I Am the Swarm

The south of the nest is a cliff, and the east is blocked by lakes and rivers. Even so, only the west connects the fan-shaped area to the north. With the continuous advancement of the three-way army, the territory of the insect swarm is also rapidly increasing.

As time passed, Rowan sent hundreds of queen ants one after another to guard and develop new territories.

The scale of the insect swarm continues to expand, but there is still a big gap between the front and the army of hard yellow ants.

The boring days continued day by day, no internet, no mobile phone, no games, no newspapers, not even a talking creature.

Lonely feelings enveloped Rowan. Gradually, the news delivered by the three-way army every three days became his greatest expectation. These news were the only remedy in his current monotonous life.

It's a pity that although the queen ant has a little IQ, it is only compared to the ordinary worker ant soldier ant. They can't write about what they see and hear on the road in a rich, exciting and fascinating way. There wasn't even a single extra word, and the messages sent back were basically normal, so Rowan was simply sent away.

The bored Rowan felt that if he didn't do anything, he might die of depression. He sometimes lies on the trunk of a tree, looking at the lake in the distance, and even rises up to try swimming to see if he can evolve the talent of breathing in water.

Fortunately, his rationality still prevailed, barely suppressing these thoughts of death.

However, as he becomes more and more restless, the high ground of reason will gradually be smoothed out.

Just when he was getting more and more eager to play tricks, good news finally came from the front line, and the army on the north road encountered red ants again.

Although the black ants are industrious, but they are independent and have low combat power, after being discovered, they cannot pose any threat to them except to increase the food reserves of the expedition army.

Therefore, although the three-way army has destroyed countless black ant nests, these are trivial matters and do not need to be reported at all.

But red ants are different. They are a species of safari ants, and they can even enslave black ants that are several times their number, which is very threatening.

It would be an accident in the expedition army, but Rowan had specially warned the queen. After finding the trace of the red ant, notify him immediately, then retreat 500 meters, station in place, and wait for his arrival.

The queen ant faithfully carried out his orders, and the army of the North Road has advanced an unknown distance. The red ants discovered this time are definitely not the remnants of the previous nest, it represents a new red ant nest.

Rowan has been expecting something to divert his attention and pull him back from the road to death.

However, due to the life pattern of red ants and their numbers, it is destined that each nest needs a large area in order to maintain their survival and development.

Therefore, it took so long for the North Road Army to discover another red ant nest.

Fortunately, although it was a little late, it came anyway. Rowan didn't delay and set off immediately.

On the way, he thought of the earthy yellow ants from the red ants. Their behavior patterns are very similar, and they all make a living by hunting. But only tens of millions of red ant nests need such a large site.

Then, how much land do the yellow ants need to support them?

Maybe they don't sweep every few hundred days. Instead, they are sweeping every moment, and they travel according to the established route, and it takes hundreds of days each time they reach the cliff.

Luo Wen was speechless, if he thought so, how many soldiers would he have to save to get revenge?

Just in his wild thoughts, eight long legs led him all the way.

He is now more than 60 centimeters long, and his long legs can even reach a height of more than one meter. Ordinary worker ants are really like a little bit in front of him.

But this new breathing and oxygen supply system has also reached its limit. If Rowan's body continues to grow, they will not be able to maintain the normal oxygen supply in Rowan's body.

Therefore, Rowan faced a new shackle and urgently needed some new gene fragments for reference.

But the environment by this river is mostly ants, and now I can only hope that the other two armies going deep into the inland will make new discoveries.

After traveling for about three kilometers, Rowan just passed a swarm base, which is also the farthest sub-base so far. Going forward from here, it leaves the actual control area of ​​​​the swarm.

Originally, Luo Wen thought that the North Road army was not far ahead, but he abruptly walked another two kilometers without finding any trace of the North Road army.

At first, he thought he was going in the wrong direction, but the landmark pheromone left on the side of the road suggested that he was not going wrong. Later, he wondered if the North Road army had been killed. But there was no trace of the aftermath of the war to be found along the way.

The trees here are extraordinarily lush, and it seems that it has just rained. Water droplets are constantly dripping from the leaves above their heads, and some of them will just happen to fall on Rowan's armor, bringing a cool feeling.

The ground is also very muddy, and there are puddles in some places. They are an insurmountable gulf for ordinary worker ants~www.novelmt.com~ But with Rowan's current size, these puddles can be easily crossed.

The pheromone retained here is also affected by the rain, and has become much thinner, and some places have even been damaged by puddles. Fortunately, with the increase in size, Rowan's tentacles have also become much longer, and the detection range has expanded a lot, and finally he has not lost his way.

However, he also slowed down his speed. He walked out of the territory so far without finding the North Road army, which was a bit abnormal. After all, he was more cautious.

Although he didn't quite believe that anything would set up a trap to target him, but in case, his muscles in his feet were tight, and he was ready to run at any time.

Just groping forward like this, and after walking for nearly two kilometers, the sky gradually became dark, and it rained sparsely in the sky.

Although there are still road sign pheromones scattered on the road, there is no problem with the identity certificate contained in it.

But Rowan himself is a master at altering identity information, but at the beginning he used the confusing road sign pheromone to play the red-black ant coalition all over the place. There is no guarantee that there will be nothing that will use this trick to deal with him now.

And now it's nearly four kilometers beyond the territory. It stands to reason that the ant queen will be dispatched immediately before the army has advanced a certain distance.

On the one hand, it is to occupy the territory, and on the other hand, it can provide certain supplies to the army, and it can also facilitate the transmission of news.

In this situation, should a few signal soldiers crawl alone for several kilometers to return to the swarm territory?

The signal soldiers are only served by ordinary worker ants. They are not Rowans. There are too many dangers that can threaten their lives along the way.

Just when Rowan was gradually convinced by his own analysis and became more and more convinced that this was a trap, reality gave him a slap in the face.
