I Am the Swarm

The insect remains on the battlefield have piled up like a mountain, khaki and black mixed together. The things that were originally contested by the two sides have not been cleaned up for a long time.

Intense battles are still taking place on the Worm Mountain. From a distance, all kinds of insects are in sight, the living ones and the dead ones can no longer be distinguished clearly.

The eighteenth day of the war between the two sides.

The soldier ants of the earthy yellow ants can hardly be seen on the battlefield, and the soldier ants of the insect swarm have already been exhausted. These days, they are relying on tens of millions of new soldier ants and reinforcements every day and a large number of worker ants. support.

When the enemy had no more soldier ants, the advantage of the swarm adding tens of millions of soldier ants every day gradually became apparent.

The main battle units of the khaki ants and swarms, from the very first soldier ants VS soldier ants.

Developed to the following soldier ants VS soldier ants + worker ants.

And then to the following soldier ants + worker ants VS worker ants + a small number of soldier ants.

Worker ants VS worker ants + soldier ants until now.

Moreover, as the war continued, the number of soldier ants in the swarm increased.

The powerful logistics and endurance capabilities of the swarm were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Three days later, the army of the khaki ants, which had been unable to see the edge, could finally see the edge, and victory was just around the corner.

This made Rowan very excited.

And Rowan's will is the will of the swarm, and Rowan's mobilization for himself is the war mobilization for the swarm.

The inspired swarm cooperated with the reloaded farting bugs to intensify their counterattack.

At the same time, all the transport bugs near the front line were recruited by Luo Wen to join the battle.

This war has gone on long enough, it's time to end it.

Under the full attack of the swarm, the war lasted for another two full days, and finally ended with the swarm winning the final victory.

The earth-yellow natural disasters that ravaged the desert were completely wiped out.

According to post-war statistics, the war lasted for a full twenty-three days.

On the battlefield like a meat grinder here, it is impossible to calculate how many combat units the two sides have lost. But Rowan knew that the 50 billion army that the swarm had assembled at the beginning were basically all killed. Afterwards, a large number of worker ants were thrown in, and all of them were killed or injured. Coupled with the successive additions of soldier ants, the number of units damaged by the swarm was close to 90 billion.

It can be said that a war wiped out nearly 90% of the population of the swarm, and a large number of bases were abandoned due to loss of maintenance.

The queen of the swarm has nothing to lose, though.

Looking at the mountain of corpses that stretched for ten kilometers and had an average height of more than ten meters, when the queens digested these trophies, the insect swarm would become even stronger.

At the same time, the desert above the cliff will also become the back garden of the swarm. The hunting ground that originally belonged to the yellow ants will become the territory of the swarm.

This is a huge territory that takes more than four hundred days to hunt around, at least it must be hundreds of times the original territory of the swarm. Anyway, Rowan couldn't imagine how big it was.

Back then, not long after he was hatched, he encountered yellowish ants, and was swept away by a sandstorm, and he didn't know how far he flew. After landing and walking along the underground river for so long, they still haven't walked out of this hunting ground. From these places, it can also be seen from the side how huge this territory is.

Moreover, although this territory looks like a desert, there must be something special, otherwise it would be impossible to support such a huge army of yellow ants.

You must know that in this war, their battle damage must be higher than that of the insect swarm, at least hundreds of billions.

In addition to the territory and worm bones, Rowan has other gains.

The yellow ants fought to the last, and in the center of their ranks, the swarm found thousands of queens.

They hunt with the army constantly to supplement food, and when they accumulate to a certain level, they will stay in place for a period of time. A large number of eggs are produced at one time, and after these eggs mature, the army will continue on the road.

The genes of these queen ants will once again increase the production efficiency of the queen ants of the swarm. The swarm now has a lot of food waiting to be consumed, and there is no need to spend time accumulating it.

In addition, there are some kind of insects hidden in the yellow ants, which can also be said to be some kind of livestock. They are about 20 centimeters in length, and their appearance looks like a giant version of some kind of bug larvae. It is a rare bug that grows so big that it doesn't have an exoskeleton armor.

Their characteristic is that they can eat and grow meat, and their energy conversion ratio is quite high. Eat ten servings of food to grow nine servings of meat.

When the yellow ants collect too much food, they will feed the excess food to the bug. Conversely, when the food is scarce, the yellow ants will eat them.

A rather sad bug, but their characteristics seem to be of no use to the bug swarm for the time being. Therefore, it seems that there is no need for production.

After the great war, Luo Wen felt quite relaxed and happy once he understood the grievances accumulated not long after he was born. It's a pity that things like revenge and sudden enlightenment did not happen in the novel, which is quite a pity.

After more than 20 days of fighting, although Luo Wen did not directly participate in the battle, he was already very tired mentally.

After arranging the follow-up matters a little, he found a place at the bottom of the cliff and fell into a deep sleep.

This place originally belonged to the frontier of the war, but now it is the hinterland of the swarm territory.

Therefore, Rowan slept very peacefully.

After waking up again, Rowan didn't know how many days had passed.

Here, he is probably the only one who understands the concept of time.

The Zongke mountain range above the cliff has disappeared for less than half, and these trophies have been transported to the basic storm base for burial.

The ant queens in the storm base and other branch bases have received a new order from Rowan before going to bed to stop producing soldier ants and start producing worker ants with all their strength.

The swarm currently has two to three hundred million soldier ants, which is enough to defend the existing territory without continuing to explore. Therefore, the main task now is to replenish the worker ants and restore the normal operation of the bases.

After returning to the mother nest, connect to the mother nest, upload new gene fragments, and update the gene bank of the queen ant at the same time.

Then the production order of the old version of the queen was canceled first, and then the settings were reset to start hatching the new version of the queen.

During this operation, Luo Wen also discovered a surprise.

The meat worm gene, which was thought to be useless at first, unexpectedly could speed up the nutrient absorption speed of the worms and shorten their development time.

Although they still have to go through the stages of eggs-larvae-pupa-adults, their growth cycle can be shortened by one-third.

In other words, the worms that originally took thirty days to mature, now only need twenty days to go out and start working.

I didn't expect that a bug swarm weakness discovered on the battlefield would be solved so quickly. Although it still didn't reach the level expected by Rowan, it had taken a big step forward.

At the same time, in this connection with the brood, Rowan also got some vague information, a message of opportunity.
