Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 25 Expansion and Clearance

A large number of flying ants rushed out of the ant nest and went in all directions. Some of them formed teams with each other, and some formed groups, and went to the edge of the grassland, the lower reaches of the river, and the side of the forest to find places to make their homes.

Some flying ants even flew to the beaches in the east and the cliffs in the north, and what's more, they flew directly into the forest.

This time, they are not as scouts, but to put down roots here.

Three thousand flying ants flew past like locusts. Some of them became delicacies for birds, some became prisoners of spider webs, and some were swallowed by frogs.

But there are too many flying ants, even if they are consumed, countless flying ants have successfully arrived at the place they wanted to go, and quietly began to open their own nests.

Here they will lay eggs, hatch, and if all goes well, in a month at most, there will be a large number of ant colonies breaking out of the ground.

Two days later, basically all the flying ants released had their homes.About [-] of them found a suitable place to settle down, and the rest were lost during the flight.

After releasing this batch of flying ants, Zero did not stop expanding.

Since the last reflection, he is no longer satisfied with the current efficiency. As long as the food is sufficient, he will release a batch of about [-] flying ants every half a month. These flying ants will serve as a supplement before, go to They make their homes where they did not occupy.

Three months later, the grassland has entered midsummer.Under the hot sun, batches of selected heat-tolerant aphids lie on the grass blades, sucking greedily.On the grass neck behind them, there are also a few huge soldier ants lying on their stomachs. They are "aphid herding ants" and are responsible for grazing aphids.

Within three months, the entire grassland in the northern part of the forest, except for the frogs near the river, has been completely occupied by sporadic ant colonies, and the ant nests are rapidly opening up the channels between each other.

In three months, including the [-] flying ants released for the first time, Zero has released more than [-] flying ants in total!
Most of them were lost in the process of building nests, but even if a small half successfully built ant nests, it was a terrifying number!

Thousands of nests cover a wide area including the beaches in the east and the low cliffs in the north and west.

Some of them have established a firm foothold and have begun to establish contact with each other, while others are fighting fiercely with the local indigenous insects.

It can be said that the whole north of the forest, ant colonies are everywhere.

Currently, Zero is planning an expulsion of large animals on the grassland.Because of their existence, it interferes with the normal activities of the ant colony to a great extent.

For example, when grazing aphids, rabbits or roe deer will suddenly come out and stuff the young grass leaves into their mouths to eat.

Another example is the pasture where the ant colonies rely on to graze, sometimes they all die inexplicably, and Zero finally finds out that it is the ghost of the rats.

While digging holes in the ground, they bite off the roots of the grass, directly causing the grass to die in patches.

Zero hated the feeling of being harassed in a stable life, so he decided to organize a group of teams to launch an expulsion campaign against various mammals on the grassland.

This is a bold attempt, and it is also a decision that can only be made after Zero got out of the misunderstanding and changed his mentality.

This is not zero's whimsy. You must know that during these three months, according to Zero's incomplete statistics, there were more than a million ants on the entire grassland, and this number is still growing rapidly.

The number of millions is enough to drown creatures like rabbits and mice.

Another month later, more ant colonies gained a firm foothold in the local area, and the number of the entire ant colony once again swelled to more than 200 million.

The food problem that plagues the ant colony will not come until the ant colony expands to the limit of the entire land, and under the efficient command of Zero directly targeting the queen, the ant colony gathers extremely quickly.

The ant colony within the "Second Ring" quickly gathered more than [-] ants through the underground passage within half a day. The ant nests outside were not connected by fast passages, so the speed was much slower, but only after three days. , under Zero's command, millions of ants assembled on the eastern beach.

The whole beach is far away from the sea from south to north, and there are all neatly assembled ants on the black ground. They stand quietly in place as if they have no thinking.

In the sky, there are also flying ants, the number of which exceeds [-].

Looking back at the beginning of the year, the number of ants in the entire ant colony was only four times this number.

The flying ants will be the vanguard and guides for this ant colony clearance operation.

The reason for choosing the beach in the east is that the terrain is the lowest here, and when an attack is launched from here, the frightened animals can only flee to the cliffs in the north and west, or to the forest.

It doesn't matter, Zero's goal is not to kill them, but to make them disappear in this land.

It doesn't matter to Zero whether it disappears in any way.

After the ant colony completed its assembly, with Zero's order, millions of ant colonies swept away from east to west.

The first thing they cleaned up was the area north of the river. Along the way, wherever the ant colony passed, all surface creatures fled in panic.

Several birds hatching their young on the grass also let out a helpless cry.The ant colonies unceremoniously accepted their children and turned them into their own food.

In front of this dark cloud on the ground, even if they only stay on the ground for a while longer, there will be countless ants covering their bodies, burrowing into their feathers fearlessly, biting their eyes and all fragile organs. place.

If they can't fly away in time, even they will die here.

The sweep will not stop anywhere until it is completed. All the way straight up, the ant colony is almost chasing hares, roe deer and other creatures, driving them to the edge of the cliff step by step, or driving them into the forest.

Some unlucky eggs were even directly blocked in the nest by ants. In the narrow space, they could only struggle to escape from the entrance of the cave. However, the entire piece of grass had already been covered by the ant colony. There is no escape.

The non-stop attack of the ant colony quickly consumed their physical strength, and soon, these unlucky eggs lost all the soft tissue on their bodies, and within a few minutes after that, they only had piles of white bones left.

This is the horror of an ant colony. In front of an ant colony of this size, any bird, any rabbit, even a tiger or an elephant will run away with their lives!
