StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 128 Natural Selection

Alex was absolutely furious. Who would have thought that there would be a traitor among their Zerg!

"Aria, who is the person you're colluding with?"

Aria simply smiled and said calmly, "You already have your answer, don't you?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Alex's heart still skipped a beat when he heard the news with his own ears.

Gatana actually did it.

“Long time no see, Aria,” Klein nodded slightly to her. “I just don’t know what your wolf clan is plotting that has made you willingly endure humiliation for so many years.”

Unexpectedly, Aria didn't play by the rules, waving her hand and refusing to reveal her plan. "But I can tell you something... Actually, going back to primitive society isn't so bad. Being a thoughtless, self-aware insect, not having to think about anything other than survival and reproduction, how enchanting that would be!"

Unfortunately, Klein found some clues through a recent information loophole jointly released by the Zerg and Wolf Clan, but the video obtained from the abandoned starship was not enough to support his overthrow of Gatana.

“But there’s no need to worry too much,” Aria said, clearly not taking them seriously. “Low-level civilizations don’t need to think so much; as long as they’re alive, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing her mention 'returning to primitive society,' coupled with the 'accident' that occurred on the starship, Klein had already formed a general understanding of their plan.

Hopefully it's not what he thinks.

Just as Aria was getting bored, Klein spoke up, "You guys probably already joined forces with him to lure the Queen and a large number of Zerg troops to the front lines, and then began to surround King Star to cut off our backup energy supply, right?"

A round of applause rang out, and Aria's eyes narrowed slightly. "Indeed, the former Commander-in-Chief was wise... If the Zerg were still the same Zerg as before, I would never have dared to do this, what a pity..."

Alex entered through the hatch with a gloomy expression, showing no particular reaction when he saw Klein.

It is estimated that he has already confirmed Gatana's defection to the enemy.

"I'm not here to catch up with you. Which starship is the Queen Bee on?"

Aria wasn't interested in anyone else besides her target, so she asked directly, "We also want the Queen Insect. Handing her over will make your deaths easier."

"Wishful thinking." Alex lowered the brim of his hat, looking at her with a cold and serious expression.

"Alright, alright, you're the ones who won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences."

After saying that, the Zerg starship's display screen suddenly flickered twice, then went black.

The communication between Aria and others was abruptly cut off before Aria could finish speaking.

"The Starship firewall has been updated and the virus has been removed."

Andor, wearing a white lab coat, had just come out of the archives, his forehead covered in beads of sweat.

"Thank you for your hard work." Klein nodded in acknowledgment as he watched the starship's communication system begin to function normally again.

Andor retested and replaced the system that had already been processed to ensure that the Wolf Clan could not break the key for the time being before speaking, "This is a system from so many years ago. Do you think our Zerg starships would still use such outdated junk that is almost undetectable in outer space?"

He was mocking Gatana for being too hasty; if anyone had boarded the starship to check the system configuration at the time, they would have discovered the problem.

However, Alex lacked knowledge in this area, and the situation was urgent, leaving no time to consider such matters.

"It was my negligence, I'm sorry..."

“What’s the point of saying all this now?” Andor finally turned back from the main computer terminal. “Are there any spare drugs on the main starship? Distribute them to the other starships in turn. It is known that these germs are airborne, and the Queen has already suffered small wounds on her body.”

"Do you think it's too late to equip us now..." Alex said with a wry smile. "From the very beginning, Gatana never intended for us to go back."

"Even a little psychological comfort would be helpful."

After a moment's thought, Andorra discussed the matter with Klein and learned the whole story.

At the same time, they understood the Fourth Elder's good intentions.

If I hadn't come along, the starship's communication equipment would probably be down by now.

After all, the official reason given was that the front lines were in dire need of manpower, so there were almost no technical personnel available. All the soldiers who could be used but not used were sent to the front lines as cannon fodder.

Wang Xing is currently vulnerable.

Once the three lines of defense are breached, the Zerg King will be completely exposed to enemy fire.

Shen Qingqing sat on the bed and brought up the personal computer. After a while, the stranger's face on the personal computer had disappeared, and the Zerg Star Network was gradually restored.

The above are nothing more than statements condemning Gatana for selling out his people for personal gain.

Compared to the previous bans, there seems to be less regulation on StarNet now, and anyone can freely express their opinions.

This is not a good thing.

When public opinion cannot be controlled, rumors will gradually drown out the truth.

Soon, Shen Qingqing saw a message posted by a mysterious user in a highly popular post.

[This post may be deleted soon, but what I want to say is that the Zerg are probably facing an unprecedented upheaval, and almost no Zerg player can escape this change...]

At first, Shen Qingqing thought it was just the fantasy of a netizen who liked science fiction and post-apocalyptic novels.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that many of the listed measures actually matched the wolf pack's actions by a factor of 70%.

The unfamiliar terms such as "Melada's prophecy," "degeneration and parasitism," "gene recombination," and "blood cell protein" caught her attention.

The most eye-catching part is the Pandora extinction plan mentioned in it.

Even if you don't want to believe it, species evolution is driven by racial advantage. Since the Zerg shed their thick, hard shells, they have begun to focus on the mental realm. But so many years have passed, and even the queen bee in the hive of the Bees has gradually developed self-awareness, while the Zerg have remained stagnant.

I believe this is not natural evolution, but rather nature's selection process, weeding out races like the Zerg that are already beginning to decline.

Within a minute of the post being published, there were already tens of thousands of comments, most of which criticized the original poster, while a comment in the fifty-sixth post expressed support.

Shen Qingqing wanted to see more of the content, but the post suddenly disappeared the next second.

Even that forum was banned; I couldn't access it no matter what.

Is it the result of natural selection?

Shen Qingqing looked out the window at the dense array of interstellar warships, with the Wolf Clan warships directly opposite them.

Michelle, who was separated from her by a wall, looked at her through the glass window.

Michelle could sense that his body seemed to be starting to have problems.
