The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2323, New Generation B.O.W

"I don't care if this thing is defective or not, I only care if it can be used on the battlefield." Ling Liang said coldly, "When will the next batch of 'ant colonies' be ready?"

"You seem to think that this thing can be easily taken out." Alexia Ashford sneered, "Even if it is a defective product, it takes a certain amount of time to hatch before it can be produced. Only when the 'ant colony' evolves into a complete body can they give birth to offspring at the fastest speed."

"Operation Plan Zero cannot fail. The 'ant colony' is an important means for us to quickly capture a planet. We must do everything we can to continue to produce. The next step of the opponent's multi-planet attack will soon require more 'ant colonies'." Ling Liang said.

"Hehehe...are you really so considerate to consider the problem of Fangduo Planet for Severance Tann? She treats you like a dog, but you consider her so much. It's really great." Alexia sneered.

"All my actions are aimed at Operation Plan Zero. As long as it is beneficial to the execution of the plan, I am willing to do anything." Ling Liang said seriously.

"Hehe... whatever you want." Alexia waved her hand, "The next batch of 'ant colonies' will be completed within a week. The number should be 2 million. I hope you can break through the planetary shield of Fangduo before that."

After that, she waved her hand, turned to leave the bridge, and took the shuttle back to her warship.

A black Rookery Hook-class battleship.

Alexia Ashford went straight to a very large laboratory in the center of the battleship. When she opened the hatch, the scene inside the laboratory was almost another world!

On this side of the hatch, there was a laboratory full of technological atmosphere, various state-of-the-art experimental equipment and instruments, a neat environment, and intelligent robots.

On the other side of the hatch, it was humid and stuffy, with piles of mutant substances everywhere, and a large number of ferns growing in the middle. These plants were obviously genetically modified. Not only were they huge, but their branches were also constantly wriggling.

On the ground, countless huge tentacles and cavities grew everywhere, wriggling rhythmically, as if a large amount of nutrients were being infused.

Alexia took off her usual purple dress, revealing her delicate and white body that seemed to have just begun to develop. Then, a pair of cicada wings grew out of thin air from her back, flapping rapidly, carrying her up and flying towards the center.

This laboratory was converted from a huge hangar platform of the Rookery Hook-class battleship. It was once a space for parking the C-9979 landing ship, with a length and width of 500 meters and a height of more than 200 meters. However, this huge hangar platform is now filled with countless mutant substances.

All the way to the bottom of the central hangar platform, only a huge meat cocoon at least 50 meters high was seen standing there, with countless intestinal tubes and cavities connected to the meat cocoon. The cocoon was constantly squirming, and from time to time, it discharged eggs about the size of a palm from the cloaca under its body.

Alexia walked over, picked up an egg and put it under the heat source lamp to check. In this egg that was squirming like a living thing, several small black shadows were vaguely visible and were constantly forming.

She showed a disgusted expression, threw the egg aside, flapped her wings and flew up to the top of the huge cocoon. At this time, she saw her right hand suddenly turned into a sharp thorn, and then stabbed it into the cocoon!     Although there was no vocal organ, the cocoon trembled violently, and it was obvious that this process was very painful. After a long time, the cocoon seemed to be much weaker, and the whole thing became limp. A large amount of pus began to flow out of the cloaca under it, which seemed to be produced after the eggs that had not yet been laid were destroyed and dissolved.

Alexia pulled her right hand out at this time. She also looked a little tired, but her delicate and beautiful face showed a rare expression of relief. "Hehehe... With you, you want to conquer Fangduo Planet, you are just dreaming. This honor can only be accomplished by me! That's right... It's me... The moment you land on Fangduo Planet, the whole planet will become my possession... Hehehe... Right? 'Queen Ant'..."

"Hehehehe... Hahahahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!!"

...

Ling Liang stood in front of the isolation laboratory in the laboratory, looking solemnly at a squirming egg placed inside. This was sent by Alexia Ashford an hour ago. She claimed that this was the adjusted second-generation 'ant colony' with a more powerful mutant form, and most importantly, there would be a certain degree of sociality between these mutants.

Yes, just as the name suggests - ant colony.

"Let's start." Ling Liang waved his hand.

The Umbrella researcher at the side immediately pressed the switch, and saw the palm-sized egg wriggling violently for a while, and then exploded with a snap. More than a dozen flesh balls rolled out from the inside of the egg, and these flesh balls quickly expanded, and they looked like insects as big as a little fingernail!

The insects immediately spread their wings, flew around the culture laboratory, and locked onto several white mice that had been prepared long ago. The insects immediately flew towards the white mice, and their movements were very flexible and agile, and they quickly stung the white mice. The insects' bodies almost shrank immediately, and only an empty shell fell off in a few seconds.

The white mice also began to circle and scream anxiously, and then, after about five minutes, the white mice suddenly mutated violently! Its body began to grow larger and larger, its terrible muscles continued to grow, and sharp barbs pierced out of its body. In less than a minute, the white mouse mutated into a mutant creature the size of a hound!

More than a dozen white mice were all parasitized and injected by those insects, and now they have all become terrible monsters! And although these monsters are all mutated from white mice, they are obviously different.

Some mutant creatures are larger in size, and they have grown a lot of hard chitin exoskeletons on their bodies, which are thick and rough at first glance. Some mutants have a lot of pustules on their bodies, which are full of yellow-green pus. Some mutants have long claws, more developed limbs, and explosive power.

They are also mutations of mice. After completing the mutation, these mutants have a subtle division of "arms"! !

"This is a manifestation of the spontaneous sociality of the new generation of "ant colonies" - division of labor." Umbrella researcher said. (End of this chapter)
