Volume 3 Chapter 214: Biotechnological Civilization and Mechanical Technological Civilization
"What a pity, such a quaint street." Nanzhu lay on the porthole, feeling sorry for the ancient city on the capital planet below.
Not far away are cities with Nordic style , cities with Central Asian style, and so on.
It’s a pity that most of them have been destroyed in the war.
It can be said that this capital planet brings together architectural styles from all historical periods of mankind.
Even though they knew that the so-called "humans" who built this capital planet were actually fake humans, these familiar architectural styles still made several people, including Lin Xu, feel full of intimacy.
So before leaving, even Lin Xu couldn't help but come to the sky above the Capital Star to take a look.
"Let's go." After a moment, Lin Xu said.
Then the Skylark cut through the sky, and a space jump channel opened up in front of it. The Skylark sailed into it and disappeared into space.
The Speaker and the Commander who were released are still in a daze.
They watched as the fighting machines that were originally clearing out the Zerg retreated, and then watched as the warships in space disappeared.
For a moment, I couldn't even believe that happiness came so suddenly.
This force that came from nowhere just helped to eliminate the Zerg that invaded the capital planet, and then left without a word?
They did not occupy the capital planet, nor did they take the opportunity to imprison them and use it to command "humanity".
"Commander, there are still a small number of remnant Zerg on each planet that need to be eliminated." A subordinate immediately resumed his original self-positioning and reported.
"That's right, immediately contact the garrison troops on each planet and make every effort to wipe out the remaining Zerg. At the same time, notify the nearest fleet to return for support. The capital star field is empty, and how can we survive without a fleet?" The commander also regained his original majesty and began to give orders.
The core of the entire "human race" began to function again.
Lin Xu didn't know all this. After several space jumps, the Skylark was getting closer and closer to the Zerg's territory and finally entered the Zerg's territory.
But in the vast space, this is not obvious.
In the gap between space jumps, looking out from the porthole, outside the window is the boundless space, the stars dotted in it, and the eternal and unchanging galaxies.
Just looking at these, you can't tell which territory belongs to which ethnic group.
It was not until the end of a certain jump that the Skylark rushed out of the space jump channel and hit a Zerg nest.
Lin Xucai finally felt that this was already the Zerg's territory.
However, the appearance of the Skylark did not alarm the insect nest.
After all, compared to the entire galaxy, where planets have been transformed into Zerg breeding bases, and the space within the galaxy is also densely packed with various Zerg warships' nests.
The Skylark, a small warship of over a hundred meters in length, was too small to alarm the entire insect nest.
At most, it alarmed a few Zerg patrol ships patrolling the periphery.
So several alarmed Zerg patrol ships headed towards the location of the Skylark.
In space, a giant insect over a thousand meters long was turning in the space, staring at the direction of the Skylark with its compound eyes flashing red. The biological modulation curvature engine installed in the insect's body began to accelerate, and in the blink of an eye, these Zerg patrol ships surrounded the Skylark at a speed dozens of times the speed of light.
And be prepared to accelerate at any time if the Skylark escapes.
This was not the first time that the Zerg had encountered spaceships of other species that had mistakenly entered the Zerg hive, so they already had a set of procedures to deal with them.
However, the Skylark obviously had no intention of escaping, and even stopped where it was, as if it was frightened, waiting for them to come over.
"Although it's not the first time I've seen them, these Zerg warships still look very interesting. Are these warships made with biotechnology to control certain Zerg to grow like this?" Nanzhu said, lying on the porthole, looking at the Zerg patrol ship approaching.
"Yes, those planets should be the biological factories that produce and manufacture Zerg warships. Should we go and take a look? There may be some clues in these biological factories that manufacture Zerg warships." Arisa put her hands in the pockets of her sweatshirt and pointed with her chin at the planets in the distant galaxies that had long been transformed by the Zerg.
"Indeed, whether there are clues or not, it is a good way to understand the Zerg." Lu Yao nodded, but still looked at Lin Xu. After all, only Lin Xu could make the decision here.
"Let's go and take a look. I'm also curious about these Zerg." Lin Xu nodded and made a decision.
Originally, Lin Xu didn't have much curiosity about the Zerg race.
However, what Lin Xu did not expect was that those fake humans were actually created by these Zerg. These Zerg even fabricated human history onto these fake humans and gave them a warship that was extremely similar to the fairy ship.
All of these things show that these Zerg’s understanding of humans far exceeds Lin Xu’s initial imagination.
And these Zergs were not what Lin Xu initially thought, just a group of brainless bugs.
So what is the purpose of these Zerg doing this?
Lin Xu was extremely curious about this.
So the Skylark stopped where it was, waiting for the Zerg patrol ship to slowly approach.
Then, a red tractor beam shot out from one of the patrol ships and shone on the Skylark.
Under Lin Xu's command, the Skylark did not resist. The patrol ship just slid in the space with its degraded and almost non-existent short limbs, turned its bow, and flew towards the mother nest.
The Skylark followed the patrol ship under the traction beam and headed towards the mother galaxy.
Not long after, the Skylark entered the mother nest system. The appearance of the Skylark did not alarm the densely packed Zerg warships here.
He was sent directly to a planet by the patrol ship.
Looking at the planet from a distance, it was obvious that it had been transformed by the Zerg.
While still in mid-air, you can see huge insect pools below that are similar to docks. Huge insects, some ten thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters long, are growing in those pools filled with nutrient solution.
There are small insects like worker ants, carrying various nutrients and throwing them into the insect pool, which are then digested and absorbed by the giant insects in the pool.
Then the huge Zerg continued to grow until it finally grew into a huge space battleship.
Some of the giant insects in the insect pools are obviously still growing.
Some of the insect pools have already completed their growth, and various subsequent outfitting equipment are being installed inside the bodies of the giant insects under the busy work of the worker ants.
For example, various biologically modulated weapons and equipment, biologically modulated curvature engines, and so on.
Then, one after another, the huge Zerg warships will activate their anti-gravity devices and take off into space.
At this time, some Zerg warships in the insect pool had completed their growth and were leaving the insect pool and slowly rising into the air.
Tens of thousands of Zerg warships, each ten thousand meters long, took off one after another. The mighty Zerg warships covered the entire sky in low-Earth orbit. Even Lin Xu, who had seen countless big scenes, felt that this moment was a bit spectacular.
"The Zerg have developed biotechnology to an extreme." Arisa also sighed with rare emotion.
Because the Apocalypse tribe had once created a similar biotech creation, the star fish.
Compared with the huge star fish of the Apocalypse Clan that are as big as orbiting planets, these Zerg warships can only be said to be dwarfed by them, but it still makes Arisa sigh with emotion.
"With such advanced biotechnology, it's no wonder that the Zerg can create fake humans." Lu Yao affirmed the .
Until the Skylark continued to descend under the tow of the patrol ship and finally arrived at a port on the surface of the planet.
Only then did they realize that compared to the countless huge Zerg pools on the planet that manufactured Zerg warships, this insignificant little port actually housed a large number of spaceships similar to the Skylark, or even larger than the Skylark.
Judging from the metallic appearance of these spaceships, we can tell that they also belong to a mechanical technological civilization, rather than a biological technological civilization like the Zerg.
There is even a small town near these obviously controlled spaceships. Looking down from the sky, the town is actually quite prosperous, with people of countless races living in it.
"I didn't expect that there are so many people here who were caught like us?" Nanzhu looked at the town below with great interest, not realizing that he was caught at all.
At the same time, in the town below, many people were also looking up at the sky, at the newly arrived Skylark.
"A new guy has arrived? Who is this unlucky guy who ran into the Zerg territory due to navigation failure?"
"Ha, you talk as if you're not the unlucky one yourself." The drinking companion complained unceremoniously.
"If I hadn't brought a shipload of wine here, would you have any wine to drink here? If you don't want to drink it, give it back to me."
"No, no, no, if there's no wine in a place like this, you might as well kill me, rather than living in fear all day, worrying about being captured by the Zerg for experiments."
"Hey, what do you think the Zerg want to do by keeping us here?"
"I heard that several people go missing every day, captured by the Zerg for experiments?"
"Why bother with all that? Now that we're stranded here, we'll just live day by day."
The people in the small town looked at the Skylark in the sky, some were gloating, while others were mourning the loss of the ship.
Some of them were so excited that they had already run to the port to wait, just to see if the owner of the new ship had brought any new goods that were not available here.
It would be nice if there were some cargo that could help relieve the coke ovens.
Just like a cargo ship that was brought here not long ago, it was full of alcohol and caused a sensation in the small town.
After all, it is a regular alcoholic beverage, much better than the ones they had tried to synthesize before.
It’s just that just like intelligent life forms will try to form cliques wherever they are.
It's much the same here.
There are cargo ships trapped here, and more and more people have drifted here, and now there are tens of thousands of people.
These people have long formed small groups.
So when some members who were not in the small group came to the port, they found that the port had already been divided and occupied by clearly defined groups. They were just waiting for the spaceship to dock and then they would try to win over the new ship owner and get him to join them.
Of course, if the ship owner does not have enough force to protect his things, these small groups don't mind helping him keep them.
So everyone could only curse and then watch from the sidelines.
Soon, the Skylark landed under the traction of the tractor beam, and then the Zerg patrol ship left.
The door of the Skylark slowly opened. Lin Xu looked at the groups of people in different clothes standing not far away with a strange expression on his face.
At the same time, somewhere in an unknown place on this planet, several small Zergs curled up into a ball, looking only the size of normal humans, but their bodies were connected to the outside world with countless various cables and external bio-neural signal machines.
Through these devices, the Zerg control countless devices in a huge laboratory, and the biological intelligent host of a biological brain is also running rapidly.
"The 72nd supplement and revision of the Observation Report on the Social Form of Mechanical Science and Technology Civilization has been completed."
“Introduce new variables and pay attention to the latest changes in social forms.”
"The variable is too weak. I don't think the social form will change fundamentally. I suggest introducing a variable with strong military power to transition the social form to a kingdom form for further observation."
At the port, Lin Xu and his companions slowly got off the Skylark. Nanzhu looked at the crowds of people gathered in groups not far away, with clear boundaries, and his face was full of confusion.
"Lord Lin Xu, those are Zerg, right? They are really Zerg, right?" Nanzhu asked Lin Xu again and again without being sure.
"Although they are covered in the skin of mammals, they are indeed Zerg inside. So is this town a testing ground?" Lin Xu looked at those hidden in the crowd, who looked almost the same as humanoid intelligent life forms, but were actually Zerg in their bones, and thought deeply.
"No wonder so many spaceships and the people on them are gathered here. Is it to allow these insects that know how to camouflage to master the way of communication through contact with humanoid intelligent life? Do these Zerg want to infiltrate the societies of other races and disintegrate the other races from within?" Lu Yao also guessed.
Based on the discovery of the Zerg hidden in the crowd, plus a series of things that were initially puzzling, putting them together naturally led to this answer.
Otherwise, the existence of this town cannot be explained.
"Lord Lin Xu, what should we do?" Mu Xiyue asked.
Ultimately, Lin Xu’s decision will prevail.
"Then let's try to alert the Zerg and find out what the purpose of this experiment is." Lin Xu decided.
So, not long after getting off the Skylark, they met those small teams. Before the leaders of these small groups could speak, Lin Xu gave a signal, and Arisa, who had been eager to try, took action first.
As the leader of a certain group, Camus monopolized the alcohol supply in the entire town. It was precisely because of this that their group had recently stood out and become the most prominent presence in the town.
So Camus can be said to be in high spirits recently. Even though he knows that this town is the territory of the Zerg, he even doesn't want to leave this town.
Because if he leaves here, he will most likely become the ordinary Camus he used to be, instead of the current Boss Camus.
Boss Camus, what a nice name, he likes this name.
Just as he was about to speak, he wanted to say hello to the newcomer and test the other party's strength. If the other party was strong, he would cooperate with him. If not, he would directly divide his goods with other groups.
Unexpectedly, a girl with two ponytails, jumping around and looking very lively, jumped up and kicked her assistant Madi in the face with her small leather shoes, kicking Madi, who had assisted her all the way to become the underground king of the town, out.
At the same time, the girl also flew out. When she stopped, the small leather shoes on her feet were still tightly pressed against Madi's face, pressing hard on Madi's face.
Camus admitted that his surname quirks were sometimes strange, and he really liked being stepped on by cute girls, but in this situation, if his deputy was stepped on, it would be a huge blow to his prestige.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that Camus was stunned for a moment and forgot how to react.
The next moment, the girl who was stepping on her deputy spoke first.
"The leather cover on your face is quite sturdy!" Arisa continued to press the other's cheek with her small leather shoes with great interest.
And Camus's men beside her, including Camus himself, finally reacted.
"Outrageous, what are you doing?"
"Stinky woman, let Boss Madi go."
Immediately, some of the brothers, either loyal or just wanting to show off, rushed towards Arisa waving sticks.
For people like this, Arisa would be disrespecting her identity as an Apocalypse Clan if she looked at them at all.
Then the next moment, clanging sounds rang out continuously.
As the gang of stick-wielding minions stared in amazement, a transparent shield appeared around Arisa, blocking all attacks.
“What is this?”
"Yes, it's a military-grade shield, but how could it appear on a person?"
But whether it was possible or not, it all happened.
"You guys are so stupid. Did you see this guy's face clearly?" Arisa was too lazy to pay attention to them.
He just continued to stomp and crush the man's face until it was completely cracked, revealing the hideous mouthparts and tentacles inside.
"This is, is it the Zerg?"
"What's going on? What happened? Why did Boss Madi become like this?"
Some people were still confused, but the smart ones immediately understood something. Their faces turned pale in an instant and they quickly took a few steps away from the people around them.
Because no one can be sure whether the normal-looking guy next to him is also a Zerg in disguise.
Camus is a smart man, otherwise, even if he has someone to assist him, a fool cannot become the boss.
Then in an instant, his face turned pale. He thought of many things, including his sudden rise and the fact that he and his people were trapped in the small town.
It turns out that everything was a conspiracy.
Although he had already thought that they were trapped here, the Zerg must have some plan.
But he never imagined that it was actually to train these camouflaged Zerg on how to lurk around him.
Now it seems that their training results are significant, but I really didn't notice it.
No, I’m afraid it’s not that no one has discovered it.
Thinking about it this way, those people who occasionally disappeared and were rumored to have been captured by the Zerg for experiments, could it be that they disappeared because they discovered these disguised Zerg?
It’s really terrifying when you think about it.
It was not only Camus and his gang who saw the change in Madi's expression. Countless people gathered in the entire port at this time.
People from various small groups initially laughed at Camus and others for being embarrassed.
But now seeing Madi's changes, everyone's expressions changed instantly, and they looked at the people around them vigilantly, because no one knew who was the Zerg.
At the same time, the small Zerg huddled together in the huge laboratory began to shake violently on their body surfaces.
As they shook, the biological intelligent brain in the center of the laboratory began to operate faster and faster.
"Warning, variable has an exception. Warning, variable has an exception."
"Our infiltrators have been discovered. The simulated social form is about to collapse. Our personnel have been discovered. It is recommended to clear the variables."
"Eliminate all witnesses and disguise it as a main gun discharge from a nearby warship."
"Dispatch the warships taking off from nearby areas and prepare to open fire."
At the dock, the state of everyone being in danger did not last long, and the balance was broken by Arisa.
She first stomped the struggling insects on the ground to death, and then rushed towards the crowd around her.
People subconsciously tried to dodge, but they were nowhere near as fast as Arisa.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I only kill bugs. So those of you who think you are not bugs, stand still. Be careful not to become a shield for bugs." Arisa's voice appeared in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, the person who was about to run stopped abruptly.
They didn't know whether it was right for them to believe what they heard, but they had no choice at this point.
Just like that, they watched as Arisa kicked some people in the crowd out one by one.
Some people had an expression of disbelief on their faces. Apparently, some people felt that those who were kicked out could not be Zerg.
Then they saw that these people who were kicked out kept hitting the ground with bangs, and their bodies became tattered, revealing the true form of the Zerg inside.
Those who had previously regarded some of the Zerg as their friends were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
But at the same time, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Everything should be fine this time, right?
Unfortunately, a huge Zerg battleship in the sky slowly blocked the sunlight, shattering people's fantasy.
Watching the battleship's guns begin to charge, it was obvious that its target was aimed here.
The people at the port suddenly started to turn pale.
Camus even gave a miserable smile.
This time I'm dead.
