I Am The Swarm

Chapter 757: Alarm

In the early days, especially when the New Ji race had just inherited the mantle of the original Ji race, many believed that the development of artificial intelligence should be curbed. However, due to Lumina’s high level of autonomous authority, this suppression wasn’t very effective.

Over the long years, the New Ji race benefited greatly from Lumina. Consequently, some began to accept this entity beyond their control and started developing and upgrading AI technology based on Lumina’s characteristics, aiming to maintain a leading position in the Confederation in this field.

To this day, they have indeed achieved this. But precisely because of this, in the Interstellar Technological Confederation, except for a few races that have completely given up, other races have more or less been re

The four squadron codes called out by the commander were abbreviations. Their full codes were extremely long, but anyone present knew which teams the commander referred to.

Each of the four small squadrons consisted of twelve warships, the smallest organizational unit in the Ji fleet. Because the Ji fleet had previously chosen a very elongated formation, even these four smallest units occupied a considerable length of the formation.

And this section was the optimal firing position for targeting the star gate and the hijacked warship.

The warship carrying the Swarm Empress belonged to Squadron 0599. Upon receiving the order, the other warships in the squadron adjusted their courses and headed toward the hijacked warship, intending to physically intercept it.

However, the unknown force that hijacked the warship, being bold enough to act, was evidently well-prepared. The hijacked warship moved like a fish, skillfully dodging incoming collisions. Two vessels even crashed into each other while trying to evade, temporarily withdrawing from the battle.

Witnessing this scene, the Ji commanders slightly frowned. Although the new piloting team of the hijacked warship seemed highly skilled, their own warships shouldn’t be this incompetent.

Though these warships appeared numerous and ordinary, each crew was selected through multiple layers of screening. Any single warship here possessed the capability to sweep away a low-level civilization.

Logically, even if the hijacked warship’s crew were highly skilled pilots, under identical ship performance conditions, a 1 vs. 11 scenario where they dominated like a circus act should not exist.

“Selina, is Squadron 0599 still under our control?” the commander asked doubtfully, the current situation prompting him to consider various possibilities. If the enemy could hijack one warship, they could potentially hijack more.

“Except for JZJ18982192798, communications with the rest of the target squadron are normal…”

“Strange…” the commander muttered. Could it be that their own personnel were so lax in training that their skills had deteriorated to this extent?

“Beep beep beep… Alert, alert, entire Squadron 0599 has been infiltrated, entire Squadron 0599 has been infiltrated…” Suddenly, Selina’s alarm sounded.

“What’s going on!?” The commander was both shocked and angry. Hadn’t they just conducted checks? How could there suddenly be an error?
