574. The perfect race

Tang Xiao waited in the office for a long time, but the person still hadn't come. He became a little impatient and asked, "Mainframe, how is the situation of the awakening personnel now?"

[The awakening personnel is still staying in the medical center. I will transfer the communication from the medical center to you immediately.]

After a few more seconds, the voice of the director of the medical center came through the communication, "I'm sorry, Mr. Governor, this... er, sir, he will not come out until he has tidied up his appearance. And he was initially unwilling to accept a physical examination from medical staff, and only accepted medical robots."

"If I read the time correctly, he has been in there for an hour, right?" Tang Xiao rubbed his forehead.

"Yes, that's right." The chief doctor said and suddenly whispered, "Ah, sir, you are finally out. How do you feel now? I'm sorry because I haven't really come into contact with your race and can only judge it through the data in the database..."

"..."

"Ah, okay, you're fine. Our governor is waiting for you."

"..."

"Oh, it's okay, you're too polite. I wish you good health and goodbye." The chief doctor muttered to himself on the other end of the communication, but he did not hear the other party's voice.

Tang Xiao was mentally prepared for this situation. He straightened his clothes, then returned to his desk and sat upright.

After a while, a voice suddenly came from his mind, "Can I come in? Mr. Governor."

This voice is very elegant and low-pitched, making it appear rather feminine, but it can still be distinguished as a male voice. Just hearing this voice made Tang Xiao imagine the image of a feather fan with a turban. Unfortunately, when he thought about Protoss's appearance, this image collapsed again in an instant.

"Come in." Tang Xiao said.

The office door opened, and a person walked in, a Protoss, Protoss.

Protoss is a wonderful and powerful race. They have skin covered with fine and delicate scales. Their eyes have no pupils and only emit a faint light. Their waists are thin, their sternums and shoulders are wide, and they look quite tall and straight. Moreover, their legs have an anti-joint structure, with one more joint than humans. This allows them to even reach a height of 3 meters if they stand upright, but usually the 2nd and 3rd joints of their legs are folded. This structure also gives them terrible jumping ability. It is very easy for them to jump more than ten meters in place.

Protoss can obtain energy through photosynthesis, and their photosynthetic spectral range is much wider than that of ordinary plants, and they can even obtain energy from magnetic fields. The small amounts of water they need to survive can also be absorbed directly through their skin, allowing them to not even need to forage, and generally live for more than a thousand years.

But their most powerful thing is the nerve clusters that grow and extend from the crown bones on the top of their heads. Although many Protoss will braid these nerve clusters, in fact, the main function of this nerve cluster is - telepathy! They have no mouths because they don't need to eat or speak, and all communication between them relies on telepathy.

From this perspective, Protoss is really a perfect creature.

It is worth mentioning that in the development of society, Protoss has emerged as the Khala, which integrates the telepathy of all Protoss into one, and can share all thoughts with each other instantly. This made the society of Protoss once have a structure similar to that of Gestalt consciousness, but later this social structure collapsed during the war.

This is the plot of "StarCraft", so I won't go into details here.

The Protoss in front of him is nearly 2.6 meters tall and has a slim build. He is wearing a very gorgeous white robe and cloak, a hood with gold edges, a golden ring on his back, and a high crown on his head.

In short, as soon as I saw him dressed like this, Tang Xiao understood why this guy had been arranging his appearance for more than an hour.

Under the hood is a face with soft lines. Even by the standards of Protoss, he is quite a neutral person.

"Shelak Tribe (Shelak Tribe) leader, Zekrath (Zekrath), greets you, powerful and dark lord." Protoss's voice sounded in Tang Xiao's mind.

But he just nodded slightly, without much respect.

"Zekrath, a member of Twilight Council, the leader of the Shelak Tribe. I am very happy to see that you can accept my request and open your eyes. But what I am curious about is that you can see the power in me.? "Tang Xiao is a little interested, because even a top powerhouse like Count Dooku cannot detect his Dark Side Force. How does the Protoss in front of him know?

"I can see many things, including your nature the Dark Force, and I don't like your power. I believe if it was Fenix, he would have already drawn a knife on you. However, this is also the reason why you chose to invite me, isn't it?" Zekrath said in Tang Xiao's mind.

"In that case, why did you choose to accept the invitation?" Tang Xiao said with a slight smile.

"I saw the dream you weaved for us... This false dream cannot affect a Protoss, but..." Zekrath stretched out his slender fingers, and a starry sky appeared between his hands, "I saw the reality under that false appearance - survival."

He slowly came to the window, looked at the emerald green Dawn Star Planet outside, and the huge Star Ring orbiting the planet, and said, "Although the memory has been blurred, I have experienced the feeling of losing Homeworld and being homeless, so I can naturally understand the meaning of survival. This is also the meaning of the existence of Twilight Council... We put down our pride, just to fight against the destined doomsday; we no longer cling to the light, nor reject the darkness, twilight is our color, all this is just for... survival."

"It seems like you've thought of everything." Tang Xiao said.

"This is the end, but also the beginning. It is my unshirkable responsibility to rebuild Protoss's past glory... even if I cooperate with people like you." Zekrath said.

"You really can't speak, Zelax. It seems that Protoss's pride has penetrated into your soul. So, you are not afraid that I will kill you?" Tang Xiao smiled coldly, "I know that maybe you can tell other Protoss about your situation through telepathy, but it doesn't matter. At worst, I will let Protoss disappear completely."

His expression became serious, "Survival is also what I want. But if your existence Protoss makes me feel threatened by my survival, then I will do anything."
