Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Unconsciously, time has quietly slipped through the fingertips, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the thirteenth year of Zero's awakening.

Since the last evolution, there has been no abnormal movement in the ant colony. The ants live in an orderly manner according to Zero's plan, and there is no longer large-scale reproduction and expansion activities.

Of course, in addition to being hindered in evolution, the main reason is that there is no place for the ant colonies to expand.

In autumn, there would occasionally be shells left on the beach by the waves, and sometimes there would be small fish stranded, and commanding the guards and assassins to hunt these small fish became one of the few pleasures for Zero.

On this day, Zero was leading a large group of guards to patrol the beach to see if they could encounter any fish that slipped through the net.

Although his field of vision can cover the entire island, he still prefers to use the ants' field of vision to explore the beach, because it can bring him some surprises. In the past few days, he had done this kind of thing countless times.

Because there are not many insect species on the island anymore, even if you search for nothing, you will not be able to get enough food to satisfy the evolution of the queen ant.

In desperation, He even set his sights on the birds in the forest, asking the transporters to steal the eggs and return them to the cave to hatch and mutate them to try.

The result was undoubtedly a failure. It was not that he could not obtain the bird eggs, but that after obtaining the bird eggs, Zero could not provide a comfortable enough temperature in the cave for the eggs to hatch. Even if Zero scratched his head, he could not make the ants Trying to hatch these eggs will naturally end in failure.

During this period of time, Zero basically tried all unreliable methods. He even tried to send the ant aerial units to try to fish the fish eggs from the hidden places on the coast. However, the fish eggs were too soft and could not bear it at all. The scratching of the ant colony eventually came to nothing.

In desperation, Zero gradually began to lie down and lead a daily life of leading the ant colony on the street.

Under the continuous planting of the ant colony, fruit trees and sweet potato berries have been roughly covered with the island. With the current scale of the ant colony, the problem of food is no longer a problem at all. The cellar has been expanded and expanded, and new ones have been built, but there are still no problems. It was filled again and again, until in the end, Zero no longer even harvested new food, but just sat there eating nothing, going out to dig some sweet potatoes every autumn to fill it.

After living a leisurely and comfortable life for too long, Zero gradually gave up on urging the queen ant to continue evolving. The ant colony has no enemies here, and there is no survival crisis. There is no way to finish the food. If this is how it lives, , it doesn’t seem to be a problem until the end of time.

On the beach, Zero patrolled the ground through the guardian's vision with some expectation, hoping to encounter one or two stranded fish for his entertainment.

However, this exploration is destined to be different.

As soon as he arrived at the beach, before Zero could take a closer look, he suddenly found that his vision began to shake. Almost the next second, he realized that this was the guardian anxiously spinning around in place.

Through the perspective of turning around, he saw that all the other ants behind the guardian were almost doing the same thing.

Zero is a little confused, what kind of operation is this? This situation has never happened before, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, just felt a little curious.

Years of ease have made his life very boring, and every unusual day can make him feel novel.

In order to figure out the reason, he decisively disconnected the guardian's field of vision and turned to observe with his own full field of vision.

With this observation, Zero immediately noticed something was wrong.

Not just the ants on the beach, but all the ants in the nest became restless. Some were spinning in circles, while others were rushing around randomly as if they had lost their direction, completely losing the order of the past.

A big question mark slowly rose in Zero's mind.

"what happened?"

He tried to control the queen ants, but found that the queens were also in panic all day long, as if a disaster was imminent.

Fortunately, they were still controllable. Under Zero's comfort, the queen ants calmed down first, but there were still some symptoms of uneasiness.

Afterwards, the ant colony gradually returned to calm and returned to its original orderly appearance.

However, Zero can still see from their actions that they have not really calmed down, but only restrained the restlessness out of the instinct of obedience.

For example, some builders unconsciously walked in the wrong direction while carrying sweet potatoes. Another example is that the assassins deep in the cave were constantly scratching the wall with their forelimbs. Even the transporters flying in the sky behaved like this. Absent-minded.

Zero observed their behavior carefully, puzzled.

This is a phenomenon that has never happened before. The ants have always forbidden Him and this will never happen without reason.

"There must be something happening that I don't know about." Zero thought to himself.

"Besides, this kind of thing shouldn't be a good thing."

Time passed minute by minute, until evening, and still nothing happened.

Except for the occasional disorder, the ant colony is basically the same as usual.

But Zero became increasingly uneasy. The longer the state of the ant colony lasts, the more uneasiness will grow in Zero's heart. From afternoon to evening, he basically has a full field of vision, observing all the disturbances on the island.

He was surprised to find that some snakes crawled out from deeper underground. Regardless of the risk of being discovered by the ant colony, they fled frantically but without any purpose.

The birds in the forest have been hovering in the sky, unwilling to fall into the forest.

"What is it?" Seeing this situation, Ling's heart became heavier and heavier.

The snakes and insects that had obviously escaped from the ants actually emerged from the surface again regardless of the danger, and the birds that usually returned to their nests early no longer returned to the woods.

All this gave Zero a very ominous premonition, as if some disaster was about to happen.

"Wait, disaster?" Zero thought about the words that suddenly popped up in his mind, and his heart moved.

However, before he could figure it out, his vision shook violently.

The moment this happened, Zero reacted. It was not his vision that was shaking, but the ground beneath his vision that was shaking. No, it couldn't be said to be shaking, but rolling and surging. !

"This is... an earthquake?!" Zero stared dumbfounded as this natural force raged across the entire ground. The earth's ups and downs, collapses, and ruptures were nothing more than ordinary things.

In the ant nest deep underground, the ants have suffered heavy casualties.
