Chapter 532: The Second Round: Victory

~10 min read 1,828 words

In the pitch-black universe, there was a sudden distortion, and a small blue spaceship came out of a wormhole.

The faint blue light constantly declared its existence to the universe, not showing off, not uncomfortable.

"Are you being a bit too ostentatious?" Ye Nan examined the surrounding environment.

The space of the spaceship was very small, like a toilet. Except for a chandelier at the top, there were no other extra decorations.

In the universe, spaceships of various colors flew everywhere, but there was not a single spaceship like the Prometheus race's spaceship, constantly transmitting light to the outside world, transmitting the information of its arrival.

"It's better to be a bit ostentatious." The Engineer smiled.

The Prometheus race had always had a hobby of collecting various creatures in the universe. The reason their spaceship transmitted light was also out of this consideration: to attract powerful creatures that could survive in the universe to attack, and then catch them for slicing research.

As for whether they could catch them or not, they didn't consider it because they had enough confidence in their civilization.

"Planet K is here." The Engineer's gaze swept over the holographic projection transmitted by the spaceship, and his mouth twitched.

Because in the process of scanning, he discovered a large number of Zerg. Regarding this, he was quite speechless.

Although before coming, he had been exhorted by someone, telling him that his task this time was to give as much convenience as possible, improve the technology of those low-level civilizations, and let them share the pressure for high-level civilizations.

But Ye Nan's blatant act of faking still made the Engineer quite speechless.

"Should I veto him?" The Engineer's thoughts turned. Ye Nan's arrogance before made him very unhappy, but the exhortations from other high-level civilizations made him have to choose between orders and emotions.

"This is Planet K." Ye Nan answered without hesitation. Regarding the Zerg influence scanned out, there was no embarrassment on his face, as if these Zerg didn't exist at all.

"But what's going on with the bugs on it?" The Engineer, who had made up his mind to support the Human Federation, couldn't destroy the entire strategy because of his momentary preference, but he was determined not to let Ye Nan feel good.

"Even if I support you, I must first suppress you. The policy of the carrot and the stick will let you try it out properly."

The Engineer, who was thinking about this idea, immediately raged, "Don't tell me my instrument is malfunctioning."

"It's not that your instrument is malfunctioning, but the Zerg's reproductive ability is too fast. We just killed all the Zerg, and not long after, these Zerg reproduced again." Ye Nan said righteously.

"You mean you kill and they grow, they grow and you kill, like crops?" The Engineer said angrily.

"That's what I mean. They want to reproduce here, and I have no use." Ye Nan's confidence was even stronger, "To tell you the truth, we have already killed dozens of times. You have to count the Zerg on dozens of planets that we killed."

"Dozens of planets." The Engineer laughed out of extreme anger, "Are you kidding? A planet full of Zerg, you actually convert it into the battle merits of dozens of planets. Do you really take me for an idiot or take the Pan-Galactic Alliance for a sucker?"

If it were in normal times, Ye Nan, who dared to make such a request, wouldn't even be ignored by him. If he were to pester, he would even send some troops to sanction the Human Federation and beat them up properly.

But not now. Having just received the news, he knew that the Zerg had already launched the final total attack. Many strange bugs that had never been seen before appeared on the battlefield one after another. And the high-level civilizations within the Pan-Galactic Alliance also observed that the Zerg began to come out of their base camp, the Scutum-Crux Arm. It could be said that they were all out, and all civilizations realized: the Zerg had launched the final total attack.

In this situation, the several ruling civilizations within the Pan-Galactic Alliance, in this situation, would at most ignore it. They no longer had a single soldier or general to attack other civilizations.

Added to this was the tone set by several high-level civilizations: promote other civilizations, let them fall into the quagmire of war, and share the pressure.

Of course, this promotion was also limited. They needed to improve the technology level just right, but not let them form pressure on several high-level civilizations after the war.

And this degree required him to grasp it. In fact, he came here with a spy mission: to observe the development degree of a civilization and make a report to submit.

"I didn't." Ye Nan spread his hands innocently, "I'm just stating our achievements. If you don't believe it, you can check."

"Check your sister." The Engineer cursed in his heart. How to check this kind of thing? Could it be that he could run to the Zerg and ask: How many times did the Human Federation kill you?

Although they were experts in the fields of viruses and biology, they didn't have much deterrent power against the Zerg, this strange race. In fact, in several confrontations, they took the so-called perfect weapon, the Alien, and suffered heavy losses. Even the Alien Mother was taken away by the Zerg.

Thinking of the Alien Mother, the Engineer felt heartache. The Alien Mother, manufactured by the wisdom of the entire Prometheus race, was only this one. It could be said to be the ancestor of all Aliens. It was precisely because of the Alien Mother that they could control all Aliens and Alien Queens. Losing the Alien Mother, the Alien, this biological weapon, would also escape their control.

"If it weren't for the fact that the genes of those damn Zerg couldn't be cracked at all, we would have already eradicated the damn Zerg."

If the Alien's genes were the most perfect, then the Zerg's genes were the most complex he had ever seen. God knows that in that tiny gene chain, there were actually genes of hundreds of thousands of different creatures, and these chaotic genes actually maintained a strange balance, preventing the Zerg themselves from collapsing.

Aliens could plunder the genes of other creatures to modify their own genes and let themselves adapt to the environment, while the Zerg could easily evolve into different creatures to adapt to different environments.

The former needed creatures as a blueprint, while the latter didn't need it at all. The two were clearly superior and inferior.

"Forget it, dozens of times it is." The Engineer waved his hand, not wanting to continue the discussion.

No matter what he said, Ye Nan could always find an excuse. Instead, because of some orders from high-level civilizations within the Pan-Galactic Alliance, he had to agree to his request.

Just now, he toured the Human Federation and found that the civilization of the Human Federation was really a bit low, and the technology development was also a bit deformed. For this kind of civilization, the Pan-Galactic Alliance internally wanted to vigorously promote it. As for Ye Nan's Space-Time Empire, he had no interest. In his mind, the Space-Time Empire that had just joined the Pan-Galactic Alliance was just a small indigenous civilization. In terms of civilization degree, it must be worse than the Human Federation.

"Agreed?" Ye Nan not only didn't rejoice, but instead hesitated in his heart.

Regarding the actions of the Pan-Galactic Alliance, he and Yilisi also analyzed the intention. They believed this was the Pan-Galactic Alliance's strategy of diverting the disaster.

Judging from some known information, the higher the level of civilization, the greater the attack intensity of the Zerg. Instead, for some low-level civilizations, they only sent some low-level bugs to attack.

The high-level civilizations that understood the habits of the Zerg released a large amount of technology data, forcibly improving the technology level of low-level civilizations. In this way, the Zerg would naturally increase the attack intensity, but the number of Zerg was not infinite. Dispatching a Zerg army, even if it was the lowest-level bug, would reduce the pressure on high-level civilizations on the frontal battlefield.

Ye Nan believed that it wasn't just him who saw this result. He believed that the rulers of other civilizations should also have seen this trap. But seeing it was one thing, and whether to swallow it was another.

This was like a fish bait. Knowing that there was a poisonous hook hidden inside, the fish would still swallow it because the temptation of the bait was too great, to the point of destroying reason.

As for swallowing it, temporarily retaining the data, one was that it was a waste not to use technology data, and the other was that he was afraid that the Pan-Galactic Alliance would take action against himself. After all, swallowing the bait, eating the bait, and spitting out the hook was not that easy.

But no matter how to promote, it needed a reason. It wouldn't give data for no reason, otherwise, it would break the rules.

So Ye Nan guessed that they would let him report battle merits at will. Originally, in his plan, he would arrange a few more battlefields and use these battlefields to make up the numbers. But now it seemed that it was no longer needed. Even for such a thing that was obviously a lie, this Engineer agreed, which was enough to prove the urgency of the matter.

"Could it be that those high-level civilizations can't hold on?" Ye Nan guessed in his heart.

He could be considered to have known the cruelty of the Zerg, and Zerg Lord Harris was a chosen one like him, so he overestimated the Zerg even more. But to say that high-level civilizations couldn't hold on, he still didn't quite believe it. After all, the Zerg's bug sea tactics really didn't have much effect in the face of those weapons that could destroy planets at will.

But the situation shown in reality made him have to suspect that high-level civilizations couldn't hold on.

"Two possibilities. The first is that high-level civilizations are deliberately hiding their strength, paralyzing the Zerg, and at the same time diverting the disaster, exchanging the smallest price for the greatest victory."

"The second possibility is that the Zerg's strength is even more powerful than I imagined, not only having a massive amount of low-level Zerg but also a massive amount of high-level Zerg. These high-level Zerg are all as powerful as the Alien Mother."

Two guesses turned in Ye Nan's heart. Soon, the guess that the Zerg were too powerful took the upper hand.

"If Harris gets the help of that woman Bess, maybe he will be even more powerful than imagined." (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
