I Am the Swarm

Rowan certainly knows what these guys are looking for, but now is not a good time to make a debut.

Two days later, several insects with a body length of more than ten centimeters drilled up from the depths of the ground. From their solid carapace and powerful claws, it can be seen that they are insects of the combat genus.

When the scouts came out to work last time, they found some native creatures hidden under the sand, and the shape of these bugs was imitated according to one of these creatures. However, these high imitation bugs are only superficial, and the internal structure is completely different, once dissected, it will definitely reveal its secrets.

Rowan certainly does not allow such flaws to exist.

These high imitation bugs came out this time to get some native biological genes.

Rowan did not add poisoning methods to the high imitation bugs, because the ecosystems of each planet are different, except for those that are highly corrosive, many toxins are not universal. The strong corrosive toxin will destroy the gene sequence of the species, which does not meet Rowan's requirements, so at this time, only physical attack is the most suitable attack method.

Soon, a worm found one of their "kinds" under the sand. Although they are similar in shape, and the native creature is bigger, the actual combat effectiveness is not just based on statistics.

The worms didn't rush to fight one-on-one, but lurked aside, and soon, two worms came to support them. They were surrounded by three sides, and the native creature also found the unfriendly "similar" and threatened it with its claws.

According to its understanding, everyone usually shows their body shape and clicks to the end, but it did not expect that these three "similar" don't talk about martial arts at all. The two worms seized the flaw in the high-hanging claws, stepped forward with a lunge, and each controlled one of the claws. The native creature suddenly fell into the awkward situation of being a man on the left and right, while the third worm took advantage of the situation and raised its claws, piercing its forehead carapace with one, and killing it neatly.

Afterwards, the two bugs returned to the underground base with the loot, while the remaining one continued to search.

In just half a day, Rowan had genetic samples of several native organisms, but because they were in the deep sea, they were all reptiles. However, the original high-quality imitations can all be recycled, while another group of "genuine goods" have been released.

With a genuine "native identity", the reconnaissance and hunting operations that were not even dared to take risks before have become much more daring.

A large number of scabbard creatures quietly spread out towards the surroundings, and then gathered at a position far away from the wormhole. By setting up traps, they jointly hunted down a fish creature...

With the genetic foundation of this fish creature, the efficiency of the scouting and hunting team of the bug swarm has been improved several levels, and the range of activities has also been greatly expanded.

Complementary to this, is the speed at which Rowan harvests genes to a higher level. All kinds of marine life continue to enrich the gene pool of the swarm, giving Rowan more choices.

A sample of a small ferocious fish entered Rowan's vision. This is a creature similar to the strange-headed fish on the Origin Star. It is small in size but has extremely powerful biting properties. Suitable for the current situation of the swarm.

With the help of this fish sample, the swarm's range of activities was further expanded. Moreover, their template was originally the rations of those large sea creatures, but under the command of the swarm, this situation was completely reversed. As a result, the swarm began to harvest the genes of large sea creatures.

At the same time, under the cover of the fish swarm, the swarm began to build sub-bases, and some queen eggs were taken away by the fish swarm, and the strength of the swarm in the ocean began to grow wildly.

During the expansion process, Rowan discovered many ships of indigenous intelligent creatures, and even found a water platform near the sea area where the wormhole was located. Judging from the non-stop take-off and landing aircraft above, this platform is for military use, and should be used to monitor nearby wormholes.

However, judging from the shape of the aircraft, they still have a retro style, but after a few days of observation, Rowan found that they are indeed old antiques in terms of performance indicators such as takeoff, landing, load, and speed.

A bold idea came to Rowan's mind. Maybe the indigenous intelligent race on this planet is not as advanced in technology as imagined. However, the specific situation still needs to continue to verify.

But there was one thing that Luo Wen couldn't understand. As the swarm gradually increased in strength, he found almost all the monitoring instruments of the natives in the surrounding sea area. It is also old and has poor performance, but it is more than enough to monitor the meat sac coming out of the wormhole. Given that the sea surface base is so close to the wormhole, their reaction at the beginning was too slow. Luo Wen didn't know if they did it on purpose. Could it be that everything he sees now is an illusion deliberately created by the other party?

Luo Wen's habit of fighting wits with the air has recurred. He thought hard, but couldn't figure out the key point. If the indigenous technology level is poor, then what is going on with this wormhole? Is this small controllable wormhole that can be opened on the planet a natural product? This is somewhat beyond Rowan's understanding.

And if the aborigines have a high level of technology, why did they act for him? Such a meticulous arrangement cannot be completed in a day or two. Luo Wen didn't know in advance that the meat bag would fall here. Could it be that the other party could predict the future. Rowan thinks it is impossible. This is less reliable than the natural generation of small controllable wormholes, and it is unnecessary. How can the swarm be able to trouble such a high-level civilization?

Luo Wen, who couldn't figure it out, could only temporarily put these thoughts aside. He decided to proceed step by step at his own pace. At worst, he would just keep running. With the long-distance warp skill, Rowan didn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. At critical moments, he could even give up the territory on the Origin Galaxy.

Before giving up, Luo Wenshao said that he could use the resources in the territory to perform hundreds of long-distance random jumps. He didn't believe that every time it was such a coincidence, he could encounter intelligent life.

Luo Wen didn't want to touch the indigenous military facilities for the time being, but besides the military platforms and those military ships, there were many ocean-going fishing vessels that could be distinguished at a glance and belonged to civilian use.

Rowan decided to attack them.

After careful preparation and deployment, a 20,000-ton civilian ship was selected as the target. The invasion process was several times easier than imagined. Some bugs made of local marine life templates that were good at climbing and crawling climbed into the cabin along the hull. While the indigenous intelligent creatures were resting, their genetic samples were collected.

At the same time, they also went around the ship and gained a lot of information for the swarm.
