Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Under Zero's previous comfort for unknown reasons, the ants strictly obeyed Zero's instructions and did not show any resistance.

However, it was precisely because of this absolute obedience that it almost brought them disaster!

Because of the existence of ant species as large as the builders, the underground nests of the ant colonies have been expanded again and again over the years. The entire underground of the island has been almost developed to the extreme by the ants, with spacious passages and huge tunnels everywhere. Cave.

However, when an earthquake struck, this spacious underground space suffered a devastating blow almost instantly.

Countless caves collapsed directly under the action of seismic waves, and areas that were not strong enough in the spacious passages were completely blocked. Large numbers of ants were deeply buried by the collapsed soil.

Although they are born to move underground, after being buried in dense soil, even if they are not crushed to death by luck, they will still suffocate to death!

Groups of ants died like weeds in the autumn wind under this natural disaster. Even the queen ants protected by them with their lives could not escape this disaster. Thousands of burrows collapsed, burying unknown people. How many plump queen ants.

Only the ants carrying food above the ground escaped. However, this was not the end.

The earthquake did not last long, and after about five minutes, the ground became calm again.

At this time, Zero had come back to his senses from being stunned. He looked at the devastation in his field of vision, looked at the groups of ants underground that were buried in the soil but were still struggling, and looked at the queen ants who died miserably. There are mixed feelings in my heart.

They might have been able to escape by relying on instinct...

Although in Zero's mind, ordinary ants are just emotionless laborers, and even the queen ants are insignificant. The only important ones may be a few high-level mutant queens.

But now, I see the underground kingdom I have worked hard for more than ten years being destroyed in a few minutes, and I see the ant colony that has grown step by step from scratch to become as weak as feathers, dying in batches by the thousands. , watching the fruit trees planted by the ants on the ground that he personally directed were uprooted, at this moment, Zero felt heartache...

That was the home that he and the ant colony had spent more than ten years building step by step, and it was destroyed like this...

Heartache, sadness, regret, unwillingness, and all kinds of negative emotions accumulated and rolled in Zero's chest. Feelings that he had never felt before came to his heart, making it almost impossible for him to stay calm.

In the end, it was the tragic situation in front of him that forced him to calm down. He suppressed his emotions and ordered the only remaining ant queen in the cave to direct the ant colony to start the rescue work. At the same time, he also asked the existing ants to crawl out of the ground as much as possible. , assemble to the top of the mountain.

In such a strong earthquake wave, the cave was miraculously well-preserved. Only a few pieces of gravel fell from the edge, killing dozens of unlucky ants. Except for the first time, no trace of damage could be seen. .

Therefore, this is currently the most complete base of preserved ant colonies.

But Zero knew in his heart that the earthquake on the sea was just the beginning. For the ant colony, a greater disaster was yet to come.

He urgently ordered all the flying ants hovering in the sky to gather towards the top of the mountain. At the same time, all the ant colonies that were able to move on the ground also fled towards the top of the mountain with all their strength.

Under Zero's command, ants that escaped from the underground kept crawling out of the ground and running towards the central mountain range. At this moment, they were competing for time with the God of Death.

As expected, in less than ten minutes after the first wave of earthquakes passed, Zero saw an obvious abnormality from the transporters on alert outside - the tide on the seashore receded significantly, and even Gradually the seabed that used to be hidden deep under the water was revealed!

Countless fish and shrimps were left on the coast by the rapidly receding water, but at this moment, Zero was no longer interested in hunting them.

He knew that after the earthquake, the real test was coming soon.

The surviving ant colonies were still gathering towards the top of the mountain in an endless stream, but Zero had already seen through the ants in the sky a long, seemingly endless black line rising from the sea in the distance!

That's a tsunami!

In the face of such a huge natural disaster, Zero could only order the surviving ant colonies to take shelter as much as possible by relying on the favorable terrain on the mountain peaks, and at the same time climb as high as possible to preserve their vitality.

However, Ling had no idea how effective this kind of effort would really be in the face of the tsunami. He could only say that he was doing his best and resigned to fate.

The black line on the sea surface in the distance was slowly advancing. Zero knew in his heart that it was not that the speed of the huge wave was not fast enough, it was just an illusion caused by the distance.

The surviving ant colonies are still climbing to the top of the mountain. Zero doesn't know how big the tsunami will be, but looking at the earthquake that almost plowed the entire island, the scale of the tsunami must not be too small. !

Time passed by, and the first thing to arrive was not the huge waves, but the strong winds!

The transporters and aerial combatants who existed as Zero's eyes in the sky could no longer stay in the air and had to land on the top of the mountain. As a result, Zero lost his vision in the sky.

However, He no longer needs this kind of vision, because the huge waves rising in the sea are already right in front of him!

Nowhere to hide!

This is a judgment made by Zero.

The height of the waves has almost exceeded the height of the top of the mountain, and the ants have nowhere to hide!

In the last seconds, Zero could only order as many ants as possible to get into the half-collapsed ant nest on the top of the mountain to ensure the safety of the queen as much as possible. Apart from that, there was nothing more he could do. .

The huge waves came with strong winds and hit the mountains directly, and the woods and grasslands at the foot of the mountains were all submerged under the waves.

Zero didn't know how much time had passed, nor did he know how many ants were taken away by the sea under such huge waves, and how many survived.

There is nothing but water in his field of vision, and at the same time, the scope of his field of vision is shrinking sharply!

Zero knew that this was the inevitable result of the death or loss of a large number of ants. Those lost views were no longer considered his sphere of influence.

Time passes forward minute by minute, waiting without suffering for the moment when the tide recedes. In the void space, the field of vision that can be seen continues to fade, and the originally endless "screens" are also disappearing at an extremely fast speed. fade away.

He didn't know how long it took, maybe minutes, maybe dozens of minutes, maybe hours, or longer, he didn't know. Finally, the speed at which his vision disappeared slowly began to slow down, and finally stopped completely.

The tsunami has passed...

The author has never lived by the sea, so there may be some mistakes or omissions, please forgive me! (Bow) Besides, I still have the audacity to ask for support! !
