I Am the Swarm

In fact, Luo Wen didn't want to start something now, the longer the delay, the stronger it would be for him. It will take time for the accumulated heritage of the swarm to convert it into force. However, through observation in the past two days, the size of the Red Ant coalition army on the front line has reached more than 500,000, and the area near the border has been overrun by them, and the overdraft is serious, and their daily consumption has gradually been unable to maintain.

Luo Wen saw several teams of red ants eat by attacking the black ants in the team.

The situation has reached the most dangerous moment, and the current Red Ant coalition forces either choose to attack or retreat. But the probability of retreat is very low, so a full-scale war between the two sides is imminent.

Time waits for no one, and there are more than 50,000 digging ants, and every 500 of them take a transport bug.

There are more than 5,000 small soldier ants escorting the team. They are small in size, and one transporter can carry 800 to 900 ants.

In addition, the team also brought a small amount of big-eyed scout bugs and spy bugs.

Under the leadership of Luo Wen, more than a hundred transport bugs marched quickly towards the enemy-occupied area with long legs, avoiding some local eyeliners on the way.

An hour later, the troops arrived at the designated location.

This is the edge of the river bank closest to the red ants' nest, and the distance from here to the red ants' nest is about 600 meters.

Without much delay, Luo Wen began to dig the canal half a meter away from the river. His huge body was like a giant excavator, and he hastily opened a gully on the ground, extending towards the red ants' nest.

The digging ants are responsible for following behind Rowan, carrying out the soil in the gully, and then expanding, leveling and polishing it.

The big-eyed scouts and the little soldier ants were scattered around the team, responsible for security work, and the transport bugs climbed to the surrounding vegetation to start trimming.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the excavation was progressing very fast. After all, Luo Wen did the most difficult work alone. His large excavation was enough to dig up the hard ground, which could save a lot of physical strength of the digging ants behind him.

The plan went smoothly, and occasionally a few passing enemy scouts were quickly dealt with, providing the team with a little protein reserve.

However, as the excavation work got closer and closer to the enemy's lair, more and more enemy troops were encountered, and the scale became larger and larger.

However, the soldier ants still had an absolute numerical advantage, and at the same time, the transport bugs were also sent over. Faster and more agile, they are responsible for prowling the perimeter of the battlefield, chasing down fleeing enemy troops in case they pass on their message. Spy bugs clean up the pheromones they disperse.

However, when they were only more than 20 meters away from the enemy's lair, the team's whereabouts were still exposed.

Due to the serious physical exhaustion of the troops due to the long-term battle, and the fact that this place is very close to the enemy's lair, the enemy's activities here are very frequent.

Although the swarm still had the upper hand in terms of overall strength, they were no longer able to intercept all the enemy's routs, and in the end it was still rumors of leaks.

Fortunately, there is only a little distance left now, and the communication efficiency of the ants is not too high.

Luo Wen, who is well aware of the operation rules of the ant nest, knows that although a few deserters have been leaked, it will take some time for the red ants to react.

He seized this spare time, no longer hiding, and started digging towards the "small volcano" in front of him with all his strength.

At the same time, 20 transport bugs quickly left the battlefield with 10,000 digging ants and returned to the river bank. They have to go back and dig out the half-meter-wide barriers of rivers and ditches.

Leaving one-fifth of the labor force, although the excavation progress has been slightly slowed down, the impact is not too great.

More than ten minutes later, under the desperate cover of the soldier ants, Rowan dug up the mountain wall of the "small volcano", and a large hole appeared on it, revealing the dark and winding ant nest passage inside.

This blow was like poking a hornet's nest, and a large number of red and black ants rushed out from the gap.

At this time, Luo Wen was tired and exhausted. It was too much for him to dig a 600-meter canal. In the last ten meters, he had to hold his breath and finish digging.

At this moment, he finally completed the task, he was relieved, all the exhaustion surged up, and he didn't even have the strength to lift up his digging feet.

But staying here at this time is completely looking for death. He held up his last strength and retreated some distance.

The digging ants behind him passed him and covered his retreat. Seeing a large number of red and black ants rushing over like a two-color torrent, the digging ants stretched their buttocks forward, posing in a standard spray shape.

Formic acid solution spray!

In the first round, thousands of digging ants aimed their formic acid solution at the breach at the same time, and the vanguard of the enemy army was directly stunned by this wave of long-range saturation attacks.

One digging ant does not carry a lot of formic acid solution, but the amount accumulated by thousands of ants is not to be underestimated. The acid liquid flows on the ground before it even has time to penetrate into the soil, and gathers on the ground to form an acid stream. The mouth of the hole flows into the depths of the ant nest.

Many enemy soldiers didn't even react, their tentacles and joints were dissolved by the formic acid, losing their ability to move, struggling in vain in the formic acid stream, and slowly losing their voices.

Rowan retreated to the rear and immediately began to command. He first ordered a few worker ants to carry some ant fragments from the nearby battlefield, and he needed to replenish his energy.

Afterwards, 20,000 digging ants were separated to climb to the "crater" and block it. Whenever an enemy army appeared, they would spray formic acid solution inside.

The rest of the digging ants guard the gap just dug. If the enemy rushes out, they will be served by the formic acid solution.

The remaining soldier ants and transport insects are protected on the two wings of the team. Now the large army of the ant nest is blocked in the nest and cannot come out. With the patrol team outside, the soldier ants can still withstand it for the time being.

Another half an hour passed, during which the ant nest organized several charges, all of which were sprayed back by the formic acid solution.

The formic acid solution spray is used to block such openings, and the lethality is geometrically increased, far exceeding their performance on a large-scale battlefield.

However, these rounds of suicide charges were not useless, they consumed a large amount of formic acid solution reserves of the digging ants. If the enemy forces make another charge, it is estimated that the reserves will be exhausted.

But at this moment, there was a series of rushing water sounds from a distance, and water flow appeared in the distant canal.

In the blink of an eye, the water rushed to the front, carrying the corpse of the digging ant floating above it, and pierced it through the gap in the ant nest.

Luo Wen understood that the insects' respiratory system was not very resistant to flooding. Digging the last barriers of the canals and rivers is very dangerous. If you can't dodge a little, you will be submerged in water.

The size of the ant can be excavated, and it is not easy to dodge in time. This is a suicidal task.

However, their sacrifice was not in vain.
