Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

At the beginning, the queen ant in the ant colony could also make Zero feel vague information, but that information was more of an emotion than a message.

Zero had to rely on his own guesses to combine these emotions in order to barely understand their intentions. Most of them expressed respect and submission, and few had any real meaning.

Later, under the influence of gems, as the queen ant evolved again and again, this vague communication was not strengthened, but gradually weakened to the point of non-existence.

Perhaps as compensation, Zero, who was originally unable to do so, gradually gained the ability to directly control and command other ant species.

But the current bug is completely different. It can communicate its needs directly and clearly to Zero!

This is a big improvement, because it means that it may be able to communicate with zero to a certain extent.

The current ants only know orders and obedience. They have no opinions on anything at all. Except for Zero's orders, they all act on instinct.

Being able to communicate means that it has a certain degree of intelligence. No matter how low this intelligence is, it does exist.

This made Zero a little surprised. At present, he still didn't know what the purpose of this bug that was hatched after completely using up the gem was, but based on this alone, it was already beyond the ant clan.

Unfortunately, there is only one of it, and it looks too fat to be of any use.

The builders quickly brought in a large amount of food, and this insect was not polite at all. It swallowed it directly, regardless of whether it was meat or vegetable, and its entire body and abdomen swelled up visibly to the naked eye.

Then, it began to lie down and digest, exactly like the "Queen Ant" before.

Fortunately, its digestion did not last too long. One day later, it conveyed the message to Zero that it needed food.

This time Zero directly opened up the ant colony to meet its needs and see what changes it could make.

However, this bug seems to be just a foodie.

In the next two months, it had to eat food almost equal to less than half of its volume every day, and its metabolic activities were very frequent, but there was very little activity.

Zero tried to communicate with it, but could only get a response of wanting food.

Sure enough, he doesn't look very smart.

Zero complained secretly in his heart. However, He still fully satisfied its needs. Anyway, the ant colony is not short of this little food, so just keep it.

Zero is still looking forward to it.

Although it seems to only know how to eat and sleep, it is indeed the only thing left by the gem. Zero is unwilling to believe that it is such a waste that only knows how to eat and sleep.

Time passed day by day, and Zero did not wait for the insect to make any progress. Instead, he waited for a disaster that was like the end of the world.

In the distant southern seas, a submarine volcano erupted!

Zero did not see the eruption of the submarine volcano with his own eyes. He only made assumptions based on some phenomena he observed.

However, he was almost certain that there was basically nothing wrong with this speculation.

In the early stages of the volcanic eruption, the initial island suffered an almost devastating blow.

Along with the violent earthquake, the existing cracks expanded rapidly, and streams of magma actually gushed out from the ground along the cracks and rushed out of the ground, completely destroying the ecological environment on the island.

This is true even on islands, let alone in the sea. The seawater around the island seems to be boiling, with billowing white smoke and bubbles emitting, and its temperature is rising rapidly!

This is not the center of submarine volcanic eruptions, it is just a fringe area at best.

But even this kind of thing happening in the most fringe area directly turns the entire island into a hell on earth.

Magma spread across the island, and eventually even the top of the central mountain collapsed in the violent earthquake. There was almost nothing that could stop such natural power, and the entire island became completely barren.

The nearby marine ecological environment also suffered a near-destructive blow. Countless fish fled for their lives, and creatures that were usually natural enemies of each other also fled together, but only a small number of them could really escape.

The archipelago where Island No. 1 is located a hundred kilometers away was not spared from such a violent earthquake. The originally majestic mountain peaks were violently shaken, creating a huge crack from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and endless seawater poured in. , the originally green forest once again suffered a disaster.

But this is actually just the aftermath. In the southern sea further away, the entire sea has been completely polluted by various materials erupted by the volcano.

This kind of pollution does not only exist in seawater. For a long period of time, what falls here will not be normal rainwater, but will be highly toxic or polluted acid rain and the like. liquid.

This is only a small part of this disaster. At a rough estimate, this submarine volcanic eruption will at least directly or indirectly affect tens of thousands of square kilometers of surrounding sea areas, and this impact is still spreading. Ant colonies The island where it is located is not immune to the disaster.

On the initial island, billowing smoke poured out from the cracks, quickly covering the sky as if the world was annihilated.

During this stage of the disaster, less than 70% of the ant colonies survived on the island, which can be said to have been a heavy loss.

And this is just the beginning.

Soon, the tsunami that followed the earthquake came overwhelmingly.

This earthquake was so strong that the ensuing tsunami seemed to have rolled up the entire seafloor, impacting towards the land on the island with a devastating momentum.

Even with the only remaining mountain protection on Island No. 1, Zero once again lost more than 30% of the ant clan in the short period of time the tsunami lasted.

Waves coming from the mountains swept over the six islands behind it, leaving no vegetation above them.

However, in this disaster, Zero protected the insect very well. Even though the ant colony lost more than half of its members in this series of disasters, it was still alive and kicking.

However, Zero had no intention of paying attention to it for the time being.

After the tsunami, the remaining aftershocks and other disasters will actually bring certain dangers to the ant colony, but it is undeniable that the most dangerous time has passed.

Zero looked at the rough sea from the island. The originally blue sea had turned into a deep gray under the gray sky. It was due to pollution, and this was just the edge within the edge. It was impossible to imagine a volcanic eruption. What is it like in the heart of .

This time is different from the past. The ant colony no longer needs to repair any farms, because the sea water has been polluted and no fish can survive here.

Even for a period of time, there will be acid rain here, and the land will not be able to grow at all.

Therefore, the current ant colony can only rely on its original food reserves to survive this most difficult time.

But Zero also knows that when the power accumulated from long-term and frequent geological activities explodes at this moment, if he is lucky, he may have a long period of development.

But He had had enough.

The 5th update! Even though I was numb, I still suffered from my inexperience. As expected, I had to revise the manuscript in advance. If I were to sharpen my weapon before the battle, I would really die! I didn’t think so when I was saving the manuscript before. Looking back, I found that it was really unclear, and there were some places that were not explained clearly.,,,,
