I Am the Swarm

During this period of time, he had nothing to do. Using the spider gene as a template and adding the big eye gene, he was specially sent to patrol the cliff, and was also responsible for scouting the desert above the cliff.

Just a few days ago, he received news that an army of earthy yellow ants appeared in the desert again. Because the scouting spider's expression was very vague, he hurriedly climbed to the top of the cliff to observe and collect information for himself.

Protruding quietly from the cliff, his big eyes have been growing for hundreds of days and nights, and they can already clearly observe an area within a radius of 50 meters.

At this time, more than 20 meters in front of him, there were densely packed yellowish ants stacked on top of each other, trampling on each other, like a muddy torrent of yellowish yellow passing before Luo Wen's eyes.

When approaching the cliff, the army turned around and rolled away.

After staring at it for several hours, Luo Wen waited until all the army passed by. At the same time, after a period of recuperation, the green and vibrant desert became empty and desolate again, leaving only sporadic yellowish ants wandering on it that did not keep up with the large army.

Rowan finally knew how the scenes he saw when he walked all the way in the desert came about. These yellow ants used the entire desert as a hunting ground, sweeping it every once in a while.

No wonder this area is located not too far above the underground river, but it has always seemed desolate.

At the same time, the number of those yellow ants also made Luo Wen secretly speechless.

He made a comparison with the worms in the worm nest. When more than 10,000 worms are stacked, there is actually only a small lump, which does not take up too much space.

Then think of the billowing yellow dust that can't be seen at a glance, traveling for several hours...

Luo Wen couldn't figure out how many yellow ants would be needed to make up that scene, but he believed that if it could be clearly measured by numbers, then the final number must be very, very long.

When he saw that scene at the beginning, Rowan was already planning to move. Although the strength of the insect nest had increased a lot, if he faced the army of yellow ants, he believed that the ending would not be much different from before.

Later, he found that the yellow ants would not approach the cliff, and he thought that his younger brothers had already acquired the magical ability to eat soil. At worst, when the army came, they would retreat underground for several days, and then come out after the army left.

Coupled with the various limitations of relocating the base, this idea was dispelled. At the same time, he still has ambitions. One day he wants to lead the worms to kill the army of yellow ants head-on, and avenge his revenge for breaking his intestines and leaving his hometown.

Oh, I was wrong, Luo Wen is not a person who holds grudges, this idea is also to seek an explanation for the vast number of desert animals and plants.

So in order to get stronger revenge, ahem, ahem, to better argue, the military must be expanded. Then the insect nest must be further developed, and it is imperative to clean up the surrounding ant nests.

As for things like hard work and hard work, it is natural not to mention it again.

Today is the day when the army is going out, and the first goal is to clean up the four surrounding ant nests. Destroy an ant nest every day, plus follow-up cleaning the battlefield, counting the spoils, and strive to complete it within a week.

Although the worm nest can crush a single ant nest in terms of the number of troops, but in order to reduce unnecessary losses, there should be some battle plans.

The battle started in a sneak attack, and a dozen spy ants changed their pheromones and broke into the queen's position without any hindrance.

This is a channel-like room, with a huge ant queen lying in the center. It looks like a worker ant magnified dozens of times, except that its abdomen is long and bulging, and there are yellow ring-shaped patterns on it, which is very beautiful.

There are four strong soldier ants around it in charge of vigilance, and some worker ants line up to feed the queen with the food in their mouths.

There are also several worker ants behind the queen's abdomen to carry away the eggs it has just discharged.

At this time, a dozen or so ants were suddenly crowded into the room, which obviously attracted the attention of the soldier ants in the room, but after detecting with the tentacles, no abnormalities were found, so they stopped paying attention.

The spy ants are prepared with common worker ants as the basic template, and then added gene fragments that change pheromones, ejection start, and formic acid injection.

But this is just an old version.

Several spy ants approached and surrounded the queen with food in their mouths, pretending to feed it.

The other spy ants spread out and approached the four soldier ants respectively.

Although the soldier ants were a little anxious about the approach of the spy ants, they did not make any drastic moves and let the spy ants crawl on them.

In an ant nest, it is normal to step on each other, especially soldier ants are bigger and have more experience of being trampled.

After the spy ant climbed onto the back of the soldier ant, a group of mouthparts like a tape measure slowly protruded from its mouth, and the tape measure slowly straightened and became like a steel needle.

Then it inserted through the gap in the armor of the soldier ants, but the soldier ants didn't notice it.

After the last battle with spiders, when configuring the new version of spy ants, Rowan wanted to equip them with some poisonous weapons.

Because their positioning is to infiltrate and collect intelligence, and they can also behead key characters at critical moments, acting as special arms of assassins.

Although Luo Wen sometimes wondered, is it too much to engage in some bugs like this, is it necessary to play so complicated with some low IQs?

Then I thought of the black-armored "God of War" who was murdered, the poisonous spider who was beaten to death and had no power to fight back, and the army of earthy yellow ants all over the sky.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that bugs may not have a high IQ, but their instincts cultivated over a long period of time and some evolved black technologies still need to be taken seriously.

Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, and if you engage in multi-army cooperation, you should entertain yourself.

However, when it was actually prepared, it was discovered that the spider's venom needs the cooperation of its pair of fangs. Rowan also grew a pair of fangs before he could use venom injection to attack.

The worker ants are smaller in size, and there is no room for a pair of fangs on their heads. Even if it is configured forcibly, it is estimated that the fangs will be stunted and small in size, so it should be no problem to deal with units of their size.

But if they are dealing with units larger than them, such as soldier ants, their small fangs may not be able to penetrate the armor of soldier ants.

Moreover, the current positioning of the worker ants is to provide long-range support and auxiliary attacks, and there is not much need to strengthen melee attacks.

And configuring this gene to produce eggs requires a lot of extra energy. Compared with its function, the cost performance is a bit too low.

So, Luo Wen thought of the camouflage bug back then, which was a typical representative of the weak overcoming the strong.

Moreover, although its needle-shaped mouthparts have great limitations, this attack method of finding weaknesses, using poison, and injecting death is unexpectedly suitable for the spy ants, an assassin unit.

Thus, there is a scene where the spy ants assassinate the soldier ants.

Suddenly the soldier ants seemed to have noticed something. The four soldier ants began to roll and struggle almost in no particular order. Their bodies seemed to lose their coordination, and they couldn't even stand firmly. Finally, they curled up and trembled continuously, looking very painful. look.

At the beginning, the black beetle didn't notice until it died, and it died silently. That's because although the camouflage insect was also very thin, its body length was about the same as that of the black beetle, and it could barely be regarded as an opponent of the same level.

But after all, the size difference between spy ants and soldier ants is too large, and there is a gap of several times. The venom produced and stored by the spy ants themselves cannot kill the soldier ants in one blow.

However, this was enough. A large area of ​​muscle in the soldier ants was melted. Although they were not dead yet, they could no longer control their bodies and lost their ability to fight.

Their appearance is not as good as the black beetle's painless death.
