Chapter 665 - 413: Creating the Queen Bee

On a desolate mountain outside the Capital City, one could overlook the entire battlefield.

The once flat land had turned pitch black under the high-density bombardment, with ghastly body fragments strewn everywhere. Endless waves of Rebel Army soldiers surged through the deadly minefield like a tide, storming the city walls of the Capital City for bloody close-quarters combat with the enemy.

After over eight hours of fierce day-long battle, it was now dusk, with the setting sun reddening the bodies of soldiers from both sides and the weapons in their hands.

The sounds of artillery fire, shouting, and the clashing of weapons interwove to form a bloody symphony, as both sides waged a brutal killing on the city walls.

The battle turned extremely bloody right from the beginning, as the two sides were so close to each other that firearms were practically useless, resulting in direct hand-to-hand combat.

Rebel Army soldiers surged onto the city walls like a torrent, performing efficient slaughter in silence, using their own bodies as weapons to crush the enemies before them.

Capital Soldiers were also fiercely fighting back, wielding military knives or spades to fanatically swing at the heads and bodies of enemies, occasionally letting out war cries and roars.

The soldiers from both sides clashed like opposing waves, intertwining and entangling, with countless dying by the minute, lives being mercilessly harvested like grass, and even the wind was tainted with the scent of blood, which became overwhelmingly pungent amidst the smoke.

Su Mo and Su Motong stood on the mountaintop, looking at this scene in the distance.

Su Motong’s demeanor was different from usual, her pitch-black eyes full of sharpness, exuding a maturity and ruthlessness beyond her years.

A massive and eerie vortex of energy surged in the depths of her pupils, mysterious and unfathomable like an undercurrent in the deep sea, seemingly ready to swallow everything.

At the same time, she was murmuring something, and if one listened closely, they would find it was a kind of whisper not belonging to any human language.

"Kasi...Lor...Hbv...Myt..."

The bizarre syllables continuously flowed from her mouth, with low frequency changes, yet each utterance would cause the Rebel Army soldiers’ attack patterns to adjust to a certain extent.

The Queen Bee was controlling her Worker Bees.

Su Mo looked at Su Motong, thoughts racing in his mind.

Indeed, none of the Rebel Army soldiers engaged in the battle for the Capital City were human; all were Constructs.

In the past three years, the Future, based on the knowledge found in the "Human Document," had recreated a method to mass-produce supernatural power, breaking completely through the corporate giants’ blockade.

Su Mo had also been using memories of the game to employ ground-air techniques utilized during the beast crisis to enter underground nodes and recover the left-behind Construct manufacturing technology.

In the past, the Edge Mansion underwent significant downward expansion, where "humans" secretly manufactured in petri dishes were each Constructs.

These mass-produced Constructs were considered "Worker Bees" within their hive structure, with physical abilities several times that of humans, roughly equivalent to a first-stage entry-level Extraordinary Being with supernatural power.

While the individual strength of Worker Bee Constructs was not particularly formidable, their overwhelming numbers prevailed, with over two million Constructs born in the past three years beneath the Edge Mansion, matching the scale of a large modern army.

They could enter a dormant state when inactive, drastically reducing energy consumption, capable of maintaining dormancy for up to a year or two.

If they needed to ingest energy, they could extract necessary energy from silicate substances—in layman’s terms, they could "eat stones."

Thus, even with such a large number of Constructs hidden beneath the Edge Mansion over the past three years, Su Mo had never worried about supply issues, as stones were abundant everywhere.

Beyond surpassing human bodily strength, the most crucial aspect was undoubtedly their characteristics.

Constructs are a species constructed through Hive consciousness, with "Worker Bee" individuals lacking any self-awareness, merely executing the instructions input into their consciousness by the "Queen Bee" or "Main Brain."

This means that on the battlefield, they know no fear, despair, or joy, with no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, akin to machines.

Charging under artillery fire and through minefields with no consideration for cost, losing over 600,000 lives in 8 hours—no army in human history could endure this.

But for Constructs, death or survival, battle or dormancy is all the same to them; it’s merely executing commands.

Even those suicidal charges are merely duties ingrained in the Worker Bees, unshakeable and immutable.

The one controlling them is the "Queen Bee," Su Motong.

After the end of the Iron Sun campaign, under Su Mo’s directives, the human soldiers in the Rebel Army were withdrawn from the battlefield.

The ones taking over combat duties, sacrificing on the battlefield instead of humans, were the Worker Bees controlled by Su Motong.

The previous Inner Sea Campaign, where underwater attacks were launched against the Inland Sea Fleet, utilized neither submarines nor frogmen, but Constructs with physical structures surpassing humans.

The tactic was actually quite simple, with each Construct having special explosives implanted within, approaching enemy ships from beneath the sea...

Crash.

Slam into the enemy ship and detonate.

If one isn’t enough, then ten.

If ten aren’t enough, then a hundred.

Even if enemy ship torpedoes and depth charges destroyed a thousand, it didn’t matter; there were another ten thousand, a hundred thousand behind.

More than three hundred main battleships of the Inland Sea Fleet and over five hundred thousand naval officers and soldiers were blasted apart by these Constructs.
