Chapter 51: Chapter 50 The Savior or the Demon Lord?
Editor: Exodus Tales
Humans were on high alert when the Zerg suddenly appeared. Various precautions were taken, and even in the public sphere, news about the Zerg was constant. Initially, people didn’t dare to get too close to the Zerg. Later, after discovering that the Zerg seed to completely ignore them, so journalists boldly relied on their agility, unexpectedly taking their caras and heading to the front lines to film the Zerg!
Fang Zheng was stunned when he saw the news on his phone.
These journalists were really gutsy!
He had ordered the Zerg not to attack humans, but even so, so limits shouldn’t be crossed.
He had to admit, although these journalists were indeed risking their lives, the first-hand footage they captured caused a worldwide sensation. Through the cara, they detailed a battle between the Zerg and so Mimic Aliens. Predictably, the aliens were routed by the Zerg onslaught; from start to finish, the Zerg had the upper hand.
It was unclear whether these journalists aid to showcase the Zerg’s might or their threat. In any case, the video showed the Zerg being ferocious, and those Mimic Aliens that humans regarded as terrifying beasts seed no different from lambs awaiting slaughter in front of them… although that was indeed the case.
After the video went viral, public opinion split into two camps, as Fang Zheng had expected. One side believed the Zerg were humanity’s saviors, here to eradicate the Mimic Aliens. This could be seen from the fact that they did not attack humans. Despite their frightening appearance, these creatures were humanity’s allies. The other side argued that both the Zerg and the Mimic Aliens were threats. The Zerg ignored humans only because they found them too weak to care about, considering the Mimic Aliens their true enemies. Once the Mimic Aliens were eliminated, humanity would likely face extinction!
Both sides had their argunts, and sotis they even arranged debates. Fang Zheng watched so of these debates out of boredom and found that opinions were split almost 60-40, with those seeing the Zerg as allies slightly outnumbering those viewing them as enemies. Regardless of their stance, both sides shared a common understanding: these creatures were not from Earth and possessed a level of civilization comparable to humans… which was sowhat accurate.
To Fang Zheng’s surprise, while he was idly watching the debates, a system notification suddenly chid in his ear. He saw a line of text appear before him.
[Campaign Mission Activated: Black and White]
[Justice and evil are not always black and white. As a Dinsional Mage, you must understand the trendous power you hold. Each of your actions will have profound effects—make the correct choice, and this mission will determine your next summoning faction]
“What the hell!”
The mission prompt almost made Fang Zheng throw his phone. What did this an? My actions would determine the summoning faction? Did it an that if I acted like a Saint Mary Sue here, then I would surely summon an Angel next ti?
Right now, I just want an Angel!!
For a mont, Fang Zheng really wanted to just go out and warmly tell everyone he was a cosmic good Samaritan here to save the world, reassuring them that they did it all for free, without expecting any reward, all in the spirit of learning from Lei Feng… Fortunately, he restrained himself. Fang Zheng then furrowed his brows and began to think carefully.
So far, I’ve done nothing wrong. The mission constraints are specific to this world, and my actions here have not hard human interests. Although Tom Cruise is dead, that was a result of his own long-standing bad habits. Apart from that, I have kept my distance from humans in this world, and as for those few thugs I killed… well, that shouldn’t count, right? After all, that happened before the mission was issued. You can’t punish soone based on Qing Dynasty laws for actions taken during the Ming Dynasty, right?
Despite so nervousness, Fang Zheng thought this shouldn’t impact the overall situation. After all, it was self-defense at the ti, wasn’t it? At worst, it was excessive self-defense. Even vegetarian monks practice martial arts to vanquish demons… Fang Zheng didn’t know if explaining this to his Dinsional Codex would help, but considering the importance of summoning either an Angel or a Devil next ti, he decided to be cautious. Although he currently had no Dinsional Points, he could accumulate them over ti. However, the opportunity to summon a specific faction was rare. If he ended up summoning a big troublemaker, Fang Zheng would really cry.
While the mission was important, Fang Zheng eventually set it aside. As long as humans didn’t bother him, he’d collect the alien boss core and leave with the Zerg. This process itself posed no problem.
What Fang Zheng needed to focus on was the war against the aliens.
After several battles, Fang Zheng understood why the Mimic Aliens in “Edge of Tomorrow” were called “Mimics.” It turned out they could change shape and imitate their enemies! In subsequent battles, Fang Zheng even saw Mimic Aliens in the form of Jumping Bugs and Flying Dragons!
This almost made Fang Zheng laugh to death.
He couldn’t understand how the brains of these Mimic Aliens worked. Zerg were strong, but their strength ca from swarm tactics. If they mimicked Sanctuary Warriors, he might worry, but imitating the Zerg was purely suicidal. Zerg could counter each other, but Zerg against Zerg was a numbers ga.
However, the Mimics only got the surface right; they didn’t grasp the Zerg’s exponential growth. Thus, they were beaten into a disastrous retreat. Frankly, Fang Zheng found it hard to believe that humans in this world had been defeated by such dumb aliens.
Although it seed like smooth sailing, the Zerg’s advance was slower than Fang Zheng expected. The reason was that while the aliens’ combat power was weak, their save-load chanism was sothing Fang Zheng had to pay close attention to. After so investigation and combat, Fang Zheng finally understood their fighting style—these aliens ca in three types. The regular soldiers showed off, the unique Mimics that Tom Cruise “gloriously” took down were interdiate units. If the core of the alien boss was the mainfra, these unique Mimics were terminals, linked to the mainfra and then to the soldiers. These “terminals” activated the save-load chanism, with the core mainfra sensing external affairs through them and initiating the save-load ability. The mainfra seed to have a limit, unable to control ti as freely as it wished.
Despite the satisfying battles, they were painstaking—Fang Zheng had to ensure that he bled each “terminal” to prevent desperate readjustnts. This made capturing these aliens alive a major hassle during battles.
It was like Cao Cao capturing Zhao Yun in “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” The soldiers knew they had to capture him alive, but Zhao Yun didn’t know that. Thankfully, the Zerg had a nurical advantage and fearlessness, which helped mitigate the situation.
Fang Zheng spent most of his effort on this, which was quite thrilling. Several tis, Fang Zheng thought he would face a reset, but he managed to pull through in the end.
Now, the Zerg had advanced to Paris, and Fang Zheng was prepared. He knew that the alien boss core was subrged in a pool beneath The Louvre. Once they captured Paris and retrieved the core, his main quest here would be accomplished.
However, before that, Fang Zheng received news from Mirune.
A group of humans had entered the Zerg territory… and from their appearance, it seed like they wanted to communicate with the Zerg?
