Chapter 119: Storage Solutions (2)
Furthermore, this method also emitted odors. Back then, every time Luo Wen held a “private feast,” he would use the “Gatling Gun” to “sanitize” the surrounding area.
Most critically, only Luo Wen currently possessed the ability to produce compressed digestive enzyme toxins within the swarm. The older version of Transport Bugs once had this capability, but after being upgraded into Modified Spider Combat Bugs, their venom was replaced with neurotoxins.
Luo Wen’s toxin gland was small, with limited reserves, making it impossible for him to take on this task, even if he did nothing else.
But thinking about digestive fluids opened Luo Wen’s mind to new possibilities. He recalled encountering carnivorous plants before.
What if he could create a plant capable of quickly digesting prey while also being edible for the swarm? Such a solution would instantly resolve the problem.
With this idea in mind, Luo Wen immediately set to work. Although he had a concept, extensive experimentation was necessary to make it a reality.
Luo Wen had no prior experience manipulating plant genetics, so everything had to be explored from scratch. He began by combining the traits of several carnivorous plants to create prototypes, which he then instructed the Brood Nest to produce.
The Brood Nest, powerful as always, generated seeds that even came with their own nutrient packs, sufficient to support the seeds during their initial growth phase.
Finding a small patch of land near the base, Luo Wen planted the seeds. He had no idea how long they would take to sprout and could only wait patiently.
