The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 201 - 114 Battle Report and Doubts

"This growth rate is somewhat terrifying..."

The next day, close to the activation of investment privileges, Bai Yi put down the upgrades and transformations on the Insect Swarm and returned to his warm tree hollow.

While enjoying delicious sacrifices, he started to review the battle reports from Bai Fa and the others, as a form of leisure during the meal.

Although only a day had passed within the territory, according to the flow of time, a week had already passed inside the instance.

According to the battle reports, by the fourth day, the witches had already successfully expanded across the entire continent and began gathering intelligence about this world.

The points of doubt discussed by the witches were also reflected in the battle reports.

Even though they had transformed nearly a million people across the entire continent, including many generals commanding armies or commanders of small units, they still could not piece together the initial outlook of the war.

According to their memories, the war had been ongoing for over twenty years by then, and at that time, they were merely children, unable to understand much information.

They only knew about declarations of war and nuclear intimidation from the news at that time, which were all very normal official statements, and nuclear weapons were not even mentioned.

Based on the information collected by the witches at present, despite such a prolonged war, there was still no trace of nuclear weapons, as if everyone had forgotten about this weapon of mass destruction.

But upon such simple proclamations, a bloody war that simultaneously enveloped every nation on the planet was immediately triggered.

This could be deduced from the networks of that world.

At that time, it was not a declaration of war by one nation, but rather, seemingly prearranged, hundreds of nations across the planet simultaneously issued declarations of war, which appeared extremely abnormal from the witches’ perspective.

The warfare followed immediately, with absolutely no buffer.

These peculiarities made the witches increasingly cautious, even though, in theory, the power of the Insect Swarm and the witches at this point could easily start steamrolling continents one by one.

Yet, they still held back, not even mobilizing the witches who had already been transformed, but rather letting them continue living along their original trajectories.

On the fourth day after sunrise, apart from everyone turning into witches, everything seemed so normal, as if the world was supposed to be this way.

Meanwhile, the Insect Swarm was steadily spreading underground to the neighboring continent on the other side of the continental shelf, cautiously gathering intelligence through Fei Wen.

Once everything was ready and it was time to repeat the process, it was already the early morning of the seventh day inside the instance.

By the time Bai Yi saw the battle report, it was already the evening of the seventh day.

The second continent had already completed the transformation of witches for a full day, and all kinds of intelligence had naturally been compiled.

Regarding the answers they were curious about, they still could not be found on this continent which once had a world-class superpower.

Generational gaps had a great impact on the transmission of information, and apart from finding more details that raised questions, no useful information was found.

However, this did not mean there were no gains.

This continent, both in terms of technological level and population, was far superior to the land they had descended upon.

This one continent alone had transformed 1.5 million witches, not to mention the material gains.

Although many factories had ceased operation due to the ravages of war, this once prosperous continent still retained much of its heritage.

This included various mines still operating at very low efficiency, and many modern factories that were merely short-staffed but still operational!

These were all significant gains for them!

Not only that, they also successfully found another Lord’s combat units on this continent.

Not in the urban settlements, but in a mountain area that was originally a nature park, discovered by the carpet-search style of Fei Wen.

These Lords’ combat units were also very cautious, knowing that blindly charging into modern weapon-equipped settlements could likely end poorly.

They did not blindly expand but, like them, chose to rely on the materials they brought and the natural resources surrounding them to start developing in place and building Barracks to rapidly increase their troops.

Food was reliant on the nearby wildlife that became active again due to the decrease in human population.

A week later, having reached a scale of nearly two thousand people, they prepared to probe the nearest settlement under the leadership of a 5th-tier commander.

Bai Fa and her group also did not act rashly, not annihilating them immediately.

After all, they already had control over the entire continent; this small troop could hardly stir any trouble.

If they were to be eliminated now, the gain would not even add two Burrowing Worms to the Insect Swarm.

It would be better to put on a show by the witches together, deceiving more resources from their Lord, and then harvest them all in one go.

To safely contact these people without transforming everyone into their group at first contact and alerting that Lord, Bai Fa even temporarily researched a Spell that allowed the witches to control their own spores before they descended the mountain.

—That was essentially a Wind Magic, using weak air currents to gather the naturally dispersing spores from their bodies to prevent them from spreading.

When Bai Yi saw the battle report, the witches had already initiated contact with that Lord’s troops.

Although the other party was puzzled as to why the entire settlement was female, Bai Fa actually concocted a self-consistent theory, convincing them that this was a specialty of the Otherworld, believing that the witches could indeed reproduce asexually.

And every slight abnormality was attributed to technology and Mutation.

Since contact began, half a day had passed by the time Bai Yi saw the battle reports, and the witches of that settlement were still having quite some fun.

Bai Yi was greatly astonished upon seeing this, but since Bai Fa and her group had their own plans, she let them continue their play.

After all, from another aspect of the battle report, Bai Fa and her group had actually made good research progress, developing quite a few useful Spells.

And Bai Gong had even skipped past the overly complicated stage of Magic Power Guns for Magic, and directly created the First Generation Magic Cannon.

Although the efficiency of Magic Power utilization and firing speed were far inferior to them conjuring a Fireball Technique themselves, it was at least a crucial step forward.

"That world also has vast oceans; perhaps I should invest in a Sea Son to help spread across the ocean?

The Insect Swarm is still updating, so I won’t deploy it now, I’ll wait until the upgrade is complete tomorrow...

But the blueprint of the Magic Floating Island obtained yesterday can also be thrown in, letting Bai Fa and Bai Gong prioritize studying its principle, after all, the time flow speed seven times faster inside the instance always results in faster research progress.

Hmm, Bai Xi is currently studying ship islands, and since researching inside the instance is still researching, might as well throw her in too. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Besides, there are quite a few modern factories inside the instance, which should be helpful for such technological creations..."

Bai Yi absentmindedly poked at the pieces of meat in her bowl with a pair of chopsticks, planning the units and resources needed for further investment.

The panel had already given a prompt a moment ago; according to her harvest inside the instance, the resources she could invest this time had risen to twenty thousand units.

Arranging within the Swarm Network, and once all resources were prepared, the food in front of Bai Yi had already been cleared.

Keeping an eye on the battle report, after confirming her resources and personnel had been precisely delivered, Bai Yi nodded in satisfaction, standing up ready to leave.

Today’s brief rest had ended, and she had come back to check the battle reports just before, as the transformation of the Insect Swarm was already halfway through, and it was a critical moment.

After cleaning up the residue on the table, Bai Yi entered her breeding room again.

Another half a day passed in there, until close to dawn, Bai Yi, though somewhat tired, looked contentedly at the Insect Swarm in front of her.

After a full day’s transformation, her Erosion Worms had finally been upgraded.
