Mountains and jungles are covered in large areas of golden, a natural change of deciduous trees with the seasons.

Grey skies.

A drizzle of cow drizzle.

Birds cross to the south, snakes and rats are dormant.

Subtropical winters are a different kind of cold.

The temperature is kept above freezing, there is no ice or snow, and below 10 degrees, ordinary insects either freeze to death or hibernat.

Pervasive moisture is the best medium for delivering cold air.

The jungle fell silent.

The once bustling mountain peaks have also become silent, and only two cockroaches, large and small, are still active.

The Red Cockroach warriors went out hunting less frequently, leaving for longer periods of time, and sometimes, it took two or three days to return after a trip.

The slaughtered are large warm-blooded animals such as elk and wild boars, which should be killed together with nearby companions, and the corpses brought back each time are very imperfect and can only be divided into a small piece.

The warriors of the Red Cockroach tribe became thrifty and cherished every bit of meat.

Another small cockroach that is still able to move is Zebra.

Banbu guessed that the main reason was that the radiation of the dominant metal core caused the soul to mutate, and the soul rebirth led to the mutation of the red cockroach gene. A small part of the reason is that raspberry fruit strengthens cell activity and enhances its ability to withstand cold.

He is conscious and can move freely, but his growth rate is slow.

The warriors of the Red Cockroach tribe were amazed that this dark male sub-adult was able to move in winter, and every time he returned from hunting, he would take the initiative to cut off a large piece of fresh meat and throw it at the mouth of the chamber of the zebra.

Zebrabu enjoyed the hospitality of his fellow warriors, and in return, whenever the rain stopped, he busily collected dead leaves, cut them into pieces, and carried them under the Force plants he had planted.

Plants need nutrients to grow, and Force plants are no exception.

The Red Cockroach Clan's inherited memories don't seem to have much knowledge about farming, and Banbu has never seen the Red Cockroach warrior who shelters him loosen the soil for the planted Force plants.

The soils on the mountainside are on the poor side, and decaying foliage can improve fertility.

Zebrabu focused on taking care of the raspberry bushes that had begun to bear fruit, and there was another consideration for doing so: the Force plant could not be said to be visible everywhere, and this red cockroach tribal warrior was too weak to eat too much Force fruit, and perhaps, next fall, he could share some of it from it after becoming a Force creature himself.

The Red Cockroach warrior couldn't guess the complicated thoughts in Zebra's head, and didn't even understand the purpose of his strange behavior, but he didn't stop it, and when he was bored, he silently lay down beside the raspberry bush and watched Zebra rush around.

Winter in the jungle is quiet but not peaceful, and death happens all the time.

Mother cockroach is nowhere to be found.

Banbu traveled far to look for it, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

In order to survive the test of the bitter cold, cockroaches will follow the guidance of inheritance memory, and more than a dozen or even dozens of them will crowd in a nest to keep warm in a real sense.

However, the effect is not obvious, rough statistics, nymphs gather nests, not one in a hundred, sub-adult and adult nests, seven or eight out of ten, only those strongest young cockroaches can survive.

The long winter is less than one in ten that can survive in the end.

Harsh natural elimination, screening out the best genes to survive and reproduce.

In the spring of the following year, the surviving cockroaches will feed on the corpses of their dead companions for nutritional supplements, either growing rapidly or reproducing like crazy.

Then, throughout the mountain range, the Red Cockroach tribe quickly became thriving, becoming the largest number of "ruling zergs".

……

"Absorb the Force and complete the 19th molt and growth, and you are the Red Cockroach Tribal Warrior."

"Only the red cockroach that has experienced the test of cold winter and scorching heat can feel the cosmic force."

"Quiet during the day, recuperate your energy, be active at night, and exercise your body."

"Be sure to eat plenty of meat and stay fit at all times."

"To become a Red Cockroach Warrior, the first life seed should choose a low bush seed......"

Bang!

The spring thunder exploded, and the sleeping Zebra was awakened.

The 18th molt was coming to an end and was interrupted by interference.

I woke up in a daze, and I was afraid to check, but fortunately there were no side effects.

When you look up, the stone block at the top of the chamber is covered with the character "swastika", and each character represents six days and nights.

This is a record that began when Banbu moved in, and it has been 25 characters so far, which means 150 days, and it is the night of the 151st day.

Combined with the 64 days I spent living on the nearby mountain before I moved here, I have experienced 215 days on this planet, and according to the calculation of 30 days as a month, it has been more than 7 months, and I have experienced half a hot summer, a whole bleak autumn and a desolate and dead winter.

Zebra turned his head to look at the new pale gray shell, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: finally 19-year-old adult!

Eat a few leaves, then hastily gnaw on the faded carapace, and then eat some stored animal meat.

Walking to the entrance of the cave and looking out, the spring rain is continuous, and it is not a good weather to go out.

Lying in the room, silently waiting.

The nascent carapace slowly hardens when exposed to air, and its color becomes deeper, and in the morning, it turns completely black with a metallic sheen.

The soul guides the genetic mutation, and every time the molt grows, there will be subtle changes in the body structure, and after more than ten times, the appearance of the spotted cloth is not small compared with the male red cockroach.

The two front legs are well-developed and powerful, with sharp toes that are curved like a sickle, and have fine teeth that can cut leaves, and the three toes are closed like nest scissors, and the tough veins of the leaves can be easily cut.

The tibiae of the two front legs are covered with slender spikes that glow with a dangerous metallic sheen.

More like the predator of the insect world, the "praying mantis", to be exact, should be the metal mantis", the difference is that without the bloated belly of the praying mantis, it can be more agile and fast than the praying mantis when it continues to run.

After a long period of unremitting exercise, the pulse wings are also developed, and gradually have a little ability to fly in the air.

The flight ability of 19-year-old adults remains to be determined.

Banbu is more concerned about a new memory obtained from this molting slumber: to become a red cockroach warrior, the first life seed should be a bush seed......

The question of how to continue to grow after becoming a warrior of the Red Cockroach tribe is very vague.

Among them, it mentioned the "life seed", thinking about it, Zebra is 90% sure, it is linked to the Force plant, more specific, then I can't figure it out. It's exciting to see that there are so many Force plants on this planet that there are a choice.

When Banbu was a human, the Hoth family was considered to be in power. The ancestor once served as the governor of a B-class industrial planet, leaving behind a lot of political connections; In the business world, the family holds a high-tech company and holds several large cross-star technology companies; In terms of cultivation, the family has several exclusive secret arts; In terms of military affairs, the elders of the family served in the Seventh Army of the Thunder Expeditionary Force, serving as the head of the most elite 702 Pioneer Regiment, with outstanding military achievements and the rank of major general.

Such a large family in full bloom only supports one Force plant.

"There are all kinds of indications that in the future, I will become a warrior of the Red Cockroach Clan, and I will be able to grow a large number of Force plants, open up my own orchard, and have endless Force fruits to eat every year!"

Every time he thought about it, Banbu couldn't hold back his excitement.
