Chapter 242: Offering our undying loyalty to Princess Baihao
In fact, the new ANBU has been expanded.
The operation of the ANBU in the village is linked to the village's administration and logistics, which means that the ANBU is not an independent unit. Through the village's administrative department and logistics department, the specific movements of the ANBU can be judged based on clues.
The New Anbu is an independent organization, and its only connection with the outside world is the circulation of funds.
The main combatants still maintain the size of a brigade.
What has been expanded is the management and logistics staff.
At this time, Meiji and Jiri arrived at the ANBU headquarters.
A secret base under the prison.
The secret base is mainly built by ANBU personnel. Earth escape is extremely easy to use for digging holes, and it is highly efficient and practical in the construction industry.
In the early days of the village, most of the buildings in Konoha were made of wood and were undertaken by the First Hokage alone. It was not until the Ninja clan joined in that they gradually began to build the buildings individually.
There are construction-related crafts within the Ninja clan.
There is also a lack of relevant content in the village's task commissions. Because of the tasks, even civilian ninjas have more or less mastered several unique skills.
For example, Bai Ya is very good at clay sculpture and stone carving, especially dog carving.
In terms of professionalism, they are on par with professional craftsmen, but in terms of production tools, they are completely different.
Chakra is an extremely efficient universal production tool that can be applied to all walks of life.
Just the shadow clone can save a lot of labor by removing it, which is especially suitable for scientific research.
The training of scientific researchers is very expensive and difficult, and one scientific researcher can be used as several.
Meiji was not worried about the quality of the project during the construction of the new base. Among them was the Senju Old Man who participated in the entire process of the construction of the second-generation ANBU. Even the layout of the ANBU facilities that should have been destroyed was backed up.
The new ANBU was not built in the same style as before.
Instead, it was built according to the drawings given by Mei Ji.
After digging holes for nearly ten years, Mei Ji also has a lot of experience and experience in digging holes.
The overall style of the new base is rather underworld, like a nest of insects.
Not much thought was spent on decoration.
In fact, the burden of decoration is huge.
As long as it has basic functional facilities, it is enough.
Miki's money is Miki's money, not ANBU's money.
Emptiness and dead silence are the main colors here, followed by passages extending in all directions, like spider webs spreading out, and the whole place is like a spider entangled in the web.
The new base is just below the prison, and only a few people know about it so far.
The rest of the people came to the headquarters through underground secret passages. These secret passages spread in all directions. Excavation was still ongoing, and Meiji's insect swarm took over part of the project.
Forming a connected giant spider web, it will become a deadly trap for prey to be trapped in during wartime.
Not only people can use this tactic.
The most suitable one is Mei Ji’s insect swarm.
In Starship Troopers, the complex underground maze combined with the insect swarm will be a terrifying nightmare for the enemy.
This is also the consistent fighting style of the Aburame clan, setting up positional traps, hiding the movements of the insect swarm, and launching a fatal blow.
Mei Ji just super doubled this tactical theory.
Madara's appearance made Miki feel the crisis, and then she reacted.
Even for Madara, he has plenty of room on the ground, but underground, many techniques will be limited by space.
For example, techniques such as Tenzhi Zhenxing and Complete Susanoo.
No fool would drive a Gundam deep underground to fight.
The landslide was enough for him.
As long as Miki is determined to hide underground and Madara enters the net, he will fall into Miki's rhythm and compete with the insect swarm to consume his power.
Although this is only an ideal situation.
But there’s nothing wrong with being prepared.
Mei Ji now urgently needs a new ruthless digging machine.
Previously, Mei Ji was considering worms, and the final form was Nydus Worms.
The Nydus Worms can stretch themselves to astonishing lengths. Zerg units wriggle through the advanced muscles in the Nydus Worms, performing high-speed maneuvers in a physical way of excretion.
The early form, in Meiji's design, was a worm form with a drill bit.
Create channels underground by rotating at high speed.
This requires the worms to be large and have strong muscles.
The prototype chosen was an annular worm such as an earthworm.
The huge size cannot be supported. Even slugs are not very good at digging holes, let alone giant snakes. Even if they are large, their efficiency is extremely low.
But now Mei Ji is ready to implement another plan.
The size is not enough to collect the quantity.
The creature chosen by Mei Ji is slime mold.
This creature was born to build complex paths.
Humans can even use its characteristics to build the most reasonable highway network.
There are many problems that need to be solved when using slime mold. One of them is that it is not good at digging soil, but is good at drilling holes.
But the final form can also be called a tunnel worm. It is born with the ability to stretch itself to astonishing lengths. It is a shape-shifter, a creature between animals and fungi. It only has some abilities with the previous tunnel worm.
There is a difference.
What Mei Ji likes about is that the slime mold can now lay out underground routes, and small swarms of insects can move forward and move along the roads found by the slime mold.
Road construction can be postponed.
The problem to be solved is to allow slime mold to survive normally in underground spaces without light.
At present, Mei Ji has discovered more than 300 species of slime mold, and the one she selected is a dark red network-shaped slime mold that looks like blood vessels.
This slime mold is poisonous but can be eaten by insects and has the ability to store large amounts of nutrients.
To a certain extent, it can also function as a Zerg carpet.
The entire insect swarm is a whole, a superorganism.
Within this superorganism...
Meiji is the brain, Eve is the cell, the offensive unit is the immune system that guards the entire body, the slug is responsible for the energy conversion and manufacturing system, and the tunnel worm is responsible for the important blood circulation system, which is the heart.
It is an extremely important key link.
At this time, in the ANBU base hall, a thousand people were arranged in a square formation according to their respective units.
It is worth mentioning that the gargoyle troops, namely Konoha's special security forces, ANBU reserves, and the acolyte troops guarding the prison are not among them.
The people in the Gargoyle and Acolyte troops will not know that they are ANBU until they are selected into ANBU.
On the high platform in the center, Meiji, who was wearing a hooded robe and a mask, looked at the ANBU personnel below who were also wrapped in hooded robes.
Jiri stood beside Miki, and on his left was Hitomi, who had been waiting here for a long time.
Not far ahead was Tsunade who was a little at a loss.
This occasion would be impossible without her.
The whole hall was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Miki stepped forward, walked in front of Tsunade, and raised her hood.
Jiri and Hitomi followed, lifting their hoods to reveal the masks they were wearing.
Many ANBU behind the three people also raised their hoods, revealing their bald heads.
The exposed skin of his whole body was covered with black oil paint, and the pale paint outlined the bones on his body.
Everyone looks like a terrifying skeleton.
The messy hairstyles and colors are gone, and each skeleton looks like a copy-paste, full of terrifying oppression.
There is something called a wig. The purpose of shaving your hair and applying oil paint is to hide the identity of the ANBU personnel.
This is Meiji's handiwork.
This has many benefits, including deterrence and concealment of identity.
The hidden purpose is to erase personality.
It is common sense to have your hair shaved when you join the army.
My hair is gone, but I have become stronger.
This is Konoha's Immortal Anbu, which will spread terror and death.
Miki knelt down on one knee in front of Tsunade and lowered her head. At the same time, Juri and Hitomi made the same move, and behind them, many ANBU knelt down in unison.
