I Am the Swarm

Knowing the opening time of the wormhole, the swarm didn't want to perform any showy operations to show themselves, but stopped all activities of the swarm two days in advance.

Rowan was worried that the level of technology on the other side had reached the point where he could observe the situation here through the wormhole. I didn't pay attention to it, I just hope that I can make up for it now.

I don't know if it was aimed at the swarm, or if other abnormalities were discovered on the opposite side. This fourth time the wormhole opened, there was a change. Before the wormhole closed, two monsters spit out from it.

This is an unprecedented change, which means that the troops on the opposite side have doubled directly. Not only Luo Wen, but even the Botians were stunned by this sudden change.

Fortunately, they have always followed the maximum configuration to deal with each wormhole crisis. Every two of their mecha fighters form a group, and five groups are dispatched each time.

Due to the limited space around the monster, too many mech fighters attack at the same time, not only can't amplify the combat power, but will also interfere with the companions.

Therefore, no more than two teams can take over the monsters at the same time, and the other teams will support them on the sidelines.

It's also thanks to them being so cautious, otherwise the sudden increase in the number of monsters might cause them a big loss. After nearly three hours of fierce fighting, the two monsters ran away several times. This was the first time the monsters had such an action of running away, but the ending did not change, and the corpse was dragged away.

After the wormhole was closed, the worm swarm hibernated for another two days. After confirming that no abnormalities were found in all channels, they resumed their operations.

But within a few days, something big happened.

Since Rowan first evolved as a fingernail bug, he evolved digging feet. The skill of digging holes has run through the entire development history of the bug swarm.

Until now, from space octopuses to worker bees, except for the extremely special species of Euglena, there is no one who can dig holes. In all of the Swarm's territories, most bases are hidden underground.

If all kinds of satellites are counted, the planets dug by the insect swarm are not two thousand, but one thousand and eight. In the world of digging holes, they can be regarded as figures. Except for the stars that have not been dug, it can be said that the geological planets have been dug all over. What kind of rocks, diamonds, gold, ice, and various crusts have not been seen?

But I haven't seen anything like this before.

Because under Rowan's instructions, the swarm stopped expanding on Podi, each base could also hide itself and began to move deeper underground.

At the beginning, everything was relatively normal, but when the submarine base was dug down for more than ten kilometers, passed through the shallow layer of asthenosphere, that is, the magma layer, and dug less than five kilometers on the mantle, it appeared in the In front of the swarm was a shell made of unknown metal.

This thing is flat, with some traces of corrosion, but it doesn't look like a natural product, just like the controllable small wormhole. It should be discovered for the first time, because with the technological level of the Bordians, the asthenosphere is their limit.

Rowan realized that this might be a huge treasure, but he couldn't open it. The defense of this metal shell is very strong. The swarm has used many physical methods, but they are unable to break through its defense. In order to avoid energy leakage, they dare not try thermal weapons. In the end, they can only use toxins to see if they can have an effect. . Rowan just learned a new way of making poison, which he just used to give it a try.

At the same time, the swarm began to dig around along this layer of shell, exploring where its limit lies.

As a result, the worms hadn't dug far, and the swarm bases located in other places on the seabed also dug into the metal shell one after another. Luo Wen was a little confused by this. The two swarm bases were at least a hundred kilometers apart. Today, there are more than ten bases that have dug metal shells, which shows that the metal shells cover a range of more than a thousand kilometers.

This is not a small number. It is beyond imagination to complete this kind of workload underground. Even for the swarm, it is not a simple matter. Moreover, although the metal shell has some corrosion marks, there are no gaps and no traces of assembly can be seen. This kind of production process is beyond the reach of today's insect swarm.

As more and more bug swarm bases were dug into the metal casing, Rowan's face gradually became serious, and he seemed to be waiting for something.

Finally, the first land-based swarm base dug out its metal shell. Since they need to dig deeper than the seabed base, the progress is slower.

Subsequently, more and more swarm bases dug into the metal shell. Until the end, except for a few swarm bases located at the top of the peak, which had no excavation tasks from the very beginning, all other swarm bases on Bodi star had their metal shells dug up.

Looking at the three-dimensional map of the distribution of Bodistar and the swarm base in front of him, Luo Wen secretly thought, the matter is already obvious, the whole Bodistar is covered by a metal shell. There must be some kind of secret hidden in it.

Then the forces on the other side of the wormhole, maybe the real purpose is not the Bordians at all, nor is it some funny confrontation experiment. What they want is what is inside the metal shell? That's why they opened the wormhole in the deep sea, which is the closest place to the metal shell?

But how did they discover and locate this place?

Luo Wen suddenly had a bold idea.

If it is really what he thinks, then the swarm will fight desperately this time and try to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. After all, no one does the business of losing money, but someone does the business of beheading. When the benefit reaches a certain level, what is the risk?

The swarm base on Bodi started to move again, the riots started again, and the creeps began to expand wildly in the mantle layer. Rowan is making many preparations. When researching the toxin, he hopes that the creep side can get some results.

Unfortunately, the previously invincible lichen solution did not perform very well against metal shells. This kind of metal seems inconspicuous, but the molecular arrangement is extremely tight and neat, which taught the swarm a good lesson in material technology. And don't look at some corrosion marks on them, but that may be the result of hundreds of millions of years of nature.

As for Rowan, the progress was not too smooth. No matter how the types of toxins he stored were combined, most of the results he achieved were not as good as the creep lichen solution.

Inexplicably, Rowan thought of the unknown forces on the other side of the wormhole. Judging from their actions, they seemed to have a certain understanding of the metal shell.

Then they must have a solution, but they only sent the monster over, which shows that the monster itself is the solution. So is there anything special about monsters?

have! Of course there is! That was really special.

Rowan chuckled, negative energy?
