Chapter 9 What to Do?

This sleep is very deep, the protagonist originally thought that he would have a lot of dreams after experiencing so much this day, but he slept all night and had a particularly good sleep quality.

When the protagonist wakes up, there is already a vibration of the crawling ants' unique limbs across the ground from time to time in the nearby passage.

The protagonist stretches his waist with his forelimbs, which is obviously still a habit left over from human times. As the ventrales in his abdomen let out a sigh of relief, the protagonist finishes yawning.

If the protagonist had studied insects a little more, he would have wondered that the insects' stomata passively relied on air flow for breathing. However, the protagonist's air holes have the same autonomous breathing function as a human nostril or mouth, so the effect of exhaling only occurs when a yawn is needed. The protagonist was an otaku in his previous life, although he has rich experience in online articles, but after all, there are few online articles that will detail the physiological characteristics of insects, so it is normal for the protagonist not to be curious about this.

After waking up, the protagonist feels thirsty because he hasn't drunk water all day yesterday and eats a small sunflower seed. The other winged ants are fed by nurses, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but the bitter protagonist can't accept this feeding method because of the problem of three views, so he can only "run away from home" and rely on himself to find food and drink.

Feeling hungry and thirsty, the protagonist got up, and didn't clean up the silk bed, he was going to continue to live tonight, so there was no need to clean up, anyway, depending on the situation, this place has been abandoned, and there will be no other ants coming.

The protagonist crawls towards the main passage, and when he arrives at the main passage, the protagonist suddenly smells the smell of water vapor.

The protagonist smells with his antennae, and this is the first time that the protagonist's antennae have smelled a smell, and although it is magical, it feels like the smell that humans smell with their noses, and the feedback in their minds. The protagonist turns his head to look in the direction where the water vapor is coming from, which is the direction in which the main passage continues deep underground.

Last night, the protagonist had walked a long way down the main passage in order to find a quiet corner to sleep, and the width of the main passage had been reduced to a small half of the entrance to the cave, and there were not many paths that converged next to it, unlike the dense beehives at the entrance, which were all entrances to the paths.

Humans have a phobia of the deep sea and have a similar reaction to deep caverns. The protagonist has doubts about whether to go deeper into the underground passage, but the constant feedback of the brain's thirsty anxiety and the temptation of the tempting water vapor make the protagonist climb down step by step.

I don't know how long I've climbed, the passage seems to have no end, the current passage can only make two or three ants turn around, and there hasn't been a fork in the road for a long time, the fluorescent bacteria have long since disappeared, the whole passage seems extremely dark, and the protagonist can only barely see things within a very close range around him. A lone ant crawls in the passage close to 70 degrees, and the protagonist's loneliness gradually becomes stronger.

The water vapor became thicker and thicker, and even the earth walls of the passage were hung with small dew drops. The protagonist doesn't plan to go any further, and if he goes any further, the only trace of vision that is left at the moment seems to be deprived, and the dew on the earthen wall looks quite clean. So the protagonist lies on his stomach and sucks on a dew that doesn't seem to have any impurities.

After sucking four or five small drops of dew in a row, the protagonist feels full and stops.

At this time, the sound of ants marching in front of the passage is heard, and the protagonist looks back, but he doesn't expect to see ants in such a deep place. But when you think about it, this place has a way to excavate, so it must be useful.

After a while, more than a dozen worker ants crawled out of the ground in a neat row, although it was very dark, the protagonist could see that there was still a little mud on their carapaces, but their bellies were bulging, the link-shaped carapace seemed to be about to be broken, and they all had a large drop of water on their mouths.

This is supposed to be a small team carrying water, and it seems that the main passage was dug so deep to connect the underground water source and provide water for the entire nest. It is said that nests that are too dry or wet are not suitable for ants.

The protagonist turns sideways to let the water carrying team pass, and then climbs back up as well. The protagonist feels that the journey back seems to be much shorter than when he came, and it is also psychological, because people will concentrate when they first enter an unfamiliar environment, so they feel that time passes very slowly.

Crawling back to the abandoned cave where the night was spent overnight, the protagonist lies on the silk bed and suddenly doesn't know what to do.

When you are a human being, you have to be busy going to school or work every day, you have to earn money to support yourself, and you can also go to drinking parties when you are free. But suddenly it became ants, and these activities were gone.

Although the protagonist has a big goal of turning back into a human, he has no idea what to do. Is it true? But I don't know the cultivation method, and I don't know if this is a fairy world. It may be more reliable to rely on future technology, but the protagonist has never even seen humans now, and he doesn't even know if there are humans in this world.

At least the most basic survival needs to be the protagonist doesn't have to worry too much. As a member of the ants, they have the cover of a strong underground nest, and as long as they do not crawl out to die, they are not easy to die accidentally. The food is collected by the worker ants, and the protagonist only needs to find the suitable food in the granary that can be swallowed, and the problem of water is solved, and the problem of sleeping is also solved.

A more advanced need than survival is reproduction, but the protagonist doesn't want to mate with an ant of the opposite sex, and this need is naturally not needed.

The higher need is self-realization value, but at the moment the protagonist can't think of what value he should achieve as an ant.

"Let's go back and see Roll and Rambo first!" When the protagonist is in a panic, he finally thinks of something he can do.
