Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 249 Gore "died" young (page 12)

Zero did not interfere in Todd's specific actions with the Velvets. With the current technological system of the Zerg being equal to or even surpassing that of the Velvets, even in a frontal war, no matter how hard the opponent tried their best, they would never be able to shake the swarm.

Their population of over 100 billion can only be regarded as a fraction in front of today's insect swarm. Even if all the people are soldiers, it will not be enough to fight Todd's strength, and there is no comparison at all. In terms of pure war potential, an intelligent race like the Velvets cannot be compared with the Zerg.

Under this premise, how to use war to achieve one's own goals has become a science for Todd.

This time, the Zerg's goal is very clear, which is to seize the ninth colonial galaxy of the Federation. While obtaining energy, they can use it as a springboard to disguise themselves as ordinary biological civilization and continue to launch attacks on the important territories of the Velvet people.

Todd's plan is simple. Regardless of the intensity of the war, this war must reduce the population of the Velvet people to less than 100 billion, otherwise they will not be given any breathing space. Only by making the entire race feel the crisis of genocide can they shine with hope in desperate situations.

Nothing makes them feel this more than a sharp decline in population.

As for the 24 billion intelligent race individuals that will die in this process, Todd doesn't care. Except for some self-limitation, it will not hold anything back.

The huge insect swarm slowly completed its acceleration. In the star field near the Velvet people, even with the support of "internal agents", the insect swarm was extremely lacking in energy crystals. But this is not a problem. The ninth colonial galaxy of the Velvet Federation has opened its arms to them. At the current speed of the insect swarm, they will arrive here in twenty-six years.

These more than twenty years were the last peaceful time for the Federation.

.......................................

In the year 1486 of the Zerg, Ruhr completed the first confirmed journey between river systems, which represented another big step taken by the Zerg towards the stars of the universe.

At this point, the previous ideas about energy life have fully met the conditions. It will lead the swarm of insects into the wormhole and move towards the nearby exit.

At that time, the insect swarms that reappear in the real universe through the unexplored mineral vein channels will use the precious time to confirm their position as much as possible. For this reason, Ruhr even customized energy protection with appropriate strength for them. shield.

The energy life in the Lyman Galaxy has always been a threat to the Zerg, and their strong connection with the energy veins also makes Zero concerned.

How it quickly locates the emergence of mineral veins, why it insists on finding and occupying these galaxies, what motivation it uses to achieve what purpose, etc., these are all what Zero is concerned about.

He had a vague feeling that the insect swarm might make a surprising discovery in it.

The first thing to do is to study it in the true sense!

There was once a good opportunity, that is, when the Zerg were attacked by "Zhuna" for the first time in the Lyman galaxy, but in order to regain the energy veins, the commander at the time, the brainworm Visser, accidentally detonated a huge fluctuation in space. Even a brief rupture killed it directly.

As for whether the energy life was dead at that time, although it could not be fully confirmed at first due to insufficient preparation, in the subsequent defensive battles, Zero was convinced that it was indeed dead, and its fully energy body was as if it was broken. Like a balloon, it dissipates all of itself in the form of light and heat into the cold dark universe, returning these things from the universe to the universe.

If the insect swarm does not need a wormhole passage connecting the main body, perhaps it can be used directly as bait, but it may take a long time.

…………

In 1489, Gore, who had been paying attention to this, instantly became nervous. For no other reason than that, under the feedback of the Hive Mind, it detected information about some of the Zerg that had entered the wormhole before!

Through the vision they provided, sure enough, it was as dark as ever! But Gore knew very well that the danger would come soon, and the time left for the swarm was very short.

It must take advantage of this rare opportunity to successfully locate here in the starry sky, otherwise Ruhr, who is still returning in the passage, will have done nothing.

Gore has already studied the unusually conspicuous stars in the Lyman galaxy, hoping that one day they could be used in such situations.

Prior to this, based on the aerospace technology of the Velvet people, it even compiled its own precise observation and positioning system. The death of these bugs itself is not important, but what they carry is likely to last for several years. It’s an opportunity that only comes once every ten years!

Fortunately, it had been well prepared in these years. Before the central star in the galaxy "took off its coat", a familiar high-brightness star shining in the starry sky entered Gore's field of vision.

That is one of the preset definite coordinates!

With the first one, there was soon a second one!

This is enough!

The next moment, the energy shield flashed, and it lost sight of the insect swarm over there within a few seconds, but at this time Gore no longer cared.

Among the billions of stars, it has found its way there! That's a yellow dwarf star!

The nearest Zerg unit is 71 light-years away, and from its perspective, the target galaxy still has the light of stars.

This is an important piece of information, which means that at least 71 years ago, this place was not occupied by energy life.

Prior to this, Gore had also thought of recording the changes in the stars in the sky to help him find the traces of "Zhu Na", but in the end he failed to do so.

The reason is simple. The distance between them is too far. Even if it can be determined through optical observation that there are likely to be traces of energy life there, by the time the light reaches the Zerg, hundreds or thousands of years have passed. , or even tens of thousands of years, not to mention that the swarm has to spend time going there after learning the information. Whether it can achieve anything by then is still uncertain. It is far less convenient than directly inviting Ruhr, and it will definitely be able to get it. Definitive conclusion.

But then again, there are still some merits in recording the brightness and death of stars. At least it can be roughly judged the energy life branch inside the Lyman galaxy or near the insect swarm, but there is no reference value for things further away.

Now that the traces of "Zhu Na" have been identified, the rest falls into place. A group of Zerg space units immediately consumed energy crystals and entered a state of super-light navigation. They will reach the edge of the galaxy across a distance of 71 light-years within two years.

This is the limit of the hyperdrive that the Zerg can use today, and it is also the fastest travel speed of the Zerg except for wormholes.

In order to ensure that they have enough material, the insect swarms sailing in that direction will occupy nearby star systems, expand there, and provide a steady stream of material and energy for this actual observation operation.

Looking at the entire river system, it is clear that the Zerg can be so wealthy and conduct an experiment in such a luxurious way.

But Zero knows that with the various characteristics displayed by "Zhu Na", as long as everything about it can be fully understood, the Zerg will definitely gain huge benefits from it.
