After receiving the message, the protagonist rushes to the entrance of the lair. A squad of male ants has already returned.

The protagonist sees that the male ants of this squad are not the rolls or Rambos he is familiar with, but a male ant who once showed bravery in the counteroffensive war against the paver ants.

The team actually brought back a cockroach and a mealworm at the same time.

The cockroach is a long, flattened insect with a yellowish-brown carapace and chestnut elytra, about a centimeter long, most notably a pair of toothed tails with a thick and long tail. Cockroaches prefer to live in damp and dark environments such as in the cracks of tree bark, in decaying wood, or under fallen leaves, and feed on plant flowers and leaves, carrion, or small insects.

And mealworms, also known as breadworms, are the larvae of mealworms. Mealworms are rich in nutrition, dry products contain 30% fat, protein content up to 50%, in addition to phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, aluminum and other macro elements and a variety of trace elements, known as "protein feed treasure house". It is commonly cultivated as fodder and food in human society. Many fitness people take other protein powders that contain mealworm protein.

This unfortunate cockroach was about to successfully kill a mealworm when it was discovered by the hunting team, and the original hunter became food for the ants along with the prey.

The protagonist is full of interest in mealworms, which are docile, miscellaneous, fertile and nutritious, and are simply the best choice for ants as domestic animals.

The protagonist asks the male where he found the mealworm, and the male sends the protagonist a packet of information about its location, which is a depression a few dozen meters north of the nest.

The wedding ceremony has to continue, the protagonist signals the little secretary to evaluate and count the prey, the little secretary runs over and pats the corpse of the cockroach with his tentacles, circles around, turns around and puts two gravels in his mouth and puts them in a square. She thinks it's an effective medium-sized prey. And mealworms, she also gave a rating to medium-sized prey.

Seeing that she did the right thing, the protagonist reaches over and praises it, and then asks the worker ants to carry the prey into the grain. Then the male ant who had come out on top set off again.

The protagonist stares at the entrance of the lair, and Xiao Mi has evaluated and counted the three teams that have returned with the prey, confirming that she is capable of the job, and finally relaxes.

The secretary is in charge of counting, and the construction site of the combustion chamber and harem is working according to plan, and the protagonist suddenly has nothing to do. After thinking about it, the protagonist goes back to the nest and calls out to twenty soldier ants, and together they go to the place where the mealworms were found.

The protagonist raised hamsters when he was still a human, and he has also been in close contact with mealworms, and knows that this insect is easy to feed, even if it is an ant's ability, it can be stocked or kept in captivity. If some live mealworms can be caught, then animal husbandry can be launched, which can be described as an agricultural revolution for the big-headed ant kingdom, which is extremely dependent on gathering and hunting for food.

According to the information pack given by the male ant, the protagonist heads all the way north, and there are pheromone marks left by the male ant's team along the way, and the protagonist will not get lost.

This target area has never been to the protagonist before, it is a depression of hundreds of square meters, and the protagonist estimates that this depression is three or four meters lower than the altitude near the nest.

There are no big trees or shrubs in the depression, just a lot of weeds growing in the east and west. A lot of stinky water had accumulated in the pits on the ground, and the water inside had turned black, green and shiny, which made the neighborhood smell very unpleasant. The protagonist and his guards carefully avoid the stinky pool, searching for mealworms nearby.

Eventually, the protagonist finds two mealworms on a backlit "rock" that appears to be eating the "rock" beneath them.

The protagonist is a little strange.,Although mealworms have a very mixed diet.,But it's impossible to survive by eating stones.。 He cautiously approached with his escort, not alarming the two mealworms.

The protagonist feels the appearance of this stone with his antennae, there is no cold feeling of the stone, and it is slightly soft, what is this?

No matter how much, the protagonist decides to subdue these two mealworms first, and take them back to captivity. In the future, the residents of "Dongyang City" will have a stable diet of high-quality meat.

As soon as the protagonist gave the order, the soldiers immediately pounced on the mealworms. The two mealworms tried to flee after being attacked, but were soon bitten by multiple soldier ants. The mealworms began to roll around trying to shake off the ants, but to no avail.

The protagonist watched from the side for a long time, and the ants were given the order to capture alive and did not dare to die. And mealworms have been struggling and seem untamable.

The protagonist sees that there is no way to continue such a stalemate, and the ants around him are not enough to subdue the two resisting mealworms alive and carry them back to the nest. In desperation, the protagonist had to let the guards bite the two bugs to death.

After killing the mealworm, the protagonist climbs up the strange "big rock", and he notices a gap in it that has been gnawed by the mealworm, revealing the material inside the stone.

If you look closely, the gray-black stone on the outside is actually light blue after being gnawed out, and there is a grainy feeling on the inside, but the protagonist still can't tell what kind of material it is.

The protagonist didn't bother to bother with this "stone", he first left two corpses of mealworms, and led the guards to search for mealworm eggs nearby, but found nothing, so he had to take the corpses and go back first.

It's already afternoon, and when he returns to the entrance to the lair, the protagonist notices that all thirty-two squares are already covered with more or less white gravel.

The protagonist asks the guards to carry the mealworm corpse into the granary, and he himself runs to the secretary and asks which one is the grid of Roll and Rambo.

When there are no male ants near the entrance to the nest, the protagonist quickly places some white gravel into the cell where they roll, and soon there is significantly more sand in these cells than the others.

Xiao Mi looked at the protagonist's every move suspiciously, and the protagonist didn't explain to her, so as not to bring her innocent. The protagonist and the secretary said that they were not allowed to tell the other ants about it, and although the secretary didn't know why, he agreed.

Soon it was dusk, and the sun was gradually sinking below ground level. All the males came back with the team one after another.

After the males are gathered, the protagonist disbands all the squads, and he personally takes the males to count the amount of gravel one by one.

Soon the results came out: roll first, Rambo Fei second, Rambo Wan third, Rambo Buddha fourth, Rambose fifth, Rambo Tube sixth, Ramberray seventh. These are all thanks to the protagonist's help in cheating.

The eighth to twelfth places are ranked according to the actual number of prey, and the male ant who led the team to catch the cockroach and mealworm is ranked eighth (actually first), which impresses the protagonist. The protagonist simply gave him the name "Zhang Fei".

Twenty other males failed again, and they looked frustrated. The protagonist comforts them that they can still participate in the wedding flight ceremony next year, so that they can ease down.
