in all directions, trying to find hope of survival.
But what makes people desperate is that the starship's artillery fire hit the Zerg starship, and it didn't even cause any damage, not even a splash, while countless hideous and terrifying Zerg kept crawling out of the starship, appearing naked in the vacuum of the universe, chasing after those flight capsules at a speed not weaker than the spaceship.
"Stop them!" The captain tried his last hand to give orders, but unfortunately, even if these artillery fires could indeed cause damage to these ordinary zergs, they could not stop these almost countless zergs at all.
The spaceship was submerged in the boundless Zerg, and the energy shield as a shield quickly lost its effect, and the metal shell was gnawed clean by the Zerg's sharp mouthparts until there was no trace left.
Controlling the shutdown of the starship, the Zerg Empress did not order the Zerg wandering in space to return, and just let them go in different directions.
It needs a chaos that will leave the cunning and treacherous Terrans unpaid attention to its developing Zerg queens, and it will need to prepare the right battlefield for the new Zerg.
Moreover, these endless Zergs, aren't they the good things that your Terrans have done, the Zerg Empress looked coldly at the distant direction, that is the place where the Terrans have the most.
……
"Why did it suddenly appear there, doesn't it mean it's almost in its final stages......" The man in military uniform slammed the table.
In the holographic projection, the scientific researcher in the white coat shook his head, "It is precisely because it has reached the final stage that it will fight back." ”
"After that, your Northern Seven Star Army needs to prepare in advance to deal with a possible Zerg attack, and it will not stop attacking it once and then stopping."
"In other words, those extra zergs can't be consumed just once."
The man in military uniform gritted his teeth and sighed helplessly, "Sometimes I really don't know if using that genetic medicine is a good thing." ”
"At least it did give us a hundred years of stability." The researcher raised an eyebrow.
That's what we did to beat the Zerg away first, and the man in military uniform held back what he wanted to say, recalling the effect of the genetic potion - the enhancement of reproductive genes.
Induce the "reproduction" instinct in genes to produce a large number of offspring by overdrawing life.
The Zerg Empress, who was immersed in reproduction, did not attack the Terrans for nearly a hundred years...... It refers to the Terran galaxy within the defense line of the Northern Seven Star Army, and as for the marginal star regions occupied by the Zerg, it is not counted.
But the Zerg Empress, who suddenly realized the truth, was not easy to solve before she died, not to mention that the Zerg had been bombarding troops for almost a hundred years, and the number was exaggerated to the extent that men in military uniforms did not want to calculate.
"We're not unprepared, are we?" The researcher smiled, "New weapons are already on the way, let the Zerg experience the surprises we have prepared for them in the past hundred years." ”
