I Am the Swarm

Since becoming a worm, Rowan has been living a hard life. He never thought that there is such a good place. Food is everywhere. When you are full, you can go to sleep. When you wake up, you can eat. You can eat without doing anything. Drink enough.

It would be even better if there is a computer that can access the Internet. This is the life in the dead house that he dreamed of at the beginning.

It's a pity that he still has many younger brothers waiting to be fed. It's a bit embarrassing to think about the boss making him like this.

After he was full, he turned around again. The size of the ant nest was quite large, and in the depths, he also found a queen ant.

The size of the queen ant is much larger than that of the soldier ants. This is not because she is stronger than the soldier ants. On the contrary, her upper body is too slender compared to the soldier ants.

The reason why it is bigger than the soldier ants is because of its huge abdomen, which accounts for two-thirds of its body size. With the strength of its limbs, Rowan doubts whether it can drag itself.

Because, during the time Rowan observed it, the queen ant didn't move her body at all.

Around the queen ants, there are some worker ants back and forth. They line up with all kinds of food in their mouths and feed the queen ants mouth to mouth.

This also reminded Luo Wen that when he had a little brother, he also wanted to feed him mouth to mouth. At that time, the ant wouldn't treat him as a queen, right? This is really an unbearable past.

Fortunately, I was firm in my heart at the beginning, and my forced instincts produced some benign evolutions, and I now have a separate brood. Otherwise, if he turns into the appearance of the ant queen in front of him, he might as well die.

After running around for a while, they found nothing special, and there were no special weapons or units hidden in the ant nest. Luo Wen felt relieved, and leisurely crawled out from the ant nest exit.

It was his first visit to a neighbor's house, and he was very satisfied.

All the way back to the meeting point of the transport team, the lucky scout had disappeared. Rowan didn't stay any longer, and quickly returned to the worm's nest.

On the road, I met a transport team that was returning, so I returned with them.

After returning to the worm's nest, he went to check the brood first. There was nothing wrong with it. The brood now has a sufficient supply of food every day, and there is still some surplus for its own growth while producing.

Then, he gnawed a section of tree root and came back to feed it to Hei Da. Then I came to the hatching room. Now there are more than ten mature black ants. Excluding the transportation team, there are usually five or six ants left at home to take care of the eggs.

Now there are dozens of eggs and larvae in the hatching room. The first batch of hatched larvae have already pupaed with the help of worker ants. When they emerge from the pupae, they are mature ants.

Of course, there is still a considerable gap between Rowan's incubator and the neighbor's, but Rowan believes that this is only temporary.

In the future, when he figured out the functions of some gene fragments, he will have a considerable amount of material-collecting bugs. At that time, he will deploy more powerful bugs, and it will only take a few minutes to flatten the ant nest.

Sooner or later, he will also have his own wine pool and meat forest, and live a life of eating and sleeping, waking up and eating...

Thinking about the bright future, Luo Wen fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Luo Wen got up early, and at this time, he already had some new ideas.

First he coiled up a tree root and fed it to Heida, and then set off with the transport team.

Arriving more than ten meters away from the neighbor's house, Luo Wen began to dig a hole, which is a big project.

Luo Wen was in charge of opening the way ahead, and the transportation team would transport the sand outside. When he was hungry, he would come out to find an ant nearby to demonstrate Luo's fighting skills, and then drag it back to share the food.

There is a little food stored in the hatching room on the other side of the insect nest, and it will not run out of food if it is not replenished for a day.

It was the first time for Luo Wen to dig such a long passage. He dug very quickly, but he had to transport the excavated soil to the outside of the cave. As the excavation distance increases, the transportation time also increases exponentially.

The efficiency of the transportation team was not high, and they couldn't keep up with Rowan's digging speed. In the end, he had to dig and transport the soil outwards at the same time.

I was busy until dark, and the excavation progress was only halfway through. Although for the current Luo Wen, day and night are almost the same, when he was living underground, he didn't even know whether it was day or night outside.

But Rowan still retains some human habits, for example, he will habitually want to sleep when he sees it is dark. Although he may not be sleepy, his consciousness tells him that it's time to sleep.

Casually buried the entrance of the cave and made some camouflage. Although there was an extra mound of soil next to it, which made it a bit conspicuous, Luo Wen still had the confidence to hide the entrance of the cave.

Using his neighbor's ID card, he sprinkled pheromones representing the content of "Danger, don't approach" around, believing that it would be no problem to fool Zhu's mindless worker ants.

And because the scouts in this direction have suffered heavy casualties recently, although it is not far from the neighbor's house, very few ants have come here.

He took the transport team and killed three engineers who were scouting nearby. One of them shared food on the spot, and the two returned to the insect nest with their body parts to fill up the food reserves.

After returning to the worm's nest, I did a lot of work today, and I am too lazy to move any more. Hei Da should be hungry first...

When he woke up again and climbed to the surface, it was still dark, and Luo Wen didn't want to rush out in the dark. First, I went to the roots of the tree to replenish the juice. I ate two meals of ant meat yesterday. The body fluids of the ants were all formic acid, and I felt a little nauseous after eating too much.

After replenishing the water, he brought a tree root back to Hei Da who was hungry all night.

After thinking about future plans, I passed the time for a while, and led the transport team out of the insect nest just before dawn.

I rushed all the way to the burial place at the entrance of the cave yesterday, and there was no trace of destruction here. It seems that Rowan's plan to use pheromone camouflage to make some warnings was very successful. However, it is also possible that no scouts came here at all.

Afterwards, under Luo Wen's leadership, the worms started the unfinished work yesterday in an orderly manner.

In this channel, Rowan also reserved two caves as temporary storage rooms. Although it increased the workload, the channel was dug under the neighbor's ant nest when the sky was getting dark.

The excavation work was stopped, the entrance of the cave was buried, and several spectators were found to watch the performance of Roche's fighting skills, and then they returned to the insect nest with their conquered flesh.

After two days of preparatory work, Rowan's expected plan is about to reach a critical moment. On a new day, Luo Wen went out with the transport team, success or failure depended on it.

We brought the transportation team to the entrance of the buried cave first. There is still no trace of destruction here, and the start went smoothly.

After the insects entered the passage, Rowan commanded the transport team to stand by in the temporary storage room and evacuate first if they encountered danger. Then climbed out of the passage alone.

Thinking about it on the way, I don’t know if the transportation team can understand what he meant. The IQ of these bugs is really worrying, and I can’t understand it with a slightly more complicated expression. When I have time, I must find a way to improve their IQ, at least to be able to Understand some complex instructions.

After distributing the fake identity information around him, Luo Wen came to the door of the neighbor's house again.
