Chapter 14 Natural Disaster
The battle broke out in various places in the jungle and lasted until the second half of the night.
Xia Jieren only paid attention for a while and then fell asleep early.
He has great faith in Kerrigan's abilities.
The next morning.
After Xia Jieren finished washing up, he entered the heart network.
Kerrigan gave a detailed report on last night's battle.
"We lost 131 worker bees and killed 43 wolves."
When Xia Jieren heard that nearly one-fifth of the worker bees had been lost, his expression did not fluctuate at all.
It seems that there are indeed a lot of worker bees, but in fact only less than 20 worker bees were lost.
This is the terrifying thing about the Zerg. They will squeeze all the energy to develop themselves, even the Zerg units under their command are not spared.
Last night's battle seemed brutal, but in terms of the results, the Zerg not only suffered no losses, but also gained a lot.
[Master: Xia Jieren]
【Energy: 17.7】
[Soldier template: Larva (20), Scout (u), Transporter (200)...]
[Units: Scout x80, Transporter x47, Worker Bee x613......]
[Building template: Evolution chamber (100), nutrient embryo (100), warehouse (u)......]
[Buildings: Evolution Chamber x1, Nutrient Embryo x1, Warehouse x1...]
This is indeed the case. When Xia Jieren checked the data panel this morning, he found that the number of worker bees had not decreased, but had increased instead.
Xia Jieren stroked his chin, thinking about having another go tonight.
"I wonder how many wolves we can kill tonight?"
In Xia Jieren's opinion, there shouldn't be too many.
After all, the wolves are not fools and they will definitely find the problem.
Just as he had guessed, there was an atmosphere of anxiety in the wolf pack's territory today.
There was no sight of the wolf king, but at this time on the grass, the wolves were no longer lying lazily on the ground to rest, but were pacing back and forth instead.
Considering that the wolves might stay in their den and go out less often, Xia Jieren decided to wait until the number of worker bees reached 1k before taking the initiative.
Plans can’t keep up with changes!
After noon, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and strong winds blew past from time to time.
The worker bees were still working diligently, while the insects returned to their dormitories under Xia Jieren's orders.
Xia Jieren closed the doors and windows, looked at the heavy rain outside, and fell into deep thought.
"I have been in this world for more than half a month, and I have gradually adapted to life here."
"Alas! But now I have no hope of returning home."
Suddenly, a loud thunder broke through the sky.
A strong wind blew, making the houses rustle.
"Can this house hold up?" Xia Jieren said worriedly.
Xia Jieren was somewhat curious about the situation outside, so he used the scout's vision to peek at the scenery outside.
There was heavy rain, strong winds, rolling clouds, and thunder and lightning.
A strong wind blew and the scout was blown all over the place.
If it were an ordinary bird, there is no doubt that the blow just now would have broken its wings.
When the scout took off again, the sea was rough and continuous waves kept hitting the rocks on the shore.
Some waves as high as three or four meters broke through the layers of reefs and slammed heavily on the cliffs.
In this harsh environment, the worker bees seem to be at ease and work hard.
At this moment, a rotating column of water rose from the sea in the distance, as agile as the neck of a giant dragon.
A vortex gradually formed on the water column, and countless surging sea water was sucked into it, forming a huge vortex.
The tornado gained strength and became more ferocious. The turbulent air flow spun rapidly, rolling up the sea water and forming a huge vortex wall.
The wall can be tens of meters high, with dense water vapor swirling inside, creating a chaotic scene.
The vortex wall roared past with great noise and blowing wind.
The surrounding waves were blown away, like a white petal dancing in the air.
Waves rolled on the sea and thunderous sounds were heard everywhere.
The sea water was ruthlessly rolled up by the tornado, forming a huge faucet, pouring down from the sky, roaring like a giant dragon's tongue.
The water column whipped the sea surface, stirring up a magnificent picture with surging waves and flying foam intertwined.
Xia Jieren stared at the scene blankly, thinking to himself, "Holy crap! This tornado won't move towards me, will it?"
Although he couldn't be sure, he still made preparations.
Xia Jieren first asked Kerrigan to command the scouts to find a safe place to hide, and then let the worker bees dig holes on the spot.
The larger transporters snuggled together and could not be easily shaken given their tonnage.
After making all preparations, Xia Jieren took refuge in the underground warehouse.
"Fortunately, I had the worker bees dig an underground warehouse early on. I had originally intended to store some sundries there, but I didn't expect it would be used now."
Waiting is the most boring thing, so Xia Jieren came to Xinwang to kill time.
Tornadoes come quickly and go quickly.
Two hours later, the sound of wind and rain gradually subsided.
Xia Jieren walked out of the underground warehouse, opened the door and stepped onto the muddy ground.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated and the sunlight shone through the clouds.
After taking a look at the building and finding nothing serious wrong with it, Xia Jieren was very happy.
Then, he opened his own data panel.
[Master: Xia Jieren]
【Energy: 46.1】
[Soldier template: Larva (20), Scout (u), Transporter (200)...]
[Units: Scout x67, Transporter x47, Worker Bee x710......]
[Building template: Evolution chamber (100), nutrient embryo (100), warehouse (u)......]
[Buildings: Evolution Chamber x1, Nutrient Embryo x1, Warehouse x1...]
"We were very lucky. We only lost 23 scouts."
This loss is just a drop in the bucket for Xia Jieren.
After asking Kerrigan to increase the number of scouts to 100, he no longer paid any attention.
Under Kerrigan's command, the worker bees, transporters, and insect men quickly returned to work.
Sadly, Highway 1 has become somewhat potholed due to the heavy rains, and the potholes continue to increase and expand as heavyweight haulers step on them.
"Alas, this is the disadvantage of unpaved roads."
"It seems that we need to ask Kerrigan to develop an adhesive specifically for road construction."
Xia Jieren thought:
It’s a pity that the tornado did not cause any damage to the wolf pack.
They all hid in the cave when the tornado came.
"In that case, let's continue with tonight's plan."
Xia Jieren ordered.
"As you command, Master."
I wonder how many fish I can catch tonight.
