Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Although it seems a bit desolate, doing so can indeed greatly alleviate the food pressure of the ethnic group.

For the next time, the ant colony spent most of the time dormant. Ling used the dried mushrooms he worked hard to collect in the summer and autumn to lead the ants through the whole winter, and even when spring came, there was still some leftover.

However, when spring came, He took out the old sweet potatoes that had been treasured for a long time and fed them to the builders who had eaten mushrooms for two seasons.

It's not that Zero suddenly became generous, but the spring planting still needs to be completed by the builders, and they must eat food with higher sugar content, otherwise they may not be able to support themselves.

Although it seems very realistic, there is really no way around it. If possible, Zero also wants all the ants to live a good life and never worry about food again.

But now, we can only work together to overcome the difficulties...

The logistics troops who had eaten the old sweet potatoes carried the sweet potato seeds and crawled out of the cave without complaint. They started the new year's work in the harsh spring and planted the seeds of hope.

Last year's storms brought not only renovated land, but also huge numbers of fish.

The decaying carcasses of these fish add a lot of fertility to the soil. Through the builder's vision, Zero can clearly see the organic matter seeping into the land, which is the best fertilizer for plant growth.

Long before the ant colonies cultivated it, new life sprouted on the islands.

After the land became suitable for growth again, a large number of grass seeds came from nowhere and sprouted rapidly in various places, making people marvel at the tenacity of life.

The builders naturally pinched off the grasses that had just emerged, while the underground diggers directly chewed off their roots. This was to ensure that the sweet potato seeds could grow smoothly without having to compete with these weeds.

The area on the island suitable for farming is large, but the number of builders is extremely limited. Now that the food in the nest is scarce, their number will no longer increase.

Ling did not expect to be able to complete the cultivation of sweet potatoes on the entire island in less than a month suitable for cultivation with just a little over 30,000 logistic ant seeds.

This year, His requirements are very low. As long as by autumn, we can accumulate enough food to supply next year’s whole year and still have a surplus.

In this case, the ant tribe will have spare capacity to produce more builders for sowing next year, thereby planting more seeds and completing a virtuous cycle.

This requirement is really very low. After experiencing two natural disasters, and witnessing the ant colonies pitifully eating dried mushrooms for two seasons, and even having to eat for two more seasons, Zero is currently doing things only for stability. , I just hope that the ant colony can regain enough high-sugar food as soon as possible.

Of course, that being said, in reality, He still hopes to plant as many seeds as possible. In this way, the ant colony can regain strength faster, and there is no need to rely on eating mushrooms to survive as it is now. day.

In spring, the time suitable for farming is only about a month. If it is too early, the weather will be too cold, and if it is too late, it will not be ripe. Thirty thousand builders and excavators tried their best and only completed about 100 acres near the cave in the northern part of the island. A quarter of the land is cultivated, and as for more, it is completely beyond the capabilities.

However, after they completed the planting, they did not return to the ant nest, and returned to the days of eating mushrooms and lying on corpses. Because the fertility of the land had returned, and the earth had already begun to grow, there were actually many insects again.

These builders will hunt these bugs at various locations on the island before harvesting in autumn to supplement the deficit of the nest. They can also continue to pick mushrooms in their spare time to obtain as much food as possible for the group.

As spring passes and autumn comes, time flies in the cave. Finally, the dusk of autumn once again invaded the entire island.

After three years, Zero finally saw the island full of life again.

In the cave, all the ants, whether they were logistics or combat troops, had a good meal and cheered up to go to the place where the builders had finished planting sweet potatoes in the spring to participate in the harvest.

The harvest is always pleasant, especially Zero, who has led the ant colony through several years of hard life, can understand this excitement even more.

Seeing the huge sweet potatoes dug out of the ground one by one by the diggers, the stems and leaves cut off by the guards with ease, and then carried back and stored by the builders, Zero's joy was simply indescribable.

He swore that after rising again this time, he would do everything possible to prepare for disaster prevention and never let this happen to the ant colony again!

…………

With abundant food, the ant colony's life will be much better.

Throughout the autumn, the ants resumed their days of abundant food and clothing after many years.

But this is not enough. After passing the most dangerous stage, we must seek development.

After experiencing earthquakes and tsunamis, the last development of the ant colony was interrupted by a storm, and the facilities to be built were also forced to be completely terminated due to lack of food.

But this time, with enough food, all the projects that had been put on hold were put back on the agenda.

The construction of the shelter is scheduled for winter, while the repair of the first phase of the fish farm project will be completed before winter.

The ant colony has harvested enough food this time. If the ant colony is only the current size, these sweet potatoes will not be a problem for them to feed them for six or seven years!

Of course, even if Zero stopped expanding the ant colony, the sweet potatoes wouldn't be able to be stored for that long.

The construction of cellars has been put back on the agenda, and a waterproof warehouse deeper underground has also been arranged. This time, Zero is working hard and preparing for a big fight!

He not only wants to restore the ant colony to its peak, but also makes them stronger!

However, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and these things must be completed step by step.

Without the interference of disaster and the constraints of food, the first phase of the seaside breeding farm project was repaired quickly and was completed as scheduled before the onset of winter.

Next, Zero directed these builders to continue to expand the shelter on the top of the mountain.

Zero takes this project very seriously. Having experienced two disasters, he knows very well how terrible it will be when disaster strikes.

He personally directed the builders to dig a cave in the stable structure of the rock, leading directly through twists and turns and complicated passages to the cave where Zero called the mutated gem. The structure was complex and there was an area where ants lived. , there are granaries, ventilation and drainage facilities, etc. But without exception, these structures are all built on stable mountains, with safety as the top priority.
