15 male insects swarmed into the forest, and the speed of collecting resources was even faster than before.
Out of the 25 zerglings, only 5 were left to guard the mother nest. The other 20 were sent out by Zuo Chen to patrol, to prevent any high-threat creatures from coming up the mountain to harm the male zerglings under his command.
These male insects were Zuo Chen's precious little ones. Each of them was a sharp weapon for him to collect resources. Naturally, he needed to spend effort to protect them.
Time slowly passed.
Soon, the sun set, and the world turned pitch-black.
Because the Skeleton Island was shrouded in fog all year round, the moon and starlight could not be seen even after dark.
Screams and roars could be heard everywhere in the dark forest, as if a killing feast had begun.
Zuo Chen understood the horror of the Skeleton Island. When he watched the movie King Kong in the past, he would break out in cold sweat for the characters in the movie no matter how many times he watched it. There were not only huge King Kong in the forest, but also all kinds of huge dinosaurs, giant insects, and other creatures.
Considering the dangers of the Skull Island at night, Zuo Chen ordered the male zerglings and zerglings that were collecting resources to return on the first night because he did not have enough troops. They stayed near the relatively safe Mother nest base.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, the resource collection continued.
Rustle, rustle, rustle
The males moved quickly, and the zerglings guarded the surroundings.
Time passed.
Throughout the day, the males were extremely efficient. Because there were no powerful monsters in the barren mountains where the mother nest was located, Zuo Chen decided to tilt the resources towards the males.
The original 1:1 ratio of male zerglings and zerglings had now become 1 zerglings for every 3 male zerglings.
The number of male insects was rapidly multiplying, and the speed at which they ate the vegetation and collected resources also increased with the increase in number!
Two days later, almost two-thirds of the scarce vegetation on this barren mountain had been harvested!
Not a single creature in the mountain was left. Some died and some fled.
At this point, the number of male zerglings under Zuo Chen's command had reached an astonishing 500, and there were at least 150 zerglings!
Zuo Chen cast his gaze down the mountain. On the big screen, there were many storyboards from the perspective of the miniature Scout Bugs.
On a storyboard.
Zuo Chen saw a huge dinosaur that was at least seven or eight stories tall roaring at the sky on the huge rock. It was a super tyrannosaurus!
"It's almost done." Zuo Chen grinned and softly instructed.
"Lorita, assign some bug soldiers and let them go down the mountain to play with our neighbors.”
"Yes, Chief Sovereign."
The barren mountain where the mother nest base was located was too sparse. The slightly larger plants had already been harvested. With so many male bugs staying on the mountain, they could no longer use their fists and legs. The energy they could collect per unit of time was too little.
If this continued, the efficiency would be too low.
Zuo Chen only let the bug soldiers go down the mountain after considering this.
At the same time, he also wanted to see the terrifying mutated creatures on the Skull Island. How strong were the carnivorous dinosaurs compared to his insectoids?
The zerglings were very strong, but they were only level 1 bug soldiers hatched from the most basic mother nest.
In these three days, Zuo Chen had yet to truly witness its performance when facing an enemy who was evenly matched.
Zuo Chen was looking forward to this.
For this operation, Zuo Chen had dispatched over a hundred zerglings and over two hundred male zerglings! The remaining bug soldiers stayed on the mountain to continue collecting resources and act as guards.
Rustle--
The large number of zerglings and males did not cause much noise as they marched. Everything was going on quietly.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the males immediately took action.
The forest at the foot of the mountain was very dense, especially the big trees. They were so thick that it took several people to hug them.
After some of the male worms cleared the grass and thorns in front of a big tree, one of the male worms directly went forward and bit the trunk of a big tree. The trunk was withering at a visible speed, but the male worm that bit the trunk had a high abdomen, as if it had sucked all the nutrients in the trunk into its stomach!
In fact, that was exactly the case. When the male worm left, a large area of the tree trunk fell off and turned into wood dust as if it had dried up for many years.
Zuo Chen had been paying attention to this scene. Seeing that there were no ferocious beasts around for the time being, he immediately gave the order.
"The incubation base."
As soon as the order was given, a male worm lay down in an open area a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain. Then, its body expanded.
Bang!
A large piece of flesh and blood burst out from the shell of the male insect, quickly forming a huge cocoon.
The mother nest's sub-base could allow any male insect to be used as a carrier for incubation.
Once the sub-base was established, the nearby males could directly convert the collected resources into energy in the biochemical furnace of the sub-base. This saved a lot of time and saved the males at the foot of the mountain from carrying a large amount of resources back to hand over.
At the same time, after the establishment of the sub-base, Zuo Chen's safety was more assured.
From now on, as long as there was a sub-base, Zuo Chen would not die.
Even if his mother nest base on the mountain was destroyed by the monsters that suddenly appeared, the sub-base at the foot of the mountain would instantly transfer his consciousness and become the new main base.
The deployment of troops would also become very easy.
This was because there was a special wormhole inside the mother nest's sub-base, which could allow all the Zerg soldiers to easily teleport between any main base and sub-base.# Date:07 10 2019 6:46PM
