When the protagonist wakes up, he no longer knows how long he has slept. After all, the ants do not have timekeeping tools, and in the deep underground cave, they cannot even look at the sky.
After waking up, the protagonist found that there were five more winged ants in the cave. Some were lying on the silk bed, and some were wandering around the cave mindlessly.
The protagonist looked around and quickly recognized Gun, but he was confused about who Rambo Wan was. Except for Gun, the other six winged ants were all exactly the same, and there was nothing surprising about their behavior. "It's strange. We all have the same parents, so why can I recognize Gun at a glance?" The protagonist thought to himself, "Is it because I have communicated with Gun?"
After thinking for a while, the protagonist still felt that it had something to do with communication with the tentacles, so he went over to have a conversation with the six winged ants one by one, and decided to name them respectively: Rambowan, Rambotu, Ramborui, and Lan Bofo, Lambo fly, Ramboser. As for why these names were chosen, it can only be said that the protagonist (or the author) is too lazy? Anyway, the ants don't care about the syllable names given by these humans. They have their own system for distinguishing each other.
There was not much gained from communicating with six winged ants. These newly emerged winged ants are like babies. Although they can express many emotions, they cannot express many meaningful messages.
After communicating with the six animals, the protagonist deliberately did not look at them. After a while, he waited until they were no longer in their original position after moving around each other, and then looked at them again. Sure enough, it was easy to separate the six, confirming the protagonist's suspicion that he could identify different winged ants whose antennae communicated.
At this time, the protagonist noticed that Gun hurriedly ran towards a worker ant. After some communication with the tentacles, Gun and the worker ant actually kissed each other mouth to mouth.
"Holy shit, it's so exciting, ant love!" The protagonist's eyes lit up, and he was about to run over and take a closer look.
"No, Gun is a male ant, and the worker ants are all female, so they can't be considered gay." At this time, the protagonist remembered some common sense about ants.
"But the worker ants are sterile, so they must be too hungry. They are so hungry! They will be acting in a short film soon..." The imagination of the protagonist has already taken off.
After the protagonist observes closely, he finally understands what these two are doing. I saw thick oily liquid continuously pouring out from the mouth of the worker ant, and Roll sucked all of it into his stomach without leaking anything.
"Holy crap, it turns out these worker ants are wet nurses. This way of feeding..." The protagonist suddenly remembered that he wouldn't have to eat like this in the future! ! !
"No, no, it's too disgusting. I can't accept talking to an ant mouth to mouth!" The protagonist once again felt that God was playing a trick on him. "For God's sake, can't we show a time-travel drama with a normal style? This mode is simply hellishly difficult. Even filling your stomach is a huge challenge!"
Although he was mentally disgusted and uncomfortable, after watching Gun eagerly finish his first meal, the protagonist couldn't help but feel hungry. "It turns out that the feeling of being hungry for ants is similar to that of being hungry for humans..."
After all, the protagonist is the first ant to emerge from the pupa, a little earlier than Gun, and his excessive brain activity consumes far more energy than ordinary ants. At this time, he feels hungry thanks to his sleep. That sleep.
"You must not be fed like this!" The protagonist finally made up his mind. Ants are omnivorous insects. He decided to look for the ant's granary to see if there was anything that could satisfy his hunger.
So the protagonist endured the increasingly strong hunger, turned away from the Rambos who were looking for food from the worker ants, and got out of the cave.
Along the short passage, the protagonist quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave guarded by four soldier ants. The soldier ants felt the protagonist coming out and immediately groped and stretched out their tentacles.
The moment he communicated with the soldier ant's tentacles, the protagonist felt a sense of scrutiny coming from him, and then disappeared. Then the soldier ants no longer care about the protagonist and continue to guard.
"Huh." The protagonist breathed out, and a slight stream of air spewed out from the pores in his abdomen. "I'm afraid of being locked in and not allowed to run around!"
So the protagonist turned around and entered the main passage. This time, without the company of worker ants, the protagonist felt much freer.
He looked up at the upward sloping exit of the main passage above his head. The light at the exit was still bright. It seemed that the day had not passed yet, and the protagonist had not slept long before.
The next step is to get down to business, the protagonist has to find the granary. This is not difficult, because the main passage is full of busy worker ants and soldier ants. There are many ants carrying food, just follow them.
But when he got closer and looked at the food at a close distance, the protagonist felt that his stomach acid was about to vomit out, although he didn't know whether the ants had stomach acid.
I saw that most of the worker ants held in their mouths and held in their forelimbs something like insect thighs, wings, and pieces of meat. One insect is enough to irritate the eyeballs, let alone a freshly dismembered corpse with green tissue fluid...
The protagonist stayed there for a long time and was nauseated. Of course, in the eyes of other ants, he was just in a daze with his head down.
The protagonist's predicament is saved by a reckless little worker ant. The protagonist was feeling sick when he suddenly felt like he was stabbed in the abdomen. Looking back, I saw a worker ant trying hard to hold a shriveled and malnourished sunflower seed in its beak. The sunflower seed was too big for the size of the small worker ant. The worker ant struggled to maintain its balance and swayed. As he moved forward leisurely, he bumped into other ants or walls from time to time.
The protagonist turned around after being hit by her, but as soon as he saw the sunflower seeds, the protagonist's eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed forward and bit the shell of the sunflower seeds with the claw in his mouth.
The little worker ant was struggling to move forward, and the sudden resistance made her feel strange. Putting down the sunflower seeds, the little worker ant saw the protagonist. The protagonist hurriedly put up the tentacles, and the confused message from the worker ants came, and the protagonist replied hurriedly, "Give this to me."
I don’t know if the worker ant understood it or didn’t dare to disobey it, but she put down the sunflower seeds and ran away without saying a word.
At this time, the protagonist's hunger has almost reached the limit of endurance. The protagonist didn't care about the ants coming and going around, he opened his mouth and gnawed at the shell of the sunflower seeds, and then the whole turtle felt like it was broken... This behavior confirmed the old saying - you can't eat sunflower seeds in a hurry.
In the end, the protagonist took advantage of human wisdom and took full advantage of the sunflower seeds' weaknesses, tearing off a few shell pieces from the edges, and finally took out the sunflower seed kernels from the belly of the sunflower seeds and chewed a big meal.
While eating the main character, I thought: "It seems to taste different from when it was a human. It tastes more delicious."
In any case, the protagonist finally solved the problem of eating for the time being.
