Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 168 Those with “virtue” live there (page 12)

Zero was initially worried that the other party's resource detection satellite would discover numerous Zerg bases hidden deep underground. After all, no one knew what principle the other party used for such detection.

But then he realized that he might have been worrying too much.

At the beginning, in order to destroy the Lizardmen civilization on the ocean in one fell swoop, before launching a general attack, the Zerg secretly established a Zerg base under every island where there were traces of the Lizardmen, and hatched and bred a large number of Zerg units.

The existence of these bases directly brought an end to the lizard people's island civilization soon after. Under the deliberate and unintentional raids of the Zerg, the entire main body of the civilization was destroyed in a short period of time. Tens of millions of individual lizard people were killed by the Zerg. died during the settlement.

The Zerg also obtained a lot of technological knowledge from the other civilization, which laid the initial knowledge foundation for Sass to advance Zerg biotechnology into the microscopic world.

After the war, these bases were not abandoned by Zero. They served as anchors for the Zerg to control the entire planet, firmly nailed under every island.

As time passed, the biological activities in these underground Zerg bases gradually weakened, and eventually, like many global bases, they fell into silence.

A few years ago, after Zero discovered that there was a suspicious flying object approaching Orui in space, although he was not sure at the time, due to his own character, he still took a firm hand and moved the Zerg bases on these islands that were originally close to the surface again. Migrate deeper.

With the help of the Zerg diggers, this was not a large project that was difficult to complete. This level of migration was not difficult. It did not take much time to complete the move, and the base originally located directly below the lizard city was Completely abandoned.

Soon after, the Octopus Man's satellite appeared in orbit. In order to avoid being noticed, Zero did not make any other moves.

Now, the opponent's exploration team finally arrived at the ruins of civilization left by the lizard people, even though this time was much later than Zero expected.

He knew very well that in order to attack the lizard people's maritime civilization and capture their scientific research talents, the Zerg adopted the method of breaking in from the ground.

In other words, these bottom-up passages all lead to the original Zerg base.

Although a hundred years have passed, the environment here has changed greatly, and the Zerg have basically no longer moved in those original passages, and most of them have even collapsed under the action of time and ceased to exist.

But if the other party is willing to investigate, they can still find some clues. After all, not long ago, the Zerg base was not far below the city, and there must still be some traces left in it. The original Zero did not confirm 100% that the foreign enemy was invading, so it was Not too detailed.

However, what made Zero feel more at ease was that the opponent's aircraft passed over the ruins of civilization, only stayed for a short period of time, and after confirming that these were indeed ruins left behind and not some characteristic building of civilization, they quickly left again.

Not only that, the so-called alien black technology that Zero was worried about before, that is, satellite technology that can detect deep mineral veins through thick strata, obviously does not exist, at least the other party should not have revealed it yet.

Because the location where they stayed was actually right above the Zerg base. If something was discovered, given the vastness of the Zerg base and their size, there was no reason why it would not attract their attention.

Of course, the possibility of the opponent playing hard to get is not ruled out, but comparatively speaking, it is more likely that this kind of detection satellite cannot do this.

For the octopus people, they have no extra time and energy to waste on exploring the ruins. They only need to confirm that the indigenous people here will not interfere with their subsequent work.

At present, their strength and personnel cannot afford this waste of time due to curiosity. After the fire grows and ignites civilization again, there will be plenty of time to explore.

Strengthening the colony is their first priority during this trip. As for the specific reasons for the loss of indigenous civilization, for them, although it is not insignificant, this matter still has a certain value, but in today's priority, It's also quite far back.

Therefore, they only did a basic exploration here, and after confirming that it did not pose a threat to their own activities, the aircraft headed straight for the mine that was already half-exploited but is now dilapidated again.

However, this behavior fell into Zero's eyes, once again adding another piece of evidence to his previous guess.

Although there is no direct evidence yet, with zero intuition, it is very likely that it is the truth!

"Perhaps, this is not actually an interstellar colonization team of an alien civilization..." He said to himself in his heart.

"At least it won't be a powerful colonial team. One thing is almost confirmed, they lack personnel and resources!"

Although the technology aspect is indeed in line with Zero's basic understanding of civilizations with interstellar navigation capabilities, this does not mean that they are really as powerful as they seem!

Combined with the spacecraft that looked like it was under attack, and the opponent's various behaviors after landing on the planet, it did not look like an interstellar colonization team with a powerful civilization as the backing and guarantee. The timid actions were more like... A group of refugees fleeing from famine!

If that's the case, then there's something to be said for it.

As we all know, there is a completely different treatment when there is someone behind you and when there is no one behind you. Even now, Zero is still quite wary of these technological products that are far beyond the Zerg. If he launches an attack rashly, he has no chance of winning. After all, the Zerg is really beyond the reach of the spacecraft hanging in space.

But if this can be confirmed, then it is equivalent to lifting a layer of shackles. At least he does not have to worry about subsequent troubles after launching an attack on the opponent here.

Of course, it's still too early to talk about this. This is just a guess based on the available information. It is also possible that this behavior pattern is just a characteristic of the other party's civilization, or there are some deeper reasons that are unknown.

If you want to get practical verification, it seems that there is only one way at present, and that is to capture the opponent's civilized individuals and let Sass conduct a live analysis. In this way, you can get answers to everything about the specific situation, and no matter how bad it is, you can get a lot of useful information. .

It's just that if you want to do this, with the opponent's current level of caution and the level of technology such as weapons revealed, the Zerg will not have a good chance.

Standing still is a kind of wisdom.

If the other party is the first to discover the existence of the Zerg and knows the actual information about the Zerg, such as the Zerg's reproductive capacity and terrifying number or even the core information of Sass itself, then there is no doubt that Zero and his Zerg will be very passive.

In this case, even if zero speculation is true, a liquidation war from a "high-level" civilization is absolutely unavoidable.

Even if this "high-level" civilization is actually a parallel import that cannot be protected by itself, it still has a strong foundation, as evidenced by the satellites and spaceships floating in space.

That would be an extremely troublesome thing, because the Zerg simply do not have the ability to go into space to pose a threat to it, and the opponent's aircraft are now too fast for any Zerg unit to even follow behind and eat dust, and the Zerg's sharp Whether the sharp teeth can gnaw through the copper and iron walls built by the opponent is also a question.
