I Am the Swarm

"Some people collect wealth, some enjoy power, some have special hobbies, or other things. In short, most expatriates are looking for some kind of spiritual satisfaction. When material things are no longer When we are troubled, in the long years, we always have to pursue something so as not to be lost." Hummings said earnestly.

"Then, Hummings, why did you seek an assignment? Wealth, power, or something else?" Cecil asked casually.

"Haha, this question is quite private..."

"If it's hard to say, forget it."

"If you say this, if the old man doesn't say anything, it will be as if the old man has some special hobby." Seeing Cecil with a smile on his face, Hummings shook his head and continued:

"Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. As I said just now, everyone who seeks an assignment has their own needs, and the old man is no exception. The old man has lived for thousands of years, although most of the time he spent in the dormant cabin I spent it, but I have been awake for hundreds of years. This age is already close to the limit of the old man's original race."

"In these years, what kind of wealth and rights should be enjoyed by the old man. It stands to reason that there is no regret, but intelligent creatures are born with a fear of the unknown. Death, for us, It is the existence of the unknown.”

Hummings' voice was much lower: "Therefore, when the time limit is approaching, all I want is to live a few more days. But how can the life limit be broken so easily? With so many races, Over the years, the exploration of the upper limit of life has never stopped. But their methods all have more or less flaws, and it is difficult to overcome."

"And the flawed life prolonging method usually has very serious consequences. The most typical example is the former Ji clan, but it is precisely because of this that we are now. Although this result is for us It’s not bad, but it can’t cover up the disadvantages of existing life extension methods.”

"Originally, the old man didn't report any hope. He only planned to enter the dormant cabin to sleep at the last moment and linger on for a few more years. But there is no way out. At this time, the old man received a piece of information. In a remote area, a A small clan that has not yet formally joined the Star Sea Alliance has developed a life-prolonging potion with no side effects."

"The old man's first thought was not to believe it. Covering tens of thousands of star systems, more than 200 powerful civilization races, and our most powerful Ji family, there are things that countless elites can't handle. There is only one star system. How can a small clan that has been occupied by others manage to get out of it?"

"However, idleness is idleness, so the old man glanced at it a few times. I didn't expect that this life-prolonging potion really has something. But at this time, the old man still doesn't believe that a small country clan can make anything good. So, just In my spare time, I allocated a little bit of energy to focus on this life-extending potion."

"It makes sense why so many people want to be the elders of the Ji Clan. The old man only paid a little attention, and then there was a lot of information and experimental data fed back. Through these things, the old man found that the original village clan did not exceed the Recognition, the reason why they can come up with such things as life-extending potion is entirely due to a special plant. The so-called life-extending potion is just the extract of this plant."

"This discovery, on the contrary, instantly raised my attention. Compared with the kind of rural group that I have never heard of, the uncanny workmanship of nature is more trustworthy. The universe contains everything, and there may be life-extending plants that have no side effects. , and at this time, it has been found by us."

"Speaking of which, you should also understand why the old man is fighting for this expatriate position."

Cecil nodded to show that she understands that this reason is very appropriate, and she has her own channel, what Hummings said and his performance are all in line.

However, some more detailed information can only be accurately stated by the parties themselves.

"So, Hummings, is there anything you need?"

"Of course." Hummings's old face barely squeezed out a few creases, and it seemed that talking about this topic made him feel a lot happier. "The life extension plant is really amazing. It can achieve the purpose of life extension by increasing the number of cell divisions of organisms. Although its applicability is not strong now, its future is bright."

Cecil nodded in understanding. Sometimes a discovery can open a blocked road. Just like intelligent creatures in ancient times, they could only rely on ready-made things such as simple stones and branches to make items. But after the discovery of metal, subsequent various smelting, manufacturing, etc., took root and sprouted on this basis.

And this life-extending plant is equivalent to a foundation, although it is now like an ore exposed on the surface of the planet, making it impossible for people to start. But as the research progresses, tall buildings can always be built on it.

"If you think about it, you understand its value." Seeing Cecil nodded, Hummings continued: "This discovery has made many people jealous, but this old man will not leave. The old man will guard this place and will not let any game come to us." Slow down research progress.”

"How is the current research progress?"

"Not bad, but recently the old man has made a new discovery."

"Oh, what a discovery, can you share it, Hummings?"

"Of course, but this discovery is not a good thing in my opinion. The life-extending plant of the Riken Tribe actually came from the Zerg Race, which made me wonder whether it is a product of nature or a product of the Zerg Race."

As if hearing a certain key word, Cecil's eyes lit up instantly, and his waist straightened slightly: "Oh? Zerg? A powerful group in the alliance should not have such a name."

"Yes, this is just a small remote tribe. They just finished a pecking war with that Riken tribe." Hummings shook his head, as if thinking of something funny.

"Then their strength doesn't seem to be strong. How can you doubt that life-extending plants are the product of this level of civilization?" Cecil asked curiously.

"Cecile, you don't know. Although the overall strength of this Zerg is not strong, it is extremely mysterious. Can you imagine a civilized race, which has only appeared for more than a hundred years, and has developed to the point where it can fight a war across the galaxy What? Moreover, he won the battle and occupied half of the territory of the hostile forces."

"How is this possible? Could it be that some races interfered? Some kind of experiment they did? This kind of behavior is forbidden." Cecil exclaimed.

"It would be great if this is the case, that Zerg came out of nowhere, and we didn't even have time to bury the spaceship for them."
