Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 60 Seafood (please read more!!)

During the exploration of the northern foothills, Zero found a total of dozens of large and small pieces of land suitable for farming, and a limited number of builders led the excavators to work almost day and night.

However, even so, they couldn't keep up with the search speed of the explorers. When the explorers had already gone to the northern land to continue their investigation, they were able to complete the planting task of about [-] square meters in the central area.

Next, they will continue to go to the east and west to complete the work. However, because the planting areas in the east and west are very scattered, their small number is once again divided into planting teams. It consists of only builders and single-digit diggers. According to the size of the area in charge, different numbers of teams are dispatched to complete it.

However, this is not the focus of Zero's current focus.

The ant colony has long been familiar with the matter of planting crops, and after getting on the right track, there is no need for him to worry too much.

What he is most worried about now is the problem of food reserves.

As the days passed, the food stored in the cave was also decreasing day by day.

Ling Ye sent a small number of ants to explore the previous granaries, but it did not bring good results. In those granaries, either the stored grains were completely corrupted and could not be used at all, or they were buried very deep. , and the passage is completely destroyed. With the current strength of the ant colony, it is extremely difficult to even enter it, not to mention the problem of how much food is stored in it and whether it is corrupt or not.

In desperation, Zero had to give up this attempt and think of other ways instead.

However, at present, the entire island is really a waste of time, there are not even a few bugs, let alone birds.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, without the foundation of survival, naturally there will be no living things on the island, so there will be no food that the ant colony can directly capture.

This made Zero very anxious. Seeing that the food in the cave was decreasing day by day, but there was still no income, this anxiety was getting worse day by day.

In the midst of this anxiety, Ling thought hard and meditated for five days. He thought of a lot. He remembered the time when the ant colonies had no worries about food and clothing, the grassland where insects were buzzing in autumn, and the fruit trees on the grassland. And the stored grain buried in the ground that seems to never be eaten up.

In this constant recollection and thinking, he suddenly had an idea.

At the beginning, when the disaster came, He was leading a group of guards to "have fun" on the beach doing nothing.

He remembered that when the ant colony spread all over the island in the past, he could often see the coast through his own vision, and when the tide receded, many sea creatures would be left on the beach.

Some of them are large in size, such as fish that occasionally stranded, and some are small in size, such as small conch, clams and so on.

When I had nothing to do when I had nothing to do, I often led the ant colony to capture them. Although they could not bring evolution to the ant colony, this process of capturing was a good way of pastime.

However, today is different from the past. When the ant colony is in short supply of food, it is no longer possible to look at these creatures with the mentality of entertainment.

No way, maybe they will be the staple food of the surviving ants for a period of time to come!
However, there are still certain difficulties in catching them now. Some of them hide under the beach, and some hide at the bottom of rocks, which are difficult to catch. In the past, all of this is not a problem.Zero can easily lead thousands of ant colonies to overturn the entire land, and there is no way for them to escape.

But it is different now. With the current size of the ant colony, it is very difficult to complete this matter, and a long-term plan is needed.

After much deliberation, there was no other way, and in the end, Zero decided to use the remaining food to carry out an army expansion.

I can't bear the child not being able to catch the wolf.With the current number of guardians and assassins in the ant colony, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to hunt and kill seafood like this.

No matter how much food there is on the beach, if there is not enough combat power to catch it, then everything is a castle in the air.

In the end, Zero decided to double the existing combat power to reach the number in the early three hundred. In this way, he would also have the power to fight against some sea creatures exposed above the ground.

As long as this method is feasible, the ant colony can grow quickly under the battle of breeding and fighting, and those difficult places will gradually become easier.

As a result, within a short period of time, the ant colony's meager physical reserves were halved again, and it became even more stretched.So much so that Zero even stopped the explorers who were exploring outside and let them lie dormant among the ant colonies, waiting for this batch of warriors to hatch, which he almost used all the food he could produce at present.

If they can return with a full load in the subsequent battles, then it is not too late to go out and explore, if not, everything will stop.

However, judging from Zero's experience of leading ant colonies to prey on seafood countless times, the probability of failure is not high.

After all, they are not going to challenge any behemoths this time. Strictly speaking, they are just going to the beach to "pick up leaks".

It's just that this kind of "picking up the leak" may be a little more troublesome, because the person who is picked up will not be caught obediently.

Five days later, all the eggs had hatched, and everything was ready. Zero led the [-] ants with all their strength and left the cave, heading straight for the southern coast.

Because of the low terrain in the south, there are vast sandy beaches on the coastline there. Usually, fish and shellfish are often stranded.

And Zero's purpose this time is them.

In the southern part of the mountain range, the sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is rippling, but there are no insects or weeds swaying in the wind. There are only dead branches and rotten leaves and uneven ground, and there are even white spots visible to the naked eye on the ground. The salt damage shows what the land faced when the disaster happened.

Zero has no time to feel the sea view, let alone worry about the spring and autumn, and now he is very calm.

The past glory of the Ant Clan is in the past, and now the most important thing is to try our best to persevere until autumn, the autumn harvest.

And the occasional fish and shellfish that can be seen on the beach in front of you are the key to the survival of the ant colony!
Zero didn't waste time, the first time he found a stranded fish in a puddle, he led the ants and rushed up.

The tides come and go, Zero can't grasp their rules, maybe the next moment there will be another tide, and the trapped fish will be taken away, or maybe not, who knows?

The most important thing right now is to lead the ants to kill it!

　Thanks to the book friends [Resignation is just an outsider] and [The Wind Chime of Confusion] for rewarding 100 starting coins each! !I also thank everyone for the monthly tickets. There are many, so I won’t write names one by one, but I will keep them all in my heart (laughs).

　　That,,, when I was saving manuscripts before, I had a lot of brains and wrote some words that are unlikely to be practical in reality. It is a small transition before the ant race enters the ocean. I don’t know if everyone can accept it. ,,, novice is stupid and not smart, I hope everyone will not scold me tomorrow,,,, I feel uneasy.

　　In addition, everyone can give zero likes, dozens of hearts look at the pitiful 〃77〃
　　Three more tomorrow.
