The protagonist lies on the silk bed, swaying regularly with the pace of the soldier ants who serve as the sedan chair driver. The scenery along the way is not beautiful at all, and humans can enjoy the scenery such as grasslands, rivers, forests, and oceans along the way. The ants are too short, except for sparse vegetation or higher ground, other times when they look down can only see the soil, and when they look up, they are full of grass and leaves, surrounded by boulders and giant trees, although they are full of exotic atmosphere, but they are not pleasing to the eye.

The feeling of boredom is accompanied by the rhythmic swing of the silk bed underneath, and the protagonist quickly falls asleep as if lying on a cradle.

After a short nap without a calm sound, the protagonist wakes up, and he feels the soldiers under him stop moving.

When the protagonist looks up, the secretary and the four strong soldier ants in front of him also stop, and not far ahead, a small yellow worker ant emerges from a low fern leaf and looks at the protagonist. This worker ant is definitely not part of the protagonist's team.

Although the ants have poor eyesight, their vision is sensitive to moving objects, and in the afternoon sun, this strange worker ant apparently spotted the protagonist.

"Damn, we're not going to break into another ant nest!" The protagonist was taken aback, when the protagonist made a defense plan, he ignored the possibility of conflict with other ant groups, if this fights, more than thirty ants on his side are not the opponent of the opponent's entire nest army, and it will be destroyed in less than a glass of water.

The protagonist nervously looks at the secretary, but finds that the secretary is very calm.

The strange worker ant jumped directly from the fern leaf, landed lightly on the ground, and quickly crawled towards Xiao Mi. The Zhuang 1 beside the little secretary made a slightly defensive posture. And after the little secretary communicated with the strange worker ants' tentacles, the strange worker ants turned their heads and left, and Zhuang 1 and the others put away their guard posture.

Under the leadership of the little secretary, the team moved forward again. The protagonist can't resist his curiosity, jumps off the silk bed, and runs over to ask the secretary.

"That ant is also our nest? Why are you running so far? ”

"Not from our lair." The little secretary replied, "Another secondary nest." ”

"Side-nest?" The protagonist is curious: "It's the opposite of the main nest." Our nest is also a secondary nest. Why is it called a secondary nest?"

"There are very few queens and kings in the nests built later, and there are not many soldier ants and worker ants."

Well, although the little secretary's statement is very brief, the protagonist also roughly understands that the main nest and the secondary nest are roughly the difference between the main base and the sub-base.

It's still very interesting to communicate with this little secret, the other male ants are more difficult to meet and have little chance to communicate, and the soldier ants and worker ants are too stupid. Only the secretary can understand many of the protagonist's questions and answer them.

"Do we have a lot of side nests?" The protagonist continues to ask questions like a curious baby.

"Lots of side nests." The secretary replied that it was obvious that the ants were not very good at math and could not give a specific number.

"A lot is how much ......"

The ...... secretary couldn't answer this question, and his mind fell into confusion.

"Okay, okay, don't dwell on this, you'll burn your head out in a while." The protagonist had to change the subject: "How many side nests will we pass along the way?"

"One, two, three, three." The little secret arithmetic was very interesting, and she used her antennae to tap a few times on her forelimbs and mouth claws, and gave an answer.

"Hey, by the way, why are there secondary nests along the way, and we have to spend the night in the wild?" The protagonist discovers another problem, the last time Mulan went to the main nest, she dug a hole in the wild for the night.

"At night, I'm not in the secondary nest."

Well, the protagonist roughly understands. It's afternoon, they're just approaching a secondary nest, and by the evening they're within range of any of them. The brainless ants didn't even think about speeding up to the next secondary nest in advance, or resting for half a day in the previous secondary nest. They would rather burrow and spend the night wherever they go.

As I walked on, I encountered more and more ants, all of which were worker ants who were busy collecting building materials and food, and soldier ants rarely appeared on the ground without enemies or huge prey.

These are the ants of the secondary nest, although there is no entrance to the secondary nest all the way, but there are so many ants roaming nearby, so the safety factor is greatly increased. Ants are more effective when they still appear in swarms.

The small team didn't deal with these relatives too much, and verified each other's identities with the illuminated ants, and the team continued without interfering with each other.

The scenery on the side of the road is still much the same, except that the sun is slanting in the west little by little. By the time the sun was close to the distant horizon, the ants were far away from the previous nest, and there was no trace of their relatives nearby. The corridor of the sun is obscured by grass and leaves, and the whole picture is no longer visible.

At this point, the secretary stops and asks the protagonist if he should set up camp. The protagonist thinks about it, and if you set up camp and dig a hole now, everyone will be able to hide in a safe underground before it gets completely dark. It is indeed amazing that these ants have no sense of time, but they can rely on their instincts to leave plenty of time to camp.

The protagonist agrees to set up camp, and the secretary immediately leads the worker ants to dig a hole under a mossy stone. The protagonist also quickly unloaded the vehicle on Force 1-10, and while watching the work of the ant construction team, he ate a little sunflower seed kernel to replenish his strength.

The workers were incredibly efficient, and soon dug a tunnel that sloped downward, facing south, so that the first rays of sunlight would enter the burrow tomorrow.

As the daylight fades, the protagonist noticeably feels the wind getting stronger, and even the vehicles on the ground are shaking. It seems that there is no way to leave these bags out for a safe night. The protagonist prepares to carry the vehicle into the cave as well.

The cave has been dug at this time, and the protagonist discovers something wrong before he goes down. The hole they dug could only accommodate two worker ants moving side by side, and the size of the vehicle could not be moved in. These ants have built their nests based on previous experience. The protagonist orders the worker ants to enlarge the hole.

Xiao Mi ran over and conveyed his dissatisfaction: "If the hole is too big, it will be dangerous. ”

Indeed, the larger the opening, the easier it is to be detected by the enemy, and it is not conducive to defense. But the protagonist has no intention of changing his mind.

After the construction is completed, the protagonist and the entire team go down to the makeshift camp with their vehicles and luggage. This simple overnight camp is a straight tunnel connecting to a larger nest chamber, and if the soil is cut open, the camp is shaped like a typical hammer.

The inside of the camp is enough for all the ants to lie comfortably on their stomachs, and the protagonist sleeps on a silk bed by himself, allowing a few soldier ants to block the other vehicles in the doorway, as an improvised defensive obstacle.

"Now, let's all sleep." The protagonist forcibly ordered the ants to run for a day without taking a nap, just so that they could make up for a long sleep. The protagonist can't stand the fact that these guys wander around after a nap while he sleeps, which will seriously affect the protagonist's rest.
