I Am the Swarm

Through echolocation, the attackers should be four fishes, with a body length of about 30 centimeters.

Luo Wen felt a little more relaxed when he mentioned it, the number was small, and the size was not dominant, and he didn't know where they got the courage to dare to challenge him.

The attackers approached quickly, and Rowan finally saw what they looked like. They have a particularly large head, but a very thin tail, and the overall color is dark gray with some red half-moon patterns. There are dense fangs and sharp teeth in the mouth, which looks very oppressive.

It's a pity that they ran into Rowan who had been prepared for a long time. As soon as a strange fish approached Luo Wen, a huge claw clawed towards it. Although the claws look a bit cumbersome, they are actually very fast, causing a row of white water waves underwater.

The strange fish was also very agile, and avoided the claw with a twist of its body. But at this moment, a step shot out from the shadow pierced its body from the side.

For a while, the red blood gradually spread out in the water.

The three companions following the strange fish sensed the smell of blood. They rushed to Luo Wen's body, took advantage of the situation, turned around, and bit the injured strange fish.

In an instant, the injured strange fish was torn apart, and various limbs, scales, and pieces of meat floated in the water.

This sudden change caught Rowan a little off guard, and his subsequent set of attacks also lost the target.

But the following changes left Rowan no time to be surprised. Just a few seconds after the blood energy diffused, hundreds of abnormal fluctuations suddenly came from the depths of the river.

They seemed to be startled by this blood, and rushed towards this side at a high speed.

Through the feedback information, Rowan noticed that they were all this kind of strange fish. It is foreseeable that next, this small area may be staged full of martial arts.

It is better for an outsider, Luo Wen, not to participate in this kind of internal activities of the strange fish. Finding that the three strange fish no longer paid attention to him, Luo Wen hurriedly swam towards the distance.

Just after swimming more than ten meters, the water behind him seemed to be boiling, and dense white waves stirred up on the water surface. Luo Wen didn't have the intention to look back at the excitement. After swimming more than 50 meters, he quietly poked his head out from the river.

The scope of commotion in the back is getting bigger and bigger. Rowan's swimming speed is too slow, and he might be involved in it after a while. Compared with the hideous teeth of the strange fish, those flying insects seem to be much cuter.

Between ordinary danger and extreme danger, this question does not seem to be difficult to choose.

Fortunately, Rowan had already swam a certain distance, and the flying insects seemed to be attracted by the changes on the water surface. And Rowan just took a shower, and most of the pollen particles have been washed away.

Luo Wen slowly climbed ashore, and his figure gradually disappeared, but the floating water stains and dripping water droplets still indicated his movements. But now no one pays attention to him.

Rowan couldn't wait for this, so he rushed into the jungle and disappeared gradually.

The surrounding environment is familiar, with his remaining pheromones. I visited here a few days ago, and there is a burrow of a fat rat nearby where I can temporarily settle down.

As for, where did the fat tail go?

The crypt is relatively spacious for Luo Wen, and the unpleasant smell at the beginning has almost dissipated after these few days. The series of actions just now consumed a lot of his physical strength. If it was before, he might have to eat before resting. But since there is a tail fat organ, what is this consumption?

Rowan closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into his mind, and uploaded the flying insect genes he had just obtained to the swarm network.

This is a new function he just discovered a few days ago. He can upload his genetic data to the Zerg Network for backup. Only he and the brood have the download permission.

It's like it used to be just local storage, but now it's cloud storage.

This function made Rowan a lot more convenient. He didn't have to return to the base every time he got a new gene. Only by linking the brood could the gene be shared.

After uploading, he began to check the flying insect genes. Now that he has the ability to actively select genetic evolution, he can no longer passively accept various talents, but can pick and choose.

Like the genes harvested before, he only chose heat source induction and echolocation, and gave up the rest like weaving nets.

While weaving webs looks cool, gaining this new ability requires the addition of a new gland in the body. And in his body, besides the venom glands at the root of the teeth, there is also the "Gatling" system.

In addition to having two glands, each of which stores different chemical substances, the "Gatling" system also has a reaction chamber. This system has taken up most of the space in his abdomen.

Not to mention that a tail fat organ was added some time ago.

If you want to add new glands, unless you reduce the "Gatling"'s ammo storage, there is nowhere to store it. After thinking about it, Rowan found that he was only influenced by some previous movies about weaving the web. In fact, this ability had to be arranged in advance for a long time, and it was not as magical as shown in the movies.

So, in the end Rowan chose to give up. Most of the other abilities that were given up were also like this, such as feathers, he had no place to grow these things on his body.

Moreover, as more and more creatures come into contact with, the diversity of his abilities is indeed more adaptable, but in some cases, comprehensive abilities are not a good thing.

Many abilities require a corresponding body structure to cooperate.

For example, flying, with his round and bulky body, without the anti-gravity black technology of elytra, he would not be able to fly at all. Not to mention birds and pterosaurs whose bodies have been changed into streamlined creatures in order to adapt to flying.

Another example is swimming. Compared with those fishes, Rowan's swimming can barely be called underwater. Compared with speed and flexibility, it is not at the same level at all.

Even for a system like echolocation, bats have a pair of huge ears to act as receivers, while he only has two small ear holes, so there is no need to say much about the performance gap.

Perhaps there is only the "Gatling" system. With his size advantage, he is much stronger than the original version. But that doesn't hide some of the shortcomings of multi-capability.

Thinking so much is not that Rowan wants to give up multi-talented abilities. Multiple talents make him more adaptable, able to hook his life under various dangers.

As for him, Luo Wen, the supreme commander of the swarm, the most important task is nothing more than this.

Therefore, multi-talented is suitable for him. And the reason why he thinks so much is that he is thinking about how to adjust the future swarm units, is it to develop multi-ability adaptability? Still marching towards having special pertinence.

Rowan has already felt the shackles of his own knowledge reserves, and the lack of intelligence and thinking. But there is no solution. The queen ant is more like an intelligent AI, which can only "obey orders" and cannot "communicate".

Fortunately, the current opponents are not strong yet. With the unique ability of the swarm, as long as the resources are in place, it should not be a problem to solve them.

Therefore, this idea only circled in Luo Wen's mind before being thrown aside.
