Chapter 784: The Mutated Corpse Worm Returns
In order to be able to travel day and night and not catch a cold on the road, the queen's tent had to be very large and warm, and everything had to be taken care of. Besides, there were many eggs that were hatching, which were precious treasures and had to be taken with them.
By the way, there is a kind of large straight-tube worm whose mouthparts and back are connected. It helped a lot this time. Although it was a bit slow, it was really good at clearing snow and obstacles.
The key is to be able to install them. The Zerg basically relies on them for everything. In the end, even the house was demolished, and the windows and doors could not be left down. It was really like plucking feathers from a passing goose, leaving nothing behind.
Three days later, the well-prepared group of people and insects finally set off on their journey. Since Jingshu had led the way, the return journey was easy.
After such a long period of breeding, although a batch is traded every month, now at Jingshu's request, the number has skyrocketed to tens of thousands.
"These are all mobile rations." Jingshu felt that Xiaowei was much more powerful than Zhang Lang. Cockroaches reproduced quickly and in large numbers, but they were not as good as these insects. They had a fast growth cycle, and one of them could weigh hundreds of kilograms when it grew up!
Little did they know... Zhang Lang's cockroaches reproduce quickly and are quite valuable. They lay hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time and can be eaten. Moreover, they are much larger than ordinary cockroaches.
Xiaowei was still a little uneasy, so Jingshu had to comfort her from time to time. The best way was to send her some delicious food. Xiaowei was also a girl who was easily satisfied. As long as she had some delicious food, she would be fine immediately.
In view of so many mobile rations, Jingshu also has to treat Xiaowei well. She will send a portion of what she eats to Xiaowei and discuss their accommodation arrangements with Xiaowei.
"You can live near the Wucheng Railway Station. The tunnel starts from there, so it's convenient to live there. The old train station can be renovated and some holes dug underground for people to live in."
"If you need anything, digging a tunnel will be convenient. I've already found the location for you."
Xiao Wei nodded: "Everything is up to you."
With Xiaowei's words, the next step became much simpler. It was nothing more than the living environment, water source, and food.
There were no other dangers on the road. With Jingshu around, any troubles could be resolved quickly. After all, Jingshu was experienced.
Finally, a week later, we arrived at Wucheng Railway Station. It was completely covered with snow and was in a dilapidated state after the earthquake and floods.
The tiny insects simply dig out their own nests. With the queen by their side, they have a clear division of labor: those who dig the nests, those who go out to find food, those who protect the queen, and those who place the eggs in the warm incubator.
There was no need for Jingshu to worry about it, it was completely stable. Oh, and speaking of the compensation for digging the tunnel, Jingshu had also discussed it with Xiaowei.
"It won't take much. The bugs are just sitting around doing nothing anyway..."
"If you really want a reward... the weather is getting colder, and we need those hairy things you mentioned to make more daily necessities."
"By the way, it would be even better if you could give us some delicious food!"
Look, how simple and plain the requirements of the entire Xiaowei clan are? Jingshu agreed.
Compared to the food compensation that Jun Bao paid for having so many people build the road, Jing Shu only had to pay for the food of dozens of people and Changmao, which basically had no cost, which was simply insignificant.
The food will naturally not be provided by our own family, but by the cooperative project on Xishan. When the next transaction begins, Xishan will pay twice as much for food and supplies.
Jun Bao has urged Jing Shu several times...
Jingshu saw that Xiaowei had already dug the insect nest and arranged where the tribesmen would live, so she immediately took her men and started digging the first stop.
The mud mermaid is mainly responsible for digging holes. With its invulnerable body, it is easy for it to loosen the soil first, and then let the worms dig, and finally let the straight-tube worms transport a large amount of soil out.
This time Jingshu learned a trick and dug an exit every mile, which made it easier to reinforce and prevent collapse. Then she continued digging the tunnel every 100 meters.
Dig like this
The speed is faster. After all, one hundred meters less will be dug for every mile. Time is money now. With such a long tunnel, who knows how much can be dug during the migration? We can only dig as much as possible.
The earlier excavated materials will not be wasted. According to Jun Bao’s requirements for the tunnel, it only needs to be widened, and the speed is very fast.
After digging for several kilometers, Jingshu finally informed Junbao that they could start working on the tunnel.
This busy schedule lasted another month.
After Jingshu had made all the arrangements, she dragged her tired body back home, and it happened to be the Chinese New Year.
The end of the world has finally arrived at the beginning of the year, which is known as the most tragic year.
The whole world has gradually entered the world of ice and snow. According to the latitude, the heavy snow in some places has turned into ice, while in some places the snow has begun to melt.
The heavy snow in Wucheng never stopped.
Wucheng used to have four main roads, which were responsible for clearing the snow and clearing the roads for traffic every day. After all, people still had to go to get off work and transport food every day, and there were also people who needed to go out for various things.
As the snow continues to fall, there is only one main road left in Wucheng, making transportation extremely inconvenient!
All you see is silver-gray, covering most of the buildings.
Jingshu grabbed a handful of snow, made it into a snowball, and threw it at the fat chicken that was sticking its butt up looking for food.
The snowballs scattered all over the ground with a "puff" sound.
The fat chicken clucked angrily, and was so scared that one of its eggs accidentally fell into the snow pile and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Crack!" My balls fell off!
The fat chicken turned around and dived into a snow pile that was almost as high as a person to look for eggs.
Jingshu shrugged. She really didn't mean it. She didn't expect that the fat chicken would lay an egg when it was frightened. After all, it was just one egg and couldn't be wasted. Jingshu ran over to see where the egg fell.
"Cuckoo?" The fat chicken cawed twice.
Jingshu took out a shovel and shoveled away the snow, then saw a dense pile of long black worms that had eaten all the eggs.
The fat chicken became even angrier. It clucked and roared, then picked up the long worms and swallowed them. The fat chicken finished eating all the worms in a few minutes.
Just when the fat chicken thought it had finished eating, a lot more appeared around it.
"The mutated carrion worms are back!" Jing Shu said in a serious tone.
In their first year, carrion beetles eat everything and can eat up all the food of many people. They develop faster than maggots, but the adult beetles are very small. They have many natural enemies: such as frogs and birds, and their biggest natural enemy is maggots.
Where there are carrion beetles, there are maggots.
But the carrion worms in the sea have no natural enemies. After four years of mutation, they have made a comeback. Not only have they grown bigger, but now that the land is so cold and other animals have become extinct, they have no natural enemies!
