A severe headache suddenly occurred, Zhu Jue's vision went dark, and the dizziness made him confused.
It seemed that after a while, Zhu Jue's consciousness returned, but his eyes were still dark. Suddenly feeling empty under his feet, Zhu Jue hurriedly waved his six limbs and followed the feeling to cling to the nearly vertical smooth surface beside him.
Zhu Jue's vision has gradually recovered, but he can't see anything clearly in the darkness around him, and his proud night vision ability has actually disappeared.
Zhu Jue's heart tightened. He didn't know what was going on. He calmed down for a while and confirmed that there was no danger or noise around him. Zhu Jue began to feel around like an ordinary ant, using antennae instead of compound eyes and touch instead of vision.
The texture coming from the tentacles made Zhu Jue realize that he was now climbing on the previous human communicator, but for some reason, the plane of this communicator was vertical. Either he somehow reached the edge of the communicator, or The communicator was turned over completely.
Zhu Jue fumbled for a while and finally determined that the communicator was attached vertically to a huge stone. Zhu Jue had already touched the surface of the same vertical "stone".
What made Zhu Jue even more surprised, frightened, and mixed with all kinds of complicated emotions was that he noticed that his body was itching, as if something was sticking to the surface of his body. When he probed his tentacles, they turned out to be twisted line-like objects.
I've been parasitized! ? This was Zhu Jue's idea, but when he came to this parasitic nest, he prepared for the worst. Now, at least he hasn't lost his sense of self, like that time before! ?
That’s not the worst case scenario!
Zhu Jue was not in a hurry to deal with those parasitic hyphae. If the memory he unearthed was correct, these hyphae would not cause any harm to himself and would slowly shrink and die on their own.
The top priority now is to figure out what happened during the period when he was unconscious and where he was transferred.
Zhu Jue thought that his fainting period was short before, but it seemed that was not the case now. He had been groping around for a while, climbed down from the communication device and the round "stone", and touched the ground.
This nest room is very big. At least the area that Zhu Jue walked through has exceeded the size of an apple. The floor and walls are covered with dirt. This is definitely not the small nest covered with white pebbles that Zhu Jue stayed in before he fell into coma. Small nest room.
Zhu Jue began to feel along the wall, trying to find the entrances and exits. These entrances and exits were usually at the root of the wall.
Soon, he found the entrance and exit, got out, and moved along the dark and narrow passage. The road was as complicated as a maze.
However, as he walked, Zhu Jue felt an eerie familiarity. The roads here were wet and muddy everywhere. The roads in his mind forked, merged, and turned. The map slowly pieced together in Zhu Jue's mind. It felt familiar. The feeling is getting stronger and stronger, as if such a nest's internal road network has been experienced somewhere.
Although ant nests are similar and have similar structures and functional divisions, the internal paths of all nests cannot be exactly the same, but are varied, as unique as a person's fingerprint. In particular, many small roads and forked roads are built by worker ants based on their own instincts. There is not much planning, and they cannot build them horizontally or vertically.
Therefore, in theory, there are no two nests with exactly the same road network, and even a small section of the traffic network is unlikely to have the same direction.
But now, Zhu Jue clearly felt that the direction of this road was very familiar. He deliberately turned into a nearby path and then turned back, constantly exploring. This feeling of familiarity still existed, but it was a little blurry, as if it was a long-lasting dusty memory. , so that he has been unable to remember which road in the nest this is, and he cannot tell whether it is his own memory or the old road in the memory read by himself.
If it was his own forgotten memory, wasn't he in a parasite camp? Why are you familiar with the roads here? Could it be that "Parasite Roll" and the others built this camp based on a certain nest they were familiar with?
Zhu Jue was thinking wildly as he kept moving upward. In the nest, he never encountered other parasites, as if the place had become an empty nest, leaving only the mud and moisture on the ground.
It was just an empty nest. Zhu Jue groped carefully and even the smell of pheromones on the ground was very weak. Not only was there no trace of short-acting pheromones, long-acting pheromones only remained in some areas. Except for I can barely identify that this is the pheromone secreted by ants, but I can't read any other useful information.
Why does it feel like the pheromones in this lair have been there for more than half a year! ?
Zhu Jue was very puzzled. The ant nest should be densely filled with various types of pheromones, long-term and short-term, to guide some ants who are not familiar with the road to accurately go to the warehouse, nursery or other destinations. These pheromones are constantly replenished, and only in abandoned nests will the pheromones gradually disappear.
As a superior, Zhu Jue rarely directly explores these pheromones. Now that he is in a strange yet familiar environment, and cannot see his surroundings clearly, Zhu Jue unconsciously begins to use the instinct of ants. He is not good at this, so It was even more confusing.
He made a bold guess. Did he faint for a very long time, even as long as half a year? Then the parasites left, leaving themselves here alone.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue shuddered. If this was really the case, although he was lucky not to starve to death, but it had been so long, Zhu Jue was particularly worried about his subordinates - he still didn't know that he had lost the civilized ant tribe coalition forces and ants he was in charge of. What has become of the United Nations now!
Could it be that the parasitic army moved itself away and then started to attack after spring? Zhu Jue was extremely anxious, feeling that without his own command, the civilized ant alliance was probably in disarray again and would not be able to exert its full combat effectiveness. Once the Black Creek defense line is breached, not only will the Black Fire Ant Country be in danger, but even the Ant Alliance itself will be threatened.
So Zhu Jue became even more anxious. He hurriedly found the way, and finally found the main passage. He didn't care about the mud under his feet, and rolled up and climbed out of the ground.
Zhu Jue was stunned when he came outside.
At this time, he was standing in front of a perfectly round hill that looked like a round bread. The hill was completely covered with snow, like a piece of soft coconut bread.
The snow hills are surrounded by a large area of frozen water, with land and water crisscrossing the surrounding area, showing an exotic style.
At Zhu Jue's feet, a puddle of frozen water was like a mirror, reflecting Zhu Jue's current face.
After Zhu Jue looked at it, he hurriedly touched his whole body and was stunned...
