I Am the Swarm

Although these fart bugs have amazing long-range firepower, they killed a large number of swarm soldiers after they came out. But their talent and formic acid jetting have one thing in common, and that is limited ammunition.

Rowan observed it carefully, and each fart worm could only "poof, poof" 20 to 30 rounds before running out of ammunition and withdrawing into the cave. Then a new batch of fart bugs will crawl out again.

Because of the "corn cobs", Rowan couldn't see the specific situation of the fart bug that returned to the hole. So, it's not clear how long it will take them to "reload".

However, judging from the replenishment speed of the formic acid solution, they may not have the chance to play again in this battle.

Although I don't know how many fart bugs are hidden in the cave, the reserve of one billion bugs gave Rowan a huge confidence.

What if all the 15 million troops were lost in battle? In just a few days, the next wave of 15 million teams will be back on the battlefield.

The talent shown by the other party is amazing enough, and it is worth Rowan's increased investment. Not to mention that they hide other secrets in the hole, whether it is breeding or planting, he will always have some extra harvest.

However, although the opponent has long-range firepower support, it lacks a variety of arms, and the actual combat power and quantity are only half as big as those of the big-headed ants.

After the battle lasted for a day, the opponent's support was somewhat weak, and the reinforcements drilled out of the hole began to decrease significantly.

At this time, the number of the swarm was at least eight million.

The battle continued for another half a day, and the other side's chubby female worm was dragged out of the hole and brought to Rowan.

This is really a super big big meat worm, its head and upper body seem to be a little normal, but starting from the waist and abdomen, the whole lower body let go of itself and swelled.

Just like a person has a normal upper body, but the lower body is a container.

In front of the huge milky white abdomen hangs the small body of the queen ant, which looks very ridiculous. The disproportionate abdomen also makes it lose its most basic mobility. Its six walking legs have even become decorations, and they can't touch the ground at all, so they can only be used reluctantly when eating.

Although something is lost, the huge abdomen also gives the queen an unparalleled ability to lay eggs, which is exactly what the swarm needs most right now.

Rowan, who did not expect to receive such unexpected joy, was worried when faced with the ant queen like a big meat worm.

First, the appearance of this thing is really bad, he can go down in the face of spiders and the like, but the milky white squirming worms really make him a little disgusted.

The second is that he can't freely choose genetic evolution yet. In case he desperately wants to expand the number of insect swarms, his instincts have misunderstood. As a result, when he woke up, he grew up like this, then he really didn't want to live.

After hesitating for a long time, there was no practical solution. In the end, Rowan gritted his teeth, wiggled his tentacles, and turned to leave.

After a while, the muscle tissue that was cut into small pieces was sent to Rowan. Those worker ants are not as hypocritical as Rowan. In their cognition, they can only eat or not, and they don't care about other things at all.

Rowan tasted a few small pieces of meat carefully and was a little satisfied.

In fact, if you don't think about the original appearance of the ingredients, this thing still tastes good. Sticky and Confucian, there is a feeling of eating white meat, a taste of meat and milk mixed around the mouth.

The first problem is solved. As for the second point, it is up to fate. However, Rowan thought for a while. Having experienced the earliest mother nest incident, his instinct should be able to understand what his bottom line is, so he shouldn't be too worried.

Rowan is enjoying a big meal here, and the worker ants who have just finished dividing the food are not idle. They also need to dissect each other's lair to let Rowan see what happened.

Because this expedition brought a small number of worker ants, and there was also a lack of digging ants, the soldier ants next to him would not help with these tasks, so the construction was extremely slow.

Rowan is not in a hurry, anyway, there is nothing else to do. After eating, I closed my eyes and meditated.

A few hours later, support troops arrived at the front line, including a large number of worker and digger ants.

After another day and night, the secrets in the depths of the other party's lair were revealed to Rowan without reservation.

Its interior is basically the same as that of the big-headed ant nest, and it also masters the planting technology. They don't grow that white, fibrous fungus crop, though. Instead, they planted something that Rowan looked very familiar with at first glance.

"Fuck, isn't this a mushroom?"

In the underground room, rotten wood, small leaves, rotten tree roots and other basically inedible junk were spread all over the floor. Rows of small mushrooms grow on top.

The long thin white handle~www.novelmt.com~ and the small gray-white canopy made Rowan look so kind and familiar.

Luo Wen picked up a few and tasted them. They tasted pretty good, and they had plenty of water. No wonder they were able to raise so many troops. And the mushrooms look much easier to take care of, just spread some dry weeds or something. It does not need to be like the white fungi, but also requires worker ants to chew the leaves and serve them carefully.

It seems that the cultivation of this mushroom can be vigorously promoted in the future, but the white fungi also need to continue to be cultivated. They're Rowan's main source of sugar, and these mushrooms aren't sweet. As for other bugs who want to eat candy, they can eat aphid's Baba, which is also very sweet.

Knowing the secret, there is no point in staying here any longer. An ant queen was arranged to temporarily take over here, the middle army continued on the road, and Rowan set foot on the way back.

Before leaving, he looked back at the dazzling "corn on the cob". This big guy with a height of more than 20 meters has a special texture and good ventilation. It is the entrance and exit of the ant nest and a heat sink.

It's just that this architectural style is really indecent and too conspicuous. However, now that the insect swarm is not familiar with the growth pattern and environment of the new crops, it is not appropriate to change the building layout rashly.

Rowan shook it, let's talk about it later.

Returning to the mother's nest, uploading a new gene fragment.

These bugs, although in appearance, they look similar to ants. But in terms of genetic templates, they are quite different.

The gene templates of these bugs and crustaceans are more imaginative, no wonder those farting bugs are so much like beetles.

However, these are all side-by-side details. Rowan's main purpose this time is to re-subdivide his responsibilities after upgrading and optimizing the queen ant.
