Chapter 52 (1/2)
“Is this where those aliens are?”
Wang Dong, looking at the city in front of him, furrowed his brow. And the expressions of the others around him weren’t any better.
However, this was also normal. After all, the Zergs, from the units to the buildings, they gave off… well, a kind of villainous aura. It was not unreasonable to call them devils… Besides, Zergs especially liked to lay the carpet for themselves which could be said to have spread everywhere. This also led to the humans’ first impression of them. In any case, they were definitely no way closer to angels or saviors.
“Do we have to go there?”
Looking at the thick and squirming blanket of fungus under his feet, Wang Dong frowned and turned to look at a middle-aged woman with spectacles behind him. This time, Wang Dong had come here as a member of the joint command’s investigation team. He was working with others to protect the representatives sent by the command to contact these strange creatures. The main purpose was to find out whether these creatures were friends or enemies, why had they come to earth, and why were they fighting the mimics…
“I think these strange bugs are here to occupy Earth!”
Looking at the squirming blanket of fungus, a blond man snorted and said, dissatisfied. The spectacled woman immediately gave him a serious glare in response to his complaint.
“Shut up, idiot! We came here to establish contact with them on behalf of all mankind, not to declare war! Put your gun away! The humans are in dire straits already, I don’t want any more mistakes that would make it even direr.”
“Alright, alright.”
The blond man spread his hands and curled his lips, facing the spectacled woman.
“So, what do we do now? Should we keep going?”
“No! It’s better we don’t do this.”
This time, the spectacled woman thought for a moment before giving an answer.
“Although I don’t know what it is, it very much looks like enclosed territory. These creatures may have a strong sense of territory. If we step in rashly, it’s very likely to arouse hostility.”
“Well… Damn it, this is our city!”
Wang Dong and the spectacled woman glanced at each other, helpless expressions on their faces. Just like those disputes on the internet, there had been many debates in the joint command over how to treat these aliens that had appeared out of nowhere. Especially after seeing the video provided by Wang Dong. Many people were already terrified and disturbed by this mysterious race that had suddenly appeared.
Wang Dong knew very well that in the joint command, even the faction that supported communication with the alien creatures was more afraid of their terrifying combat effectiveness than the idea of peaceful coexistence between both sides. However, it wasn’t surprising. Who asked the Zergs to grow into such terrifying… In any case, as long as one was a normal human, he wouldn’t think that the Zergs were very beautiful.
“What should we do now?”
Another fat man with a big belly asked curiously. He was a very famous psychologist and a member of this negotiation team. He was responsible for evaluating the psychology of both parties. He also hoped to use this to roughly estimate the development of the alien creatures’ civilization.
“We can’t stay here forever and do nothing, can we?”
“Don’t act rashly for now. We are the first human team to enter their territory. If they want to communicate with us, then…”
