I Am the Swarm

There will be three types of new queens.

The first type of queen ant has the smallest number. They are mainly responsible for accompanying the army and act as the commander of the army. Because they basically do not need to lay eggs, their spawning ability has been weakened, their muscles and body shape have been strengthened, and their mobility and self-protection ability have been slightly improved.

The second type of queen is the standard queen of the previous swarm. Their abilities are relatively average, they can not only lay eggs, but also can be evacuated from the base at any time in critical moments, or be transferred to the army. At the same time, they are also the most numerous.

The third type of queen is the one with the newly acquired gene implanted, which alienates the egg-laying organs in the abdomen. They incapacitate for larger and faster spawning. But because of this, they will be arranged in the hinterland of the swarm territory.

Luo Wenhui will build several breeding bases, and each base plans to arrange hundreds of these three-type ant queens to focus on breeding larvae. They will mass-produce certain types of bugs on Rowan's orders.

For example, in normal times, their main task is to breed various types of worker ants, and when the larvae mature, they are transported to various places in the territory. In wartime, these bases are large troop dispatch points.

After dozens of days, the three-type queen ants gradually matured, and the number of insect swarms began to explode.

And for such a long time, the swarm has also mastered the cultivation method of "mushroom". This new crop can effectively clean up the dead branches and leaves in the territory, and it is easy to grow and has sufficient quantity, and has been widely promoted.

At the same time, the insect swarm did not completely imitate the architectural style of the yellow insect, but tried to adopt the construction layout of the large-headed ant with many cooling holes.

Experiments in several bases, after observing a growth cycle, the "mushroom" grows well and has not been affected in any way, and it is also popularized.

Hundreds of days and nights have passed, and the swarm territory has expanded by hundreds of kilometers. There are more than 30,000 bases in the territory. In the later period, the distance between the bases was huge, and the scene of dozens of bases in the first few hundred square meters was no longer there.

Afterwards, Rowan even re-planned the initial thousands of bases, leaving only a few hundred queens to take care of these bases, and the rest were transferred to the new territory to guard.

Although there are thousands of more bases without queens, these bases have not been abandoned. Their underground planting systems are already very perfect, and there will be no problems without queens.

Although the base is limited by the production capacity of the mother nest, the increase is not much. But the number of bugs per base doubled. On average, millions of bugs of all kinds gather in each base.

Roughly calculated, the total number of insect swarms has exceeded 30 billion.

With so many subordinates, he has always been stuck in his throat. When he was still relatively weak, he was seriously injured by a certain powerful enemy. Rowan felt that it was time to touch them.

Thinking of this, Rowan is very excited. He is not a vengeful person. Revenge is the second priority. The most important thing is that there is finally something to look forward to.

But unfortunately, it will take at least two hundred days before the natural yellow ants will hunt again to the top of the cliff.

In the early days, Rowan sent scout bugs to stay on the cliff. Through observation, it has been calculated that it takes about 400 days for the natural yellow ants to hunt around.

More than a hundred days ago, when the natural yellow ants swarmed to the top of the cliff, Rowan had no idea about them at that time, because he felt that his strength was insufficient.

But he greatly underestimated the speed of the swarm's violent soldiers. With the accumulation of the number of queens, the speed of the violent soldiers increased exponentially.

However, just over a hundred days later, Rowan's thoughts changed. According to the current speed, when the next time the natural yellow ants arrive, the swarm may not have to be hundreds of billions in number.

It is completely possible to have a good time with the natural yellow ants.

So, the following days passed extra slowly in Rowan's expectation, which made him experience a feeling of living like a year.

Finally, there are only dozens of days before the natural yellow ants arrive again, and the swarm has already begun to prepare for the upcoming war.

The troops and horses go ahead without moving food and grass!

About one kilometer away from the cliff, Rowan built several storage bases here, and a large number of transport insects shuttled between the territories, transporting various resources to this place continuously.

Not far from these storage bases, there are several hatching bases, in which a large number of soldier ant eggs are hatched. It is estimated that by the time of the war, these hatching bases can replenish tens of millions of soldiers of various types for the swarm every day.

When there were more than ten days before the calculation time, several troops began to return. Then, some bases farthest from the cliff began to send troops.

As time goes by, each base starts to send troops at different levels. If you look from above, you can see that in the swarm territory, a black line of troops is converging towards the bottom of the cliff.

According to Rowan's prediction, the swarm army will be assembled three days before the calculation date.

After more than 200 days of development, the total number of insect swarms has reached 100 billion ahead of schedule. For this large-scale war, Rowan has deployed almost all the available soldiers~www.novelmt.com~ Under the condition that the farms and plantations in the territory are guaranteed to operate normally, a full half of the bugs are summoned to the front.

Every day these more than 50 billion bugs stay, they will consume a lot of materials. Therefore, Rowan arranged for them to arrive three days in advance, which is also the limit of the burden of the swarm.

However, there were still seven days left until the day of calculation, and the scouts on the cliffs had already discovered the vanguard of the khaki ants.

According to the rules, there are at most two days, and the follow-up army will definitely come. But at this time, most of the swarm's troops are still on the road, and even after two days, they can only gather about half.

Unexpectedly, this time, the natural yellow ants would arrive earlier for some unknown reason. Fortunately, there are not many in advance, and Rowan also expected this to happen before.

Now, there is no need to worry about the material issue. As long as the two sides fight, a lot of food will be produced.

What we need to think about now is how to hold back the army of natural yellow ants for two days.

It didn't take two days for the army of the khaki ants to arrive. Maybe they noticed some anomalies, after all, their vanguard had not sent back news for a long time.

The army of insect swarms, with their backs against the cliff, is already waiting. The force composition this time is still dominated by various soldier ants. After all, the opponent also has acid-resistant armor, and the role of the worker ants is not great.

Natural yellow ants know how aggressive they are from the way they live on safari.

When he discovered the swarm in front of him, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately started the ejection and rushed up.

These guys are the source of the catapult start gene template, and it is naturally handy to use this trick. But the soldier ants of the swarm were not at all cowardly, and they also started to shoot up to meet them.

The war has officially begun.
