Dimensional Codex - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Third Type of Contact (Part B)

Dino was quite excited.

Looking at the Zerg army outside the helicopter, he was so excited that he couldn’t hold the mic properly.

This is my chance!

Dino, squeezing the mic hard, swore in his heart that he had to make big news this time! His colleagues could only dare to secretly take photos of little things from outside, but it was all useless. He, the BBC correspondent, Quick Dino would have a face-to-face talk with these mysterious aliens that had appeared out of nowhere!

Furthermore, this was a global live broadcast!

“Bart, go down a little bit, will you!?”

“Are you crazy? Do you really want us to fly into the lair of those monsters? They might attack us!?”

The pilot in-charge of piloting the helicopter shouted in surprise when he heard Dino’s order. But Dino just scoffed it off with a wave of his hand.

“That’s why I hired you, Bart. You are the best, so I know you can do it! Don’t worry, those aliens will not attack us. After all, they are friends with humans!”

Dino belonged to a faction that believed Zergs were humans’ friends, which was also why he wasn’t afraid of venturing into the Zergs’ territory, and he even flew into their lair. Dino believed that since these aliens were here to help mankind, he, as a human, had to welcome these alien guests as a human representative. Dino could even imagine the impact of the scene when he would talk to those aliens in front of the camera, broadcasting live to the entire world! He would become a hero in the history of humans! A communication bridge between humans and aliens!

As for the military blockade, Dino didn’t think it was necessary at all. Those soldiers know only war. They don’t understand the value of peace. We are a civilized species. How can we treat alien guests in such a barbaric way?

Especially the controlling of news, it’s stupid! Everyone has the right to understand all of this, they can’t just cover it all up! This is not fair! As a reporter, I must defend the freedom of the press. I will not hesitate to give up my own life for this!

Dino was very excited as he looked at the various Zerg infrastructure in the city! Fang Zheng carried forward the characteristics of the Zergs and the location of their base! He selected 8 to 10 mines in one breath and they started developing crazily. Basically, the nearby ground under the city had already been hollowed out by the Zergs!

Dino took a deep breath before he turned to the camera and gestured at the cameraman. Soon, the camera was switched on and the red dot on it turned green. Almost at the same time, Dino started quickly reporting.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our special broadcast. I am your host, Dino from BBC. I am currently leading my team to the alien base. As you can see, we are already flying over it. Look, these aliens are welcoming us!”

While Dino spoke, he made a gesture towards the ground. A few drops of cold sweat immediately trickled down the cameraman’s forehead. Frankly speaking, he didn’t feel that those terrifying alien creatures on the ground were welcoming them. Looking at them, raising their heads and roaring… Why do I feel that they are thinking of us as nothing but food!

“Ladies and gentlemen, next we will…”

But before Dino could even finish his sentence, a roar shook their eardrums. Then, they were surprised by the appearance of a huge monster that suddenly flew straight towards their helicopter!

“We are getting out of here ASAP!!”

One had to admit, the Zergs were indeed ugly and horrifying. Take Corruptor for instance, with its huge head, sharp mouth, swinging tentacles, and that strange color, it looked like a monster from hell. Bart, the pilot, immediately wanted to withdraw after he saw the Corruptor.

“No, we have to climb since it’s here. It’s stretching those damned tentacles at us! Oh, no!!! It caught us!”

“Relax, Bart. They are welcoming us! Bart, don’t overreact, oh… Damn it!”

But the pilot couldn’t follow Dino orders, obviously. He was already terrified by the flying Corruptor. He controlled the helicopter to swing left and right, trying to break free. Dino was left with no strength to speak anymore. All he could do was cling to the bar next to him to avoid getting thrown out. Although he was cursing in his heart, calling him a damned bastard for being too weak, Dino could only pray that he wouldn’t be thrown off and fall to the ground to his death!

But the next scene frightened them all out of their senses.

The Corruptor suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a strange liquid on the helicopter. In the next moment, they noticed that the outer body of the helicopter had turned soft like bread drenched in hot water as if it was corroded. Even the propellers that were spinning crazily at this moment also softened like noodles. Then, the Corruptor directly stretched its tentacles out and caught the helicopter, flying away with it.

“My God, they are going to eat us. They are going to eat us for sure!”

“Uh, ladies and gentlemen, I think we had a little accident but this shouldn’t be a big problem…”

Even Dino’s expression wasn’t very good at the moment. Even though he still believed that these alien creatures were friendly, the might of the Corruptor’s saliva had shaken his heart. He started to worry a little now, wondering whether the actions of the idiot pilot made these aliens think that they had come with hostility? If that was the case, it was pretty bad then!

However, the Corruptor didn’t send them to the center of any Zerg lair as Dino expected nor did they eat them. Instead, the Corruptor flew all the way to the edge, rocking the helicopter left and right. It came to Wang Dong and his team and threw the helicopter directly to the ground with a loud bang.

“This…”

Watching the Corruptor fly over, Wang Dong and the others were on their guard for every possible danger but the other party just threw the tattered helicopter in front of them, leaving everyone at their wits’ end. But before they could say anything, a voice suddenly rang in everyone’s mind.

“Humans, don’t disturb us!”

With the sudden appearance of this voice in their heads, everyone was surprised to see a creature with its upper body resembling a human female and a lower body resembling a deer that had come out not too far away from them. Beside it was a large group of Zerglings staring at the humans, displaying a tyrannical atmosphere.

“We are the representatives sent by the joint command!”

Everyone was relieved by the appearance of Mylune. Before they were really worried whether they would be able to communicate with these terrifying aliens but now it seemed that both sides could communicate. So, the spectacled woman hurried forward, spread her hands, and made a gesture meaning that she meant no harm.

“We just want to communicate with you…”

“But I am not interested in you.”

Mylune glanced at the human woman with boredom. To be honest, had Fang Zheng not ordered me to harm the human, they would have long become the Zerglings’ meal already… No, these weak and incompetent creatures aren’t even worthy to be eaten by the Zergs.

They were not powerful. There was nothing special about them to move the Zergs’ hearts. In accordance with the rules of the Zergs, creatures like this that had no devouring value should have been destroyed in the first place in order to maintain the purity of the gene chain.

But this pestering of humans dissatisfied Mylune a little. These kinds of weak and powerless creatures should have been crawling and shivering in front of the power of the Zergs but to her shock, they dared to bargain with her. This pissed off Mylune a little. She thought for a while. Fang Zheng’s order was to drive these humans away, unharmed, and limit the contact with them as much as possible. But now, it seemed that she might have to use some other means to do it.

“We just want to understand each other. We aren’t hostile!”

Maybe it was because of the dissatisfaction in Mylune’s voice that the spectacled woman became more anxious. She thought that the aliens were quite dissatisfied with them because of those damn reporters. However, this was very normal. After all, they had invaded the other side’s territory for no reason. Naturally, any creature with a strong territorial instinct would be dissatisfied.

“Understand each other!?”

Mylune blinked after she heard this. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

“Then, I will let you understand who you are actually facing!”

Before her voice died away, everyone saw the weird creature before them suddenly emit dazzling light. And the next moment, everyone felt as if their brains were about to explode and they began to suffer from severe migraines. Then, scene after scene flashed in everyone’s mind.

It was of the Zergs.

In the vision, the humans saw the development process of the Zergs. They occupied planet after planet, swallowing and assimilating all the powerful species they encountered, becoming stronger and more terrifying. For the Zergs, devouring and evolving were their eternal goals. And everything else was meaningless to them!

The vision everyone saw was fleeting but they were still all drenched in sweat. The spectacled woman’s face became pale before she collapsed to the ground, trembling; she didn’t know what to say.

“Get out of here, humans.”

Mylune nodded in satisfaction, watching the reactions of these humans. This should have been the attitude of a lower race, not the arrogant way of thinking that they could bargain with the Zergs.

“We have no interest in you.”
