Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 146: Chapter 145: Conquest Mode Activated!

“Hunting?”

Although everyone had already vaguely guessed this, when they heard Fang Zheng say it, they still found it somewhat unacceptable.

You must understand, they are people, not animals. But now, were they being captured and hunted like animals?

“That’s right.”

At this moment, Fang Zheng had finally recalled what this world was about; he had seen this movie a long time ago. In fact, as soon as he saw the Ironblood Warrior’s face and the big braids, he had some impression of it. And now, Fang Zheng had finally remembered exactly what world his latest time travel venture had landed him in.

That world was — the New Iron-Blood Warrior, also known as Ironblood Warrior 2010.

...

The plot of this movie was actually quite simple: the protagonist and his companions are captured by the Ironblood and taken to their alien hunting grounds to be hunted, then the protagonist manages to turn the tables and triumph with the help of an Aura. Compared to the first and second movies, this plot didn’t offer much of a difference. The reason Fang Zheng recognized Big Nose was because this very Big Nose was the main character from the movie, Royce. Hmm… Fang Zheng had to admit, that memorable face had stuck with him; otherwise, he wouldn’t remember such an average popcorn flick to this day.

“The Ironblood Warriors enjoy hunting intelligent life forms; only the battle with intelligent beings can satisfy them, which is why humans are considered the best prey to them.”

As he spoke, Fang Zheng held the Sky-Cleaving Sword and pointed at the corpse of the Ironblood Warrior in front of them.

“Hmm… As you can see, they are large and move quickly, and they also possess the ability to become invisible. They enjoy pursuing their prey, and the blades on their arms are their weapons. They also have a type of Shoulder Cannon, whose power is not less than that of an RPG… the only drawback is that it requires aiming. You need to be alert at all times; if you see three little red dots, it means an Ironblood Warrior has targeted you, the right choice is to run immediately.”

“How do you know all this?”

After listening to Fang Zheng’s explanation, Big Nose immediately became suspicious. The appearance of Fang Zheng and Nymph was already very mysterious, and now he seemed to know these alien life forms’ combat method too? Just who exactly were they?

“You don’t need to ask about that, and even if you did ask, I’d have no obligation to tell you the answer.”

In response to Big Nose’s question, Fang Zheng spread his hands.

“Hmm… Actually, consider this my parting gift to you. From here on out, please do your best to survive. I have some matters to attend to and cannot accompany you any longer.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing what Fang Zheng said, everyone was shocked. Although they felt something was a bit off when he was giving a detailed introduction of the Ironblood Warrior just now, they were even more surprised to hear that he was about to leave. After all, Fang Zheng had already shown far superior strength than any of them and had easily killed such a terrifying alien life. Although his origins were a bit mysterious, it was at least safe to be by his side.

But now, he was saying that he was about to leave?

“You’re leaving? Sir, this…”

“I am truly sorry.”

Facing the dumbstruck protagonists, Fang Zheng smiled helplessly.

“I know what you’re thinking, but unfortunately, I have my own business to attend to, so I won’t be able to continue with you. I hope you all manage to evade the Ironblood Warriors’ pursuit and find your way back to Earth… So, we shall part ways here. Nymph, let’s go.”

“Yes, Master.”

At Fang Zheng’s command, Nymph nodded, glanced at everyone once more, and followed Fang Zheng as they left. Watching the two depart, the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment until someone finally thought to follow after them.

“Hey, wait, you can’t just leave like this, hey…!”

“Alright, stop calling out.”

Big Nose sighed helplessly and interrupted the others’ shouting.

“If they don’t want to stay, your calling is useless. Do you really think you can make them stay?”

“Uhh…”

Hearing what Big Nose said, everyone’s expression stiffened. Based on the display of power Fang Zheng had shown them just now, to be honest, even if they had guns… they wouldn’t be enough to stop him.

“What do we do now?”

Braids looked toward the direction where Fang Zheng and the others had disappeared, her expression complex, before turning her head back to face Big Nose and voicing her question. Faced with Braids’ question, Big Nose could only shake his head helplessly.

“What can we do? Fortunately, that young man didn’t leave us with nothing. At least we know the name of these aliens, their mode of attack, and characteristics. If everything he said was correct, then we might just be able to survive these Ironblood Warriors’ pursuit! As for what comes next, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!”

Big Nose was quite lucid; although he was also curious about Fang Zheng’s origins, he was more aware that their being sent here was not to uncover secrets. For them, surviving was the ultimate goal. If they could not survive, then everything else was in vain!

“We continue moving forward! Now that we know who the prime culprit is, I swear, I will make it pay the price!”

Big Nose continued on with their scripted mission with the others, while Fang Zheng took Nymph and left them far behind. Although Nymph had already told Fang Zheng that they were on an alien planet, Fang Zheng still proceeded with caution; after all, in his memory, whether it was from movies or games… the power levels involving aliens were quite terrifying, so it was best to be cautious until he understood what kind of world this was.

Now, having learned that he was in the Ironblood Warriors’ world, Fang Zheng immediately felt at ease.

Ironblood Warriors, huh? They’re just a bunch of weaklings.

Of course, if Fang Zheng were alone, he certainly wouldn’t dare call the Ironblood Warriors weaklings; as weak as they were, they could still traverse the stars, and their spaceships were still considerably large.

But… Fang Zheng had the Zerg!

No matter how formidable the Ironblood were, could they match the Divine Race? Ayr had fallen, and you’re bringing this up with me? Fang Zheng had previously been worried about finding a world for the Zerg, but now it seemed that the world of the Ironblood Warriors was perfectly suitable!

In the Ironblood World, the known apex combatants were the Ironblood Warriors. Fang Zheng didn’t know if Prometheus existed in this world, but even if it did, the technology of Prometheus didn’t seem to be much higher. At least none of the civilizational forces he knew in this world could compare with the top three of the Interstellar. Given enough time, the Zerg would become the sole dominators here!

And Fang Zheng felt no qualms about invading the Ironblood. The Ironblood themselves were no saints, always treating Earthlings as prey… It was time for them to taste what it felt like to be hunted!

“Ready.”

Having made up his mind, Fang Zheng quickly opened the Dimensional Codex, then selected the “Homeland” mission. Soon, a system prompt appeared before him.

[Zerg mission “Homeland” is about to be activated. Are you sure you want to choose this plane as the mission location?]

“Confirm!”

Upon seeing the system prompt, Fang Zheng immediately gave his answer. As he responded, the Dimensional Codex he held trembled violently!

“Boom!!”

In the next moment, a nearly five-meter tall oval-shaped black hole suddenly appeared. Immediately after, a string of information leaped before Fang Zheng’s eyes.

[Target plane confirmed for mission; “Homeland” mission activated]

[Conquest mode initiated]

[Mission target updated]

[The Swarm yearns for its own homeland, and you, as their overlord, must find them a place to thrive and multiply. Now, this new world shall become the Zerg’s nest (The mission is complete when the target planet is entirely occupied, with a conquest degree of 100%—Upon completion, this plane will transform into the Free World. Depending on completion, users will randomly receive +1 skill reward, fixed “Heart of the Swarm” skill)]

Following the mission information update, from the other side of the Teleportation Gate, Mirune’s figure appeared, stepping out slowly to stand before Fang Zheng, respectfully bowing her head.

“Master.”

“You’ve come.”

Looking at the Insect Matriarch before him, Fang Zheng nodded.

“As we agreed, I have found suitable land for the Zerg to settle. Starting now, I command the entire Zerg army to mobilize and completely occupy this planet!”

“Your will be done, Master!”
