The sound transmitted into the consciousness was very gentle, like a dream talk.
This mental link is still ongoing, but the owner of the voice is no longer speaking.
His ears still instinctively captured all the sounds in the surrounding environment, but these sounds that usually made Cedric impatient and irritated seemed to suddenly disappear at this moment. All he could hear was the shallow breathing sound in his consciousness.
This was not the first time that Cedric had heard this voice. Like other Zerg, he had also received that extremely brief mental connection two days ago.
At that time, he was in the middle of a battle and was in a high state of bellicosity.
Unlike other Zerg, Cedric did not feel any desire to submit because of this mental link.
Perhaps because he was a class A Zerg, or perhaps because he was originally an outlier among the Zerg, he was only aroused by this mental link and felt irritated.
He didn't understand why, but this kind of irritability couldn't even be vented by fighting, and it was so sharp that it almost forced him to the point where he wanted to simply abandon his reason.
But now, hearing the voice a second time, he was comforted.
It was difficult to understand the reason for the difference between the two times. The breathing sound he heard made Cedric unconsciously swing his silver tail at this moment, and the aura around him that was originally described as cold and terrifying turned into ordinary coldness.
This means the all-clear.
Dorian, who was hiding a few hundred meters away and watching his leader vent his anger during the fight, soon discovered this and ran over without saying a word.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Suppressing the hesitation in his heart, Dorian asked the silver-haired Zerg in front of him with a normal expression.
Cedric's expression was very cold, and he did not answer immediately. In his silence, Dorian said, "I have something to report to you. Some soldiers in our army left alone, and I did not stop them..."
It wasn't that it wasn't stopped, it wasn't that it couldn't be stopped.
In Dorian's heart, although he suppressed his hesitation and did not leave to look for the king, he hoped that other Zerg could find him.
He hoped that the precious thing he had not seen could be protected, so Dorian ignored the Zerg who should have been considered traitors.
Restraining their hesitation was already their limit. Not only Dorian, but the other Zerg in the fleet who watched their colleagues leave were also influenced by the same selfishness, so they pretended to be blind and ignored this betrayal.
Even if there is only one person, even if there is only one person who can find the king, please hurry up and protect the king...
"Why don't you and the others leave?" Cedric asked expressionlessly without saying anything to the betrayer.
"If you want to leave, Yura should go with you." Cedric' tone was cold, and it was precisely because of this that it was even more difficult to discern his emotions.
Yura refers to the biological warships exclusive to the Zerg.
Like the Tak Zerg, the Yura is also one of the Zerg tribes, and it is a tribe that specializes in providing assistance to the Zerg in transportation, air combat and other aspects.
There is a clear difference between the Zerg's warships and those of other races. The Zerg's warships are life forms with self-awareness. In the eyes of other races, they are cosmic monsters that can change their forms at will.
"Isn't it because I thought that I couldn't betray you so easily... We couldn't go looking for him without your order." Dorian said angrily, "But I don't know what Yura is thinking. The worst result is that Yura would abandon us and run away without saying a word."
This is really possible. If a warship with self-awareness wants to leave, it can leave the current planet with a single jump. However, the advanced Zerg without a vehicle cannot run into outer space on their own.
As far as Dorian was concerned, their Yura battleship might be on the verge of losing its temper.
"Let's go." Cedric stopped looking at him and walked towards the warship.
Where are you going?
Dorian did not ask the question right away. Instead, he observed the indifferent expression of the silver-haired Zerg in front of him and somehow came to a conclusion that surprised him.
"You mean... going to find the king?!" Although he tried very hard to restrain himself, Dorian still couldn't hide the joy in his tone.
Cedric did not deny it, which meant he agreed. So when the high-level Zerg who received the news returned to the battleship, they were all overjoyed.
The Zerg's racial nature is a lack of emotion, which determines that it is difficult for them to have strong emotions. Such joy from the heart is something they have never experienced before.
Take humans for example. They smile when they are happy and cry when they are sad, but both emotions and expressions are too unfamiliar to the Zerg.
To the extent that, although the higher-level Zerg on the battleship are clearly very happy, they don't know what expression to use to convey this emotion.
This group of high-level Zergs were discussing with stern faces---
"If I meet the king, what gift should I give him?"
"I wonder what kind of gift the king would like..."
"Will the King be pleased to see us?"
The more they discussed, the brighter the eyes of this group of high-level Zerg became. Dorian resisted the urge to join the discussion, stood next to their leader and said, "The spiritual link the king gave us was too short, so there is no way to determine the exact location. Which planet do you think we should start from?"
"He's here." Calling out the virtual star map, Cedric pointed directly to a very remote star region on the navigation map that recorded countless planets.
Dorian was stunned. With just such a brief mental connection, there was no way to determine the location. Their leader could know the location so accurately, which meant...
"The king... the king called you?" Dorian couldn't help but ask.
call?
Cedric listened quietly to the breathing sound in his consciousness, a sound that quieted his world. Unable to figure out what attitude he wanted to take towards it, he responded without emotion.
Hearing the response, Dorian calmed down immediately.
It is much easier to search with a range than without a range. It’s just a star field. It won’t take much time for them to search all the planets in this star field.
But even though the Yura battleship had already reached its highest sailing speed and the maximum number of jumps in its excited state, it still took them three days to arrive at this overly remote star region.
On the day when this group of advanced Zerg landed on the abandoned planet, Aiden Guzheng and the Blake Tucker went to the grove that he had not explored before, holding an umbrella.
In the past few days, Aiden Gu has used his abilities to create enough umbrellas and taught these Blake Tucker how to use umbrellas.
"Raise it above your head like this, so that you won't get wet by the rain." Aiden Gu demonstrated with an umbrella, carefully showing these Blake Tucker the correct way to hold an umbrella.
After the demonstration, Aiden Gu raised the umbrella in his hand and handed it to the Blake Tucker in front of him, looking up at the other party.
The Blake Tucker clamped the umbrella handle with the extension of its forearm. It stared at the umbrella with its scarlet eyes for a while, then tilted its head and raised the umbrella above Aiden Gu's head.
Aiden Gu never expected this result. He scratched his cheek helplessly, looked into the scarlet vertical pupils of the Blake Tucker, and said patiently: "It is necessary to raise it above your own head."
Just saying no, Aiden Gu pushed the umbrella that was held above his head and pushed it all the way towards the Blake Tucker who was holding the umbrella for him.
When the umbrella finally reached the right position, Aiden Gu lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, hold it like this."
Although there is nothing to entertain on the barren planet, this does not prevent Aiden Gu from entertaining himself. Exploring new places is also quite interesting in Aiden Gu's eyes.
It was drizzling under the gray-blue sky again. Aiden Gu sat on the shoulders of a Tak Zerg and was carried to the grove. With an umbrella, the Tak Zergs around Aiden Gu no longer had to use their bodies to shield him from the rain.
With his feet on the ground, Aiden Gu walked with an umbrella to the place he had wanted to go a few days ago.
It was on the edge of a huge stone. In the gap between the stone and the ground, a small pure white flower grew.
At this moment, a huge Yura battleship had just landed on this planet.
After landing on this abandoned planet, more than a hundred high-level Zergs who got off the Jura battleship fell silent because of the desolate scenery they saw before them.
Could the king have been born on this planet...
The sky has turned gray-blue due to severe pollution, with sand and stones flying everywhere. In places covered by dust, you can vaguely see some abandoned buildings that were buried after being destroyed and collapsed.
This is a common look for abandoned planets.
In the interstellar age, because there are many habitable planets, many resource planets are treated as disposable items. The occupants consume the planet's resources without limit until the planet's usable value is completely exhausted, and the planet becomes an abandoned planet.
The environment of abandoned planets is very harsh, so harsh that even people of some races cannot set foot on them without wearing protective clothing, let alone live on such planets.
According to records, this planet should have been an abandoned planet more than a hundred years ago.
On what planet will the king be born?
Before arriving in this star field, the advanced Zerg that came to search for it always spared no effort in carrying out beautiful imaginations.
They hope that the king will be born on a beautiful planet where there will be gentle sunshine, warm breeze, lush greenery and vitality.
The scene before them was hard for them to accept.
"After we find the king, we will occupy a beautiful planet and give it to the king. The planets on the human side are all very beautiful." A high-level Zerg suddenly said.
"One is not enough! Of course we should occupy them all and let the king choose the one he likes."
"One of you should check the planet ratings on Starnet. Whichever planet has the highest rating will be the first one we grab."
If planets had thoughts, the good-looking planets would probably be terrified, because every one of these Zergs who are thinking with bandit logic is serious.
Such a discussion in the presence of the leader could be considered an act of usurpation, but Cedric simply ordered his subordinates to disperse and search.
This planet gave Cedric a slight sense of familiarity, but abandoned planets all looked similar, so it was not uncommon to feel a sense of familiarity.
When the person he was looking for woke up, the mental link in Cedric' consciousness was interrupted, so the noisy sounds that he thought had disappeared reappeared, and the suppressed irritability accumulated again.
The accumulation speed inexplicably increased several times compared to before, and after just a few days, he was almost unable to endure it anymore.
In the past, Cedric would have gone looking for someone who could be his opponent and vent his unhappiness through fighting, but now he continues to endure it for some unknown reason.
The subordinates had already scattered to search. Cedric glanced towards the east and chose to walk in that direction with an expressionless face.
Even though he was blinded by a black blindfold, Cedric could still tell there was a small forest to the east.
Aiden Gu, who was staying in the grove, squatted in front of the small white flower he found. Aiden Gu didn't want to pick the flower, he just wanted to squat down and take a look at it.
The rhizome of this flower is injured and may not survive.
Aiden Gu stared at the injured part of the flower's stem for a few seconds. He did not have the ability to heal the damage, but he did not know whether his mental power could help the flower.
If he transfers a large amount of mental energy, he will probably fall asleep again soon.
In order to avoid being hungry when falling asleep, Aiden Gu thought about it, took out a piece of eggshell from his pocket, put it to his mouth and ate it with a crunch, then stretched out a finger and touched the petals of the flower with his fingertips.
Because he was concentrating on transmitting his mental power, Aiden Gu did not notice that the Blake Tucker who were guarding him nearby suddenly became highly alert.
"Squeak---" Even when facing their own kind, these Blake Tucker still chose to show their sharp forearms and teeth, and were wary of the silver-haired Zerg who came in front of them.
But they were facing high-level Zerg of Class A. The absolute level gap suppressed these Tak Zerg, and at this time they could only let the other side continue to approach.
Without hearing any footsteps, Aiden Gu finally finished transferring his mental power to the injured flower in front of him. From his squatting perspective, a pair of black military boots appeared in his field of vision.
Aiden Gu was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and saw a silver-haired Zerg with a black eye patch on his eyes.
This silver-haired Zerg has an exceptionally handsome face, with light-colored thin lips that look particularly beautiful in shape. Even with his eyes blindfolded, his facial features appear to be impeccable.
And the other person was now "looking" at him with his head down, quietly drenching in the rain with a cold expression.
Fine rain fell on the other person, slightly wetting his silver hair, but the high-level Zerg still did not move.
You can't just watch someone get wet in the rain like this, so before any verbal communication could take place, Aiden Gu stood up, took a step closer to the other person, and raised the umbrella in his hand over the head of the silver-haired Zerg.
Without hearing any sound or seeing any figure, Cedric could only sense Aiden Gu's presence and approach. Just like that, his noisy and unhappy world suddenly became quiet again.
Cedric found it difficult to understand the reason, but the silver-gray tail that reflected its owner's true mood instinctively swung again at this time. The tail wanted to get closer to the young man, but finally stopped at a position about to touch him.
This was the first time that Cedric had such a conflict.
He wanted to see this person, but because he didn't want to hurt him, he would rather not see him.
