Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Zero did not choose to alarm the group of lizardmen, but asked the warriors to retreat slowly. Several explorers carefully landed near them, responsible for monitoring their every move.

In the jungle, this group of lizardmen moved carefully and quickly. Soon after the warriors retreated, they arrived at the position where the warriors were observing them.

The leading lizard man noticed the anomaly nearby almost instantly, and immediately made a series of tiny sounds that Zero could not understand.

Zero guessed that this keen lizard man hunter must have discovered traces of the warrior's presence and was calling his companions.

Facts have proved that his guess was correct. After he made those sounds, several lizardmen behind him quickly gathered with him.

The leading lizard man pointed at the marks left by the warrior's feet on the ground, and a group of people gathered around them, seeming to be communicating in a low voice.

Zero couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from guessing.

He felt that they might be discussing what kind of creature left the traces on the ground, or asking each other whether they had left similar traces here.

Obviously, lizard people should communicate through the transmission of sound waves, or in other words, communicating through sound is at least one of their methods of communication.

This method of communication is much less efficient than the communication method between Zero and Sass, but in Zero's thinking, this is indeed a common and effective form.

Zero continued to observe them through the hidden explorers. After discovering the traces left by the warriors and having a brief exchange, they did not stop and continued to explore forward, but their movements were much smaller. Obviously The alert has been raised.

Zero still did not alarm them, but followed quietly.

They continued to explore along the trail for some distance, then gathered together again, discussed something, and then turned around and returned to the original route.

Zero didn't understand the body language of these lizard people, but still guessed that their current state was probably a relatively negative emotional expression.

Because He had already revealed this emotion after seeing them exploring along the footsteps left by the warriors and gradually discovering more traces.

He felt that this emotion should be worry.

On the way back, they were obviously not as energetic as when they came, and their movement speed was much slower. They were no longer as agile as when they came. In other words, they seemed to have lowered their guard when they returned. This should be because they had explored this road before. reasons.

Zero still let the explorer follow them without missing a step.

They passed by the place where traces of the warriors were found, and eventually walked deeper into the jungle, with Zero directing the explorers to follow.

After advancing for a long time, passing through dense and complex jungles, they finally came to a mountain range.

This is a mountain range located deeper in the jungle, with continuous mountains and lush green mountains.

After a trek through the jungle, the lizard people finally arrived at a mountainside here. The mountain gradually slows down here, eventually forming a wide slope that roughly slopes upward and is not small in area.

On the slope, there is a large row of unnatural buildings.

Through the explorer's field of view, it can be seen that they used sharpened wooden stakes as walls to enclose a large area. There were also sentry towers on the walls, and lizardmen with weapons patrolled the surroundings vigilantly.

There are many wooden buildings among the walls, including many wooden building structures. He commanded dozens of explorers to carefully crawl in from a remote part of the wall, and found that there were many lizardmen moving around, including old, weak, women and children. According to a rough estimate, there were two to three thousand in number. !

Obviously, this is a lizard people settlement!

With such a large number, it is unlikely that they make a living by hunting. Hunting cannot sustain the survival of such a large population. They must have other sources of food.

As this suspected hunting team returned, Zero saw similar teams gathering in other directions towards the settlement. Some of them brought some wild beasts or small animals with them, while others returned completely empty-handed.

The explorers continued to go deeper, and at the rear of the settlement, Zero discovered land suspected of growing crops.

The specific kind of crop is unknown, but it is certain that it is not the kind that Zero brought from the island. It must be a plant that can provide energy for the lizard people.

With the explorer's current size, it is no longer suitable for searching in such places without hesitation, so Zero failed to obtain information in many places, and several lizardmen were killed during the process.

They expressed a certain amount of surprise at the big bugs like the Explorers that they had never seen before, but they didn't seem to care much. After all, they never made any attacks.

However, once discovered, the explorers still cannot avoid the fate of being hunted. Zero can understand this. After all, if other creatures appear in the Zerg's own territory, even if they do not pose any danger to the group, Zero will Will try to control them as much as possible, or kill them directly.

Therefore, He did not make any overreaction to their behavior of killing the explorers. He just asked the remaining explorers to hide on the spot after obtaining certain information.

In the ant nest, the first generation of explorers who had disappeared for a long time in the history of the ant colony were put back on the production line and began incubation on a large scale.

During this period of exploration, Ling discovered that there was a tiny flying insect in the jungle that lived on sucking the blood of animals and looked very similar to the first generation of explorers.

Disguising the very small first-generation explorer of the ant tribe as this kind of flying insect should not arouse any suspicion. At best, it would be considered a new species of mosquito in the jungle.

On the other side, Sasse's preliminary analysis of the ant aerial units has also been completed.

But there is a problem here, that is, the film-like flying wings of the ants seem unable to support such a huge weight of the Zerg warriors, and Sass does not have the support of other samples, so this time, it failed to come up with new ones like the engineers. plan.

Obviously, Sass's plan to transform the Zerg this time should have failed. This is not because it is not smart enough, but because it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

But after learning the specific reason, Zero had a new idea.

Since the film-like flying wings cannot support such a huge body of the Zerg in the air, then maybe the fleshy wings similar to those of birds can.

If the wings of birds are used as experimental materials, given their intelligence, they should be able to inspire something.

There is no rush in this matter, because although the ants have a large number of aerial units, with their speed, it is still a bit overestimating their capabilities to actively chase birds in the air.

Ling thought for a while, and the most ideal way was to find the bird's nest directly and snatch the chicks from the nest.

Unlike ants, whose larvae continue to form cocoons and develop after they are born, birds grow from fledglings to adults, with more changes in body shape, and not many special organs or structures are formed during this process.

Therefore, the body structure of most chicks is not much different from that of adult birds. Therefore, for Sass, the two should be able to replace each other. Even if not, with its ability, as long as there is inspiration, it should eventually You can also get results.

The fourth update.
