The protagonist sleeps for a while, and he doesn't know if he has a dream or not in this sleep, and when this kind of mood is agitated, he is easy to dream!

He wakes up and doesn't remember anything, so it's even if he didn't dream, maybe he dreamed, and if he didn't remember, it was the same as not dreaming.

But after sleeping, the mood is much better, maybe last night's torture and killing made the protagonist's depression in his heart empty.

When he got out of the cabin, the sun was as bright as his mood at this time, and he couldn't help but be stimulated in front of him, and quickly covered one eye on his head with his forelimbs, and it took a while to get used to it.

It turned out that the sky was already bright at this moment, and the sun was near the highest point, and the protagonist slept all morning to make up for sleep. As soon as I came out of the dark cabin, I suddenly came into contact with the midday light, no wonder I was uncomfortable for a while.

Ants perceive light in one eye and image with compound eyes, so they only need to block one eye to overcome the discomfort of bright light without affecting the vision of the compound eye.

At this time, the walnut fleet was drifting in the middle of the Qing River, and looking back, the water forest had long since disappeared. Also, no matter how slow the boat went, it had traveled several kilometers for a few hours in the morning, and it had already left the field of vision.

Obviously, those Barchet ants could no longer catch up, and the battle in the early morning was the last futile resistance of the Barcheleaf ants.

The protagonist can't help but wonder, is the egg they stole back really the queen's eggs? That's why these Barche leaf ants are so gnashing their teeth and not dying.

With this in mind, the protagonist sets off for the back of the fleet. The eggs of the Barche leaf ants captured last night were placed in a boat in the rear.

Expertly following the cable that connects the ship's mast to its destination, climb down the mast, bypass the rain cover under the mast, open the hatch, and the protagonist, accompanied by two worker ants who watch over the ship, inspects the loot.

Except for some miscellaneous items, there was only one kind of ant egg on this ship, which was the eggs of the Bache leaf ant seized yesterday, and it was not a mistake.

There are four large and small eggs in this time, but they can correspond to the four body types of the professional ants of the Bache leaf ant that the protagonist has seen.

The largest of these eggs has four eggs, and the protagonist wonders if they are queen or male eggs. Among the big-headed ants and paver ants, the queen eggs and male eggs are the largest, and it is not known if this is the case for the Barcheleaf ants. But like the hunting sickle ant, the eggs of ordinary warriors are larger than those of male ants.

These large eggs may also be the eggs of the largest of the Bache leaf ants. However, last night's desperate posture of the chasing soldiers made the protagonist believe more in the former possibility, and maybe he subconsciously hoped so.

In fact, there is the easiest way to verify, that is, you can hatch these large eggs, and then raise them until they break the pupa and become adult ants, and you can get the answer in a month.

After all, the hatching of ant eggs is not like that of birds, which need to rely on the body temperature of the mother bird to hatch. Ant eggs can hatch on their own as long as they are at the right temperature, which is ideally around 30 degrees.

Conversely, if you don't want the eggs to hatch now, you only need to provide a room temperature of about 25 degrees below to stop the process. Ant eggs can survive at lower temperatures for up to almost a year waiting for suitable incubation conditions.

There are a large number of ant eggs on the walnut fleet, the eggs of various ant species of big-headed ants, paving ants, and hunting sickle ants, as well as a number of mealworms, flies, aphids, scale insects, etc., all of which rely on maintaining low temperatures to prevent hatching for long-term preservation.

The way ants maintain their low temperatures is simply to place their eggs close to the bottom of the boat and cover them with some plant fibers.

The bottom of the boat is located below the surface of the water, and it is surrounded by river water, which can maintain a temperature of about 20 degrees even in the middle of summer, which is a natural "coolant", making the temperature of the four walls of the bottom of the boat low.

The plant fibers play a role in blocking and weakening the temperature conduction of the upper layer of the cabin, and can also play a cushioning role to prevent collisions.

If that doesn't work, the ants who guard the eggs will notice the high room temperature and will bring water droplets to smear the cabin and evaporate the excess heat.

Relying on this means, the walnut fleet is like a Noah's ark, carrying the eggs of various ants and insects in the Divine Envoy King Legion, preparing to go to the swamp area where there is no "Destroyer Flood" to repopulate.

It is not difficult to hatch these eggs on the boat, let the ants live in the boat, and the heat they emit will be enough to raise the temperature to the right level, and the incubation process inside the eggs will start on their own.

It's just that the current fleet really doesn't have the conditions to feed more ants, and the space on the ship is limited, and even the grain can only be stored for seven days at most, which is already a very dangerous bottom line.

The rainy season is just around the corner, and once the rain continues for several days, the fleet that cannot dock to replenish supplies will immediately fall into a dilemma.

However, in order to carry these eggs, there are other necessary materials, such as mystery balls, ropes, ant silk, etc., and the protagonist is unable to make room for more food.

Once the ants hatch, they need to make room for the hatchlings, and make room for the pupae to take care of the small number of worker sailors. When they grow up, they also need to live in space, which is much more than an egg. You have to eat.

Even if it is proved that this egg is a queen ant, there is no way to make this queen ant lay eggs, it is purely asking for trouble, and it can only be raised and idle. Naturally, the protagonist can't move his whole body in order to get an answer. Anyway, sooner or later, I'll have to go back to the swamp, so let's talk about it when we get to the destination.

After sailing a day or two, the protagonist decides to dock and abandon the ship on foot.

- I'm the dividing line -

I didn't find too many clues from the eggs of the Barche leaf ants, and the protagonist couldn't figure out the unusual desperate actions of the Barche leaf ants, so he simply didn't want to.

He climbed out of the cabin, and as soon as he climbed on the cable, he suddenly felt a violent shock to the hull of the ship, and the protagonist grabbed it tightly, and it was fine, but he saw that the rest of the ants walking on the cable had fallen into the water.

Fortunately, the places where these Divine Envoy King warriors fell into the water were all inside the fleet, surrounded by boats, wooden poles and ropes, and it was easy to climb up, as long as you didn't choke on the water and hurt your internal organs, you would be fine.

The protagonist is very puzzled, the vibration just now came suddenly, and the surrounding wind and waves were calm, and it was not like hitting a reef or a large floating object, why there was such a big impact-like movement.

The protagonist climbs the mast with his hands and feet to look out, and there is nothing unusual around!

Could it be that the impact came from beneath the water!?

The protagonist suddenly woke up and looked down, and sure enough, under the blue waves not far away, there was a dark shadow that was moving rapidly, and he ignored it without looking closely.

The dark shadow was moving swiftly from under the water towards the position of the fleet!
