I Am the Swarm

"Hmph, this old man has already known the news, but the longer the time drags on, the less chance Klose will survive. If she dies, we will not be able to explain it." Major General Porter finally "rested" for a long time at this time. General Massai's tone was not very good.

Although General Massai was one level higher than Major General Porter, Major General Porter was also a powerful general, and if he really got angry, Massai would have to show some face.

"Then what should we do? We have sent nearly 100,000 people to search, but this lair is very strange, and we haven't found their granary yet."

The rescue operations at other bases went very smoothly. In the planned advance, not only were many people successfully rescued, but even the troops did not lose much.

These troops scattered in various bases were not idle after completing their combat missions. Judging from the situation at the Cross base, the Zergs are extremely revengeful. They have dug so many "granary" today, it is difficult to guarantee that the Zergs will not retaliate.

Therefore, some of the troops returned to the bases for defense, while the rest gathered and went to the area where Cross disappeared to conduct a carpet search.

In two days, these troops advanced thousands of meters in the underground passage, dug several large pits hundreds of meters deep to find the hidden underground passage, but the strange thing is that the granary of this nest of Zerg has not been found yet .

Of course they couldn't find out, because the granary in this lair hadn't started making yet. The appearance of the Ricken tribe mobilizing their troops also frightened the insect swarm.

A base commander is missing, and the search is so costly. It seems that this young female Rickon is more important than the swarm imagined.

Fortunately, Kloss's transformation site is hidden deep underground, and the Rickon tribe will not be able to find it for a while, but how to delay the transformation for seven days has become a problem.

In just two days, the Liken tribe has made so much noise. According to past experience, the "granary" should have been discovered long ago. Now the swarm has no other choice but to push it hard. As for the abnormalities that are revealed, we can only rely on the Riken experts to come up with some "reasonable" reasons.

At the meeting, Dr. Barthes, a biological expert, made a speech. He will put forward some constructive opinions on the action based on some current research.

In addition to adding acid sprayers and scouts to the Zerg based on this attack, he also made some other interesting points.

"Although I don't know the number of the C13 insect nest (the number of the insect nest of the Rickens, C13 is the number of the insect nest where Klos disappeared.) why the granary has not been found so far, but the research on the first 12 insect nest granaries, I found that some interesting stuff."

Dr. Balter paused slightly, looked at everyone's curious eyes, smiled and continued: "The Zerg we found likes to keep small and fresh food. In all the granaries, we did not find dead things, and all the creatures in the cocoons , are all alive, and apart from being weak, they are all very healthy."

"From the video captured by the satellite, although it is not very clear, the Zerg's diet does not only include small prey. Those large creatures with a body length of more than three meters are also in their diet."

"Why have we never seen a stockpile of large creatures in the granary? Because these large creatures are not easy to transport, among the Zerg units we have found so far, no matter what their duties are, they are not large. The overall transportation of large creatures is very important For them, it is more difficult. So when they capture larger prey, they will divide it on the spot and transport it back to the nest."

"But how will these help our actions?" A captain couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, listen to me. These divided meat pieces are not easy to preserve because of the high temperature of T853. Therefore, these meat pieces will be eaten by the Zerg first. And those small prey will be stored , when the Zerg's prey acquisition is not ideal one day, they will choose some small prey that are about to die to eat."

"Although we haven't found the location of Lieutenant Colonel Cross, we can increase her survival rate based on this discovery. We can put a lot of food on the target area. These foods must be fresh and not suitable for preservation, such as wounded cattle. Demons. When the swarm has enough food, it will not kill the small game in the granary."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt that it made sense. Therefore, in order to increase the survival rate of Cross, the Riken army would capture a large number of large creatures every day, and put them on the nest boundary before the fixed hunting time of the Zerg. In order to ensure that the Zerg can capture them, the Rickon also beat these large creatures to death to facilitate the Zerg's capture.

The actions of the Riken tribe made Luo Wen and a group of intelligent bodies baffled. They wondered what plot the Riken tribe experts had imagined. After a while of analysis, I guessed the approximate reason.

Rowan is worried about how to reasonably ensure the survival of Cross. Now that the Rickens have thought of the reason, the swarm must cooperate.

Therefore, during the day, the Liken tribe continued to dig and explode holes, and at night, the swarms went out to hunt as usual, decomposing the large prey thrown at the entrance of the cave and taking them all back.

With the tacit cooperation of both parties, time passed quickly, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

"So that's how it is." After hearing the message from Kloss, Rowan fell into deep thought. The Rickon tribe didn't have any background. They dug up an ancient spaceship that they didn't know where it came from, and then relied on the technology of reversing the spaceship to trigger a technological explosion.

Kloss's status on the spaceship is special. She actually has a sister who is involved in the frontline work of reversing the ancient spaceship. Although her sister didn't reveal too many details to her, even if it was only a side detail, she knew more than most of the captains in the Rickon Expedition.

According to what Cross said, the spaceship that was dug out was already an antique tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, although life had already appeared on Riken, civilization had not yet been born.

This spaceship will appear on the satellite of Riken at that time, and what purpose it has is unknown. The technological level of that spaceship is very high. According to Cross, now the Rickon tribe has only pushed back some fur.

Is this really an accident? Look at the accidents that the Rickon tribe now recognizes, they are all directed by the swarm behind the scenes. Although due to the level of the swarm, there are some slight flaws in some places, but they can be seen more or less. Some things, just looking at the surface is not enough.

According to the technological level of the high-level civilized spaceship described by Close, its sailing speed must be very fast. If there is an accident, hitting the satellite of Riken at that speed is estimated to blow up more than half of the satellite, and the chain reaction produced is enough to wipe out the primitive life on Riken.

In the archaeological research of the Keliken tribe, there is no such thing happening, and if there is no external interference, relying solely on natural evolution, tens of thousands of years, it is estimated that there is no way to evolve highly intelligent and civilized creatures from scratch.

Based on this analysis, the spacecraft landed on the satellite on its own initiative. But with their technological level, why didn't they land directly on Riken? Is it because of the atmosphere?
