The evolution of Zerg

It seems that these creeps will not be able to survive this winter. Although they have been strengthened, these creeps are still very afraid of the cold.

Looking at the increasingly cold weather, Zhang Fan also had to make some preparations.

The mother nest has stopped hatching larvae, and all the worker bees have begun to carry the fungus carpet into the mother nest as a food reserve.

Gaia couldn't stand the weather and had returned to her mother's nest at the foot of the mountain.

This mother nest is the largest nest in the entire North, covering a very large area. In this way, the food reserves will also become very rich.

Snow began to fall in the sky, and the snowflakes became bigger and bigger. Zhang Fan still remembered the first time he saw snow in this world, when he was fighting with the Golden Feather Ant King in the grassland.

After the storm, it will always bring good luck to you.

However, the weather in the north was a bit special. The snow was actually mixed with ice, and many worker bees who were still carrying food were killed.

In desperation, they had to stop the transportation work and let all the Zerg soldiers return to the mother nest. The only ones still outside were the magma worms.

At first, Zhang Fan wanted to save it, but not long after it started snowing, the big guy was already frozen to death.

It doesn't matter if you freeze to death, at least you can save some food. Zhang Fan comforted himself.

The weather is still getting colder, there is already thick snow on the ground, and then the real north wind begins to howl.

After the first gust of north wind howled, Zhang Fan had lost all information about the outside world in the north.

It seemed as if a gust of north wind had frozen the whole world.

It's still warm in the nest, but the big eyeball outside has been frozen to death.

Gaia stayed bored in the center of the nest, which was the warmest place: Dad, how long do you think this winter will last?

Zhang Fan shook his head: I don't know about this. We know nothing about the environment in the north.

Gaia said boredly: It's really troublesome not being able to go out.

Zhang Fan: Be patient, it will pass.

The weather is still getting colder, and the passage of the mother's nest has been blocked by snow. This is not possible. The passage must be opened, otherwise there will be a lack of oxygen.

As a result, both springtail worker bees and hydralisk latent spiders began to dig tunnels in an attempt to clear the snow.

The snow is really thick, mostly mixed with ice, which makes it difficult to clean up.

It was not easy to open the passage. There was a gust of north wind, and all the soldiers near the entrance of the cave were frozen into ice sculptures.

Gaia also shivered involuntarily, it was indeed cold today.

The weather also started to get colder in the south, and Adam began to move south. At this time, just like the north, there was frost on the ground, and then it snowed.

Everything feels the same as in previous years, this is what Zhang Fan thinks.

But he didn't expect that this year would be the coldest year, commonly known as the Ice Age, and the year that opened the Cambrian period. The reason was related to the activity of the sun.

The solar activity cycle, called the solar magnetic activity cycle, is a quasi-periodic change in the number of sunspots and other phenomena. It will cause changes in some materials in the air and on the ground, and may even change the climate.

The coming of this ice age happens to be when the number of sunspots on the sun increases, so the weather will suddenly become particularly cold.

In the early years, there were some signs, but Zhang Fan never noticed it. He is not an astronomer, and there is no brainworm who specializes in this, so he still thinks that this is a very ordinary winter. .

The sky in the north has cleared up. It's not that we don't want to snow anymore, but there is no snow left in the sky, so we can only let the north roar indiscriminately.

Gaia anxiously found Zhang Fan: Dad, our calculations were somewhat wrong. The food reserves may not be enough.

Zhang Fan's heart sank and he said, How long can it last?

Gaia: There are still a few months, but you see it is getting colder and colder, and the temperature is still dropping, which is beyond the norm. If this happens, the snow may not melt next year. Dad, we must make some decisions. .”

Zhang Fan took a deep breath: You are right, I have to make some decisions.

Time ran by, and Gaia was anxiously waiting for Zhang Fan's decision. Finally, Zhang Fan said in a deep voice: First clean up the one-third of the food that has a large appetite.

Gaia: I understand, Dad.

Gaia felt that she was in pain, and there was heart-wrenching pain in her heart. These were her family members, her own tribe, but now she had to let them die in order to survive.

Those Zerg soldiers who were sentenced to death had no resentment. They chose to remain silent. After giving an order, they quickly climbed out of the nest and ran outside.

Every once in a while, Zhang Fan would lose their perspective, and they would be left in the snow forever.

The ice sculptures symbolize the cruelty of this snow disaster.

The ruthless snowstorm not only affects the north, but also devastates the south.

Adam didn't know why, but the snow this year was more intense than in previous years, and some nests were starving to death due to insufficient food reserves.

It has no choice but to resign itself to fate.

Adam estimated the time. According to past times, it should have just started to snow at this time, but now the snow is gradually moving further south.

Adam reported the information about the south to Zhang Fan, which suddenly shocked Zhang Fan.

He also didn't expect that the snow would fall so hard.

Adam, please continue moving south. If necessary, you will be allowed to make special decisions. Zhang Fan felt a little uncomfortable.

Adam also felt very painful: Lord, Adam Adam understands.

The weather is still getting colder, and Gaia feels extremely cold in the mother nest. In this case, the priority is of course to protect the brain worms.

Zhang Fan was cruel this time, letting the Zerg race kill each other, and then applied some crushed exoskeleton powder to Gaia's body to protect him from the cold.

Breaking the exoskeletons of the worker bees and bringing them close to Gaia to keep them warm.

Gradually, Gaia felt that her head was not functioning properly, and she really wanted to doze off.

Gaia, go to sleep, hibernate well, and spend this winter safely. I will watch over you. Zhang Fan said gently.

Gaia didn't even have the strength to open her eyes now: Old... Dad, I'll go to sleep first. His voice was still trembling.

At this time, Adam's anxious voice reached Zhang Fan's mind: Master, it's not good, many hatching ponds have frozen to death.

Zhang Fan now adjusted his perspective to the south: How many hatching ponds are still alive now?

Adam: Master, not many, mostly in the south, but Adam is worried.
