Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Of course, in addition to these two new ant species, the original ant species have also been strengthened to varying degrees.

However, although the specific changes vary, they all have a larger body shape and stronger hind limbs.

The strength and execution ability of the logistics ant species have been strengthened, while the changes of the combat ant species are more biased towards offensive and defensive capabilities.

What makes Ling dumbfounded is that after this evolution, each ant species suddenly became huge, causing them to no longer be able to drill out of the already spacious passage.

In order for them to go out for testing, Zero had to ask the original builder to widen a passage specifically for them.

The sun outside is bright and the wind is gentle. At the newly opened entrance to the cave, several large ant species crawled out one after another.

It's just an ant species that originally existed. Although the size has also grown a bit, all abilities have obviously been enhanced to a certain extent. However, overall, it is not too exaggerated. It just changed from the size of a fist to more than half the size of a palm. That’s all.

However, these two new ant species are too exaggerated. One is so wide and large that the original passage cannot be squeezed out at all. Although the other type is not as wide, it is almost twice as long as the guardian after this change. With the support of the hind legs under the feet, the height has also increased.

Regarding the previous ant species, Zero had no strong desire to test them. They were just stronger, stronger offensive and defensive capabilities, faster, etc. Zero had already anticipated these changes before, so he had a rough idea in his mind. There are several.

Only these two new ant species concerned Zero very much. He wanted to know what kind of activities they could do in the water.

Can it only be above the water's surface, or can it be submerged underwater?

He is looking forward to it.

At Zero's signal, two new ant species came to the seaside closest to the cave.

And next, Zero saw that unlike all previous ant species, which had a strong fear of water, they almost stepped into the water without any hesitation.

The ant species with a wide back floated easily on the water surface, and the six legs underneath it slid and swam quickly on the water surface.

Another relatively slender ant species suddenly plunged into the water and started to swim in the water like a fish!

Zero was overjoyed. He tried to order the former to dive into the water and let the latter surface. He found that they could do this, but the speed was much lower than the original water surface and water speed.

"It seems that they have their own strengths in the water." Zero thought.

Then, he looked at the ant species above the sea, and tried to let the re-evolved air combat units fly up.

Then he discovered that a full ten aerial units could stand on the back of such a large ant species without any sign of sinking, but its speed slowed down a bit.

It seems that although the ants on its back have occupied all the space above it, the weight is far from reaching the limit that it can bear!

This means that he can bear greater mass and will be the transporter of the ants on the water!

While Zero was paying attention to the load-bearing experiment on the water, on the other side, the ant tribe that dived underwater unexpectedly used its forelimbs to pick up two dead fish!

Its forelimbs almost completely penetrated the fish scales and penetrated through the gills. It seemed that it penetrated directly into the brain, killing it with one blow!

Zero was pleasantly surprised again. Isn't this the water fighter he dreamed of?

At the same time, he looked at the two fish that had been dead for a long time in front of him and fell into deep thinking.

Zero has always maintained enough respect for the ocean. Whether it was the previous tsunami or the subsequent storm, he constantly showed his strength to Zero, telling him that the sea is powerful and unpredictable and cannot be defeated!

As early as when the ant colony first had flying ant species, Zero sent the newborn flying ants to try to explore the ocean further outside the island.

However, once flying ants fly into the sea, they will soon become exhausted under the influence of the sea breeze. Sometimes, even with zero control, the flying ants will lose their way when they fly a certain distance away from the island. They are surrounded by water on all sides and cannot find the way back.

Looking forward, there is no land except water.

Later, with stronger air units, Zero sent them out to explore overseas again. However, apart from flying a little faster and farther, they were almost the same as before. The same physical exhaustion, the same feeling of being lost and unable to return.

These two explorations further strengthened Zero's awe for the sea. He knew that with the current level of the ant colony, it was basically impossible to go to sea.

But this time, the emergence of these two new ant species seems to be able to bring some changes to him.

…………

Although the emergence of this fast fish-killing ant species made Zero doubt whether he still needed to continue building fish farms, they were fully capable of hunting directly in the ocean.

But in the end, Zero stubbornly built up the half-completed farm.

We have already reached this stage of construction, and there is no reason to give up halfway.

However, the most important reason is that although the ant species that can hunt small fish in the sea are ferocious, they obviously do not have enough endurance. They are creatures that rely on instantaneous explosive power to kill their opponents.

This characteristic of them destined them to be unable to hunt deeper and further at once, which is a great uncertainty.

At the same time, not everything in the sea is as calm as above. There are dangers under the water. Although Zero has not seen any large marine creatures yet, he knows that they must really exist!

Therefore, hunting directly in the ocean is not only unstable but also very dangerous.

However, there are not so many problems in developing aquaculture. Not only is it highly certain, the output can be predicted, but there is also no danger.

More importantly, the birth of this underwater combat unit directly solved the problem of how to catch mature fish. Therefore, all the problems in developing aquaculture so far have finally been solved one by one.

As for the species to be bred, Zero finally chose that strange fish directly.

Once Ling has a certain number of such eggs, he can just find a dark place on the ground outside the breeding farm to hatch them, and then the adult fish can continue to reproduce here.

Secondly, it is also because this fish seems to be of medium size, just the size that the ant tribe's underwater combat unit can directly fork.

The farming activities of the first fish farm have just started. It will play the role of another food pillar of the ant colony in the future, and will become more and more important for a long time to come. is becoming more and more important.
