I Am the Swarm

Once a monster escaped from the wormhole, instead of traveling far away, it hid near the wormhole. As a result, the detection equipment lost its trace, causing heavy losses to the inexperienced mecha fighters who rushed to check it.

During its sneak attack, three mechs were destroyed and one pilot died.

But this time the situation was very similar to that one. After the wormhole opened, there was no sign of the monster continuing to move. Rooney and Ji Qi didn't want to repeat the same mistakes before, so they had to be more careful.

Although it was not found on the surface, but tens of meters in length and tens of thousands of tons in weight, even if the monster hides, it will change part of the terrain. The slightly larger stones in this area are recorded. They only need to scan the current topographic map and compare it with the previous one to find out where there have been changes.

But soon, they were surprised to find that there were only a few slight changes in the topographic map, but the traces of these changes were very small, and it could not be the so-called tens of meters long monster. And there are some large creatures on the bottom of the sea, and experts judge that these traces are what they did.

The wormhole opened, but nothing came out? The unbelieving Mingkai people searched for several days without sleep, during which more than a dozen mechas were added, as well as several submarines, plus a large number of reconnaissance equipment delivered here. They almost dug three feet into the seabed, but they didn't find anything.

This made them a little confused. The opening of the wormhole this time was abnormal, and it was even more abnormal if no monsters were found. A group of experts began to analyze various data, but there was still no accurate statement.

——

Time went back a little, and after the wormhole opened, a flesh sac was spat out. The moment he just came out, Luo Wen's heart trembled, something was not quite right.

Rowan can consciously come to any node unit and share their perspective, but if the unit does not have a detection organ, he cannot learn more information.

Due to the special function of the meat sac, it was covered with thick defensive tissue and did not have any detection organs. As a result, Rowan could not observe the surrounding situation at the moment it escaped from the wormhole.

But there are still sensory cells under the defense tissue. If it is in space, there will definitely be a feeling of radiation exposure, but at this time it does not. And it's very stressful here.

"What's the situation? The exit of the wormhole is not in space?"

When Luo Wen had doubts, the meat sac also changed. Its defensive skin had a small opening, and one eye was pushed out.

The volume of the meat sac itself is limited, and defensive tissues occupy most of it, so it is not allowed to integrate too many complicated functional organs. Moreover, the new environment is unknown, and optical observation, which does not emit any energy fluctuations, is the safest and safest way of investigation.

The surroundings are pitch black, without the slightest light, even if the eyes have low-light vision, they can't see anything. This situation is almost impossible in space. Even in the void between star systems, it is not completely dark.

Soon, another gap appeared, and a tentacle protruded out. This tentacle integrated multiple functions such as smell, hearing, and touch.

"?" The touch of the liquid, the salty taste, the sound of water flowing, all kinds of sensations told him that the meat sac was wrapped in a liquid.

Another small tentacle stretched out, and at the top of the tentacle, a faint yellow light flickered, but even this fleeting light allowed the eyes to capture a lot of information.

It is indeed water.

At the same time, the meat sac also sank to the seabed, and the firm touch made Rowan immediately think of where it was. After all, he used to be able to stay in the same place for hundreds of years.

But how is this possible? How could a wormhole open in such a place? You must know that in theory, the wormhole connects the black hole and the white hole, but this place obviously does not match the two holes.

Is this an artificial wormhole? Luo Wen was startled, even the Ji Clan couldn't make wormholes, right? Not to mention building wormholes in such places.

Could this be the legend of just getting out of the wolf's den and then entering the tiger's den? Could it be that this is the site of a more powerful civilization?

Luo Wen's cautious character made him want to annihilate this flesh sac immediately to avoid showing his feet, but he was very unwilling, and at the same time he noticed some abnormalities.

If this place is really the territory of advanced civilization, then the wormhole is abnormally opened, and they should have reacted after such a long time. Is there a turning point for things?

But no matter what, the most important thing is to hide yourself.

The energy substances stored in the meat sac were consumed rapidly, and at the same time, some genes were mutated, and the meat sac soon became thinner, and two digging legs and a few accessory legs also appeared on it, making it look like a fat bug.

Luo Wen didn't expect that the first successful long-distance warp would require the use of traditional crafts as soon as he arrived. Could this be God's will?

But he is still a high-dimensional creature now, so he doesn't have to do things like digging holes by himself, just drag the queen bee to realize it, and he can complete the task perfectly.

After the continuous improvement of the swarm gene, the digging foot has been upgraded several times compared to the one Rowan used before, which is more in line with various mechanics and makes it dig faster.

Soon, the "meat worm" drilled into the seabed, and at the same time carefully filled up the sand with its auxiliary feet. The sea current brushed past, and apart from a slight depression, no other traces could be seen.

The "meat worm" that drilled into the ground did not stop, but continued to dig hundreds of meters deep before stopping. This familiar field gave Rowan some "sense of security."

Immediately, there was a new change in the flesh sac, and the whole body shriveled up quickly, and a smear of purple gray protruded from it, spreading towards the surroundings. At the same time, an inconspicuous golden-carabined bug also sneaked out of its flesh sack, and dug towards the distance alone.

Rowan wasn't sure if the current situation was an advanced civilization trying to get him, and if they were tracking where he came from. However, Luo Wen also thought that the meat sac had entered the wormhole halfway, and his cross-latitude jump should not be tracked, and even if it was tracked, it should be the Ji family who had a headache.

But to be on the safe side, it's better for the "anchor point" to stay away from the "meat sac". As long as the "anchor point" is safe, Rowan can maintain the link to this side, so that his eyes will not be darkened.

The "seeds" developed rapidly, and after the purple-gray spread to a certain extent, one of the lumps absorbed nutrients and mutated into a queen egg. A few days later, the queen broke out of its shell.

With the addition of the worm queen, this small base developed even faster, and soon some functional worms were hatched, and they moved the seabed base deeper into the earth's crust.

At the same time, some small scouting bugs broke through the sand on the seabed and emerged quietly.
