“Alright.” When the cheers quietened down, Hong Dali wave his hand lightly and said, “Although we managed to stop the Zerg temporarily, Fourth Uncle mentioned that the Zergs have very strong immunity. This zombie virus will not hold up for long. We need to think of something else soon. Instead of waiting around, we need to plan the next step.”
“En, that’s true.” Feng Wuhen looked at Hong Dali, then looked at Jiang Qianxue’s flushed face. He rubbed his chin. “Why didn’t I think of this? I wasted such a good opportunity…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Qianxue stomped hard on his foot…
“Alright, quiet down, everyone.” Hong Jianye signaled. “Hear Dali out. This is probably all I can come up with. I will try my best to help everyone out with the planning. These are all the evil ideas I can come up with…”
Everyone thought: It’s a pity. If only there were endless ideas…
“En, the current situation is still rather tense,” Hong Dali said slowly. “The Zerg are temporarily suppressed. But I estimate that we can only keep them away for a maximum of three to four days. According to the initial information, the Zerg Knights should arrive soon. I don’t think the Zerg Knights will be afraid of the zombie virus. By then, with the Zergs’ ability to evolve genetically, our time is very tight.”
Everyone agreed with Hong Dali.
Although the zombie virus was strong, it would not last for long. All things aside, when the Zerg Knights arrived, they would be able to easily penetrate the corroded particle cannon of the Second-Order space carrier. And the Zergs might change their route to come from the other side of Earth. After all, the universe was too vast. Although 500 million zombie Zergs sounded like a lot, they became insignificant when placed in space. The fact that the Zergs retreated earlier on, meant that there must be a leader commanding them from behind. A detour was entirely possible.
“Hence,” Hong Dali frowned and thought for a while. “our first mission is to speed up the migration process. At the same time, we need to find out why Zergs are invading Earth!
“Uncle Tang Long mentioned that something on Earth must have been attracting the King Zergs. It’s a mystery as to what the inducement is. We need to find out what it is. Otherwise, no matter where we escape to, we will be like a beacon attracting the bugs. The Zergs will not stop their attack. We need to hurry up!”
Inducement! Inducement of King Zergs!
Six million ordinary Zergs had been sent this time. On a scale like this, the reason was definitely more than just wanting to eat Zergs. The large volume must have been attracted by King Zergs!
Mutated Zergs were cultivating Zerg Knights somewhere in space. They should arrive on Earth soon.
If the reason for the inducement was not found, the Zergs would follow everywhere humans went. This was no joke! In addition to the birth of King Zergs, it would definitely be the catastrophe of the humans in the galaxy!
But the inducement of King Zergs…
“Dali, we have too little information about King Zergs.” Tang Muxin reminded. “We only know King Zergs will be produced. But we don’t know how they are produced!”
“King Zergs?” Hong Jianye mumbled to himself and asked, “Dali, Tell me about the production of King Zergs. And mutated Zergs, as well as Zerg Knights.”
“Okay.” Hong Dali proceeded to tell him everything about King Zergs, Mutated Zergs, and Zerg Knights.
After listening, Hong Jianye gave up as well. “There’s not enough information. It’s impossible to analyze. This is bothersome. However, the inducement is absolutely true. If not for the inducement, the Zergs would kill each other and the King Zerg would appear before us after it has matured. But it is attacking Earth aggressively. From this perspective, they have definitely not gotten the inducement yet.”
His words got everyone’s agreement.
If King Zergs appeared with a large number of Zergs, why would they come to Earth?
“Inducement, inducement…” Hong Dali scratched his head. “How do we know what attracted the King Zergs? Some object? Some animal? Someone?”
“Calm down. At a time like this, the more everyone should calm down!” Hong Dali took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he looked around and fixed his eyes on Tang Muxin.
Tang Muxin did not do much usually. Speaking of which, if everyone around Hong Dali had a purpose, as his fiancée, Tang Muxin certainly did not have many purposes. In other words, she was like a vase.
Hong Dali did not mind that. There was something very important about Tang Muxin. When it came to serious matters, she was able to analyze very important things together with Hong Dali.
For example, when Liu Mingxin participated in the auction, or the crisis of the Tang Family, etc.
When they discussed matters together, the result was often great.
“Everyone, take a rest,” Hong Dali said slowly. “Let me study something with Xinxin first.”
“Alright.” Everyone understood. Hong Dali wanted to analyze something and nodded at the same time.
Soon, Hong Dali and Tang Muxin entered a quiet lounge and sat face to face.
“Xinxin,” Hong Dali thought carefully. “I think the most important thing is the inducement of the King Zergs. Without the inducement, the Zergs will not come in such large numbers. What do you think about it?”
“Actually, there has always been something at the back of my mind. But I could not grasp it.” Tang Muxin bit her lip, paused, and then said, “Dali, I know you are anxious now. You are kind-hearted. The threat of the Zergs caused a lot of stress to you. I understand. But you need to know—” At this moment, Tang Muxin held Hong Dali’s hand. “You are our hope. Everyone can be anxious but you. Once you become anxious and shake the morale of the army, it is as good as losing this battle.”
Tang Muxin had just passed her eighteenth birthday. But after roaming Earth and the universe with Hong Dali for such a long period of time, she had grown, too.
She was no longer the little girl in school. She was an understanding, occasionally jealous, and cute lady. That might be her little flaw, but her heart had never changed. Just like Hong Dali, she cared for everyone around her.
“Yes, I cannot be anxious…” Hong Dali understood Tang Muxin.
Earth worshiped him like a savior. He could fight. He could fight for his brothers, friends, and family. He could get hurt and bleed. But there was something he could not do.
He could not mess up.
Once he messed up, that would cause an immense impact—humans on Earth would lose their confidence.
No matter how dangerous the situation was, as long as one had confidence, it would be easier to get through. But once confidence was gone, then everything else was gone.
“Dali is the best, indeed. Hehe.” Seeing Hong Dali’s relaxed expression, Tang Muxin grinned and comforted him. “Actually, it’s not as bad as it seems. The first step in our plan was to send everyone to the new planet. Now that the Zergs are temporarily stopped, the migration process will speed up. When they have all left, wouldn’t it be easier for us to fight or stay?”
“Of course.” Hong Dali appeared to be in a better mood. He laughed. “Xinxin is the best. En, let’s think carefully and analyze this.”
He touched his chin and began analyzing. “We need to first determine the Zergs’ goal.”
He drew a circle and said, “This is Earth. Such a large volume of Zergs attacked Earth this time. It matches what Uncle Tang Long said about the birth of King Zergs. Now comes the question. Is their goal the humans on Earth?”
This was an important question. If the Zergs were not here for humans, the crisis would have been reduced by at least half!
“Dali, to be honest, I think,” Tang Muxin looked at the circle that Hong Dali drew and supported her little chin with her hand. “the main goal of the Zergs are not humans. If their target is humans, then there’s no need to mobilize so many at once. According to what we’ve heard about the wars between humans and the Zergs, it sounds like they only have a few million to tens of millions. It’s rare to have hundreds of millions appearing. Did you realize that Brother Tianzong and the others were shocked to hear that there were so many Zergs? They would not have such expressions if this was the usual volume. This is the conclusion, then: their primary purpose is definitely the inducement of the King Zergs! That means it doesn’t matter if the humans on Earth stay or leave. As long as the inducement remains, they will definitely not pursue us.”
Tang Muxin’s analysis was logical.
There was a saying in Heavenly State: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Between killing all the humans on Earth and the King Zergs’ inducement, the latter was definitely more important!
