Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Zerg
Logan had recently dealt with some roaming Zerg on their border lines. Based on their understanding of the Zerg and their combat experience, the Zerg would not be able to gather a large force to attack again for some time.
Why would they open an R-type wormhole at this moment and fly right up to their faces?
The Zerg are a very annoying race for the entire Interstellar Alliance. They have their own star system territories, but they also harass other star systems everywhere. They don't launch major wars, but they just linger at your doorstep from time to time and attack you.
Sometimes they invade their inner star systems, roaming around their planets, attacking any military or guard personnel they see, and even messing with the creatures on their planets. Their thought processes are comparable to those of space creatures, making them equally incomprehensible to them.
Their language is also very difficult to understand. Currently, only some short dialogues of the Zerg language have been recorded, and these are still terms used in warfare. No one can understand their daily conversations.
They considered negotiating with the Zerg, but the Zerg were a strange race and impossible to reason with. They would attack anyone who spoke to them. Their R-shaped wormhole was usually only used to wander around various planets, occasionally provoking other races.
On another occasion, this wormhole was opened, and the leader of the Interstellar Alliance, who was having a video conference, was beaten up, allowing the governors of various star systems who were attending the video conference to watch the entire process of how the leader was beaten up.
It's simply because the leader issued a rule prohibiting the Zerg's currency system from being integrated into Skynet, meaning that if they want to buy something, they can only do so with cash, and cannot shop online.
Although the Zerg are rather capricious and their behavior is strange and difficult to understand, they do trade and engage in normal commerce with other star systems and do not resort to robbery.
So other galaxies just find them annoying, they don't see them as mortal enemies.
Every so often, the Interstellar Alliance publishes a list of races eligible to join the Alliance, which explicitly excludes the Zerg. Because it is not a permanent ban, the Zerg are always included in the list of rejected races.
The Interstellar Alliance will not allow a race that is unfamiliar with them and causes trouble everywhere to join the Interstellar Alliance.
The Zerg don't care about this, but preventing them from shopping online infuriates them.
The original intention behind enacting this regulation was to bring the Zerg to the negotiating table, since their star system possesses a wealth of resources that other star systems have coveted for a long time.
They also hoped to take the first step in communication and gradually reach a reconciliation and alliance with the Zerg, but things didn't go as planned. It was clear that they really didn't understand the Zerg at all.
Now the Zerg are indeed sitting at the table, but instead of sitting down, they beat up the Alliance leader.
This event had a huge impact and enraged the Interstellar Alliance. From then on, the Interstellar Alliance developed a system that could predict the opening of wormholes in advance.
They also completely abandoned communication and reconciliation with the Zerg.
Looking at the signal display, Logan saw that nearly a hundred R-shaped wormholes had been opened; this was no longer a simple game.
The last time the Zerg opened so many R-shaped wormholes in space was for war.
"Commander, the defensive shield's power is down to 20%!"
Lokin's hand slowly tightened: "All fighters, attack freely. Forget about the Electro Beasts, focus on annihilating the rebels!"
When the Electro Beasts attacked the shields earlier, she tried to have the fighter jets attack them to see if she could lure them away, but no matter how she attacked, they were determined to guard their starship, their purpose was very clear.
There are too many of these electrode beasts, and they form a shield when they are together. When they die, their bodies generate more electromagnetic energy, which can disable their weapons. Attacking them is simply not worthwhile.
Just as the last 10% of the defensive shield was consumed by the Electrode Beast, several fighter jets emitting a shimmering glow flew towards their starship. These fighter jets were completely different from their own, with their blue tails drawing brilliant colors in space.
Those are Zerg warplanes.
To everyone's astonishment, the Zerg fighters launched an attack on the rebels, and within moments, they had destroyed all of the rebels' aircraft.
The simple and brutal attack stunned everyone.
The speed and attack method gave Lockin a bad feeling. She said to one of her staff members, "Detect the Zerg's energy."
Like most races in the Interstellar Alliance, the Zerg also use energy from their bodies, just in a different way.
Moreover, their race has a strict hierarchical system, so their abilities and identities can be detected through energy detection.
A minute later, the energy test results came back. The staff member swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "Commander, they're all A-rank or higher, and there's one red one..."
Everyone looked at the test results projected onto the conference table. Among the countless blue and a few orange lights, that one red light stood out.
Blue represents A-level, orange represents S-level Zerg, and as for red, no one can currently provide a rating.
Logan is already one of the strongest fighters in the North Star system. If we use this to measure her, she would be deep orange, which is close to red, and her rating is SS.
Red is currently the only Zerg player, their strongest vanguard. Even the Zerg overlord doesn't have as much energy as him. His name is known to everyone in the Alliance. It was he who beat up the Alliance leader.
His name, translated into the language of the Northern River system, is Caesar.
Upon seeing the red light, Lockin pressed the alarm on the starship and the all-hands broadcast without hesitation: "Activate Emergency Plan B. Protect the spark at all costs."
Plan B was to abandon ship. With Canghai Star right in front of them, they all boarded the fighter jets and used the matrix to protect the central spark as they fled to Canghai Star for safety.
After resolving the danger, we will retrieve the embers and return to the main planet.
After Luo Jingang gave the order, the Zerg fighters rushed into the swarm of Electro Beasts. They captured several Electro Beasts and ran away with them. The large group of Electro Beasts surrounding the starship immediately flew around like a swarm of headless flies and stopped attacking the starship.
Lokin was somewhat surprised to see this, but the Zerg were known for their strange behavior, so she didn't dwell on it.
In the instant the electrode beasts scattered, Anno, who was sleeping, opened his eyes.
She sat up from the sofa and looked directly out the porthole.
strangeness......
She had just been awakened by a surge of energy, as if someone was talking to her, but she couldn't understand what they were saying.
Now that she's awake, the energy is some distance away from her, but she can still sense where it is, as if there's a thread connecting them.
This feeling is strange; it's familiar yet unfamiliar, but I can't help but pay attention to it.
When Lokin saw that Anno had woken up, he quickly walked towards her.
Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out in the control room. Everyone in the control room clutched their heads and collapsed to the ground in pain. Even Luo Jin was pale and half-kneeling on the ground. Only Anno, who was inside the soundproof enclosure, was unaffected.
Seeing a figure walking quickly toward Anno, Luo Jin gritted his teeth, drew the knife from his waist, and threw it at the person.
