will of the planet

Chapter 11 Chapter 17: The Insect Star
As soon as he got back to the colonial warship, Lin Xiao didn't even care about the corpse of the ant monster, and hurried to see the eggs brought by the scouts. He was in a very good mood.

He directly announced that he would eat canned worm meat for the past two days, and the soldiers cheered unceasingly upon hearing this.

Lin Xiao casually drilled all the eggs into energy points, and was very excited when he saw that the balance reached 4 digits.

1030 energy points!
103 workers can be cloned, or an equivalent number of soldiers.

Lin Xiao didn't clone right away either. He doesn't have enough food now, and if he adds 100 people, he can't afford it at all.

Canned grass can satisfy hunger, but it also needs to be eaten with canned worm meat. Eating canned grass alone is completely unbearable.

Moreover, the living quarters have not yet been built, and so many people cannot sleep on the ground.

Not planning to expand the army for the time being, Lin Xiao will add 30 workers first, so that the construction speed will increase a lot. Now that there are so many ant monster corpses, it can last for 3 weeks by saving food and money.

This is still under the condition that the number of people does not increase. Now the energy point is sufficient, and the only thing limiting him is food.

The current food sources are only ant monsters and weeds, and relying on these two alone is not enough, and the food resources of the planet under the feet are very scarce, not even a single animal can be seen, so it is difficult to get supplements.

Lin Xiao quickly thought of the planet where the bugs lived. To feed so many bugs, there must be a lot of food.

He learned from the memory of the ant monsters that they feed on a kind of white striped soft worm, which has strong reproductive ability and no attack power, and they live by eating plants.

"It's just... so disgusting!" Lin Xiao got goose bumps after learning about the soft worm's appearance from the ant monster's memory.

Now it's not a matter of disgusting or not, he has no choice at all, at worst, he will eat worms himself, and these soft worms will be eaten by the clones.

Without having to eat by himself, Lin Xiao immediately felt much more comfortable.

"I just don't know if there is planetary will over there."

According to the information Lin Xiao got, the planet that cannot conceive life must have no will of the planet, even if there is, it is the kind without consciousness, and the degree of danger is almost zero.

But this kind of planet full of bugs, maybe the will of the planet is a bug.

It would be fine if the bugs didn't control the entire planet, but if they did, they would open the perspective of God, and creatures from other planets would notice if they entered.

At that time, a bunch of natural disasters will strike, and the dead will not know how they died.

Even thinking about this, Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the will of the planet is like the gods that everyone said, omnipotent, compared with human beings, they can only be counted as an ant.

"Never mind him, we'll talk about it later." Lin Xiao didn't think about it any more, and continued to focus on the insect star.

Zong Xing is going to go there, but not himself. Although he is bold, he still has a certain fear of these unknown things.

After thinking about it, he directly gathered the soldiers and went to the space crack 1 km away. There had been no ant monsters here for several days, and it seemed safer.

Lin Xiao was going to send two scouts to investigate the situation, first to make sure that something was safe, and then send someone in if it was safe.

Finding food is also the main task. You can also look at the situation of the creek on the other side of the space rift. If conditions permit, direct the water to expand the water volume of the creek.

You must know that Lin Xiao is going to farm the land, and he can't do it without water.

Seeing the two scouts pass through the space crack, Lin Xiao became nervous and ordered the soldiers to stand by and get ready to face the bugs.

A few seconds passed, and a scout returned in a hurry, stood up, and said: "Report to the captain, everything is safe, no bugs were found!"

The scout then briefly described what he had seen.

"Okay, you continue to investigate the situation, and remember not to disturb those dangerous insects!" Lin Xiao ordered.

"Yes!"

After the scout got the order, he entered the space crack again. Lin Xiaocai looked away when he saw the scout leave.

Put the soldiers behind you on standby and dispatch 5 workers to dig up the river on the other side.

According to the scouts, there is a big river on the other side. Due to the excessive water volume, it spread to the shore, and thus entered the space crack and came here.

The workers can dig a canal to guide the water from the river here.

Sending spearmen to protect the workers, Lin Xiao waited quietly. The canal was dug very quickly, as long as the last bit of soil was dug, water would come.

He was not in a hurry, and sent workers to dig the creek and lead the water to the deadly battleship. Even if 30 workers were added, the number was still not enough. After all, this was a big project, and it would take a few days to complete it.

The scouts who went to explore soon returned, and they found a lot of soft worms, but they didn't catch enough people.

But if you increase the manpower, you may be discovered by the nearby ant monsters. The number of ant monsters in Zongxing is very large.

There are no less than 3 ant monsters within a kilometer of the space crack alone, and they may be discovered if they are not careful.

However, these ant monsters did not run out of the territory when it was time to lay eggs. As long as they did not get too close, they would not be attacked.

Even so, the range of activities is still not large, only a radius of 4 meters, beyond which they will be attacked.

There are not many soft worms that can be caught, probably only enough for the current population to feed for 3 days.

"That's all?" Lin Xiao was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he was counting on soft worms to break through the food restriction.

"Also...we found a fruit bush, and there are many small red fruits attached to the straw. The soft insects live on these fruit bushes." The scout continued.

While talking, the scout took out a piece of grass that he had just dug up. It was a bit like a water onion, but it was stronger. It was full of granular fruits, and it felt like a stone.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he saw this. According to the information he got, the soft worms were more than 10 centimeters long, and they were white and fat, and 20 of them weighed at least 1 kilogram.

It takes a lot of food to eat them in their size.

"How many fruit bushes like this are there?" Lin Xiao asked suddenly.

The scout quickly replied: "It's full!"

"That's interesting..."

Lin Xiao pondered. A large number of soft worms used fruit bushes as food, but the fruit bushes were still lush. From a common sense point of view, this was impossible.

Unless these fruits are poisonous, soft worms don't eat them at all!
"You're lying to me!" Lin Xiao's eyes fell on the scout, his face darkened. He hated others to lie to him the most.

The scout was shocked, and quickly explained: "Captain, I didn't lie..."

"Of course you didn't lie to me." Lin Xiao interrupted suddenly.

Hearing this sentence, the scout breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the fruit in his hand with lingering fear, and wished to throw it out immediately.

Lin Xiao ignored the scouts, raised his arm to scan the fruit, and felt relieved after confirming that it was non-toxic.

"Is this really red fruit grass?" Lin Xiao learned about the food of soft worms in the ant monster's memory, and of course he also knew the food of soft worms.

It's just that the ant monsters don't care much about these, the information is very vague, only one of them is more profound, Lin Xiao named it the red fruit grass, and they eat the fruit of this plant when they have no food.

This kind of grass bears fruit, its reproduction and survival ability are amazing, and as long as the conditions are right, it can mature in a short time.

Relying on these excellent abilities, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the consumption of softworms, and this plant is also suitable as a basic food.
