The protagonist returns to the gutter with the guards.

As a rule, all nest gutters are located next to important nest chambers to prevent them from being flooded, such as the queen ant's dormitory where they live and lay their eggs!

When I searched for this drain before, the protagonist felt that he had come to an end, so he turned his head back, and now I think that the drain is a good breakthrough, and sure enough, it is still a fixed thinking that kills people, after all, humans generally don't regard drains as roads (except for some movie plots). The protagonist decides to try his luck by climbing up the drain.

A line of ants climbed up the rough pipe wall along the almost vertical drainage with a huge inclination, and there was no paving ant activity at all, which was indeed the best way to dive. In terms of concealment and infiltration, it plays the same role as the ventilation ducts in buildings in modern movies.

After climbing a short distance, the protagonist finds the first hole that joins the drain, and the protagonist leans over and quietly pokes his head into the hole. Inside the cave is a dark and quiet tunnel, with no paver ants.

So the protagonist and the escort team climbed in, searched along the tunnel, and soon found two granaries with nothing else to gain. This road can't move forward, and the protagonist sees a larger passage at the end of the tunnel not far away, and countless paving ants are running down from above, apparently to support the battlefield at the bottom.

Of course, this stealth infiltration team can't challenge the enemy army like Rambo, so the protagonist has to continue to take the escort back to the drainage channel and continue to climb up. Soon a second drain was found.

Draw a scoop by the gourd again.,The protagonist's line probe investigates the situation.,This time there's a paving ant lying on its stomach not far away.,It seems to have something in its mouth.,It's facing away from the protagonist.,I don't know what I'm doing.。 The protagonist immediately orders Mulan to lean over and sneak up on the hapless paving ant from behind, cutting off her head in one bite.

The protagonist then moves closer, and he sees clearly that the dead paver ant has a half-eaten egg next to it, and the color of the egg is abnormally dull gray, apparently the dead ant egg is being recycled as food.

"Ant eggs?" The protagonist thinks to himself that he had found a lot of ant pupae and larvae before, but he never found the eggs. The eggs are usually not too far away from the queen, and after the queen gives birth to an egg, the worker ants place the eggs in a nearby nest. It is not until the eggs become larvae that they are placed in other more suitable nests for feeding and harvesting of silk.

Unfortunately, the paver ant is dead, and even if she is not, the protagonist does not know how to interrogate her, so there is no way to know where she got the dead ant eggs for food. Now I can only look around.

There is also a narrow passage diagonally up between the corpse of the paving ant and the drain, which the protagonist decides to search with his guards.

Along this narrow passage, the more the protagonist walks through it, the more they can smell a slightly sour and stinking smell in the air, which is different from the smell of other parts of the secondary nest.

"There's something weird here." The protagonist thinks to himself.

Soon the straight and narrow tunnel came to an end, and there were no other forks in the road along the way. The protagonist pokes out and sees a scene that makes him happy.

Ant eggs, a large number of ant eggs, crowded with each other, are placed on the floor of the nest at the end of the narrow tunnel. This nest is larger, and four paver ants pick up the eggs one by one, wipe them with their mouthparts, and then put them down.

This is an ant egg house, and if you guess correctly, the queen's dormitory is nearby. However, if you need to move on, you must eliminate all four paver ants in the nest at the same time, and if you let any of them escape or raise the alarm, it will alarm the guards to come and intercept them, and with the twenty guards around the protagonist, not only will they not be able to complete the mission, but they may also be in danger.

The protagonist calculates that the biggest advantage of his side is that the observation range is farther than the enemy, and if you plan it well, it is still possible to kill all the enemies quietly.

The protagonist has Mulan quietly drip a small drop of secretion at the entrance of the hole, and then all the ants retract into the hole, leaving the protagonist with their heads sticking out to observe.

Soon, a nearby paver ant smelled a special smell, which did not belong to her own group, like the smell of the enemy, but it was very faint, not faint enough to arouse her vigilance, and she wondered if there was a carcass of a big-headed ant nearby that had not been properly stored in the granary. While thinking so, the paving ant worker ant groped for the source of the scent, and approached the protagonist step by step in the darkness.

Right now, the protagonist turns his head and touches the tentacles with Mulan and the other soldier ant, and Mulan who receives the order and they rush up to the hole in an instant, one bites the head of the paving ant worker ant, crushing her to the ground, and the other quickly cuts off her neck. All this happened quietly and quietly in the dark, without alarming the other three paver ants a little farther away.

Seeing that the method works, the protagonist concocts and subdues another paver ant acting alone. In the end, the two paver ants together were forcibly killed by the big-headed ant soldier ant guards who touched them.

The protagonist sniffs carefully, and the slightly sour smell that he smelled before is coming from some of the eggs in the nest, which differ from the other eggs in that there is a small amount of mucus on the surface. The dead paver ants also have the same slime on their mouthparts, and it looks like they are licking the slime clean.

The eggs are freshly born, and the protagonist immediately realizes that only eggs that have just been laid from the queen's belly will have these mucus, similar to human amniotic fluid. The eggs had just been laid and moved to the nest, and the mucus had not yet been licked or dried, indicating that the queen was indeed nearby.

With this assumption, the protagonist's confidence is greatly increased, and he decides to continue looking ahead, and after confirming the location of the paving ant queen, he summons the Divine Envoy King's Legion to perform the decapitation operation.

The team doesn't even have time to destroy the eggs, so they go out through another exit of this nest, and the tunnel is no longer so dark, and there are more and more fluorescent bacteria on the walls, which is very detrimental to the concealment of the protagonist and his party. The protagonist had to lead the guards all the way forward to destroy the fluorescent bacteria and hide the team in the dark as much as possible.

The protagonist's squad has been operating inside the enemy for so long without being discovered, but there is always a time when good luck runs out. No, when they turned a corner, the team collided head-on with two paver ants holding newborn eggs.

Although Hua Mulan, who was at the head, reacted quickly, she immediately bit the paver ant worker ant in front and pressed it to the ground, and then the companion behind her killed her. But the other paver ant was far behind, and turned and ran away with agility and speed, sending out an alarm smell signal as it ran, and even the ants were left on the ground.

"Not good", the protagonist knows that enemy reinforcements will arrive soon, but there is no news of the paving ant queen yet.

"What to do? Retreat or move on? This conundrum is in front of the protagonist. Retreat, of course, is the safest and safest, but the previous actions have been wasted, and the queen ant who has not killed the enemy will also have a very negative impact on future military operations. If you continue to advance, it will take a little time for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, and if there is still no result at this time and you can't retreat in time, the protagonist may be deeply encircled.

The protagonist looks up and looks forward, the end of the tunnel is not far away, and the cave at the end is unusually bright, not like an ordinary nest, and the escaped paving ants have just burrowed into the light curtain and disappeared.

"Fight!" The protagonist made up his mind fiercely, and he had to rush into the unusually bright nest on the opposite side to see what was going on, otherwise it would be in vain.

The protagonist immediately asked the two soldiers to go back the same way to ask for support, and he quickly rushed to the end of the tunnel with Mulan and other eighteen soldier ants.

As soon as I rushed into the hole, my eyes were full of fluorescent bacteria and the cold glow of the dark orchid, and the huge nest room was like daylight. The protagonist doesn't bother to take a closer look at the underground beauty, and his eyes are fixed on the middle of the nest.

There, some pot-bellied ants were lying on their stomachs unable to move, their stomachs contracted regularly, like layers of waves across the soft abdomen, and the eggs with mucus plopped out of the end of the abdomen, and then the paving ants next to them hurriedly took the eggs away.

These are the queens, one, two, three...... Ten, ten queens are all here. The protagonist's heart is filled with the joy of victory - I found it!

Some of the worker ants who were taking care of the queen turned their heads to look at this side, and with the help of the glow of fluorescent bacteria, they spotted the protagonist's uninvited guests, and hurried towards the entrance of the cave, if it was proved to be an enemy, they would do their best to block the enemy's footsteps.

Other worker ants ran to the queen, who panicked when she was alerted, and began to stop laying eggs, trying to clumsily move their fat bodies out of the nest, which was no longer safe. However, the queen ants who have entered production mode are too fat in their abdomen and move very slowly on their own, so they can only turn to other worker ants to carry them away.

"The queen wants to escape!" The protagonist notices this, which is not good news, as the entire nest has as many as six entrances and exits, and once the queen escapes, it is impossible to find them again.

Now there are not many worker ants around the queen ant guards, only twenty or thirty, which is a good opportunity. The protagonist weighed the strength of the enemy and me, and immediately made a decision and gave the order to attack.

Eighteen soldier ants immediately swooped in groups of three on the paving ant worker ants who were about to block them.

Decapitation operation, start now!
