Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

This is the third time that a Zerg unit has reappeared through the mineral vein channel, and it is also the second time that Zero has seen "Zhu Na". Of course, at this time, he still doesn't know what it is.

When the darkness that literally covered the sky shrouded the insect swarm, no life could escape. Almost at the same time, everyone died in that galaxy.

This time, when the Zerg appeared, there was darkness in front of him. Zero had already expected it, so when he once again witnessed the wonder of the universe "in front of his eyes", he was very calm.

During the short period of time when the light reappeared, Zero tried to use this scientific research unit to locate the specific location here, but to no avail. The stars in the night sky were dim and unfamiliar.

This is a galaxy that is completely unfamiliar to the Zerg!

Although the time was short, Zero could basically determine that this place was not in the same river system as the Zerg. In other words, this place was at least an extragalactic galaxy for the Zerg. Where exactly it was, Zero could not know in such a short period of time.

But one thing is certain, this place is completely different from the last time the Zerg appeared!

In other words, the insect swarm came out of the passage twice and encountered unknown cosmic phenomena twice, but they were not at the same location! In other words, such changes that can swallow stars or even entire galaxies may not be uncommon in the universe. At least in galaxies with energy veins, this conclusion is likely to be true. Otherwise, there is no reason for the Zerg to be able to survive for two consecutive years. We met!

The time left for Zero to observe was too short. Even if he made the insect swarm take self-rescue actions as soon as he reacted, it was of no use. They died easily, as if they had never appeared.

Zero was a little solemn. If it could be regarded as an accident last time, it could not be ignored this time.

"What on earth is this?" Zero asked himself, but no one could answer. There are many creatures that can easily kill the insect swarm. Even well-equipped Velvet warriors can easily complete the massacre of a large area of ​​insect swarms in one-on-one situations. But this was completely different from what this strange and bizarre phenomenon had brought to him.

It can directly interfere with stars, including the entire star like a piece of "clothing", not letting a trace of light shine through, and causing all macroscopic objects to lose many of their apparent characteristics, leaving only the gravitational field. What is this? The power? !

He had some guesses. Based on the only two observations of the Zerg itself, Zero thought that maybe this might not be a cosmic phenomenon, but a living creature!

But this is actually even more unbelievable.Can life really do this?He doesn't know, can't really be sure, there's just so little information.

However, the existence of the gravitational field reminded him of the energy veins closely related to it.

The reason why the Zerg can see this kind of "creature", let's call it a creature, is because of the "channel" brought by the energy veins, and both the former and the latter have a common characteristic. There are no other features exposed on the surface, but they are all related to gravity.

"Perhaps there is some connection between the two!" Zero thought.

There is currently too little data to draw any conclusions. Just like last time, although some speculations have been made, they cannot be confirmed at all and can only be shelved.

But this time, Zero kept it in mind. He felt that this would not be the last time the Zerg encountered this phenomenon.

Over the years, the number of swarms of insects that have been sent into the passage by Zero has increased to 16 batches. They are all still alive, even after more than a hundred years. A little time has not affected their lives, but so far they have appeared There are only these three waves in the real universe.

Based on the current conditions, there is a high probability that the remaining insect swarms are still "on the road", and they will definitely appear in the universe in the future.

However, when they appear, will they face an intelligent race like the Velvets, a terrifying monster that blocks the sky and cannot be observed or explored, or something else? We can only wait until something really happens. Only then will you know.

Zerg main base.

The Zerg sphere of influence centered on Orui has completed eight rounds of expansion after so many years of hard work. Every ten years or so, a group of Zerg swarms will depart from the explored areas and head towards more unknown galaxies. go.

Today, a huge force that occupies hundreds of galaxies and spans hundreds of light-years has appeared in the river system. From this point of view, the Zerg are already on the same level as the Velvets. , in terms of development level, it far exceeds.

Of course, there are many problems with the main group of Zerg. Although they occupy many planets, it is difficult to exchange resources with each other. This has greatly reduced the results of the expansion of the Zerg group to such an extent. So far, these have been The occupied galaxies are still fighting on their own, and there is basically no material exchange.

Therefore, in these years, while dealing with the Velvets, the brainworms have been working towards super-light speed, but the results have been with little success.

From a theoretical basis, since the development of the Zerg, there has been a need for this, but there are not many conjectures about this to verify one by one.

And compared to intelligent civilization, the Zerg are indeed far inferior in terms of extremely high-end precision research.

The gap between a race that has been developing its brain and hands-on ability since ancient times and a race that is born with only a few intelligent units and the vast majority of individuals without the ability to think is visible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of years ago, Zero once thought that perhaps with the increase in the number of brain worms and their further strengthening of Zerg biotechnology, this problem might be solved, at least in all aspects it would not be inferior to ordinary intelligent civilization. .

But now it seems that he is still a little optimistic. Thinking ability and intelligence are one thing. In this regard, the Cerebrates are far beyond even the chief scientist of the Velvet people. However, over the years, the technological progress of the Zerg is really not that fast.

They are indeed moving forward, but their speed always makes Zero not satisfied. So far, the Zerg's important technological revolutions and technological explosions have all relied on other races.

This is one of the reasons why Zero is determined to change the way the Zerg deal with other civilizations after meeting the Velvets this time.

Of course, there is also a reason why the Velvets are not so easy to deal with.

Using an intelligent civilization as a technology farm, harvesting scientific and technological achievements internally, and forcing it externally with the threat of war, combined with the potential influence within the civilization, allowing the Velvet civilization to develop in the direction that the Zerg needs, may have unexpected effects.

In Zerg 1195, in the Critchtel system, while sending the 17th batch of Zerg units into the channel, Sass stably sent Zerg units into the Fowler body for the first time without causing any adverse reactions.

Although these are just some insignificant Zerg individuals that exist like symbiotic bacteria. Once they make a larger move, they will be immediately noticed by the host, but it is also of great significance.

This means that if there is no need, Sars may even spread microbial insect seeds into nature on a large scale, so that all Fowler people on the planet will suffer the same treatment.
