Aiden Gu's Awakening Among the Zerg Chapter 2

It's impossible to wait for death on the spot, but I really don't want to run naked.

The conflicting thoughts caused Aiden Gu's actions to pause for a moment. At this moment, he had two strong thoughts in his mind---

1. Want to escape

2. Want clothes

Still maintaining the posture of sticking out only his head, Aiden Gu's hands were resting on the edge of the white shell where he had knocked a hole. Almost at the same moment when he had the need for clothes, something that he could not understand with common sense happened.

The white shell that he touched suddenly disappeared into a palm-sized piece, and at the same time, his body was covered with a simple piece of clothing.

---run!

The body reacted faster than the brain. Aiden Gu pushed hard with both hands and jumped out quickly, running at the fastest speed in his life towards the only open space where he could survive.

Just as Aiden Gu thought, as soon as he ran, the dangerous creatures that were originally slowly surrounding him suddenly started moving at high speed.

People of any race in the interstellar world would feel their scalp tingling when faced with the sight of a swarm of Zerg, because this is a charge that is not afraid of death.

Without any fear of death, Zerg soldiers following orders from their superiors will ignore any pain and annihilate the enemy with a cold and merciless attitude.

They don't even see their own death as a sacrifice, but simply as a natural tactic.

If you ask Aiden Gu how he feels when he is being chased by a group of Blake Tucker, he can only say...

He can hardly run anymore.

The light in this cave is very dim, and it is not easy for Aiden Gu, who has no night vision, to see the road ahead clearly.

Moreover, this cave was so huge that Aiden Gu was actually not sure whether he was running towards the exit or deeper inside, but he could not care less about that now.

Even if there is only a slight chance of survival, struggling is definitely better than not struggling.

However, the consequence of not being able to see the road clearly but having to run without slowing down is that Aiden Gu was running when he was accidentally tripped by an obstacle he hadn't noticed, and his right knee hit the ground.

"Hiss..." The blow was quite severe and Aiden Gu hissed reflexively.

This is a sound that represents pain. Even though the Blake Tucker chasing behind can understand it, they don't have much intelligence.

This understanding caused these Tak Zergs to almost instantly enter a state of frenzy that would only occur when they were seriously injured. They emitted low, hoarse roars from their throats that represented threats, and their contracted scarlet vertical pupils were filled with bloodthirstiness and killing intent.

The young man's voice expressing pain was a great stimulation to the Tak Zerg. They could not tolerate such a thing happening, but they could not find any enemies around that could become their target.

When Aiden Gu stopped running because he fell, the Blake Tucker that had been chasing him from behind had surrounded him again.

No chance...

The moment he was surrounded again, Aiden Gu had no choice but to accept his fate.

Without even the chance to stand up, Aiden Gu watched helplessly as the huge creature in the lead raised its dangerous forearm, which was like a serrated blade, towards him.

It was sharper than a real knife. As the blade swung down, Aiden Gu couldn't help but grit his teeth and close his eyes.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...?

The expected pain did not appear. Aiden Gu slowly opened his eyes and found that he was fine, but the obstacle that had caused him to trip was completely flattened.

The horrible creature that had completed the action had lowered its forearm again, and together with the others of its kind, continued to silently surround him.

Aiden Gu suddenly realized that these creatures did not want to attack him.

And when Aiden Gu's heartbeat slowed down because of this realization, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he gradually... seemed to be able to vaguely sense the emotions of the alien creatures around him.

Very angry, but this anger was not directed at him.

Combined with the fact that the obstacle that caused him to fall just now was flattened, Aiden Gu suddenly had an idea that stunned him for a moment.

They were so angry because he was injured.

Aiden Gu thought uncertainly, he didn't know why he thought so. In order to verify this, Aiden Gu lowered his head and made a slight sound similar to gasping.

This was like a signal. The already extremely angry Blake Tucker surrounding the young man were further enraged. They became restless from their suppressed and quiet state. The tips of their sharp forearms suddenly penetrated deeply into the ground, directly creating several holes in the hard rock surface.

Aiden Gu: ...

The reaction of these Blake Tucker directly verified Aiden Gu's guess. At this time, Aiden Gu finally understood that the behavior of these terrible creatures in front of him surrounding him was not to besiege him as prey, but to protect him...

This is a protective circle, they are just guarding him.

Aiden Gu didn't know the reason, but once he understood this, many of his perceptions had to change.

For example, when being stared at by dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes, Aiden Gu would try his best to think of how to escape at first, but now, he no longer felt much nervous.

Judging from their appearance, these alien creatures in front of Aiden Gu were indeed very dangerous and terrifying. Whether it was the sharp forearms that could dig deep into the ground or the sharp teeth, they were full of deadly threats.

But after making sure that he was protected by them, Aiden Gu stood up from the ground, took a deep breath, and tried to get closer to the tallest one among them.

The closer they got, the more clearly Aiden Gu sensed their rage. There was no longer any rationality in those scarlet eyes staring at him, but even so, they did not leave his side.

When Aiden Gu took the initiative to approach the leading Blake Tucker, he saw that this huge and dangerous creature moved its forearm slightly backwards and adjusted the angle, trying to avoid the sharp edge so that he would not be touched.

Aiden Gu was stunned for a moment. The feeling of being carefully protected was too obvious. Even the word "protection" was not accurate enough. The word "care" should be used instead...

This feeling of being cared for was rarely seen in Aiden Gu's life experience so far. After all, he grew up in an orphanage.

Although most of the caregivers in welfare homes are caring people, there are many children in need of care in welfare homes, and the amount of care each child can receive is limited.

And this kind of care is different from the love that parents really have for their children.

Aiden Gu was very smart and precocious, so he was able to tell the difference early in his childhood. But he was not disappointed, because he felt that the kindness and concern he received was equally valuable and worth being grateful for.

Blinking his eyes and coming back to his senses, Aiden Gu looked at the dangerous creatures in front of him that were clearly showing a protective attitude towards him, and began to think about something.

What can be done to calm their anger?

He could indeed sense the emotions of these creatures, as if it was an innate ability, and when he accidentally fell and was stimulated by the pain just now, Aiden Gu had some kind of illusion for a moment.

This illusion was that Aiden Gu felt as if he had established some kind of spiritual connection with them, and he could directly convey his consciousness to these creatures.

I'm fine, don't be angry...?

Not sure if it would work, Aiden Gu decided to give it a try anyway. He tried hard to recall the situation at that time and tried to appease these large creatures around him.

Being used to looking into the other person's eyes during a conversation, Aiden Gu now raised his head with great effort, and finally managed to look into the scarlet eyes of the leading Blake Tucker despite the size difference.

These Tak Zergs in front of Aiden Gu are just soldiers of the lowest ability level among the Zerg. Low-level Zergs cannot advance into humanoid form. They neither have very high intelligence nor language ability.

But even though they couldn't answer with words, these Blake Tucker still responded.

The pupils that had been shrunk into needle-like shapes relaxed slightly, and these huge and terrifying creatures lowered their heads to the young man, and their sharp forearms also dropped down, as if they had finally left the combat state.

But he still didn't completely relax. Aiden Gu thought about it, then he reached out and patted the sharp forearm of the Blake Tucker in front of him: "Be good, don't be angry anymore."

This sentence was not conveyed through a mental link, but the Blake Tucker seemed to understand what Aiden Gu meant. When the young man patted its forearm, the Blake Tucker let out a low hissing sound from its throat, and then continued to lower its head and remained motionless.

This is undoubtedly a gesture of submissiveness. If there is a third person present at this time, people of all races in the interstellar space will doubt their own eyes.

The Zerg is synonymous with cruelty and brutality in the entire interstellar space, not to mention the most ferocious and violent Zerg.

It can be said that on the battlefield, the Zerg army is the enemy that all races are most reluctant to face, and among them, the Zerg soldiers from the Tak tribe are the worst.

These Tak Zergs can go berserk on the battlefield, and once they enter the berserk state, they will not stop. Unless they completely lose their combat capability or the enemy is completely wiped out, as long as one part of their body can move, these Tak Zergs will continue to fight.

It is impossible to pacify the Blake Tucker in a violent state, but the only exception occurred on a remote planet.

Not long after completing this series of soothing actions, due to the mental energy consumption just now, Aiden Gu soon felt a sense of drowsiness that went straight to the depths of his consciousness. The strong sleepiness invaded him and made him want to close his eyes and sleep in a daze, and finally he fell asleep on the ground.

As soon as Aiden Gu fell asleep, the Tak Zerg guarding around him seemed to be attracted and instinctively moved closer to him.

The young man fell asleep.

Aiden Gu's sleeping appearance was reflected in each pair of scarlet eyes. These Tak Zergs, which did not have humanoid form, approached and observed the young man's sleeping appearance very seriously and attentively, and were reluctant to look away.

It is normal for pups to like sleeping.

Although Aiden Gu looked like an adult, in the eyes of the Blake Tucker who witnessed his birth, the black-haired young man in front of them had just been born and was still a cub.

After staring at him for a few seconds, the Tak Zerg subconsciously didn't want to let the young man lie on the hard and cold ground like that, so they moved the sleeping young man back into the eggshell.

The eggshell was not completely destroyed, only a piece of the top was removed, so that the young man could lie inside and still take advantage of the eggshell's special warming effect.

"Huh..." Aiden Gu made some sounds in his sleep while sleeping in the big eggshell.

The sounds made by the cubs while sleeping probably mean that they are sleeping restlessly. After hearing the young man's mumbling in his sleep, several Blake Tucker surrounding the eggshell couldn't help but let out a low hiss from their throats.

These Blake Tucker do not know how to take care of their young. Strictly speaking, there is no concept of taking care of young among the Zerg.

Perhaps it was a kind of intuition and instinct, a Blake Tucker stretched out its forearm towards the large white egg lying quietly, controlled the strength, and carefully pushed the eggshell lightly.

The eggshell shook slightly.

Push it again...

The eggshell shook again.

As if he was in a cradle, the young man, who had been sleeping uneasy in the eggshell, gradually relaxed his brows and his breathing became shallow and slow.

From the sound of his breathing, it can be known that the young man is now sleeping more comfortably, so the Blake Tucker that uses the eggshell as a cradle continues to push and shake the eggshell at this frequency.

As they stared at the young man sleeping peacefully, the group of Tak Zerg once again felt an emotion that was very unfamiliar to them.

This emotion first appeared when they discovered the large white egg in a cave on this distant planet.

The second time they appear is when they watch the young hatching from their shells.

This emotion is as high as anger, but it is completely different. Anger will arouse their destructive desire, but this equally high but unfamiliar emotion will not do that.

Not only do they not want to destroy anything, but they seem to like everything more.

Like flowers blooming in the dry wilderness, tiny and cute flowers dotted the originally cold and desolate fields, and the canvas called "the world" became colorful.

This is the emotion called joy.
