Making Contact

The Negative Energy Blade of the Wolf Striker can no longer be described as sharp. The energy wrapped around it can neutralize any Positive Energy, just like an eraser, wiping away traces of a substance's existence.

The location of the control pod had already been clearly marked using information from the Scout Bug. Based on the location, the Wolf Striker could simply insert itself into the empty metal floor and eliminate the small creature hiding underneath.

Unfortunately, because it wasn't a visual operation and the weapon was too sharp, the attack was slightly flawed. Although the target was doomed, he was able to make some noise before he died.

However, these flaws are still within a tolerable range.

Z Squad reacted quickly. When the second member screamed, they realized they had been exposed for some reason, and the enemy was definitely prepared.

The alloy floor cracked open, and the control cabin prepared to rise. The control cabin that had previously protected them now became a barrier restricting them, and they had to get out as soon as possible.

However, the Wolf Striker is faster, and the presence of the control pod, without the obstruction of the upper alloy floor, has improved its accuracy several times over.

With the claws piercing through, the high-strength alloy body of the control cabin offered no protection whatsoever, and along with a part of the body of the Z Squad member inside, it was wiped out.

Due to its design, the control pod makes it very easy to identify the head and feet positions, which means that once the control pod is raised, the squad members who are killed will never have a chance to scream again.

The humanoid body structure of the Wolf Striker gives it extremely agile and nimble movements, and with the intentional enhancement of some muscle tissues, its speed is very fast.

By the time the control module rose from the ground and opened its hatch, no surviving team members were able to get up.

In fact, it wasn't just this one group of Z Squad members who fantasized about becoming heroes or controlling their own destiny. There were many such cases among the Komok; they didn't arrive at the designated location at the appointed time, but instead cleverly hid themselves.

Unfortunately, after such a long delay, the Zerg's reconnaissance system had been perfected, and their location had long been silently marked by the Scout Bug Zerg.

When the time came, a large number of Zerg units split up and moved out. Most of the Komok's hiding places were not particularly difficult to reach, and they were easily found by the Spider War-Bug, who taught them a profound lesson. As for whether they could learn from this lesson, only time will tell.

As for those Z Squad members who were hiding in very well concealed and secure locations, which the Spider War-Bug alone could not destroy quickly, the only option would be for the Wolf Striker to work harder.

Fortunately, each warship had at least one fully equipped Wolf Striker. Although it was a bit slow, the Zerg had already taken control of the various passages inside the warships, and after a little time, the Wolf Striker finished its work.

The Zerg's actions silenced the Komok personnel in the bridge command hall. Some captains who had previously been hesitant to confront the Zerg and try to gain some leverage against Zerg retreated back into their positions.

Such incidents not only occur among the Komok, but are also quite common among other ethnic groups. They may not have Z Squad, but they do have J Squad, L Squad, and similar teams. Those who control a certain amount of force are always bolder, and they are the main force being eliminated.

Rowan showed no mercy to these outsiders. These soldiers, who only focused on operating certain specialized machines, were of no value to the Zerg and there was absolutely no need to convert them into Intellect.

As for the small number of researchers, the more the merrier. They were all taken deep into the warship for modification. Of course, they would never appear before their former people again.

All the surviving alien races reached their designated positions. Then, two downgraded Wolf Striker communicated and directed the alien races to maneuver their warships to the designated locations.

The group of people who had gathered together were dispersed. They were allowed to move around within a certain area, and were not subject to many restrictions except for not doing anything dangerous or likely to cause misunderstandings.

The halted fleet slowly began to move towards its designated position, but at a very slow pace. This was because the foreign forces had been in a hurry to escape, and their warships had become entangled with each other. It would take considerable time for them to regroup and form a proper formation.

Fortunately, the Zerg were not in a hurry, because Zerg also needed time. Deep inside the warship, at the location of the Dark Energy reactor, dozens of compartments around it had been tightly sealed off, prohibiting the prisoners from approaching; any violators would be eliminated without hesitation.

Here, several Insect Empress Eggs have hatched, and they are growing rapidly by absorbing the energy fed back from the Creep. However, their size changes slowly, far less quickly than the Mature Form Insect Empress next to them.

This is because, unlike the mutant Insect Empress, these Insect Empress are the normal version. Although they develop much more slowly, they do not have a lifespan limit.

The mutated Insect Empress has completed her mission. Although she is still some time away from genetic collapse, she is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Therefore, a successor Insect Empress is needed.

Similarly, the Zerg units currently possessing combat capabilities on the warships are all mutants. Their time is limited, and they will all be gradually replaced by newly born normal versions of their kind in the future.

This process also takes time, so letting the foreign tribes dawdle there means they have something to do and won't cause trouble elsewhere.

The replacement of Zerg units is a gradual process, and their combat strength will not be weakened beforehand; annihilating the alien race is just a matter of minutes.

Therefore, Rowan wasn't afraid of these guys rebelling, but rather that they had other uses and he didn't want them to waste too much time and energy on foolish actions.

However, as time went by, the Zerg's free-range management and the somewhat comfortable life of captives inevitably led some outsiders to develop some inappropriate ideas.

The information channels of those warships cannot be completely blocked. The Epoch Clan and the Alliance's foreign races will definitely be watching this place through various means. And some of the captured foreign races are also trying to contact the Alliance.

The Wolf Striker is merely a biological unit and is not suited to displaying excessive intelligence and autonomy. Therefore, a "real" Zerg is needed to make contact with other races.

Thus, a force of one hundred Ancient Class Zerg set off from the direction of Zerg Star System No. 1 and was rapidly approaching the Alliance fleet.
