Chapter 98 April 1st Update

Large patches of crimson blood, like red ink dripping into the sea, quickly spread out. The strong smell of blood covered the fishy smell of the sea, mixed with hideous pieces of flesh of various shapes, emitting an unpleasant stench.

Just how overpowering was the smell? Not only were sharks from a thousand miles away, but even birds in the sky were drawn to it, circling excitedly above the dark red sea, waiting for the perfect moment to land and snatch a meal.

The scene before our eyes was like a grand buffet at sea. Although tickets seemed free, if the guests were not careful, they would very likely pay the price of their lives while dining.

In just a few minutes, all 16 bullets were fired. The "clicking" sound of the silver bullet gun indicated that the magazine was empty. They could only wait until 24 o'clock to reload the bullets.

The entire gun was extremely hot due to the continuous shooting, as if it was about to explode. Although the number of bullets was fixed, the power was amazing. Now it seemed that 20 bullets a day was most likely the upper limit of this gun. Yu Zhu felt that this was already very good, there must always be some restrictions.

After thinking for a few seconds, Yu Zhu put the silver bullet gun back into the inventory, and without stopping, he picked up the machete at his side and rushed towards the bull shark closest to him. He chopped it down with a direct horizontal stroke, cutting a flat skull on the shark.

The shark that was trying hard to bite the raft suddenly froze in place. Only its mouth kept biting, but it could no longer move left or right. Until Yu Zhu kicked it off the raft, it could no longer move.

[Congratulations on successfully killing 18 Bull Sharks]

Listening to the report beside him, Yu Zhu continued to chop at the next shark without turning back.

She was not fighting alone. Sini was also swimming around the edge of the raft. Her body had grown a lot, but it was still far from big enough to kill an adult shark independently. However, she had the advantage of excellent speed.

Having been with Yu Zhu for a long time, Xinni has experienced several battles of varying sizes and accumulated a lot of experience. She is very methodical in combat and knows how to attack the enemy's weaknesses. She will use her sharp claws to scratch the shark's eyes, or rush up when the shark is not prepared. Every time she can tear off a piece of flesh from the shark, and then before the shark can react, she will nimbly retreat and keep a distance, not giving the shark any chance to fight back.

When the sharks suffered a certain amount of damage, they would temporarily give up the raft in their mouths, allowing Sinni to repel the enemy. After several rounds, she successfully stopped the attacks of some sharks.

The man and the leopard made quite a noise. The bees have always had a keen sense of smell. They noticed something was wrong and immediately came to support.

Not to mention that everyone is now grasshoppers on the same raft. The queen bee has long regarded Yu Zhu as one of her own. Even though Yu Zhu has never asked them for anything, the queen bee has no intention of sitting back and watching the battle. She wants to guard her home with Yu Zhu.

Not long ago, it had led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to fly to the island to assist Yu Zhu. Even though it didn't help much, it was because of that battle that it clarified the direction of its bee life and found hope for advancement. They need to fight!

Then, the queen bee, whose body became increasingly round, led 100,000 neatly-organized bee soldiers and quickly rushed to the battlefield. With a wave of her short hands, she joined the battle without hesitation.

Bees are social insects whose members are roughly divided into two categories: queen bee, drones, and worker bees.

The queen bee is long-lived and large, primarily responsible for laying eggs and secreting "queen pheromone" to maintain order in the hive.*

Drones are stout bees with no stinger and no defenses. They mate with newly emerged queens and, after successfully reproducing, become a nuisance to the colony. Worker bees drive them out of the hive, leaving them to die of cold or starvation, or chase them to the bottom of the hive, encircling them and depriving them of food until they starve to death.

The main species in a bee colony is the worker bee, a female bee that is not fully developed and smaller than the queen bee and drones. They are responsible for all the work in the bee colony, such as collecting honey and pollen, raising the queen bee, raising brood, building the nest, and guarding the hive. Except for eating and sleeping, they work tirelessly every day.

The two types of bees have clear divisions of labor and cooperate with each other to form a large family, maintaining the harmony and integrity of the bee colony. *

Honeybees, on the other hand, are toothless. Their mouthparts consist of four parts: the mandibles, upper and lower lips. The mandibles are responsible for chewing wax sheets, repairing and carrying food when building a nest, while the upper lips and mandibles are used to chew food. Worker bees, the main fighting force of the hive, have a hooked stinger that connects not only to their venom glands but also to many internal organs. After stinging someone, if they want to leave, they must pull out the stinger, which can pull out internal organs and cause death.

The above are all the situations of normal bees in reality, but if you look closely, this group of Italian bees is very different from what you saw at the beginning. In addition to the fluffy body evolved to resist the severe cold, the edges of the mouthparts of the drones, including the male bees, have grown a circle of fine sharp teeth, which gives the male bees some attack power, so that in addition to reproduction, they no longer have only the option of starving to death. The hook carried by the stinger of the worker bee has also become slanted, and the arc is not so curled, which greatly increases the attack power, so they will not lose their lives when attacking with the stinger.

I ask you, how does this look like an Italian bee?

It is clearly a collection of bees that have evolved in many aspects!

It seems to be living a low-key life on the raft, surrounded by flowers and plants every day, but it is actually evolving quietly, surprising everyone.

I saw a large group of Italian bees gathered together and landed densely on several sharks.

As we all know, there is a chain of discrimination in all walks of life, and nature is no exception, especially the bull shark, which is the leader in the sea in terms of size and bite force. Bees are too small to attract the attention of sharks, and they don’t even look at them. How can elephants care about ants?

Even the needles of their tails that pierced the skin only caused a slight itching sensation, which was nothing to be afraid of. The damage was really pitifully low. Until a minute later, the shark's back seemed to have fermented and swelled up into a big loaf of bread. The whole fish turned over, revealing its white belly. It seemed that it would never wake up again.

There is no doubt that this is a typical symptom of being poisoned to the point of death.

The venom of a single bee is indeed not that great, but the problem is that this is a group of evolved intermediate bees, and their stingers can be reused, causing continuous, chronic, and high damage.

Before meeting Yu Zhu, the bees had fought before, but since following Yu Zhu, the enemies they faced were of a completely different level than before.

At that time, except for the big black bears with thick skin and flesh that were not afraid of stings, no one in the entire A area could be their opponent, but now they have obviously become stronger.

Seeing this, the queen bee who was remotely commanding on the raft suddenly felt more confident. If she could kill the first one, there would be a second one. All creatures that despised them would be buried in the sea.

The bees are well-trained, tacitly and obedient, and continue to land on the back of the next shark. However, their venom is limited. Each group of bees has at least 20,000 bees, and can only kill one shark at most. When the venom is used up, they will use their mouths to bite, gnawing on the shark's blood and flesh. Compared with their cute appearance, they are clearly a group of demons.

As their fellow sharks died one after another, the remaining sharks reacted and realized that this group of bees were not easy to deal with. They became alert and had to temporarily give up destroying the raft. Those who did not give up were basically poisoned to death.

However, there was a bull shark that was particularly smart. It deliberately waited for the bees to land on its back. Once everyone stopped, it decisively released its mouth that was biting the raft and dived into the sea, trying to drown the flying insects on its back.

Since it is a battle, casualties are inevitable. Even the most well-trained bees can be careless sometimes, not to mention emergencies. This move directly killed thousands of bees.

The methods used are naturally those for dealing with birds. Generally speaking, flying creatures cannot stay in water for a long time. Many seabirds that want to catch flying fish in the sea will quickly break out of the sea after diving into the sea, or directly land on the sea surface and use their sharp claws to catch fish.

How could they know that they would be mantises when they are hunting and would be preyed upon by sea sparrows (larger fish)?

Similarly, the wings of bees are their fatal weakness, and the thing they lack the least in this ocean is water.

Although bees breathe using the spiracles on their abdomens, they cannot swim and their wings are very thin. Once they get wet, the waterproof layer on their wings will be destroyed, making them unable to fly and eventually drowning.

However, it was the first time for the bees to fight with sharks. They had never even seen such a big sea creature before. It was already very good that they could perform so well. The victory in the first battle did make their mentality inflated. This wave of losses was like a blow to the head, a wake-up call for them.

Seeing that their counterattack was effective, the other sharks attacked the raft again. When the bees landed on them, they were no longer afraid and just followed their example by diving into the sea and rolling around.

During this period, the bees still suffered losses, but it was much better than the situation where half of the initial 20,000 were lost. They fought round-by-round battles with the sharks, with ups and downs. Their agility increased greatly, but the sharks were not so easy to kill. However, they could just play a disruptive role, and Yu Zhu would be there to finish them off later.

Twenty minutes later, many bull sharks near the raft died, leaving only a few scattered sharks in the distance. They were either immersed in eating or staring at the raft, but they did not dare to move forward because the attack was too fierce.

Outside the battle circle, Meihua and the two little birds hid in the greenhouse. With their insignificant strength, they didn't go out to cause trouble. Even the cats watching the battle at the door could feel how fierce the battle was.

Yu Zhu's strength is naturally beyond doubt, and she charmed the two little ones to the point of making them eyes full of love.

Meihua was also amazed by Xinni's agility, almost catching up with the flying monkey. The two little birds were also startled by the usually friendly and harmless bees. They were really poisonous! They were almost scared to death.

Yu Zhu even cut the shark's head as if it were tofu. After beating it for a while, even the fearless shark was scared. The bloody clothes splashed with the blood of the shark were too horrifying. Anyone would be scared!

After dealing with the nearby sharks, Yu Zhu took out his intermediate bow and arrow to finish off the sharks from a distance, with the shark's body parts lying around his feet.

During the process, a large bird was attracted by the flesh and blood and set its sights on her. When its sharp claws, which were bigger than its head, grabbed her, Yu Zhu leaped forward and cut off half of its wings, which immediately frightened all the other seabirds.

When victory was within sight, a huge dorsal fin appeared in the distance and swam rapidly towards the raft.
