Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

People often say that extreme happiness brings about sorrow, and they also say that misfortunes never come alone. This is really true.

Time passed day by day, and just as the logistics ants were working in full swing, and Zero was happy that more land could be effectively used, a sudden storm interrupted all of Zero's deployments.

At first, the wind blowing across the island was stronger than usual, and Zero didn't care. But as the wind got stronger and sand and rocks began to fly on the island, he finally felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Zero actually didn't realize that this was a sign of the coming storm. He just thought it was going to rain heavily. In the past years, there have been many heavy rains on the island, which was very similar to this situation.

In order to prevent accidents, he reluctantly asked the ant colony outside to stop all work and returned to the cave to prepare to escape the heavy rain.

And it was precisely because of his action at this time that the vast majority of the ants were lucky enough to avoid this accident.

Of course, this is a story for later. At this time, Zero has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, because in the past ten years, he has never seen a storm coming on the island, so he has no experience to draw from.

It wasn't until the violent sea wind blew more and more violently without any sign of weakening that he finally realized what must have happened again.

Zero sent one of the guardians to venture out, sticking to the gap in the mountain wall all the way up, and finally came to a small stone platform near the top of the mountain. The wind speed here was higher. The guardian tried his best to fix himself on the platform by using his head and feet. Above, Zero looked to the east, where there was an obvious anomaly.

At the intersection of the sea and the sky in the far distance, an endless stretch of huge dark clouds lay upside down on the sea surface like a huge cover. The strong wind beneath it pushed the monstrous sea water forward at a speed visible to the field of vision. Zero just observed a few In just a few minutes, the dark clouds were clearly moving towards the island, and large droplets of water began to fall from the sky, making a crackling sound on the rocks.

"?!!!" Zero couldn't help but wanted to yell.

He confirmed that this was indeed a storm on the sea!

"Has this place been cursed recently?!"

Less than two years ago, the ant colony had just experienced an earthquake and huge waves, which almost killed the entire ant colony.

The difficulties he faced after that made Zero still feel that it was a stroke of luck that he was able to get through it smoothly.

After more than a year of development, it is only now that the ant colony has calmed down a bit, but what is going on?

It was really difficult for Zero to maintain a calm mind. He didn't understand why, in the more than ten years since he woke up to when the ants dominated the entire island, although he had experienced some violent storms, he had never encountered any No matter what catastrophe happened, I even thought that the location of this island was a unique paradise for survival.

But starting from the year before last, I seemed to have had a bad year, and everything bad happened to me.

First, the earthquake and tsunami almost completely destroyed the entire island's ecosystem, almost wiping out the ant colony.

After two years of hard work and development, he finally took a breath. He was gearing up to build a fish farm, trying to once again solve the biggest obstacle that restricted the development of the ant colony. However, why did there suddenly be a storm? Has your luck run out over the years?

He was really depressed.

However, no matter how depressed I am, there is nothing I can do.

The coming of disaster does not give people the right to choose. He can only choose to endure it and face reality.

All the ant colonies entered the nest and tried their best to protect themselves from the storm. Zero sent out a few strong guards to keep an eye on the storm's movements.

However, this kind of observation is of little use, because as the center of the storm continues to approach, the sky is filled with water mist, and the heavy rain pours down like water from the sky. The outside guardians will soon be unable to observe any information - —They have been washed away by the current.

Unlike tsunamis, storms generally do not cause a large amount of seawater to flow into the island. They only roll up everything they can and cause extremely serious damage to the environment on the island.

Of course, unless it is an extremely unlucky situation, the center of the storm happens to pass through this island. If this is the case, anything is possible. Even if the sea water inundates the island again, Zero will not find it strange.

However, he is not worried about this, and things should not develop to this extent.

Because judging from the direction of the storm, it should be moving from the northeast to the southeast of the island and will not pass directly through the island.

However, even so, because the distance is too close, even if it is on the edge of the storm, the entire island will still inevitably suffer.

In the following time, the indescribable huge wind swept everything on the island that was not strong enough and flew into the sky. Flying sand, rocks, and broken trees all had to be swept up into the sky and became part of the storm.

Zero led the ant colony to hide in caves and nests, silently listening to the unprecedented roar of the storm outside, feeling heavy in his heart.

Crops planted in spring are bound to be lost.

The first phase of the fish farm, which took several months of hard work, will never survive the disaster.

Even if the members of the ant colony were basically unharmed, after the storm passed, the difficulties he would face would be even more serious than when he experienced the tsunami last year!

After all, although it was very difficult at that time, the size of the ant colony was also small and relatively easier to support. Even if it was feeding on fish and insects on the beach, it could still survive.

But now, what else do I have? In order to deal with the seagulls, He had just used the food in the reserve warehouse not long ago to hatch tens of thousands of ant aerial combat units!

This move not only consumed a lot of food, but in the future, unless Zero directly let the ants eat the same kind of food, they would continue to consume the little food of the ant colony.

Originally, the remaining food could only ensure that the ant colony could wait until the autumn harvest this year, and then another batch of stored food could be obtained to support the ant colony through the cold winter until the next autumn harvest.

In this plan, the most important part is the existence of strategic granaries, which can reduce the risk of the ant colony's risky behavior of only leaving enough food to barely survive, and thus fully develop, to a controllable range.

But now, with a battle with seagulls, food reserves are once again unsustainable.

Zero was silent, with various emotions swirling in his mind.

Is it really necessary to streamline some ethnic groups?

He is not willing to treat the ants as simple creatures and let them kill each other.

But now, it seems there is no other way...

emmmmm, I have been reading for a long time, speed up the pace,,,, get ready to go to sea...
