Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

From Zero's perspective, the octopus man has been doing things at the "crime scene" for half a month. It is unknown what information he has obtained. However, this kind of detection has never stopped, and has even spread to various surrounding islands. There are signs, presumably that they have discovered some clues.

But Zero didn't care about this anymore, because just two days ago, the memory storer had sent himself to Sass.

Now Zero is waiting to get information from Sass to verify his guess.

After so many years of growth, Sass is no longer the same as before. Coupled with the bonus of the Hive Mind, although it has not yet reached the level where one can draw conclusions the next second after meeting, it is no longer possible. It can often take months or even years.

During this period of time, although the octopus man has been moving frequently, moving around, using technological weapons to explore underground, he seems to have an attitude of never giving up until he understands everything.

However, the Zerg did not move at all under Zero's order. All the Zerg units in all the Zerg bases on the entire planet have completely entered silence.

Zero and the others are waiting, waiting for the results from Sars, and also waiting for the next fate of the Octopus or the Zerg themselves!

Yes, the memory extracted from the mind of the octopus will be related to the relationship between the two parties. Whether the Zerg realizes the gap and takes the initiative to give in, or drives the invaders back to space will be determined by the information obtained this time. .

So even though many of the Zerg bases may have been exposed to the Octopus people's sight, Zero didn't care much.

Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of Zerg bases around the world. They are discovered as soon as they are discovered. So what?

As long as the other party hasn't really taken action, such as going underground to carry out a comprehensive settlement, Zero will not take action.

Of course, he would soon know that the other party did not have such ability.

It is not difficult to break into the ground, it just takes a little longer, but to completely wipe out the Zerg, unless the spacecraft in space turns on its only space-based weapon, and uses precise guidance to attack the ground from space. Targeted elimination, otherwise the few people who have logged in, even if they have more powerful anti-personnel weapons, will not be able to kill them as long as they let go of the Zerg hatching restrictions.

But if we really do this, with the number of Zerg bases, the entire planet will become a mess.

And to do this, there is a necessary prerequisite - energy.

Drifting from dozens of light-years away, the main driving energy on this spacecraft has been almost exhausted.

The extraction of conventional energy is basically out of the question now that colonial activities have not yet taken off.

As for collecting solar energy from stars, it is indeed a source, but this method is already the limit for the entire spacecraft to meet the daily supply and demand, so as to urge the spacecraft to change its orbit on the orbit, or It is to drive weapons to launch space attacks. Now that the materials on the spacecraft are extremely scarce, once or twice is okay, but as for more, it is really powerless.

When it comes to destroying the planet, that's out of the question. They don't have such ability at all, and they can't even completely destroy the planet's ecological environment!

The situation faced by the Octopus Man now is very embarrassing. This embarrassment is not only reflected in the inability to start during the initial confrontation with the Zerg, but also reflected in this seemingly powerful spaceship!

To put it simply, the remaining driving energy in the spacecraft is no longer enough to accelerate it to the speed of interstellar navigation, and even the third cosmic speed of Herprius is somewhat reluctant.

In other words, their space trip was a one-way ticket before the energy replenishment was completed!

This kind of all-or-nothing interstellar survival was originally full of a gambling mentality of failure or failure. Due to time constraints, when they set off from Crystal, they had no time to make more adequate preparations and could only be alone. The earth took this step that spanned fifty light years. At that time, it was already destined to be like this situation today.

If nothing unexpected happens, even if they can settle down here and develop normally, they will not be able to regain the ability to enter the infinite deep space in the next few hundred years, let alone what is there on the surface of the earth today. Zerg exists!

Back then, between inevitable destruction and a gamble, they had no choice but to choose the latter, and they should have already had the consciousness to face the current situation.

I have to say that they did make the right bet. If the Zerg had not appeared and the lizard people were still in charge here, even if they could develop smoothly for another two hundred years on the original basis, they would never be able to complete it by the time the octopus people arrived. When Flying Dream enters space, it naturally has no ability to resist.

So under normal circumstances, the octopus man is indeed capable of turning this place into his new home.

Unfortunately, what they encountered was the Zerg, a race that was extremely irrational, and now, they had no way out...

………………

In the main control room of the spacecraft, Jimenez communicates with all current survivors through satellite signal connection.

"As we can see, there is a... strange creature hidden under the surface of this planet.

Whether this creature is the native civilization that retreated underground, we don’t know due to lack of information.

But here is a bold speculation, put forward by scholar Ariat for your reference. "

"He believes that based on the aggression displayed by these strange creatures and the number of terrifying individuals that have been detected or speculated so far, it is very likely that they are the exterminators of native civilizations!"

"This is not completely unfounded. In the civilization ruins on the surface, we found traces of potholes similar to the previous attacks. Since they appear to be very old and severely damaged, it is basically impossible to study and judge. However, there is a huge underground space below the ruins. , similar to many deeper voids that have been discovered.”

"Ariat believes that although it is strange, these bugs should be a species that was recently born on this planet, or that they have recently acquired the ability to destroy the indigenous civilization of this planet.

Of course, this recent period is relative to the history of the planet, which is still measured in hundreds of years.

Based on the backward calculation of the degree of dilapidation, the destruction time of this indigenous civilization should not exceed two hundred years. In other words, if the previous speculation is true, then about two hundred years ago, these bugs attacked this planet just like they attacked us. The indigenous civilization above them will be destroyed.

Then, they retreated underground, and just as detected, they basically stopped moving until we arrived, and for some reason they launched an attack again. "

Jimenez introduced the situation in front of his compatriots who were now distributed in various positions.

"This is a reasonable speculation about the other party's origin and has a certain degree of credibility. Due to their sudden appearance, the current colonization plan has basically come to a halt, which is very detrimental to us.

You all know the situation we are facing, and how to deal with it requires a charter as soon as possible. "

"What needs to be made clear is that this is not an ordinary difficulty, but a major crisis involving the survival of civilization to the same extent as the previous spacecraft collision!
