I Am the Swarm

Chapter 5: explore

Efi Ash, the worm of infinite evolution!

When the energy is sufficient, they can constantly adapt to various harsh environments through rapid evolution to protect themselves.

But if the bug itself is depressed all day long, looking for life and death, does this mentality threaten the survival of the bug? Is Rowan's current optimism related to evolutionary ability?

Luo Wen didn't know and didn't want to think deeply. Anyway, in a short period of time, he had naturally accepted his current identity.

And, it has begun to make efforts to survive better.

For example, now, after Rowan had eaten and drank his fill, he did not go back the same way, but chose to build a lair deeper in the ground.

With the help of the new rake arbor, he can dig a hole in the lower soil layer, where the soil is tighter and the support is stronger, reducing the danger of landslides.

In half a day, he dug out a room the size of a ping pong ball. Compared to his size, which is not as big as a fingernail, this room can be said to be very spacious. The room is covered with a layer of dry sand to prevent the wet floor from having a bad effect on his joints, although it is not known if the bugs get arthritis.

After the room was arranged, he dug several passages to connect the room, some of which came in and out normally, and several escaped. The passages are also connected to each other, and the entrance and exit are blocked with soil. If there are creatures who break in rashly, it will be difficult to find out where the entrances of those passages are.

In addition, he also dug a place for excretion, away from his room, connected by a long passage, and some soft sand was left in the passage to block it to prevent possible odors from flowing back.

Although he has not excreted since he was "born".

Lying in the comfortable room, Rowan began to think about insect life.

Judging from the current situation, he does possess some magical evolutionary abilities, but he still doesn't know what the mechanism of this evolution is and to what extent it can be achieved.

After all, the time is too short, and he has only obtained a relatively obvious evolution. It is still unknown whether there are other hidden evolutions.

It seems that it will take more time and more data to analyze more things.

But he doesn't know how much time he has. With his meager knowledge of entomology, he only knows that insects generally don't live long.

Although, he is a species with a particularly awesome name, but he did not come with an instruction manual when he left the factory, so he is not sure how long he can live.

Then he thought that this is not his hometown, nor is he a species from his hometown. Whether the knowledge there is applicable here is still unknown.

After thinking about it for a long time, he went back to the original point. He lacked enough information. No matter how much he thought about it, it was just a fantasy.

However, he thought of the last time he went to the surface, although there was no thermometer to measure it accurately, it must have been below zero. He spent a lot of time outside, and drank a lot of cold drinks. Except that he was a little uncomfortable at the time, he came back to sleep and was still alive and kicking, nothing happened.

If the bugs in my hometown were frozen for a while, they would be paralyzed. In this way, his situation really cannot be measured by the knowledge over there, not to mention that he is still a half-assed person, remembering some specious knowledge.

After a while, after thinking about the problem, Rowan endured a little more time with lust.

In his previous life, he was also a dead star without a mobile phone. He usually read extracurricular books and watched some small videos, and the time would pass quickly. Now that these entertainment activities are lacking, he realizes that time is difficult, and he must find something to do as soon as possible.

Do what you want, think for a moment, Rowan decides to go to dinner first, after all, he has done a lot of work just now, and he has moved to a new house, so he must go eat something good and celebrate.

With the reluctant cooperation of the tool bugs, Rowan quickly became full, so he fell into boredom again.

He didn't want to rest for the time being, so he planned to dig up along this rhizome to have a look. After all, he didn't see the shadow of the plant when he ran to the surface two times before, although it had something to do with his myopia.

But this strange planet, what the plants in the desert look like, still managed to arouse his curiosity.

Digging along the rhizomes, I found quite a few brothers and sisters of the white worms on the way. It seems that they are still a big family. Rowan is not envious, no matter how many they are, they are not a bunch of fools and tool bugs.

The route showed a slow upward trend, and Rowan didn't know how long he had dug. The end of this rhizome turned out to be a thicker rhizome, which was just a whisker before.

As Rowan continued to move forward, the surrounding roots gradually increased, and a large number of huge roots separated from here, and then extended to the unknown land.

The surrounding temperature gradually increased, and some very small roots slowly appeared, and the shape was completely different from the previous large roots.

Continuing upward, the surroundings are getting brighter and brighter, it seems that it is daytime above. Rowan, who has experienced day and night once, can already distinguish the sky outside from a certain distance underground.

He slowed down his digging speed, his whole body stood up with fluff, and he sensed his surroundings with vigilance. Underground, his digging speed is now very dominant, but it is different on the surface. If there is an opponent the size of a fingernail, he probably won't be able to beat it.

On the side of Rowan's new home, this position from the surface has already reached the sand and stone layer. But perhaps the reason for the numerous roots here is that it is still a soil layer, and there is no sand and petrochemical phenomenon.

In the same way, Rowan also discovered new dangers in the soil layer of this height. Through some vibrations, he could feel that there were many hollow pipes around him, just like the passages arranged in his new home, but it was more complicated. UU reading www.uukanshu. There are vibrations and sounds of unidentified creatures moving in the com.

He carefully avoided these pipes, slowly digging upwards, and finally, after passing through a shallow layer of sand and gravel, he came to the surface.

It was indeed daytime outside, and beside him was a huge cluster of weeds, with its siblings scattered around, and most of the leaves were withered and yellowed. It seems that those tiny roots are these weeds.

And there is a towering giant tree in the distance, Rowan made a general calculation, it probably takes hundreds of himself to hug the trunk.

After a trip out, I did make some new discoveries. First of all, he found that he was not a nocturnal insect, and could see a distance of five or six meters during the day. It seems that what I have been talking about at the beginning of not being short-sighted has also played a role, and my eyesight has really improved a lot.

But this is far from enough. For example, he can only see a small part of the giant tree. The upward branches are blurry, how tall it is, what leaves it grows, whether it blooms or not, whether it bears fruit or not. It seems that vision has to continue to evolve.

Secondly, he also found that this time he came out not as hot as the last time. I don't know if it's because of his increased heat tolerance or because of the shade. The specifics still need to be compared and observed in more detail. Rowan wrote it down in his heart, and then he will find a place without shade to make a comparison again.

Finally, he found the owner of the underground pipes, and several ant-shaped creatures appeared among the weeds. They are generally khaki in color, with round heads, long tentacles, six slender limbs, and the two are half the size of their body, which are quite disproportionate and look like fishhooks, which are quite eye-catching.

They surrounded Rowan in groups with an unfriendly attitude. Rowan guessed with the small hole in his **** that they were not welcoming him.
