Chapter 07 Winter

Large areas of golden appear in the mountain jungle, which is the natural change of deciduous trees with the change of seasons.

Gray sky.

The drizzle of cows.

Birds fly south, snakes and rats lie dormant.

The subtropical winter is very cold.

The temperature remains above zero degrees, there is no ice and snow, and below 10 degrees, ordinary insects may either freeze to death or hibernate.

The pervasive moisture is the best medium for delivering coldness.

The jungle fell into a dead silence.

The once lively mountain peaks also became silent, leaving only two cockroaches of all sizes and sizes still active.

The frequency of the Red Cockish tribe soldiers going out to hunt is reduced, and the time to leave is extended each time. Sometimes, it takes two or three days to return after going out.

The people hunted were large warm-blooded animals such as elk and wild boar. They should have worked together with their nearby companions to kill them. The corpses brought back were very incomplete and could only be divided into a small piece.

The Red Cockish tribe soldiers became thrifty and took good care of every bit of meat.

Another little cockroach that is still able to move is Banbu.

Banbu speculated that the main reason is that the dominant metal core radiation causes soul mutation, and the rebirth of the soul leads to the red cockroach gene mutation. A small part of the reason is that raspberry fruits strengthen cell activity and enhance their own cold resistance.

Being conscious and can move freely, but the growth rate is very slow.

The warriors of the Red Cockish tribe noticed that this black male sub-adult tribe could actually move in winter. They were amazed. Every time they returned from hunting, they would take the initiative to cut off a large piece of fresh meat and throw it at the entrance of the pendant chamber in Banbu.

Banbu enjoyed the hospitality from the soldiers of the same race. In return, whenever the rain stopped, he would busy collecting dead leaves everywhere, cutting them into pieces, and transporting them under the Force plant it planted.

Plant growth requires nutrients, and Force plants are no exception.

There seems to be no knowledge about farming in the inheritance of the Red Balloon tribe. Banbu has never seen the Red Balloon tribe warrior who protects him loosens the soil and fertilizes the planted Force plant.

The soil on the mountainside is relatively barren, and rotten branches and leaves can increase fertility.

Banbu focuses on taking care of the raspberry bushes that have already started to bear fruit. There is another consideration in doing this: the Force plant cannot be seen anywhere. This Red Cockatoo tribe warrior is weak and cannot take up too much Force fruit. Perhaps, next autumn, after becoming the Force creature, you can share some from it.

The warriors of the Red Cockish tribe could not guess the complex ideas in Banbu's head, and even understood the purpose of its strange behavior, but they did not stop them. When they were bored in their spare time, they lay silently beside the raspberry bush, watching Banbu running around and busy.

The winter in the jungle is quiet but not peaceful, and death happens all the time.

The cockroach mother disappeared.

Banbu has been searching for it on a long journey, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

In order to survive the test of the severe cold, cockroaches will follow the guidance of inheriting memory. More than a dozen or even dozens of them are crowded in a nest, truly huddling together to keep warm.

However, the effect is not obvious. A rough statistics show that the nests where nymphs gather, one hundred and one hundred, and the nests where sub-adults and adults gather are seven or eight, and only the strongest young cockroaches can survive.

There are less than one ten that can be overcome in the long winter.

Severe natural elimination screens out the best genes to survive and reproduce.

In the spring of the coming year, surviving cockroaches will feed on dead companions to receive nutritional supplements, grow rapidly, or reproduce wildly.

Then, throughout the mountain range, the Red Buffalo tribe quickly became prosperous and became the largest number of "ruling Zergs".

...

"Absorbing the Force and completing the 19th growth of the Shell, I will be the Red Buffalo tribe warrior."

"Only the Red Broadbridge who has experienced the test of cold winter and hot summer can feel the force of the universe."

"Sitting in the daytime, cultivating energy, exercising at night, and exercising your body."

"You must eat more meat and keep your body healthy at all times."

"To become a Red Cockish warrior, the first life seed should be chosen for low shrub seeds..."

Boom!

The spring thunder exploded, and the sleeping Banbu was awakened.

The 18th time of the shedding growth is approaching, and it is interrupted by interference.

I woke up in a daze and checked in panic, but fortunately, no side effects were left.

Looking up, the stones at the top of the slab are covered with the characters "卍", and each character represents 6 days and nights.

This is the record that started when Banbu was moved. It has been 25 words so far, which means 150 days. This is the night of the 151st day.

In addition, I lived on the mountain next to me for 64 days before moving in. I went to this planet for 215 days. Based on the calculation of 30 days as a month, it has been more than 7 months. I have experienced half a hot summer, a whole bleak autumn and a desolate winter.

Banbu turned his head and looked at the light gray new shell, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I was finally 19 years old!

Eat a few leaves, then eat the faded shells, and then eat some stored animal meat.

When you walk to the entrance of the cave and look out, the spring rain is endless, not a good weather to go out.

Leaning in the sanctuary room, waiting silently.

The new carapace comes into contact with the air and slowly hardens, and the color becomes deeper, and in the early morning, it completely turns into a pure black with metallic luster.

The soul guides gene mutation. Every time the body is molted and grown, the body structure will undergo subtle changes. After more than ten times, the appearance of the banner cloth is quite different from that of the male red cockroach.

The two front legs are well developed and powerful, with sharp toes, curved like sickles, and fine teeth, which can cut leaves. The three toes are closed and like nest cuts. The tough leaves and veins can be easily cut.

The tibia of the two front legs are covered with slender spikes, shining with a dangerous metallic luster.

More like the predator in the insect world, "mantis", to be precise, it should be a metal mantis". The difference is that without the mantis' bloated abdomen dragging it down, it can continue to run more agile and quicker than mantis.

After a long period of unremitting training, the veins are also developed and gradually have a little ability to fly in the air.

The flight ability of 19-year-old adults remains to be determined.

What Banbu is more concerned about is a new memory obtained from this molting and lethargy sleep: to become a red cockroach warrior, the first life seed should be chosen for the shrub seeds...

The question about how to continue to grow after becoming a warrior of the Red Cockish tribe is very vague.

The "fate species" mentioned here. After thinking about it, Banbu is 90% sure that it is linked to the Force plants. More specific, it is hard to figure it out. What is exciting about (worms) is that there are really many Force plants on this planet and there is room for choice.

When Banbu was a human, the Hos family was in power. Their ancestors served as governor of a B-class industrial planet, leaving behind a large political relationship; in the business world, the family held a high-tech company and held several large interstellar technology companies; in terms of practice, the family mastered several exclusive secret techniques; in terms of military, the family had elders serving in the Seventh Army of the Thunder Expeditionary Force, serving as the most elite 702 Pioneer Regiment, with great military achievements and a major general.

Such a large family that is fully blooming only provides for one Force plant.

"All signs show that in the future, I will become a warrior of the Red Cockish tribe, and I will be able to plant a large number of Force plants and open up my own orchard. I will have endless Force fruits to eat every year!"

Whenever I think of it, Banbu can't help but feel excited.
