253 worker ants are working in the temporary camp digging holes. This means that about 12 worker ants who may be the killers are still hiding in this team...
The protagonist looked through Gun's field of vision. For a moment, he felt that the faces of all the worker ants seemed to be ferocious. Their digging movements were like sharpening knives. Are they digging holes or preparing to dig and bury them? Where is the team's grave? Are they communicating with each other or linking up tonight's murder?
The protagonist's mouth felt a little dry while watching. He wanted to remind Gun loudly that they should pay attention at night. The murderer was beside them, a companion they trusted with the same aura, and the night was the murderer's protective umbrella. But this is just a replay of past scenes, and the protagonist can do nothing but read these images.
The protagonist laughed at himself, thinking that he was too caught up in the drama. Gun and Rambo were all safely with him now, and everyone was running together to avoid the heavy rain, so why should he be so worried. There is no bond between the male ants who actually died and the protagonist. The only thing that should be worried about is the situation of "Dongyang City".
The protagonist calmed down and continued to quietly watch the progress of this past video.
The worker ants quickly completed the digging of underground caves. Due to the reduction in team size, they only dug 12 caves this time.
Gun still lives with Lambofei, Lambory, and Rambowan, and there are 21 worker ants in the same nest. The protagonist carefully observed the picture and found that the remaining 10 nests were each occupied by 4 male ants and 21 worker ants, and the last nest was occupied by the only female ant and 22 worker ants.
The protagonist looked at the worker ants in the same nest as him. They were all obedient and quietly taking a nap in the cave. There was no sign of any ant killers. However, facial features may not always be accurate for humans with hugely different looks, let alone ants carved from the same mold. The protagonist still doesn't understand how he can recognize who is Gun and who is Rambo Wan at a glance. They all have the same face, which is more similar than the faces of Internet celebrities in previous lives.
Guan quickly fell asleep, and as he continued to doze off and wake up, the scene once again became intermittent. Through the occasional brief scenes, there are still worker ants waking up from time to time and running out of the cave. It is not clear whether they are going to excrete or participating in some secret actions. However, these worker ants did not appear to swarm.
Gun suddenly woke up completely, and the male ants next to him also woke up one after another. With their keen senses, they noticed the changes in air pressure and humidity. The protagonist also realized that the next night after the first rain, there was a heavy rain. Gun and Rambo Fei had a brief chat and thought that the rain was not small. This small underground nest would definitely not be able to protect them from the heavy rain. They had to find a place to hide from the rain.
So the four male ants shouted out to the worker ants who were still taking a nap. The worker ants' sensory acuity is slightly worse than that of the male ants. They have not yet felt that the rainstorm is coming, but under the command of the male ants, all the ants in the cave climbed to the ground one after another.
In addition to rolling, there are several male ants that have crawled out of the caves. They all feel the power of the heavy rain that is about to pour on the world. There was no movement in some caves, so Gun immediately ordered the worker ants around him to go to each cave to notify them to evacuate.
The ants in the caves closer to the center of the camp came out one after another and gathered around Gun. After notifying several nearby caves, one of the worker ants responsible for delivering the order continued to crawl toward the last remote cave in the temporary camping site.
Rolling eyes watched her climb into the cave. Within two seconds, the worker ant suddenly showed its head at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that she wanted to crawl out in a hurry, but the next second she disappeared from the entrance of the cave, as if she was pulled by something. Go in.
If there is a situation, get out of here and they will react instantly. In their minds, they thought that the carnivorous insects that killed their companions last night were coming again.
As these male ants emitted alert scent and sound signals, the worker ants immediately formed a tight defensive formation. We still don’t know whether the male ants in that cave are dead or alive, but the male ants have a noble status, so we must send a few ants to see what happens.
He gave orders to the four worker ants around him. The four worker ants lined up and crawled towards the entrance of the hole. The large army of male ants and worker ants also formed a tight defensive formation and slowly approached the entrance of the hole.
The four worker ants responsible for the reconnaissance mission came to the cave and did not rush in. They had received orders from Gun to conduct reconnaissance according to the search mode when encountering enemies. I saw two worker ants moving the tiny stones and gravel inside the hole and throwing them into the hole. This is a trick often used by ants, which is quite similar to asking for directions. The other two worker ants were watching the entrance warily.
Perhaps throwing stones to ask for directions had an effect. There was a rustling sound of joints rubbing against the tunnel below the cave, and something crawled up.
Gun and the others were all staring at the entrance of the hole intently. When they felt something was about to crawl out, all the male ants tightened their strings and were ready to issue an attack command at any time.
The rustle grew closer.
Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the cave.
With only the weak moonlight, Gun and the others who were far away could not immediately determine the identity of the person. However, the four worker ants near the entrance of the hole used their tentacles to verify the identity of the black figure that came out, and did not launch an attack.
The protagonist, who used Gun's vision, still had his excellent night vision, and he saw clearly that what emerged was a worker ant. It is a worker ant whose body is covered with ant tissue fluid.
"That's the enemy, the murderer." The protagonist immediately determined that a murder had just occurred in the cave inside. He didn't know whether the tissue fluid on the worker ant belonged to the worker ant messenger who had just been dragged in, or to other ants originally resting in the cave.
The four worker ant scouts at the entrance only knew that the ones who came out were companions with the same breath. They patted the visitor's carapace with their tentacles in a friendly manner, and even wanted to help her lick the dirty liquid off the carapace.
The killer worker ant did not do anything unusual. She quickly left the hole, and then the second, third and fourth worker ants crawled out one after another.
The protagonist saw the four killer worker ants that had just come out of the hole crawling behind the four scout worker ants at the entrance of the hole. A comparison shows that the four worker ants are obviously slightly larger in size. Although they are not as big as the soldier ants, they are still larger than the four scout worker ants in terms of abdomen and their upper jaws are also more developed.
There were also worker ants that continued to crawl out of the cave, but no male ants were seen.
At this time, a sudden change occurred!
I saw the killer worker ants that had already circled behind the scout workers suddenly swooped up and bit their necks. The detective worker ants were shocked and instinctively twisted their bodies to try to escape, but the murderer, who had already taken the advantage, had the upper hand in both body position and strength and quickly tore off the victim's head. These dead scout ants did not even have time to send out a distress signal, and even to their death they did not understand why they were attacked by their own kind.
Although Gun and the others had poor vision at night, they could vaguely notice something was wrong ahead. Gun and several other male ants who came forward and saw something strange immediately issued warning orders. The entire team that was slowly approaching the cave entrance stopped immediately. All the ants nervously waved their tentacles, trying to figure out the current situation through smell and touch.
The protagonist saw seventeen worker ants crawling out of the entrance of the cave. Only the first four worker ants that had just completed a murder under the protagonist's nose were larger. However, the larger ones were not very obvious, so the protagonist did not notice it in the previous two days. Their differences.
After all seventeen killer worker ants crawled out, after the four big worker ants briefly communicated with them, they actually gathered into a group and rushed towards their team.
Are they crazy? The protagonist thought that with the cover of night and the identity of their companions, these worker ants could eliminate one or two ants resting in the cave without anyone noticing, but now these seventeen worker ants actually attacked more than two hundred The ants' team came to kill them!
Before the protagonist could figure it out, these seventeen worker ants had already killed them in front of Gun's team.
The worker ants in the team were on full alert and spotted the enemies before they approached. However, after the tentacles came into contact, these worker ants were confused - it was their partners who came.
The killer worker ants quickly took advantage of the defender's stunned gap and bit the dozen worker ants in the first row with their mandibles. The bitten worker ants instinctively struggled desperately. Since they were attacked from the front, they were not bitten on the fatal part.
Roll and they finally confirmed that the one they were killing was the enemy, even though the worker ants in the first row strangely did not take counterattack immediately.
The male ants sent out attack signals one after another, and the worker ants around them moved over with a huff, surrounding the attackers... Then, these worker ants were also confused, and they did not find any scent of the enemy. And once the crowd is over, all the worker ants are crowded together, and the protagonist can no longer distinguish which ones are the murderers and which ones are the guards! Only a few worker ants were still fighting each other.
But even so, the male ants are safe. After all, the number of killers is too small. Although they cannot be distinguished, if they dare to break out of the worker ant colony to attack the male ants, they will be discovered by other worker ants who are loyal to their protector. wipe out.
At this time, the situation on the field actually changed again...
I saw a few worker ants suddenly sticking their buttocks up, bending their bodies from below and rushing towards their upper bodies. As a stream of water mist was sprayed out, these worker ants were immediately suffused with a smell, which was different from the smell that everyone had before that was unique to "Dongyang City".
The protagonist pauses the scene and takes a closer look. It is the four slightly larger killer worker ants that are spraying water mist! If it weren't for this action, he wouldn't be able to distinguish these four murderous worker ants from other worker ants mixed together.
What are they doing?
