Chapter 399: Harvest Season
(In the plot at the end of the previous chapter, many friends talked to me privately, thinking that I described the intelligence of bees too high, and even populism came out, which is not at all like the intelligence level that a fourth-level Warcraft can achieve.)
But...... Friends, the bees in reality have this kind of special behavior of rebelling when they have nothing to do and killing their own queen? Not to mention the invasion of foreign enemies, as long as the food is not abundant and the happiness index of the bee colony members declines, the queen is likely to be dragged by her own children and grandchildren to sacrifice to the sky!)
..........................................................................................
Actions under the influence of ignorance are often more cruel than mere cruelty, and they also have a reckless and rude atmosphere.
A few seconds ago, she was still 'a true warrior who fights against obedient bees,' 'the great hero of all bees,' and 'the development direction of the hive's advanced combat effectiveness,' and enjoys the respect and love of her fellow clans; but a few seconds later, the situation reversed 180 degrees, and the queen of the big needle bee, who had made a major mistake, was disgusted and spurned in the blink of an eye, and became an 'incompetent waste' and 'a stinky old nine who will be swept into the garbage heap of history' Negative factors that affect the development of advanced combat effectiveness! Not to mention continuing to be a queen, even a small life will be lost!
There are nearly a thousand needle bees that surround the queen's body and hover in mid-air to keep their relative positions unchanged, lest the air flow produce wind and affect the rise in temperature, and then give the queen a chance to breathe!
If you look closely, you will find that the big needle bees that besieged the queen are faintly divided into eight camps, and at the front of each camp, there is an underdeveloped virgin queen bee leader! It is under the guidance and instigation of these alternate queen bees with relatively large abdomen that those ordinary worker bees are so fanatical!
Aware of this, and then thinking of the commotion in the bee colony just now, the trend of thought was unified at a completely unreasonable speed, and the spearhead of resentment was directed at the current queen, which made people wonder if there were some 'supports' of the alternate queen in the riot just now! These trusts were mixed in the ordinary bee colony, waving flags and shouting for their respective masters, so as to achieve the purpose of the unspeakable bees!
"Sometimes I really hate, I hate why I have a pair of eyes with such a tricky perspective!" Zero couldn't bear to look at it, and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and said with a painful and gloomy voice: "The deeper you come into contact with the Warcraft, the more you understand the most real side of the Warcraft, the more the good memories of childhood are shattered, and the more difficult it is to say the analogy of using animals as examples......
Starfish stretch their limbs and dance to measure the size of their prey and see if they can swallow it;
The heads and necks of snails intersect not because they have good feelings and lick each other, but because they are competing in marksmanship to decide who inserts whom;
Some male birds are more elegant than female birds, not because they are rich and handsome among birds, but because they are studying "On How to Be an Excellent Pseudo-Niang";
Now, even the 'industrious little bees' written in elementary school textbooks are not pure, and have become a disgusting combination of 'dirty politicians who incite the people in order to succeed in ascending to the throne' and 'thugs who are instigated to destroy and make a revolution after a few casual strokes'! It's really disgusting, it's disgusting! It's just as disgusting as the second generation who fired black guns at each other during the election of the Shik-hui-ism helmsman! (Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about Chaoxian!)"
"It's a little dark, but it's not something unacceptable. Because he was indifferent to the modern magical society on the mainland, Ling Mo's reaction was much calmer than that of Zero: "In a hive, only one queen is generally allowed, once there are multiple queens, it means that some of the functions of the old queen have degraded, and they want to eat the newly born *** queen bee for 'food supplement'! Even if it is for self-preservation, the alternate queens must make this decision, not to mention that they still want to kill the old queen, ascend the throne themselves and then make a fortune?"
"But...... The scouts have fled, and will soon lead a large group of bees back to destroy them!" Zero's voice was full of lament and anger: "In this case, the big needle bees are not thinking about how to preserve the materials in the nest as much as possible, so that as many people as possible can survive after abandoning the nest and migrating......, but are trying their best to fight for power and profit! Don't they really understand the truth that there are no eggs under the nest?"
"Every dictatorial ruler is extremely selfish. The nest was destroyed and the people died in large numbers, what about those newly-born virgin queen bees?they just need to live themselves!" Removing any disguise, Ling Mo's language was straightforward and cold:
"If the hive is destroyed, it will be destroyed, anyway, as long as there is a group of worker bees willing to follow him, don't care if you can build a safe haven before the cold night, the safety of the queen bee will not be affected, if there is really no way, release pheromones that affect the thinking of the worker bees, and forcibly let them flap their wings around themselves to keep themselves warm! It's better to say that this is better, being squeezed outside to accept the cold night and cold wind, it must be the old, weak, sick and disabled in the worker bees, and when the dawn comes, the new queen will only be left with the elite soldiers who have undergone a cruel test.
"Ridiculous! This is simply ridiculous!" Zero shook his head violently, very unwilling to accept this fact: "Use the method of increasing mortality and eliminating vulnerable groups to improve the quality of the population and create a false social prosperity! No wonder bees were highly socialized tens of millions of years ago, and they have not really evolved to the next stage of intelligent creatures!"
"It can't be helped, that's the way it is, it's ridiculous to tear off the glossy coat and boast of the god-like 'highly social bees'. Thank you for being born as a human being, and it is precisely because human society allows individuals who have lost the ability to work to continue to exist that they have gradually progressed, evolved, and stood out from the many magical beasts. Ling Mo's voice carried some emotion, mixed with a little imperceptible sigh:
"The scene just now, if you analyze it a little deeper, do you think the eight alternate queens have conflicts of interest with each other, but they all choose to agitate their subordinates and launch a mob at the same time, intending to kill the current queen, so seamlessly and smoothly cooperating?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zero thought of the reason: "If the old queen is not killed, with its accumulated power in the worker bee colony over the years, there may not be enough worker bees to respond to the call of the queen-elect, and each queen-elect may not be able to take away a sufficient number of 'cannon fodder' to let them flap their wings and warm themselves in the cold night......! It's so boring that it's a boring answer. ”
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about these boring things. Sensing that Zero's mood was a little low, Ling Mo smiled and bowed his hand, signaling that the discussion at the social level would end here: "After the analysis just now, only if the current old queen survives, will there be as many ordinary bees as possible in the big needle bee population." Maybe the old queen and the new queen do the same, when the cold night comes, they let the worker bees flap their wings to keep it warm, but when the old queen exists, the needle bees only need to pay one casualty, and if the old queen dies, the needle bees will have to pay eight casualties. ”
Under the embarrassed gaze of No. Zero, Ling Mo changed his words, sucked his saliva and said:
"So, we must save the old queen! This is for the sake of the safety of the lives of the vast majority of the big needle bees, and it is definitely not because if the old queen dies, the new queen will not care about injecting digestive enzymes into the captured bees for a while, resulting in me not being able to eat delicious bees, so I will save the old queen's sucking!"
Zero & Pikachu: "...... Really?"
"Really, look at my sincere eyes...... Ling Mo rubbed his right hand lightly while being serious nonsense, rubbing out an air bullet, and then flicked his fingers lightly! After a loud explosion, the 'bee cocoon' that surrounded the old queen suddenly broke open a big hole, and in the next second, the old queen's hideous face suddenly squeezed out of the gap!
It can be seen that the old queen is in a very bad state now, I don't know whether it is because of the heat or because of the difficulty of breathing, the size of her head is fully double that of the first sight! The compound eyes on both sides protrude outward, looking like two bunches of ripe purple grapes, crumbling, and people can't help but worry that they will come out of the frame! The eyes are still good, the mouthparts are even more miserable, several chelicerae are squeezed together, completely losing their original cylindrical form, twisted like a twisted flower, and still dripping blood!
Originally, the old queen was already a little desperate and wanted to accept her fate, and it even began to wonder if her rule was really so unbearable, and whether she should really apologize to the whole clan's big needle bees! Just as it began to reflect on its past cruelty and repent of its actions, Ling Mo's air bomb happened to come and suddenly exploded a big hole in front of its eyes!
At this moment, all the reflections, apologies, and repentances were thrown out of the clouds by the old queen! The slightly cold air flow poured in, greatly reducing the temperature of its body, and also bringing precious fresh air to it! Its head and body were returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and due to the increase in temperature and the weakening caused by the destruction of the homeostasis of the internal environment, the strong force returned to the old queen's body again, and it stretched out six rough arthropods, vibrating the wings behind it, Shaking the fat abdomen, of course, shook the clansmen's 'burn hell', regained freedom again, and restored the state of domination of the world when they first met!
At this moment, the population of the giant needle bee fell silent again, those who flapped their wings did not flutter their wings, those who shouted and cheered did not dare to make a sound, and the few alternate queens who fanned the flames were even more eager to get into the deepest part of the bee colony, hoping that the old queen would not see herself at all! However, the irony appeared, no matter where the eight alternate queens flew, all the worker bees there scattered in a hurry, and none of them dared to get close to the alternate queens within a meter!
Social, too social.
There was really nowhere to hide, and under the forced gaze of the old queen, the eight alternate queens went crazy one by one out of fear in their hearts!
There was a vacuum among the thousands of needle bees, and in it, only the majestic old queen looked coldly at these eight 'juniors' who wanted to kill it! The next moment, it opened its rotten mouthparts, raised its head to the sky and let out a sharp scream, and then 'shook its body' and launched its ultimate skill-
Overlord color domineering!!
The invisible aura swept by, and in mid-air, the eight challengers closest to it didn't say a word, and their bodies were directly frozen in the air, and then fell from the air like a stone that couldn't move! With Zero's keen spiritual sense, he could naturally sense that at this moment, all the life breath of the eight alternate queens disappeared directly, and their souls were directly dispersed and shattered!
In addition to these eight challengers, after the other big needle bees were swept by this skill, their bodies also fell, and they fell slightly to a height, and then regained their freedom. Since then, not a single big needle bee dared to fly at the same height as the old queen, and they involuntarily lowered their bodies to show their submission to the old queen who had returned from the king, waiting for the king to judge the previous betrayal!
While all the big needle bees were waiting anxiously, the old queen swept the whole audience with cold eyes like knives, and saw that every big needle bee was trembling! Unexpectedly, after the old queen finished warning, her rotten mouthparts squirmed, and she only said lightly:
"Sneer~~~~~~~~~"
The first evildoers have been punished, and as long as the other clansmen continue to obey my rule, this matter will be turned over, and the past will not be blamed. I will not punish you, because the next cold night is coming, my clansmen, please do your best to fight for survival.
After saying that, the old queen fluttered her wings and flew towards the dozen or so obedient bees that had been caught and roasted to death, intending to inject her digestive enzymes and eat them to replenish her energy when she returned to the nest, in preparation for the coming severe test.
Dozens of seconds ago, the old queen was still roasted alive by the clansmen, struggling for her life, but now after being liberated, she can actually do only the first evil, pick it up high and put it down gently, this demeanor and cultivation is simply amazing!
Just as Zero was thinking of many outstanding kings in human history from this old queen, her nose suddenly twitched automatically, catching a refreshing fragrance! This fragrance can be said to have hooked her soul out, making her temporarily lose the ability to think rationally!
Suddenly turning around, from the perspective of Zero, he saw that Ling Mo was holding six or seven obedient bees strung together in one hand, and he was looking at this full harvest affectionately, his face was full of impatience. Farther away, the old queen, who had almost squeezed out all the digestive enzymes in her stomach before she had finished disposing of the 'spoils', raised her head weakly and looked around blankly:
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
