221: Chapter 227 Crisis, the Infinitely Evolving Swarm of Insects!

Finally, some news?

Su Yang's thoughts flickered, and his perspective instantly switched to the northernmost part of the Insect Hive Forest.

After being resupplied by the wolf smoke, Ranger Squad 1 traveled all the way to the northernmost part of the Heart of the Hive.

A small stream appeared before Su Yang, and beyond that lay the landing site of Poland—the Wild Forest.

"Your Majesty, look."

The captain of Ranger Squad 1 lowered his body and zoomed in the perspective; only then did Su Yang notice a large number of Tyranid footprints on the ground!

It seems the Tyranid Swarm has already reached the northernmost part of the Insect Hive.

No!

Following the captain's perspective, Su Yang discovered that those footprints extended all the way to the ground of the Wild Forest on the other side.

The Insect Swarm has crossed the border and entered the Wild Forest!

Su Yang's brows twitched.

Those geniuses actually broke through the boundary and let the Insect Swarm slip away!!

Could that Poland leader have been blitzed by the Tyranid Swarm?

The captain of Ranger Squad 1 continued to move, allowing Su Yang to observe more of the area.

Soon, he discovered that in this area, there were not only the footprints of the Insect Swarm but also numerous traces left by humans and vehicles!

Did these people engage in battle with the Insect Swarm?

With confusion, Su Yang soon discovered traces left by explosions and fires.

These people really did clash with the Insect Swarm!

"A human unit was wiped out here," the captain of Ranger Squad 1 said.

Yes, that was obvious; thoughts flashed through Su Yang's mind.

There was a group of people, most likely the army of Poland, who clashed with the Insect Swarm and were completely annihilated.

It was easy to tell from the signs, and it could be confirmed as a fact.

But why did he feel that something was strange?

Where were the bodies?

A thought flashed through Su Yang's mind.

This army had been wiped out, yet they left behind no corpses or vehicle wreckage!

"Were any corpses found in the vicinity? Or any wreckage of vehicles or firearms?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, no." The captain of Ranger Squad 1 answered quickly; it seemed he had already discovered the problem.

It was easy to understand why there were no bodies; the Insect Swarm was not vegetarian.

But how could those vehicles, or the guns and ammunition scattered during the battle, not leave a single trace?

Were they refreshed by the Forbidden Ground?

He had never heard of that; if the Forbidden Ground had such a function, he wouldn't need to clean up the battlefield himself every time.

The human unit was not completely wiped out and successfully retreated.

That was also impossible; looking at the traces at the scene, a fierce battle had occurred, and even if they had retreated, it couldn't explain the phenomenon of leaving no traces behind.

Subsequent troops returned to the battlefield and scavenged the spoils.

This also failed to explain why there were hardly any shell casings left on the ground.

Excluding all other conjectures, the last remaining one, even if impossible, was highly likely to be the truth.

The Tyranid Swarm that won this battle had scavenged everything that could be utilized.

Thinking of this, the Crystal-Mining Tyranids that devoured anatase and the Nature Race Tyranids that lived in symbiosis with plants flashed through Su Yang's mind.

These creatures were clearly capable of utilizing everything around them to their maximum potential to improve themselves.

Furthermore, even Great Qin could synthesize symbiotic weapons capable of firing venomous stingers using drops from the Xenomorphs.

Then the Tyranid Swarm could certainly do the reverse and obtain symbiotic weapons through the Fusion of human weaponry.

If this conjecture held true, it meant the Insect Swarm had scavenged all the weapons of the human unit to upgrade themselves!

This was bad; the image of a group of Stinger Bugs charging with AK47s flashed through Su Yang's mind.

Moreover, the Insect Swarm was not just consuming human weapons; the Xenomorphs, minerals, and natural environments of other regions along the way would all become the soil for their evolution!

Su Yang's eyes trembled; if the Insect Swarm were allowed to continue like this, perhaps he wouldn't be the one to conquer the Forbidden Ground first!

These guys had released the true demons!

After discovering that the boundary between the Heart of the Hive and the Wild Forest had been opened, the findings of the Ranger Troops along the way could finally be explained.

First, the number of the Insect Swarm in the southern part of the Heart of the Hive had significantly decreased; even at the current threat Rank, the Ranger Troops had not farmed many command points.

Secondly, there were the carcasses of dead brood mothers and the vanished Insect Swarm discovered along the way.

Just like how human leaders could leave with their Main Base, Su Yang suspected that these brood mothers had transferred their consciousness through some means and then migrated north with the Insect Swarm.

These Insect Swarms knew that Great Qin was not easy to deal with, so they were collectively migrating outside the Heart of the Hive.

Upon learning this news, Su Yang immediately opened the panel and, taking advantage of the final moments of the leader exchange, posted a message in the hall.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: The Tyranid Swarm has entered the Wild Forest from the Heart of the Hive; if you do not want to be wiped out like Poland, absolutely do not provoke them.]

[Do not connect the Wild Forest to other regions again; the Insect Swarm will flood into any connected area and destroy everything.]

[Argentine Lord: Are you joking? At this stage, are we still afraid of the Xenomorphs?]

[Lord of Japan: Can the Dragon Kingdom not even stop the Xenomorphs in its own region?]

[Lord of Ukraine: Hmph, put away your clumsy acting; I have seen through it all.]
