Zerg evolution road

Chapter 72 Ice Age
"It seems that these creeps won't survive this winter." Although they have been strengthened, these creeps are still afraid of the cold.

Looking at the increasingly cold weather, Zhang Fan also had to do some preparations.

The brood has stopped hatching the larvae, and all the worker bees began to move the creeper into the brood as a food reserve.

Gaia couldn't stand the weather, and had already returned to her nest at the foot of the mountain.

This brood is the largest nest in the entire northern territory, covering a very large area, so the food reserves have become very rich.

Snow began to fall in the sky, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Fan still remembered the first time he saw snow in this world, when he was fighting with the Golden Feather Ant King in the grassland.

After the blizzard, it will always bring you good luck.

However, the weather in the northern region is a bit special. There are ice cubes mixed in the snow, and many worker bees who were still carrying food were crushed to death.

In desperation, he had no choice but to stop the carrying work, and let all the soldiers of the Zerg return to the brood, and the only ones still outside were the magma worms.

At first, Zhang Fan wanted to save it, but it didn't take long for the big guy to freeze to death after it snowed.

"It's fine if you freeze to death, at least you can save some food." Zhang Fan comforted himself.

The weather was still getting colder, and there was already thick snow on the ground, and then the real north wind began to howl.

After the first gust of north wind howled, Zhang Fan had lost everything outside the northern border.

It seems that a gust of north wind will freeze the whole world.

It's still warm in the brood, but the big eyeball outside has been frozen to death.

Gaia was bored in the center of the nest, which was the warmest place: "Father, how long do you think this winter will last?"

Zhang Fan shook his head: "I'm not sure about that, we don't know anything about the environment in the northern border."

Gaia said boredly: "It's really troublesome not being able to go out."

Zhang Fan: "Be patient, be patient and pass."

The weather is still getting cold, and the channel of the brood has been blocked by snow. This is not possible. The channel must be opened, otherwise there will be a lack of oxygen.

So, both the springtail worker bee and the hydra lurker spider began to dig the tunnel, trying to clear the snow.

The snow is really thick, and it is mainly mixed with ice, so it is more troublesome to clean up.

It was not easy to open the passage, and there was a gust of north wind howling, and all the troops near the entrance of the cave were frozen into ice sculptures.

Gaia also shivered involuntarily, it was really cold this day.

The weather in the south also began to get colder, and Adam began to move south. At this time, like the north, the ground was frosty and then snowed.

Everything feels the same as in previous years, this is Zhang Fan's own opinion.

But he did not expect that this year is the coldest year, commonly known as the Ice Age, and it is also the year when the Cambrian era opened. The reason for this is related to the sun's activity.

The solar activity cycle, called the solar magnetic activity cycle, is a quasi-periodic change in the number of sunspots and other phenomena, which will cause changes in the air and some substances on the ground, and may even change the climate.

The coming of this ice age happens to be when the number of sunspots on the sun increases, so the weather will suddenly become extremely cold.

In the early years, there were some omens, but Zhang Fan has never noticed, he is not an astronomer, and there is no special research on this in Cerebral Worms, so he still thinks that this is a very ordinary winter .

The sky in the northern region has cleared up. It's not that they don't want to snow anymore, but that there is no snow to fall in the sky, so they can only let the north howl wildly.

Gaia anxiously found Zhang Fan: "Father, we made some mistakes in our calculations, and the food reserves may not be enough."

Zhang Fan's heart sank and he said, "How long can it last?"

Gaia: "There are still a few months, but you can see that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the temperature is still dropping, which is beyond common sense. If this is the case, the snow may not melt in the coming year. Dad, I have to make some decisions .”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath: "You are right, I have to make some decisions."

Time ran by every minute, and Gaia was anxiously waiting for Zhang Fan's decision. Finally, Zhang Fan said in a deep voice, "Let's clean up one-third of the food that eats a lot first."

Gaia: "Understood, Dad."

Gaia felt that she was in great pain, and there were bursts of heart-wrenching pain in her heart. These are her own family members, her own tribe, and now she has to let them die in order to survive.

Those Zerg soldiers who were sentenced to death had no complaints, they chose to remain silent, and after an order, they quickly crawled out of the nest and ran towards the outside.

Every time, Zhang Fan would lose their perspective, and they would be left forever in the snow.

The ice sculptures symbolize the cruelty of this snow disaster.

The ruthless snow disaster not only occurred in the north, but also devastated the south.

Adam didn't know why, the snow this year was more violent than previous years, and some broods had starved to death due to insufficient food reserves.

In this regard, it has nothing to do now, but to resign itself to fate.

Adam estimated the time. According to the past time, it should have just started snowing at this time, but now the snow is gradually moving further south.

Adam reported the information on the south to Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan was shocked all of a sudden.

He didn't expect that the snow would fall so heavily.

"Adam, you continue to move south. If necessary, you are allowed to make special decisions." Zhang Fan felt a little uncomfortable.

Adam's mood was also very painful: "Master, Adam Adam understands."

The weather is still getting colder, and Gaia feels extremely cold in the brood. Of course, in this case, the priority is to protect the brain worms.

Zhang Fan made up his mind this time, let the Zerg race kill each other, and then smeared some crushed exoskeleton powder on Gaia's body to protect him from the cold.

Break the exoskeletons of the worker bees and bring them close to Gaia for warmth.

Gradually, Gaia should feel that his head is not working properly, and he especially wants to doze off.

"Gaia, go to sleep, hibernate well, and pass this winter safely, I will watch over you." Zhang Fan said softly.

Gaia didn't even have the strength to open her eyes now: "Old... Dad, then I'll go to bed first." The voice was still trembling.

At this moment, Adam's anxious voice reached Zhang Fan's mind: "Master, it's bad, many hatching pools have froze to death."

Zhang Fan now shifted his perspective to the south again: "How many hatching pools are still alive?"

Adam: "Master, not many, most of them are in the south, but Adam is very worried."
