Chapter 53: Chapter 52: Third Kind of Contact (Middle)
Editor: Exodus Tales
Dino was now quite excited.
Looking out at the Zerg army from the helicopter, he was so thrilled that he could hardly hold the microphone steady.
This was his chance!
Gripping the microphone tightly, Dino swore silently to himself that this time he was going to make big news! Those colleagues who only dared to sneak a few shots from a distance were wasting their time. He, Dino Quick of the BBC, was going to have a face-to-face with these suddenly appeared mysterious alien creatures!
Moreover, it was going to be a global broadcast!
Bart, get us a bit lower!
Are you crazy? You really want to enter those creatures' nest? They might attack us!
The pilot, who was responsible for flying the helicopter, was shocked to hear Dino's order and shouted in surprise, while Dino waved his hand dismissively.
That's why I hired you, Bart. You're the best; I know you can do it! Relax, those aliens won't attack us. They are friends of humanity!
Dino was among the humans who believed the Zerg were friends of mankind. This was why he dared to personally enter the Zerg's territory and even fly towards their nest. Dino believed that these alien Zerg were here to help humanity, so as a member of humanity, he felt he must welcome these alien guests on behalf of humans. Dino could even imagine what kind of impact it would have when he talked to those aliens on live television in front of the cameras! He would become a hero in human history, a bridge of communication between humans and alien life!
As for the military blockade, Dino thought it was completely unnecessary. Those soldiers only knew how to fight; they didn't understand the value of peace at all. We humans are a civilized species; how could we treat alien guests so barbarically?
Especially the news censorship; it was downright stupid! Everyone had the right to know all this, they couldn't just block it all off! It wasn't fair! As a journalist, he had to defend the freedom of the press! Even if it cost him his life!
Looking at the various Zerg structures appearing in the city, Dino was extremely excited. Fang Zheng had perfectly exemplified the characteristic of Zerg building their bases whenever they established their presence, rapidly expanding several mines in one go—now, the underground near these cities had basically been hollowed out by the Zerg.
Dino took a deep breath and then turned to the camera, gesturing to the cameraman. Soon, the camera was on, the red light turning green. At the same time, Dino quickly began to speak.
Hello, viewers, welcome to this special live broadcast. I am Dino from BBC One, and I am currently leading my team to the location of the alien life. As you can see, we are now over them. Look, these alien creatures are welcoming our arrival!
As he spoke, Dino made a gesture downward, while a few drops of cold sweat ran down the forehead of the cameraman holding the camera. To be honest, he didn't think those terrifying creatures below, circling around, were welcoming them. Looking at them raising their heads and roaring… it just felt like they were being eyed as food!
Dear viewers, next, we are going to…
But before Dino could finish, a roar suddenly rang out, and they were astonished to see a huge creature silently rising into the air, heading straight for their helicopter!
Quick, get us out of here!!
It had to be said that the Zerg indeed didn't have a good appearance, and the Corruptor was no exception— a massive head, sharp jaws, swaying tentacles, and that eerie coloration, it looked like a demon from Hell. So, upon seeing the Corruptor, Pilot Bart immediately wanted to get out of there.
No, we must ascend. It's coming at us, extending that damn tentacle. Oh, no!! It's got us!!
Relax, Bart, they are welcoming us! Bart, don't overreact so much, oh… damn it!
But the pilot clearly wasn't going to follow Dino's orders; he was already scared out of his wits by the flying Corruptor, frantically operating the helicopter to sway left and right in an attempt to break free. Dino was also at a loss for words now; he could only grip the nearby lever tightly to avoid being thrown out. Although inwardly cursing this damn fool for having no composure, Dino could only hope he wouldn't fall to his death!
But what happened next almost scared them out of their wits!
The Corruptor suddenly opened its mouth and spat a strange liquid onto the helicopter. They watched as the helicopter's exterior rapidly softened, as if being corroded, and the once fiercely spinning propeller blades fell limp like noodles. The Corruptor then extended its tentacles and grabbed the helicopter, wobblily carrying it away.
Oh my God, they're going to eat us! They're going to eat us!
Uh, dear viewers, I think we've encountered a slight mishap, but it shouldn't be a big problem…
Even Dino's face didn't look good now. Although he still believed these alien creatures were friendly, the power of the Corruptor's spit troubled him. He was now worried whether the impulsive actions of the idiot pilot might make the aliens think they were coming with hostile intentions. If that were the case, it would be very bad!
However, the Corruptor didn't do as Dino feared by delivering them to the center of some Zerg nest, nor did it eat them. Instead, it wobbled to the edge of the area and appeared before Wang Dong and the others, slamming the helicopter to the ground with a “thud” of its tentacle.
What is this…
Seeing the Corruptor fly over, Wang Dong and the others were fully alert, ready for any threat. But when the creature dropped the battered helicopter before them, no one knew how to react. Before they could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out in everyone's mind.
Do not disturb us, humans!
Along with the unexpected voice in their minds, they saw a creature with the upper body of a human female and the lower body resembling a deer, emerging from the distance. Beside it, a group of Jumping Bugs were glaring menacingly at the humans, radiating a clear aura of hostility.
We are representatives sent by the United Command!
Seeing Mirune appear, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They had been worried about communicating with these terrifying aliens, but now it seemed possible. The bespectacled woman quickly stepped forward, spreading her hands in a harmless gesture.
We only wish to communicate with you…
But I'm not interested in you.
Mirune looked at the human woman in front of her with distaste. To be honest, if it weren't for Fang Zheng's order not to harm humans, she would have long turned these people into Jumping Bug food… no, these fragile and useless beings weren't even worth that; they had no strength and nothing to excite the Zerg's interest. According to the Zerg's law, such valueless creatures should be destroyed immediately to maintain the purity of the gene pool.
But Mirune was annoyed by these humans' persistence. These fragile creatures should be trembling before the Zerg's might, yet they dared to negotiate. This made Mirune angry. She thought for a moment. Fang Zheng's order was for her to drive these humans away “unharmed” and avoid any contact with them. But now it seemed she might need to use some other means.
We only seek mutual understanding; we bear no malice!
Perhaps sensing the displeasure in Mirune's tone, the bespectacled woman became even more anxious. She thought that it was the fault of those damn reporters for causing these aliens to be so displeased with them. But that was understandable; after all, they had intruded upon the creatures' territory. Any territorial being would naturally be upset by this.
Mutual understanding?
Hearing this, Mirune's eyes flashed with an idea.
Then let me show you what you're really facing!
Before the words finished, the humans saw the creature's eyes suddenly emit a dazzling light. The next moment, their heads felt like they were about to explode with pain, and visions filled their minds.
It was the Zerg.
In the visions, the humans saw the Zerg's progression, conquering one planet after another, consuming and assimilating every powerful species they encountered, growing stronger, and more terrifying. For the Zerg, devouring and evolving was their eternal pursuit, and everything else… was meaningless!
The visions vanished in an instant, but everyone was drenched in sweat. The bespectacled woman, her face pale, collapsed to the ground, trembling and at a loss for words.
Leave now, humans.
Seeing the humans' reactions, Mirune nodded with satisfaction. This was the attitude a lower species should have, not the arrogant belief that they could negotiate with the Zerg.
We have no interest in you.
