The Beginning of the Base

These Flying Bug insects have dark red shells, and they have all been given biological genes from the Deep Sea Volcanic Ecosystem, making them highly resistant to heat.

Although their outer shells provide excellent camouflage, Optical Stealth System are standard equipment for them as reconnaissance units. Therefore, as they fly, they blend into their surroundings and disappear without a trace.

They are larger than ordinary template insects, reaching more than 20 centimeters in length. Their increased size allows them to be equipped with more reconnaissance modules; they have four pairs of eyes around their heads, totaling eight eyes.

Each pair has different capabilities: high-resolution close-range field of view, long-range ultra-wide-angle imaging, thermal imaging, and various deflection light readouts, allowing them to receive almost all visual information.

Each Flying Bug also has two pairs of cochleas: one pair to receive information from the normal sound spectrum, and the other pair to receive the sound fed back after the ultrasonic waves emitted by the vibration of the wings collide with an object.

Given that their working environment is unknown, their circulatory system is also closed, with a micro- Ecological Circulation System inside their bodies to provide them with energy.

The Anti-Gravity Pyramid Nanostructure beneath the wing membrane allows them to fly with less effort.

Their only weakness is their vulnerability to strong winds. Their size, weight, and wing structure make them not very resistant to strong winds. Fortunately, the interior of the Big Origin Star is relatively peaceful, with winds only around level 3-5.

These reconnaissance Flying Bug circled the area and quickly fed back a 3D structural map of the surroundings. Native creatures hiding in the corners and edges were also exposed by the Echolocation System.

A large number of Intellect specializing in the structure of biological limbs began to use this data to study the characteristics of surrounding organisms. These primitive creatures, which had not been artificially sculpted, could easily be identified by their appearance, including their diet, aggressiveness, and preferred attack methods.

For example, those large monkeys, although their arms were long and thin, had prominent muscles, clearly indicating their considerable strength. Furthermore, the areas where the muscles were concentrated suggest that they used them frequently, and their joint structure indicates that they were adept at attacking with sweeping, throwing, and other similar techniques.

Their claws are relatively long with flexible joints, and their arm structure indicates that they are good at climbing. However, their hind limbs are strong, they are used to squatting, and their spinal structure suggests that they are not good at running.

Therefore, we can conclude that their preferred territory is the high-altitude area near the branches, and they will most likely choose to build their nests there as well.

Their canines are degenerate, while their incisors are well-developed, resembling guillotines, capable of slicing through extremely tough vegetation. Their molars are also highly developed, used for grinding food. This dental structure is a clear characteristic of omnivorous organisms, suggesting that these large monkeys not only eat Creep but also readily consume meat.

In addition to other physical characteristics and lifestyle traits, it can be determined that this creature is highly aggressive and will actively attack other creatures.

Of course, many of these clues can be gleaned from the previous attacks on the Creep by the large monkeys. However, the jungle is not only home to large monkeys. Through systematic analysis, the Intellect will determine which creatures pose a threat to the base's development and will target and eliminate them in the coming period.

After a thorough investigation and analysis, it was discovered that the group of large monkeys was the species that posed the greatest threat to the base's current development. Although they were not the most aggressive or the largest, they were still quite far from the Creep and were unlikely to make contact with the base anytime soon.

The biggest power near the base is this group of large monkeys. Given their gregarious nature and volatile temperament, as well as the enmity between the two sides, it's destined that neither side will let this go easily.

And that was indeed the case. Although the large monkeys cleaned up the surface part of the Creep, they were still relentless, coming to inspect it every few days, which made Sarah was constantly monitoring it, grit her teeth in frustration.

Fortunately, after more than ten days, the Insect Empress grew to a size of five meters, and the first batch of Spider War-Bug had hatched.

These heat-resistant red spiders, measuring 30-50 cm in length, possess a variety of toxins, flexible eight-segmented limbs, and combined with their hair-adhesive, hooked claws and impressive jumping ability, along with dynamic vision and Optical Camouflage, make them ideal for combat in the complex, three-dimensional environment of the jungle.

And indeed, within just a few days, the large monkey population of over a hundred was almost entirely wiped out. Although their bodies were covered in short fur, it was utterly ineffective against the sharp, venomous barbs.

Moreover, their singular visual targeting mode is completely countered by Optical Stealth System. Although they are faster than the Spider War-Bug due to their size advantage, the Swarm also possesses Echolocation System based on echolocation. Unless they run a hundred miles in one go, they simply cannot escape this level of coordinated assassination.

The air-ground coordinated and special operations combat mode was being shown to alien creatures for the first time. These creatures, which could only fight on instinct, were no match for this systematic combat system.

As the Insect Empress continues to develop, the base expands, and the number of combat units continues to increase, the Swarm's territory begins to expand rapidly.

The latest version of the Swarm units possesses the ability to directly absorb radiation energy to power their own life support systems. They are mostly semi-biological, semi-plant structures, and because they can directly absorb radiation, most of them lack even feeding and digestive organs.

In contrast, the Ecological Circulation System within the older versions of the insects requires a series of complex energy conversions, resulting in a low energy conversion rate.

However, even the older versions of these insects possess the ability to survive in space. Their internal life support systems only require them to bask in the sun and drink some water to sustain their activities for a long time.

Thanks to this, the number of insects responsible for logistics in the Swarm has been greatly reduced, and the task of resource collection has been mostly handed over to Creep. The only auxiliary units are a few Worker Bee responsible for sanitation and cleaning, and Excavator Ant that expand the base.

Back when we played in the mud with ants, there were millions of them on the march, with perhaps three or four hundred million insects handling logistics. Recalling those days, our Overlord was filled with a sense of melancholy.

Spider War-Bug were a main combat unit carefully developed by Rowan during the dinosaur era, and their combat capabilities have been tested in actual combat. Although their direct combat ability is relatively weak, this is not a contest, so naturally, they will use any underhanded tactics they can think of.

Aggressive carnivorous and omnivorous species tend to allocate most of their skill points to attack, resulting in relatively poor defense.

They were completely powerless against the assassins lurking in the shadows.
