“Indeed, I really want to know what exactly these things are.”
Everyone seemed unable to comprehend this civilization form that had suddenly emerged.
The ships used in space warfare were like terrifying biological entities themselves.
And in ground combat, the Zerg's performance was simply horrifying.
Even the most basic combat unit—the zergling—behaved like a terrifying beast in battle. One could say they perfectly matched the most horrific fantasies of aliens from the planetary era.
...
“What attitude do you all think we should take toward this civilization?” The Black Forest people were the first to raise a formal question.
To be honest, this civilization was truly a bit of a victim of circumstance.
The attack on the Zerg was entirely a mess stirred up by the Fed Civilization, yet the neighboring Black Forest Civilization ended up taking the fall. This could only be described as tragic.
Faced with a matter of racial survival, their representative could not maintain a relaxed expression.
“War has already broken out. Whoever provoked them should handle it themselves. It's impossible to expect other civilizations to carry the blame for you. Representative of the Kawi Civilization, what do you have to say?”
The Kawi people, sitting in ordinary seats due to their lack of strength, became the focus of such a meeting for the first time.
In fact, before this, neither the Zerg nor the Kawi Civilization had been taken seriously by the Starsea Alliance at all.
“Encountered an alien civilization? Oh, just keep an eye on it yourselves; I have a lot on my plate.” That was roughly the attitude.
Now that a more powerful civilization had been dragged in, this Kawi human understood that they were likely going to be the scapegoats.
Even though it wasn't their fault.
“The Kawi Civilization has been trying to communicate with this civilization, and the relationship between the two sides is quite good, which is rare between different civilizations. However, you people of Fed, your sudden hostile act of launching an attack has caused our efforts to go up in flames. Of course, I do not know if the Zerg will change their attitude toward us because of this, but as a member of the Kawi Civilization, we do not mind further communication with the Zerg civilization to alleviate the conflict between both sides,” the human male spoke slowly.
“I have a thought.” Interrupting at this moment was the representative of the Faluer Civilization, the most prosperous within the Starsea Alliance. These wondrous creatures, looking like a string of light bulbs connected together with their entire bodies glowing, always left ordinary beings in awe.
“This species is different from any we have encountered in the past, and the Kawi Civilization's communication with them has undoubtedly been very successful. Coupled with the fact that both sides are relatively close in distance, we can entirely convey our thoughts through the Kawi people. At this stage, we do not understand them, so directly engaging in space warfare is quite unnecessary. What is needed is to assess the threat level of the target civilization through reasonable means. If they are the type that is highly aggressive and lacks the will to cooperate, then we can utilize the Starsea Joint Combat Order to assemble all our forces and launch a devastating strike against them.”
“I believe this approach is very suitable,” a representative of another civilization expressed support.
After the vote, the Kawi Civilization had no choice but to accept the decision.
After all, they were weak.
And it was also this time that the humans of this civilization truly saw the terror of the Zerg.
“It seems that not choosing hostility from the beginning was the right move.” After transmitting the news to the home planet, the supreme leader of Kawi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Communication with the Zerg was possible, and one of Xia Jin's projections was right there on their turf.
Communication wouldn't be difficult at all.
Furthermore, the Zerg had not expressed any clear malice toward the Kawi Civilization, which meant the relationship between the two sides had not deteriorated as severely as imagined.
In the end, it wasn't them humans who had provoked the Zerg.
However, from this day forward, some researchers and scholars of the Kawi Civilization began to have some incredible debates regarding the existence of the Zerg.
This debate was only discovered after Xia Jin's projection used a certain bug to sneak into the scene.
...
In the massive hall, over a thousand of the most elite representatives sat in a circle.
At the lowest point in the center was a long table. Those seated at this table could absolutely be considered the top talents in various fields or those who had made the most outstanding contributions; they were the driving force behind the progress of the Kawi Civilization.
“Miss Ka, I beg to differ with your thoughts. I believe... the Zerg and we humans are actually very similar. That beautiful Zerg lady, they almost perfectly match our aesthetics. And the way this race behaves is also very similar to us humans. If we compare them closely, they possess advantages we cannot match: powerful individual strength, terrifying execution, and...”
A combat video sent from the front line played on the large screen.
The footage zoomed in on the elf bugs.
“What other evidence do you have to prove that these are not New Humans? The Zerg are undoubtedly the direction of human evolution. They are too similar to us.”
These words immediately silenced many people.
It wasn't that they couldn't find reasons to refute, but... they were indeed too similar.
The appearances of the elf bugs varied, but each one seemed to strike a chord with the very instincts of everyone present.
Both powerful and beautiful.
And recent interactions had also allowed humans to see something they dreamed of.
Unity and execution.
The execution of orders required almost no meetings or communication, yet the Zerg didn't seem to be centralized. At a glance, they were full of merits.
You could say the bugs were hideous, but these guys could turn into people.
“Though you say that, the idea of using genetic modification for Zergification is still a bit beyond my scope of understanding.” An old man with a white beard shook his head repeatedly. “The thoughts of today's youth are too radical—so radical that I'm afraid.”
“If we can figure out the origins of the Zerg, then all problems will be solved. However, to say they are the humans of the future is a bit too disparaging to ourselves.”
...
Amidst the discussion, the bug silently crawled past the scene.
Xia Jin, leaning against a wall, received the news, and her expression subsequently became quite peculiar.
