I Am the Swarm

"What Wright said just now makes sense. Perhaps the Rat Man just wanted to deify the first queen. But have you ever thought about it? The Rat Man believes in this, and they understand what God represents. Regardless of whether God represents Zerg or other, Isn't it strange that an indigenous queen tried to stand side by side with them, but was not stopped, but died of old age, and has been sung to this day?" Blanca analyzed.

"Indeed, if I raise a colony of ants, and the queen among them wants to be side by side with me and divide my authority, I have to pour them a pot of boiling water." Wright said with a grin.

"Perhaps the relationship between the Ratman and the Zerg is much closer than we imagined?"

"Yes, the Ratman's technology is backward, and there are only two satellite colonies. Their social division plan is meaningless at all."

"Unless they can obtain greater benefits!"

"That's right! Those upper-level elites who know the truth can consciously maintain this kind of separation. It's not enough to rely on ideals alone. They can only get enough benefits by doing so."

"Maybe there are certain restrictions, such as quotas? This allows them to consciously guard this secret, in case more competitors take a share!"

"Then this benefit must be quite attractive."

"Silya, can you continue to pretend to get more information?" Branca asked.

Silya thought for a while and said: "They are very vigilant, and they even have some kind of identification mechanism. I have attracted some attention before, and it was only with Warwick's help that I managed to escape. If you are not afraid of causing diplomatic disputes, I can keep trying."

"Can you guarantee the harvest?"

"It's hard. Even at the same level, they won't say much. Maybe they really don't want to increase competitors."

"Then it won't work. Now we don't have enough evidence, and we don't have enough interests for the elder to violate the alliance rules. We still have to act cautiously." Blanca shook his head: "Now we only hope that the captain can Progress has been made, and we must obtain more intelligence to uncover the answer."

"After obtaining permission, maybe our next stop should be to consider the Ratman colony. The level there may help us know more."

"That's right!"

It's a pity that Colonel Edress and the captain, who had high hopes, were not good enough, and the Ratman rejected many applications and requests for various reasons.

It dragged on for nearly a year before things turned around.

Hummings, the elder of the Ji clan, arrived at Origin Star. As the resident elder of this area, he came here to sign a formal alliance agreement with the Ratman. Both the Riken and the Zerg had gone through this process.

As the highest decision-maker of the Ji clan, the elder is not in the same rank as the leader of that engineering team or the leader of an unknown team. The current Ratman Emperor greeted Hummings in person.

The signing of the agreement was very smooth. After all, it was just a formality. But after the meeting, Hummings, on behalf of the Ji clan, expressed concern about the Ratman's refusal of the Ji clan members to enter the country for tourism.

The Ratman could ignore the leader of the engineering team and the captain with an unknown number, but he couldn't ignore the elders of the Ji Clan. Therefore, the Ratman's city was once again open to the Ji Clan.

"It's still the strength of the elders!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"It's a pity that Elder Hummings is too old, and it doesn't conform to my aesthetics."

"What? What else do you think?"

"Hee hee~"

The intelligence team set off again in the spaceship, laughing and laughing all the way, only the captain's forehead was bulging with veins. This time their goal was to be colonized by the Ratman Red Moon. Originally, the Ratman refused to open the colony, but Hummings hadn't left. After some "civilization discussions", the Ratman finally chose to compromise.

"Everyone, be careful and be safe for a while. I'm not sure if the Ratman will jump over the wall in a hurry when we are close to the truth." The spaceship has already begun to lower the altitude, and the captain ordered.

"Don't worry, captain, everyone is a veteran, so you have your own measure."

"That's right, besides, the Ratman dare not do anything."

The captain was silent and didn't say much.

The Red Moon Colony is located in a large crater on the planet, the main body is underground, the surface structure is very sparse, and there are only a few parking pads.

"It's really rough here!" Wright complained.

"With the Ratman's technological level, it would be nice to be able to establish a colony."

After the team disembarked from the spaceship, several Ratman officials waited at the hatch. After a brief introduction, the two sides walked towards the interior of the building together.

"Excuse me, distinguished guests. This place is relatively simple, there are not many people, and everyone has their own jobs, so we can't hold a welcome ceremony for you." The Ratman official was very polite.

"It's okay, we just take a look." The captain responded politely.

They greeted each other all the way in front, but the members of the Ji clan behind the team started to act. Because they are in an outer space colony, their protective clothing is relatively thicker, and there are many more integrated instruments that can be hidden inside.

"Wright, you go last, pay attention to collecting samples, and others cover." The captain has no time, and the command is temporarily handed over to Branca. At this time, she directed everyone through a very partial language. This is the native language of a certain civilization on the other side of the Star Sea Alliance. Even if not many people in that civilization can speak it, the Ratman will not understand its meaning.

Wright, who was at the end, received the order. He pretended to caress the wall, but a steel needle-like sampler suddenly protruded from the palm of his hand. It was so strong that it was inserted into the wall like tofu. Then it retracted in lightning, and Wright put his hand down, leaving a hole on the wall that was so tiny that it was impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

The stop and go along the way may be because the number of Ratmen in the colony is really too small, or the Ratmen implicitly expressed that they are not welcome here. After a day's trip, the Ji clan team had never seen any ratmen except the ratman officials who welcomed them.

At night, in the living room.

"Captain, I checked, there is no monitoring equipment."

"Captain, there is no biological reaction, there are no other living things in this room except us."

The two team members walked around the room with instruments in hand and then reported.

"It seems that the Ratman knows what we are here for, and while guarding against us, he will not fall behind."

"Hmph, they're going too far. It's okay to say that no one showed up in those research rooms. You can't even see people in the living area. I don't believe it if you say that the blockade was not notified in advance."

"Okay, did you find anything today?"

"I got the samples collected by Wright. After a rough test, there is nothing wrong with the building materials of the colony itself, but the construction time does not seem to be long, even less than a hundred years. This does not match their records."
