Chapter Twenty-Eight: Meet the King Again
Sleep until the next day, don't ask me why the protagonist knows it's the next day, even if there is no clock, the sun and moon can't be seen underground. But the biological clock tells the protagonist that it is already another morning.
The protagonist was called up, and Mulan came over and arched the protagonist who was sleeping on his stomach with her head, and the protagonist finally woke up, and learned that the guiding ant he met yesterday was here, just outside the door. The protagonist asked her to bring a letter to Lao Wang yesterday in the hope of an interview, and it seems that there is a result.
Although Mulan is stupid, after a few days of training by the protagonist, she has understood the truth that strangers are not allowed to enter the protagonist's bedroom, and she stops the guiding ants outside.
"Should I fix the door to the house?" The protagonist turns this thought: "The bathroom is too, and it's too troublesome to hold a ball of mud to block the door every time you go to the toilet." ”
The protagonist doesn't forget what he's doing, and he goes out to communicate with the guiding ants. The Guiding Ant tells the protagonist that Wang agrees to meet in the classroom and asks the protagonist to follow her now.
Thinking about the strong soldier ants around Lao Wang last time who threatened him, the protagonist thought about it, and asked Mulan to bring six subordinates, just in case, for fear that the protagonist would be harmless to Lao Wang's heart, and Lao Wang would hurt the protagonist. In the various drama reviews I heard in my last life, didn't there be a scene of ambushing five hundred axes behind the screen.
The protagonist and his party followed the guide ants to the outside of the classroom, and the guide worker ants went in first, and the protagonist followed, but Mulan and the other seven soldier ants were stopped by the soldier ants guarding the door, and the gate guard ants firmly expressed their intention to refuse to let Mulan and them enter.
The protagonist looks inside, and there are only Lao Wang and the guide worker ants in the huge classroom, and there are no strong soldier ants that make the protagonist feel unusually threatening. The protagonist then comforts Mulan and tells them to wait outside, and walks in alone.
Lao Wang stood in the middle of the cobblestone floor of the classroom, motionless, looking particularly calm. The protagonist walks over and prepares to communicate with Wang with his tentacles, but Wang hurriedly takes a step back and places his tentacles against the pebbles.
The protagonist is stunned, isn't this pebble used when you need to talk in a group during class? The protagonist doesn't quite understand how pebbles allow ants to chat in groups, but it should be similar to a cable telegraph. Now only the two male ants need to communicate, and it is much more convenient to directly intersect their antennae than this.
Only two males? The protagonist subconsciously looks at the guide worker ant and realizes that she has also touched her antennae against the cobblestone ground.
"Damn, why does this worker ant have to be mixed with one foot."
But the protagonist has a request from Lao Wang, and he can only accept it. So the protagonist also put his tentacles on the same as in class.
"Why do you want to see me, young male, I don't like you." Lao Wang's message came first.
"Uh-huh", the guide worker ant on the side echoed.
"Damn, forget if I offend Lao Wang, when will I offend you little worker ant?" The protagonist complains in his heart.
But it's still a big deal, and the protagonist hurriedly asks Lao Wang if he knows how to go to the lair of his relatives with fire.
"Young male, where did you know about fire?" Lao Wang's message is full of doubts, the communication of the ants is not good, too strong information will be directly transmitted to the other party, although the inner thoughts and activities will not be passed on, but it is difficult to hide their true thoughts if they are not careful. No wonder the ants are rectum.
"I know it from Mulan." The protagonist honestly replies, "She said she followed you to a place where there was a fire." "You don't have to worry about whether Lao Wang will know who Mulan is, Mulan is the same as the protagonist and Lao Wang, just a symbol that only works for readers, and the ants have a way to accurately indicate which of the trillions of ants they are talking about when exchanging information. Of course, this is provided that both parties to the exchange have been in contact with the person to be talked about beforehand.
"Yes, she has followed me to the distant Lord Lair." Like other ants, Lao Wang will not deny or lie about the facts: "But how do you know about fire?" It is unlikely that the soldier ants will voluntarily disclose such information. ”
"Do you know that fire is weird? What is the main nest?"
"Young male, you haven't seen fire yet, how do you know about fire?" Lao Wang didn't seem to be able to answer two questions at the same time, he only answered the first question, and then ignored the second one.
"What's so great about this, not only have I seen fire, I've also killed praying mantises!" The protagonist feels unable to explain to an ant how he knew about this thing without being exposed to fire in his life, so he simply blows a cowhide. It can't be said that the cowhide, the protagonist has done both things in his previous life.
After listening to the protagonist's statement, Lao Wang's message did not contain any meaningful words, only strong shock.
The guide worker ant was the same, shocked, and she hurriedly echoed Lao Wang's emotions: "Uh-huh."
The protagonist became proud: "Sample, your little ant is not at my disposal." ”
"The well-informed and brave young king." Lao Wang changed his name. Since the last time the protagonist offended the old king, the old king only called him "male ant" instead of "king". Now not only is the title of "King" back, but it is also preceded by the modifiers erudite and brave. The protagonist suddenly discovers that the ants are able to express such elegant words.
Old Wang: "Knowledgeable and brave young king, why did you go to the main lair?" You're always going there before you fly. ”
"Wedding flying?" The protagonist feels that there is another new word that needs to be understood, but the literal meaning is inseparable from mating and reproduction, anyway, the protagonist doesn't plan to be with an ant OOXX, so he doesn't care.
"I'm going to the main nest now, how do I get there?" The protagonist decides not to wait for the wedding to fly, who knows that it will be the Year of the Monkey.
Lao Wang: "The king has this right, you can go to the main nest." The guide ants will take you. ”
"Uh-huh." The guide ant said yes.
"What's the difference between the main nest and ours?" The protagonist asks another question that has not been answered.
"The main nest is the origin of our race, the largest nest, the most queen, the most king, the most soldier ants and worker ants." Lao Wang explained.
In this way, the protagonist roughly understands that the main nest should be the birthplace of this ant colony, after all, it is impossible for an ant colony to multiply indefinitely in a nest, and the food that can be obtained in the controlled space on the surface will not be enough to support more and more ant populations. Many ants will expand by dividing a group to develop new nests, and there will be no fighting between the new group and the old group, but it is also a relationship between old and dead. But now it seems that there is still communication between the nest on his side and the main nest.
"When am I going to get the guide worker ants to take to the main nest?" The protagonist asks.
"Anytime." Lao Wang replied.
"Uh-huh." The guide ant chimed in.
