Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Large numbers of flying ants poured out of the ant nests and headed in all directions. Some of them formed teams with each other, some formed groups, and went to the edge of the grassland, the lower reaches of the river, the side of the forest and other places to find places to settle down.

Some flying ants even flew to the beaches in the east and cliffs in the north, or even flew directly into the forest.

This time, they are not serving as scouts, but to put down roots here.

Three thousand flying ants flew past like locusts. Some of them became delicacies in the mouths of birds, some became prisoners in spider webs, and some were swallowed by frogs.

But there were too many flying ants. Even if they were consumed, countless flying ants successfully arrived at the place they wanted to go and quietly began to open their own nests.

They will lay eggs here, hatch, and if all goes well, a large number of ant colonies will emerge after up to a month.

Two days later, almost all the released flying ants had found their homes. About eight hundred of them only found a suitable place to settle down, and the rest were lost during the flight.

After releasing this batch of flying ants, Zero did not stop expanding.

Since the last reflection, He is no longer satisfied with the current efficiency. As long as there is enough food, He will release a group of about 500 flying ants every half month. These flying ants will serve as a supplement to the previous journey. They make their home in places they never occupied.

Three months later, the grassland has entered midsummer. Under the hot sunshine, batches of selected heat-resistant aphids lay on the grass blades, sucking greedily. On the grass neck behind them, there are also several large soldier ants lying on their backs. They are "aphid herder ants" and are responsible for grazing aphids.

Within three months, the entire grassland in the northern part of the forest, except for the areas where frogs existed near the river, had been occupied by sporadic ant colonies, and the various ant nests were quickly opening up channels to each other.

In the past three months, including the 3,000 ants released for the first time, Zero has released a total of more than 6,000 flying ants!

Most of them were lost in the process of establishing the nest, but even if a small half successfully established the ant nest, it is still a terrifying number!

Thousands of ant nests cover a wide area including the beaches to the east and the low cliffs to the north and west.

Some of them have already established a foothold and begun to establish connections with each other, while others are engaged in fierce battles with local indigenous insects.

It can be said that ant colonies are everywhere in the entire north of the forest.

Currently, Zero is planning an eviction campaign against the large animals in the savannah. Because their presence interferes with the normal activities of the ant colony to a great extent.

For example, when grazing aphids, rabbits or roe deer will suddenly pop out, stuff young grass leaves into their mouths and eat them.

Another example is the pasture that the ant colonies rely on for grazing. Sometimes they all die inexplicably. Zero finally discovered that it was actually the rats.

While burrowing underground, they bite off grass roots, directly causing the grass to die in patches.

Zero hated the feeling of being harassed in his stable life, so he decided to organize a group of teams and launch an expulsion campaign against various mammals on the grassland.

This is a bold attempt, and it is also a decision that can only be made after zeroing out of misunderstandings and changing his mentality.

This is not an outlandish idea. You must know that in the past three months, according to incomplete statistics from Zero, there were more than a million ants on the entire grassland, and this number was still growing rapidly.

Millions of them are enough to swamp creatures like rabbits and mice.

Another month later, more ant colonies established a foothold in the local area, and the number of the entire ant colony once again swelled to more than two million.

The food problem that plagues the ant colony will not come until the ant colony expands to the limit of the entire land. Under Zero's efficient command directed directly at the queen, the ant colony gathers extremely quickly.

The ant colonies within the "Second Ring Road" quickly gathered more than 80,000 ants through underground passages in half a day. The ant nests on the periphery were much slower because there were no fast passage connections, but only three days later , under Zero’s command, millions of ants gathered on the eastern beach.

The entire beach from south to north, far away from the sea water, was covered in darkness with neatly gathered ants. They stood quietly and motionless as if they were not thinking.

In the sky, flying ants were also flying, and their number exceeded 50,000.

Looking back at the beginning of the year, the number of ants in the entire ant colony was only four times this number.

This time the ant colony clearance operation will be carried out by flying ants as the vanguard and guide.

The reason why we chose the eastern beach is because it has the lowest terrain. If we launch an attack from here, the frightened animals can only flee to the cliffs in the north and west, or to the forest.

It doesn't matter, Zero's goal is not to kill them, but to make them disappear from this land.

No matter how it disappeared, it didn't matter to Zero.

After the ant colony completed its assembly, millions of ant colonies swept away from east to west with a single order.

The first thing they clean up is the area north of the river. Along the way, wherever the ants pass, all surface creatures flee in terror.

Several birds that were hatching their young on the grass also made helpless cries. The ant colonies accepted their children unceremoniously and turned them into their own food.

In front of the dark clouds on the ground, even if they only stay on the ground for a moment longer, countless ants will cover their bodies, daring to burrow into their feathers and bite their eyes and all fragile parts. place.

If they can't fly away in time, even they will die here.

The sweep will not stop anywhere until it is completed. All the way up, the ant colony is almost chasing hares, roe deer and other creatures, pushing them step by step to the edge of the cliff or into the forest.

Some unlucky ones were even directly blocked by the ants in their nests. In the narrow space, they could only struggle to run out of the hole. However, by this time, the ant colonies had already covered the grassland, and they had no way out. Can escape.

The constant attacks of the ants quickly consumed their physical strength. Soon, these unlucky ones lost all the soft tissues on their bodies. Within a few minutes, they were left with only piles of bones.

This is the horror of ant colonies. In front of an ant colony of this size, birds, rabbits, and even tigers and elephants will all run for their lives!
