Chapter 12: The "Outliers" of the Worm

Bursts of rolling waves came with the sun's rays, making everything in the world endure the heat of more than 50 degrees. If such weather were to occur in civilized times, it would inevitably cause a global uproar, but in these last days, it is only the most ordinary day.

The lush deep forest forms dense leaf waves, and the breeze blows, bringing bursts of "ripples".

Suddenly, with a loud bang, a burst of dust and smoke splashed, and the frightened birds scattered, and a huge gap suddenly appeared in the whole green carpet.

This is a large tree with a diameter of more than 5 meters, and with a height of more than 100 meters, it can be said that it is a towering giant tree. If it is placed in China in the civilized period, it will inevitably be protected by the government and become a tourist landscape with a huge flow of people.

Here, however, it collapsed, ending his long life. For a moment, the air waves rolled, swaying the surrounding trees. And the loud bang was even more reverberatory.

The moment the thick trunk fell to the ground, the thick layer of fallen leaves flew in all directions, revealing the dark surface. And the moment the giant tree hit the ground, a dark torrent wrapped the giant tree and flowed into the distance.

Brown, or black, scales flashed with a chill in the shredded afterglow of the forest. The large upper jaw teeth, with burr articulated hands and feet, show their characteristics that belong to insects. Their huge bodies resemble millstones, and their tiny eyes are even more bloodthirsty scarlet, indicating that they are not a group of harmless creatures.

The giant tree, which is more than five meters in diameter and more than 100 meters high, has long exceeded the tonnage level. But under their handling, it just moved smoothly into the distance, and it seemed so light and nothing, without the slightest hint of slowness.

From a distance, above the endless ground, there are clusters of giant insects, scattered all over the land:

With a roar, the giant beast slammed to the ground, and a swarm of insects swarmed up, dismembering the corpse cleanly. In the distance, a one-horned insect the size of a three-story building slowly appeared above the horizon and slowly moved forward. It's just that on top of the proud single horn, there is a dead body with a giant beast, which brings him a hint of hideousness.

On a bare mountain, there were several giant worms the size of a train, and the whole mountain trembled slightly when they bit down. More insects are carrying larger trees, little by little, in the same direction.

It's busy, but there's no sign of human activity, all of which suggests it's a Zerg home.

I don't know how long this will last, as if it will never stop.......

"Ang ......"

"Ang ........."

"Ang ........."

One high-pitched moan after another suddenly broke the scene, and all the insects that were supposed to be running like machines stopped moving.

The sound of hissing slowly came from afar back to the near distance, accompanied by the tentacles on the top of the insects' heads trembling slightly, and the insects scattered in all directions quickly assembled like the most powerful army in the world.

A neat and rapid rustling sound sounded, and the assembled insect swarm rolled into the distance like an irresistible monstrous wave.

...........................................

Giant trees, corpses, skeletons, rocks...... All kinds of things, mixed together, form a huge irregular semicircle, buckled above the surface, giving people a sense of absurdity and weirdness. But when you walk in, you will find that this inexplicable "building" is crawling here like a gluttonous beast, giving people an unspoken horror.

The black, mournful soil, centered on the nest, spreads out like a giant black hole, swallowing everything here. A wave of air blew by, bringing up bursts of fishy and inexplicable smells, which lingered in the air for a long time.

There are no birds in the sky, there are no flowers and plants on the ground, and under the intense sun, the ground has long been cracked, giving people an eerie silence and boundless desolation.

However, things are not so simple, and if you look closely, there are fluctuations of one kind or another on the surface. From time to time, viscous liquids bubled out, accompanied by the bursting of bubbles, rising strands of smoke of different colors.

It's just that the scaly claws and deep white bones suddenly reveal that this place is not as desolate as imagined.

A group of dark red figures came from far and near, except for many large and small compound eyes on their heads, and more than a dozen knuckled tentacles under their bodies, looking like pangolins wearing dark red scale armor.

There are only about two dozen of them, but they carry a strange beast the size of an adult elephant, which is a little shocking.

This is a group of red-split beetles that carry food, and are the most common sapper bugs in the entire nest. As if they didn't feel the weight on their bodies, they kept moving forward.

As the most basic type of engineer, once mature, the red cracked beetle begins to be busy all its life and becomes the basic part of the entire mechanical operation.

However, in today's team, there is a red-cracked beetle that behaves differently. As one of the members of the carrying, in the face of the heavy pressure on his body, only this red cracked beetle made a wise side: slightly lowered his body and pressed all the weight on the companions around him. And, constantly turning its head and looking around, its pair of compound eyes flashed with a hint of interest, with a bit of humanized aura.

In the face of its laziness, the rest of the bugs did not react, because the sapper Zerg had long since degenerated their brains, leaving only sharp jaw teeth and strong carrying ability.

As long as they don't stop them from carrying, they don't care about the strange behavior of their peers, because with their shrunken brains, they can't understand the meaning of the word "lazy".

Time was fleeting, and the team dragged the corpse into the nest unhurriedly. But the red-cracked beetle, which was a little clever, paused slightly, and then crawled in.

...........................

The space inside is wider than expected, and as it continues to go deeper, the temperature inside slowly drops by more than ten degrees. And here, all kinds of insects, large and small, come and go in and out of the crowd. Some with scales, some with wings, some like worms, some like bats, some with slender bodies, some bloated like balls........

And all of this was caught in the eyes of a small red cracked beetle that broke away from the team. I saw it glance slightly, then slowly crawled along the corner to the depths, and then disappeared into the darkness.

One floor, two floors......

Three-storey ........ Five-storey .........

....... 7th Floor.........

As if looking for something, the little worm squeezed through the fleshy wall-like passages, passing through one worm house after another with different styles........

Finally, in a wide space, it stopped:

It's a hatchery nest.

In this nest the size of a sports center, there are millions of eggs, densely packed, almost filling the entire space, except for the hexagonal egg room placed on the flesh wall, more eggs are piled up on the ground of the entire nest. They vary in size, some as big as a millstone and some as small as a walnut.

Looking at this terrifying scene, the red-cracked beetle nodded its head humanely, and spit out a black glass ball from its mouth.

The cyan beetles who kept going back and forth in the hatchery didn't pay attention to this guy's strange behavior, but thought that the glass ball was a new egg. After the glass ball fell to the ground, it was directly placed in the inner space of the nest by a busy cyan beetle.

The red-cracked beetle that spit out the glass ball did not leave directly, but slowly crawled on the side of the glass ball, as if waiting for something.

For this strange bug, the cyan beetles hissed a few times, and when they found that the other party was not moved at all, they stopped paying attention to it and continued to busy their work.

With the long wait, the glass ball flickered from time to time, and as the time passed, the light became brighter and brighter.......

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out from the center of the egg room.

I saw that the glass ball directly turned into dust, with a slight distortion of space, revealing a black shadow the size of a fist, and with the suction, some small insect eggs were slowly incorporated into it.

...........

As more and more eggs were swallowed, it finally caused a commotion among these cyan beetles, but the black shadow expanded rapidly like a crazy cancer cell, five meters, ten meters........ In less than a minute, it enveloped most of the egg love, and swallowed most of the millions of eggs.

At this time, the red-split beetle, fearlessly, jumped directly and quickly disappeared into the ever-expanding "black hole".

The black hole came and disappeared quickly, but the million eggs were almost swallowed up by the black hole.

The sudden change caused millions of people to disappear directly, and finally attracted the attention of the high-level insects in the hive.

After a short period of confusion, three high-pitched insect chirpings sounded from the lowest level of the hive, and through the amplification of the entrance of the hive, with a strong wave of qi, it quickly spread in all directions.

"Ang ......."

"Ang ..............."

"Ang ....................."
