Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 73 The Bigger Ant Queen

Fifteen days later, under the gaze of Zero Surprise, these eggs actually hatched in the cave!
Zero was not sure what kind of biological eggs they were. Although he saw those strange fish bouncing from the small hole under the rock and turning back into the sea water, but because these eggs were stored in a completely dry environment , and the surface is completely dry, and they are not connected together like ordinary fish eggs, so Zero thinks that they may not be the eggs of those fish.

And if these eggs are not produced by these fish, then these fish must have some special motives for putting in so much effort and effort to get into the small hole.

However, these things are not important. During this period of time, Zero didn't think about this issue at all. He was just waiting for these eggs to hatch, that's all.

But now, this batch of eggs has really hatched successfully, which is undoubtedly a surprise for Zero.

On the one hand, he has a certain curiosity about these eggs, and wants to see what they can hatch.

On the other hand, the re-evolution of the queen requires the organisms hatched from these eggs.

To be precise, it should be that the evolutionary factors existing in their bodies are needed to complete the evolutionary needs of the queen ants.

He stared curiously at the growing eggs on the ground.But then, the creature that emerged from it surprised him.

Because their appearance is completely different from all the creatures that zero has seen, it looks very weird.

Of course, all creatures that have undergone mutation will be different from the original existence, or their body size will become larger, or their limbs will become longer, and so on.Over the years, Zero has seen many weird creatures.

But this creature is quite different.

They obviously have the head and body of a fish, whether it is fins or gills, everything is available.

However, four thick giant salamander-like legs grow strangely under their bodies, and they can breathe directly on land!

In this cave, to be precise, under the illumination of the gemstone on the top of the cave, all the eggs will be different from the original body when they hatch.

But they all have a common feature, that is, no matter how their abilities and body shape change, their overall structure will not be much different from the original.

And what is this that hatched this time?It obviously looks like a monster with four different faces!

"Is this caused by a mutation? Or..." Zero felt a little more knowledgeable. He had never seen such a creature that was forcibly spliced ​​together by the Creator.

"No, no, no!" He paused, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind.

"They didn't mutate like this. All the creatures that have experienced mutation here don't have such exaggerated changes, but they are in this form. If it's not caused by mutation, then it can only explain-they were originally It's almost like this!"

After reaching this conclusion, he looked at this strange creature again, only to find that it didn't rush at the ant colony like the creatures hatched before, but turned around and threw the eggshell it had crawled out of. Swallowed it all into his mouth.

Then, under Zero's shocked eyes, this strange monster-like little guy unexpectedly spit out a non-transparent white "bubble" like a bug's cocoon, and quickly wrapped himself in it. Among them, he remained motionless after that, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zero was shocked again.

Are there such creatures in the world?It has the head and body of a fish, but has the legs of a salamander. At the same time, it seems to have changed again just after hatching!

What kind of monster is this? !Originally, I thought the evolution of the queen ant was unimaginable enough, but I didn't expect this kind of creature to make him gain insight.

However, the facts were before his eyes, and in the end, he could only sigh that the Creator is truly miraculous!
After the other eggs hatched, they did the same thing, but Zero was no longer surprised.

He just quietly waited for them to break out of the cocoon again, to see what else could crawl out of it.

Zero was ready to face yet another completely different monster.

However, this time Zero was disappointed.

Another five days later, the first "bubble" burst, and a small fish almost identical to the previous strange fish struggled in the bubble, desperately trying to get out, but there was only dry air outside, and no Without much moisture, it tried its best to crawl out of the cocoon, but it could only roll feebly on the ground. At the same time, it desperately opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of mutated teeth!
It's a pity that no matter how sharp the teeth are, it can't change the fact that there is no water here, and the only thing waiting for it here is death.

A few minutes later, Zero looked at the dead fish in front of him and fell into deep thought.

This one is exactly the same as those fish that came out of the hole back then!This is indeed the egg produced by that fish!

They turned out to be a kind of fish that lay eggs and reproduce in the dark environment on the shore!

Moreover, at first birth they were apparently an amphibian, and soon afterwards developed rapidly again to become fully aquatic, only to lose their lives for the loss of the amphibious advantage of being able to survive on shore.

Thinking about it, their original normal growth process should be that adult fish go ashore to find a suitable place to lay eggs, and then return to the water.After these eggs hatch, they crawl out of the small hole in the form of amphibians, return to the water, undergo another development, and finally become a real fish.

"But, why is it similar to cocooning?" Zero expressed confusion, why did they become adults in this way?Isn't this the way insects develop?
He was puzzled, maybe there were too many things in this world that he didn't understand.

However, this is not important, what is important is to let the queen ants eat their corpses to see if they can evolve again!
This is related to the evolution of the ant colony. Compared to this, even a little curiosity was left behind by him.

…………

The builders worked tirelessly to divide the corpses, and thoughtfully sent them to the queen, who was very inconvenient to move.

Under Zero's instructions, the queens devoured the food in front of them.

After that, they didn't live up to zero's expectations. After only two days, after a frantic feeding, they started cocooning again.

Moreover, judging from the size of the cocoons this time, when they crawled out, they would definitely not be too small.

Counting, this is already their fifth cocoon evolution, so this time, they took quite a long time.

After three full months, the ant colony has successfully completed the second phase of construction of the aquaculture farm under Zero's instructions. After the construction of the diversion channel is completed, the main part of the farm can be completed, and the next step is to place it in it. "Seed" too.

It was at this time that the cocoon the size of a basketball in the cave finally moved.

Zero kept paying attention to this place, and turned his gaze at the first time.

Although he had been somewhat prepared for the queen's change, he was still taken aback when the newborn queen squeezed out of the cocoon.

Because that really squeezes out!
Such a large cocoon could not allow them to stretch their bodies at all, and it wasn't until after the cocoon was squeezed out that Zero saw their whole picture.

And his first feeling was big!
