On April 8th, just as Roll, Rambo Fei, Rambo Wan and Rambose led their troops to "Hunting Ground City", an event happened that saddened the protagonist.

Around noon, the protagonist receives a report from a worker ant that Rambofo is dead.

The protagonist is taken aback!!

Shortly after conquering the main nest, Rambofo, who had led the Second Legion to make a meritorious deed, fell ill.

The only symptoms he showed at that time were weakness, weakness, etc., and they did not seem to be very serious, just like the occasional fever and cold in human beings.

The protagonist has no knowledge of medicine, and the ants' healing skills are limited to licking wounds to treat external injuries and taking a few simple herbs to treat their symptoms.

For Rambofo's disease, the ants do not have any special medicine, they can only recuperate, counting on their immunity to defeat the disease. This is also the only treatment method for most species in nature, like humans and some animals who use foreign objects to assist in treatment.

Because Rambo Buddha needs to recuperate, the protagonist lets Rambo Fei lead the second legion that originally belonged to Rambo Buddha to the "Waterfront City".

For a month, Rambofo's condition has not improved significantly, but it shows no signs of deterioration. The protagonist has visited him a few times, and there are special worker ants to take care of his diet, and the daily food supply is also sufficient, and Rambo Buddha himself seems to be in good spirits.

Later, due to his busy schedule, the protagonist rarely visits this subordinate, but suddenly learns of his death from the worker ants who take care of him.

Although he has already experienced the death of Xiao Mi once, the protagonist still does not feel that death is commonplace. Rambofo's departure also made him feel uncomfortable.

He could still remember the first day he was reborn into the ant world, and after breaking the chrysalis, he met Rambo Buddha for the first time. I can remember that I jokingly named them with code names, and Rambo Buddha means NO.4, because the protagonist saw him from left to right at that time.

In fact, coincidentally, Rambo Buddha also happens to be the fourth adult to break the pupa in this batch of male ants, which exactly corresponds to his name. According to the rules of male ants, the earlier the pupa breaks in the same batch of male ants, the more authoritative. Therefore, the protagonist, as the first to break the pupae, naturally has an advantage in the face of male ants such as Roll and Rambofo.

In addition to the protagonist, the next to break the chrysalis are Roll, Rambo Fly, Rambo Ford, Rambo Wan, Rambo Tour, Rambo Rui and Rambosser.

As the same batch of pupa male ants, no matter how much the protagonist who is based on human thinking denies it, there is also a sense of kinship based on blood between them. That's why the protagonist waits anxiously for them to arrive before attending the wedding ceremony, and the Rambo Buddhas follow him unswervingly even if the protagonist breaks through the traditions of the ant world, and most of the kingdom's male ants are eager to throw the Divine Envoy King into the fire.

The protagonist has always been very respectful of Rambo Buddha, he not only has a certain talent in the military, but also has administrative talents, and is the only male ant who can rest assured that the protagonist can entrust administrative affairs other than Rambo Fei.

Now, his blood brother, loyal subordinate, and the only two high-ranking kings in the ranks of the Divine Envoy King's legion with administrative talents, have just withered in the main nest.

The protagonist went to see Rambofo's corpse, and the body, which was originally one or two sizes larger than the soldier ants, curled up inward, looking a little painful before death, and the whole body seemed to be one size smaller.

An unknown disease just took his life, ignoring the fact that he was only three years old now, while the average male ant lived five to ten years.

The protagonist can't bear to look at his body, and instructs the worker ants to bury him, not to throw it in a public cemetery or use it as fodder for mealworms to eat (this is how dead ants are treated in the past), and dig a small grave to bury him.

Although he has experienced the death of Xiao Mi, the protagonist still has a hard time accepting the departure of Rambo Buddha, which will make him feel that his life is also going on, slow, and unstoppable.

Ants have an indifferent attitude towards death, and they can die for the benefit of their race or their nest without any worries.

The protagonist speculates that the reason for this kind of unconcerned death is due to absolute collectivism and the commonplace use of death in the ant world.

There are people in the human world who regard death as home, but they are generally for the sake of ideals, for the benefit of their families or the collective, or simply because of religious ideas (such as the bliss of rebirth), so that they can face death without worry.

Unlike humans, ants have gods in their worldview, but they don't have any beliefs related to death, afterlife, or rebirth.

Death is death, and there is no future for the individual.

Human religions like to think about the future, and death is just another beginning. Several major religions have descriptions of heaven, hell, and the western bliss, using the beauty of heaven and the horror of hell to warn people about how to behave while they are alive.

Some religions even have the idea of reincarnation, as if death is just the beginning of another life. Such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Brahmanism, etc.

Reincarnation, also known as circulation, reincarnation, and reincarnation of life and death, that is, the life and death of all beings, and after death, the soul is reincarnated and reincarnated as another person, turning like a wheel, and the cycle is endless, and everything it thinks is alive. If one does not seek "liberation," one will forever live and die in the "six realms" (heaven, man, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell) in an endless cycle of life and death.

The theory of reincarnation is inspired by the generational reincarnation of life, and karma is the cause that dominates reincarnation in the cause and effect of the three lives, so karma is not only the result of this life, but also extends endlessly to future lives: "If you don't do evil, you will suffer retribution; Self-employment is self-reaping, and all living beings are the same".

So death is not a terrible thing for humans. But why do ants despise death so much when they don't have a concept of the afterlife or the afterlife?

Some animals without civilized intelligence only instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and do not anticipate death when they are full of food and drink, so they will naturally not be afraid.

Like a rabbit that spends the morning outside its burrow in the sun and grazing, it doesn't think about when I'm going to die in a wolf's kiss? Wouldn't you have thought that two days ago, because I was too hungry and anxious when I gave birth to a little rabbit, I ate one of my own children, and my own children were not afraid of death? They don't think about such topics.

They only seek advantages and avoid disadvantages when facing death, and when the rabbit is sure that they will die, they will also take the initiative to die to reduce unnecessary suffering. Therefore, it is often said that rabbits are timid and "scared to death".

However, it is the fear of death that intelligent human beings have derived from the afterlife and the afterlife, paralyzing themselves and making them think that life will not end.

But why do ants have wisdom but don't have this kind of thinking?
