Half a month later, the first fully upgraded Small Leviathan appeared near the target ship.
Though it was called "near," they were actually 80 million kilometers apart.
Several overseers had been monitoring the situation for a long time.
After a long analysis, the brain bug believed that the other party's level of development was still higher than the current Zerg.
Of course, this was just a judgment based on surface appearances.
The reality would be hard to know unless actual contact was made.
Just as the Small Leviathan and the overseers were preparing to leave, a special communication was sent over.
"Unknown signal. The other party is using the Dulu language and requesting contact with us."
Brain Bug No. 1 immediately reported to Xia Jin.
"Connect it."
At a time like this, not replying would be a sign of weakness.
Both sides directly used a communication method similar to quantum technology.
It wasn't high-end technology, so the Zerg could understand it.
After all, they had been in contact with technological civilizations for a long time.
Interestingly, a wonderful thing often happens in the universe.
The same laws are often explained by different civilizations using different theoretical systems, yet they all reach the same results.
Each civilization thinks its own method of explanation is correct.
And in reality, that method does indeed work.
But precisely because of this, sometimes a tiny deviation can actually cause the entire system to shift, burying a landmine for future technological development.
This wave of quantum communication was undoubtedly successful.
The image projected in front of her eyes made Xia Jin freeze for a moment.
Because in the image full of technological sense, a person was standing there.
"A human?"
A human appearance in the true sense, and a male!
His features were very delicate; one could say he was quite handsome.
But from the perspective of an interstellar civilization, adjusting one's appearance wasn't difficult.
Not to mention, human civilization was actually a very widely distributed civilization in the universe.
Its original source was already a mystery.
Now, various human species were scattered throughout the universe, some with differences greater than those between a dog and a pig.
Therefore, seeing the other party shouldn't have been strange.
But Xia Jin was still a little surprised.
After all, she hadn't expected to find a human species in such a remote place.
His appearance was also very close to her normal aesthetic.
At least countless times better-looking than the Dulu.
"This is the Kawi Civilization of the Starsea Alliance. Unknown civilization, please state your origin to determine if you pose a threat to this civilization."
"What a blunt way of asking," Xia Jin couldn't help but smile after seeing the message.
However...
"Starsea Alliance?"
Organizations with similar names were not uncommon in the universe.
The Zerg had once wiped out a power calling itself the Star Alliance, which was a giant civilization spanning many galaxy-level systems.
One could tell without even thinking that this Starsea Alliance wouldn't be that ridiculous.
Xia Jin sent back: "Hello, this is the long-distance fleet of the Zerg civilization. We discovered your existence here and request communication."
...
"A civilization willing to communicate."
Inside the Kawi Civilization ship, a group of humans looked at each other.
Unfortunately, the Zerg did not send internal footage, otherwise they would have seen what kind of species lived inside those hideous ships.
"The opposite ship seems to be composed entirely of biological organisms. This is very similar to biological civilizations in certain fictional works. This is a great discovery; such a form of civilization actually exists in the universe." The male human who had communicated earlier was deep in thought.
"The more unique the life form, the more difficult it is to communicate." A captain next to him sighed in relief. "Fortunately, the other side seems capable of dialogue. Though who or what they really were behind it is unclear."
While the Kawi Civilization was discussing, the Zerg quite unreservedly sent a second message.
The content asked: "Shall we initiate contact?"
Seeing the Zerg so proactive, the group on the ship became excited.
Communicating with aliens is a good thing; this is making history.
Although there are risks, they replied straightforwardly: "Very happy to. Our side will send an auxiliary ship to dock with you."
The two sides finally reached an agreement.
The Zerg side directly sent a small escort ship over.
The other side flew a small ship out from their large hull.
Both sides activated their engines to accelerate, and after flying for a few minutes, they reached a close distance.
Simultaneously decelerating, after a while, the hulls of both sides approached within a 10-meter range.
Seeing the hideous appearance of the Zerg ship at such close range, the people of the Kawi Civilization widened their eyes.
"God, what kind of devil is this?"
"Too terrifying. How can this ship look like a man-eating monster?"
"It reminds me of some bad sci-fi movies."
Despite these thoughts, contact still had to proceed.
Soon, the Zerg side extended a nydus worm tentacle, connecting with an exit on the other side.
Then Xia Jin's projection, leading a group of hideous insects, came to the opening.
The opposite hatch opened, and light shone through.
A team of humans in protective suits met the biological beings of the Zerg.
The wall of flesh and terrifying tentacles formed a shocking contrast with the scene full of sci-fi style.
This terrifying sight undoubtedly made the other side feel as if they had walked into a horror movie.
But amidst the group of insects stood a beautiful girl who perfectly matched their preferences, shining as brilliantly as the stars.
