Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 68 Storm (please read more!!)

People often say that extreme joy begets sorrow, and that misfortunes never come singly, which is really very reasonable.

Time passed day by day, and when the logistics ants were working in full swing, and Zero was also happy that more land could be effectively used, a sudden storm interrupted all of Zero's deployments.

At the beginning, it was just that the wind blowing over the island was stronger than usual, and Zero didn't care, but as the wind became stronger and sand and rocks began to fly on the island, he finally felt something was wrong.

At this time, Zero actually didn't realize that this was the precursor of the storm, he only thought that it was going to rain heavily, and there had been a lot of heavy rain on the island in previous years, which was very similar to this situation.

In order to prevent accidents, he had some reluctance to stop all the work of the ant colony outside and return to the cave, preparing to escape the heavy rain.

And precisely because of his actions at this time, most of the ants were lucky enough to avoid this accident.

Of course, this is a later story. At this time, Zero has not realized the seriousness of the problem, because in the past ten years, he has never seen a storm on the island, so he has no experience to draw on.

It wasn't until the violent sea wind blew more and more violently without any signs of weakening that he finally realized that something must have happened again.

Zero sent a guard to venture out, sticking to the gap of the mountain wall and going up, and finally came to a small stone platform near the top of the mountain, where the wind speed is higher, the guard tried his best to fix himself on the platform with his head and feet Above, Zero looked east, where there was an obvious anomaly.

At the intersection of the sea and the sky in the far distance, an endless and huge dark cloud was folded upside down on the sea surface like a huge cover. In just a few minutes, the dark cloud had obviously pressed towards the island, and water droplets the size of beans began to fall from the sky, hitting the rocks with crackling sounds.

"?!!!" Zero couldn't help but want to curse.

He confirmed that this is indeed a storm on the sea!

"Has this place been cursed recently?!"

Just less than two years ago, the ant colony had just experienced an earthquake and huge waves, and Zero almost died because of it.

The difficulties he faced after that made Zero feel that it was a fluke that he was able to survive smoothly.

After more than a year of development, until now, the ant colony has just breathed a sigh of relief, but what is the situation?
It is really difficult for Zero to maintain a peaceful mind. He does not understand why in the past ten years from when he woke up to when the ant colony dominated the entire island, although he has experienced some violent storms, he has never encountered After any catastrophe, I even thought that the location of this island was a unique paradise for survival.

But from the year before last, it seemed that I had a fleeting disadvantage, and all kinds of bad things happened to me.

First, the earthquake and tsunami almost completely destroyed the ecosystem of the entire island, almost killing the ant colony.

After two years of hard work and development, he finally took a breath. He is gearing up to build a fish farm, trying to solve the biggest obstacle restricting the development of ant colonies again, but why is there a storm all of a sudden?Have you run out of luck for so many years?

He is really depressed.

However, there is no way to be depressed.

When disasters come, people will not have the right to choose. He can only choose to endure and face the reality.

All the ant colonies entered their nests, trying their best to protect themselves from the storm. Zero sent out a few strong guards to keep an eye on the storm's movements.

However, this kind of observation is not very useful, because as the center of the storm is approaching, the sky is full of mist, and the torrential rain pours down like water pouring from the sky, and the outside guards will soon be unable to observe any information— —They have been washed away by the current.

Unlike tsunamis, under normal circumstances, storms will not cause a large amount of seawater to pour into the island, but will only roll up everything that can be rolled up, causing extremely serious damage to the environment on the island.

Of course, unless it was an extremely unlucky situation, the center of the storm happened to pass through this island. If that was the case, anything was possible, even if the sea water submerged the island again, Zero would not be surprised.

However, he wasn't worried about this, and things shouldn't develop to this extent.

Because judging from the direction the storm is heading, it should be moving from the northeast to the southeast of the island, and will not pass directly over the island.

However, even so, because the distance is too close, even if it is on the edge of the storm, the entire island will inevitably suffer.

In the following time, an indescribable gust of wind swept everything that was not strong enough on the island and flew into the sky, flying sand and rocks, trees with broken roots, all of them had to be swept into the sky and became part of the storm.

Zero led the ant colony to hide in the caves and nests, silently listening to the continuous whistling of the unprecedented storm outside, feeling heavy in his heart.

The crops planted in spring are bound to fail.

The first phase of the fish farm, which took months of hard work, is absolutely unlikely to survive.

Even if the members of the ant colony were basically unharmed, after the storm passed, the difficulties he would face would be even more serious than when he experienced the tsunami last year!
After all, although it was very difficult at that time, the size of the ant colony was also small, and it was relatively easier to feed them. Even if they were hunting fish and insects on the beach, they could still survive.

And now, what else do I have?In order to deal with the seagulls, he just used the food in the reserve warehouse not long ago to hatch tens of thousands of ant air combat units!

This move not only consumes a lot of food, but in the future, unless Zero directly makes the ant tribe cannibalize, they will continue to consume the food that the ant colony is running out of.

Originally, the remaining food could only guarantee the ant colony to wait until this year's autumn harvest, and then they could get another batch of stored food to support the ant colony through the cold winter until the next autumn harvest.

In this plan, the most important part is the existence of the strategic granary, which can reduce the risk of risky behavior of the ant colony, which only has enough food to barely survive, so as to develop fully, within a controllable range.

But now, with a battle with seagulls, food reserves are once again unsustainable.

Zero remained silent, all kinds of emotions churning in his mind.

Is it really necessary to streamline some ethnic groups?
He is not willing to treat the ants as simple creatures and let them kill each other.

But now, there seems to be no other way...

　emmmmm, there are so many follow-ups, speed up the pace,,, ready to go to sea...
