After warning the first mimic bug to pay attention to Masuk, Johnny left here and connected with the second mimic bug.

The second mimic insect is nothing special. He is peacefully working on the underground organization, but the picture is very strange.

This is a civilization of humanoid intelligent creatures. In a bustling commercial square, everyone from the roof of the office building to the square stood in a neat square formation.

Under the leadership of the CEO Mimic Bug, they excitedly roared out strange sounds, "Workers have the soul of work, and workers are all superior to others! Working hard for the company means working hard for yourself, come on! Come on! Come on! Go forward!"

These fanatical people not only shouted with passion, but also started to dance strangely. Johnny watched in surprise for more than ten minutes. After the crowd dispersed and started working, he contacted the president of the luxurious office at the top of the office building.

There is no such thing as chicken soup for the soul, there is no such thing as a hot-blooded CEO, it's all mimics controlling everything in the office...

"Brother! I found that people in this civilization are particularly easy to fool. I quickly established an underground business organization here using the knowledge Overmind burned during incubation.

They are so stupid. I haven't infected many people and created a huge pie for them, but they spontaneously worked for me for free. Now my business empire has already occupied a decisive position in the entire country."

"Now I don't take the initiative to infect people. Only those outstanding employees with particularly good performance will be infected by me and make them smarter and stronger."

"As time went by, my company became more and more famous. Not only the bosses of other companies were willing to work for me, but many government dignitaries were also queuing up to enter my office. This infiltration work was too easy."

Mimic Bug No. 2 proudly posted about his achievements and the company's development status. After Johnny read it seriously, he sighed. This Mimic Bug is also a talent. It seems that there is nothing that needs his guidance. The fall of this civilization is only a matter of time.

When he contacted the third mimic bug, Johnny thought he was mentally prepared, but the scene he saw still shocked him.

This is a luxurious swimming pool, located on a space yacht. There are dozens of beauties in the swimming pool, from many races, some with wings, some with tails, some furry, and some hairless.

There is a transparent energy barrier above the swimming pool. The boundless Milky Way and starry sky are just outside the thin energy barrier. The light cast by the stars adds a layer of mysterious beauty to the scenery in the swimming pool.

These exotic beauties are having fun in the swimming pool, and at the same time they are pleasing the owner of the yacht beside the swimming pool. The mimic is not the owner of the yacht, but one of the beauties.

The owners of the yacht are also familiar characters to us, two Sedarri speculators-Joy and Terrell.

Tabi Star and his party made the two of them rich. Once you have money, you will naturally want to enjoy life. It would be a pity not to enjoy it in the Tianping Star Territory, which has many civilizations and a vast area.

They bought the space yacht. It is a beautiful thing to have their own private yacht to travel among the stars and enjoy delicious food and beautiful women. And because of the war, more and more people are living in distress. Joey and Terrell can get a large number of servants and beautiful women to serve them without spending much money.

After all, the cost of feeding so many people is not a small amount. Anyway, Johnny gave them enough money to let them spend it. Johnny gave them so much money with the original purpose of using them to spread the mimic insects.

The flattering expression of the mermaid lying on Joey suddenly changed, and then she suddenly left Joey and jumped into the swimming pool.

Joey thought it was because she had been out of the water for too long, so he didn't take it seriously. He waved and put another humanoid beauty into his arms and didn't care anymore.

Underwater, the mermaid, who is essentially a mimic insect, contacts Johnny.

"Can you tell me what you are doing?!" From a distance as light years away, the mermaid could clearly hear Johnny's anger.

"I... I, brother, please listen to my explanation. I am the first mimic insect to hatch. These two foxes are completely unreliable. Even if they have spiritual hints, they often forget to lay down mimic insect eggs in some civilized capitals because of their enjoyment."

"If I weren't by their side to monitor them, they might not even be able to get off the spacecraft and become completely useless. Moreover, I have long-term plans for doing this..." In order not to be misunderstood by Johnny, Mimic Bug No. 3 began to explain seriously.

"By following them, I can move faster between civilizations in the Balance Star Territory. When the time is right, I can use mimic insects to replace the species they recruited. This body of mine is such a carrier."

"Reproduction is the instinct of life, and beautiful females will naturally be sought after. Such carriers are easier to get close to the dignitaries in civilization and can more easily penetrate to higher levels."

Due to the distance, Johnny couldn't contact other Mimic Bugs, but their information was passed on by Mimic Bug No. 3.

The intelligence shows that the latent mimic insects arranged by Mimic Bug No. 3 are making very good progress, and a dark sect that secretly controls major civilizations has slowly been formed.

In Johnny's most optimistic prediction, the penetration situation would not be so good.

Originally, he had made bad mental preparations, for example, some mimic insects accidentally exposed themselves and were wanted by the entire civilization, and conveyed the news that Swarm was infiltrating to the entire Stellaris Council.

There is precedent for this situation. After a civilization reaches the level of interstellar civilization, because the government is more organized and the technology is more efficient and powerful, it has strong internal control.

The destruction and infiltration of civilization by mimic bugs cannot always escape the eyes of surveillance. Maybe a genetic test or comprehensive scan will expose it.

But this time, he didn't know whether it was luck, or whether the civilizations in the Tianping Star Territory were all bad, and the mimic insects infiltrated smoothly. It seemed that there was no need for Swarm's army to invade the territory, as many civilizations had already been captured by Swarm.

Taking a deep breath, Johnny slowly said to Mimic Insect No. 3: "I finally gave in. Nominally, among the dozen of you, I am the boss, because I am the only one who passed the Mimic Insect test."

"But, you, you, all of you have unique skills and means. Okay, I won't interfere too much. You have enough knowledge in your mind to complete the infiltration mission."

"I just want to remind you that Overmind attaches great importance to the infiltration mission of the Tianping Star Territory. If any of you has a problem, I will be the first to kick him into Digestive Cavity."

After saying that, Johnny turned off the communication angrily.
