Chapter 132
Gathering place No. 1.
Garen looked at the one-horned man standing before him, his head bowed, not daring to remain silent. He suppressed his anger and said, "I don't care if you tried your best before, but I don't want to be scolded by the adults for this matter."
"Everything is according to the adults' orders, understand?"
"Yes." Several district heads in charge of managing the 49 areas of Gathering Place No. 1 nodded nervously and said in unison.
In front of Garen, they, the district chiefs, were nothing, not to mention that this time they were punished by the adults in the base, so being scolded a few times was nothing.
The leading one-horned man is the district chief of District 5, and he is also the most outrageous one among all the one-horned men present.
He knew that speaking out would attract Galen's attention, but in order to quickly calm Galen's anger, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Don't worry, we will definitely follow the adults' instructions and will never make such a mistake again."
In fact, except for Districts 1, 2, and 3, the other districts in Gathering Place No. 1 more or less did not take the tasks assigned by the higher-ups seriously.
...The Tianjia Zerg had no means of exchanging information, so even if they were treated harshly, they would not report it to the adults in the base. What's more, they had no idea that the adults had instructed them to treat them well.
Therefore, until now, the unicorns present did not know how their lip service and perfunctory attitude were discovered.
The unicorns knew very well that it couldn't be one of their own kind, and certainly couldn't be Garen, the district chief - Garen, like them, didn't care about the life and death of the Zerg.
In the past, as long as they didn't die too many times and delivered the required quantity on time, their superiors didn't care how they treated the Zerg.
Garen snorted coldly, thinking that in order to prevent such problems from happening again, he needed to give these idiots some reminders, lest they die themselves and drag him down with them.
"You should be thankful that you're in Gathering Area No. 1, under the management of Lord Sano. The unicorns who got into trouble at Gathering Area No. 2 weren't as lucky as you. They were simply reprimanded and let off lightly..."
"I heard from Lord Sano that the adults at Base 1 originally wanted to use 'execution', but later gave up. Otherwise..." Garen didn't say anything else, leaving room for their imagination.
When the unicorns heard this, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts. The "execution" was targeted at them, and once it was issued, there would be no room for turning back. It could be said that they would definitely die.
"Lord Sano and the others actually think so highly of the Tianjia Zerg now." A one-horned man muttered to himself.
Galen chuckled.
"I can tell you that Lord Sano said that the attitude of the main civilization towards the Tianjia Zerg has changed. It is different now than before."
"You not only have to watch over them, but you also have to 'take care' of them."
"You all know about the harsh winter that's coming. In the past, many Zerg would die at this time of year, but this year your mission is to minimize the death rate within your area."
"This is also Lord Sano's latest order."
"Not only must you fulfill what Lord Sano instructed earlier, maintaining an adequate supply of supplies to the Zerg and promoting literacy among the Zerg within your jurisdiction, but you must also provide free assistance when necessary—this also applies to medical matters."
If the previous ones are understandable, the latter ones are really confusing.
"We all understand the need to maintain the supply of materials, but free of charge..." The mayor of District 26 said with a complicated expression, "Are you sure?"
Free help? Why would they, as jailers, provide assistance to imprisoned prisoners? And from what Galen meant, it had to be every possible means, meticulous assistance.
Hiss... In this case, wouldn't their status be the same as that of the Zerg?
No, probably even worse than the Zerg.
They went from being jailers who managed the Zerg from a high position to those who provided help and services to the Zerg. Moreover, based on the task previously assigned by Lord Sano, they were almost deprived of all their privileges in front of the Zerg.
"If you can't understand such a simple thing, why not try something you can understand?" Garen was not in a good mood to explain.
In fact, he was also resentful about Lord Sano's orders, but it was useless to be resentful. In the past half month, District 1 had already changed beyond recognition, and it was an indisputable fact that the status and power of the unicorns were declining.
Why do you say that?
Those Zerg... after they learned writing and understood this world, they traced the origins of their own race and changed all the time.
As someone who witnessed their changes with his own eyes, Galen felt some fear or even cowardice in his heart.
Even though it was a long time ago and it was already the last era when the Tianjia Zerg were rampant across the planet, thanks to their status as enduring villains in movies and TV series, people can easily recall a lot of their brutality back then.
No matter what the Ikal civilization did, their attempt, no, to enlighten the Zerg was their biggest mistake.
They personally picked up a horrible and terrifying civilization from the dust, and bit by bit wiped away the confusion that had been imposed on this civilization for thousands of years, brushed away the cruelty imposed by the years, and allowed this civilization to regain its vitality.
In the future, it would be fine if these Tianjia Zerg were trapped on Tianyun Star, but if something went wrong and they ran away... it would be like releasing a ferocious beast with your own hands.
These were all Galen's own thoughts. He didn't believe that Lord Sano and the others hadn't thought of this. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't guess what the upper echelons of the Ikal civilization were planning. Did they think they could control the awakened Tianjia Zerg?
That's impossible.
If it were really that easy, the Tianjia Zerg would not have been circulated in the interstellar market as just a slightly scarce commodity, but would have been organized into an organized army and appeared on the starry battlefield long ago, just like the Tianjia civilization in the past.
What's more important is that so far there has been no real example of the Tianjia Zerg willing to submit to other forces or civilizations.
Almost all the Zergs that were trafficked to the Lost Star Zone, when they gained a certain amount of power and understood the past of their own race, without exception, all swung their knives at their "masters", and would rather die than continue to obey orders.
Therefore, the Zergs that are subsequently sold will be implanted with control chips after being bought, or their brains will be modified to ensure that they will not rebel.
Some civilizations were skeptical and felt it was impossible to gain the loyalty of the Tianjia Zerg, so they conducted experiments for hundreds of years.
The result was a setback for the civilization, because to outsiders, the "loyalty" of the Tianjia Zerg had never existed.
Therefore, all interstellar civilizations have reached a consensus.
That is, the loyalty of the Tianjia Zerg is only for the Tianjia civilization, or only for one person... For example, the Zerg overlord and the master of the Tianjia civilization are hidden in the mist of history, and it is still difficult to see the full picture after the collapse of the Tianjia civilization overnight.
Garen came back to his senses, waved his hand and said to them, "Okay, all of you go out."
"Just do what you have to do when you get back. You may not be so lucky next time."
"You should know that Lord Sano is always watching you." Garen said meaningfully.
This made the unicorns' hearts skip a beat. What did this mean? Could it be that there was surveillance?
But this is impossible. There are only a few surveillance cameras that are replaced every year... Satellites can see it, but it is impossible for just one satellite to be facing the gathering place all the time.
Garen's words puzzled the departing unicorns, but even though they couldn't understand them, they still listened to his words.
——After all, they don’t want to be executed.
**
Holding a hot roasted sweet potato, Rin, lying on the roof, looked at a group of unicorns walking past from a distance and squinted his eyes.
I have never seen these unicorns before. They are dressed quite well and it seems they are from other districts.
The direction they were coming from... that direction seemed to be the only one with Galen's house. Had they just met Galen? Their faces were so grim, so being called there probably wasn't a good thing.
The only way they could be called by Garen to be scolded was because they made Garen angry.
Rin took a bite of roasted cassava and raised an eyebrow.
He should be the district mayor of another district.
I didn’t expect Sano to be so fast. It seems like he was scolded badly.
Yes, Garen was probably scolded by Sano, so it's normal for him to take his anger out on them.
After they passed by, Lin ate the cassava in his hand in a few bites, and reached out to pinch the wings of the silver-white butterfly beside him.
"The next few districts are too far away. Even I can't do anything about it."
You've worked very hard.
Lin sat up, and the long ponytail tied at the back of his head was blown by the wind, with a few strands of hair falling in front of him. After becoming an adult, he had shed the childish features of his youth, making the whole male insect look more steady and dignified.
"The area I can influence with my power alone is too small. It will take a lot of time to truly influence the entire No. 1 gathering place."
"Xiao Ba, your number is so far down, there must be other companions." He let go of his hand and let the butterfly fly and stay in his palm.
【Yes. 】
"Besides you, are there any other silver-winged butterflies on Tianyun Star?"
Xiao Ba didn't answer immediately. After a two-second silence, he said, "Yes."
"Really? Where are they? Have they also found a Zerg like me to claim as their master, just like you?" Lin was excited. If he could have more companions, it would be a good thing with no disadvantages.
I don’t know.
[In areas 1 to 28 that you have visited, Xiao Ba did not sense the presence of a second Silver Wing.]
"So you can sense them when they appear, right?"
【Yes. 】
"Hachi, can you contact 'Ghost' and ask him if he can assign a few to come over?" Lin thought about it for a long time before deciding to ask.
Ever since he learned from Xiao Ba that 'Silver Wings' was a general term for mechanical intelligent insects, he had always wanted to get more 'Silver Wings'.
——The silver wings can play a huge role. Having them is completely different from not having them.
[You can contact me, but there is no guarantee that you will get a response from the 'Ghost'.]
Lin was not disappointed by Xiao Ba's words. Instead, he said calmly, "It's okay. Ask first. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."
Xiao Ba became quiet.
Rin knew it was going to contact the 'ghost'.
——Because of the weak signal transmission, Xiao Ba would stop other programs every time he contacted the 'Ghost'.
After about five minutes, Xiao Ba's wings moved.
Then, Xiao Ba's voice sounded.
[Master Ghost asks you why you need Silver Wings and asks you to submit an explanation. He will review it before deciding whether to approve your request.]
