I Am the Swarm

After some very unfriendly exchanges between the two sides, a fierce fight broke out. At the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, but this is their home field after all, and follow-up support continued to come.

But after a soldier ant rushed to the battlefield, the situation changed rapidly. This kind of special combat unit that specializes in fighting is like a strong man breaking into a kindergarten when a group of worker ants are fighting each other, it is really invincible.

The soldier ants ran rampant in the transport team, without a single enemy under them, and killed the transport team in an instant.

Although the worms produced by the mother nest are based on black ants as a template, they also look exactly like black ants. But I don't know why, the ant nest used to detect worker ants by a dozen, and when it couldn't beat them, it knew how to run away. And the brood's output of these is unstoppable.

As a result, the transport team was wiped out.

Rowan discovered the anomaly only the day after the incident.

On the night of the gang fight, Luo Wen returned to the insect nest with the excavation team after dark. There are not many black ants in the nest now, but there are dozens of them at least, and they are all busy. To be honest, Luo Wen really didn't notice that there were ten or twenty black ants missing. After drinking some juice and feeding Hei Da with a coiled tree root, he went to the small room to rest.

It wasn't until Rowan woke up the next day and was about to count the troops and prepare to set off that he discovered that the transport team hadn't returned last night. Immediately, my heart skipped a beat, knowing something had happened.

Luo Wen reacted quickly, and after a little thought, he noticed the loopholes left at the beginning, and guessed the facts very closely.

So, he went out alone to check the situation. As soon as I went out, I ran into scout worker ants before I climbed far. I guess I touched them along the traces of the transport team.

Rowan didn't startle the enemy, and swept away these traces, rearranged new pheromones, and pointed the clues to the direction of Ant Nest No. 2. Whether the scouts from both sides will meet in the future is none of Rowan's business, anyway, he has already picked out the worm nest.

Climbing all the way to the exit of the smuggling passage, although I saw many scout worker ants on the road, but at this time Luo Wen had already changed his ID card, so it didn't matter if he encountered them.

The battle traces at the entrance of the passage confirmed Rowan's guess, a large-scale team battle took place here. Although the battlefield has been cleaned up at this time, the scattered pheromones such as "enemy", "warning" and "combat" still reveal a lot of information.

Instead of entering the passage, he climbed from the surface to the entrance of the ant nest, and Rowan swaggered into it. Afterwards, he found the transport team in the incubation room, but they appeared in front of him in the form of various parts.

Luo Wen sighed, wondering if Black Two and Black Three were inside. Because the black ants all look alike, as the number of black ants in the nest gradually increases, he can no longer tell which is black, black, and black.

However, he didn't have any sad emotions. Maybe thousands of years later, the memory of being a bug will gradually increase, and the memory of being a human will gradually be suppressed. But at this time, he had just transformed into a bug not long ago, and he was still dominated by human soul memory. At this time, it was difficult for him to have any feelings for a few bugs.

He never thought of these bugs as his own kind, they were just tools. He hatches them, feeds them, just to make himself more comfortable. His sigh at this time was more like a sigh of depression and self-criticism because he had not thought carefully and suddenly lost many things.

After eating and drinking in the incubation room, Rowan didn't stay long, got up and climbed out of the ant nest, and returned home.

Ant Nest No. 1 has been in too much danger recently, so I will not bring anyone here for the time being, just to let them rest for a while and enrich their reserves.

The current main target is Ant Nest No. 2, where the smuggling passage is not based on patrolling the blind area, and the security is higher. And the work over there will be completed soon, and it will take a day or two to work overtime. There is still some food reserves in the insect nest, so there is no problem in supporting it for a day or two.

Returning to my own insect nest, I went to the mother nest to deploy some insect eggs. This time, the eggs were all based on the black ant gene template, and then added a pair of digging legs to them.

The transportation work on the ground is still too dangerous, and he needs a professional excavation team. In the future, he plans to dig a tunnel directly underground to connect Ant Nest No. 1 and No. 2 with his worm nest. This avoids dangerous situations on the ground.

And in the future there may be No. 3, No. 4 or even more ant nests that need to be connected to the underground network. It is definitely not possible to dig by himself, which is not in line with his original intention. His original intention was to eat and sleep, eat when he woke up, and evolve while lying down, not to work for these tools.

Although he had such an idea a long time ago, he was not too anxious before, and wanted to wait for the last experiment to be successful before deploying.

But suddenly encountered such an unexpected situation, he had no choice but to advance the plan. Fortunately, although the worm eggs prepared before have not hatched, they are still full of vitality. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the larvae hatch.

This is also where his confidence lies in advancing the plan. The insect eggs are still alive, which proves that the plan is feasible.

Calling up the manpower, Luo Wen set off with this group of unprofessional excavation teams. Now he is doing the excavation work alone. These ants are actually more responsible for transferring the excavated soil from the pits. . Then do some post-reinforcement work on the channel.

Just two days later, the smuggling channel of Ant Nest No. 2 was completed. Rowan forged a good ID card, sneaked into the hatch room, dug out a temporary road with a smuggling channel, and began to transfer food.

The food reserves in the insect nest gradually increased, and Rowan deliberately dug out two storage rooms. Although they are not used yet, he believes that they will be used sooner or later.

Time passed and everything seemed in order. The insect eggs based on Heida finally hatched into larvae. The new larvae looked different from the ants, and it was more like the white worms that Luo Wen encountered when he first came to this world.

Looking at the larva in front of him, Luo Wen was somewhat nostalgic. The white worm helped him a lot. And bear no complaints, no matter how he treats them. When his teeth were not very good, whenever a tree root stretched out in front of them, they would help him bite open without any complaints. They are really big good bugs.

After another period of time, the larvae of the black digging ants that were prepared for the second time also hatched from the eggs. They are very similar to ordinary ant larvae, and basically there is no big difference.

During this period of time, the number of bugs in the nest increased steadily, not only making up for the lost number of transport teams, but also increasing a lot.

With sufficient manpower, Rowan took them to dig the smuggling passage of Ant Nest No. 1 again, this time connecting directly from the ground to the top of the insect nest.
