As the Alien Insect Gene Analysis Project progressed, puppets raced through a semisecret base west of Broad Cloud Peak, deep in vast mountains rich in vegetation and spiritual essence. All manner of engineering machinery and ore-hauling carts bustled like ants.
Ever since Li Chen had accepted the Creation Sect's gift and been granted an Immortal Mountain Branch, Broad Cloud Peak's grade had risen dramatically. It was now gradually developing into a true middle-grade blessed land.
Li Chen took this opportunity to prepare for the wars he might face in the future, digging deep tunnels and stockpiling provisions everywhere as he readied war outposts that could serve as fortresses.
This rather busy site was a new base he had recently established to conceal his new insect race.
At that moment, beyond the busy worker bee puppets, some uniquely shaped low-tier alien insects were also hatching.
Each of these low-tier alien insects resembled a hunting insect or a Flying Ya, but they were unquestionably more evolved than their predecessors. They were peculiar creations that had undergone repeated optimization, existing somewhere between natural life and artificial life.
Serving as an Insect Master consultant, Lu Chen followed close behind Li Chen's Mechanized Flying Chair as they toured this insect race base.
They had measured the mountain base, spanning several thousand zhang, with their own footsteps and already learned that, within the thick mountain walls, these alien insects had begun reproducing and expanding according to their earlier instructions, constantly producing more subbody populations and more guards.
A special offspring of a Subbody Mother Empress lay hidden deep inside the mountain, sustained by the insect swarm and charged with the vital mission of propagating its population.
This was a special alien insect capable of continued reproduction. Just as Li Chen had previously classified perfect simulated insect
