Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 86 Gains and Losses

The tsunami this time was really extraordinary. When it hit the mountain head-on, Zero saw that the entire island seemed to be shaking. On the mountain top, countless rocks rolled, and a large piece of rock on the foothills was completely blown away. .

The shelters that were lucky enough not to be damaged during the earthquake also showed signs of collapse under the pounding vibrations. There were many places where the structure was slightly unstable and collapsed again.

This is not the end, just the beginning.

The unprecedented flood directly overflowed the mountainside, and in this short period of time, only one hilltop remained on the entire island.

A few minutes later, Zero saw the huge waves coming from afar again on Island No. 1.

After traveling hundreds of kilometers, its speed did not slow down much, and the monstrous flood once again hit the mountains of Island No. 1.

Normally, this majestic and steep mountain on Island No. 1 can withstand most of the impact of the tsunami. Most of the impact is blocked by it on the south side of the mountain, making it impossible for the huge wave to cross half of the thunder pool. It is precisely for this reason that other small islands after Island No. 1 can maintain a relatively complete ecological environment.

But this time it was different. The height of the huge waves rolled up by this tsunami could even compete with the peaks of the original island. When it hit the peaks of the first island, Zero saw that the originally majestic and steep mountain, The majestic mountain, which seemed to be able to withstand everything, actually seemed a little weak at this moment.

Maybe it was because it had been washed away by the sea too many times and the original rocks were no longer strong, or maybe this tsunami was too violent.

Zero only heard a roar. The cliff that was originally like a barrier was directly blasted into a huge gap by the huge waves. The originally complete and continuous mountain suddenly appeared abnormally broken in the central area!

This originally seamless barrier actually broke through at this moment!

The seawater rushed into the northern part of the mountain range unceremoniously through the gap. In the northern forest that had not experienced seawater erosion for many years, countless towering trees were knocked down to the ground or even uprooted by the seawater rushing down from the top of the mountain. Floating up and down in the waves, drifting away with the current.

The spiders that originally gave Zero an unusual headache, in the face of such natural power, did not even stir up a small wave, and they did not know which corner they were rushed towards.

What a huge body, what sharp claws, what impenetrable "poison domain", in front of the overwhelming wave, it was like a joke, and was destroyed easily.

Zero saw from a distance, several huge spiders as black as ink, like broken toys that had been played, floating and sinking in the sea water, their bodies were bent and twisted, and some could not even see their complete bodies. There was no movement.

Of course, it was not just this group of spiders that suffered. Although the top of Island No. 1 was only washed away in a corner, almost all of the seawater poured in from this gap, and combined with the waves that bypassed the mountains, leaving Island No. 1 behind. The six small islands were completely washed.

Although it has been buffered by the mountain, it is still not something that ordinary forces can withstand. Few creatures can survive such a disaster.

The ant colony also suffered a disaster. In the previous earthquakes, countless ants were submerged in the collapsed shelter holes. After the tsunami came, they experienced this experience again, and more ants The clan died in a shelter hole buried deep underground.

This time, despite the shelter of the refuge cave, the ants still suffered heavy losses. According to preliminary estimates, about 30% of the ants lost their lives in these two consecutive disasters.

But this is actually the best result. Didn’t you see that the spiders, who were originally helpless even to the ant colony, have been completely wiped out? If Zero relies on the protection of Island No. 1 and does not build a refuge hole to protect the ant colony, then The ending of the ant colony must be much more miserable than it is now!

Zero didn't have much emotion. In the day after day exploration of the ocean, if the corpses of the dead ants were piled up, they would be as high as a hill.

He has gradually learned to ignore death, because He knows that this is the best outcome. He had made complete preparations before, so he could remain calm in the face of such casualties.

The only thing he regretted was that he didn't know whether the eggs of those spiders could survive under the waves. It seems unlikely. After the huge wave surged over the mountain, the first ones to bear the brunt were the spiders active in the northern forest. They had no time to prepare and hide, and were swept down the mountain along with countless trees that were broken by the impact. of ocean.

Such powerful individuals cannot even protect themselves, so how can the defenseless eggs survive?

Zero thought so, but reality taught him a solid lesson.

After the tide receded, the ant colonies crawled out of their refuge holes as usual and prepared to repair their production facilities.

And during this process, Zero discovered a bunch of white flower flocs in a hidden place where the explorer used to be in the forest.

This is a cave sloping upward on the mountainside. In normal days, it must be one of the habitats of spiders, but now, it is all filled with this kind of white floc. Among these flocs , Zero could vaguely feel that some fist-sized eggs were quietly placed inside.

The structure here is somewhat similar to the refuge cave of an ant colony. It is one of the more stable places in the mountain, and the cave extends diagonally upward, which effectively avoids the influx of floods and successfully preserves these eggs. Come down.

There are many similar caves in the structurally stable areas on both sides of the mountain. However, most of them are oriented horizontally towards the interior of the mountain, and some are even excavated downward. Naturally, such a structure cannot resist the impact of floods. Today, there is nothing inside these solid potholes.

Obviously, these spiders also seem to have learned how to avoid the harm caused by earthquakes during frequent earthquakes. However, they have not experienced tsunamis but do not know how to avoid tsunamis.

So much so that in this sudden disaster, they were almost wiped out, leaving only this pile of eggs, which was a waste of money for the ant colony.

Through the explorer's perspective, Zero looked at this medium-sized cave with a trace of doubt in his heart.

Looking at the size, it should be more than enough to hide a few spiders in it, so why are they only filled with eggs here?

Is this where they originally laid their eggs, or is this a choice they made at the last minute?

Choose to preserve your offspring, not yourself.

Zero doesn't know. If it's the former, then Zero has indeed gotten a big bargain. If it was the latter, he would feel a little heavy.
