The reason why there is only one queen bee in each generation of the bee tribe is that when the previous queen bee lays eggs, she will pass on all her energy to her own eggs to ensure that the eggs can mature quickly after hatching and have stronger fertility and spiritual connection, so that the bee tribe can get rid of the stagnation caused by the replacement of queen bees as quickly as possible.
There is no need to explain what fertility is. As for mental connection, it is the ability of the queen bee to summon other members of the bee colony and to issue orders through intracranial voice transmission regardless of distance. This connection will give a certain blessing to the combat power of the drones. Usually, the stronger the mental power of the queen bee, the stronger and more drones she can control.
It can also be understood as a kind of irresistible bond for the drones.
These two abilities are essential for a queen bee.
In order to ensure that this ability is passed down from generation to generation without being weakened, and to maintain consistency and unity within the bee colony, each generation of queen bees will only have one female egg.
But at this critical moment of the battle with the Zerg, the queen bee suddenly laid two female eggs.
This is no less than a devastating blow to the bee tribe.
The bee clan is a race whose life force is absolutely dependent on the queen bee. Once the queen bee dies and the female eggs are not born and mature in time, the vitality and combat effectiveness of the rest of the bee clan will drop exponentially or even fall into a large-scale death. Only when the next queen bee appears can the bee clan be revived by relying on the queen bee's control over the bee clan.
The birth of two female eggs led to the bee tribe's disastrous defeat in the final battle.
When the queen bee was on the verge of death, she could only choose the slightly larger of the two female eggs to inherit. But even so, because of the competition with the other female egg in the mother's womb, the two female eggs were still far from mature. Even though the queen bee had made her choice, the selected female egg took a hundred years to finally hatch.
As the original body was not chosen, it naturally lost the chance to hatch and turned into a dead egg.
The timeline that Bai Yuzhi traveled through now happened to be the second year after the female egg that gave birth to the heroine successfully hatched, and the heroine, Fei Ji, the queen bee of this generation, was born.
The original two female eggs were placed inside the hive. Because all drones were not allowed to approach when the queen bee was giving birth, even if they sensed the queen bee's death and the birth of the female egg, they could not tell which of the two female eggs received the queen bee's inheritance.
Therefore, Fei Ji and her original body have always been properly placed in the greenhouse at the center of the hive to ensure that the real next generation queen bee will not be exiled.
The reproduction method of bees is much simpler than that of humans. The eggs conceived by the queen bee are very small when they are just born. They will be placed in a greenhouse and cared for by drones. The eggshell will change from soft to hard, and then gradually grow larger as the bee offspring inside grow, and finally develop into a human form and break out of the shell.
Drones mature in their infancy, while female eggs hatch only after reaching maturity, and are born in mature form.
Perhaps it was because the original body absorbed a lot of nutrients while in the mother's womb. Even after Fei Ji accepted the inheritance, the original body did not die immediately. Instead, it continued to develop relying on the nutrients at birth. It did look much slower than Fei Ji, but it was certain that it was not dead.
The bee tribe also nurtured her until Fei Ji hatched.
Whoever matures first proves to have accepted the inheritance and becomes the strongest queen bee. The original body, who serves as the "substitute", is ordered by Fei Ji to be completely exiled and abandoned from the hive.
This means that Fei Ji wants to completely deprive the original body of any possibility of survival.
There can only be one queen bee in each generation of a bee colony, so the original queen's eggs are taken away from the hive.
Bai Yuzhi looked at the predetermined plot that was about to happen with a smile on his face.
It has been a long time since she has been such a traditional cannon fodder.
[During the year of being abandoned, the original body continued to develop until it was captured by the Zerg just as it was about to hatch and became nutrients for the Zerg Queen. As a result, when Fei Ji later declared war on the Zerg, the drones were confused by the pheromones left behind by the original body...]
The more the system spoke, the more guilty it felt. How could it have created such a character for its host? It had to say goodbye to the world before it even hatched, and after it died, it would be branded as a scourge to the bee clan. It was too pitiful.
Not only that, according to the current timeline, it will be time for Bai Yuzhi to hatch, and at that time he will have to face the siege of the Zerg, and be captured by the Zerg to serve as food for the Zerg Queen!
Doesn't this mean that we are surrounded by enemies and have nowhere to escape?
The system was terrified: [Host, what should we do?]
Now Bai Yuzhi is not yet able to break out of the shell, which means she cannot move. In this state, not to mention the Zerg, even a human can carry her away on the spot. The danger level is SSS level and extremely endangered.
The system checked the next plot direction in a panic, and then it became even more uneasy.
[Host! In less than ten minutes, the Zerg will discover you!]
In the eyes of the unintelligent Zerg, the white jade is now a big white egg, full of rich nutrients, which must be presented to the Zerg Queen.
Once Bai Yuzhi reaches the Zerg nest and is caught by the Zerg Queen, he will surely die.
The worm mother is not like the queen bee, who is weak and can only rely on mental power to control the bee colony. The worm mother is huge in size, and a single movement of her body can crush Bai Yuzhi.
The system is in tears.
It felt that its host was being maliciously targeted, but it didn't know how to "seek justice" for Bai Yuzhi.
In the remaining ten minutes, Bai Yuzhi browsed around the system mall. She did not obtain the energy of world consciousness in her previous world, nor did she have any gifts to rely on. She had just tried hard to break the shell, but it was obvious that the shell was not strong enough for her.
Now the only way to survive is to find useful props.
——Immature female eggs that have not been born do not have the ability to form a spiritual connection.
So even if they had a mental link, Bai Yuzhi could immediately use the voice transmission in her mind to summon the bee tribe, but the insect tribe that discovered her was just a low-level insect that could be killed by any bee tribe. Now Bai Yuzhi, who had not yet hatched, could only wait to die on the spot.
She stared at a certain item in the system mall.
I don’t know if this thing can have the same effect on “eggshells” as it does on humans.
[Host! That thing is coming!]
The white jade's vision is blocked by the shell, but the system can clearly see everything outside through data analysis.
In the system's data recording, a Zerg suddenly appeared less than a hundred meters away from Bai Yuzhi.
This is a low-level insect race. It has no human form on its body. It is covered with a black shell and has a hideous and foul-smelling mouthparts.
It saw the female egg not far away and began to salivate.
