Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

The early morning wind blew distant smoke, and Zero waited in the camp for a fire that might suddenly ignite.

But He was destined to be disappointed.

The strong wind in the forest made the fire roar, and the fire once soared into the sky, becoming quite unstoppable.

But not long after, a heavy downpour fell from the sky, extinguishing all the sparks in the forest.

During the heavy rain, Sass commanded the swarm to defeat the last lizardman territory in the rain, completed the cleanup of all lizardman settlements in the jungle, and seized a large amount of food.

The new Zerg camp was built on the old site of the lizardfolk residence, and the fire in the middle of the jungle did not have any impact on them.

But now, Zero's attention to them has been reduced a lot. He is more concerned about every abnormality where he is currently. Even under the heavy rain, he has never relaxed his vigilance.

Unfortunately, no discovery was made until the rain stopped at midnight.

Zero still did not let down his guard. This time he was determined to find out the cause of the fire out of thin air, otherwise it would be a huge hidden danger sooner or later.

He didn't want to endure this unknown attack and had to figure out what it was!

Based on his analysis of the lizard boy, it is very likely that the other party will take action again. This time, he will mobilize all the Zerg vision in the entire camp to cover the jungle and strive to master every detail.

The minutes passed by, and Zero remained focused.

In the past many years, He rarely compressed his vision to a certain area like he does now, and observed the details with such concentration.

Zero has shown him the utmost respect. It depends on whether the lizard boy is willing to support him.

Sommer woke up from a nap, walked out of the cave where he temporarily lived, looked at the dark clouds in the night sky, and did not move for a long time.

He is thinking.

The flames erupted by the bugs seemed to have their own fuel, and they were not afraid of water. But it was difficult for them to find the right direction to approach the Zerg camp under the heavy rain, and the dense rain would also minimize the threat of fire, so he did not take action in the first half of the night.

Sommer's method is actually very simple. During long-term observation, he found that this insect is extremely fond of rocks in dark environments like underground rivers. Therefore, he used this to make a simple stone "box" to bring A group of insects he called "firebugs" emerged.

Before, he should have taken these bugs back to the Zerg camp where his former residence was located, and burned all these disgusting bugs together with the tiny mosquitoes.

But halfway through, he spotted the Zerg army running at high speed in the jungle from a distance.

Following the direction they came from, he successfully found the Zerg base camp where Sass was. At that time, the third batch of Zerg swarms had just set off.

The hatchery like a cancerous tumor stood on the forest plains, surrounded by thousands of bugs, with eggs constantly hatching from it. Coupled with the main force of the bugs dispatched from here, Sommer felt that he should be Found each other's lair.

Therefore, after he completed the layout at the previous location, he changed the first attack target here without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he used the firebugs he brought out to build a simple timing device outside the outermost defense line of the Zerg. As soon as the time came, the stone box containing the firebugs would be opened, exposing the bugs inside.

Others may not be able to grasp the distance of the Zerg's outermost defense line, but for Sommer, it couldn't be simpler.

Even in the dark, he could clearly see every mosquito nearby, and could tell where this invisible line was.

After arranging all this, he left quietly. In order to prevent the fireflies from rushing towards him after being unblocked, he had to keep enough distance.

Once these bugs are exposed to such an open environment, they will automatically look for the nearest creature, and then set themselves on fire!

This time, of course, Sommer would have to repeat his old tricks.

He was sure that the ugly insect swarm would not realize this, so he had no scruples. And even if they realize it, so what, the nearby beasts and birds have already been frightened away by the Zerg. As long as these bugs are released, they will only go in the direction of the Zerg.

With his ability, as long as he is cautious enough, they can't do anything to him.

Indeed, the main force of the Zerg is completely absent. If Sommer is not discovered, he can easily do this. Afterwards, he hides in the vast jungle. Unless Zero can fill the entire jungle with explorers, it will be difficult to find him.

But finding him wasn't Zero's goal, although he did want to find him.

What Zero needs most is undoubtedly to eliminate this form of attack that is difficult for the Zerg to guard against. Of course, if it is possible to capture this special lizard boy, he will also know everything he wants to know.

But it's not easy to do this. Although Sommer had actually caused some trouble to Zero and the Zerg, Zero had never seen him again since that night.

Whether it was the densely populated explorers in the jungle or the warriors on the periphery, there was no trace of him at all.

He felt that maybe the other party noticed something and deliberately hid his whereabouts.

From the lizard man's memory, he didn't find anything special about this young man. He just had amazing archery skills and was a unique hunter.

But being able to attack the Zerg in the jungle without leaving any trace of oneself is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

That's why Zero thought that maybe the lizard boy named Sommer had discovered the existence of the Explorers, knew that they were the informants of the Zerg, and deliberately avoided them.

Even so, it's definitely not a simple matter. Easier said than done, it is a miraculous skill to accurately identify explorers and the most common mosquitoes in the jungle with similar body shapes and appearances, while perfectly avoiding Zero's field of vision.

A person's energy is limited, and he cannot pay attention to every detail around him all the time. With the brain capacity of a lizard man, it is certainly impossible to receive and process such a huge amount of information all the time.

Even zero can't do this. Although he does have the vision of all individuals of the Zerg, he will not personally analyze and process everything that happens in the vision of every Zerg. Zero plays more of a storage and recording role in this, unless it is a comparison. Things that are eye-catching and noteworthy, otherwise even He would not be able to discover them in the first place.

Just like this incident, the reason why he wants to focus his vision here is to carefully observe and analyze every abnormality. Within this scope, he can still do it with his current ability.

…………

The clouds that have not dispersed after the rain have made the entire jungle dark, and the starlight is obscured by layers of clouds. Coupled with the obstruction of the jungle, in the extremely weak light, only the shadows on the top of the jungle in the distance can be distinguished from the sky. It is definitely not an easy task to move forward in such an almost completely dark environment.

But even in such an environment, Sommer still walked on flat ground, looking at the darkness in front of him as if it were nothing.
