Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

A poor insect was captured by an unknown civilization and was about to meet his tragic fate.

But Zero has already made arrangements, so he has nothing to worry about.

The Zerg will not completely lose monitoring of this place after its death, but will slowly and quietly grow in size!

The spaceship began to move. Zero's field of vision was limited and he could not see the whole picture. With the dark universe as the background, the moving objects were not conspicuous here. They were obviously running through the universe at extremely fast speeds, but from a close distance it seemed as if they had never been seen before. Moved.

What makes Zero strange is that he entered this strange "passage" from the "entrance" - let's call it a passage. So far, there are about five batches of Zerg that have entered it. They are all alive. It was placed in place as an experimental unit and forced into the passage.

This bug that was captured as a slice of research material was the second batch of life that entered it alive.

Before it, there was a batch of about five scientific research insect species. Even now, Zero can still feel that they are still alive, but why haven't they come out from here?

If calculated based on time, the time interval between them and this insect entering the channel is as long as several decades. If we guess with the simplest way of thinking, since they are alive, even if they want to appear in other star fields, They should come out first.

But why did this one appear first?

While the bug was being packaged and transported by an unknown biological entity, Ling thought about this issue.

Assuming that this "channel" leads to a distant unknown star field, and this is the exit of this "channel", then there are two possibilities for the previous question.

First, although this "channel" is directly connected, its internal environment is extremely complicated. The first group of insects that entered the "channel" got lost in it, and only this one "walked" out by accident. .

Secondly, there is more than one exit to this passage, and the other insect swarms that enter it are on their way to a strange star field!

Of course, the Zerg's understanding of the universe is still somewhat superficial. It is very likely that there are some characteristics that Zero doesn't know about. He is just speculating based on common sense, even if this common sense is probably just his bias based on the current situation.

Zero doesn't know what the situation is, but since the Zerg units that entered it are still alive, maybe they will appear again in the future. By then, we can naturally infer what is in this "channel" based on more phenomena. situation.

With this change, what Zero has to do now is to send more Zerg units into the "channel" through that cosmic wonder to achieve the purpose of sample diversity.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is about this civilization discovered by the Zerg by chance.

Zero had roughly guessed why the opponent was able to attack the Zerg unit as soon as it appeared.

Being able to appear in this special position at exactly this time, there is no doubt that the other party is waiting for the "channel" to open!

In other words, we are waiting for the energy crystal brought by this cosmic wonder!

Obviously, they are doing the same thing as the Zerg, they are also collecting energy crystals here, but this time, they have an unexpected harvest.

Zero didn't know if there was any precedent for a creature to "walk out" from the "passage" before, but judging from the other party's cautious reaction, there was a high probability that it had never happened before, and even if it had, it should be uncommon.

Thinking about it, life like the Zerg is considered unique in the universe. After all, it is not an easy task for ordinary technological civilizations to evolve themselves to the point where they can roam in the deep space of the universe with their own bodies.

Perhaps that's why this bug can be treated with such caution. But Zero believed that soon He would reveal the true face of this mysterious civilization.

In fact, from the appearance and structure of the spacecraft, we can have a rough guess about the style of the entire civilization. This extremely regular spacecraft, which does not reflect a strong sense of science fiction, seems to represent a rigorous and pragmatic race.

Zero likes this kind of civilization. With these characteristics, their technological system must be quite complete and developed.

The microscopic insect species attached to the spacecraft remain dormant, and Zero needs to be cautious enough before achieving his goal.

After all, this is a completely unknown civilization. Even the original octopus people were able to detect underground insect swarms from a distance. Before it develops and grows, everything must be careful.

Because of this, Zero cannot have a wider field of view through them at this stage, and cannot even observe the entire spaceship.

It is obviously accelerating, but its specific acceleration of zero is difficult to accurately measure. The poor bug has been completely treated like a guinea pig used in experiments. Although it is not completely dead, it is already a piece of fish on the chopping board. .

All that can be done now is to wait, waiting for the other party to arrive at the destination, or waiting for other useful information to appear.

On the microscopic level, swarms of insects are quietly dormant. They are given the ability to reproduce and expand themselves under certain conditions, and eventually evolve into a Zerg base.

As long as conditions permit, they will naturally wake up and establish a new Zerg hatchery in this completely unfamiliar star field. Eventually, all the existing Zerg species will be able to reappear here!

...............................

Zero waited quietly. Due to limited information, he could not know where the Zerg on the other side was now, whether it had transcended the river system where the Zerg was now, or whether it was still in another unknown area within the river system.

This needs to be confirmed from its side by looking for familiar star fields or stars in the universe. Under today's conditions, this is naturally impossible.

It is worth mentioning that when the "exit" was opened, the "entrance" here in the Critchtel Galaxy did not respond at all.

This shows that the two are not synchronized, at least not in the general sense of time.

The reason why I say this is because Zero knows that time is actually just a relative concept, and it is not absolutely unchangeable.

When the conjecture of dimensions appeared in Zero's mind, the concept of time in a general sense no longer applied to this "channel". Perhaps in high-dimensional space, time is just a line that can be played with at will.

Of course, these are all illusory things without any evidence. Compared with the Zerg's current understanding of the universe, there is not much value in thinking about these questions. Currently, what Zero wants to do about this channel is just to understand it. Take advantage of it and that's it.

As for how it was formed and why it appears in the real universe, that is something that needs to be considered in the future.

Time passed little by little. Although an unknown civilization was discovered at the other end of the passage, the development of the Zerg race here has not stopped.

Zero pays close attention to everything about the "passage", including the many Zerg units that have entered it. Maybe in the next moment they will appear in another completely unfamiliar star field, bringing Zero different surprises.

In Zerg 1114, Sars "sent" another batch of Zerg units into the passage and disappeared.
