Juggernaut: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 94 Hatchery 【Please subscribe! ! 】

Regarding the issue of food, Ling Dao was not too worried.

Over the years, out of a sense of crisis, he has stored a lot of food. Based on the current food storage of the ant colony, they will not have the risk of food shortage in a few years.

In this disaster, the ant colony suffered heavy casualties, and the number has been reduced to less than half of the original.

However, judging from the current situation on the various islands, it is unknown when it will be a year or a month before production resumes, so he does not need so many ants to participate in the labor.

However, this does not mean that He did nothing.

If you just sit and eat the mountain, no matter how much food you have, there will always be a day when you will run out of food, but the pollution in the sea and on the island does not know when it will dissipate.

Although there may not be a disaster like this time in a short period of time, Zero is no longer willing to wait any longer.

Therefore, setting off again to find a new home must be put on the agenda immediately.

During these years, while the ant colonies lived on the archipelago, Zero never let go of the exploration of the outside world, but nothing was discovered, but a lot of hydrological information such as various reef undercurrents and coral reefs were recorded.

Now that information could come in handy, providing outposts for colonies that continue to explore.

However, unlike the previous four-sided netting, this time because of the submarine volcanic eruption, Zero can only choose to explore in the same direction.

north!

The center of the volcanic eruption must be in the south. The further south you go, the more serious the pollution will be. As for the east and west, Zero thinks that the situation here should be almost the same as here. You can send a small team to try your luck, but don't worry too much. hope.

Then, going north has become a key exploration area, and these pollutions have indeed reduced Zero's entanglement a lot—if there is really land in the north.

No matter how much food the ant colony has, it will be eaten sooner or later, but the pollution on the sea surface does not know when it will disappear.

If the ant colony still cannot find new land before the food runs out in the future, and the pollution on the sea surface has not faded, then Ling can only take a risk and find a direction to lead the ant colony to desperate.

However, based on zero estimates, if the volcano does not erupt again in the short term, the pollution should not last for as long as a few years. And the self-purification ability of the atmosphere, the water quality replacement should be completed soon.

Of course, this speed is relatively speaking, at least it must be more than half a year, and if it is longer, zero cannot be estimated.

The ant colony started a large-scale exploration of the sea again, but Zero didn't pay too much attention to them, but turned his attention to the bug.

It's not that he is really bored, but that the worm turned into a bigger egg after eating free food for so long!

The reason why it is said to be an egg instead of a cocoon is because the appearance and material of this egg are exactly the same as before it hatched, but it is several times larger in size!
Moreover, such a huge shell was not formed by the silk of that worm.At that time, Zero watched it blow this thing out of his abdomen like blowing bubbles, and put himself in it!
Perhaps this should be called a chrysalis?or something else?He doesn't know.

It is not uncommon for the second cocoon to form a cocoon, and this kind of situation often happens in the ant clan.But for this bug, which is of extraordinary significance to the ethnic group, he is really a little uncertain.

He continued to pay attention to this "egg" until it moved again.

It's completely different from the last time. The incubation time this time is obviously much shorter. It's only eight days, and the process has already been completed.

Zero looked expectantly at the constantly rising and falling egg, as if the egg itself was breathing.

After gradually rupturing, the contents inside were completely unfolded, revealing a strange-shaped object.

It looks like a kind of building. The main body is relatively large, occupying about five or six square meters of space. Like a house, there are passages leading to the interior on all sides. However, there are raised walls around it. The meat ball, with sticky liquid on it, looks quite disgusting.

Seeing a lot of odd-shaped things in Zero doesn't feel disgusting, it just feels weird.

"What the hell is this?"

He was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would get an answer after that, although it wasn't the answer he wanted.

The answer was not in the form of voice, but directly appeared in Zero's mind, just like brain wave information.

"Energy, food."

Zero didn't know if the original meaning of this simple message was like this, but when it reached his mind, it naturally became like this.

"Well, the two hatchings require food as soon as they appear!" Zero complained, but this is normal, presumably, whether it is cocooning or hatching, this kind of behavior must consume a lot of energy, and eating as a supplement is a must. necessary.

Of course food is not energy, at least not the kind of energy in Zero's understanding, but food is rich in sugar, which can provide energy!

Zero saw that the food placed in the channel by the builders of the ant clan was quickly decomposed by a kind of mucus secreted by this special bug, without even leaving any residue.

Just as Zero was looking at these passageways expectantly, he received another message.

"Energy, food."

If Zero had an entity, he felt that his face must have turned black.

He gave it a batch of food again, but it was still not enough.This bug is like a repeater, always talking about energy and food.

Zero let the ant colony move in a large number again. This time, finally, he didn't hear the bug repeating like a repeater.

Finally, after absorbing the food, Zero saw a familiar egg rolling out of this "building".

"Hatchery?" A thought flashed through his mind, then quickly dissipated, and his attention returned to the egg.

It really came out after a thousand calls!Zero couldn't help sighing like this.

The reason why he said it was deja vu was because this egg was exactly the same as the previous egg except that it was an order of magnitude smaller in appearance!
And completely different from before.

In just a few minutes after it appeared, the egg had hatched, and a similarly familiar insect crawled out of it!
Zero felt that he suddenly had a headache, this scene seemed familiar.

I saw that the worm was exactly the same as the one before the change in appearance, except that its size had shrunk a lot.

"Let's see what it has." Zero made up his mind, if this bug is like the previous one, and finally circulates to give himself the ultimate nesting doll, he will let the queen try what this bug is. smell.
