Aiden Gu's Awakening Among the Zerg Chapter 3

The deep sleepiness made Aiden Gu sleep very deeply, and the eggshell was gently pushed and shaken regularly. The last bit of willpower in Aiden Gu's subconscious mind to struggle to wake up was wiped out, and he fell into a deep sleep comfortably.

It was also during this dream that Aiden Gu passively received a huge amount of information. Without the opportunity to refuse, all this information rushed into his brain.

After Aiden Gu finally sorted out this information, or inherited memory, he finally had a more intuitive understanding of this world and his current situation.

The world he traveled to was set in an interstellar future. In this world, in addition to humans, there were various alien races.

When the entire interstellar system was still in the old era, wars between different races were frequent, and scenes of invasion and being invaded were played out almost every day on different planets.

It was not until the establishment of the Star Alliance in the new era that the interstellar space gradually entered an era of peace. Many races began to send friendly signals and establish diplomacy, and relations became increasingly harmonious through trade exchanges.

There is only one race that is an exception, and it still has no allies even in the new era.

It would be fine if there were no allies, but there were also many enemies, especially with humans, who had been fighting from the old era to the new era. The relationship was so bad that it could only be described as mortal enemies. This race was the Zerg, and it was also the race to which Aiden Gu belonged now.

The Zerg has a very distinct label in the eyes of other interstellar races.

Brutal, dangerous, and not to be trifled with.

In the old era, the Zerg were the most terrifying invaders. Every Zerg was a born excellent soldier. They were not afraid of death, and their lack of emotion made them merciless when treating their enemies.

Moreover, the Zerg troops have far better execution capabilities than other races. They obey orders from their superiors absolutely and never question or ask questions. This makes the Zerg army extremely terrifying.

It took Aiden Gu a while to accept the fact that he was no longer a human being after traveling through time, but this was not the most difficult thing for him.

The most difficult thing for him to digest was that his current identity seemed to be... the newly born king of the Zerg.

The Zerg society has a very obvious class structure, like a pyramid, and the Zerg at the lower level will not have any dissatisfaction, they will unconditionally submit to their superiors.

This is determined by the nature and instinct of the Zerg, and is sometimes very difficult to understand in the eyes of other races.

And Aiden Gu is now at the top of this pyramid.

I don’t know how long I slept before I woke up. When I woke up and opened my eyes again, Aiden Gu found himself lying back in the closed space where he was at the beginning. He couldn’t help but be stunned for a second.

The difference from before was that the place where he was lying was somehow swaying slightly left and right in a regular pattern, and he could feel the swaying very clearly while lying inside.

Okay, this isn't just a dream.

Practice makes perfect. This time, there was no need to waste energy on cracking the shell. Aiden Gu sat up quite skillfully and poked his head out of the hole above.

This time when he leaned forward, Aiden Gu was met with dozens of pairs of scarlet vertical pupils as expected, and he understood the reason for the shaking.

In front of him, a huge Blake Tucker was gently pushing the eggshell with its forearm - yes, an eggshell.

The light in the cave was slightly brighter than before. In this environment, Aiden Gu finally saw clearly that he was in the interior of a large white egg.

Aiden Gu still remembered that at the beginning he had a very imaginative idea that he was in an egg, but he never expected that this wild fantasy would become a reality.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Aiden Gu felt that when he poked his head out of the eggshell, the scarlet eyes of the group of Tak Zerg guarding him outside seemed to light up in an instant, and they stared at him as seriously as possible.

The cub poked its head out of the eggshell to observe the outside world. The Blake Tucker who watched the process all had the same psychological feeling - cute.

This word does not exist among the Zerg, and it is difficult for the lower Zerg who do not possess much intelligence to understand the meaning of this word, but these Blake Tucker clearly felt this touch in their extremely scarce emotions.

At the same time that Aiden Gu poked his head out of the eggshell, the eggshell stopped shaking.

The cub is awake = no need to coax it to sleep = no need to push the eggshell

This realization caused the Blake Tucker, who had waited in line for the opportunity to push the eggshell, to shrink its pupils slightly, and a low, meaningless sound continued to come from its throat.

After Aiden Gu fell asleep in the eggshell, originally the eggshell was only pushed by the Blake Tucker that tried it at the beginning. But later, other Zergs in the cave watched and wanted to push it too.

They all wanted to coax the young man to sleep, but there was only one eggshell. After a brief and simple communication, these Blake Tucker came up with a method of "taking turns in line".

Each worm had to be replaced after pushing 600 times. By the time Aiden Gu woke up, these Blake Tucker in front of him had actually taken turns several times.

The Tak Zerg in front of Aiden Gu had just pushed more than two hundred times. When Aiden Gu showed that he wanted to get out of the eggshell, the Tak Zerg did not stop him, but lowered its head slightly while making a low sound in its throat.

This caused Aiden Gu's action of jumping out of the eggshell to stop abruptly when he was halfway through.

Although there was no language or conversation, Aiden Gu discovered from the performance of this Tak Zerg and the emotions he perceived that the Tak Zerg in front of him seemed to want to continue pushing the eggshell.

Did these Zerg treat him as a cub that needed to be coaxed to sleep...

This realization made Aiden Gu silent for a few seconds, but this was an obvious expression of love and care, and it was so simple and direct that Aiden Gu could not ignore it.

Otherwise...let him lie down for a while.

Thinking of this, Aiden Gu slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking a little sleepy, and then shrank back into the huge eggshell under the watchful eyes of this group of Tak Zerg.

Because his vision was blocked, Aiden Gu did not see that when he lay back inside the eggshell, a light immediately appeared in the scarlet eyes of the Tak Zerg standing in front of the eggshell. The Tak Zerg almost immediately raised its forearm and gently pushed and shook the eggshell in front of it.

Although he did not see this scene, Aiden Gu, who was lying in the eggshell, clearly sensed an emotion of happiness from this Tak Zerg.

If this makes them happy, there's nothing wrong with that...

Aiden Guan lay quietly in the eggshell for a while. When the eggshell stopped shaking, he finally got up and got out of the big white egg.

As soon as Aiden Gu came out of the eggshell, he immediately sensed a sense of tension from the surrounding Tak Zergs, especially when he took a step forward, these Tak Zergs suddenly stared at the ground with their vertical pupils constricted.

Aiden Gu: ...

This is probably because they are afraid that he will fall again.

After some discussion, Aiden Gu was able to understand the psychological activities of these Tak Zerg.

After being speechless for a moment, Aiden Gu lowered his eyes helplessly and said soothingly: "I won't fall again, you don't have to worry."

Can't understand.

Due to their lack of intelligence, they found it difficult to understand the language, but when these Tak Zergs saw Aiden Gu bending his eyes, they all made low hisses of joy.

The young man's expression represents happiness and joy. If their king is willing to smile, they will also feel very happy.

To be honest, Aiden Gu has no idea what to do after traveling to another world and becoming the new king of an alien race.

If we only focus on the present, all Aiden Gu has to consider now is how to live with these Tak Zergs who are guarding him.

The first thing that needs to be solved seems to be the food problem---

His stomach suddenly growled in protest, and the sound was quite clear in the silent cave. After hearing the sound, Aiden Gu belatedly realized that he was hungry.

Without waiting for Aiden Gu to make any move, several Blake Tucker had already begun to pile various... probably fruit-like things in front of him.

These fruits were food that the group of Tak Zerg had prepared a long time ago. Although they didn't know when the cubs nurtured in the big white eggs would be willing to be born, these Tak Zerg had been preparing a lot of food in this cave with anticipation.

After the cubs are born, they can eat these fruits as supplementary food while eating eggshells.

If the stored food goes bad because it has been there for too long, they will go out and look for new food.

The alternation of day and night means nothing to these Tak Zergs. They just wait quietly. As long as they think that the king will be willing to break out of the shell and be born one day, this long wait is filled with joy.

Aiden Gu picked up a fruit from the ground. The fruit looked a bit strange, about the size of a coconut, with a layer of black and very hard shell on the outside, and protruding triangular thorns like those of a durian.

Aiden Gu tried to pry the thorns on the fruit with his hands, but found that he couldn't pry them apart, so he simply knocked the fruit hard on the ground several times like he was knocking an egg, trying to knock a crack into the shell.

However, after all this busy work, Aiden Gu silently discovered that the fruit in his hand did not move at all.

Awkward...

Having failed to rely on himself, Aiden Gu looked at the Tak Zergs around him who were staring at him. He walked up to the Tak Zerg closest to him and stood still. After hesitating for a moment, he finally raised the fruit to the other party.

The cub couldn't bite the fruit, and the Blake Tucker in the cave suddenly understood this from the actions of the young man in front of them.

This must be because the fruit is too hard, the group of Zerg immediately made a judgment.

Although the Zerg cubs are quite aggressive compared to other races, and even their teeth can penetrate steel if they bite hard, the young man in front of them is very weak.

Just falling down would also cause injuries. The skin of the young man in front of them did not have the extremely high defensive power like that of the higher-level Zerg. In any aspect, he was completely unsuitable for fighting.

Aiden Gu didn't have to wait long. The Blake Tucker in front of him quickly used the tip of its forearm to smooth out a few thorns on the fruit in his hand and made a hole. It then seemed to be waiting to see him start eating.

Holding a fruit with a hole in it, Aiden Gu could easily feel the expectant gazes of the group of Zerg in front of him.

Aiden Gu couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he was watched by everyone even when he was eating. However, facing the happy and expectant looks of these Blake Tucker, he immediately gave up and thought, forget it, just watch it, it won't cost him a bit of meat anyway.

This strange fruit is like a coconut, you can make a hole in it to drink the juice inside. Aiden Gu held it in his hand and took a few sips. The sweet juice moistened his mouth and slightly relieved his hunger.

At this time, Aiden Gu's sight just moved to the eggshell not far away, and then something happened that made Aiden Gu's eyelids jump. He looked at the huge white eggshell and suddenly felt an appetite - was he so hungry that he didn't care what he ate? ?

Eggshells are the best nutritious food for newly born Zerg cubs. The inherited memory that Aiden Gu received did not include this detailed information, but his racial instinct indirectly told him.

Aiden Gu could not resist the strong appetite generated by his instinct. He stood there and stared at the eggshell for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but walk closer and break off a small piece of white eggshell from the place where he had broken it before.

After breaking it, Aiden Gu hesitated for less than a second and tried to put the eggshell into his mouth and took a bite.

"Crack."

Milky flavor and crispy texture.

After eating only a small piece, Aiden Gu soon felt full, and a warm feeling spread all over his body, which was very comfortable.

It is not enough to just eat by yourself. After Aiden Gu finished eating the eggshell, he picked up a few fruits from the ground, stood on tiptoe and raised them high to hand them to the Blake Tucker who were staring at him.

Thinking that the young man still wanted to drink the juice of the fruit, several Blake Tucker thinking in this way quickly made another hole in the hard fruit in the young man's hand.

"I don't want it, it's for you to eat." Aiden Gu explained in a gentle voice. He continued to hold the fruit high, his eyes meeting the scarlet vertical pupils of the Zerg in front of him.

Hearing what Aiden Gu said, the Tak Zerg in front of Aiden Gu tilted its head. After finally understanding that the young man wanted to hand the fruit to him, the Tak Zerg carefully raised its forearm and clamped the fruit with its extended forearm.

This really requires very careful control of the force so as not to crush the fruit directly.

To be honest, the size of this fruit is probably just enough to fill the teeth of the huge Blake Tucker. It can be simply thrown into the mouth and chewed a few times and it's gone.

But the Tak Zerg that got the fruit did not put the fruit into its mouth full of sharp teeth. Instead, it stared at the fruit with its scarlet eyes for a long time, and then hid the fruit very carefully in a hidden place in the cave.

It was reluctant to eat it because it was a gift from Aiden Gu.

Aiden Gu watched the whole process in a daze. When he found that he was being stared at with expectant eyes by other Blake Tucker who had not yet received the fruit, Aiden Gu said that he was not sure what the touching feeling in his heart was.

He probably just felt very warm and hoped that these Zergs who were kind to him would be happy.

This bowl of water still needs to be balanced. In the end, Aiden Gu handed a fruit to each insect, which was what he had originally intended to do.

The Blake Tucker that received their respective gifts carefully hid the gifts. Although they were just fruits, the ones given to them by the young man were all different.

The more they looked at the black-haired young man in front of them, the more the group of Tak Zerg in the cave understood the meaning of "protection".

Their world, this world wrapped in the black universe, is too cruel for the cubs.

The young man in front of them was very weak and not suitable for fighting, but it didn't matter.

---The king should be protected.

Although the living conditions are not very good, it is pretty good to be able to live with these Blake Tucker, Aiden Gu thought optimistically.

Aiden Gu, who was born less than a day ago on this remote abandoned planet and is living with a group of Blake Tucker, has no idea what kind of turmoil has occurred in the entire Zerg race in other star regions outside this planet because of the mental link he unconsciously sent out when he fell.
