Chapter 1218 Nest Builder (First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
In the space of the Beichen Empire, the large wormhole channels that can lead to the Dongtianyuan Kingdom and the Ximaneli Federation have been completely closed as soon as the problems in the star networks of these two countries were learned.
No Zerg army can directly reach the Beichen Empire through the large wormhole channels.
The Southern Cross, which is currently at war, has been incorporated into the Beichen Empire and is considered the real front-line war area of the Beichen Empire.
After Xia Chujian looked at the star map, she wanted to go to the Southern Cross Principality to see with her own eyes what the situation there is like.
The videos on the star network and the warnings of Huo Yushen and Quan Yuxun are only second-hand information.
She wanted to understand the first-hand information and then formulate a targeted strategy.
Although she only studied at the Imperial Royal First Military University for one year, Xia Chujian had learned everything she should learn.
Now all she needs is field training and internship.
She thought about it and decided to try to fly to the Southern Cross Star Region for another ten minutes.
It would definitely not reach the Southern Cross in ten minutes, but she could see the situation along the way.
Her mecha can be invisible and is very fast. Even if there is a problem ahead, she can still escape unscathed.
Xia Chujian wanted to leave, and quickly switched the form of the Xuannv Qingyao Titanium mecha to a very small single-person aircraft mode, then quickly accelerated and sped forward at multiples of the third cosmic speed.
Just after flying for five minutes, Xia Chujian saw an interstellar spaceship appear on the star road ahead.
Interstellar spaceships are generally used as transportation tools in the Beichen star field, which can transport people, goods and commodities.
Ahead is the Southern Cross Principality, which is fighting with the Zerg army. Could this interstellar spaceship come from there?
Xia Chujian's eyes flashed slightly, and she flew over immediately.
When the distance got closer, Xia Chujian's mecha detection system observed that the words "Simaneli Federation" were written on the side of the interstellar spaceship!
So, this is a spaceship belonging to the Simaneli Federation.
But, hasn't the Simaneli Federation been destroyed by the Zerg army?
Moreover, the Simanelli Federation is located in the east and is not on this star route.
Xia Chujian immediately concluded that this was not a starship of the Simanelli Federation, but a starship requisitioned by the Zerg army!
Because the Simanelli Federation had been destroyed by the Zerg army.
Everything there was destroyed, except for some factories, workers, engineers and scientists who stayed to continue military production for the Zerg army.
So is this starship transporting people or goods?
Xia Chujian flew up faster.
When approaching the starship, Xia Chujian switched to the close-fitting mecha mode, gently landed on the platform at the top of the starship's exterior, and placed his hand on a radar antenna of the spaceship.
Qilu noticed her intention and immediately separated a part of the program and followed the radar antenna to enter the interior of the starship.
The Simanelli Federation was the most technologically advanced country among the four countries in the Beichen star field.
Therefore, Qilu was very careful, worried that some particularly high-end mechanical intelligence would discover its existence.
It only used the detection program, and immediately cut off from its main program after it was released.
In this way, it doesn't matter if it is discovered, it is impossible to trace it back to it.
And the separated program will continue to send back signals, so it can still receive them as wireless electronic signals.
Soon, Xia Chujian saw the situation inside the spacecraft on his eyepiece display.
This is indeed an interstellar spaceship requisitioned by the Zerg army!
In the cockpit of the interstellar spaceship, there are actually two Zerg soldiers who are almost as tall as adults!
Their body shape even looks very similar to that of a human, but their heads are still like mantises, and there are two more antennae on their heads that look like antennas.
Not only do they have eyes on their heads, but each antenna also has an eye.
Each Zerg soldier has six arms, and they are operating on the control panel at the same time.
They are covered with thick black carapaces, which look like thick armor and are difficult to penetrate at first glance.
However, they did not wear helmets on their heads, and their faces showed a sense of nervousness and fear, like new recruits on their first mission.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes and changed her perspective to continue watching.
Outside the cockpit, there was a narrow corridor leading to a door.
Behind the door was a huge cargo hold!
Yes, this was a cargo interstellar spaceship.
The things in the cargo hold were packed and placed together, neatly, each the size of a container, and I didn't know what was in it.
Then there were about a hundred Zergs, sitting on the ground with their legs spread out, making a mess.
They didn't look like the two Zergs in the cockpit that were already close to human form, but like big ants, but not very smart.
They had a layer of gray carapace on their bodies, which didn't look thick.
Xia Chujian felt that these big gray ants were probably the low-level Zergs that Sang Yadi had told her about, responsible for digging fortifications and serving as cannon fodder.
They were not even Zerg soldiers, but only Zerg slaves.
The two interstellar spaceship pilots were most likely middle-level Zergs, and should be regular Zerg troops.
So where did the Zerg army send this group of more than 100 low-level Zerg slaves? What were they going to do?
In the cargo hold, these low-level Zergs were touching each other with their tentacles, as if they were communicating some information.
Xia Chu felt very itchy and said to Qilu, "Qilu, can you find a way to hear what they are saying?"
Qilu said: "Master, wait a moment, this language is not included in Qilu's database."
"But the biological information they send out is very similar to insects. Wait for Qilu to decipher it according to the insect communication model."
After a few minutes, Qilu deciphered the messages exchanged by these lowly Zerg.
It displays the information exchanged by these low-level bugs in text on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
[Qilu]: Ahhh! Is the place we are going to this time the same manor where the nesters went last time? !
[Qilu]: Yes, yes! I heard from the last nest builder Thirty-Six that it ate a female human here and left a seed in the belly of a female human!
[Qilu]: Ahhhhh! I want it too! I want to eat humans too! I heard it can help us evolve!
【Qilu】: Save the seeds! Saving seeds is the most important thing! As long as you can save seeds! We nest builders can also give birth to medium bugs!
[Qilu]: Listen to what the above medium insect said, if you eat humans, it will be easier to evolve if you eat male humans. But using female humans to save seeds is more suitable than male humans! Because the worms born from female humans have a greater chance of evolving into medium worms!
Qilu explained: "...these low-level insect slaves call themselves nest builders."
Xia Chujian: "!!!"'
So angry!
It's so crazy!
Or should we say that they also have dreams? !
They are just low-level Zerg, and they also want to evolve by eating humans, and use humans to save their seeds!
If you are not satisfied with using a human man to save the seed, you also need a human woman to save the seed? !
Is it tolerable or not? !
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and asked Qilu softly: "Qilu, can you find the destination of this interstellar spacecraft's voyage?"
Qilu took a while and typed a line of children's graffiti on her eyepiece display.
It was a series of coordinate data showing the end of the starship's voyage.
Xia Chujian blinked: "...I can't understand."
Qilu wrote a few more words on her eyepiece display.
[Qilu]: The end of the voyage is the asteroid where the master is stationed.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
This is too scary!
Wasn't the asteroid she was stationed on already recaptured? !
Are these Zerg dissatisfied and want to take them back? !
If the end point of this interstellar spacecraft was not a certain star field in the Beichen Empire, let alone the asteroid she was stationed on, Xia Chujian could have pretended not to have seen it.
Anyway, the Beichen Empire hasn't officially started a war with the Zerg yet, so she won't get involved in advance, so as not to disrupt the strategic plan above.
But the problem is that the destination of this interstellar spacecraft is not only the star field where the Beichen Empire's Shaofu Star is located, but also the asteroid where she is stationed!
In this way, Xia Chujian had to be careful.
She thought deeply and asked: "Qilu, tell me, is there any connection between the asteroid I was sent to garrison and the starship from the Zerg army that was about to fly to that asteroid?"
Qilu said: "What does the master mean? Qilu didn't understand."
Xia Chujian said bluntly: "What I mean is, is there someone colluding with the Zerg army? Or, someone knows that the Zerg army has not given up on the asteroid and deliberately sent me to station, so that there is a high possibility that I will be killed by the Zerg army. There..."
Qilu said: "Theoretically, the latter is more likely."
"The former possibility is not very feasible."
"For humans, there is no benefit in colluding with the Zerg army. Haven't the lessons of the Eastern Divine Kingdom and the Cimanelli Federation been enough?"
"They just had a traitor who betrayed their country, which led to the rapid destruction of the country."
"None of these traitors have escaped the ravages of the Zerg army."
Xia Chujian said: "...Maybe, I don't know, but no matter what, the result is the same."
"Someone wants to kill me with the help of the Zerg army."
She pondered for a moment and then asked Qilu: "Qilu, can you find more information from the mechanical intelligence of this interstellar spacecraft?"
"For example, who gave the order?"
"Is there any collusion between the Zerg and the Beichen Empire?"
What Xia Chujian didn't say was that although humans seemed to have no intention of colluding with the Zerg, because the Zerg did not matter whether you were a traitor or not, as long as you were a human, you were their source of food and reproduction.
But what if some of the humans in the Beichen Empire are not humans at all?
Xia Chujian inevitably thought of the legacy.
After all, the biggest leader of the Zerg army, Wen Renzhao, has a high-ranking relic standing behind him...
This is the first update, there will be a second update at five past twelve noon!
So what, I want to publish a single chapter and ask for monthly votes o(╥﹏╥)o
