How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 169: Eve

   In the dark night, a gatherer diverged from the rhizome, but it did not do anything, but stood still on the huge rhizome that looked like the ground, staring upward at the night.

   Without the pollution of the fire of civilization, the night sky looks particularly bright. The stars cover the entire sky, dotted all over the sky. This is a beauty that is hard to see in the big cities on the earth.

  【Huo Gu, what are you looking at? 】

  The collectors are basically arranged by Huogu to hide in the refuge constructed by Ming. This collector is simply hosting Huogu's organic organisms.

   "Look at the stars."

   [...I remember the visual ability of the collector is not outstanding, right? Wouldn't it be better to use other organisms for observing celestial bodies? 】

  The observing function of the collector is not strong. After all, the original intention of the manufacturing is to be only ‘labour’ in terms of positioning, and the strength is only endurance.

   If you want to observe the movement of celestial bodies, you can use organisms that specifically receive electromagnetic waves for observation. The efficiency of using collectors to observe is extremely low in Min's view.

   So Min felt very strange about it.

   "I don't want to get information, I just want to see more."

  The collectors of Huogu Homestay's condensed starry sky showed a hint of unclear color.

   "I don't look much now, I won't see it in the future."

  【? ? ? 】

【What happened? 】

  【Aliens probably haven't discovered our plan yet. 】

   "No, don't be nervous, it's not a problem with aliens, I'm talking about other things."

   "Speaking of aliens, we will have a fight with their fleet in a few days."

   Huo Gu mentioned this, and he felt a strange wave of fluctuations in Min's thinking.

   "Min, are you nervous?"

   This strange fluctuating mood, Huo Gu interpreted this way.

   [This...In your words, Huo Gu, it is-I always feel a little unsure in my heart. 】

   Afraid of failure, I don't want to fail-this is Min's idea.

The situation of   暝 Huogu is not incomprehensible. This is the first time that it has acted as the leader of the plan. It used to be either alone or in cooperation. This is the first time in its life that it has been pushed to the center as the leader.

   "Unfortunately, accidents are more likely to occur."

   "Don't have any burdens, if there is an accident, I will help you remedy it."

  【Well, I see. 】

   I learned about Huogu’s information, although it still has an emotional impact, but compared to before, it has been calmer. The analogy is equivalent to the difference between a squally wind and a huge wave and an ordinary ocean tide.

  暝 remembered the purpose of looking for Huogu.

   [By the way, Huo Gu, do you have that kind of... uh, distant target? 】

   [No, no, no, it doesn’t seem to be called that...]

   [How to say...]

  暝's expression is very messy. Although there is a life field that can ignore communication barriers, if the meaning of the expression is ambiguous at the beginning, even the life field will appear very weak.

   Huogu summarized the fragmentary information expressed by Min, and asked tentatively.

   "Are you trying to say'great ambition'?"

  【Yes, this is it. 】

   "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

  【Before, Si obtained a lot of knowledge and information from aliens. When helping to organize it, I saw some records of events from aliens. 】

  暝's message successfully aroused Huogu's interest.

   "Event log? Tell me about it."

[In the early days when alien civilization was still developing, there existed certain large creatures with the ability to crush individual aliens far. They could go to the sky and enter the underground sea, and their mouths could use a variety of chemical attacks, and they liked to capture the status of alien civilizations. Very high female individuals, imprisoned them in their nests. 】

   "For food?"

【……seems not. 】

[In short, after the alien colony was attacked by this creature, the spouse of the female alien began to embark on a journey to rescue the abducted female. After experiencing various encounters, strength will be gained through the interaction of experience and multiple factors. Strengthen, finally defeat or kill the large creatures, and rescue the imprisoned female...]

  【...After the return, he became the person with the highest rights and status in civilization. 】

   Why do I always think this alien’s "event record" is so familiar? ——Huogu felt a bit inexplicable, but he still thought about it carefully.

   "So what does this have to do with ‘big ambition’?"

   Huo Gu thought about it for a long time, but didn't figure out what this ambition had to do with it.

   [Don’t you think that male alien, daring to challenge an enemy whose power is far from his own, is a great thing in itself? He knew he couldn't win, but he still chose to challenge, because he set himself a goal that was almost impossible to cross. 】

When    described it, Min's emotions were a bit agitated. It seemed that this record of the incident made him feel very excited.

   However, Huo Gu didn't feel it.

"That's'heroic' plus'opportunity'. This is still a better name. The unpleasant point is'impulse' plus'luck'. The final result is'accident', it is a problem of probability, and has nothing to do with'inevitability'. "

   "And I think this still doesn't seem to have anything to do with'big ambitions', right?"

   Huo Gu still didn’t understand. Why would Min think of ‘Loud Aspirations’ because of that--because of the different thinking patterns ~lightnovelpub.net~ so the understanding is also different?

   Probably the radio wave couldn't match up, Min gave up the explanation, and forcibly turned the topic back to the previous question.

   [So, Huo Gu, what is your lofty ambition? 】

   [You must be so good, right? Tell me. 】

  暝 is looking forward to it. Huo Gu can feel his emotions. It seems to be certain that Huo Gu has such a thing. At first, it was not whether Huo Gu had it, but what Huo Gu’s ‘big ambition’ was.

   The hospitality is hard to refrain, and Huo Gu is not good at rejecting it. He thought for a while and answered.

   "Well, I actually have lofty ambitions."

   "That is-live forever."

【this one? 】

The feeling of   暝 if described vividly is probably equivalent to a basin of cold water suddenly extinguishing the flame.

   "Well, this is it. The longer I live, the more scenery I can see. Maybe I will be able to touch these in person in the future, instead of just looking at it as I am now. I can't bear to give up this kind of opportunity."

   Huogu took it for granted, that was its original goal, and it was this from beginning to end.

   [But this is too...]

"Small?"

【Is not it? 】

   As the collector of the Huogu boarding body, he shook his head slightly, and the slight movements of human thought acted on this organism.

   "You think so, but you don't see enough things."

   Huogu refocused his attention on the starry sky above his head. Compared with the vast night sky, the collectors under the sky of stars were as small as dust.

   "One day you will find that even if you just want to live..."

   "...It's that hard too."
