079 The Queen of Hatching
(Thanks to jiang28, tigers who eat pigs for rewards)
rezo.Joro. In Portuguese, it means prayer. It is also the name of a fortress in Brazil.
In Ruoluo City, there are 527 humans. Five years ago, this number was ten times that of today.
This castle with a diameter of 500 meters will definitely be among the most sturdy buildings in the world before the insect scourge.
Carlo squatted on the ground in the middle, marking with a branch: Carlo Ferreira Motalima.
This is a name he no longer uses.
But he didn't want to forget the way he wrote this name, because it contained the father's surname and the mother's surname. This is the only impression of his parents left in his memory. Yesterday, he still remembered his mother's appearance, but now... he forgot.
Carlo is 17 years old this year, and like everyone here, he is small and slim, like a skeleton.
Yesterday, the Lula's child died. It was Carlo who personally sent the child, who had only three kilograms in more than a month, into the Worm Tower. This was the first life born in Ruolo City this year, but everyone knew that this severely malnourished child would not survive.
For some reason, when the hideous worm tear the little Lula's body apart, the last impression of Carlo's parents dissipated. The only remaining name Carlo Ferreira Motalima.
Carlo rubbed his eyes, his eyes were so dry that it hurt. He heard that this was because his body lacked vitamins, so he could eat a few meals of vegetables. Thinking of the vegetables he had eaten at Christmas, Carlo swallowed, but now vegetables are luxury goods, and they were prepared for those warriors who dared to go to the city. As long as Carlo dared, he could eat them. But Carlo would have nightmares just when he saw the insects! The only strength he had left after he finished his work was used to kneel down to worship the insect god, where would he dare to leave the fort?
"Everything is the wrath of the insect god. Please forgive the offense of your ignorant people..." Carlo knelt down on the spot, prayed again, and felt pious in his heart.
When Carlo finished praying, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Carlo!"
Carlo was startled and heard that the voice behind him was bald, and he knew that the bald might have been waiting behind him, waiting for his prayers to finish his prayers - at any time, he could not interrupt his brother who prayed to the insect god. This is the iron law of Ruo City.
"Carlo, it's a brothers' gathering later. You can prepare for it, and you will lead the singing today." The bald man shouted, and Carlo was immediately delighted.
"Singer! Atonement, and you can atone for sin again!"
From the church, it is actually a stone house, when Carlo came out, he felt ashamed on his face.
Most people are the same, with a strong sense of shame on their faces.
They sing the sins of human beings towards nature. So many species have been extinct, so large forests have been destroyed...
Real examples make them believe that insects are punishments brought down by the insect god.
Just like during the Anti-Japanese period, the most intense resistance was the Japanese-occupied area, and the most thorough surrender was also the Japanese-occupied area.
The only remaining fortress in Brazil, which has already destroyed its country, has been divided into two distinct factions, one that fights to the death. One that is worshipped by the insect god.
Naturally, the insects are all focused on resisting the fortress. The insect god worships this place with very few insects - this alone can convince the worship party of the insect god.
They basically lost communication. But if anyone had been to all the fortresses, he would be stunned that the people in the fortress worshipped by the insect gods would live better. At least, on the spiritual level. They had faith, struggled to live every day, waiting for the day of atonement.

Wang Chong has already reached 6.
In four months, Wang Chong crossed the Pacific Ocean.
With the only little left of geographical knowledge, Wang Chong and Dasha, No. 3, boarded the fast lane of the equatorial countercurrent.
During these four months, Wang Chong was the captain. Because he picked up a fishing boat, it is no exaggeration to say that he really picked up a fishing boat.
He even picked up a giant cruise ship. If Wang Chong hadn't been able to drive, he might have really rushed around the ship. Of course, Wang Chong knew that this tour was impossible, and he had heard that driving such a ferry would require dozens of people.
The whole world has not changed so drastically for a long time. What Wang Chong is most moved is that he met many people who regard boats as their home along the way. He floated on the sea for a few years, and their fuel had already been exhausted, allowing the boats to float in the sea, and they lived on this boat all day long.
What Wang Chong could not forget was the thick stench on the boat, and the wall of the boat that had been eroded by wind and waves all year round without maintenance. The most unforgettable thing was the numbness on the face of the man on the boat, the festering mouth, and the figure who sat on the bow of the boat holding a fishing rod, was all day long.
Wang Chong originally wanted to make a joke, saying that this was the highest state of loneliness, but Wang Chong couldn't get it out, even in his heart. Just as a rich child could not understand the children in poor mountainous areas, Wang Chong could not understand this level of despair.
Wang Chong followed the ship from afar for a few days. His mind is very strong now. From afar, he can sense other people's joys, sorrows, and happiness. But Wang Chong usually couldn't detect the slightest emotional fluctuations of that person after a whole day. He was like a stone sculpture without thinking.
Wang Chong also saw the water human fortress, which was a strange whole of many ships connected together. An oil tanker and a cruise ship were the main body, and dozens of ships of all sizes were tied together with steel ropes. It seemed that the cruise ship was responsible for living, and other ships were used for other functions.
These things that Wang Chong had never seen before brought Wang Chong to great shock. He wondered why humans did not have any reports on this place. Later, he seemed to figure it out that this place was equivalent to a paradise. If someone knew that "they could live, throw us here and wait for death"... such a result would be terrible.
Later, Wang Chong also saw several ownerless ships with owners rotting in the cabin. One of the ships was engraved with words. Wang Chong didn't understand that language and just thought it might be a last word, a diary, or something else.
Wang Chong searched out some things he could use on those boats, and the one he was most satisfied with was the medicine box. Because of the special environment, the medicine box on the boat was waterproof and able to float on the water.
What surprised Wang Chong was No. 3. After eating an egg of a worm, No. 3 successfully formed a cocoon. It has been a month since then. Wang Chong’s current feeling is that the longer the evolution time, the more powerful the evolution ability will be. From this point of view, No. 3 after the third evolution is worth looking forward to.
There were fifteen eggs left after the insect. Wang Chong swallowed a little with the idea of "maybe it can evolve once", but except for more energy, there was no other thing. Wang Chong asked No. 3 to eat the remaining insect eggs. Halfway through No. 3, he had already formed a cocoon.
Wang Chong devoured the brain worms and knew how to hatch the eggs of the worm. It was simple. Just place the green crystal block in the cave where the brain worm is located next to the eggs of the worms. After Wang Chong learned about this, he went to the nest again, but there was only a female insect that had just formed his own power. The eggs, green crystal blocks and so on had been transferred by the Zerg.
But what's surprising is that the black crystal also has a green crystal block-like effect. Even... the effect is far from the green crystal block.
Wang Chong could vaguely feel that the two largest insect eggs were about to break their shells.
Of course, it is impossible for the equatorial countercurrent to send Wang Chong directly to the shore. Three and a half months later, when there were about a hundred kilometers left from Land 6, Wang Chong and Dasha abandoned the ship and dragged the box containing the insect emperor's eggs to Land 6.
Dasha's eyes could be opened normally, but it still hurt under the scorching sun at noon. When he first went into the sea, Dasha's skin felt severe discomfort, and the skin hidden under the fine scales was painful and itchy. Fortunately, Dasha gradually got used to the sea water.
A week later, Wang Chongdeng 6.
The first feeling is “It feels so good to be down-to-earth!”
"Where is No. 2?" Dasha asked. He clearly remembered that Wang Chong had said No. 2 was on the other side of the sea.
Wang Chong was a little helpless. He tried to explain the "death" to Dasha. But after several attempts, Wang Chong gave up. Perhaps because it was too difficult to explain, or perhaps because he couldn't bear to tell him. So, this lie continued to this day.
Wang Chong explained for a long time and finally explained clearly, "When the home is built, I will come back on the second day."
"Wang Chong, family. No. 2, family." Dasha looked sincere: "No. 3, family."
Wang Chong suddenly felt a little sad and pointed his slightly huge head. He began to look for where to make a nest.
Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the medicine box. Wang Chong quickly opened the medicine box, but saw that an egg behind an insect had broken.
Chapter completed!
