I Am the Swarm

Although these farting insects have amazing long-range firepower, they killed a large number of swarm soldier ants after they came out. But their talents share a common characteristic with formic acid spray, which is limited ammunition.

Luo Wen observed carefully, each farting bug can only "poof, poof" 20 to 30 rounds, and then it will run out of ammunition and retreat into the cave. Then a new batch of farts will crawl out again.

Due to the occlusion of the "corn cob", Rowan could not see the specific situation of the farting bug retreating into the hole. Therefore, it is not clear how long it will take them to "reload".

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

Although I don't know how many farting bugs are hidden in the hole, the reserve of one billion bugs gives Rowan great confidence.

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

The talent currently displayed by the other party is amazing enough, and it is worthy of Luo Wen's increased investment. Not to mention that they hide other secrets in the cave, whether it is breeding or planting, he will always have some extra gains.

However, although the opponent has long-range fire support, it lacks a variety of arms, and its actual combat strength and quantity are not the same as those of the big-headed ants.

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

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

The battle lasted for another half a day, and the opponent's white and fat female worm was dragged out of the hole and brought to Rowan.

This is really a super big meat worm. Its head and upper body look 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 queen's small body, which looks very ridiculous. The disproportionate abdomen also makes it lose the most basic ability to move. Its six legs have even become decorations, and they can't touch the ground at all, so they can barely use it when eating.

Although some things were lost, the huge abdomen also gave the queen ant an unparalleled ability to lay eggs, and this was what the swarm needed most at the moment.

Luo Wen, who didn't expect to get such an unexpected joy, was worried when faced with the ants queen who was like a big meat worm.

One is that the appearance of this thing is really bad, he can eat it in the face of spiders and the like, but this milky white wriggling meat worm really makes him a little disgusted.

The second is that he still cannot freely choose genetic evolution, in case his desire to expand the number of insects makes his instinct misunderstand. As a result, when he woke up and looked like this, he really didn't want to live anymore.

After hesitating for a long time, there was no practical solution. Finally, Luo Wen gritted his teeth, swung his tentacles, turned and left.

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

Luo Wen carefully tasted a few small pieces of meat, and ordered some with satisfaction.

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

The first problem has been solved. As for the second point, it is resigned to fate. But Rowan thought about it, experienced the earliest brood incident, he should be able to understand his bottom line instinctively, so he shouldn't have to worry too much.

Rowan was enjoying a big meal here, and the worker ants who had just divided the food over there were not idle. They also need to dissect each other's lairs to let Rowan see what's going on.

Because this expedition brought a small number of worker ants, and there is still a lack of digging ants who are good at digging holes, and the soldier ants next to them will not help with these tasks, so the construction is extremely slow.

Luo Wen is not in a hurry, anyway, there is nothing else to do. After eating, I began to close my eyes and meditate.

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

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

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

"Fuck, isn't this a mushroom?"

In the underground room, rotten wood, small leaves, rotten roots and other basically inedible rags were spread all over the floor. There are rows of small mushrooms growing on it.

The long white handle and the small off-white canopy made Rowan look so kind and familiar.

Luo Wen picked a few of them and tasted them. They tasted good and had enough water. No wonder they could raise so many troops. And this kind of mushroom looks easier to take care of, just need to spread some dry weeds and the like. It doesn't need to be like white fungi, but also requires worker ants to chew the leaves and serve them carefully.

It seems that the cultivation of this kind of mushroom can be vigorously promoted in the future, but the white fungus also needs to continue to be planted. They're Rowan's main source of sugar, and these mushrooms aren't sweet. As for other insects who want to eat sugar, they can eat aphids' papa, which is also very sweet.

Knowing the secret, there is no point in staying here any longer. Arranged for an ant queen to temporarily take over here, the army in the middle continued on the road, and Luo Wen embarked on the return journey.

Before leaving, he looked back at the eye-catching "corn on the cob" again. This big guy with a height of more than 20 meters has a special texture and good air permeability. It is the entrance and exit of the ant nest and the cooling device.

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

Luo Wen shook, let's talk about it later.

Back at the brood, a new gene fragment was uploaded.

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

The genetic templates of these bugs are more imaginative than the templates of crustaceans. No wonder those farting bugs are so beetle-like.

However, these are all side details. The main purpose of Rowan this time is to re-subdivide the responsibilities after upgrading and optimizing the Queen Ant.
