I Am the Swarm

"Until you get in touch with that person, you can never imagine his greatness!"

Reggie fell into memories when he spoke out of emotion.

Not long after he gave up resistance and ordered all hatches to be opened, those flying molluscs rushed into the bridge and surrounded them.

Fortunately, they just surrounded them without any other drastic actions.

In fact, he did so with a certain amount of gambling.

Because everything before is just speculation until they are sure. If they guess wrong, the other party is actually just some smarter creatures, but they do not have wisdom. He ordered to disarm and open the hatch, which is no different from suicide.

Fortunately, he was right.

"What are they going to do?" Beside him, Root, the chief scientific advisor of the cat-ear spacecraft, asked quietly.

"I don't know." Reggie shook his head. The other party surrounded them like this and didn't attack them, but they didn't intend to communicate. There was a stalemate like this for a while.

"You can't just stand around like this all the time, you have to figure out a way," Root said.

Reggie really wanted to say, now that they are vulnerable groups, what can they do. However, after all, he is the captain of the cat-eared spaceship and the highest command of the expedition team, so he must stand up at this time.

"Hello, we are the Riken tribe from the Riken galaxy. We are a peaceful and powerful race. We came here with friendship. Please forgive me for disturbing you, but we didn't know this place before. A land with an owner. Now, we hope to communicate with you, to enhance mutual understanding, and to exchange information..."

After a long paragraph of eloquence, Reggie spoke very formally, expressing his apology for coming here without notifying the host in advance. He also euphemistically explained that we are not to blame for this matter, but that you hid it too well. At the same time, he also vaguely mentioned that there are people behind him, a very powerful race, and reminded the other party not to go too far.

Alas, the words played the harp to the cows, and the creatures that surrounded them had no response.

Reggie was not discouraged, and repeated what he had just said with a lot of Riken star slang. He is an elite of the Riken tribe and is proficient in many languages, but obviously, these languages ​​only belong to the Riken tribe and cannot be used across the stars.

With a dry mouth, Reggie had no choice but to retreat, and whispered to Root: "No, I don't understand the language, you should analyze how to communicate from a biological point of view."

Root looked at the opponent's body structure, and then at himself. This completely different style of painting seemed to make it difficult to even make gestures.

Suddenly, Major Kamais, who had been serving as the background board, suddenly interjected: "Don't bother, they are waiting for someone."

The top military chief of one of the Big Three cat-eared spaceships spoke amazingly. He also saw the performance of these space mollusc creatures in a cloud at first, but when he changed the angle, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.

Isn't this the soldier who caught the prisoner and waited for the officer to come to question him?

It's just that because the structure and shape of the two sides are different, the thinking cannot be changed for a while, and I haven't found it.

Reggie and Root also reacted after Kamais' reminder.

Indeed, this scene is very familiar. Ordinary soldiers have no way or qualifications to make decisions in the communication between the two races. They are waiting for the arrival of more advanced beings.

Thinking of this, several people put out the idea of ​​communicating with these creatures on the opposite side, and waited in peace.

Time passed little by little, and the oppressive atmosphere was spreading. Many Rickens were like prisoners waiting to go to the execution ground. The fear before execution made them gradually collapse.

Suddenly, the space creatures that were originally floating up and down around separated to the two sides, revealing a path.

"Here we come!" Many members of the Riken clan secretly said in their hearts, and at the same time cheered up, the decision of whether they were dead or alive would soon be revealed.

Footsteps gradually came.

Footsteps?

Reggie looked at the floating molluscs.

How could there be footsteps?

What the hell?

He turned to look at Root, just as Root also turned to look at him, and they looked at each other, and both of them understood what the other was thinking.

But now it is not suitable for communication, because the visitor has already appeared in front of them.

Surrounded by those soft-bodied creatures, five humanoid creatures showed their figures, and the leader was a female with obvious female characteristics.

She is more than 1.7 meters tall, covered with purple-red fine scales, with exquisitely shaped horny armor on the joints, and the overall defense looks good.

This is their spacesuit? It's quite individual. Reggie secretly guessed.

Behind this female, there are four alien creatures, one female and three males. The makeup of the female is similar to that of the leading female, while the appearance of the male is more rough.

The scales on their bodies are obviously larger, and they are jet black, and the horny armor on the joints, shoulders, etc. has also condensed into sharp barbs. And on their helmets, there is a sharp horn, which makes their image more impactful.

These savages.

This is Reggie's first impression.

But as they approached, Reggie was shocked to find that these armors seemed different from what he had imagined.

They don't appear to be protective clothing.

But grow directly from the body?

What kind of creatures are these?

Although he is not a biological expert, he still knows some basic evolutionary knowledge. During the long-term use of external force tools by intelligent creatures, many defensive and aggressive external features will degenerate.

But since the other party can launch a space attack, it is obvious that they are not low in intelligence, so why do they still have these primitive characteristics?

Then he remembered the thing that speculated that the other party was a biological civilization, but even a biological civilization doesn't have to be like this, right?

If Sarah knew what Reggie was thinking, she would definitely be very helpless. This diplomatic suit was designed by Master Juggernaut himself.

Although she feels pretty good, she always feels that Master Juggernaut has a bad taste in his eyes.

Although it was the first time for Sarah to take down alien captives, she had been the emperor of a clan for decades. Although she didn't use the body of the white-haired rat man, this body now looks like her. field is stronger.

Reggie could tell at a glance that the female creature in front of her had been in a high position for many years, and that she couldn't cultivate the temperament of her gestures in a short period of time. Even the elegant shape is like music, you don't need to understand it, just take a look at it and listen to a paragraph, you can taste the difference.

The opponent may be a nobleman among alien creatures, maybe even a royal family, Reggie guessed.

Since the other party was obviously a big shot, Reggie lowered his stance a little bit, and took the initiative to repeat the more official speech just now.

It is a pity that the first dialogue did not achieve good results due to the language barrier between the two sides.
