Chapter 31

Therefore, Ling Yichen set his sights on the 50 spare larvae. He kept these larvaes as backup so that he could produce insects faster in the future.
Currently, the Insect Race Mother Nest was only at Level-1. The number of insects he could produce was very limited. He still needed to wait until the Genetic Museum was out before he could unlock more Insect Race military units and mass produce them.
Initially, there were very few Insect Race military units. They were all weak insects whose initial level was at Mortal Body Rank-1. They could only increase their levels through their own efforts.
Even the edible insects had to be unlocked in the Genetic Museum before they could be produced. Ling Yichen had also learned about the edible insects from the Beginner’s Handbook.
However, it was relatively easy to unlock the edible insects. Basically, as long as the Genetic Museum was built, it would be unlocked very quickly.
Currently, Ling Yichen could produce a total of five types of insects. They were the Worker Bees, the Golden-Backed Saber Mantises, the Black Iron Armors, the Sawtooth Ants, and the Single-Tailed Scorpions.
After a round of selection, Ling Yichen decided to produce the Sawtooth Ants.
Among the five types of insects, only the Sawtooth Ants and the Single-Tailed Scorpions did not have the ability to fly. This was also the reason why Ling Yichen had not produced them before.
The Sawtooth Ants were actually very powerful. The force of their bites was very strong, and their strength attribute was very high. However, they were slightly weaker in defense attributes. If they approached their target, crawled on their bodies, and bit them, it would be very dangerous.
However, the Sawtooth Ants were too small, and they did not have the ability to fly. They were not like assassins like the Hidden Shadow Spider either. Unless the group of Sawtooth Ants was larger, it would be difficult for them to have any obvious effect on the battlefield.
If it was on a large scale, then small insects like the Sawtooth Ants would be very terrifying.
This was the principle of how ants could bite an elephant to death. Even if a single Sawtooth Ant was indeed very weak and might be destroyed by the enemy before it could even get close to the enemy, if it was on a large scale, even if it was very weak, it could still exhaust the enemy to death.
Moreover, because the Sawtooth Ants were very small, if they found a loophole and entered the body from the surface, it would be difficult for the unlucky enemy to not die.
[Military Unit]: Sawtooth Ant
[Level]: Mortal Body Rank-1
[Attribute]: None
[Skills]: Steel Tooth
[Characteristics]: Army, Armor Penetration
[Evaluation]: The damage it can cause is very strong, but it is abnormally brittle. It is suitable for group attacks.
[Consumption]: One larva, 10 to 100 units of organic matter (1 to 10 Sawtooth Ants)
This was a simple introduction on the Sawtooth Ants. They were army-type insect units and were easily consumed on the battlefield.
To put it cruelly, they were just tools, the kind of cannon fodder that would exhaust the enemy to death.
As for the “10-100” and “1-10” in the [Consumption] column, it was an explanation of the trapezoidal increase in production quantity according to the amount of organic matter consumed.
For example, if he wanted to produce one Sawtooth Ant, he would need a larva and 10 units of organic matter. If he wanted to create 10 Sawtooth Ants, he would have to consume 100 units of organic matter, which was ten times more than the former case, but he still only needed one larva.
No matter how many Sawtooth Ants he produced, one larva was a necessity. The exact number depended on how much organic matter he used up.
Ling Yichen thought about it and decided to produce ten first.
“Consume 1 larva and 100 units of organic matter to produce ten Sawtooth Ants.”
A larva that was still wriggling near the Incubation Yard suddenly began to split its body into ten parts. At the same time, it was constantly shrinking, outlining the size of a Sawtooth Ant.
Soon, ten Sawtooth Ants appeared in Ling Yichen’s line of sight.
Each Sawtooth Ant was very small, many times smaller than the Hidden Shadow Spider, which was at least the size of an adult male’s palm. However, the Sawtooth Ants were only the size of the first joint of the index finger.
However, compared to ordinary ants, the Sawtooth Ants could be considered giants with their size.
Ling Yichen commanded the 10 Sawtooth Ants to crawl at their fastest speed. He realized that they were indeed very slow. Ordinary adult males could shake them off when they ran. After all, the Sawtooth Ants were only so big.
Slowly, the Sawtooth Ants crawled to Li Jia’an’s feet. At this moment, the Worker Bees were carrying out their after-meal activities. Li Jia An’s sobs were often heard around them. This was the sound of wanting to laugh but having his mouth blocked by stinky socks.
The Worker Bees stopped what they were doing. Only then did Li Jia’an relax.
However, before Li Jia’an could relax and rest, he felt an even more terrifying itch under his feet!
It felt as if ants were crawling around his feet. It was even more terrifying than these monsters who were touching his feet with feathers!
Li Jia’an had no idea that there were indeed ants crawling on his feet.
After that, Ling Yichen asked the Sawtooth Ants to test how strong their jaws were. They could even bite through the metal shelves easily!
This was not bad. However, he didn’t know the limit of the Sawtooth Ant’s bite. At the moment, he didn’t have anything to test their strength on. He could only wait until later.
No, there was one.
Ling Yichen summoned a Black Iron Armor and let the Sawtooth Ants try to bite the edge of the Black Iron Armor.
The result was shocking. The Sawtooth Ants successfully bit off a small piece from the edge of the Black Iron Armor, revealing the hidden flesh inside.
Through this series of tests, the bite force of these Sawtooth Ants was indeed astonishing. If one was entangled by them, it would indeed be quite dangerous.
Ling Yichen transferred some organic matter to repair the Black Iron Armor’s injury and let it go out to continue fighting. There were still 10 Sawtooth Ants on the Black Iron Armor.
This strategy was quite suitable. The Black Iron Armor that could fly would carry the Sawtooth Ants, who would wait for the right time to jump off the Black Iron Armor and land on the enemy’s body.
For the rest of the time, Ling Yichen cultivated at home, preparing to cultivate until he broke through to Mortal Body Rank-3.
…
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, noon had passed.
Compared to Ling Yichen’s current leisure, the others had worried expressions, just like someone they had met before.
The man in the suit who had formed the Home-Owner Self-Defense Force looked out the window at the empty neighborhood and felt an indescribable sense of danger.
He was highly educated and was also a manager in his company. He knew that at such a time, reputation and status in a group organization were exceptionally important. Hence, he wanted to form a self-defense force to recruit Ling Yichen and the others so that he could become an Awakened one. In the end, one of them was killed by the other party.
Right now, the group chat of the Home-Owner Self-Defense Force was denouncing Ling Yichen. They were all saying that when the country controlled the disaster this time, they would jointly report him. Then, they would get the police to arrest him and lock him up for the rest of his life!
However, in fact, the man in the suit believed that the civil order of society had completely collapsed after understanding the recent situation on the Internet!
