Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

In the following days, Zero continued to pay attention to the abdomen of this "Queen Ant". He was surprised to find that its abdomen was gradually shrinking!

Zero didn't know what the situation was, but he didn't interfere without authorization. He just tried his best to meet all the needs of this "ant queen".

In fact, it has no needs. It just lies motionless in the cave every day. If it hadn't occasionally swallowed a little food, Zero would have even thought it was dead.

Its abdomen was shrinking every day, until finally, the originally full abdomen had collapsed into an insect-skin-like appearance.

Through the drooping insect skin, Zero could see the gradually emerging outline of its abdomen. It was not obvious at first, but as the "Queen Ant's" abdomen became smaller day by day, its shape became more obvious.

This is an egg!

In these years, Zero has seen many eggs, some big and some small, in the sky, on the ground, in the water, all kinds of eggs.

However, he had never seen such a big egg.

Look at the shape, it must be at least one meter high!

Dinosaur Eggs?

This was an idea that suddenly popped up in Zero's mind, and he didn't even know what it was.

The abdomen of the "Queen Ant" is still shrinking, as if all the energy is supplied to the unlaid egg.

Zero looked on coldly. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he really didn't know where to start.

This "Queen Ant" didn't seem to have many needs, she just lay there quietly, letting her huge body shrink day by day.

It is impossible for Zero to let the ant colony open its mouth to feed. Therefore, He could only watch.

As time passed, this change became more and more obvious. In the end, the skin on the "queen's" abdomen had almost shrunk into a ball, completely covering the surface of the egg.

And the aura of this "Queen Ant" gradually disappeared in this day-to-day change.

In the end, it truly lost its life, and the egg was finally exposed through the insect's skin.

It was a white egg with no hard shell and no colorful light. If you ignored its unusual size, it looked like a very ordinary insect egg.

The huge "Queen Ant" was dead, and its entire huge abdomen shrank into a wrinkled ball, and it didn't look as huge as before.

It seems that gestating this egg has exhausted all its vitality, or perhaps it is the mission of its existence to produce this huge egg. In short, it is indeed dead.

At this point, the only thing left of the gem that could mutate the queen was this egg.

Zero didn't know what conditions this egg needed to hatch, nor how long it would take for it to hatch. He could only leave the egg here intact, just like the cocoon that had taken care of the queen ant. generally.

The sun and the moon go by, the stars move by, and time keeps passing by. In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

In the past three years, two major things have happened to the ant colony.

It is said that there are two things, but it can actually be said to be one thing, because they are both related to disasters.

One is that two years ago, the mountains on Island No. 1 seemed to be unable to maintain their original structure. The large gap that was originally washed out by the tsunami collapsed again, and the gap there became even larger.

The second thing is that the cracks on the initial island have widened.

Moreover, Zero also observed the gradual rise in water temperature through the remaining ants in the sea.

What this means is self-evident, and now it is already the fourth year since the last earthquake.

Zero believes that judging from past experience, the time between disasters is rapidly shortening.

And the next disaster is probably just around the corner. Maybe next year, maybe next month, maybe tomorrow, it’s all possible.

Zero also believed that this earthquake would never be as simple as causing a tsunami like before.

The most direct evidence is the cracks on the initial island and the gradually increasing water temperature!

And it was at this time that the egg that was laid after exhausting the "Queen's" vitality finally started to move.

A full three years!

"Could it be that the queen ant is Mrs. Li Jing, and that the third prince was conceived in the egg?"

Some strange and nonsensical thoughts came to Ling's mind. He didn't know what they meant, but he was already used to them and ignored them.

The insect eggs did not change because of Zero's thoughts. Except for being larger in size, they were exactly the same as when countless ants hatched. Zero saw a strange big insect emerging from the egg.

It's really weird.

Over the years, Zero has seen many strange bugs, and he has long been able to get used to them.

The reason why it is strange does not mean that it looks strange, but that the state it displays is strange.

Because Zero didn't feel any aura belonging to the ant clan from its body at all!

In all the previous evolutions, no matter how drastic the changes in the appearance of the ants were, Zero could feel the same aura from them as the original ant colony, even the huge queen ant from before.

That is the smell that belongs uniquely to the ant colony, and it is also the key information for them to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!

This is also the fundamental reason why they have changed so much for a long time, but Zero has always called them the ant tribe.

However, the insect in front of him had no such aura at all. The ants originally guarding the periphery had realized this and immediately became vigilant.

In their simple thinking, anything that is inconsistent with their own aura is the enemy!

And this is the territory of the ants. If the enemy appears in their territory, it is self-evident what to do next.

If it weren't for Zero's strong pressure, this group of ants might have rushed forward and fought tooth and nail.

There is no breath of the ant tribe, which can only mean one thing, that is, it has been fundamentally different from the ant tribe, and it is no longer the same race as them!

But what made Zero feel somewhat reassured was that even though this insect had completely lost the aura of the ant clan, it still showed absolute obedience to Zero.

This shows that it has not escaped from Zero's control and is still considered "one of its own".

He looked at the insect and found that it looked like a meat ball, but it was not able to move like the queen ant. It could move independently on its own, but not very fast. Obviously, it did not move. Suitable for combat.

When Zero was observing this bug, he almost felt the difference of this bug at the same time.

In the mood of awe and obedience, it actually repeatedly conveyed a simple but clear message to Zero!

Want food!

It was a simple wish, and Zero could do anything about it, but compared to this, he was still more interested in its ability.

At the beginning, the queens of the ant tribe also had similar abilities, but unlike this bug, they were more just expressing their obedience and closeness to Zero. He had never felt the queen's love for him so clearly. Any needs expressed.

Therefore, Zero had some guesses about the ability of the original queen ant and the bug in front of her.

He believes that although the two are very similar, there are still differences.

4th update. It took some time to revise the manuscript. A brother said that the rest would be posted in one second. I thought it made sense. After a while, I posted the rest today and went straight to get off work to code.

Also, please give me a monthly ticket, brother, cute! !
