Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

For Zero, the world will never be absolutely safe. Looking back now, it is a bit ridiculous to have such a mentality of being content with the status quo when the ethnic group was so weak.

The situation now is similar to the original situation. In the known area, the Zerg swarm also has no decent enemies, but when it comes to being powerful, the current Zerg swarm is far from being comparable.

Perhaps compared with the Lizardmen, the Zerg can be pushed all the way in a crushing manner, but if the Lizardmen's technological level advances a little further, if the opponent has stronger weapons, such as firearms and other hot weapons that exist in Zero's mind, Weapons, so with the abilities that the newly born Zerg have now, it will definitely not be that simple to win, and it may even be impossible to defeat them at all.

Victory in the war against the lizard people is inevitable, or it can be said to be accidental.

If the Zerg were born a hundred or two hundred years later, Zero wasn't even sure they would have a chance to get out of the island. By then, if there are no accidents, the other party must have basically completed the exploration of the planet. It is impossible for there to be such a huge uninhabited island waiting for the insect swarm to develop, and it is even less likely that it will be overrun by the insects within just a few months of the war. The group fight fell apart...

Of course, this is just an assumption. The fact is that the insect swarm has destroyed the Lizardman Empire and has become the only master of this continent. All the Lizardmen have in fact become lambs to be slaughtered.

However, the characteristics of the insect swarm dictate that even if they are still at their weakest, they will be absolutely crushed when encountering a civilization of this level of development. Luck is on the side of the insect swarm. On this side of zero.

When the Zerg appeared, there was no powerful surface civilization on this planet, only aborigines in the feudal era.

Luck is never a reason to rely on. Even if there are no external enemies, in Zero's mind, there are at least seven or eight disasters that can completely destroy the current Zerg race.

If you choose comfort, then the unexpected will come sooner or later. When time stretches out in comfort, things no matter how small the probability is will gradually become inevitable. Therefore, we can never stop. Zero can only move forward, and the Zerg can only move forward.

Currently, in the known world of the Zerg, apart from the ocean, there is only this continent and many islands that have been explored in the sea.

Since the first continent exists, Zero does not believe that this is the only land in this world.

Although this piece of land is not small in area, it only occupies a few tenths of the surface of the planet in Zero's impression. Judging from this conclusion, although the area that has been explored by the insect swarm is not small, it is still only a very small area compared to the entire world. The existence of other continents in the vast unknown area is a high probability event.

As the vanguard of exploration, the insect swarm naturally takes on the important task of finding other land while opening up the ocean.

Judging from the records of the Sadman Empire, it seems that no alien race has ever arrived here.

This is actually a relatively important piece of information. Such a huge landmass has not been discovered yet, which can only explain two things.

One is that the Sadman Empire is indeed the only civilization that exists in the world. Although they are still in the primary stage of civilization, they actually own everything on this planet alone. Zero thinks this is unlikely.

The second is that there are other civilizations on the entire planet, but the level of development of these civilizations is not high. Even if they are stronger than the Sadman Empire, they are extremely limited. This should be a more likely inference. At least from the perspective of zero, there is a high possibility that other civilizations exist in an unknown area.

From this point of view, the Zerg were indeed born in a wonderful era. Here, there are luxuriant creatures and numerous species, but there are no enemies that can truly threaten the survival of the Zerg. This is the luck of the Zerg, but it is also the fate of all possible civilizations. Unlucky.

At present, it seems that assuming that there are other civilizations on this planet, or simply other civilizations established by the lizard people, they should not be enough to pose a threat to the Zerg. Then only natural disasters that are enough to destroy the world can completely wipe out the Zerg.

Such a natural disaster is unpredictable. At least with the current methods of the insect swarm, some signs may be found in a short period of time before it occurs, but there is no way to deal with it.

In Zero's mind, it seems that there was once a group of people who were very prosperous and completely ruled the entire planet, but were completely exterminated in the disaster of annihilation.

In his opinion, under this great power, today's Zerg race will not have any possibility of survival. Ninety-nine percent of the life on this planet will die, and for a long time thereafter, no one will survive. More suitable for biological survival.

Although such a disaster is extremely rare, once it occurs, with the ability of the Zerg, Zero is almost destined to fall into silence again, or in other words, die.

Zero didn't know whether he was a special kind of life. Whether in reality or in the so-called memory in his mind, he had never seen a creature similar to himself.

But there is no doubt that He is not an emotionless consciousness. He has his own emotions, joy, sorrow, and even fear. He cannot be indifferent to his own demise.

If the Zerg stop here and dominate this continent, they may seem carefree and contented, but in fact they are just waiting for death.

When time is stretched infinitely, all small possibilities will become inevitable.

In addition to constantly collecting new species to enrich Sass's knowledge base, the Zerg exploring the ocean are also tasked with finding and being vigilant about other intelligent groups that may exist.

However, ocean exploration is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and Zero is very patient about it. Regarding the global exploration team at the front, Zero actually had some ideas. In a sense, this idea was the most important reason for him to let the insect swarm launch a global exploration.

Although the information that appeared in his mind kept telling him that the current location of the insect swarm was a planet, and various daily observations could be used as evidence to confirm this.

But without actually seeing it with his own eyes, Zero still didn't dare to completely confirm. Because confirming this is an important reference for the future development of the Zerg race, he must be completely sure.

Now, all Zero's plans for the future of the swarm are basically based on the fact that this is indeed a planet.

But if this is just an illusion, or a coincidence, and this world is not the sphere he takes for granted, then Zero's entire worldview will be reshaped, and all future arrangements for the Zerg need to be reconsidered.

Exploring one's own environment is actually a biological instinct. Only by knowing what kind of environment we are in can we make targeted planning and development.

Zero's current overall understanding of the world, in addition to the limited vision provided by the Zerg, comes more from the inherent information in his mind. This kind of information has almost no errors or omissions in the past, and He also trusts this information enough.

But on this point, he still hopes to be personally confirmed by the Zerg themselves, which is very important.

In terms of ocean navigation, the Zerg from the islands have more experience than the Lizardmen, but they are also extremely limited. When they first explored westward from the archipelago to find the mainland, there were countless swarms of Zerg that lost their way.

Above the ocean, the Zerg also need to confirm the direction to ensure that they can always move in the right direction.

The positioning method obtained from the lizard people can do this, and their research on the stars has given Zero a lot of inspiration.

Perhaps in the future, their observations of the starry sky will become the first information for the Zerg space exploration. From this aspect, although the lizardman civilization is weak, it can indeed be called prosperous.

Sure enough, it seems a bit strange to split one chapter into two chapters. . . .
