Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

"In the year 583 of the New Calendar, the first routine record:

I was awakened from my slumber by Kazar and went on duty for ten years with twelve teammates.

This was the end of my seventh hibernation on the voyage.

Our journey is not smooth, and the dark universe is not all peaceful.

Along the way, we suffered a total of 642 unknown celestial body impacts, 1603 instrument failures caused by unknown radiation, and a total of 16296 faults were eliminated. After 620 sidereal years, this space voyage ship built with the highest technology at the time has been scarred. .

To this day, there are still 122 non-fatal faults that have not been eliminated. It is not because we are not working hard enough. This is beyond human power. We have tried our best.

In the year 562 of the New Calendar, the spacecraft suffered serious trauma while traveling through an unknown asteroid belt.

We have lost more than 40 percent of our "seeds" and one-sixth of our energy reserves.

That was also the sixth time I was awakened. We have worked so hard to save ourselves in space.

Fifty-three companions were lost forever in the cold space. Therefore, we had to speed up the frequency and number of rotations to ensure the safety of the voyage as much as possible. "

“Fortunately, that disaster did not cause fatal damage to the spacecraft. Although the damage was huge, we were able to barely repair it.

Unfortunately, the energy loss is too huge. After calculation, even if the subsequent voyage is smooth sailing, our remaining energy can only barely complete the deceleration and dock into the target star system.

If another accident occurs, we may very well be lost in the endless darkness forever.

It's so bad! "

"In the year 592 of the New Calendar, the first routine record:

My duty is about to end. Fortunately, I did not encounter any huge troubles that cannot be solved during this period. After another Cretan day, I will go to sleep again. If nothing happens, I will wake up next time. , we will be in the process of decelerating towards the target star system-Herprius, and that will also be my last duty.

As usual, I will summarize the work of the past ten years here to facilitate the reception of the next round of duty personnel.

Currently, our distance from Hepreus is 9.34 light-years. If nothing goes wrong, after continuing to sail for 106 years, the spacecraft will enter a state of deceleration, continue to decelerate for 33 years before reaching a reasonable speed, and then dock into Herpurus.

In the past ten years, my colleagues and I have solved 53 routine failures. Unfortunately, we are still unable to do anything about several more serious failures left over from the past.

terribly sorry.

Although they will not affect the forward movement of the spacecraft currently, they may become the biggest uncontrollable factor as we decelerate, so these troubles still have to be left to you to think about.

After nearly six hundred years of sailing, our energy surplus is 32% of the total, and our redundancy is only 2%.

We can't afford any more losses, so please be cautious.

There were no personnel losses, but the physical data of three dormant companions were somewhat abnormal. According to the plan, we did not wake them up, but conducted external intervention on them. The current situation has improved slightly, so please stay tuned.

besides………

…………

Although I have said it many times, until now, I have gradually begun to transition from a highly praised outstanding young elite to the end of my life, but I still have to say it again.

Our civilization will never become extinct. A new paradise is ahead. One day, we will return to Crystal and our mother planet, just like what is described in ancient history, and rekindle the fire there. Light up!

We will overcome everything! "

………………

Zero quietly looked at the quiet and vast starry sky in front of him, with endless reverie in his heart.

Regarding the hypothesis of whether extraterrestrial civilizations once existed, He can now give a positive answer for the original ethnic group.

Because all life on this planet, including lizards and bugs, are considered alien life.

Given the vastness of the universe, no matter how small the probability is, it will become inevitable in infinite space and extremely long time scales.

He was suddenly eager to see more civilization. Now there are hundreds of millions of Zerg units dormant under the surface and in the ocean. Even the original fun of exploring the unknown has gradually disappeared from the zero life.

Although the scientific level of the Zerg has been advancing due to Sass's efforts, Zero still inevitably feels that he seems to be gradually becoming less like a living being.

His thinking became more and more rational, and there were very few things that could make waves in his heart.

Emotions such as anger, joy, sadness, and surprise seemed to slowly disappear in his life.

Reason told him that this change was definitely beneficial to the Zerg, but deep down in his heart, Zero still felt that he should retain some emotions, which was proof that he had once been a real life.

So at this moment, looking at the deep, quiet but dark space of the universe, Zero suddenly started to look forward to the life that the Zerg would encounter in the future.

But he also knew that based on the current level of development, if an alien civilization really invaded the planet, the Zerg might really be defeated.

Zero is still very self-aware. Those space-based weapons are definitely a dimensionality-reducing blow to today's Zerg, and it is almost certain that a civilization capable of interstellar navigation will possess such weapons.

So even though he had expectations in his heart, he didn't want his enemies to come to him now.

However, considering the vastness of the universe, even if there are many alien civilizations in it, it is not a high probability event to discover a planet with only primitive life in the vast sea of ​​stars.

Zero didn't think he would be so weak, and the alien civilization came all the way just to defeat the Zerg or other native races and occupy a planet. Even if the planet was special, Zero didn't think it was necessary.

In fact, apart from the existence of life, there is nothing special about this planet. There are hundreds of billions of stars in the vast universe, let alone planets.

All in all, Zero doesn't think that the land under the Zerg's feet is anything special in the entire universe, nor does he think there will be any aliens coming from all the way here to give the weak Zerg a heavy blow.

Compared to this, he has been thinking about a more philosophical issue recently.

That is, what is the significance of the Zerg's efforts to become stronger?

Recently, Zero sometimes feels like he has no desires or desires. This feeling seemed familiar, because whenever the insect swarm developed to a certain extent, he would unconsciously have this thought.

When it comes to survival, the Zerg have basically occupied the entire planet. They have not encountered any threatening existence in terms of survival. Even those natural disasters that temporarily seem invincible will, within the foreseeable time, the Zerg swarm will board the planet in the future. Space will also be basically lifted later.

As for demand, apart from Zero and Sass, Zerg individuals do not have any ambitions or desires.
