Chapter 104: The Long-faced Beast
The novelty of having wings soon wore off, and Luo Wen’s initial excitement cooled as rationality reclaimed its position.
His plans for soaring the skies were temporarily shelved. The top priority now was nurturing the Brood Nest and rebuilding the structure of the Swarm.
Over the next few days, nothing noteworthy occurred except for the daily loss of varying numbers of Ultra Giant Soldier Ants from the Big-headed Ants.
The underground temporary base was completed yesterday. In addition to personal chambers for Luo Wen and the Brood Nest, it also included facilities like a hatchery and storage rooms, along with as many as five escape tunnels.
After several days of recovery, the Brood Nest had also largely regained its functionality.
Luo Wen immediately issued a production order for the first batch: fifty fully grown Worker Ants.
This method of production consumed a tremendous amount of energy. Fortunately, Worker Ants were relatively small compared to the current size of the Brood Nest, so there was no repeat of the situation from before when the Queen Ant produced Big Black and became debilitated for over a week.
Within half a day, fifty Worker Ants were ready.
Next, Luo Wen issued a daily order for ten thousand eggs, which would eventually hatch into Worker Ants, Burrower Ants, and Spy Bugs.
