The protagonist climbed up to the ground and let the worker ants who led the way leave. He walked around the hills of the main nest and recalled that he came here from the east. So the protagonist turned to the east side of the hill, and finally used his memory to find the entrance of the main nest where the police took him, and then found the nest room where the little secretary and the others were.
The protagonist was very happy to see Xiao Mi and the others again, even though they were away for only a short period of time, which was only half a day. But a lot of things happened in the past half day. Suddenly, he became the Divine Envoy King inexplicably, and was asked to live in the main nest permanently to receive education. The protagonist unconsciously missed the "Dongyang City Deputy Nest" where he was born. Although Lao Wang there is a little colder, and there are too few other male ants, lacking someone to talk to, but there are not as many rules as in the main nest, and the nest room he lives in is relatively comfortable.
Hua Mulan came over with concern and touched the protagonist's body with her tentacles to confirm that he was fine. The little secretary also came over and chirped to ask the protagonist if he had seen the fire. When she learned that the protagonist had become the Envoy King, she was also confused and had no idea what the position was. It seemed that she had followed Lao Wang here before. I haven't heard anything about the God Envoy King. .
The protagonist saw that they had eaten and drank enough during the time they were waiting in the nest, and their stomachs that were a little deflated were inflated again. It seemed that the ants in the main nest treated them well.
He asked Xiao Mi and the others to follow him, carry the vehicle and the food he brought with them, and follow him to his new residence. The reason why you have to carry your luggage instead of carrying it is because there are many narrow tunnels underground in the main nest. Carrying it on your back is very inconvenient, and you may not be able to get through those tunnels.
It is relatively easy to find a place to live. The protagonist found a worker ant and said he wanted to find the senior brother. The worker ant immediately said that he knew the route. It seems that the senior brother, as the disciple of the oldest king, is unknown to all ants in the main nest. I don’t know. While following the worker ant, the protagonist asked Xiao Mi and Hua Mulan to memorize the route so that they would not know the way when they climb up to the ground in the future. With the protagonist's memory, he would have given up on such a futile move, but Xiao Mi and Hua Mulan were very familiar with it.
Soon after returning to the new residence, the protagonist looked across the way and saw that the senior brother was no longer inside, and he didn't know what he was doing.
The protagonist thought about placing Xiaomi and the others in a cave next to his bedroom, but when the protagonist went over and took a look, he saw that there were winged male ants staying in the nearby nest. The protagonist thought for a while and decided to dig a bigger nest. Digging some soil would not be troublesome for the ants who were well fed and drunk.
Just go ahead and do it. The protagonist conceived the construction drawing. Since there are other young male ant nests on both sides, he can't dig on both sides, so he can only dig deeper. So the protagonist conceived a four-room structure strung together like sugar-coated haws. The original bedroom served as the entrance hall. Behind the entrance hall were two bedrooms for soldier ants and worker ants, and the last one was his own bedroom.
The protagonist passes the information package of the conceived construction drawings to the worker ants and soldier ants under his subordinates one by one. After receiving the order, the subordinates quickly start working.
Naturally, the protagonist will not dig the soil himself. The ants will not be demoralized because the leader takes the lead, nor will they be demoralized because the leader retreats to the third line. Therefore, the protagonist is just lazy on the side, and his subordinates do not complain at all. .
The soil here is relatively compact, with more clay and less gravel. It takes more effort for the ants to dig, and it is not easy to take a bite out of the clay-like clay. The progress of the project is slower than the protagonist expected.
But the advantage is that the dug nest is very strong and generally not easy to collapse. Previously in the "Dongyang City Vice Nest", the soil there had a higher gravel content. The protagonist had seen many abandoned passages and nest rooms due to collapse, and the protagonist's two-bedroom apartment was dug out of an abandoned passage. Fortunately, the two-bedroom apartment has not collapsed since it was completed. However, ants generally have no life-threatening danger when encountering a collapse. Most of the time, they can get out of the landslide site on their own. If unfortunately they are buried in the collapsed soil and cannot escape, they will send out a shaking signal and come after hearing the news. The other ants will rescue her.
The protagonist watched the second nest chamber gradually taking shape. At this time, he felt a little relieved, so he stopped caring about the construction team, pulled out some grass fiber from the grass bed, and ran out to find a convenient place to go.
The intersection of the passage where the bedroom is located and a large passage is filled with soil excavated by the subordinates during construction. The protagonist asked them to throw it here nearby. Otherwise, transporting it to the ground again and again will greatly delay the construction period. . Anyway, the main nest ants passing by find these soil particles and will clean them up consciously.
The disadvantage of the main nest is that there are too many ants. The protagonist found many side roads nearby, and there were busy ants inside. The protagonist went all the way down and finally found a deserted area to solve his personal problem. After wiping his butt with a blade of grass, the protagonist finally felt comfortable and went home.
It took a lot longer than expected to go out for convenience this time. The protagonist was a little sleepy. The biological clock told the protagonist that it was already night. I went through a lot today, and although I didn’t eat, I wasn’t too hungry. The protagonist estimates that the four-bedroom apartment should be dug out. He should go back and sleep on the haystack for one night, and then go find some food tomorrow. By the way, I need to get some silk to make a silk bed.
After thinking about it, the protagonist had already walked back and saw that the mound of soil outside the entrance had become much higher. The protagonist walked into a fork in the road. The entrance to the four-bedroom apartment was right in front, and the secretary hurried over.
"Huh? Did you dig something strange during construction?" The protagonist heard the secretary's report and quickly climbed in. The subordinates have basically dug the cave and are resting in the second and third rooms.
The protagonist gets into the innermost bedroom reserved for himself, where the strange thing the little secretary mentioned is here. The lighting underground is not good and there are no fluorescent bacteria, so what the protagonist climbs in to see is not very realistic.
Flapping around with his tentacles, the protagonist finally found something wrong. The rest of the nest is made of clay, except for a wall directly opposite the entrance that is very strong and hard. This happens to be the direction in which the ants keep digging. After digging out these hard rocks, they stop digging and instead expand the size of the nest laterally.
The protagonist is stroking these stones. The stones are not a whole, but are composed of many small stones layered on top of each other. The surface looks uneven, and the joints between the small stones feel a little sticky and full of soil particles. .
The protagonist realized that this was just a wall made of white cobblestones! ! !
