I Am the Swarm

Moreover, this kind of operation will also emit some odors. At that time, Rowan would use "Gatling" to "disinfect" the surrounding area every time he finished the small stove.

The most important thing is that among the current insect swarm, only Rowan has this compressed digestive juice toxin. The previous version of the transport bug also had this kind of venom, but when it was redesigned into a spider war bug, it was replaced with a neurotoxin.

Luo Wen only has such a large poisonous gland, and the reserve is not much. Even if he does nothing, he can't take over the job.

Thinking of the digestive juice, Rowan's thoughts suddenly opened, and he thought of the man-eating plants he had encountered before.

If we create a plant that can quickly digest prey, and the insects can still eat it, will this problem be completely solved at once?

Rowan, who had an idea, acted immediately. Although he had an idea, a lot of experiments still needed to be done.

Rowan had no previous experience in manipulating plant genes, and everything needed to be explored from scratch. He first collected the characteristics of several carnivorous plants, made a few samples, and then ordered the brood to produce.

The mother's nest is very powerful, and the seeds produced even have their own nutritional packaging, which can meet the growth needs of the seeds in the early stage.

I found a small open space next to the base and planted the seeds. Rowan didn't know how long it would take for them to germinate, so he could only wait patiently.

In the days that followed, Luo Wen, who had found a new "toy", also lost the desire to go out for a while. And now every day, some intruders who want to pick up the leak come to the base to give away their heads.

Now the bug swarm has too much food to eat. If Luo Wen doesn't help eat some, it might spoil a lot. At the same time, he is also responsible for the daily transportation and burial work. Sometimes I have to help cut, clean up traces, and even "disinfect and deodorize".

Time passed day by day, and every day Rowan would fiddle with some new seeds. The earliest batch of seeds had already germinated. They grew fast or slow, and they all had the function of digesting food, but none of them met Luo Wen's wishes.

The main problem is that the plants that grow are not tasty. They patronize themselves to grow up, without considering the taste and nutrition at all.

Rowan felt that maybe there was a problem with the direction of his experiment, and maybe some edible plant genes could be added to it.

The first thing he thought of was the white mycelium crop grown in the underground farm. These protein-rich and sweet mycelia are Rowan's favorite food.

It's a pity that the mushrooms that had a huge yield and tasted good at the beginning have lost their seeds.

However, during this time, Rowan collected a lot of mushroom samples in the forest. Although many of them are poisonous, this toxin basically has no effect on Rowan, and antibodies will soon evolve.

And if Rowan has it, it means that the swarm has it.

New seeds filled with various fungal genes, more diverse combinations. Later, if he didn't do it, and kept going, Rowan simply added a lot of algae genes to it.

In the end, the genetic sequences of these seeds were even more complex than many animals.

Batches of crops germinated. According to their characteristics, Rowan learned their advantages, discarded some mistakes, and then combined new seeds.

The heavy armored soldier ants and scorpions have both left the factory smoothly a few days ago. Especially the heavy-armored soldier ants, which are one meter long and nearly twice as big as Rowan. Because it is a one-time casting, the exoskeleton armor is very thick, and the appearance is very good, mighty and domineering.

Their appearance took over the task of Rowan porters. Some of the cutting work was also off Rowan's hands, and he had more time to work with the seeds.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer intruders who came to deliver "heads" near the base recently. It may be that a large number of small predators come and go in this area, causing this place to become some kind of forbidden area.

Luo Wen later even spread the bloody atmosphere with great fanfare, but the number of comers was still slim.

During this period of time, due to the sufficient food supply, the insect swarm has developed very well, and the number has steadily increased. And besides fiddling with seeds, Rowan also created several new types of arms, which were specially used to target those peak bosses.

Therefore, when he bled his prey, he was not afraid of attracting those big bosses.

Fortunately, some time ago, there was a lot of food reserves, and the hunting team, under the command of the newly produced type I queen, often went out to hunt.

Rowan, who didn't need to operate for food, continued to stay in the base, studying those magical plant genes.

Looking at the seeds combined with various genes, they take root and germinate, and then develop different characteristics. This "game" like a lottery fascinates him.

As the swarm's hunting party moves more and more, it consumes more and more food. Several top bosses finally noticed the new forces rising in the forest.

This new force is extremely aggressive and powerful, and consumes a large amount of prey in the forest every day, which oppresses their living environment.

Although he was mentally prepared for a few top bosses to come to his door, what Luo Wen didn't expect was that the one who came to him first was a python.

This huge boa constrictor, much thicker than a water bucket, with a body length of more than 30 meters, came to the gate of the swarm base in arrogance, held its head high, spat out snake letters from time to time, and showed disdain in its eyes.

Luo Wen has never seen this big boa constrictor, but he has seen quite a few of those that are more than ten meters long. This kind of boa constrictor is covered with a layer of dense scales. While its defense is strong, it is also smooth and unfocused, which can effectively remove the attacks on its body.

The venomous stings of spiders and war insects are also a little weak against this kind of scale armor, and it is difficult to break through this layer of defense. If the defense cannot be broken through, no matter how strong the toxin is, it is useless.

As a stumbling block to the future expansion of the swarm's territory, Rowan has long regarded them as imaginary enemies, thinking about how to target them.

Some time ago, the weapons specifically aimed at these big worms were in place, and before Luo Wen had time to trouble them, he didn't expect them to come first instead.

Although the 30-meter-long guy was a bit out of Rowan's expectation, he thought it would be satisfied with the gift that Rowan specially prepared for them.

A few spiders with bulging abdomens crawled out of the base. They are slightly different from ordinary spider war insects, except for their abdomens, their legs are also extraordinarily slender.

Moreover, their bodies are covered with a thin layer of exoskeleton armor. This makes them a little taller than other spider war insects when they lie on the ground, and at the same time, they also have a more formidable appearance.

The full name of these special spider war insects is very long, called: anti-python and other large crawling and swallowing biological suicide explosion spiders, referred to as self-demolition insects.
