I Am the Swarm

On the other side, in the Rickon galaxy, the two giant structures of the Zerg swarm exploded and fell into the stars, successfully self-destructing, leaving no hairs to the onlookers.

However, the swarm's repeated redundant operation like taking off its pants and farting has attracted the attention of some interested people. And as they continued to check the data collected just now, they actually found that some energy seemed to be annihilated for no reason and disappeared.

These abnormal data caused some disagreements among interested people. Some people thought that the swarm must have done something, and it was necessary to ask the swarm to find out. The other part believes that there may be some errors in the data because it is too close to the star. And even if the swarm did something, there was no need to go online, and at the level of the swarm, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Rowan didn't know about these debates, and naturally he didn't know the outcome of the debate. He just followed his established plan to complete it step by step.

Due to uncertainty about the situation in the new star field, after the two giant structures self-destructed, the swarm accelerated their evacuation.

More than 60% of the troops in the Rickon galaxy have already evacuated in advance, but because their evacuation was distributed over ten years, in small batches, and optical invisibility was turned on, many foreigners still have no idea of ​​the number of insect swarms.

But at this time, nearly 40% of the troops in the Riken galaxy stayed in the near-orbit base of the star, and they had huddled together to bask in the sun before, unnoticed. But at this time, the retreat was concentrated, and the densely packed Taikoo-class lined up to leave. The continuous line spanned millions of kilometers, which made many people truly see the strength of the swarm for the first time.

"What a terrible race."

"I think we made a mistake."

"We shouldn't have messed with them."

Similar exclamations kept ringing out, especially from members of the Keya League. Of course, there are also dissatisfied voices.

"What are you afraid of? In the face of the technological gap, quantity is meaningless!" A foreigner's tone was slightly disdainful.

"That's right!" echoed a supporter.

Of course, most of these sarcastic foreign races are races far away from the territory of the swarm. As long as the swarm does not master efficient navigation methods, no matter how large the number is, there is no threat to them.

At the same time, some foreigners did not issue meaningless exclamations, but raised some substantive questions.

"What kind of social structure do they have? It seems to be able to convert most of the gross production value into war potential."

"Yes, such a militaristic race, their royal court can still exist? Will their people not object?"

"Maybe their royal court has deceived those foolish people."

"It seems necessary to feed them advanced ideologies."

"Indeed."

Some conspiracies and schemes were discussed in this way, but if these schemes were to be implemented, they had to find out the civilians of the swarm.

After evacuating the Rickon galaxy, a place of right and wrong, the swarm fell into silence again. Except for the trade city in the sandstorm galaxy that is still operating on a limited basis, the rest of the swarm territory is almost completely closed, falling into a state of "closed doors".

Even in the news of the Star Sea Alliance, there was a new round of cynicism about the "admitting" attitude of the Zerg Swarm, but the Zerg Swarm did not make any movement.

A slap can't be made, and the posture of the swarm makes many subsequent plots seem to hit cotton. The heat on the swarm's side also gradually cooled down, replaced by new and fresh things. And the real mastermind behind the scenes seemed to need a period of time to prepare a follow-up plan, so the surrounding area of ​​the swarm fell into an eerie calm.

And Luo Wen finally had time to explore the new star field.

——

Before the scouts got out of the sand on the seabed, they discovered something was wrong. They detected dense vibrations overhead. To cause such a shock in the deep sea, one can imagine that it must be some kind of giant. And judging from the vibration frequency, there are quite a few of them.

This made the scouting bugs move more cautiously. They slowed down and continued to climb cautiously. Although they were inconspicuous, they could not be exposed in the slightest. Once discovered, the body structure and circulatory system that are incompatible with this planet will definitely bring unnecessary crises to the insect swarm.

When approaching the surface of the seabed, the scouts found some native creatures hiding under the sand. However, due to their small size and fear of making noise, they carefully avoided these native creatures and quietly poked their heads out on the seabed.

Because there is no light on the bottom of the sea, when these scouting bugs choose gene modules, in addition to the optical observation system, they also have a sonar system. Many underwater creatures have similar organs. Several life planets under his command have provided tens of thousands of sonar organs for the gene pool of the swarm. Rowan can easily assemble one that adapts to the current situation.

However, beyond Rowan's expectation, the optical observation, which was thought to be of little use, was the first to collect information. On the seabed, more than a dozen mecha warriors covered in lights, several submarines and a large number of small underwater robots wandered around, as if they were searching for something. This was the first scene that appeared in front of Rowan.

And those vibrations were made by these dozen or so mecha fighters.

Luo Wen was only slightly taken aback by these huge steel creations. After all, he was well-informed, and these tens of meters of steel creations were nothing. And he had long guessed the existence of intelligent creatures here, so he wasn't too surprised.

But the scene in front of him made him feel a little contradictory. After thinking about it for a while, he finally realized what was wrong.

The swarm is no longer the original group that used to play with mud. Through contact with aliens, there are many samples of alien technology in the swarm database. By observing and analyzing the external structure, manufacturing process, movement coherence, steering, and even scratches on the opponent's creation, one can infer the opponent's general technological level.

And these steel creations in front of him obviously don't match the image of a high-level civilization that can create artificial wormholes in Luo Wen's mind.

But Luo Wen didn't act rashly either, maybe people like this retro style. I remember that the Blue Star movie once acted in the battle that determined the life and death of half of the population of the universe, but most of them still charged head-on and fought hand-to-hand.

Perhaps in this universe, there are advanced civilizations with similar preferences. Among other things, the combat units of the swarm, whether they run on the ground, swim in the water, or fly in the sky, all retain powerful melee combat capabilities.

If the Star Sea Alliance dared not to use long-range weapons and everyone just fought in close combat, maybe the Zerg Swarm would now have the ability to overthrow the entire alliance, including the Ji clan.

Of course, such a good thing can be imagined in a dream.

Thank you for the eternal 999 starting point reward, thank you Zhang Muyu for the 500 starting point reward, and thank you for the unremarkable future 500 starting point reward.
