King from scratch

kingdom.

"Bird?" He Xingwen glanced out the window. Chiqing was flying in the sky, which was pleasing to the eye, but the news was not so pleasing to the eye.

It is the unanimous conclusion of all that the mutation on the top of the mountain is not contagious, and the main evidence comes from the fact that the dwarves have no abnormality after contact with the mutant creature.

But if the mutated creatures in the South China Sea have successfully parasitized birds, it would be difficult to categorically divide the mutated creatures in the South China Sea and the mutated creatures on the top of the mountains into two categories like before—no one can be sure , those parasitized birds did not stay on the mainland.

If the Zerg in the South China Sea had spread silently across the continent...

The only exception is the top of the mountains bordering the South China Sea, which is impossible no matter how you think about it.

The mutated creatures in the depths of the mountains came into contact with the mutated creatures in the South China Sea. Two Zergs with different evolutionary directions would not just say hello to each other.

Considering that the Zerg parasitism in the South China Sea is no different from the host, this news is terrible from all aspects.

With just a rough thought, He Xingwen can imagine the scene of the unformed alliance in the mainland falling apart, or further, the turmoil within the different forces.

The turmoil is the best result, and the worst thing is that the evil of human nature magnified in this situation is fueled by people with good intentions, bursting into an unmanageable situation.

In contrast to the news that "suspected" creatures from the mainland have been parasitized, the news that NPCs are actually sealed gods and great demons, which has long been guessed, is really hard to arouse emotions.

He Xingwen sighed: "If I were a Zerg, then birds would not be my best choice."

System: "However, under the conditions of the South China Sea, birds have become the best carrier for dispersal."

He Xingwen: "After the parasitized birds arrive on the mainland, I will not give priority to parasitizing intelligent creatures."

System: "Judging from the player's encounter with the mermaid, the parasitism of the Zerg is still limited by many factors. They need enough time and enough contact to complete the complete parasitism of intelligent creatures."

He Xingwen: "In this case, trying to use birds to rashly contact intelligent creatures is likely to outweigh the gains. Their best choice is those inconspicuous but ubiquitous hosts that can spread the range of mutation the fastest."

The system gave the answer: "Snake, ant, insect, mouse."

He Xingwen thought for two seconds: "The situation in the South China Sea has allowed us to expand the horror of the Zerg. If the speed at which they parasitize and control them is really so terrifying, then the South China Sea will not be so calm before we find out."

System: "They're not ready yet."

"That's right," He Xingwen: "So they need to disguise themselves and make themselves indistinguishable from their hosts, so as to gain more time."

System: "Parasite, camouflage, mutation, the only weakness of the Zerg has come out."

"Camouflage." He Xingwen quickly followed the system's train of thought: "The most important thing right now is not to find out who is the parasitic host, but to find a way to see through the Zerg's camouflage once and for all."

In fact, the most important reason is that the situation in the mainland is different from that in the South China Sea.

The South China Sea has been infiltrated silently by the Zerg. The two undersea kingdoms are completely parasitized, and it is not ruled out that there are more undersea civilizations that have already become one of them. In the case of flying dragons, choosing not to contact any existence is the best choice. Effective self-protection.

But the situation on the mainland has not yet reached this point. The vastness and danger of the South China Sea has instead become a guarantee for the security of the mainland.

Intelligent creatures cannot go deep into the South China Sea, because the South China Sea is too dangerous for them, which fundamentally prevents the way for the mutated creatures in the South China Sea to contact the intelligent creatures on the mainland.

The vastness of the South China Sea gave the mainland some time to breathe.

The South China Sea is so vast that the Zerg have no choice but to conscientiously start from the south farthest from the mainland, slowly increasing the speed of parasitism, and gradually devouring the submarine civilization.

They didn't need to be too urgent before, because the mainland never paid attention to the dynamics of the South China Sea, let alone detect such hidden changes-until the emergence of the kingdom.

The people of the kingdom who are keen to conquer the world are very keen to see all the existence around them clearly. Even the dangerous South China Sea has not escaped their sight.

Of course, such a small accident is not enough to make them panic. The intelligent creatures that have penetrated so deep into the South China Sea should be prepared to die, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the mainland when a few people disappear in the South China Sea.

Who would have thought that if the kingdom was opened, it would still be invincible.

The holy guard directly emptied all the Zerg in the sea area that intended to attack the people of the kingdom.

At the time, it seemed that there was no way to hold back, but now it seems that there is indeed room for it-after all, the Holy Guard did not directly exterminate the Zerg, which can be called restraint.

As a result, the unprepared Zerg caught off guard and ushered in the kingdom's announcement to the whole continent—in the name of unknown dangerous creatures.

And now...

He Xingwen asked Zhe to invite the etheric structure, and while waiting, chatted with the system for a few irrelevant gossips.

"You've been a little quiet lately? What happened?"

Although the system showed no abnormalities, He Xingwen did notice this—the system had something on its mind.

The system glanced at the result of the previous deduction. This is the No.70 he looked at it twice today. His deduction got an answer beyond imagination, solved many doubts in the system, and brought a greater question.

The system was silent for two seconds before opening its mouth and saying, "I found the answer to a question."

He Xingwen waited for his next sentence, but the system fell silent at this moment.

He Xingwen continued to wait for a few minutes, then glanced at the time.

There is not much time left for them. It only takes about a quarter of an hour for the etheric structure to travel from the residential area of ​​the main city to the administrative bureau——it is still the slowed down kind.

They didn't have much time for silence, so He Xingwen broke the silence and asked, "The answer to what question?"

Light and Shadow seemed to glance at him, but didn't seem to move.

"The answer to why you failed in the parallel world."

He Xingwen became interested: "I am very interested in this answer."

The system also knows this: "I don't think you are ready to face this answer yet," the system said as it weighed its words, "It will affect you."

"Sounds like a very bad answer," He Xingwen commented: "So you are troubled by this?"

"Yes." The system said honestly: "When I guessed the answer, I understood why I failed, and began to think about how to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

Among all He Xingwen's speculations, there is no reason for him to accept his failure in the parallel world convincingly, because it is impossible to do so.

His hangs have reached the level of the Holy Guard. Even if he is unprepared to face the Zerg that controls the entire South China Sea in the parallel world, he can still draw fire from the bottom of the pot-at worst, the entire South China Sea will be emptied directly.

Can this still fail?Does the system even have to worry about not repeating the same mistakes?

He Xingwen's expression turned serious: "You don't have an optimal solution?"

It was the first time He Xingwen heard the system's tone so heavy: "I have no way to solve this problem."

He Xingwen stabilized the moment he started to panic, and in turn comforted the system: "Since you have nothing to do, let us solve it together."

The system insists on this: "I think it's better if you don't know..."

"It's time like this, do I know the difference is so big?" The system's pointless insistence made He Xingwen a little angry, and he told the system firmly: "I don't accept failure." This ending of the destruction of the world.

The system couldn't be more stubborn than He Xingwen, because he couldn't refuse He Xingwen at all.

A few seconds after He Xingwen's voice fell, the system quickly informed He Xingwen of the result of his deduction: "Considering my lack of understanding of human emotions, the correct rate of this judgment is very low, only 83.4%."

This is the judgment with the lowest correct rate that He Xingwen has learned from the system, but what He Xingwen is more curious about is—why is the reason for this failure related to human emotions?

This made He Xingwen feel an indescribably strange feeling—probably because the two were so incompatible that this answer, which should have been extremely serious and heavy, was suddenly tinged with a bit of strangeness.

Then he heard an even stranger answer.

"I judge that the reason for your failure in the parallel world is..." The system said in an extremely serious tone, "Because you have a crush on me."

"What?" He Xingwen picked out his ears, suspecting that his hearing had been distorted at a certain moment just now, so that he misheard the words of the system: "Say it again, what is the reason?"

"You have a crush on me." The system repeated word by word, and explained: "But as an intelligent life, I can't understand your feelings, and it is difficult to give back the same emotions, which leads you..."

"Wait, stop." He Xingwen stepped on the brake in time and confirmed with the system: "Isn't today April Fool's Day?"

System: "Winter has arrived."

He Xingwen continued to confirm with the system: "Are you kidding me?"

System: "I never joke with you."

That's right, the system really didn't play a joke.

He Xingwen confirmed these two points, and continued to ask: "So I," he pointed to himself, and then pointed to the system: "Crush you?"

The system gave a heavy affirmation.

For a moment, He Xingwen was deeply confused about his own sexual orientation—so I am a machine lover?

No, the system does not seem to belong to the machine?As an advanced form of intelligent life, should he be regarded as a member of intelligent creatures?

So is that gay or straight?

"Although homosexuality and heterosexuality are the definition of carbon-based organisms, psychologically speaking, there is no doubt that I belong to the male among human beings."

The system's sudden answer startled He Xingwen, and he realized that he unconsciously asked that question.

Ah, it's homosexuality, so this is a bit troublesome, the tolerance of homosexuality in society...

etc?What am I thinking?

He Xingwen suddenly pulled his thoughts back from the diverging road that was getting further and further away, and returned to the starting point of the problem.

"I have a crush on you, why don't I know?"

This is a bit too much. As one of the parties involved, He Xingwen feels that he still has a say in this issue.

Although he does feel that the system is a bit weird when it is close, and he always looks at the system subconsciously, and he can even see that the system has no abnormalities at all...

He Xingwen was startled, and immediately stopped himself from thinking about it, and snuffed out this suspicious sign in his infancy.

The system, who doesn't know what He Xingwen is thinking, answered his question in a straight line: "I have learned about the culture of the earth, and found that a large part of secret love stems from the unknowing situation of the parties. It is called the budding of love. When the parties realize After this point, it usually enters into the process of self-denial, seeking affirmation, affirming the mind, and starting to pursue..."

By the way, most of the culture related to this part of the system comes from the "Jinjiang Literature City", from which he obtained a lot of valuable information.

Of course, the system is very clear that this is a novel, a literary carrier.

But this is another drawback of an excellent intelligent life. He knows too much about the earth's culture, including the point that "art comes from life and is higher than life".

So he chooses to understand human emotions more intuitively from the source of life and artistic creation that is higher than life.

Perhaps this is the embodiment of the fact that all things have two sides, and that everything is a unity of opposites.

What he said seemed to make sense. He Xingwen thought of this, and immediately realized it in the next second-the system has always been so reasonable.

He Xingwen was not sure at first, whether he really had a crush on the system, but he didn't realize it.

But any sensible adult male should have a self-judgment about this. After all, only the person involved knows best if he likes this kind of thing.

So after He Xingwen pondered for a while, he still felt that something was wrong.

He changed the question: "So I ruined everything because of a broken relationship?"

He Xingwen never knew that he was actually a lover?Destroy the whole world if you don't get anything... Isn't this style of painting a little old?After all, elementary school students don't say that anymore.

The system's tone was very heavy. If it wasn't for the inability to see the specific appearance of the light and shadow, the other party might have already frowned.

"Of course you won't do this," the system said with great certainty, "My guess is that the fact that you can't get me has affected our cooperation, and that you can't trust me is what ultimately leads to failure." reason."

He Xingwen stared at the blurred light and shadow, and began to think deeply.

As if the system didn't know his complicated mood at all, it continued in a serious manner: "I have been thinking about how to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but I haven't found the optimal solution."

System: "I can't repay you with the same affection, your secret love will only end in failure, and the break between you and me seems inevitable."

He Xingwen took a deep breath, the sense of absurdity that always haunted him made him confirm with the system again: "Are you really kidding me?"

System: "I never joke."

He Xingwen: ...

He rubbed his face and forcibly pulled himself together from the sense of absurdity: "The way to avoid repeating the same mistakes is very simple. Don't worry, I will never fall in love with you secretly again, and I will never let you break with me."

I have a crush on the system?This question kept lingering in He Xingwen's mind, messing everything up.

The system sighed: "But you are already secretly in love with me, obviously your love for me is unavoidable."

"Really?" He Xingwen's brain was a little overwhelmed, and even tended to short-circuit: "Do I actually like you so much?"

The system said straightly: "That's why I can't find the optimal solution."

He Xingwen began to agree with what the system said at the beginning: "You shouldn't have told me." This is all a mess.

Whenever another person said these things, He Xingwen would tell him firmly: You are dreaming.

But it's the system that says this...

He Xingwen hovered between "he seems to be right" and "I think he is making it up", and even began to use a magnifying glass to check his previous abnormalities repeatedly. I don't know if he wanted to find an answer that could negate his conclusion. , I still want to find a convincing answer.

Fortunately, before He Xingwen's brain was completely short-circuited, the long-overdue etheric structure finally arrived.

He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of footsteps, and told the system: "The problem now is the Zerg, and the rest... we'll talk about it later."

The system has no objections. If He Xingwen didn't request it, he wouldn't even say the question that troubled him: "You don't have to worry about it, I will find the optimal solution as soon as possible."

The etheric structure that rushed over met He Xingwen's heavy expression, and the great scientist who remotely controlled the etheric structure sank in his heart.

"The Zerg parasitized the Du Ruo bird in the South China Sea?" He got straight to the point as soon as he entered the door: "How bad is the situation?"

He Xingwen took a step too late to react. The heavy news from the system just now completely dispelled He Xingwen's worries about the problem. No matter how bad it is, there is still the Holy Guard to solve the problem directly.

No matter how you think about it, his "suspected" crush on the system is even more terrifying.

"Don't get excited," He Xingwen gestured to the chair beside him to sit down, "It's not a big problem."

The Ether Construct in a hurry: ?The Zerg have started to parasitize mainland creatures, isn't that a big problem?

He sat down in a daze, only to hear the young king say unhurriedly: "The distance between the South China Sea and the mainland is here. The current control area of ​​the Zerg is from the wormhole to the mainland. Considering their original There is enough time in the plan to complete the steps to control the South China Sea, so they obviously won't set their sights on the mainland at this stage, since we discovered it early enough, the situation on the mainland will not be so bad."

He Xingwen convinced the other party.

He Xingwen: "I think it is more likely that some snakes, ants, insects and rats in the mainland have been parasitized..." He Xingwen looked at the etheric structure: "That's why I came here, I need the Sarfa Federation to find out as soon as possible. The host method of Zerg parasitism."

He Xingwen didn't give him time to interrupt, and continued on his own: "Regarding the fact that the Zerg has parasitized birds, I hope you can keep it secret for the time being to prevent the situation on the mainland from getting out of control."

The etheric structure changed to a personal operation, and a familiar voice came from it: "We need experimental subjects parasitized by the Zerg."

He Xingwen did not hesitate: "I will provide it as soon as possible."

Li Wang's words paused for a second: "This news will not spread from the Federation."

The Federation began to self-isolate early in the morning, even the space was closed, and there was no possibility of being parasitized by the Zerg.

"But it's hard to guarantee that it won't come from other people," Li Wang said calmly: "There should be quite a few people who know this news."

He Xingwen turned around in his mind, players, dragons, demons, druids, mages, Aizhijin... such a number, there are more than a few, it almost accounts for half of the intelligent creatures in the mainland.

"But most of them are citizens of the kingdom," He Xingwen said, "so, there is no need to worry."

Li Wang felt that the king might have made a mistake. He never worried about it from the beginning to the end. In fact, the Federation didn't care about the parasitism of the Zerg.

The reason why the Federation got involved was because Li Wang was very interested in the changes of the Zerg race. This ability to adjust one's own genes and adapt to different worlds was of great research value.

Li Wang said frankly: "The Zerg is not enough to affect the Federation."

Very firm self-confidence, considering how terrifying the Zerg is now, this kind of self-confidence is enough to make people think about how many cards the Federation holds.

"I'm more curious about another thing," Li Wang said: "The Kingdom is the country in the entire continent that doesn't have to worry about the Zerg. As far as I know, the curse of God's Fall is still in effect on the territory of the Kingdom. Creatures that are allowed to enter the kingdom will only face death, so why do you so naturally regard the Zerg as the problem you should solve?"

It may be a bit weird to say, but before Li Wang raised this question, He Xingwen never thought about it. In fact, he can stay out of it.

So, He Xingwen was stunned for two seconds, and revealed: So this is not the problem I want to solve?stupid expression.

The scene was silent for two seconds, and Li Wang got the answer he wanted. He changed the topic and simply asked He Xingwen to end the conversation: "Provide the host of the Zerg parasite to the Federation as soon as possible."

He Xingwen put the question just behind him, he can ignore it, but it's not necessary.

With the scattered and chaotic racial and political systems in the mainland, the end of the kingdom's neglect is countless unnecessary deaths.

Of course, the trouble of the Zerg will definitely not destroy the world. The combination of several major forces with their own cards can always solve the problem-but before that, the mainland rules of the weak will first eliminate the weak until the problem is serious enough to require them to unite until you get up.

Although Li Wang changed the topic, He Xingwen still answered the question: "Probably because I can do it, so I will do it."

He Xingwen did not intend to get Li Wang's feedback on this.

He can do it, so he does it, and the other party can do it, so he asks the other party to do it, which is a completely different concept.

He naturally moved on to the next topic: "Has the Federation thought about opening the space to block this technology?"

The etheric structure paused for two seconds: "The kingdom wants to block the space?"

The existence of the Father God's curse fundamentally ensures that no one will come uninvited. Since there is no act of breaking into the empty door, it is meaningless to block the space of the kingdom.

"No," the Kingdom doesn't have this kind of distress, and He Xingwen didn't propose this idea for the Kingdom: "Considering that the Zerg has already controlled the intelligent creatures of the Nuri Empire, the Coral Kingdom and many other underwater kingdoms, if they directly teleport to the mainland, That problem will get worse."

"Even if the kingdom opens space to block this technology, it may be difficult to require other forces to master this technology in a short period of time." Li Wang calmly said: "But if you only think of the effect of space blockade, the Federation can complete it alone— —as long as those countries on the edge of the continent agree to let the matrix of the Federation be established on their territories."

He Xingwen: "Directly block the space of the entire continent, excluding the South China Sea?"

"Obviously it's faster and more efficient."

He Xingwen thought for two seconds and made a decision: "You can get ready. Since the kingdom's territory occupies half of the mainland, the federation can build a matrix from the edge of the kingdom first."

Li Wang appreciates the other party, especially the way the other party pursues ideals and surpasses everything in the world.

"Then, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

On the gloomy sea, the huge ship that had stopped for a long time slowly set sail and headed towards the West Bay.
