Chapter 38: The Swarm Virus
In an unknown galaxy, a large, slow-moving mother worm lies on top of the fungus blanket, surrounded by alien worker bees guarding it. Worker bees can be the backbone of a nest that can be built and operated. They are needed to collect crystal ore or high-energy gas for hatching insects.
And now, these worker bees, which seem to be a little different, are carrying out special work on the body of this insect mother after special adjustment.
Worker bees have a fat, bloated and immobile abdominal pouch that grows randomly in all corners of the body, hindering movement and making these unsightly creatures even uglier.
Such a careless adjustment is obviously a forced choice, this worm mother has not much heart to perfect these useful adjustments, what she wants now is to end all this.
The distracted adjustment turned out to be enough at this moment. The worker bees quickly absorb the nutrients provided by the fungus blanket, and under the amazing efficiency of the internal organs, these nutrients are quickly synthesized into healing saliva, and under the special mutation of oral squeezing, these are spit out on the body of the mother worm as soon as they arrive in the abdomen.
The healing saliva is evenly sprayed on the body of the mother worm, and the healing liquid of these creatures slowly nourishes the healing mother's body and heals quickly. In an instant, a large piece of dead muscle tissue fell to the ground, and the fungus blanket on the ground quickly disappeared because of the falling tissue.
The other, a slightly smaller mother, looked at the large mother with concern, and ordered the worker bees to rush up and throw cut crystal ore at the large mother at risk of infection.
Each Mother Worm is a Master of Evolution, which is required by the orders of the Queen of Blades, and these Masters of Evolution can easily manipulate their genes to provide their hive with the direction they like or need. Some were appointed to build a large number of powerful Leviathans in the starry sky, so these mother worms were very good at hatching giant creatures and increasing the hatching of giant creatures. Some were assigned to conquer planets with extreme climates, so their hive forces were modified to be particularly suited to fighting in extreme climates, and they also controlled these genes and essences.
And each insect is hatched later, retaining its absolute loyalty to the alien insects, but also deliberately retaining its own differences. In addition to ensuring the diversity of the nests, this also ensures that different mothers can have different positions, so that the genes fed back by the mothers in various evolutionary directions can cope well with various mutations.
And the mother insect who struggled to save herself in the hive is one of the special ones.
Kashtar is a mother worm who specializes in using swarm viruses to destroy enemies, and every insect unit she hatches carries a deadly virus, and once killed or killed by these insect units, enemies will be infected.
Using a swarm virus to destroy an enemy is a difficult process, and it is much easier to protect against the threat posed by a swarm virus than to evolve enough to destroy the enemy.
As long as even the infected area is cut, or a nano-sized air filter is used, and a nano-sized water source filter is used, then the swarm virus has no effect. And because of this, Kashta, the mother of insects, was excluded from the list of insect mothers because of the proud achievements that they did not come up with.
And now, she has been pitted by the swarm virus she created.
The swarm virus infected almost most of her organs and body tissues, and these brutal and random viruses easily mobilized the nutrients that the mother worm ate to eat, and the tissues that did not obey the mother's own orders grew on her body.
A sharp claw, the claw that grew out of the mother's abdomen, waved wantonly, and since it had just grown, it was not too long, and it couldn't reach anything at all. But soon, in vain, it pulled out a piece of it and swung it at the worker bees who were struggling to treat the mother worm with healing saliva without realizing it. With a single wave, the belly of the worker bee was instantly broken, and then the claws stuck on the carapace of the worker bee.
The blow actually caught itself in it, and the claws were obviously not strong enough or not sharp enough. The polar swarm virus didn't even think about it, but it quickly mutated stronger claws.
Soon, the claw grew thicker and sharper.
The claws that grew out of Kashta's body that did not obey her own orders frantically attacked the creatures around her, and one by one the worker bees were cut off at the waist. Soon, Kashta, the insect mother who was still sane, ordered.
"Mother worm! Chop off this claw! ”
The absolute rank crushing makes the insect mother unable to resist the one in front of her, who is dying, but has a higher social status. So she walked up and with a wave of her claws, the claws that had killed many worker bees fell to the ground.
The mother insect called more worker bees that had been genetically adjusted to go up and treat the mother insect Kashta. And this group of worker bees is clearly distracted - they have thicker carapaces, larger and tougher stomachs, mouthparts that absorb nutrients from the blanket more quickly, and squeezed bags that spray healing saliva faster and better evenly.
The retreating mother squirted a mouthful of disinfectant saliva at the claws that had touched the Kashgar Tower.
Under the highly effective treatment of saliva, the healing effect on the mother Kashtar finally surpassed the damage caused by the runaway swarm virus. It can be seen with the naked eye that the abdomen, carapace, and organs on her body are healing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Far away, the Evolutionary Cavity and the Hatchery have long been overgrown with ugly and efficient underground tentacles or claws under the ravages of the runaway swarm virus, and they are rapidly losing their vitality.
After a long period of pain, the tortured mother finally had more reactions than speaking, and she violently spat out a large yellow spittle, and spit fiercely on the body of a jumping insect in front of her, who was also tortured.
Because it has not deliberately evolved a qualified organ to spray liquid, this lump of saliva is neither uneven nor accurate. However, under the super volatile liquid, the jumping insect suddenly quieted down.
Necrotic tissue is spontaneously shed, and the virus stops infection. Soon, this insect that suffered from such a swarm in front of the runaway swarm virus no longer suffered from the virus. It's just that it takes a little time and effort to restore it to its original form of a jumping worm.
At this time, the original appearance of this jumping insect was almost invisible. The swarm virus randomly mutated into a strange carapace with low defense on him. Moreover, the two spinal needles on the back that evolved in the genes were well used by the swarm virus, and it was randomly induced to grow in all corners of the body of the jumping worm, becoming the ugly and useless appearance of today.
