Chapter 2 This is the first snow of XXXX
A dozen dinosaur-like creatures with body hair ran wild through the jungle, their eyes revealing fear and panic.
Chasing them was a group of ferocious predators, the Tyranns' Soldiers, ten of whom drove the herbivorous horde under Tyranny's command.
Suddenly, several herbivores let out a wail and disappeared to the ground. What remains is a big pit.
This is a simple trap dug by Taryn and the insects, digging a deep pit, using fallen branches to set up on the deep pit, and then laying a layer of fallen leaves to barely cover it.
Taryn didn't expect the herbivores to be stupid enough to step on it, so he commanded the soldiers and insects to chase after the herbivores, deliberately driving them into this position and causing them to step on the trap in a panic.
Obviously, the effect has been achieved, but Taryn is not going to catch one or two and end it, after all, he is going to breed, and a few are not enough.
There were a few more branches breaking, and several more herbivores fell into the trap. The herbivores had finally made it through the trap area. Tyron's swarm also stopped the chase and went back to check the results of the hunt.
Taryn dug a total of five traps, the first one dropped three herbivores, the second one missed, the third one was one, the fourth one was five, three adults and two cubs. The fifth trap didn't hit either.
That's a good result, but it's only then that Taryn comes up with a problem: how do you get them out?
Whether it's a worker or a soldier, there is no such thing as an arm...... And they can't reach the herbivores in the trap......
Yes, it seems that the only way to fill it in is to fill it in, but after a little thought, Taryn decided to leave them there for a while. After all, there's no place to put these guys now, so let's throw them here first.
"......Quack" A giant centipede-like creature appeared, making a threatening sound at Tyran's Zerg and widening its dangerous-looking claws.
Tyranny's swarm also took on a threatening posture, and the two sides began to confront each other.
The other party is not an easy opponent to deal with, and Tyron knows that the other party's carapace is not so easy to break.
Although you have the advantage in numbers, you can avoid losses as much as possible. Tyranny's zerg are not those that have evolved quite well, and can be replenished by recovering corpses.
The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and finally the centipede-like creature retreated, and there was no need for it to fight the Tyranid group.
Tyron was relieved to see the big centipede retreat, and after giving instructions to the soldiers to watch the herbivores and suppress their desire to hunt, he turned his attention back to the nest, and asked the workers to open a new room in the nest for those herbivores, and he also needed to personally control the workers to build a wooden fence that could be switched on and off.
Eventually, the construction of the switchable wooden fence failed, and the forelimbs of the worker insects were completely less flexible than the human arms, and Tylen did not know much about carpentry, and finally the construction of the wooden fence ended in failure.
As a last resort, Taryn had to take the simplest but laborious method, relying on soldiers and insects to guard in shifts.
After getting the herbivores out of the pit and driving them back to the cave. Taryn began working on that panel. Planting is not in a hurry for a while, he just needs to pay attention to this kind of thing every day, hunting soldiers and insects can do it themselves, and the plants that feed the grass beasts every day need to direct the workers and insects to do it, and the rest is almost nothing for him, then he can only study this genetic panel in consciousness.
Since he didn't know much about genes, and most of the things he learned in biology class were returned to the teacher, Taryn could only slowly explore what would happen if he removed certain genes to speculate on the role of a certain gene.
It's not a human job at all!
But the good thing is that if you pay attention, you can see more microscopic structures, such as cells.
And while figuring it out, Taryn discovered a new feature that simulates actual growth and activity. But that's all there is to it, and you can't create a virtual enemy for actual combat.
But this feature alone surprised Tyron, after all, there are many things that cannot be seen after experiencing real activities, and his level of knowledge is there.
As for the actual combat, it seems that it can only be hatched and then see the situation.
At dawn, the soldiers and insects were ordered to hunt, and the workers went to the nearby grass to mow and feed the herbivores, observe the growth of the plants, and then began to study the role of each gene. Also pay attention to the species around you.
At night, some soldiers and insects were ordered to guard the herbivore beast in shifts, and entered a special dormant state.
That's right, even if he becomes the will of the swarm, Taryn still needs to go into hibernation, and when most of the swarm goes into hibernation, Taryn will fall into a deep sleep.
After more than 200 days and nights, the weather turned from hot to cool until it began to get cold, and the Tyranid tribe began to instinctively store food, and the workers collected the leftover parts of the prey that they brought back to their nests after killing the soldiers, spit out a sticky saliva-like thing from their mouths, smeared it on the pieces of meat, and stored them in a room that Tyron called a warehouse.
In the past few hundred days, those herbivores have also recognized the reality, although they don't understand what kind of disease these predators who feed on them are trapped here, but since the other party has no crime against themselves and sends them food, it is still no problem if they don't leave.
Even the newborn herbivore hatchlings try to play with the bugs that guard them.
Taryn could only sigh inwardly at this.
With the fall of snowflakes, Tyrann's tribe has also reduced the frequency of going out, after all, it has become difficult to find food, but fortunately, the nest ** has a large food reserve, so even if you don't catch prey, you can rely on the reserve food to survive the winter. And the food of those herbivores is not too much of a problem, Taryn has long stocked up on a lot of sun-dried hay, which can last for a long time. But how long this winter will be, Tyron is completely bottomless, after all, this is not the earth. All Taryn could do to feed these herbivores was to stock up on hay as much hay as he could.
However, Taryn discovered that there was a problem in the Zerg: the activity of some soldier insects and worker insects was weakening, and the body was gradually aging. Just yesterday, the first soldier bug died, disappearing from the link Taryn perceived.
What the hell is going on? Taryn felt fear.
