Devon Star, in the palace of the Shield Dynasty, Vescello and the Infinite Sword Saint walked into the palace of Gavin III with a solemn face.

Some of the information they received from Yuqin made them feel that the situation was serious, so they hurried to the palace.

"What? The giant eggs all hatch on their own, and the swarm grows out of them, and then what infected person can control people's minds? ”

Gavin couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we know very little about the swarm, and we learned from the only eyewitness Yuqin that the dean was controlled after being attacked by the infected, and Yuqin was immune to the control of the swarm because she injected herself with several super antibodies."

"Viscello, do you know what this means?"

Jiawen said expressionlessly.

“…… Yes, only the physique of super soldiers can resist the infected, but our number of super gene warriors is not many, hundreds of millions of civilians in Dexing can be controlled by the swarm, they lurk underground, and they do not have dark energy, if they don't take the initiative to show up, we can't detect the movement of the swarm at all! ”

Viscello clenched his fists and bowed his head.

"In other words, countless people in Dexing may be attacked by the swarm at any time, which seriously threatens the safety of Dexing!"

"Hundreds of people may have been killed right now, you are the general I rely on, I believed that you could protect the Academy of Sciences, but you actually let such a dangerous creature go, Vesero, you disappointed me too much!"

Gavin roared.

Viscello was silent, blaming himself for not stabbing all the infected in time.

But what they don't know is that the mother worm is the most threatening existence in the swarm, even if he kills all the infected and the queen worm, as long as the mother worm survives, she can build a huge nest within a few months.

"Your Majesty, I was also present at the time, and I also have a lot of responsibility for not being able to stop the swarm from escaping, and I can't blame Viscello alone."

At this moment, the Infinite Sword Saint knelt down on one knee, wanting to bear Gavin's wrath with Vescello.

“…… Blame? Is it time to blame? ”

Gavin didn't have a good breath, and he didn't mean to blame Vescello in his own right, because there was something more important now.

"Tell the order, and the whole city will now enter a state of war, mobilize all forces to search for the swarms, and wipe them out before irreparable tragedy occurs! You two also have to participate, and all positions will be abolished, and I will be an ordinary soldier to make meritorious deeds! ”

"Yes!"

Vescello and the Infinite Sword Master took the order and immediately set off for the Dexing Military Control Center to deliver the order.

However, a series of events that followed exceeded their expectations.

Initially, they believed that the swarm was pure creatures that did not have the ability to transform energy, and that it was impossible for them to survive underground for a long time, so it was theoretically impossible for them to leave the city limits, so at first Gawen only ordered a thorough survey of the capital, and dug down as long as there was any loosening of the soil.

But when they turned the whole city upside down, and in the end they found nothing, and nothing strange happened in the neighboring cities recently.

The swarm seemed to disappear all at once.

Obviously, the argument that the swarm cannot survive underground for a long time has been refuted, and even the speculation that the swarm itself is a creature that lives underground has been put forward by Dexing's biological expert group.

It was impossible for Dexing to make a big deal for these hundreds of insects, and he had to plow three feet into the ground, and it was impossible for Jiawen to make such a decision, because he didn't know that the real horror of the insect swarm was their reproduction speed and constant evolution.

The search was fruitless, so Jiawen had no choice but to let Yuqin make a large number of super antibodies, and supply them to countless non-super soldier officials, scientific researchers, and intelligence personnel first, because the production of super antibodies takes a lot of time, and only Yuqin can make them, so even if the materials are sufficient, the output is still not high, and it can only be supplied selectively.

Dexing, after all, still underestimated the swarm.

Of course, it was impossible for the mother worm to climb to the ground stupidly to die, but went deeper than 7,000 meters underground into Dexing and found an underground ore vein, at this time it had one hundred and thirty-seven insect queens and one hundred and fifty infected people as minions.

The mother worm let the queen scatter in all directions, each looking for underground ore veins to build a hive, each with one infected person behind each worm, and thirteen by her side.

It took the mother worm hours to dig out a space the size of a small warehouse and then began to produce worker bees.

While spawning, it absorbs mineral veins.

The biotechnology of insect swarms is very advanced and strange, and they are able to absorb minerals and convert them into organic matter to complete the structure of the hive.

A black-purple viscous organic matter spreads from beneath the mother's body, resembling some indescribable form of biological flesh and blood.

The Fungus Blanket, the base of the Worm Nest, acts like a foundation, and the main Nest can only be built on the Fungus Carpet, and the Swarm gains different levels of buffs when they move on the Fungus Carpet.

For example, healing injuries, increasing movement speed, strengthening insect shells, etc.

The most amazing thing is that the fungus carpet can interfere with detection, and the swarm of insects infiltrating the fungus carpet is difficult for even the Star Spirit's reconnaissance planes to detect, and only an experienced Templar can sense the insect's lurking underground.

Therefore, under the cover of the fungus blanket, it is difficult for Dexing to find the location of the hive.

One by one, worker bees were born, and under the command of the mother worm, they continued to dig around, expanding the space of this small warehouse.

Until it's big enough to hold a hive.

About three days later, the mother worm gave birth to more than 10,000 worker bees in a row, and the underground space was also excavated very huge, about 5,000 meters long and wide, and more than 300 meters high.

It's enough to build a small hive.

The fungus blanket covers all the rock formations, enveloping the vast space.

There was enough space, and at this time, a worker bee began to absorb a large amount of minerals, and in the process of absorption, its body was constantly expanding, and soon exceeded the size of the mother worm.

It has expanded dozens of times, and the worker bees have changed from being three or four meters tall to more than 20 stories tall and more than 200 meters long.

The giant worker bee slowly moved to the center of the blanket and then turned into a cocoon.

A scarlet, highly corrosive liquid is released from the cocoon, which completely dissolves the flesh and blood of the worker bees, and then reorganizes continuously.

In recombination, the genetic sequence of the worker bee is completely reversed, resulting in a building made up of flesh and blood.

A living building.

The hatchery, the most integral part of the main nest of the swarm, is similar in importance to the hub of the astral spirits.

The genes of all worker bees are completely identical, and there is no distinction between male and female, but in the process of cocoon recombination, the gene sequence is completely changed, and female chromosomes are added to the hatchery, which has the function of hatching larvae.
