Following the two little ants, the protagonist walks out along the winding passage with the irascible winged ant, and at first there are almost no other ants in sight, only the monotonous earthy cave walls. So the protagonist took the opportunity to catch up and touch the two little ants with his antennae. Unfortunately, the results are still disappointing, these little ants are like fixed programs, they can only repeat one instruction, and there is no response to the various questions of the protagonist, whether simple or complex.

The protagonist retreats back in frustration, and suddenly turns his head to look at the grumpy winged ant. "I'll see if you can communicate, we're compatriots!" The protagonist thinks to himself.

As he spoke, the protagonist immediately approached and waved his tentacles against the other's tentacles.

"Uh......"

The protagonist has just sent a "hello" in the past, and the opposite side has already returned with a signal mixed with disdain, disgust, and laziness to communicate, which must be translated in human language, and if you pursue "Xindaya", you can reluctantly translate this emotional signal as "roll". Well, this translation of the letter and Da is in line with it, but it doesn't look elegant at all.

Although this irascible winged ant has a really difficult personality to communicate, the protagonist is still happy, and this emotional response proves that his winged kind is not like those little ants, and he is obviously capable of communicating. After all, you have to be wise enough to have a temper and character!

"I'll tell you to get out of here." The protagonist thinks to himself, "You're the first ant I've ever known!" ”。

At this time, under the guidance of two small ants, the path has reached the end, and the end suddenly opens up, a spacious and multi-underground passage crosses the front, this main passage can accommodate dozens of small ants to pass through at the same time, and sparse fluorescent bacteria are dotted on the walls and ceilings on both sides of the passage. One end of the passage sloped upward, and in the distance there was an exit filled with a blinding light, golden and warm, eclipsing the cold glow of fluorescent bacteria. "That's the ground!" The protagonist sighed that his pursuit of light in his previous life made him stop, "Do you want to climb up?" ”。

In the other section, the bend extends underground, and countless paths are connected to the main passage, and many ants like the little ants leading the way go in and out of the passage and various holes. In addition to the small ants, there are also ants that are slightly larger than the small ants, but smaller than the main character, they have a striking huge head, and the large crow in front of the iconic mouth is huge and sturdy, and it will be uncomfortable to be stung in it.

The protagonist finally determines that the little ants leading the way are worker ants, and those with big heads are soldier ants, which are also what the protagonist said when he was a child, "Ant General." ”

These worker and soldier ants traveled busily and methodically back and forth, some of them on all six legs, carrying the thing alone or in combination. Some of them are on all fours in the back, but the first two limbs are doing other things, such as holding those glowing fungi and planting them in dimly lit places.

"It turns out that these underground light sources are artificial...... No, it was planted by ant workers. The protagonist exclaimed, "This is already an agricultural civilization, it's really a refinement!" ”

The main passage was bustling but orderly, and the little worker ants leading the way turned their heads along the main passage and crawled underground. The protagonist was stunned for a short while, and the three ants had already crawled away for a short time. The protagonist hurriedly followed, and if he didn't follow, he didn't know where he could go now, so if he came, he would be safe, and his strong desire to go to the ground was temporarily suppressed.

The protagonist's hurried forward behavior affects many of the worker and soldier ants that move normally in the vicinity, and their tentacles sweep over the eager protagonist, occasionally touching the protagonist's tentacles but the protagonist does not receive any information. "Sure enough, it's the same as the program, it's scanning me!" The protagonist endures the discomfort - after all, it feels too strange to be tentacled by a lot of ants, but fortunately there are no nerves on the carapace - while catching up with three ants.

When catching up with the teammates, the two little worker ants in front of them didn't find that the protagonist was almost lost again, and "roll", it was the short-tempered winged ant, but curiously turned around and swept the protagonist's tentacles with its antennae, "Don't follow, why!" He sent this message, the protagonist didn't think about how to answer, and after a moment of silence, the protagonist turned back: "Everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober!" ”

“@#?？??？” , The message replied to was full of doubts and unsolvable signals, after all, it was too demanding for an ant to understand Tang Shi. However, it has also been proved that these winged ants are able to think and respond to information that does not understand the meaning, unlike the automatic worker ants and soldier ants.

The little worker ant walked for a while, and stopped at a fork in the road, this fork in the road is not the same as the narrow path entrance when it came, and most of the same path entrances are not the same as most of the surrounding paths, although this entrance is not large, but the number of fluorescent bacteria at the entrance and inside is obviously more than other places, and there are four soldier ants in the hole along the fixed direction in a circle, as if on duty and patrol.

A small worker ant came to the entrance of the cave, but the soldier ants on duty stopped her, the soldiers fell on all fours, raised their front limbs and antennae, opened their mouths widely, their abdomen and waist shook violently, and the sound of file rubbing was full of warning.

The little worker ant immediately stopped, and also shook its waist and abdomen, making a rapid fricative.

After a while, a small worker ant ran out of the hole, and after waving its tentacles to communicate with the two worker ants outside the door, it came to the protagonist and Roll, and put the tentacles over.

"King, follow me." The same message came from a new worker ant. Then she turned and crawled towards the entrance of the cave, but the soldiers did not stop her.

Roll is the first to follow, and the protagonist also hurriedly follows. The soldiers turned a blind eye to the two ants. As soon as the protagonist turns his head, the two small worker ants have turned around and merged into the colony in the main passage, and they are soon unrecognizable.
