When an Alien is Bound to a World Saving SystemCh51.1 - Facing the zerg race (1.1)

Afterwards, Huo Li and that mantis zerg happily chatted for a while, causing Xiao Yi to be completely bewildered by their strange words. The tall zerg then turned around and made a gesture of leading the way. The surrounding zergs also bowed in succession and made way for a path. The two of them followed the mantis zerg along the gap between the vast expanse of fern plants that were more than half a metre high, heading towards the distant forest composed of tall dark green trees.

The other zergs watched these few people leave before continuing with their work on the land. That tall mantis zerg walked in front, but the black-haired youth deliberately slowed his pace to maintain a 10 metre distance behind him. He watched the tail section of the zerg that was giving off a metallic lustre and swaying rhythmically with each stride while he whispered to the system: pgSalB

“2d14, is there the zerg language in your inherent lexicon?”

System 2d14 quickly replied: [Yes, Lord…… Uh, Great Lord Host.]

The black-haired youth: “Help me transmit it right now. I want to hurry up and learn it! Also, don’t call me ‘Great’.”

System 2d14: [Yes, Lord Host! But the zerg race has 27 different languages….. Lord Host, which one do you want to learn ah?] 1nUpoN

The black-haired youth took a deep breath and whispered: “I’ll just learn the one that the zergs were speaking before.”

System 2d14 hesitated: [But, they seem to belong to different zerg ethnicities. Their languages are all mixed when they speak with each other.]

The black-haired youth: “Then transmit all 27 languages! Eh? Why are there 27? Back on the starship, didn’t the news say that there were 28 different branches of the zerg?”

Huo Li: “At that time, I said that I didn’t have any ‘blood’ relations with the zergs.”

The black-haired youth resisted the urge to roll his eyes and followed them into the forest. At this time, because of the dense treetop canopy, the originally sunny surrounding instantly darkened, as though storm clouds were approaching.

The black-haired youth coldly and concisely responded with his consciousness: “Don’t dodge. Explain it.” JP1d3r

Thus, as their group walked through the forest, Huo Li used his consciousness to slowly narrate what had happened many years ago: “700 years ago, humanity still hadn’t colonised many planets. Under the leadership of the entire Interstellar Federation, all of mankind was in a state of crazed expansion. Practically all of the inhabitable planets in the nearby galaxies were quickly developed and used by humanity. The population has long been saturated. This was until some exploration spacecrafts discovered this vast zerg race territory in the middle of the galaxy.

Unlike humanity’s method of filling up all inhabitable planets, the zergs only lived and multiplied on planets with the best natural conditions in the galaxy. So although the zergs only inhabited a few tens of thousands of planets, the area they occupied was practically equal to that of humans at the time. However, their ecological environment was much stronger than that of humanity. Hence, the Interstellar Federation had thoughts of attacking the zerg race to occupy land.”

The black-haired youth: “Then, the humans lost and aroused the wrath of the zergs, which lead to hundreds of human planets being attacked and reduced to apocalypses? Then at that time, in order to save the human world, you took the opportunity to infiltrate the zerg royal city to control the zerg kings and queens, turn the tide to stop the zerg’s attack, and save all of humanity?”

Huo Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: “No. When the attacks first happened, humanity won time and time again. When they were about to break through the zerg’s outer defences and march straight into inner region of the zerg territory, I infiltrated the zerg royal city with the host system’s tacit agreement and changed the memories of the zerg kings and queens, making them think that I am the 28th zerg king.” 2sxdTg

The black-haired youth: “And then?”

Huo Li: “I commanded the zerg army to defeat humanity’s attack.”

The black-haired youth: “……”

Huo Li: “Xiao Yi, I really am standing on the side of humanity!” cvfVUF

The black-haired youth: “Heh!”

At this moment, under the cover of the trees, a modern manor that was out of sync with the surroundings appeared up ahead. The conversation temporarily came to a halt. They walked around a nearly 50 metre high tree before entering the gate of the manor. Without the fences blocking the view, the black-haired youth saw at least dozen of zergs in the manor working hard to clean the weeds on the green lawn and trim the shrubs. What was even more ridiculous was that there was also a group of zergs walking back and forth carrying large buckets to add water to a small fountain pond.

Seeing Huo Li’s arrival, the zerg leading the work shouted something, and the other zergs hurriedly sped up their pace. By the time Huo Li and the others arrived at the front door of the villa, the majority of the zergs in the house had already finished their work and quickly withdrew. There were only two or three zergs who still haven’t finished, awkwardly carrying a bucket and a cleaning rag to wipe away the dust. When they saw the ‘Great Zerg King’ arrive, they promptly and pitifully tried to reduce their presence as much as possible while continuing to quickly wipe the glass.

With the leading zerg’s command, there was also a group of zergs who used there sharp forelimbs to carefully carry rows of colourful fruits and dishes and arrange them on the large long white dining table. After this group of staff filed out, the leading zerg bowed deeply by the door before respectfully closing it and withdrawing. 9yE CY

Huo Li glanced at the zergs who were still cleaning the glass, only to frighten one of them such that they accidentally used too much force and cut the cleaning rag in two. They then carefully used their forelimbs to pick up the two half pieces in panic and frantically wipe the glass.

Huo Li continued to use his mental power to carefully explain: “Xiao Yi, you have to understand. With the circumstances 700 years ago, if we had allowed the Interstellar Federation to send large troops to penetrate deep into the zerg’s inner region, it would have definitely evolved into an extremely tragic and prolonged war! At that time, the reason why the zergs retreated again and again in defeat was because humanity had only seized control of the territory of two of the zerg branches. The troops the zerg’s dispatched were only 2/27 of their effective power. But if humanity had continued to advance, it would lead to a full strength counterattack from the zergs. A full scale war between two equally matched races, the consequences……”

The black-haired youth listened to Huo Li explain in his mind as he leisurely walked up to the long table, curiously touching the strange food that the zergs have served: “Hence you kindly helped the zergs resist humanity’s attack, and also used this to establish a lot of prestige among the zerg race. But then when the zergs counterattack against humanity and caused hundreds of apocalypses, you could have directly ordered them to stop their attack, but you didn’t.”

At this moment, the three zergs who were scared witless finally finished wiping the windows. They picked up their small buckets and used their six limbs to quickly crawl out of the villa. TBFm69

Huo Li looked at the youth and hesitated for a long while before nodding and confessing: “At that time, the power of the Interstellar Federation was too strong and all of humanity had sunk into a kind of dangerous militaristic state. Hence, we had to let the Interstellar Federation pay a price for their premature advances in order to reverse this state and allow humanity to cool down from their arrogant thoughts of supremacy. As for the zergs, the planets they attacked were originally their territories. They were just recapturing the homelands they had lost, so I had no reason to stop it. Also, zergs are egg laying organisms and their lifespans are very shorts. They do not care about their own lives. Instead, just like ants, what’s important to them is their population and territory.”

The black-haired youth picked up a cup of zerg planet spring water and took a sip. He then chuckled as he put the cup down and said: “That sounds very dignified. After you let these ‘small conflicts’ cause hundreds of apocalypses, the status of the Interstellar Federation plummeted. Due to the needs of these apocalypses, the Salvation Alliance finally established its place in the human galaxy. At that time, its prestige had surpassed that of the Interstellar Federation, and as the saviour of these apocalyptic worlds, you were also well-regarded for a while, causing people to temporarily lower their fear towards you. This was killing two birds with one stone, but who knows which bird you really cared about in your heart?”

Having been thoroughly exposed, Huo Li feel silent and seemed to fall into a dilemma in his heart.

The black-haired youth: “For such a ruthless strategy of yours…… I can only say: Well done! The Interstellar Federation should have been beaten long ago! It’s a pity that I wasn’t born yet!” ULpjr1

Huo Li looked at the youth whose eyes were bursting with excitement and momentarily couldn’t react.
