I Am the Swarm

After the queen ant discovered the abnormality of the soldier ants, although she was alert and the pheromone that meant to protect her body leaked out, it was too late, and it was already surrounded by many assassins.

Almost the moment she became alert, seven worker ants rushed out of the surrounding workers who were about to feed it. Six of them bit the six jointed limbs of the queen ant and pulled them backwards. The remaining one climbed onto the queen's back a few times, and popped out its mouthparts like a tape measure.

Although it struggled with all its strength, it obviously lacked exercise for a guy like this that usually needs to be fed even for meals. Although it was not small in size, it was tightly controlled by the six spy ants.

The nest worker ants around the queen were a little dazed by what they saw. These worker ants who suddenly attacked their queen had some legal identification. They couldn't figure out why their companions attacked their queen.

By the time they wanted to help the queen ant, it was too late, and two of them reacted quickly and were stopped by the unhandled spy ants.

The tape measure straightened into a steel needle, piercing the gap in the queen's armor!

For a moment, the queen ants curled up and struggled painfully like those soldier ants.

In the primitive ant nest without effective treatment, most of the muscles in the body were melted.

It is dead!

The spy ants didn't wait for the queen to die, she could struggle for a long time.

The task is complete, and before the ant nest reacts, they must hurry up and evacuate.

However, first of all, we need to get rid of the few ant nest worker ants that are getting in the way.

Several spy ants stepped forward to entangle the worker ants in the ant nest, while the spy ants that did not step forward raised their chests and abdomen and stretched their tails forward.

Afterwards, the formic acid solution was sprayed out and accurately hit the worker ants in the ant nest.

The number of these ant nest worker ants was not dominant in the first place, and at this time they were hit by long-range artillery fire, and their tentacles and armor began to dissolve.

Without the tentacles, the worker ants are like blind or deaf, losing most of their fighting power in an instant. After resisting for a moment, it was dealt with by the spy ants.

Before the ant nest could react, the spy ants retreated to the hatching room, opened a smuggling channel, and spread strange pheromones.

The ant nest worker ants and soldier ants, who don't know the situation, rely on their instincts to follow the strange pheromones to track the past. For them, this is an important place for ant nests, and they must not lose anything.

It's a pity that they were ambushed by the hive troops guarding here as soon as they got into the smuggling passage.

A nest worker ant had just poked its head out of the hole, and before its tentacles could detect anything, a pair of giant jaws penetrated its head and pinched it out.

The giant jaw soldier ant turned its head, and two nest worker ants stepped forward, grabbed the body of the ant nest worker hanging on the giant jaw, and tore it off. Take advantage of the situation and pass it to the rear, so as not to block the passage for a while.

Many worker ants in the back passed the body of this ant nest worker ant as if they were beating drums to pass flowers, until at the end of the team, a worker ant dragged it back towards the nest.

The giant elk soldier ant cleaned up the burden, and turned around to guard the entrance of the cave again.

At the entrance of the cave, another unknown victim stuck its head out...

In this way, one after another, the corpses were transported to the rear, including worker ants and soldier ants.

After losing hundreds of ants, no heads popped out of the hole anymore.

At this time, the abnormality in the queen's room was finally discovered. After a long period of painful struggle, the queen finally died.

The news of the queen's death turned into scattered pheromones, which gradually spread in the ant nest, and the ants made a mess.

At this time, they naturally no longer care about the strange smell in the hatching room. Moreover, hundreds of companions have already been chased out, so there should be no problem.

Some ants wanted to rush out from the exit of the ant nest, but it was a pity that the place was already surrounded by a dense army of insect nests. Dozens of soldier ants blocked the entrance here, and hundreds of worker ants assisted under their feet.

At the same time, the troops on the periphery of the encirclement were not idle, they were responsible for cleaning up all the returning ant nest members.

The ant nest worker ants that are full of harvest or return empty-handed return to the ant nest one after another. Their figures have long been discovered by the big-eyed scout ants, and before they can react, they are stopped by several times the nest worker ants with it.

The next thing is to grab its legs and feet and fix it, and the giant eel soldier ant or big tooth soldier ant that has been waiting for a long time will come forward and behead it with its sharp weapon.

After these outgoing ant nest members are dealt with, the corpses will be dragged together by worker ants and piled together.

After the war is over, these high-quality proteins will be transported to the mounds above the insect nests, buried on the spot after some embalming treatment, and stored as reserve grains.

A steady stream of ants rushed out from the entrance of the ant nest, and the battle situation gradually became anxious. After all, this is also an ant nest with a population of more than five thousand, and there are a large number of ants hidden in the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, the wreckage and severed arms of the insects gradually increased. There were members of the ant nest and some of the army of the insect nest. They gradually blocked at the entrance of the cave, and due to the reduction of the contact area, the intensity of the war gradually weakened.

The worker ants who assisted in the battle beside the hive soldier ants stepped forward one after another, dragged away the corpses of these enemies or companions, and retreated to the middle to rest.

The worker ants in the circle behind immediately fill in the empty space.

Soldier ants with severe physical exertion will also retreat to make room for other soldier ants to fill in the gaps, while it retreats to the rest area to eat the muscles of the ants to restore its strength.

The bugs fought very cruelly. If they lost more than two limbs, they would be unable to maintain their balance and lose their ability to move, which already meant death.

In addition to choosing to continue fighting and dying on the battlefield, even if it survives after the battle, it will be processed by its companions to recycle protein.

After the hole was cleaned up, the intensity of the war gradually increased again.

More members of the ant nest who received the news of the death of the queen rushed out of the hole in a panic.

The hive troops blocking the exit could no longer intercept them all. Many ant nest worker ants took advantage of the hive troops attacking others, stepping on the bodies of their companions and enemies, trying to cross the line of defense.

More hive soldier ants and worker ants surrounded them from behind, and the scope of the battlefield gradually spread outward from the entrance of the cave.

When the density of ant nest members reached a certain level, a group of worker ants crawled into the periphery of the encirclement, and they lined up in a line, making a standard gesture of spraying formic acid solution.

Subsequently, dense acid rain fell from the sky, radiating most of the battlefield area.

The hive troops are all equipped with acid-resistant armor, and acid rain can only be used as bath water. But the members of the ant nest don't have this kind of black technology, the fragile tentacles have been destructively hit, and the exoskeleton armor has also begun to corrode and break.

Intact insect nest troops are more powerful than ant nest troops, and facing a group of blind enemy troops at this time is even more devastating.

The scope of the battlefield was gradually pushed back to the entrance of the ant nest.
