586  Chapter 580: Gradual Evolution

However, whether she's naughty or not, Finn Lewis has no idea. Originally, he wanted to give Robert Green face and attend the 110th anniversary celebration at University F. However, the timing was just too perfect. Olivia Thatcher had already informed him that Keller had made all the preparations, all the forces have been amassed, and what's left was full-scale invasion. Naturally, Keller hadn't stopped the development of the Insect Species, and was still fully expanding the Insect Species, but the increase now was not in their numbers anymore, but in their technology.

Don't think the Insect Species are just a bunch of insects with no technological system. It's not like that. Their main nest may be the most basic unit, but the main nest stores more genetic imprints, storing all genetic imprints of the Insect Species, and then converting all the different minerals that the worker bees have gathered into energy essential for the Insect Species, and then concentrating this energy. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But, if you want to produce higher-ranking Insect Species, they need various kinds of main nests, just like humans need tank factories to produce tanks and docks to produce ships, the incubation of high-ranking Insect Species needs a relevant special kind of main nest to develop and produce. So, right now, Keller is storing energy and minerals, hatching these high-ranking main nests first, and then continue to store energy.

Once need arises, the Insect Species can mass hatch large volumes of high-ranking Insect Species directly, and straightaway flood their enemies with a sea of insects.

Therefore, Finn Lewis was unable to attend this anniversary celebration. But if he doesn't attend, then he doesn't attend. Finn Lewis didn't want to go anyway. If he had, he can only imagine how much the media would harass him. He doesn't even dare to appear in front of major media outlets now for fear of how many media personnel would be following him each day. The property management company at the area he lived in has quietly been swapped out already.

And Finn Lewis is very clear what background this property management company has. The property management company, fuck, it might be more accurate to say it's more like a small special forces team. All personnel inside are special agents and people who were dispatched in cooperation with the military. The owners inside the community were somewhat dumbfounded because they've all noticed recently that the security conditions in their community had improved multiple times compared to before.

Of course, they were relieved at these security conditions, but they all know why just a bit because Finn Lewis lives in this community. The topic of who Finn Lewis is, let's not ask that. There probably isn't anyone who doesn't know who Finn Lewis is in the entire country now. Even in very remote places, people know who Finn Lewis is. Because of all the things that Finn Lewis has done, it would be tough even if you tried to ignore it. Any one of those things could have easily made anyone famous in the world, and yet, he's done them all.

However, the owners in this community are all very smart, no one goes to disturb Finn Lewis. Even if they wanted to disturb him, they wouldn't be able to anyway. His bodyguards are guarding under those two buildings, and even the elevators are separated. It would be hard to get in. However, Finn Lewis living here does have a benefit. Their house prices have drastically increased. Many people want to buy houses here, but they can't. People here aren't stupid, the house prices here are a thousand yuan per square meter higher than the community less than 200 meters away. Why?

Finn Lewis came secretly once again to this underground space. However, this time right as he arrived here, Finn Lewis was already thoroughly shocked. The entire cave had been hollowed out. The entire underground space seemed to have become another world. Looking up, this area that was completely hollow probably has at least tens of thousands of square kilometers. The upper and lower spaces have at least close to a hundred meter's height, and the distance from here to the surface was around 1500 meters.

Within this vast space, Finn Lewis didn't know how it was assured that it won't collapse. But looking at each main nest that had nearly propped up the topsoil, and the other buildings, it should play a big role. Inside this entire space was completely different from when Finn Lewis came last time. Inside here were at least tens of thousands of Insect Species units, but none of the higher-ranking Insect Species units that he caught a quick glimpse of from his glance inside the sixth dimension. All were lower-ranking-species units.

For example, the lowest-ranking Swift Beast that was about the size of a wolf dog. Then there are the parasites that Finn Lewis came across the most. But Finn Lewis just found out that parasites don't exist on their own but are hatched from a type of Insect Species unit called infection bugs. Each infection bug can hatch tens of thousands of parasites, and these parasites can interact with each other and hatch.

Then there's the jet bug that's just like a cockroach. Its size is just about half of that of an ordinary horse, but it can spit out a form of acid that has a very strong radioactivity from its mouth. Furthermore, this cockroach insect can travel underground, and also very quickly. Another thing about the cockroach insect is that within the acid it spits, there are countless low-ranking insect eggs. These insect eggs can directly parasitize within the units that were killed by the cockroach insect, and quickly parasitize off of the corpse. In an extremely short period of time within just a few minutes it can hatch directly, and then because only able to live for an hour or so. But when it's about to die, it can blow itself up and spray the acidic liquid contained within its body to cover a range of one or two square meters.

Just these few types alone numbered at least in tens of thousands. But these Insect Species units are not the same as ordinary animals. Taking the Swift Beast as an example, although it's only as large as an ordinary wolf dog, its speed can almost catch up to a cheetah's speed, and its jumping ability is astonishingly strong, even able to jump up cliffs tens of meters high. Although it can only jump once within a certain period of time, this is enough. This greatly enhances its flexibility.

Moreover, its skin's hardness is even comparable to steel. Ordinary handgun bullets couldn't pierce through it at all. Although rifle bullets could, they could only just pierce. Unless multiple tens of bullets were shot, it would be very difficult to kill it. Even with a large caliber machine gun, it would still be very difficult to tear it apart and kill it. And disregarding this, this thing is actually the most common consumption unit of the Icarus Insect Species. Its intelligence quotient is even lower than that of a worker bee.

Just inside this space now, just by looking with his naked eye, he saw so many that it was just like locusts, giving Finn Lewis goosebumps. No wonder Zero had solemnly warned Finn Lewis several times. Indeed, if these things were to multiply, it would simply be a killer*.
