On the bare ground in spring, countless insects are crowding together like rolling black waves.
The gray-black parasitic scorpion had a pair of large pincers and sharp stingers. With one pincer, it caught and threw away a parasitic mole cricket that climbed up its compound eyes, without using any force to hurt it.
Several parasitic dragon lice climbed up the shore and stayed in a small mud puddle formed by the melted snow. Bubbles were spitting out of their mouths, and their round bodies still contained terrifying lethality.
The centipede twisted its body like a snake, climbing back and forth in a large group of insects. The ends of its countless legs were sharp. If it was stung accidentally, it would sting other insects, and then the other insect would retaliate.
Due to the control of parasitic bacteria, these fierce insects only have the instinct to kill. At this time, so many insects gather together to maintain peace, which is not possible among normal fierce insects, let alone those who are bloodthirsty. A parasitic beast.
But they did not fight each other like an insect-beast gladiator. Instead, they were relatively restrained. Even if they couldn't bear it, they would not kill each other.
Thanks to their brains.
Unlike most parasitic individuals who have lost most of their intelligence and self-awareness, these individuals called "brains" have strengthened their IQs and have the ability to remotely command other individuals. They are a large group of parasitic ants or parasitic war beasts. command center.
Without their "brain", these parasitic ants or parasitic war beasts will become creatures with only primitive instincts. Although they are cruel, the threat is greatly reduced.
"Go", because of its special compatibility and affinity, turned into an individual "brain" with a deformed and huge head, a very important neural network node in the parasitic bacteria's forces.
Now his intelligence level has risen instead of falling, and has reached the level of a divine soldier ant. However, he has forgotten the past, or partially forgotten the past...
In his current consciousness, after being parasitized, there is a new life after purification. As for the memory before being purified, he still retains a little bit in the depths of his memory, and there is not much left, which is insignificant.
Now, he is a shrewd insect commander, a node close to the center of the parasite's neural network, and once led an army of parasite beasts to attack and win every battle.
Now, he is the pioneer of the parasitic army that steps out of the mother nest, sweeping through hundreds of ant tribes like a cold wave in winter.
Now, he is the driving force behind purifying the world. It is their family's mission to return the sinful world to its original path.
He is "Gun". He was once a big-headed ant and the commander of the Angel King's legion. Now he is the brain of the parasitic ant.
Around "Gun", there are many ants with similar experiences, such as "Scorpion Lion", "Spider Wolf" and "Daxiong", the brains of parasitic war beasts, "A Fei", "A Xiang" and "Guazi", the brains of parasitic flying insects, parasitic ants The brain "Lambotu", "Lamborui", "Lamboser", "Ikkyu"...
They are all Zhu Jue's ancestors.
They are also unpurified ants who once set foot in the mother nest. After being purified, they became the backbone of the people who continue to purify the world!

On March 8, when the army of the black fire ant clan arrived at the territory of the red fire ant clan, they were not received by the planned vassal ant clan, and the place was already empty of ants.
After making inquiries from various sources, the commanders of the Black Fire Ant Army urgently reported the news of the escape of the Red Fire Ant clan to the main nest.
The main nest ordered the army to recover the nest occupied by enemy ants as originally planned. As for the red fire ants, they had already fled far away, so they could only write down this account, and there was nothing they could do for the time being.
All this is just as the "wise elder" speculated.
For the black fire ant army marching westward, this is really not good news.
The territory of the fire ant clan is the starting point and logistics center of the army's plan. In addition to temporarily living here, they must obtain clear information before launching a counterattack. The black fire ant army originally planned to requisition a large amount of food supplies from the red fire ant clan as early supplies for the army.
After a whole winter, the Black Fire Ant Nation, which had already spent too much on supplies in the crow wine trade, was at its most desperate. They knew that the fire ants had hoarded a lot of food last year and could not finish it all during the winter, so they had already made this plan.
Now that the red fire ants have moved away, leaving only an empty nest and not a single grass seed left, the hungry black fire ants have settled down in the local area and urgently provide food to the neighboring nests.
The food reserves near the nest have basically bottomed out. Before winter last year, in order to buy enough crow wine from the Ant Alliance for a whole winter, the main nest of the Black Fire Ant Country not only paid a large amount of coal, but also basically spent the rich food reserves in various places. Empty everything.
The black fire ant army without military food was naturally unable to launch a direct attack as originally planned. It stayed in place for more than a week, waiting for food to be sent from various places, and foraging for food on the spot.
What this group of black fire ants don't know yet is that what they have to face is not the small harassment of border indigenous ants that have appeared in endless waves in the country's history, but a large-scale invasion by a powerful world-destroying force.

At the same time, Ant Alliance domestically.
Spring is equal, taking care of all ant tribes at the same time, awakening every piece of land and every sleeping life. and
Unlike the Black Fire Ant Nation, which was poor in supplies after the beginning of spring, the Ant Alliance Nation still had plenty of supplies and its warehouses were full, and production after the beginning of spring restarted quickly as planned without any delay.
Throughout the winter, most of the production activities in the Ant United States stopped, with only a few industries such as iron smelting still operating.
As spring begins to flourish, agriculture is the first to recover.
New seeds are sown in fields that have been buried deeply with insect excrement, plant ash, and fertilizer, and germinating weeds are cut off, waiting for the next harvest.
A large number of aphid eggs and scale insect eggs that have been stored in the nests for a long time are carried outdoors, placed on individual plants, and are guarded by ant herders in preparation for hatching.
The purple butterfly eggs have also hatched and are being fed with purchased alien ant eggs or other insect egg substitutes. The crow honey they produce is mixed with last year’s aged wood ginger seeds and other raw materials to produce the first batch of crow wine in the new year.
Not long after the beginning of spring, envoys and caravans from the leafcutter ant country and the hairy forest ant country have arrived. They are all eager to exchange supplies for new crow wine, even if the domestic workers are tightening their stomachs and suffering from hunger, the ants Nobles cannot live without crow wine.
On the south bank of Qinghe River, new spices have not yet grown. In order to supply crow wine production, ants even began to collect the new branches and leaves of the wood ginger tree. From these, they can also extract a flavor similar to the fruit of the wood ginger tree.
On the north and south banks of the Qinghe River, pontoon bridges have been erected again, and projects such as canals and long-distance underground tunnels are also in full swing.
It seems to be a peaceful spring, but the tranquility is about to be broken.
