This is Zhang Xiaoman’s first encounter with the Insect Queen of the Insect Race.
Honestly, this thing was originally just an existence in his imagination and theory; today, he has truly seen it with his own eyes.
The Desert Worm’s nature is violent and bloodthirsty, somewhat like that of demon series monsters, although they do exhibit emotions like fear, but it’s not obvious.
Moreover, these creatures are forcibly controlled under the command of the Insect Queen. Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
Even as Xing Han slaughtered so many insects, the remaining ones did not turn and flee.
These creatures behave just like those shown in various sci-fi movies, possessing an endless quantity, uniformly controlled in thought by the Insect Queen, with large bodies, swift movements, and able to survive in space, they are truly a combat race.
And the most crucial part is, they possess adaptive evolution ability.
During combat with enemies, the Desert Worm’s genes will record these data.
When a new generation of insects hatch, they will improve upon their previous weaknesses, evolving stronger organs to combat their foes.
This auto-adaptive evolutionary special ability truly elevates this species to cosmic level civilization strength.
It is believed that such a race is absolutely something other civilizations would most wish to avoid.
If left to develop, the destruction they could bring would be no less than that of the Calamity Species over on Guleng Star.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the giant Long Spear outside and fell into contemplation.
This incident came very suddenly.
Although the insect swarm on the Moon frequently harasses the base, judging by their displayed scale, they are unlikely to reach the current level.
Unless these creatures have been hiding their strength all along.
By concealing most of their power and continuously using the strategy of showing weakness to deceive them, to complete a full-scale assault today.
But truthfully, this possibility is not high.
Given the feature that the Insect Queen can provide Contribution Value, Zhang Xiaoman is more inclined to believe the Queen actually arrived later.
The insect swarm found a leader, hence it could rapidly expand and reproduce, and then launch a surprise attack today.
This proves how vast the strength gap is between a swarm with an Insect Queen and one without.
Previously, Zhang Xiaoman was unable to physically travel to space control, so he had no solution for the insects on the Moon.
But now it’s different; not only did he bring back the Corona Combat Suit from Guleng Star, enabling him to venture into space wearing it.
Additionally, he now possesses a trump card like Holy Light Dragon Rider; he doesn’t even need to go on the field, just letting Xing Han take a lap can clear out those creatures.
Therefore, to eliminate the hidden threat on the Moon, he plans to have them patrol this planet, dealing with all discovered insects.
Xing Han carried out the order, while Zhang Xiaoman remained in place, using visual sharing ability to observe the outside situation.
Wu Feng reorganized the evacuated scientists, bringing them back to their original workstations.
Tang Xueke and others also rushed urgently from Water Blue Star, responsible for repairing some houses damaged in the earthquake.
Time flew quickly as Xing Han, patrolling outside, successively discovered several insect race nests, destroyed them with thunderbolt means, and extinguished all eggs inside.
However, although she can fly fast and has her unique sensory ability.
On such a planet, searching for insects is akin to searching for needles in the ocean, so there is a possibility of some slipping through the net.
Zhang Xiaoman counted the numbers she harvested, and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
The number of discovered insect race outposts alone amounted to more than ten, not just on the far side of the Moon, even traces appeared on the near side.
This discovery gave him a bit of a headache.
Appearing on the Moon’s near side means the presence of Desert Worms will be completely exposed to the world.
It’s known that not only official forces from various countries can own telescopes.
Many ordinary amateur astronomers also keep these tools in their homes.
Once insects crawl to the Moon’s near side, the consequences would be obvious.
Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman currently lacks a good solution, only able to have Xing Han clean these creatures regularly, trying to minimize their expansion range.
Arranging things here, he plans to return first to the main base of the Star Alliance.
Earlier, Xing Han collected many insect corpses, many of which are new species never encountered before.
Following the usual practice, he needs to transport these corpses back to Water Blue Star, hand them over to the big shots in the research department for thorough analysis of these insect characteristics.
After all, knowing oneself and the enemy assures victory in battles.
Before leaving, Xing Han originally intended to eliminate the Long Spear outside, but Zhang Xiaoman chose to leave it there.
Strangely enough, this thing appears to be gathered from light, yet upon landing and completing its attack, it seemed to transform materials, becoming tangible.
Now this hundred-meter-long spear piercing the outside of the Star Alliance Base, is incredibly gigantic.
Even scientists far in the center of the base can clearly see its form.
Zhang Xiaoman intends to keep it for now, since it’s already useless to Xing Han, leaving it here as an ornamental memorial isn’t bad either.
