Chapter 1 I Became a Zerg 1
3095: Zerg first awaken emotions
After a cosmic radiation storm, some Zerg individuals began to demonstrate empathy for pain, artistic creativity, and the ability to speak. The Interstellar Court passed the "Emotional Life Protection Law," prohibiting the slaughter of sentient beings.
3195-3495: Rise of Zerg Civilization
The Zerg established a "resonance hive society", using pheromone poetry to convey emotions, and some individuals began to use mechanical exoskeletons to simulate human form.
3595: Zerg Anthropomorphic Revolution
Through genetic modification potions or nanotechnology, the Zerg can be completely transformed into human form (retaining characteristics such as compound eyes and shell luster), and call themselves the "new human race."
4095: The Age of Interstellar Alliance
Humans and the New Humans formed an "Empathy Alliance" to jointly eliminate the unevolved Zerg (called the "Old Swarm"), which were still controlled by the Hive Mind and were regarded as cosmic pests.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't expect that she would become a Zerg this time. She was born with emotions and could choose to drink a genetic potion to become a "new human" at the age of 14. Her evolution is relatively perfect. She retains the compound eyes of the Zerg, but they look like human eyes. Her skin is covered with carapace all over her body. Many Zerg have this, but the carapace covering on the skin can be automatically hidden. Only a few have skin as white as humans. She also has wings, which can be perfectly hidden, so she basically doesn't have any.
In other words, she retracted all her shells and wings, and neither the Zerg nor the human could tell whether Zhang Xiaojia was a Zerg or a human.
She was the most perfect evolution, but she retained the shell during the inspection and did not tell the Zerg inspector that the shell could make her invisible.
She will study at the Zerg Empire School for four years (mandatory)
She also has to go to Star School for four years (mandatory)
She had just drunk a genetic potion and turned into a new human. She was now learning to read and write in a tutoring class in a remote Zerg town, just in order to attend school at the Zerg Empire School in a month.
She is an orphan named Chong Chong. Her parents died in the war and she was raised with food and drink provided by a nursing robot assigned by the town government.
There are also 1,000 credits every month.
Zhang Xiaojia suddenly remembered a children's song on Earth and hummed it:
We are insects,
We are insects,
Flying here and there to attack,
We are pests,
We are pests,
You will suffer if you jump around.
Where we fly to,
Wherever there is disaster,
We come with great force,
Sweeping across vast swathes of the planet,
Eat wherever you fly.
Everywhere people are suffering.
We are full of evil.
Zhang Xiaojia was humming this song out of boredom when he was suddenly hit hard by a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy.
Xie Yue was speechless and said, "Zhang Xiaojia, are you mentally retarded? We Zerg have evolved long ago and have emotions."
Zhang Xiaojia blinked: "Are we bugs? There's a song called "Human Self-Mockery" that's popular on Starnet lately. The lyrics are like this:
We are human beings,
We are human
Busy and busy,
We are human beings,
We are human beings,
Running around to get things done,
Wherever we go,
Wherever there is strife,
We are making a lot of noise,
Disrupting the universe,
Wherever you go, there's trouble.
There was a foul smell everywhere.
We have a long history of bad deeds.
Can’t I change it to a Chong Chong song? My music is different from it, and I haven’t infringed any copyright~”
Xie Yue felt that Zhang Xiaojia's language skills had improved so much in the past two days that she couldn't win over her. She went straight to the playground and said, "Go run, 100 laps."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at her and said, "I am a minor bug, protected by the Bug Empire."
"We are Zerg, not bugs. Get out and stand still." Xie Yue's good temper exploded.
Zhang Xiaojia saw that her tentacles were stretched out, thought for a moment, and decided not to provoke her, so he flew away directly.
How painful it must be for her to have to alter every piece of clothing just to get these wings?
Why not fold your wings?
Whenever Zhang Xiaojia tries to walk, his body instinctively wants to crawl.
Zhang Xiaojia sat cross-legged in mid-air.
There are two main types of Zerg now
Sentient: Singer, Mimic (new), Human-insect hybrid (strong combat power)
There are also differences between the Chanters and the Mimics (New). The Chanters maintain the appearance of the Zerg; while the Mimics (New) are sentient Zerg who drink genetic drugs at the age of 14 to become new humans. If the transformation is unsuccessful, they will use nanotechnology to become new humans.
The chance of becoming a new human by drinking the genetic drug is one in a million.
No emotions: Worker (old), Human-insect hybrid (destroyed super strong), Queen of the Brood
The current tense interstellar situation is that, starting from the new 3095, the Zerg hive queen who is elected every two hundred years has emotions.
But this generation of the Brood Queen is emotionless.
The biggest contradiction in modern times is that humans want to kill the Brood Queen, but no Zerg is willing to kill the Brood Queen, meaning they will wait two hundred years for the Brood Queen to die naturally.
Zhang Xiaojia’s mission this time is: for humans and insects to live in peace and to prevent a major war from breaking out.
Zhang Xiaojia also traveled to the interstellar space. At that time, as a human, she invented a potion to kill the Zerg, eliminated the queen of the hive, and made the Zerg no longer a threat. At that time, the Zerg had no emotions.
Now she didn't dare to take out the insect-killing potion at all, for she was afraid of killing herself. After all, although she looked human in appearance, she was still an insect inside.
There are also many small conflicts. The resources on the planet are not equal. Humans use mechas to deal with the old worker insects, and the insects rely on their own shells to withstand it.
In such a vast interstellar space, there are only a few places where humans and Zerg live together. They are all human planets and Zerg planets.
It is a bit unreasonable for humans to think that the Zerg occupy most of the planet, as they also count the emotionless Zerg among them.
The Zerg believe that the resources on the planet occupied by humans are better.
It's a mess, each person has his own reasons.
Now she can't do anything. She is a minor. Thanks to the Minor Insect Protection Act.
Zhang Xiaojia saw the town's education council member Mu Li coming over, and his eyes lit up as he looked at her. After all, she was the only little bug in the town who had turned into a new human by drinking a genetic drug.
"Zhang Xiaojia, is your teacher punishing you? I'll go punish her."
"No, I don't want to go to class. I can write and recognize words now. I'm going out to play." Zhang Xiaojia flew away.
For millions of years, humans have been unable to fly, but the new humans, Chongchong, have done it.
Mu Li glared at Xie Yue and said unhappily, "Can you change your bad habits? Zhang Xiaojia is the first new human in our town to have completed the transformation purely through genetic drugs? The probability is one in a million!"
Corporal punishment for a one-in-a-million genius? Teacher Xie, do you know how much educational resources the Zerg Alliance provides to each town that successfully transforms into a new human?
She is the ancestor of our town for the past month. With her, our city resources will be invested by the Zerg Alliance. You must treat her well."
Xie Yue sighed. That little ancestor...
Zhang Xiaojia was flying and looking at a small town, a town full of Zerg.
She had just crossed over and saw a group of Zerg surrounding her.
She almost took out the insecticide potion in the space.
How broken is her mentality???
Where is He Fei?
We must find him as soon as possible. He has insecticide on him and we must stop him from killing insects.
She is now a Zerg,
She doesn't want to die yet...
I don't know whether he is a Zerg or a human.
Interracial love?
Xie Yue looked at Zhang Xiaojia, who was hanging in the air above the playground, and yelled, "Zhang Xiaojia, get back to class!"
Zhang Xiaojia had no choice but to go back to class.
The first group of adult Zerg were a group of geniuses, and the characters they chose were actually the characters of the ancient Chinese nation on Earth.
She is familiar with this. What are they learning? Now the Zerg tutoring class is actually teaching these little bugs the Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classic.
When the Zerg do not have human form, they are illiterate, and all the classrooms are filled with illiterate little bugs.
She lay on the table, her body instinctively wanting to sleep, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Yue looked at the bulging veins on his forehead, and said nothing, his tentacles coming out.
The group of little bugs below looked at the teacher, all trembling with fear.
Zhang Xiaojia was woken up by someone. She looked at the person in front of her with her blurry eyes.
"Xiaojia, get out of class is over." Zhang Xiaoxuan said, patting her head.
Zhang Xiaojia quickly put all the things in the desk into her bag. This desk in school is really good. The drawer is actually a small space.
Sugar, fruit, biscuits, canned food...
No wonder Xiaojia came to school with an extra-large woven bag. The school gave her too many snacks, so rich.
They just had a bottle of milk and a hamburger.
Zhang Xiaoxuan saw that Zhang Xiaojia was originally a weak little bug, but after drinking the genetic drug, he turned into a mimic (new) and became stronger.
Zhang Xiaoxuan only transformed halfway after drinking the genetic medicine, and the rest of the transformation was into a new human being through nanotechnology.
Zhang Xiaojia and Zhang Xiaoxuan walked towards home together.
"Jia Jia, are you going to the Imperial Zerg School?"
"Well, aren't you?"
"No, I'm at the Imperial Zerg branch school on the next planet. The tuition is too expensive, and my family can't afford it."
Zhang Xiaojia handed him a bottle of yogurt and drank it happily. "You want tuition? Isn't it all paid for by the Zerg Empire? I'm just an orphan, and I don't have the money to go to school!"
"Xiao Jia, you didn't pay attention in class. You're different. You're a full mimetic. Your tuition is all paid by the Empire. Even your food, drink, and toilet expenses are covered by the Empire every month, ten thousand yuan, until you reach adulthood."
"We are semi-mimics, and the Empire gave us a sum of money to understand. We use nanotechnology to transform into humans, and we have to take medicinal baths every year, which costs a lot of money."
"When you get to the Empire's main planet, change your temper. There are many rich and powerful bugs, many noble bugs, and even more royal bugs. Don't fight."
Zhang Xiaojia asked, "Xiaoxuan, why don't you spread your wings and fly home together..."
Zhang Xiaoxuan became even more annoyed. "Just listen to the lecture. I was transformed into a mimic through genetic drugs and then nanotechnology. I no longer have wings. You are one in a million who can freely control the consciousness of your wings. Alas! God favors fools. My mom is right."
"Does becoming a mimic mean I lose my wings?"
"Most of them are gone! Even if they were, they wouldn't look like yours! Can your wings really change freely?"
Zhang Xiaojia got off the ground and walked slowly. The wings on his body grew bigger, then smaller, and then disappeared.
Zhang Xiaoxuan kept nagging, "When you get to the Empire, it's a planet shared by both humans and insects. Don't take out your wings, or they'll think you're an unevolved new human, a defective product."
Zhang Xiaojia spread her new wings, and the translucent membranous wings reflected a rainbow-like halo under the light of the binary stars.
"Isn't it beautiful? Xiaoxuan, do you know? In fact, humans envy my wings, especially the fact that I can fly freely in the sky. This is something they have not been able to do for millions of years. They can only fly in the sky with the help of technology." Zhang Xiaojia said proudly.
Zhang Xiaoxuan listened to Zhang Xiaojia's evil theories and thought, forget it, no matter how much she said, it would be useless. Xiaojia would teach her when they arrived at the main planet of the empire.
"Xiao Jia, do you want to come to our house for dinner?"
"Xiao Xuan, no, I'm going home."
Zhang Xiaojia flapped his wings and flew back to his home.
They live in one area as a population.
Pheromones are the biggest characteristic of the Zerg.
Basic pheromones: warning pheromones, foraging pheromones, dormancy pheromones, poetry pheromones, empathy pheromones, memory pheromones [feelings are present and still retained.]
For example, queen factor, obedience factor, class factor, estrus factor [no emotion, yes.], these pheromones with emotions are gone.
During this period, Zhang Xiaojia made an agreement with Xie Yue that after finishing her exams every day, she could go wherever she wanted.
She went to the largest library in the town, which contained pheromone memories unique to the Zerg. Important events here would be encoded into pheromones for her to "smell" and learn.
Zhang Xiaoxuan always said that she lacked empathy and that she couldn't feel her own joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Zhang Xiaojia was flying and looking at the small town full of Zerg, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
Although she almost took out the insecticide potion in the space when she just came here, she has now gradually accepted the fact that she has become a member of the insect race.
You can't be in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han!
She and humans are two different races.
Today is her last night in this small town. Tomorrow she will go to the Zerg Empire School. I wonder what it will be like there?
There were royal families and nobles, and she was just a commoner. She was a little curious whether she would be bullied.
Zhang Xiaoxuan handed her a bottle of yogurt.
"Xiao Jia, what are you looking at?"
"Xiao Xuan, take care of yourself. I left something in my room for you. Go get it tomorrow when I leave."
"Xiao Jia, remember, don't be willful. We are civilian Zerg, different from those noble royal Zerg. Don't fight, understand?"
"Xiao Xuan, you make me sound stupid. Okay, go home and sleep."
Zhang Xiaojia left some hemostatic drugs and a woven bag of snacks for Xiaoxuan.
She received a reward from the town leader, a space bag with a 100-cubic-meter cube inside. She put all her furniture, quilts, and other things into the space bag.
Supported by a group of town leaders and photographed by a group of reporters, Zhang Xiaojia demonstrated how to fold and lower his wings in front of a large group of mimic insects, and finally ended up with a large credit coin.
She boarded the Star Mother.
