Chapter 125: 125th

Rong Heng left Star B3024 with five battleships, accompanied by three cubs. Ruan Jiao was left behind and went to the tarmac with Garland to see him off.

The cyan battleship parked in the first row is huge, and the three characters "Dongfang" are sprayed with white paint on the side of the ship, which is particularly conspicuous among the several battleships ready to go - this is Rong Heng and Xiaozai The main battleship they were driving was originally robbed by Rong Heng from a group of interstellar pirates. Later, after being transformed by Ruan Shiqing, the performance was better than many new battleships. Rong Heng never changed the battleship again.

And named the battleship "Vostok".

Dongfang is green, Ruan Shiqing could not go to the battlefield with them, but the warships he transformed by himself always fought side by side with them.

After a while, the fleet with the whole army set off.

Until the shadow of the fleet could no longer be seen, Ruan Jiao followed Garland back to the laboratory.

Since the war on Drift Jupiter, they brought back many Zerg samples, and Garland is studying the characteristics of the Zerg in depth. And try to find their weaknesses. And Ruan Jiao undoubtedly knew the Zerg very well, so he just stayed to assist him.

The cub spends half a day in the laboratory every day. When Garland doesn't need his assistance, he just stays on the side reading and studying silently. When it is 09, it will start to land. The boat came to take him home.

At this time, the cub will go upstairs to report the day's events to his father, and then go to dinner.

In the evening, he will send messages in the common chat group. If Rong Heng and the cubs are not busy, they will chat with him for a while; It was busy over there, and he didn't care. He hugged his little pillow and ran into the bedroom, obediently sleeping beside his father.

Time just passed by.

Ruan Shiqing floated quietly in the water like a newborn baby, looking peaceful.

The clear water gently wrapped him, warm, as safe and comfortable as in the mother's womb.

I don't know how long it floated like this, the sleeping young man finally moved, struggling to open his eyes.

His eyes are very dark black, with a little light deep in them, pure, clean, without the slightest impurities. When he was completely awake, the light in his eyes flickered, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the calm water around him rippled.

Between the waves, he saw an unprecedented sight.

a departing ship.

After the hustle and bustle, the earth is only dead.

There was a dense pain coming from the heart, Ruan Shiqing covered his chest, and the water swayed and changed another picture.

It survived tenaciously from generation to generation. Perhaps because of garbage and sewage, or because of the leaking nuclear power plant in the distance, these stubborn insects have undergone tremendous changes over time.

.

They live and multiply on this abandoned planet, and year after year, they eat the garbage and waste that once spread across the land, rivers, and oceans. The originally devastated land has gradually recovered its original appearance over a long period of time.

These worms take it for granted as their home.

The gradually restored ecology makes their living environment better. Because there is sufficient food and no natural enemies, their populations are becoming more and more prosperous. They are led by the queen who holds the reproductive rights, and other members divide the labor. Cooperation, and gradually formed a stable ethnic structure.

After many years of abandonment, this dead planet has come to life again.

The queen of insects is supported by the entire group. After generations of screening, and under the opportunity of a meteorite fall, a certain generation of queens of insects developed wisdom and evolved.

The worm queen who first evolved realized that this extraterrestrial meteorite was beneficial to the group, so she began to mobilize the entire group to collect this meteorite everywhere. The recovered meteorites were all used as the bedrock for nesting. Under the cumulative influence of meteorites, the new insects are more powerful than before.

They have finally mastered the ability to fly.

The scope of collecting meteorites is no longer limited to the old homeland. Batches of insects leave their homes and go to the wider universe to find meteorites that are beneficial to the entire ethnic group.

Only one-tenth of the first batch of insects went out; one-fifth of the second batch of insects returned, and they brought back the meteorite they were looking for...

This kind of search day after day, they center on the old home, and continue to expand the search range, until one day, they find another planet—

The planet was different from the planet they encountered before, it had a lot of stones they needed, but it was inhabited by other creatures.

When the two sides meet, they attack and defend, and the war is about to break out.

Ruan Shiqing's eyes trembled slightly. This scene reminded him of the first war with the Zerg mentioned in the history of the Galactic Empire's war...

He suddenly understood what those pictures he had seen before—that was the evolutionary history of the Zerg.

The shock in his heart made him move subconsciously, the water waves slowly swayed, and the picture in front of him changed again.

This time, it was in an open cave. In the center of the cave stood a huge white egg. Countless Zerg squatted around the egg in awe.

The white egg went from static to vibrating, as if a new Zerg was about to burst out. However, in the end, it was not the dark arthropods that shredded the egg coat, but a pair of white arms.

It was an adult female.

Black hair, red eyes, a pair of tentacles on the front of her forehead, her naked body was covered with mucus, and her long hair fell to her ankles. There is a "hissing" sound unique to the Zerg.

Ruan Shiqing strangely understood her words at this time.

She is saying: The memory passed down by the ancestors is not wrong, and "Tianshi" can help us evolve.

The Zerg lying under the throne stood upright, waving their limbs, and constantly making a "hiss" sound.

They swore allegiance to the Queen and were excited for the war to come.

However, the newly transformed insect queen did not promise war.

She selected several strong male Zerg and guided them through evolution. And for the first time put forward the idea of ​​"truce and peace talks".

For thousands of years, the Zerg have never stopped fighting with the empire in order to find the "Stone of the Sky" for the evolution of the tribe.

As long as the defense line is broken, the planet behind the defense line will be at their fingertips, and the "Sky Stone" on the planet will also belong to them. The Queen's proposal was not approved by the other higher Zerg.

But the status of the queen of insects in the clan is unquestionable, and even if they disagree, no zerg dare to resist.

So the peace talks went on as scheduled, and the queen brought two male Zerg after the evolution, bypassed the front line of defense, and sneaked into the imperial star field.

After several dives, she learned about the culture and technology of the Empire, and also the "Heavenly Stone" that helped the evolution of the ethnic group. The core of its function is actually the "H2H element" contained in the stone. In the domain, the soil of many planets contains this element. Because of the existence of H2H element, plants cannot survive. Even if they barely survive, they are all toxic. But this element plays a vital role in the reproduction of her ethnic group.

After several rounds, the queen finally contacted the queen of the empire, Farah. After proving her identity, she proposed the idea of ​​​​a truce and peace talks.

But the grudges of thousands of years are not so easy to resolve. No one could really trust the other party, and it took more than a year to keep testing and negotiating. During this period, although the fighting on both sides was suspended, it did not stop completely.

Until the last meeting, the two sides reached agreement.

The queen of the empire and the queen of the Zerg officially shook hands after signing a lengthy and complicated truce.

After that, the truce agreement only needs to be announced to the public, the two sides withdraw their troops from the front line, and then send diplomatic envoys to communicate the details of follow-up exchanges. This ethnic war that has lasted for thousands of years can draw a stop.

Ruan Shiqing seemed to feel the relaxed and happy mood of the queen, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

But this is when something happened—

An unknown gas suddenly spewed from the central air conditioner of the conference room, and then the entire conference room exploded and collapsed, and there was a sound of violent artillery fire outside, and there was a vague "infestation of insects" "prepare immediately" sound came in.

The two realized the accident and rushed out of the collapsed conference room, calling their respective guards, but unexpectedly, the guards who came suddenly moved their hands towards each other.

The unknown gas inhaled makes people in a trance, their limbs are weak, and their strength is greatly reduced.

Queen Farah was besieged by more than a dozen powerful Zerg, and it didn't take long for her to gradually fall; People surrounded her. During the fierce resistance, she transformed into a worm form and tried to escape from the battlefield, but unexpectedly, the other party was already prepared and dispatched several gunboats to bombard them with full firepower.

The queen fled the encirclement with serious injuries, and when she was dying, she used her last strength to lay two king eggs.

She hid the two king eggs separately, but when she hid the second king egg, she accidentally revealed her whereabouts and died of exhaustion.

And the worm egg that was not hidden in time was left on the frontline battlefield, and was finally brought back by the zerg chasing after the smell.

The water waves are still shaking, but Ruan Shiqing's mind is immersed in the tragic battle, unable to recover.

, but like scattered threads, no clue can be found.

The swaying water wave gradually calmed down, but Ruan Shiqing felt a suffocation in his heart.

He swung his limbs vigorously, trying to swim up and surface. However, the water that surrounded him seemed to have no boundaries, and until he was exhausted, he could not reach the surface.

In the end, I could only stop panting, let my tense body stretch and relax, and float quietly with the water waves, waiting for my physical strength to recover.

Ruan Shiqing looked at the rippling water above his head, thinking that he was trapped here, Rong Heng and the cubs must be very worried about him, and they didn't know if they would cry.

He needs to go back as soon as possible,

After resting for a while, he struggled to move again, but the top of his forehead was suddenly itchy. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, but caught a black tentacle.

The tentacles were long and flexible, swaying in his palm.
