Chapter 62
Could 058 refuse? Of course not. Moreover, after seeing the strength displayed by Qi Heng, he hesitated for a moment and still chose not to inform on him.
If it's just a matter of delaying time, it's not impossible. 058 gritted his teeth and decided to do it.
058 doesn't want to be a slave all his life. In the eyes of the Ikal civilization, he is no different from the Zerg on Tianyun Star, or even worse.
After dealing with 058, Qi Heng went to find Yan.
"I have something important to discuss with you." He said straight to the point.
Yan was very surprised by his arrival, and when she heard that it was an important matter, she stepped aside to let him in, "Come in and talk."
"You came at the right time. If you were any later, I would have been out."
I knew you were going out at this time, so I came here just in time, Qi Heng thought to himself but didn't say it out loud.
In front of Lei and the others, Qi Heng used a fake identity created from the "gray fog" to reduce the risk of exposure. In front of Yan, he used his real face because they already knew it, and changing it would be inappropriate.
However, even so, he still had a way to connect Qi Heng and the gray fog.
...By the way, we can also add more members to the current shell organization, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
With the experience of looking for Yan before, Qi Heng spoke much more concisely this time and got straight to the point.
"I know you have a good relationship with Lan Yi." Facing Yan's doubtful gaze, he continued, "What I want to tell you is actually more important to Lan Yi. His insect cub was taken away, right?"
"I can bring them back, but I need your help."
Yan was stunned and asked in disbelief: "What do you mean by that?"
Qi Heng's words were so shocking that Yan wondered for a moment if he had heard it wrong. What did "bring it back" mean?
Yan knew very well why Lan Yi's insect cub was taken away.
It was precisely because I knew it clearly that when I heard him say that, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Qi Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his tone as calm as ever.
It doesn't look like it, but...
Yan looked at him carefully and didn't say anything for a long time, thinking about the purpose of his words.
From the first day they met Qi Heng, Yan, or rather, they, knew that Qi Heng was different from them. That difference wasn't something they could show, but something they discovered naturally as they interacted with him.
It was said to be a discovery, but in fact it was just intuition - there was no "familiar" aura about Qi Heng.
He is different from them and any other female insect in Area 49. From small things like behavior to big things like the way he speaks, everything is completely different. For example, Yan feels that everything Qi Heng says is particularly convincing.
Their views on some things always make them feel "Ah, it turns out that this is how it can be thought of."
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Qi Heng himself did not deliberately conceal it, otherwise it would probably be difficult for them to discover it.
...After knowing each other for a long time, it was inevitable to talk about Qi Heng's past, but they didn't talk about this. Qi Heng either smiled and said nothing or changed the subject with other topics. Over time, they didn't mention it again.
Yan's understanding of Qi Heng was the same as that of other female insects. She only knew that Yan Ning brought him back from outside, and nothing else.
Qi Heng let Yan stare at him.
He was waiting for Yan to speak.
"You..." Yan, who was straightforward, had probably never hesitated like this before, but he finally made up his mind to ask.
"Who the hell are you?"
Without waiting for his answer, Yan continued, "I know you have many secrets, but I didn't ask any more questions, thinking that since we are companions, you wouldn't hurt us."
"Well, also because even if I asked you, you might not answer."
"Now that you're suddenly telling me this, do you think you can tell us now?"
After Yan finished speaking, Qi Heng nodded and said, "You can say that, within the scope of my ability, I will tell you the answers to all the questions you want to know."
"Now let me answer the question that concerns you most - who am I?"
Hearing him say this, Yan's expression couldn't help but become serious, and he waited anxiously for his next words.
"I am a member of the Tianjia Zerg just like you. The only difference is that I don't live in 49, well, nor do I live in the northern slums as you think." Qi Heng raised his hand and drew a small circle in the air and a big circle that included the small circle.
"Tianjia Zerg?" Yan was confused by the word he had never heard before.
Qi Heng sighed and said, "It's the name of a race. You and I both belong to the higher-level Zerg of the Tianjia Zerg..."
"It would be a very long story to explain, but we don't have enough time, so I can only give a brief account."
"If you have the chance in the future, you can look up the history of this aspect yourself." He did not say this casually to please Yan. Although the system database had lost a lot of content, the history of Tianjia civilization was preserved very completely in A0's database.
"In the distant past, the Tianjia Zerg established a powerful civilization under the guidance of the Overlord..." He took out the light computer he had taken from the base from his pocket and began to talk while playing a short movie.
After the system consumed energy to transform, this optical computer no longer had any connection with its past appearance. It had a palm-sized gray-black shell, about the same size as a mobile phone, with the letters "HW" etched on the back shell.
After turning on the computer, the words "gray fog" appeared on the screen, composed of hazy gray mist.
"This is the birthplace of our civilization and our home planet." The appearance of Tianjia Planet slowly appeared on the picture projected above the screen, showing the futuristic and sci-fi city and the daily life within the Tianjia civilization.
The scene changes, and the exploration and war of opening up the star sea replace the peaceful and prosperous daily life. The ignited flames of war make countless interstellar civilizations crawl at the feet of the Tianjia civilization.
"At its peak, our civilization directly ruled two-fifths of the Milky Way, and three-fifths of the remaining regions were indirectly governed by us..."
The glory of the Tianjia civilization that roamed the starry sea in the past is enough to make the listeners' blood boil even today. Even Yan, who didn't understand much of what he said, couldn't help but get emotionally involved in his narration.
In particular, the short film directed by Qi Heng, produced by Tianjia civilization in the past and edited by A0, fully demonstrated how powerful and invincible the Tianjia civilization was in the past.
The effect of showing the movie while explaining it is very good. For the Tianjia Zerg who are now no different from illiterate people, no matter how much kindergarten teaching is done, it will not be too much.
——Thanks to the strong support of the Star Alliance, the Tianjia Zerg today are even more ignorant than the natives living in the deep mountains and forests.
Qi Heng briefly recounted the glorious history of the Tianjia civilization, giving Yan some time to digest it while he figured out how to explain the current situation. However, judging by Yan's reaction in the previous round, there was an 80% chance that Yan would ask first...
"Your Excellency, what does he look like?" Yan looked at him with bright eyes.
Qi Heng: ...
Here she comes, Yan comes with a socially fatal question.
He had been mentally prepared for the mention of the Lord before, but he had already tried to minimize the Lord's presence. If he wasn't thick-skinned, he wouldn't be able to praise himself. Qi Heng was quite helpless about this.
However, even so, it still caught Yan's attention.
When Qi Heng faced this problem for the second time, he was in a good mood and readily gave an explanation that would definitely not be doubted.
"I don't know. Even in the long history of Tianjia civilization, few Zerg have ever seen him."
As for if he is accidentally exposed and discovered in the future, that is a matter for the future. In short, the current Qi Heng is not the master.
After all, the fusion is not complete yet.
He continued, "Twelve thousand years ago, the Lord disappeared, and no one knows where he went."
"Then came the war. The exact cause of the war that engulfed most of the galaxy is difficult to verify. The Star Alliance claims that the Tianjia civilization initiated the war, but no one knows the true reason."
"The Overmind vanished, the original Zerg leader vanished... and finally, the Tianjia civilization, becoming the target of public criticism, lost this war in which their entire civilization was at stake."
"After the war, the remaining Tianjia Zerg were imprisoned on various desolate planets because they were still useful."
"You must be familiar with Star Stones." Qi Heng took out an irregular little stone. "This is an incomplete A1-grade Star Stone. Its inherent quality means it can only store limited Star Power. To avoid some restrictions, I've specially split it up before giving it to you."
He had already introduced Yan to a basic cultivation system before, and he believed that Yan could understand what he said.
"The star power stored in the star stone can be used directly for cultivation or to replenish one's own star power after depletion. The blood of the Tianjia Zerg can be used to treat genetic diseases and make medicines. The beautiful insect wings can be used as decorations. Beautiful and powerful female Zergs are very popular among interstellar civilizations."
"There are also star cores. When the power of stars reaches a certain level, they will condense into crystals, which have even more uses..."
Even more disgusting than what he'd said, was the research records he'd seen of Jeyol at Base 2. He'd already gotten over the anger he should have felt, but now that he was speaking of this, he remained unusually calm.
Yan in front of him was not in such a good state of mind. From the initial shock and anger to the current numbness, it is conceivable how much impact his words had on Yan's worldview.
