Chapter 179
Lu Ze's words seemed to give the initiative to Aesop, but in fact he was the one who held the initiative - whether to answer Aesop's question or not depended on whether he said it.
Aesop: ...
It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to ask. He had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted answers to, but he didn't think Lu Ze would be so easy to answer in full.
But since Lu Ze said so, he will definitely answer some of the questions...The next questions to ask are very crucial.
If this strange insect is really the legendary brain worm, and Lu Ze in front of him is related to the Tianjia Zerg... then there is actually nothing to ask, and no matter what he asks, it will not change his current situation.
It would be more important to test Lu Ze's intentions first to find out his purpose. Anyway, the situation will not get worse than it is now.
As the commander-in-chief with the highest rank in the fleet at the moment, being parasitized by the brain worm is equivalent to half of the fleet falling into Lu Ze's hands. Judging from the situation just now, he is afraid that there is no possibility of resistance.
The authority and identity you possess will only become something that can be exploited by the other party.
Aesop didn't think that Luze, who had betrayed the main civilization and stood on the opposite side, would have a good impression of the fleet of the Ikar civilization. Even if he did, the superiors behind him might not.
Only the Tianjia tribe can enslave the original Zerg. The reappearance of the original Zerg that disappeared with the demise of the Tianjia civilization actually reflects an important message.
——I'm afraid that another member of the Tianjia tribe has escaped the alliance's supervision and revived, wanting to rebel against the alliance's control over the existing Tianjia tribe again.
Apart from the Tianjia Zerg themselves, who else dares to confront the Alliance?
I have never heard of the organization called 'Gray Mist'. Either it is too well hidden or it was established not long ago, otherwise it would be impossible for it not to have been discovered by the Alliance.
After all, under the management of the Alliance, the entire interstellar environment is very unfriendly to the Tianjia Zerg, and under strict supervision, it is difficult for the Zerg to escape surveillance.
So how did this organization develop the ability to rob a fleet under such strict supervision?
No, what is more terrifying should be the reappearance of these original Zergs. Their appearance is far more shocking than the resistance of the Tianjia Zerg.
Before this, there had been sporadic riots among the Tianjia Zerg, and Aesop had heard of them.
However, there are absolutely no original Zerg among those Tianjia people, otherwise the original Zerg would not be defined as extinct, and the Tianjia Zerg would not still be kept - they would have been eradicated long ago.
It can be said that the reason why branches of the Tianjia Zerg still exist today is entirely because they have long lost the power to resist.
But the original Zerg are different. Their characteristics of only obeying the orders of the Tianjia tribe, their unlimited reproduction speed and their war potential are destined to cause great trouble to the entire Interstellar Alliance if they are not eliminated when they are weak.
Therefore, if they appear together, the nerves of the Interstellar Alliance will definitely be suddenly tense.
...Maybe the situation is not as bad as I thought. These are just my guesses.
Maybe this organization has nothing to do with the Tianjia tribe and just used biotechnology to create creatures similar to the original Zerg. This is not the original Zerg that has been "resurrected from the dead" at all.
——It is more likely that they have found a way to enslave the original Zerg, or discovered that the original Zerg are still alive.
Aesop thought a lot for a moment, and good and bad thoughts kept circling in his mind.
Finally, he said, "I want to know why you're here."
Lu Ze held his chin with one hand and said with a smile: "You asked a good question, and I can tell you the answer to this question."
"My purpose is simple."
"I just want to take them out of the Tianyun Galaxy and into a wider world. But they've never been outside and their identities are special, so we need someone to help cover it up."
"The Ikar Civilization has overseen the Tianyun Galaxy for many years, so they must be very familiar with the Lost Sector Border Trading Area... As for why they chose you, it's naturally because they didn't want to go far away."
Lu Ze had said this, and if Aesop still couldn't understand what he meant, then all those years as a commander would have been in vain.
"Are they the ones you're talking about..." Aesop's voice was hoarse as he thought of a possibility.
So now not only has the enemy infiltrated the fleet, but there are also problems with the cargo this time.
"Ah, yes, it's them, the Tianjia tribe."
"But it's not the cubs you want, it's the adult female."
Aesop's heart suddenly jumped up when he saw the adult female insect.
I'm afraid everyone knows how terrifying the combat power of the Tianjia Zerg is when they grow up. The original cubs were replaced by adult Zergs. Aesop didn't dare to imagine how many were loaded in those transport ships.
Even though the adult female insects that grew up on Tianyun Star have their strength restricted, the combat effectiveness of the large number of unrestricted female insects cannot be underestimated.
"You're planning to use us as cover."
The first thing Aesop thought of was the consequences of being discovered. He took two steps forward and approached Lu Ze.
"Absolutely not. Once discovered—" The entire Ikal civilization was labeled as an 'accomplice', and the Alliance would rather kill the wrong person than let him go in such situations.
The Ikar civilization is just a level four civilization. Once the alliance takes action, they won't even have the power to resist.
"They don't have the power to refuse, and neither do you." Lu Ze said calmly, "When I need you to follow my orders, you will be more obedient than you think."
When it came to the life and death of the entire civilization, Aesop couldn't help but show anger.
If he didn't have the brain worm in his hand, he would have grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up.
"Don't worry, your concerns are also our concerns. We don't want to see that happen even more than you do."
Lu Ze looked calm and composed. He trusted His Majesty's judgment and the main system's calculations. The worst that could happen was that he would just execute the backup 'Z' plan.
If the goal is to "reignite the Tianjia civilization in the Milky Way," then Plan Z is actually more feasible and faster than any other plan. However, it also has a major drawback—according to system calculations, it requires the slaughter of at least 60% of the intelligent races and civilizations in the Milky Way.
It's like a purge of civilization.
Compared with the methods used by the Tianjia civilization back then, it is even more powerful.
"If you don't want to be discovered, then obey my orders. Otherwise, you will be the only ones destroyed." Although he was looking up at the person in front of him, he seemed to be the one with the upper hand.
Lu Ze stood up and said calmly, "Before the fleet arrives at the trading area, I need you to arrange something."
“…”
After explaining everything, Lu Ze said, "In order to reduce the chances of being discovered, I will temporarily live with you during this period of time."
Although the surveillance of the entire spacecraft has no effect on him and the probability of being discovered is very low, he can also find another place to stay, but he thinks there is no need for that.
...No one else could enter Aesop's room without his permission, and he would not be discovered if he lived here. Moreover, he could directly tell Aesop if he had anything to do. It was perfect, killing two birds with one stone.
Aesop gritted his teeth. He felt that this suggestion was not good at all.
He said politely, "I can arrange a place for you to stay where no one will find out."
"No need." Lu Ze refused.
He noticed Aesop's displeasure, but had no intention of changing his mind.
This was a decision made after careful calculation and would not change because of Aesop's words.
