Chapter 50: Shock the World

  As someone who used to py games, Alex always believed that in terms of frontal assault, the Zerg always brought the greatest sense of oppression.

  Humaides seemed invincible, embodying a beauty of metal and order. When they advanced, it felt like a giant mae rolling forward, indug shivers. The Protoss had the world's stro individual bat power, and when they charged, it felt like a fearless assault of warriors, earning awe and respect.

  But the Zerg were different. When their swarms appeared before you, it was more like an unstoppable, irresistible natural disaster. Like an avanche, flood, or tsunami, the Zerg's attack utilized sheer o the extreme.

  Fag a Zerg rush, you didn't feel battle ce er and madness. Instead, you felt small and instinctively terrified by the overwhelming numbers. This is an essential part of any creature's evolution. You block a colpsing dam, resist a raging flood, but fag a tsunami tens of meters high or a sky-filling hurrie, there's little you do to ge it.

  And that was the Zerg.

  Tens of thousands of Zerglings surged out of the forest, turning into a muddy tide sweeping forward. From a dista looked like the battlefield was instantly covered in a blood-red carpet. Above them, Mutalisks fpped their wings, f a dense cloud.

  This wave of attack felt like witnessing the arrival of purgatory—the gates of hell opening, with crimson infern everything from the ground to the sky, rushing towards you.

  Captain Wang lowered his mae gun, staring bnkly at the Zerg tide in front of him, indifferent even to the alieures behind him. Extreme fear brought about despair. They never felt this way against the mimics, as those creatures, despite their numbers, attacked haphazardly and often hid underground, making their offensives seem less intehan they actually were.

  But the Zerg were different. Their terrifying momentum alone was enough to chill the soul before they even reached the battlefield.

  No one fired. They even gave up struggling. In the face of suumbers, they only felt powerless and desperate. Some soldiers even closed their eyes, awaitih.

  But... a miracle happened.

  Those terrifying monsters didn't kill the soldiers. Instead, the Zerglings deliberately made way, their massive bodies ued, flowing around the soldiers like water, and tinuing forward, forward, ever forward.

  "What's going on?"

  Captain Wang opened his eyes. He had prepared to die, but after waiting for a long time, death hadn't e. He opened his eyes to find that the terrifying bugs had no iion of harming them. They had even gone around him.

  Not only him, but when Captain Wang looked around, he saw his other subordinates also standing there, some dumbfounded, others still waiting for death with closed eyes. It seemed a bit ical, but no one could ugh.

  Moments ter, the Zerg had disappeared from sight, entering the battlefield and starting to fight. Everything around them was so quiet it felt unreal. The soldiers stood dumbly, not knowing what to do.

  "My God, what was that?"

  After who knows how long, a soldier broke the silence. He turned his head, looking back. Others also turned hesitantly towards the battlefield. There, the Zerg were madly sughtering everything in sight, and the mimics couldn't stir up aance.

  "They're... attag those aliens?"

  The se was unbelievable for the soldiers. But the truth was, these terrifying, ugly creatures, seemingly from hell itself, were... on their side?

  "Whatever it is, we o leave here immediately!"

  Still not fully uanding the situation, Captain Wang made a swift decision. The current situation was beyond their handling capacity. They had to report bamand and then pn their move. Hearing his order, the soldiers uatingly followed, leaving the battlefield.

  This was no loheir fight. They didn't know where these creatures came from, but sihey were attag the aliens, they hoped the Zerg wouldn't lose.

  If Alex knew what the soldiers were thinking, he would scoff at them.

  "How could we lose with Mutalisks?"

  Alex had no fear of being jihere was no ce of defeat with such a popution adva was impossible to turide. How could he lose with a wave of Zerglings and Mutalisks?

  And indeed, Alex's predi proved correct.

  Although these mimic creatures indeed possessed formidable attack capabilities, their ck of an air force was a fatal fw. Additionally, their numbers were far inferior to the Zerg.

  In the first wave of assault, the mimics were instantly shredded by the Zerglings and Mutalisks, utterly defeated. From an aerial view, it would appear as though the once-arrogant mimics were like shells on a beach, washed by the overwhelmiide.

  However, Alex didn't just rush in for a full assault. He khat the mimics' greatest strength wasn't their battlefield prowess but their ability to reset the timeline.

  To avoid being caught in the same trap, Alex ordered his Zerg to capture the peculiar node creatures alive and bring them back to base for blood extra. Only after abs their geic sequences would they be killed.

  This strategy effectively limited the mimics' ability to reset the timelihe Zerg advariumphantly, quering the entire front lihin a day.

  At this point, the entire human world lunged into chaos. The sudden emergence of the Zerg shocked everyone.

  Humanity had thought that after battling aliens, they were immuo surprises. But seeing these terrifying Zerg, they realized they were still too naive.

  Military leaders from various tries immediately veo discuss the situation.

  The retly returned soldiers, still in their bloodstained uniforms, were quickly summoo the joint aer to report.

  "Captain Wang Dong of the Fifth Armored Brigade rep!"

  Dressed in a uniform stained with blood, Wang Dong solemered the aer, saluting the officers in front of him.

  "At ease."

  The elderly man at the head of the table raised his hand in a gesture.

  "Wang Dong, I believe you knoe called you here."

  "Is it about those suddenly appearing monsters?"

  "Exactly."

  The old man's expression turned serious upon hearing Wang Dong's respohe high-ranking officers of various nationalities around him also looked grave.

  "We've heard your unit had direct tact with those creatures. you share your insights?"

  "My insights?"

  Wang Dong's face ged as he recalled the unstoppable, overwhelmiide.

  For a moment, he felt his legs go weak, but he quickly regained his posure through sheer willpower. He looked at the senior officers and spoke slowly.

  "They are... nearly unstoppable."

  The officers frow Wang Dong's response, even the elderly leader.

  As soldiers, they despised weakness, and Wang Dong's words seemed cowardly to them.

  "Perhaps you think I'm making excuses, but gentlemen, I'm speaking as a frontline soldier and ahis was my first impression fag them. If you don't believe me, I have battlefield footage that will expihing."

  "Show us."

  The elderly leader gestured, and Wang Dong handed over a memory card. A tei quickly ied it into a pyback device, and the s dispyed footage of the battle.

  At first, it showed Wang Dong's unit fighting the mimics. The officers, many of whom had experieh mimics, weren't particurly impressed.

  However, when the footage reached the point where Wang Dong's men were surrouhe elderly leader nodded in appreciation of Wang Dong's dispyed ce.

  But the ses shocked everyone.

  As the mimics prepared to attack, they suddenly halted. The officers tensed, knowing what was i.

  However, seeing it on video was much more visceral than reading a report.

  The camera panned, revealing the Zerg swarm.

  "WTF?!"

  "My God..."

  "What is that?!"

  As the Zerg swarm surged from the distahe officers' faces paled. Some shouted in shock, others swore, and a few stood up, visibly shaken.

  Despite their military disciplihe sheer horror of the footage uled them.

  When the Zerg swarm reached Wang Dong, some officers instinctively stood, preparing for defehers dispyed hopelessness, and a few even fell from their chairs in panic.

  Upon realizing they were still in a feren, they appeared relieved.

  The civilian staff reacted even worse. Several secretaries fainted, and the guards gripped their ons tightly, barely restraining themselves from firing.

  Wang Dong, watg this, ched his fists. During the actual event, he had closed his eyes, awaitih, unaware of what happened.

  His camera, however, captured everything. He watched the Zerg rush past him without even gng at him, their sharp cws and fangs terrifying on s. He shuddered, realizing that if they had attacked, he would have been torn to pieces.

  Now, he saw his survival as a miracle.

  The video ended, but the room remained silent. The elderly leader, sweating, wiped his forehead and addressed the others with a serious tone.

  "It seems we need a pn."
