Chapter 036 Humans (2)
Ma Zhe tried his best to control the spaceship, but he still fell to the ground in a panic. The dismembered tremor, twisted sounds and the screams of the crowd of people's terror and change tone were mixed together. For a moment, his eyes went dark, thinking that he was dead, but his heart was beating and denied the answer.
Maybe it was a few seconds, maybe it was a few minutes, Ma Zhe opened his eyes with difficulty. He lay on the floor of the bridge, his head a little dizzy, but his body was still intact. Fortunately, he supported his hands on the ground, and tried his best to get up little by little.
The bridge was in a mess. An unfortunate crew member was thrown out during the impact, and his head hit the broken beam on the top of the bridge. It was completely impossible for his body to piece it together. Seeing this scene, Ma Zhe felt disgusted in his heart and tried hard to move his eyes away from his dead companion.
"Ma Yu!" He walked to Ma Yu and pulled him up, "Where did you hurt?"
"Oh, my butt hurts!" Ma Yu said with a frown, his eyes shaking around, "Have we landed?"
"It should be, but the posture may not be very good." Ma Zhe limped towards the driving console, but before he could take a few steps, a messy sound came from outside.
"It's like an assault rifle is firing!" Ma Yu stopped.
Then the sound disappeared and a strange silence swept over.
"What's going on?" Ma Yu asked nervously.
Ma Zhe frowned and even held a big wrench in the toolbox in his hand. Once something happened, the "bang" sounded loudly, the metal door of the bridge was attacked by an external force. The first time it made the door sank. Before Ma Zhe could speak, the second attack came immediately.
The metal door was twisted.
A black hand, like a piece of bone-covered piece of bones, reached in, grabbing the side of the cracked gap and pulling the metal door in one direction.
"Oh my God, what is that?"
Amid Ma Yu's scream, Ma Zhe mustered up the courage to rush forward, but before he could use the "weapon" in his hand to attack the hand, the door was twisted open by it, and the black shadow in the gap disappeared in sight. Ma Zhe didn't have time to think about it and shouted "hide" to find a cover to hide.
"Bang"
Another loud bang, a deformed object flew past and hit the observation window of the bridge - it was the metal door! Then, a monster covered in black rushed in.
Behind it are more monsters.
They climbed upright and didn't know what to look at on the computer, but judging from their appearance, it was obvious that these monsters knew how to use human technology! Two monsters came to Ma Zhe and Ma Yu, and they stared blankly. Ma Zhe held the wrench tightly, trying to find a direction to break through.
But the monsters subdued them with just one hand.
He was glad that he had not been killed or swallowed alive, and perhaps the monsters were not necessarily vegetarian. But during the escort, he saw monsters in the aisle eating dead humans raw and found that the world he speculated was so beautiful that hope could be seen from these monsters.
Before leaving the spacecraft, the monster threw several sets of breathing masks to them and signaled that humans should wear them. Many people who were "selected" were very conscious. They had learned through the detector that the oxygen concentration was too high and humans could not survive in this concentration environment for a long time.
The selected people were concentrated, and even larger and more terrifying monsters stared at these humans. Mazhe looked up and saw that the guy was covered with hard black and shiny shells, almost exposing his green eyes. Everyone felt an extremely dangerous aura from it.
One palm of it is enough to slap five people at a time.
But what is even more surprising is that their group of people were not massacred. Except for some people who were incurable on their hands, the rest were kept intact, whether they were mercenaries, scientists, or crew members, as long as they were healthy, they were selected and a small number of people were selected.
"It seems that they act with purpose." A biologist murmured in a low voice, "I didn't expect that alien insects would have such wisdom."
"What a alien insect?" Mazhe pulled Ma Yu and followed. Although he was scared, he knew how to transfer - to discuss some other topics.
During the conversation, about half an hour passed.
Humans ushered in a second amazement.
"What a spectacular palace!" Ma Yu couldn't help but exclaim. Although he had seen it once in the air, he could only feel his insignificance when he was really in it.
Everything is extremely huge, and even climbing the stairs requires most people to take a step. Ma Zhe observed that this was obviously not designed for human body shape. For example, the alien insects next to them walked very smoothly, and the advantages of their four legs were completely reflected in climbing the stairs.
Moreover, the changing light reflected by the sunlight around them almost made them unable to open their eyes.
In this way, with shock and surprise all the way, they stepped onto the ground paved with agate stone and entered the illusion-like palace. More than a dozen people couldn't help but look up at a sculpture in the middle. Are there two humans on it? No, that's not humans, it's just a similarity.
They passed through a corridor full of sculptures and huge stone pillars. Some scholars even forgot about danger and couldn't help but stay and study these marks representing civilization. The above descriptions are really amazing to them than danger, but the ferocious alien insects did not give them the opportunity to push and shovate all the way, and by "luxury" can't describe a complete corridor.
Stop in another hall.
Several large cylinders more than ten meters high support the huge dome, with a wide space. When people walk on the black marble floor, the sound of footsteps spreads out, and when they hit the surrounding walls, they bounce back, and the echo increases the sound of walking. The designer obviously put in a lot of effort.
A few dozen meters away from them, a marble-carved chair was placed on a small step, decorated with gems and gold.
The master sat on the chair, and the more luxurious everything around him was, the more amazing it was, the more he seemed as high as the master.
He was quietly waiting for the visitors, and the alien pushed them up and stopped about ten meters away from the master. He glanced at the fifteen humans with breathing masks.
"You can call me the 'Zerg Lord'." The master spoke in the common word for humans, "When you break into your own, your fate has been decided."
The crowd below burst into surprise, even surpassing everything he had encountered just now - this creature that looks like a human, but is too hideous and too tall, actually speaks human language?
"I should have eaten you all." He didn't care about human surprise and said something that made them even more scared, "But maybe this is a coincidence, I can keep you alive. Of course, there is never a good thing in the world that doesn't cost you. As a condition for life exchange, you need to do a few things for me."
After saying that, he looked at the group of people.
"What do you... want us to do?" Ma Zhe mustered up the courage to face the master. As long as he had the chance to survive, he would never give up, let alone he didn't want his younger brother to die here too.
The master stared at Mazhe with interest. After a few seconds, he said, "First, let your companions repair the damaged spacecraft; second, explain your origins to me in detail... I will think of these for the time being. But as long as you satisfy me, survival will not be a problem."
"How do you guarantee that we will not be killed by you after completing your request?" Ma Zhe asked again, knowing that the other party could do this.
"I don't like to promise that it's too false and unrealistic." The master sneered, and the two aliens stepped forward, dragged out a human, and amid his screams, a scene of beasts fighting for humans. The master looked at him expressionlessly, and no one present dared to speak out.
The sound of chewing minced meat and dripping saliva echoed in the palace, extremely clear.
"The deterrence is far more effective than guaranteed!" The master raised his finger slightly, and pointed his sharp nails at the dead body on the ground that had been cleaned up by the engineers. "Do you agree, or are you like him?"
Everyone's scalp was numb, and the scene of eating people was constantly reappearing in their minds. They could barely endure the dead, but this bloody and inhumane scene made many people vomit on the spot. Even some scientific researchers could not resist this nightmare scene.
"He is still a living person! How could you do it?" Ma Zhe couldn't help but speak, and this scene made him tremble.
"Why didn't you humans think of this when you were about to destroy us last time?" The master's face became colder, "Those were also lively lives, not the beasts in your eyes, the alien races that were slaughtering wantonly - you invaders!"
Perhaps for humans, the scene just now is extremely cruel, but for the Zerg encounter, nothing can be more cruel than destroying the race.
What's more, when Phyllos's first contact, humans cleared the Zerg on the surface without hesitation, causing the last young master to die at the end of their lives, making Maxine a stray dog, and was locked up for research by humans, and even facing an extremely critical moment of birth.
Once missed, the Zerg may disappear forever in the long river of history.
Racial consciousness has been deeply embedded in Hu Yi's thinking. If it were the past, he might have been a little hesitant - but now, every time humans massacre a Zerg unit, it is equivalent to cutting a knife on him. Let me ask, can you bear it if you are malicious and keep wielding a knife at you?
With some extreme exceptions, not many people can.
He, the Zerg's dominance is even more impossible.
The human contradictions of Zerg cannot be simply reconciled. And if he does not handle this time, perhaps a human fleet will be here in a few months, and hundreds of millions of Zergs will suffer a catastrophe again. The situation does not allow him to hesitate at all. Death of one person is normal for him to exhale and inhale.
No one can reconcile this contradiction.
At least both sides in the conflict cannot calm down, humans must remove the Zerg, and the Zerg will also look for opportunities to rise again.
Ma Zhe was speechless for a moment.
"There are four or five hundred people in the spacecraft." said the master, "Don't you humans say that life is free and equal? But freedom is cruel, and their life and death will be exchanged for your freedom or not."
"Among you, there are captains, leaders of the group, representatives of some unscrupulous scientific research groups, and leaders of the mercenary group..." He showed the identity of these people bit by bit, "You can decide your own destiny, and you can also make the group outside suffer or a short moment when facing death."
"Or, I can also change to another group of people who are more eager for life." said the master.
"We agreed!" Ma Zhe said. They had no choice. Now they agreed first and then find a way to deal with each other.
"Very good!" the master nodded, "Your wise choice will give you humble lives the opportunity to survive."

I saw someone who said this book was updated, so I would like to explain it here. I know that niche literati such as science fiction is not very popular, but my requirements are not high. At least (if) the data readers are good, my update will be very stable (two updates, 6000+). This is not the case. One of them: Even if every reader who collects the book only votes for a recommendation at that moment - the only time to read this book! The results will be greatly improved. But look, I finally rushed to the front row (thank you very strongly for voting often!), but the new book list is about to be an anal... Embarrassment...
Where does the motivation for renewal come from?
I won’t say it anymore, I will cry if I say too much...
Chapter completed!
