I Am the Swarm

In Rowan's mind, races that can directly survive in space must be very rare.

Even the swarm reached this level by relying on continuous evolution and development.

It is actually very difficult for other civilizations to replicate this method of the swarm.

Therefore, the environment in which most civilizations live should be some original or modified habitable planets.

For example, Genesis Star, Great Qixing, etc.

Even for the Liken tribe, Rowan believes that their home planet must also be a habitable planet. This can be seen from the protective clothing and filtering masks they are equipped with, and they also need to breathe air to achieve internal circulation.

Even though the composition of the atmospheres of these planets is slightly different, the same thing is that they gave birth to a variety of life.

And every civilization must have its own suitable living environment.

If the swarm conflicts with these civilizations, if the swarm can obtain their templates, then send the queen to these planets to produce cheap cannon fodder units in their native land.

Is it possible to hold back a large number of their troops and slowly consume their resources? In this way, it is easier to win the war? Can this hide more hole cards?

However, whether this plan is feasible or not needs to be put into practice.

If there are no other bigwigs behind the Rickens, then they are good test subjects.

Of course, this must be done cautiously, cautiously and carefully.

Because the swarm is only a weak force at the sub-light speed level now, if it provokes some light-speed or even super-light-speed civilizations, even escaping is a luxury.

The universe is so big, it's better to be a worm and keep a low profile.

Therefore, until the confirmation is clear, the swarm still has to continue to play its role well.

But most of the time things don't go as planned.

Originally, Rowan wanted to use up the ammunition of the guards and capture them again to use them as experimental materials.

Unfortunately, accidents happen from time to time.

Maybe it's the awakening of the war spirit, maybe it's his own mission, maybe it's the extremes of things after the mental breakdown, but Hasimu gradually regained his composure.

"Brothers, it seems that the big guys are doomed this time. There is no mission point in continuing to procrastinate. We must pass on the news. Otherwise, after we disappear, the captain will definitely send someone to search for us. If they don't know where It is very likely that we will face the same experience as us.”

Hasimu glanced at the people in the tiger's head, but unfortunately, his serious face was covered by a dirty mask.

"Our escort team has only 500 brothers in total, and we can't stand such repeated toss. Only by retaining our combat power, can the captain possibly avenge us!"

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"Captain, tell me, how to do it.!"

"It's just death."

"That's right, when I got on the boat, I didn't intend to go back alive!"

The team members who were licking blood from the knife edge were all extremely ruthless. After slowly recovering from their fear, they were already mentally prepared.

"Well, let us collect some interest first."

"boom!"

Fiery white light appeared in the cave, and the instantaneous high temperature blasted the rock wall into glass, and was then blown away by the powerful shock wave that followed.

Underground caverns collapsed,

The bugs blocking the elite team suffered a catastrophe, most of them gasified and disappeared.

The intensity of the explosion was such that strong vibrations could be felt on the surface even if it was a thousand meters underground.

Many instruments lighted up red, and harsh alarms sounded.

A disheveled Reggie rushed out of the lounge.

"Selia, what happened again?" Reggie shouted while putting on the captain's uniform on himself.

"Report Captain, a fusion reaction occurred in the E5 area of ​​the third continent just now." The mechanical female voice sounded.

"Did you find that monster?" Reggie, who was still a little angry just now, heard this, and Lima became energetic and asked hastily.

"Slightly confirmed at the moment."

"Which escort is the closest?"

"The Hasimu team is performing tasks in the area, about 500 meters away from the explosion site."

An ominous premonition rose in Reggie's heart.

The distance of 500 meters should be within the explosion range, right? Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Has the explosion equivalent been calculated?"

"It is calculated that the explosion equivalent is 2,700 to 3,200 tons."

"Fuck!" Reggie cursed secretly, with this equivalent, the distance of 500 meters is probably too bad.

"Contact me Hasimu!"

"Hasmu has lost contact!"

"When did it happen? Get their mission records!"

"Hasim's team was ordered to search the underground caves in the E5 area of ​​the third continent. A total of 50 people performed the task, equipped with three transport ships and a gunboat. Hasimu applied for support 1 hour, 21 minutes and 34 seconds ago."

"Applied for support!!?? Why didn't I know?"

"The application is grade B and has been processed by Major Kamais on duty."

"Where is he now?"

"Major Kamais is currently on the second floor of the cat ear spaceship bridge."

Captain Reggie asked as he walked. At this time, he had reached the bridge, and he saw Major Kamais with a gloomy face from a distance.

"Major Kamis, what happened?"

"The current situation is unclear, but I'm afraid it's not good news." Looking at Reggie's probing eyes, he continued: "You should understand the rough situation, right?"

Reggie nodded, and Major Kamais continued: "Hasmu's team went there to perform a mission, a very common cave search mission. They have done it many times before, but this time they encountered a little special situation. They found a channel about 500 meters vertically downward."

He recalled for a while and continued: "Out of caution, Hasim dared not go down rashly and asked for help from the headquarters. But the other escort teams have their own tasks, so I asked him to take the team members who stayed behind on the transport boat and the gunboat down. The ship is under the control of Celia, and it is on standby."

"Immediately afterwards, Hasimu's team lost communication. However, this is a very normal phenomenon. The interference in the cave is serious, and there were often communication interruptions in the past. Besides, they have to go hundreds of meters underground."

"Then, there was an explosion in their mission area. The explosion happened deep underground. I suspect that Hasimu detonated the tactical nuclear bomb themselves, because the explosion equivalent just now is different from the explosion of the Engineer II tactical nuclear bomb they configured. Equivalent."

"What? How is this possible? That's a full-stack special elite team. What can force them to use nuclear bombs?" Reggie was shocked.

"It must be a very powerful enemy. As long as there is a glimmer of hope and there is no complete despair, they will not be like this. Because using a nuclear bomb in an underground cave, even a tactical nuclear bomb with a low yield, is devastating. There is not enough depth. , they cannot be spared." Major Kamais sighed.

"But no matter what it is, it should have died with the guards by now. I have already mobilized two other teams to check and hope to find some useful news."
