Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 110
In the jungle after the rain, there is a unique smell of soil, and the morning air carries a trace of sweetness unique to the woods.

In the humus accumulated by deciduous branches on the ground over the years, a group of ants crawled quietly. Just after the heavy rain, they need to repair their nests and continue to go out to hunt food.

In the jungle, there is never a shortage of various insects, and they can occasionally encounter berries, so ensuring the food supply of the group has always been easy to do in the past.

But today was different. The foraging team encountered a life-and-death crisis as soon as they set off.

A huge black shadow flew past their heads, and its sharp legs smashed into the ground around them. Although they didn't bring any casualties to them, they caused quite a mess.

They scurry around like headless chickens in an instant, however, this is just the beginning.

Next, one after another, continuous black shadows, accompanied by the sound of their feet being inserted into the humus, quickly passed over their heads and headed into the distance.

In the process, this poor team of ants was completely dispersed, and it was not until a long time later that these black shadows finally disappeared.

At this time, the ants had already spread far away.

However, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. In the process of finding their way back, a few of them found the "compensation" left by these shadows.

It was a trace of flesh and blood, accompanied by continuous blood stains that seemed to have been cut open, spreading from the original path to the distance!

This is undoubtedly the food they need!No complaints, certainly no gratitude, since food is found, take them back to the nest, feed the queen and larvae, that's all.

The Zerg warriors skimming through the jungle didn't care about the ants under their feet at all. They just returned to the camp with the prey they caught this time.

In essence, they are no different from these ants.

Once upon a time, Zero also commanded the ant colony, just like the ants at this time, diligently looking for food, working hard to transform the environment, and developing in a more and stronger direction.

In a dream for decades, the weak ants now have such a huge body. With the advantage of huge numbers, they can even pose a threat to the life of most creatures on this planet. The insect-eating ants race away.

And their current enemies are already unimaginable existences at the beginning. They have developed brains, can use tools and weapons, and can easily use the forces that were no different from natural disasters for the original ant colony, such as water and fire.

But for today's Zerg, they are no longer enemies that can threaten the survival of the race.Even, under the attack of the Zerg, whether they can save themselves may not be able to do so.

Yes, after careful consideration, Zero finally decided to lead the Zerg to launch a surprise attack on the lizardman's territory, grab enough food from them, and let the Zerg completely gain a foothold on the mainland.

And these warriors who prey everywhere are working hard to breed more Zerg.

If someone can look down from the sky at this moment, they will find that from the ocean to the forest, from the sea area to the plain, no matter in the sea, on the beach, or between cliffs, or even inside and outside the forest, everywhere There are only insects active.

Only a few transported animal carcasses from the forest, and more warriors and engineers transported the caught fish from the sea!
On the beach, there are thousands of meters of cliffs from south to north. At a glance, it seems that there are engineers and warriors transporting food everywhere, densely packed.

They were in groups, tense and orderly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times. They took food from the water, crossed the beach in an orderly manner, inserted their sharp legs into the cliff, and climbed up quickly.

The food was carried by the Zerg, climbed from the beach all the way across the cliff, arrived at the Zerg camp, piled up the food, and was finally consumed by the hatchery.

Today, in the Zerg camp, if you look down from the top, you will see that the hatcheries are like huge dark tumors, growing on the outermost edge of the forest, and even spreading towards the jungle.The original grass there has long since disappeared, except for the crops deliberately planted and protected by the Zerg, there are only dense insects.

Near the jungle, there are still a large number of Zerg engineers trying to remove the obstructing trees in various ways, and continue to expand the usable area of ​​​​the camp.

Under the food supply of the warriors in the ocean who are exhausted and fishing, eggs are produced one by one in the camp, and then hatched in batches. After eating and growing quickly, they transform into adults again.

They are either engineers or warriors. Once they break out of their cocoons, they can immediately join in the journey to obtain food, filling up the already somewhat crowded camp.

This process lasted for several days, and during these few days, Zero was also closely observing the movement in the lizardman's territory through explorers.

Maybe it's because they are confident enough in the team they sent, maybe it's because they feel that the time is too short, or maybe it's because Sass' previous strategy of not letting a lizardman go away has worked.In short, the other party showed a calmness beyond zero expectations.

But it doesn't matter, if they don't come to look for the Zerg, Zero will lead the Zerg to meet them.

With more and more Zergs on this limited land, in the jungle, an increasingly large Zerg army is quietly gathering!

The supply from the ocean has no intention of stopping at all. Zero completely sacrificed the predatory fish in the offshore, in exchange for a Zerg land army with a number of more than [-]!

Zerg units in the ocean need to be constantly supplied with supplies before they can get enough food from the Lizardfolk.

For this reason, the fish and shrimp near the coast were almost eaten by the Zerg!
In order to alleviate the food pressure he was facing, and at the same time, to temporarily solve the trouble of the lizardmen, Zero decided to strike first, announcing his existence to this race that ruled the continent for the first time!
The mobilization of the Zerg brigade startled the birds in the forest, and at the same time aroused the vigilance of the Lizardmen.

On the sentry tower, overlooking the flocks of birds that flew up in the distant mountains but hadn't landed for a long time, the lizard warriors on duty immediately became vigilant.

In the jungle, this phenomenon happens from time to time, but most of the time, it is when the birds return to their nests in the evening.

And now...

He looked up at the scorching sun above his head, his expression solemn.

This is very unusual, there must be something running in the forest, and it can attract his attention from such a long distance, and it is not small!

This was the first reaction from his heart.

And when he found that the abnormality of the birds in the forest was rapidly spreading towards him, the expression on his face gradually changed from serious to dignified, and finally, he slammed the warning bell beside him. Gong!
The harsh sound of the gong alarmed all the lizardmen in the territory, and they all knew what it meant.

A large group of enemies are rapidly approaching the territory!

After a moment of stupefaction, everyone's expressions changed drastically.Although the gong had never sounded since they entered the jungle, when it really sounded, no one doubted the authenticity of the information it represented.

The soldiers in the territory immediately rushed to the wall with full armor to assemble, and all the people returned home to wait for dispatch. When the gong sounded, it was a state of war!
They have just occupied this land not long ago, and they are very familiar with this set.

However, everyone underestimated the enemy they faced this time, or in other words, they didn't even think about what kind of existence their enemy was!
The movement in the jungle is getting closer and closer, until it approaches the hill where the territory is located, it suddenly splits into two pieces, and surrounds the territory.

Obviously, Zero is still adhering to the consistent choice, try not to let one go!
The lizardman witnessed all this, but could do nothing about it.

They have urgently mobilized all the combat forces that can be mobilized at present. These lizardmen are either holding bows or steel knives and standing on the wooden fence, watching the birds flocking around them from afar. The atmosphere is gradually depressing. What is the enemy coming from the depths? It's just that the instinctive fear in my heart is slowly rising, getting heavier and heavier.

After losing nearly a hundred fighters, the current combat strength they can muster is less than two hundred. Although there are still many young men in the rear, they are still civilians and cannot be of great use.

In order to deal with them, the Zerg mobilized more than [-] Zerg warriors, just to complete their work in one battle!
The dignified atmosphere spread over the wall, and as the movement in the jungle below the mountain in the distance became more and more obvious, until finally, even on the wooden wall hundreds of meters away, they could clearly hear the noise coming from the forest. An unnerving noise.

When the first warrior rushed out of the jungle, this solemnity turned into panic in a very short time!

Because behind it is a huge dark shadow spread by the Zerg.

A strong sense of oppression spread from the shadows in front of him to the surroundings, rolling towards the lizardman's territory.

On the wooden wall, a young lizardman warrior showed fear, looking at the rapidly approaching insects, his hideous appearance and cold eyes that only looked like madness and killing all made him feel terrified.

He looked stiffly at his equally nervous teammates around him, and at the sharp steel knife he was holding in his hand, the fear in his heart surged like a tide!

His legs began to tremble slightly, and then developed to the whole body, his pupils constricted, his mouth and tongue became dry, his breathing became short of breath, and the claws and fingers that used to hold the knife steadily became uncontrollable.

Like most higher mammals, this is a sign of extreme nervousness and fear!

As the Zerg army approached quickly, the fear in the Lizardmen's hearts spread like wildfire, and it was out of control.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that the bugs flooding in front of them like a tide were definitely not something that 200 people like themselves could resist!

At this time, it is obviously too late to organize the civilians in the territory!
The warriors moved forward at a fast speed, and they were almost under the wooden wall in just a few seconds. During this time, the Lizardman's crossbow bolts shot two rounds of arrows here and there, basically causing no casualties to the Zerg.

As the ferocious-looking Zerg arrived at the wall, they raised their heads and jumped onto the wall. After a few jumps, they rushed to the wooden wall, and they had already lost their chance to launch.

Seeing the ferocious and terrifying real face of the Zerg warriors at such a close distance, the impact shocked the nerves of every lizardman. They screamed, roared and tried to hold the weapons in their hands tightly, trying to finish killing this group of ugly bugs. However, the huge numerical advantage allowed the Zerg to break through their defenses in just a few breaths.

The few lizardmen warriors suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived were quickly overwhelmed by the warriors who followed. Some collapsed and wanted to escape, but were thrown down by the warriors from behind in the next second.

The Zerg swarm smashed their outer wall defenses at a speed that the Lizardmen had no time to react, and the large number of civilians inside were even more unable to stop the Zerg from advancing.

The warriors who poured into the territory from all sides of the wooden wall were like demons descending into the world, and captured here amidst screams and wailing.All the Lizardmen, including the so-called Jungle Barons, were killed by the Zerg or badly wounded and captured alive.

Compared with turning into a corpse, those Lizardmen who were seriously injured but survived will face a more miserable ending, and they are not necessarily luckier than the former.

But whether they live or die, they are the trophies of the Zerg, and they have no right to choose. This is their fate.

In addition, Zero also obtained what he wanted from the lizardman - food.

In the granary in the territory, he fulfilled his wish and pocketed enough grain to sustain the current Zerg for several years.

If all of them were used to hatch Zerg warriors, it would be enough to expand the current number to as many as [-] in a short period of time!
So far, if counting the engineers as the logistic arm and the many marine units responsible for predation in the ocean, Zero already has a huge insect swarm with a total of more than [-], which can fully supply its daily consumption.

Among them, the warriors with a number of more than [-] are undoubtedly the largest main army of the Zerg on land. In addition, although thousands of engineers are used by Zero as a logistics arm, they are not without combat power at all. The degree is not necessarily much weaker than the Warriors.

The complete victory of the war against the lizardman's territory this time can be regarded as laying the foundation for the Zerg's development on the mainland, and Zero can truly lead the Zerg to gain a firm foothold here.

Moreover, under the thunderous offensive of the Zerg, it almost miraculously completed the complete annihilation of the Lizardmen in the entire territory!
This also means that the existence of the Zerg will still not be discovered by the main body of the lizard people civilization, and they are still hiding in secret without making a sound.

But on this point, Zero is doomed to miscalculate.

In fact, the Zerg did not let go of any lizardmen in the territory at that time, but this does not mean that all the lizardmen in the territory have been wiped out by the Zerg.
