Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 104 Settlement 【Subscribe! ! 】

Zero did not choose to disturb the group of lizardmen, but let the warriors retreat slowly, and a few explorers carefully landed near them, responsible for monitoring their every move.

In the jungle, this group of lizardmen moved cautiously and quickly. Not long after the warriors retreated, they came to the position where the warriors were observing them.

The lizardman at the head noticed the abnormality in the vicinity almost instantly, and immediately made a series of tiny voices that Zero couldn't understand at all.

Zero guessing, this keen lizardman hunter must have discovered traces of the warrior's existence and was calling for his companions.

Facts have proved that his guess is correct. After he made that series of sounds, several lizardmen in the rear quickly gathered with him.

The lizardman at the head pointed to the marks left by the warrior's feet on the ground, and a group of people surrounded them, seeming to be whispering something.

Zero couldn't understand, but this didn't prevent him from guessing.

He felt that they might be discussing what kind of creatures left the traces on the ground, or asking each other if they had left similar traces here.

Obviously, the lizard people should communicate through the transmission of sound waves, or in other words, communicating through sound is at least one of their communication methods.

This method of communication is much less efficient than the method of communication between Zero and Sass, but in Zero's thinking, this is indeed a common and effective form.

Zero continued to observe them through the hidden explorers. After discovering the traces left by the warriors and having a brief exchange, they did not stop and continued to explore, but the range of movements was much smaller. Obviously An alert has been raised.

Zero still did not disturb them, but followed quietly.

But I saw that they continued to explore for a certain distance along the traces along the way, and then gathered again, discussed something, and then turned around and returned the same way.

Zero doesn't understand the body language of these lizard people, but still guesses that their current state is probably a relatively negative emotional expression.

Because after seeing them exploring along the footsteps left by the warriors and gradually discovering more traces, he had already expressed this emotion.

Zero guesswork, the emotion should be worry.

On the way back, they were obviously not as energetic as when they came, and their movement speed was much slower, and they were no longer as agile as when they came. In other words, they seemed to lower their vigilance when they returned. This should be this road they have explored before. over reason.

Zero still let the explorers follow them, and never missed a step.

They passed the place where they found the traces of the warrior, and finally walked deeper into the jungle, Zero commanded the explorers to follow.

After advancing for a long time, they passed through dense and complex jungles, and finally, they came to a mountain range.

This is a mountain range located deeper in the jungle, with rolling mountains and lush greenery.

The lizard people finally came to a mountainside here after trekking through the jungle.The mountain slows down here, and finally forms a wide slope that is roughly sloping upwards and has a large area.

On the slope, there are a large row of unnatural buildings.

From the explorer's field of vision, they could see that they used sharpened wooden stakes as a wall to enclose a large area, and there were watchtowers on the wall, and there were lizard men with weapons patrolling vigilantly around.

There are many wooden buildings in the wall, and there are many wooden buildings among them.He commanded dozens of explorers to carefully climb in from a remote part of the wall, and found that there were many lizardmen active in it, including old and weak, women and children. According to a rough estimate, there were two to three thousand people !
Obviously, this is a settlement of lizardmen!

With such a large number, it is unlikely that they lived by hunting. Hunting cannot sustain such a large population. They must have other sources of food.

With the return of this suspected hunting team, Zero saw the same teams from other directions gathering towards the settlement. Some of them brought some wild beasts or small animals, and some returned completely empty-handed.

The explorers continued to go deeper, and at the rear of the settlement, Zero discovered land suspected of being planted with crops.

It is unknown what kind of crop it is, but it is certain that it is not the kind that Ling brought from the island, and it must be a plant that can provide energy for the lizardmen.

With the explorer's current size, it is no longer suitable for ostentatiously searching in this kind of place, so many zeros failed to get information, and several of them were killed by the lizardmen during the period.

They showed some surprise to the explorer, a big bug they had never seen before, but they didn't seem to care too much, after all, they never made any attack.

However, once discovered, the explorers still cannot avoid the fate of being chased and killed. This can also be understood by Zero. After all, if other creatures appear in the Zerg's own territory, even if they do not pose any danger to the group, Zero will Will try to control them as much as possible, or kill them directly.

Therefore, He didn't overreact to their killing of the explorers, but only let the remaining explorers hide on the spot after receiving certain information.

At the same time, in the ant tribe's nest, the first-generation explorers who had disappeared in the ant tribe's history for a long time were put on the production line again, and a large-scale incubation began.

During this period of exploration, Zero discovered that there is a tiny flying insect in the jungle that feeds on the blood of animals, which looks very similar to the first generation of explorers.

Disguising the small first-generation explorers of the ant tribe as this flying insect should not arouse any suspicion. At most, it will be considered a new species of mosquito in the jungle.

On the other hand, Sass' preliminary analysis of the Ant Race air unit has also been completed.

But there is a problem here, that is, the film-like flying wings of the ant race seem to be unable to support such a huge weight of the Zerg warriors, and Sass does not have the support of other samples, so this time, it did not come up with a new one like the engineer. plan.

Obviously, Sass' plan to transform the Zerg should have failed this time. This is not because it is not smart enough, but because it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, after learning the specific reason, Zero had a new idea.

Since the film-like wings cannot support such a huge body of the Zerg to move in the air, then perhaps the fleshy wings similar to birds may be able to.

If a bird's wing is used as the experimental material, its intelligence should be able to inspire.

But this matter is not in a hurry, because although the Ant Tribe has a large number of air units, at their speed, it is still a bit too overwhelming to actively chase birds in the air.

After thinking about it for a while, the most ideal way is to find the bird's nest directly and snatch the chicks from the nest.

Unlike the ant tribe, which continues to cocoon and develop after the larvae are born, birds grow from fledglings to adults, and there are more changes in body shape, and there are not many special organs or structures formed during this process.

Therefore, the body structure of most baby birds is not much different from that of adult birds, so for Sass, the two should be able to replace each other, even if not, with its ability, as long as it is inspired, it will eventually Should also get results.

　Fourth more.
