Chapter 305: The Mystery of Worm Island (1)

With the help of the bug of cabbage, Worm Ji's bug army quickly occupied a place on Worm Island. Although the territory is not very large, it has finally gained a foothold.

It is said that it is shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it. After really coming into contact with the Zerg, Cabbage realized how superficial and ridiculous the Zerg theories he learned at the beginning. At a time when humans thought they knew about bugs, the evolution of bugs was beyond human imagination. At the same time, it is also through this zero-distance contact that the cabbage has figured out all the problems that he has not figured out before.

For example, the Zerg have a large number and variety of flying insects, but why didn't they cross the sky to invade the human world? The reason is surprisingly simple, because the combat radius of the flying insects is limited by the control of the mother worm. In other words, there is a distance limit to the control of the mother worm. The swarm, led by the mother worm, instinctively does not break away from the control radius of the mother worm. Once out of the control of the mother worm, these insects with no intelligence or thoughts to speak of will become the target of other insect swarms, and the final result will be a big meal. What's more, once the mother worm is lost, the group of bugs will die on their own in a short period of time, even if they are not attacked. Although the reason for this cabbage has not yet been figured out, it is obvious that the basis of the insect colony is the insect mother, and the strength of the insect mother directly affects the size and strength of the insect colony, which is beyond doubt. Because of this, the farthest attack distance of those flying insects is currently near the first line of defense built by the human army.

For example, there are a wide variety of aquatic insects in the Zerg, but why are they extremely scarce? If the mother worm can organize an army of aquatic insects, the control of the sea around Worm Island is a complete joke. But why doesn't Mother Worm do it? The reason is just as simple as laughable. Because the mother insect can't swim and instinctively hates salty seawater, she basically doesn't go to raw aquatic insects. Even if there are occasional ones, they are only made by a few swarms along the coast to replenish food. These aquatic bugs play the role of fishermen exclusively. Fortunately, fish are abundant in the Arctic Sea, and only low-level soldiers in the swarm will eat fish when they are hungry. Therefore, the ecosphere in the Arctic Sea has not been wiped out.

The third example is how the swarm can defend itself against human satellite monitoring systems. This one is even funnier. With the wisdom of bugs, they don't even think about satellite monitoring. They are just instinctively creating an environment suitable for their own survival. Bugs need to breathe, and the air they exhale will take on a pale green color. A few bugs may not be easy to observe, but in terms of the number of insect swarms on the island, this accumulation is terrifying. Therefore, the sky above the Worm Island is completely shrouded in a thick layer of green mist. You said, in this case, what can the satellite photograph? The fact that it can roughly take a picture of the overall outline is that the satellite is of good quality and has high technology.

In addition to these, and most importantly, Worm is really different from all worm mothers!

In terms of insect swarms, a mother worm is equivalent to the king of a worm kingdom. The bugs fight each other, and the symbol of their ultimate victory is that one mother devours the other. And the mother worm can evolve by devouring each other. For example, Party A's mother worm does not produce a certain type of bug, while Party B's mother worm can. Then, when Party A devours Party B, Party A's mother worm will complete its evolution and can completely produce the worms that Party B originally has.

A swarm has only one mother. When the swarm base is large enough to a certain number, the mother worm will produce a small worm mother. Then divide a part of the worm to the little worm mother. This completes the segmentation of the swarm. But don't expect this little worm mother to have any feelings of gratitude to Dade. As long as its strength swells to a certain extent, this little worm mother may attack the worm mother that gave birth to itself. Who wins, strength speaks. Without family affection and strategy, this is how bugs evolve from generation to generation and survive from generation to generation. Because of this, there has never been a unified swarm on Worm Island.

But the Bug Queen broke the conventions of the Zerg. It's not unusual for her to devour mothers and give birth to them. Strangely, the mother worms she produces do not form a colony on their own. Instead, it's completely controlled by the worm. From a structural point of view, Worm Queen is a queen, and Worm Mother is her retainer. As long as the insect queen controls the worm mother, she can control a large number of insect swarms. The most terrifying thing is that this control is absolute, and there is no need to worry about the mother worm or the swarm betraying. What's worse is that it is different from other insect mothers who are large, incapacitated, and slow to react. Worm Ji herself is a powerhouse with S-rank strength. She doesn't even have to completely strangle the opponent's insect swarm, as long as her own insect swarm opens a path for her, she can kill the opponent's insect mother with lightning speed and complete the devouring. Thus completely laying the foundation for the victory of their own swarm. Moreover, it is precisely because of this structure of the Worm Queen's group that even the loss of one or two Worm Mothers will not pose any threat to the Worm's dominance. Because the insect queen can be produced and replenished at any time, there is no need to worry about the collapse of the population caused by the death of the insect mother.

It is precisely because of this congenital advantage that Worm Ji, who is now on her heels, does not need the help of cabbage at all, she has already expanded her territory and started the Zerg war to unify Worm Island.

When the scattered structure of the Zerg is broken, and when the Zerg Island becomes a truly unified Zerg kingdom, with the number and combat effectiveness of the Zerg, can humans really stop the Zerg's attack?

Luckily, there was cabbage. Even if the insect queen is the queen of the swarm, but in front of the cabbage, she is no different from a pet puppy. There is no doubt that this is an intellectual, or rather intellectual, evolution. Compared with those ignorant and fearless insect mothers who act purely on instinct, Worm Ji knows and understands better who holds the real power of life and death on this insect island.

The fundamental purpose of the cabbage is to find that spatial passage. Compared to finding it slowly on your own, using the insect swarm is undoubtedly more efficient. With the help of cabbage, Worm Ji has further improved her ability by devouring the worm mother. Not only can it control more insect colonies, but it also produces a lot more insect species than before. Judging from the current situation of both sides, it is undoubtedly a mutual benefit.

For the future, cabbage has never been worried. As long as he finds the spatial passage, he will leave here with Worm Ji to go to that Zerg world. Regardless of whether Worm Ji unified Worm Island at that time, there was no Worm Queen's control. Worm Island will undoubtedly return to the state of independent separation of each insect mother. For the human society in this world, it is just a continuation of the current state, and it is not good or bad. If you think about it more deeply, after the cabbage took away the higher-level insect queen and closed the spatial passage, the humans here took a big advantage.

It is said that the plan cannot keep up with the rapid change. Just when Cabbage thought that his original plan was a failure, as the situation changed and developed, the trajectory of everything seemed to return to Cabbage's original plan.

Now the strength of the insect is enough to protect herself, so in order to speed up the search progress, the cabbage simply divided the scope. At present, the part that Worm Ji is unable to explore, Cabbage explores alone. And in the part covered by the Worm Queen's forces, of course, the bugs of the Worm Queen are responsible for exploring. Although there are battles from time to time due to exploring the territory of other bugs, this small swarm of insects that is already hidden in the cave is no match for the Bug Ji group. For the insects who are very satisfied when they have food, they are obviously very happy to win this kind of battle.

Running a map is the most boring thing to do. That is, the stealth technique is turned on, and most boring battles are avoided. But in the case of a real cave passage full of bugs, the cabbage still had to clean it up before exploring. Because of this, a few days have passed, and the progress of exploration cannot be considered fast, whether it is cabbage or worm. Although the patience of the cabbage is not good, it is useless to encounter this kind of water grinding kung fu.

A few days ago, it was a polar day, but in the last two days, it has slowly darkened. Counting the days, it should be mid to late September, so the polar night is estimated to be coming soon. According to the habits of insects summarized by humans, this period of polar night is the incubation period of insects. Basically, they don't attack, this is the biological habit of insects, and even the mother worm can't drive a large-scale swarm at this time. Therefore, in the history of the battle between humans and the Zerg, this period of polar night is usually the best time to strengthen the defense line and rest the team.

Of course, it is not that there are no brainless humans who want to come to Worm Island at this time to seek results and merits, but the result is very disappointing. Although bugs have lost their offensiveness, it does not mean that they are no longer defensive. If someone takes the initiative to send them to the door to add food, the insects will never refuse to come. Therefore, after several tentative attacks were completely annihilated, no one dared to make such a suggestion again.

On the other hand, if the cabbage does not get fruit before the polar night, then if you want to drive the swarm later, you will have to wait three or four months to do so. As for what will happen to the worm, the cabbage has never experienced it, so I don't know at all.

Mentally exhausted, the cabbage returns to the Worm Queen's stronghold. More than a dozen giant insect mothers inhabit the ice caves around this ice mound. And the ice mound in front of him is obviously the current throne of the insect queen, except for dozens of giant beetles with hideous faces and thick claws guarding them, only one long caterpillar covered in fluff curls up on the ice mound. After being kicked away by the cabbage several times, the insect who wanted to curl up next to the cabbage to sleep was very aggrieved and got the worm out as a bed. Despite this, Worm Ji still likes to gather around the cabbage when she has nothing to do. Not for anything else, just because the natural breath on the cabbage and the temperature around the body make her feel comfortable and like.

"Hiss-" Seeing the cabbage return, Worm immediately let out a hiss. In a few jumps, he came from the ice mound to the side of the cabbage. But he didn't dare to stick it to the cabbage, he just circled around the cabbage, and held a piece of black and swarthy thing to the cabbage in both hands.

The curious cabbage took this piece and looked at it, and immediately frowned. A bone fragment. And judging from the degree of corrosion and wear, this bone is more than 100 years old. Of course, none of this is important, and the most important thing is that if the cabbage is not mistaken, this is a human skull. The reason why this skeleton is considered unique is because this skull is engraved with intricate inscriptions and things similar to formations.

Of course, the Zerg will not have this kind of leisure. Of course, the only people who can make this kind of thing are the humans themselves.
