The police happily agreed to the protagonist's two requests: First, the 32 kings from "Dongyang City" who were ineligible for marriage flight will be made the protagonist's subordinates, and enough soldier ants and worker ants will be added. This legion will participate. A war is about to be launched against the pavement ant barbarians. The second is to temporarily resettle the female ants that should have been expelled, and then let him deal with them after the protagonist returns triumphantly.
The protagonist himself feels embarrassed to keep deceiving the honest ant like this, although it is still very satisfying to succeed in the deception.
At this time, the police officer had already turned to leave, but turned back and told the protagonist: "I am confused about something. Why are so many male ants coming to "Dongyang City" this year? "
The protagonist was stunned for a moment. He recalled the knowledge that his senior brother once taught him. The average secondary nest only gives birth to ten male ants a year, and the remote secondary nest will have more, about twenty. Indeed, this can ensure that at least ten male ants are born. About ten male ants arrive at the main nest to participate in the nuptial flight. But the protagonist remembers that when he first emerged from the pupa, there were fifty male ant pupae around him. Even after traveling long distances, there are now 32 that have successfully reached the main nest, far exceeding the normal number.
"I don't know!" The protagonist also couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe it's God's will..." The police officer couldn't figure it out either: "This is not normal. You are going to "Dongyang City" according to God's will. Please be sure to find out the reason. This may be related to the survival of a deputy nest. Perhaps it is directly related to divine will. "
The protagonist has always felt that the thinking of ants, even the king, is relatively simple. Now it seems that the logical thinking ability of the police has become very strong. No wonder the ants are able to skillfully use and preserve fire. And there is something in what the police said. What does "maybe related to the survival of a deputy nest" mean? Do you know something that you're not telling me?
The protagonist wanted to ask clearly, but the police officer ran away without giving the protagonist this chance.
The protagonist puts this matter aside for now, he still has important things to do. He went to the temporary settlement site to find Gun and the others, and told them the news that they had become his subordinates. They immediately conveyed the mood of obedience without any resistance. After hearing that the war was coming, the mood of these male ants obviously improved a lot.
For the king of the kingdom, the most important things in his life are the only one wedding and the war that happens almost every year. Since the marriage has failed and is irreversible, war has become the only meaning of their lives.
The protagonist is still a little unfair to them in his heart. He learned from his senior brother that in the world of ants, there is still a lot of discrimination against the king who failed to get married. After the kings in the sub-nest who successfully married and flew back to the sub-nest where they were born, since there is no king in the sub-nest, they directly become one of the actual rulers of the sub-nest, with great power. Although the kings of the main nest who have successfully married are temporarily just a member of the ordinary kings of the main nest, they will be given priority when there are vacancies among the kings and substitutes are needed. Most of the kings who stayed in the main nest after the failed marriage flight, like Gun and others, were just ordinary grassroots commanders throughout their lives until they were killed in a certain battle, or were injured and deprived of all rights, and even were fed as worker ants. Dislike, only a very few lucky kings can become kings by virtue of special merits or merits accumulated through healthy survival.
"You are under my command, and I will take good care of you." The protagonist thought to himself. He has always been a person who protects his shortcomings. At this time, he started to have a headache, and it seemed that some of my most memorable things in my previous life were related to my shortcomings. what is it then? The idea came to the protagonist's mind, but he couldn't remember it.
The protagonist still decides to give up, maybe he will be able to think of it next time if there is an opportunity. He looked around and found that the female ant in the previous team was no longer there, so he quickly asked about it.
Gun tells the protagonist that the female ant has been taken away by a worker ant and should be expelled from the kingdom to fend for itself. He didn't feel any pity for the fate of his companions. From Ant's perspective, this was a matter of course, and he didn't feel any empathy at all because he was also a loser in the marriage.
The protagonist hates that iron cannot become steel. The thinking of these ants is often at odds with his own human thinking. The protagonist wants to change them, but time is running out now. Let’s change their thinking slowly in the future.
The protagonist is not worried about the little female ant. Since the police have promised him, he can wait until he comes back alive from the battlefield to resettle these female ants.
The protagonist ordered Gun and the others to prepare for the expedition tomorrow. He didn't know where the soldier ants and worker ants that the main nest had replenished were, so he asked Gun to coordinate them. He was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
But not everything can be left behind. The protagonist still needs to run back to his four-bedroom home to inform Xiaomi and Hua Mulan. This time he decided to leave Xiaomi behind. This smart and chirping little worker ant was very weak in combat, so it was better not to take risks on the battlefield. The protagonist does not intend to bring other worker ants brought from the main nest. They have more or less learned some knowledge from the protagonist and will be good helpers for the protagonist to realize his plan in the future. Xiaomi’s bodyguard Zhuang 1 is also planning to stay.
As for Mulan and the other thirteen soldier ants brought from the main nest, the protagonist decided to take them all with him as his personal bodyguards. They had already proven their loyalty and bravery in the battle with centipedes during the journey.
Although it is a battlefield and there are sub-nests on the front line as supply points, the protagonist's special needs for food must also be taken into consideration. He specifically checked the single ant vehicle and double ant vehicle he brought before. They were all intact and could carry out the next mission. The protagonist then asked Wei 1 to find some nuts and fungi that he could eat and bring them with him. As for the processing of cooked food, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not conducive to preservation, the protagonist gave up.
When Wei 1 brought some worker ants to bring the food back, the protagonist took Xiao Mi and Hua Mulan to personally tie the food and his silk bed to the vehicle. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mi could already use his hands and mouth in a decent manner. Tie a knot, which really impressed the protagonist, and I don’t know if she has practiced it secretly. However, Hua Mulan, who was the first to follow the protagonist, could only do some rough work, but could not get close to the black man.
Just after finishing the food and luggage, Gun ran over to find the protagonist (I don’t know how he became familiar with the maze-like underground streets of the main nest so quickly as a new arrival). He tells the protagonist that he must personally receive the troops replenished from the main nest. This job cannot be passed on to others, so the protagonist can only run out of the four-bedroom apartment again.
Gun first led the protagonist back to the temporary settlement site, and then joined the other thirty-one kings from "Dongyang City". They were led by a guide worker ant that had been waiting for a long time, and went to the designated place to receive their own kings. army.
At this time, they had completely lost the decadence they had when they lost the right to fly for marriage.
