Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 72 The hope of evolving again

Speaking of evolutionary gems, due to lack of food and frequent crises in the past few years, Zero has tried his best to deal with all kinds of troubles, and no longer has the energy to invest in it, nor has he studied it again.

Now, although there is plenty of food, Zero still has no idea how to get the queen to evolve again.

Before the earthquake occurred, He had tried every possible method, but without exception, they all failed.

No one knows how many biological mutation factors the current queen ant needs to evolve. Maybe one, maybe more. He cannot be sure. The only thing that is certain is that he cannot find more mutations in the cave at present. Eggs that have finished hatching.

Therefore, the evolutionary path of the ant tribe fell into silence for the time being.

During the winter, the ant colonies built and expanded a very large shelter that could accommodate about 100,000 ants, and also built many attached functional facilities such as granaries.

With the coming of spring, while breeding more logistics troops and actively planting seeds to expand the scale of planting, Zero also started the second phase of construction of the aquaculture farm again, as well as the construction of more safe granaries.

Diggers responsible for producing the adhesive are now in place on the beach, but the pebbles the original builders had hoarded were lost in the storm.

Therefore, they currently have to collect cobblestones again while starting paving work at the bottom of the pit for the first phase of the project.

Although the effect of clay-bonded pebbles exceeded zero expectations, it is obvious that this simple structure cannot completely prevent seawater erosion from occurring, and can only play a certain delaying role.

Therefore, when building the first phase of the project, Zero deliberately expanded the site and increased the depth to make room for multiple layers of clay-bonded, air-dried pebbles. Filling to slow down the erosion rate.

However, Zero still has not found a better answer to the problem of how to catch fish, because with the current size and ability of the ants, there are many things that cannot be done.

Ling even thought about using the tiny vines in the mountains to weave ropes or even nets, but when he thought about the appearance and abilities of the various ant species in the ant colony, it would be even harder for them to accomplish such a thing than asking Zhang Fei to embroider. A hundred times, that’s unthinkable.

And even if they can successfully compile it, I'm afraid they won't have enough strength to pull it up. There is no doubt that this is a completely bad idea.

Therefore, this fantasy-like idea was directly shelved, and apart from this, Zero One could not think of any simpler way to complete this work.

However, it will still be a long time before the ant colony completely completes this project. He still has time to think of a way. If it doesn't work, he can only use the stupidest method to make a "fish out of water".

…………

On the beach, builders were struggling to carry pebbles one by one, and walked heavily toward the construction site, where excavators who had applied clay were already waiting for it.

They will lay pebbles there and complete the second phase of the fish farm step by step.

This is a key project currently being carried out by the ant clan, and Zero has been paying close attention to it.

On this day, Ling was bored and observing the construction progress and possible dangers around him through the vision of these builders, but suddenly he noticed a trace of incongruity in the vision of one of the builders.

For a moment, Zero didn't realize where this incongruity came from. The builder's perspective flashed by, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully.

However, He quickly ordered a builder to put down the work he was doing and rush towards the place He saw that made Him feel strange.

Through its vision, Zero could see from a distance that on the beach, in the darkness under a huge rock protruding from the sea, there was a strange fish that he had never seen before, trying hard to swim among the stone slabs below. It fluttered up and down, as if wanting to jump back into the sea.

This fish is called a fish only because it has fins and wants to dive into the water.

The incongruous feeling of Zero comes from its appearance, because it looks like a salamander with a fish tail and fins, but no legs.

Zero had never seen this kind of fish before, because it looked a bit strange, so Zero spotted it at a glance from a distance.

At first, Zero thought it was an unlucky guy who accidentally stranded on the stone slab. He no longer needs to prey on this unlucky creature to survive, so he has no interest in its subsequent actions and just treats it as discovering a new species.

However, after the first fish flopped into the water, he discovered that another identical fish flopped out from under the rock.

"What's going on? This unlucky guy came in a team?" Zero felt a little strange. He had hunted on the beach so many times and had rarely seen anything like this.

However, what surprised him even more was what came next. After these two fish, a third fish jumped out, followed closely by the fifth, sixth...

Zero watched in amazement as eight of these strange fish slapped their tail fins on the stone slab to bounce back into the sea.

If these are all unlucky people, then they are too unlucky, right? This is no longer a team, this is a group!

Zero became very curious about the strange behavior of this fish, and he was sure that this was definitely not a simple stranding.

There must be something special in the dark place under this rock. Otherwise, there is no way to explain this phenomenon.

He rejoined the builder and sent a team of five air units over. This type of ant species is fast on the road and has strong fighting power, so it is just perfect for exploring this environment.

They quickly came to the top of the rock, followed the curvature of the rock and carefully climbed over the protrusion of the rock above the sea, and penetrated deep into the darkness on the backside of the sun.

Ling was surprised to find that there was a slightly sloping hole there. No wonder those fish just jumped out one by one. It turned out that the entrance of this hole was not very spacious.

Zero did not hesitate, commanding one of the ants to close its wings and crawl into the small hole, while the others were on guard outside.

After the huge ant climbed in carefully, Zero observed the surrounding environment through its field of vision. Then I saw that under the short narrow passage, there was a short space about one meter in diameter but less than fifteen centimeters high. It was made of rocks on the ground. And here, there were densely packed white flowers lying on the ground. eggs!

This does not look like fish eggs, because they are actually completely independent one by one! Over the years, Zero has seen too many fish eggs, and none of them are like this.

But this is not important. What is important is that He seems to have discovered something amazing!

The evolution of the queen ant has been stagnant for a long time because there are no more types of mutated organisms. Now, so many unknown eggs have been discovered here, which is of course good news!

As long as they can hatch in the cave, Zero doesn't care what they are. With the ant tribe's current ability, even if anteaters hatch out of them, they can be destroyed by it!

The ants quickly evacuate the small holes. Their forelimbs and mouthparts are not suitable for carrying things.

Soon after, the builder who was carrying cobblestones nearby rushed over, carefully picked up the insect eggs and crawled out of the ground. Then, with the help of the transporter, he flew across the grassland from the air and arrived at the cave where the mutant gem was located. Soon, These eggs were placed in the cave.

Zero looked at the eggs in front of him. They were about a quarter of the size of ordinary pebbles. They were white in color and had a dry surface. They were definitely not fish eggs, but more like those produced by some land creatures. Of course, the most important thing is that I have never seen it before.

That means that if they can hatch here, maybe the queen ants that have eaten mutated insects several times can evolve again!

Of course, it may not work, but there is no doubt that this is a hope, a hope that Zero has been waiting for for many years!
