"Is this where those alien creatures are?"
Looking at the city in front of him, Wang Dong frowned, and the expressions of the other people around him were not much better.
But this is normal, after all, the Zerg... from their troops to their buildings, they all exude a... well, it's a bit too much to say they are villains, but it's not unreasonable to say they are big devils... In addition, the Zerg like to lay out carpets for themselves, almost everywhere they go. This also leads to the first impression of them in the eyes of humans... definitely not angels or saviors.
"Are we going over there?"
Wang Dong frowned as he looked at the thick, still wriggling fungal carpet under his feet, and turned to look at a middle-aged woman wearing glasses behind him. This time, Wang Dong came here as a member of the joint command investigation team, and together with others, he protected the representatives sent by the headquarters to contact these strange creatures. The main purpose was to find out whether these creatures were friends or enemies, why they came to Earth, and why they were fighting the mimic alien monsters...
"These strange giant bugs, I think they are here to take over the Earth!"
Looking at the creeping fungus blanket in front of him, a blond man snorted coldly and spoke in dissatisfaction. Hearing his complaint, the woman with glasses glared at him seriously.
"Shut up, idiot! We are here to make contact with them on behalf of all mankind, not to declare war! Put away your gun! The situation of mankind is bad enough now, I don't want to cause any more trouble."
"Okay, okay."
In response to the words of the girl with glasses, the blond man spread his hands and curled his lips.
"So what do we do now? Keep going?"
"No, it's better not to do that."
This time the girl with glasses thought for a moment and then gave an answer.
"Although I don't know what this is, it looks like it's marking its territory. These creatures may have a strong sense of territory. If we rashly step in, it is likely to provoke their hostility."
"Okay, tsk... Damn it, this is our city!"
Seeing the unhappy look on the blond man's face, Wang Dong and the girl with glasses exchanged a look, both showing a helpless expression. Just like the debates on the Internet, even in the joint command center, there have been many debates on how to deal with these suddenly appearing alien creatures. Especially after watching the video record provided by Wang Dong, many people have already felt fear and anxiety about this mysterious race that suddenly appeared.
Wang Dong knew very well that in the joint command, even the faction that supported communicating with alien creatures was more out of fear of their terrifying combat power rather than the idea of peaceful coexistence between the two sides. But it was no wonder, because the Zerg leader was so... Anyway, any normal human would not think that the Zerg were beautiful.
"What do we do now?"
Another fat man with a big belly asked the question curiously. He was a very famous psychologist and a member of the "negotiation team". He was responsible for evaluating the psychology of both parties. He also hoped to make a rough estimate of the development of alien civilization.
"We can't just stay here and do nothing."
"Don't act rashly for now. We are the first human team to enter their territory. If they want to communicate with us, then..."
"Oh, excuse me, ma'am, let me correct that."
However, before the glasses girl finished her words, the blond man suddenly spoke up and interrupted her again. The glasses girl was obviously very unhappy about being interrupted. She frowned and glared at the blond man in dissatisfaction.
"What happened again?"
"I think... we are not the first human team to enter their territory."
As he spoke, the blond man pointed to the sky not far away with an interesting expression. Seeing his action, everyone in the team was stunned, and then they quickly turned their heads to look in the direction the blond man pointed. Soon, they saw a helicopter roaring through the sky and flew directly into the city. Wang Dong also hurriedly turned on the mecha's long-range scan and locked onto the helicopter.
"That's... the BBC?"
"That damn media! Don't they want to die?!"
Hearing Wang Dong’s answer, the girl with glasses immediately started screaming.
"These bastards, they don't even care about the life and death of mankind for the sake of news!"
If Fang Zheng heard this, he would be very kind to "comfort" the girl with glasses and tell her not to worry, because reporters destroying the world is a common cliché in science fiction films. For example, they will specifically dig up some doomsday news and report it, causing chaos in the world, making humans who could have lived a life of idleness and waiting to die in a state of panic, and completely breaking down social order. Or they may release some animals used for experiments for the sake of freedom and justice, causing viruses to infect the whole world and destroy humanity... So in science fiction films, reporters, like scientists, are high-risk professions that can destroy the world, and strangers are not allowed to enter.
Obviously, as a science fiction film, the reporters in "Edge of Tomorrow" have inherited the brave and fearless spirit of their counterparts. After entering the city, the helicopter from the TV station was not cautious, but deliberately flew at a low altitude. Wang Dong could even see a suicidal photographer carrying a camera and taking pictures of the Zerg!
“These bastards!!”
At this moment, Wang Dong wanted to just use an RPG to send the other party to the sky. They hadn't figured out the aliens' intentions yet, but these idiots rushed forward to die! What if the other party thought they were hostile? ! Aren't these damn bastards afraid of dragging all of humanity down with them? !
“——!!”
At this moment, as if their bad premonition had come true, accompanied by a roar, everyone saw a huge Corruptor slowly rising into the sky and flying towards the helicopter. Behind it, an Overlord followed closely. Seeing the monster flying towards them, the helicopter seemed to become nervous and kept swaying left and right. It turned around and tried to escape, but the Corruptor's movements were obviously much faster than the helicopter. It swayed and flew over the helicopter, then stretched out its tentacles and grabbed the helicopter, but at the same time, the helicopter's propeller also hit the Corruptor's body, tearing off pieces of flesh and blood.
“It’s just a machine… just a machine…!!”
Seeing this scene, everyone in the delegation turned pale, and the girl with glasses clenched her hands, mumbling as if praying, and no one knew who she was explaining to. But Wang Dong could understand her panic. They didn't know why the alien creature wanted to catch the helicopter. Maybe it was an attack, or maybe it was just curiosity, but the helicopter's reaction was obviously not in line with their expectations, and more importantly, the other party was injured! !
Judging from his own experience, Wang Dong did not think that if he saw a strange thing and reached out to grab it, and ended up getting hurt, he would still think that it was a harmless little white rabbit. If this were applied to many races, it would be almost like declaring war!
Is it possible that humans are about to face attacks from these horrible Zerg?
And the cause was just a damn media helicopter that ignored advice and rushed in to take pictures?
Wang Dong felt that if history was recorded like this in the future, he would not be able to face future generations!
