Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 34 Changes (please read more!!)

This queen ant has become incompatible with all the ants, but fortunately she still has the aura of a queen ant, so she won't be attacked by the ants as a different kind.

Zero immediately made a lot of observations on the queen ant, and in the following month, he gradually understood the changes that had taken place in the queen ant.

One is that her body has grown significantly, which is obvious, and even now she can no longer climb out of the narrow passage of the ant nest.

The impact of her larger body also increased her food intake. Correspondingly, her efficiency in hatching ants increased to about five times that of the original!
This means that he can replenish the ants lost by his own group faster, and the upper limit of the ant colony that this queen can control has also been greatly increased, from the original one thousand to five thousand.

In addition, it is also the point that surprised Zero the most.This queen ant no longer needs to combine with male ants to produce offspring, she can complete this process alone!
Ling sighed inwardly, the male ants in this ant nest may be about to lose their jobs.

In the end, Ling was delighted to find that the ants she produced were also very different from the original ant colony.

Like the Queen Ant, the size of these ants was larger than that of ordinary ants of the same species, and their color became much lighter, from the original dark black to gray with a hint of blue in it.

And most interestingly, the temperature range in which they survive has expanded.

The original ants can only move in an environment above ten degrees Celsius, but after a zero test, the ants produced by this queen ant can survive in an environment as low as zero degrees Celsius. Only after the river is completely frozen, they activities are significantly restricted.Moreover, the expansion of their body size has also greatly improved their combat effectiveness. In the battle with ordinary soldier ants, they easily won the victory.

Although it seems that these ants are obviously not comparable to the "special forces" sent by the group of termites in terms of cold resistance and combat power, there is no doubt that the combat power of the two is very close!
These ants are in a sense no longer the same species as the other ants in the nest.Apart from the same breath and similar appearance, they are completely different.

For the appearance of this kind of result, Zero is happy to see it. Except for the unemployed male ants, no ant in the ant nest has suffered a loss.

This is undoubtedly a mutation, and Zero cannot give any explanation for this sudden mutation. The only thing that is certain is that this queen ant has indeed undergone a mutation, and at present, it is still a kind of opposite A very favorable mutation for an ant colony.

As for the price, it was just a dozen insignificant corpses of invading termites, and there were tens of thousands of such corpses in the granary of the ant nest!

Zero suddenly wanted to replace all the current ants with this kind of mutated ants, but reason also came back to his heart in an instant, stopping this impulse.

One is that this kind of mutation or evolution time is still short, whether there will be any shortcomings is unknown, and there will be some risks in rushing to complete the transformation.

The second is because there are more than 400 million ants of various types in the current ant colony. If you want to completely replace them, first, it will cause a lot of food loss in a short period of time. During the war, Zero had stockpiled a large amount of food.And most importantly, what to do with the original ants?Let them kill themselves or fend for themselves?Zero can't do it.

There is still a long way to go when Zero sets a decisive battle with the termite race. During this process, the ants will continue to accumulate food ten times, twenty times or even more than the current daily consumption of the ant colony. This is a very long time. In the process, there is little time to observe whether this mutated ant has any defects. If there is no problem, he also has time to slowly complete the blood exchange of the entire ant colony!

And it turns out that Zero was right to be cautious.

When the hot summer came, this group of ants who could adapt to the low temperature immediately showed strong discomfort.

They cannot climb out of the nest to move around under such hot sun, they can only stay in the ant nest.

"Sure enough, misfortune and fortune depend on each other..." Zero sighed.

This unknown mutation gave this group of ants a strong body and more fierce combat power, and also gave them the ability to adapt to severe cold, but at the same time, it also deprived them of their heat resistance.

Compared with the limited mobility in winter, at present, Zero Geng needs ants to find more food in the hot summer to accumulate resources for future decisive battles.

"From this point of view, the current mutation seems a bit tasteless, so let's put aside the matter of the ant colony's blood exchange for the time being." Zero thought so.

"Perhaps, in the future, I can choose to start a war in autumn. In this case, this kind of ants may come in handy."

"Compared to their consumption, their stronger combat power can more effectively reduce the number of termite populations, and they are undoubtedly good war machines." Zero found a position for their future after thinking.

In addition, this incident of queen ant mutation also made Zero vaguely aware of some special information about the termite race.

Presumably, they must also be due to some factors that caused the queen to mutate, which can explain why the number of termites is so large and there is no sign of fighting on their own, and it can also explain why there is such a strong fighting force. And the ant colony, which is not afraid of the severe cold at all, launches a surprise attack on the ants in winter.

They cannot leave the forest on a large scale, and it may be some kind of side effect of this mutation.

"There must be some kind of factor that can cause them to mutate in the termite colony, maybe it's one thing, maybe it's something else, in short, this factor must exist!" Realizing this, Zero's tone Also brought a touch of fiery.

Since a long time ago, he has always felt that ants have very strong mobility, but their weak and small size makes this mobility only available in a small range, which makes it difficult for many of Zero's ideas to come true.

But now, he unexpectedly discovered clues about mutation and evolution within the termite colony. The other party must spare no effort to eliminate it. Either you die or my living enemy!How could this not excite him?
"No matter what, you must hold this kind of thing in your own hands!" Zero thought firmly.

This is not only caused by Zero's greed, but also the key for the group to get rid of the size and physical limitations. As long as you have this ability, it will mean that the ant colony has unlimited possibilities from now on!What rivers, forests and even the sky and the sea will open their arms in front of Zero!
Thinking of this, Zero couldn't help feeling overwhelmed!I wish I could lead the army of ants to wipe out the termites immediately, and hold the secrets hidden by them in my own hands!
　Daily requests, hehe.
