Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 26 Occupation
The animals that were driven into desperation gathered in groups on the short cliffs, and some of them had already rolled down the cliffs. The cliff less than five meters did not cause them much harm, but the rolling black tide that followed was deep seriously threaten their lives.

Under the pursuit of the ant colony, the animals that fled into the forest will do nothing, and the animals that come to the edge of the cliff have absolutely no possibility of survival.

They either choose to swim through the turbulent ant colony that stretches for more than [-] meters, or they choose to jump into the sea and drown, otherwise they can only become food for the ant colony.

In the end, this group of desperate beasts chose to fight to the death. There is no doubt that they all turned into piles of white bones.

In just a few months, the ant colony seems to have been completely reborn. Their numbers have risen geometrically, and they have completed the counter-kill against opponents that were almost impossible to defeat before, including even the frogs that hunted flying ants wantonly before. He was also driven down the river by ants from the reeds.

However, they have not been wiped out, and there is also a small piece of land in the creek. As amphibian frogs, they can wait for the ant colony to recede there and climb back to the bank again.

However, this is no longer a threat to the ant colony, it can only be regarded as a trouble at best.

Zero wasn't going to pay attention to those frogs who escaped into the river and lingered on their last legs. He looked to the south.

It was the forbidden area where the ant colony led by the Zero Company had previously been. Every time an exploration team was sent to go deep into it, they would be killed by various dangers.

But now, Zero is not what it used to be. Today, he is sitting on a huge ant colony of more than 200 million, and Zero is no longer afraid of any threat.

A small number of flying ants that had been scattered before made their homes on the edge of the forest. Afterwards, Zero planned to send a large number of flying ants deep into it, constantly eroding the forest.

It is cool to dispatch an army of ants, but the delay is a bit long. Counting the time for assembly, the clearing of large animals on the grassland compared to the ant colony lasted for a week. During this time, apart from the corpses of these creatures, the ant colony has almost no income. The ants left behind can only meet the most basic needs of the ant nest, and cannot obtain food at all.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, Zero is not willing to easily assemble and dispatch an army of ants. He wants to erode this forest step by step by continuously sending flying ants.

After a thorough clearance, the entire grassland became much quieter.

The chirping of insects that was often heard in the past has almost completely disappeared. This is obviously because when the ant colony chased the animals, they did not let them go.

The cool autumn wind blows, only the rustling sound of grass blades rubbing against each other.

Due to the arrival of autumn, the aphids have been unable to provide a large amount of food for the ant colony due to the decline in production capacity. Fortunately, the large-scale establishment of the earthworm domestication field has played a role.

After large-scale construction and expansion, earthworm larvae settled in these domestication farms quickly, and the ants also carried out physical "education" for these young earthworms.

Zero's previous speculation was not wrong, earthworm larvae were indeed much easier to cultivate than adults.They easily accepted their fate and honestly provided a steady stream of food for the ant colony.

After the ant colonies actually occupy the entire northern grassland, the earthworm breeding grounds are bound to expand again.

However, this project will be carried out in winter. Today, the ants have two key tasks, one of which is to continuously infiltrate the southern forest, and the other is to quickly accumulate food for the winter when everything is ripe in autumn.

This year the fruit trees are fruiting again and are not ripe yet.However, the fruit trees planted by the ant colony in the past two years have been raised a lot.The ones planted last year grew to about thirty or forty centimeters, while the ones planted the year before were almost one meter long.

According to this progress, in a few years, they may be able to bear the first batch of fruits.

After completing the occupation of the entire grassland, the ant colony began to recuperate. Zero maintained the frequency of releasing about [-] flying ants to the forest every half a month. By the end of autumn, he had dispatched six batches of about [-] flying ants. Flying ants have entered the forest.

However, the queens who manage to take root in the forest are few and far between.

Of the more than 3000 flying ants, less than fifty succeeded.Moreover, this group of flying ants only settled down at the edge of the forest, and their development was very limited.

Soon, the harsh winter came again, and the zero and ant colonies all went into hibernation, hiding deep in the ground to open up paths for their nests to communicate with each other, and to build more and larger earthworm farms to relieve the ant colony. Food problems faced.

In the autumn, Zero planted dozens of fruit tree seeds again, hoping that they will take root and sprout in the coming year.

The unsmooth expansion of the southern forest made Zero feel a sense of crisis again. He knew that after the ant colony had gradually spread throughout the northern grasslands, if the entrance to the forest expansion could not be opened, it would mean that the development of the ants would encounter difficulties again. to the bottleneck.

Although Zero didn't believe that there was anything in the forest that could resist the growing army of ants under his command, the unsatisfactory expansion in autumn still cast a shadow in his heart.

"Maybe, in spring, I should send a large number of ground troops into the forest to clear the way for the flying ants." Zero thought.

This is indeed a way. As the sole master of the ant colony, he always believes that he shoulders the mission of growing the colony.

By now, the form is clear.At the moment when the ant colony cannot achieve food freedom, entering the forest is the only way to continue to expand the colony.

Therefore, no matter how many dangers there are in this land, Zero will lead the ant colony to defeat them.

In fact, in the past few years, with the help of the flying ants' field of vision exploration, Ling Yinyin has already thought that the place where the ant colony is currently located should be a larger island, not a peninsula protruding from the mainland.

The biome here is very simple, there are no large creatures at all, and the ecosystem is not complicated. Most importantly, except for the few birds I have seen before, Zero has never seen any other species of birds .

Therefore, zero judgment should be an island here.

Since it is an island, the land here will be completely occupied by ant colonies one day. When that time comes, where will the ants go?

This is the biggest worry in Zero's heart, but there are still large areas of mountains and forests in the south waiting for the ant colony to develop, so this problem is deeply hidden in his heart.

However, He has never given up thinking about this matter, including grazing aphids and raising earthworms, all of which are preparing for the difficulties that will be encountered in the future.
