"Ahh The final balance, who was working under the scorching sun, sneezed.

The hot and humid August was replaced by a dry, hot September – known in the south as the "Autumn Tiger", which lasted for months of rain.

Therefore, the autumn tiger is accompanied by extreme heat. Exposed to such dry air for a long time, it is as if the water in the whole body is about to be evaporated, and the skin is rough and itchy, like old tree bark, and only in the shade of a tree or in the corner of the wall will it be slightly better.

Not only people, but other life was affected even more by the scorching weather, with fewer birds flying in the air, trees wilting on the mountains, and fish in the water shrinking into the cool mud as the water level of the river dropped.

Insects, and ants are no exception, and most of the ants' breeding season is over, and now is the day for them to hide in their burrows and recuperate – prolonged exposure to dry air can cause them to lose too much water and die. Under the tree, there are many fewer busy yellow lynx ants, not to mention other species that are more afraid of light than the yellow lynx ants that live in the trees and deal with the sun every day.

Of course, there is one type of ant that is an exception, and this kind of hellish weather for other creatures is a paradise for them.

The red fire ant, also known as the invasive fire ant, is an invasive species from the Argentine savannah in South America.

Although this kind of ant is a universal single post-system, but the fecundity is stronger than many post-system ants, only half a month can change from eggs to adults, a new queen only needs to get a piece of rock candy as big as a food source can produce more than 1,000 troops and nearly 10,000 reserves in three months, less than half a year will sit on 100,000 troops.

If it is only the terrible ability to reproduce, the more terrifying thing about the red fire ant is their ferocious nature. Violent by nature, very aggressive and quick to assemble, these ants live underground, digging out layers of underground works with a complex internal structure comparable to that of human skyscrapers, and the extra dirt is piled up on the surface to form red mounds of grave-like soil.

These mounds of red clay are used as clusters to expand by digging tiny passages in the ground, gnawing at everything they can: the rhizomes of plants, the dead bodies of plants and animals, native insects, and even feces. They eat everything, almost anything organic can be their food, dead or alive.

This naturally includes other ants as well. Once their nests are spread by the tunnels of red fire ants, most of them are waiting for the fate of group extinction, because even tens of thousands of worker ant nests can hardly resist the red torrent of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of red torrents that quickly rush out from the fragile rear from the inside to the outside, at least several times their own.

What's more, their weapon is not the conventional large jaw or formic acid in ants, but the tail inherited from the poison needle of the ancestor of the bee, it is the venom weapon that makes them extremely small, even the queen ant is less than a centimeter, they can almost fight the invincible opponent in the world among insects. Red fire ants are extremely poisonous, and people will feel a burning pain and blisters when they are stung by boiling water. This level of venom is not enough for insects, even small mammals or birds can carry it, and in the country of origin, large-scale red fire ants can even beat birds the size of pigeons with swarms of stingers and gnaw at only a skeleton in a few hours.

Coming to China through the invasion of imported logs, this new place lacks natural predators such as native parasitic flies and armadillos, in the autumn in the south, which is very similar to the climate of their homeland, and other species are dormant, the red fire ant is equivalent to opening the hanging mode, which can be described in one word:

Thousands of miles away, wherever a red fire ant nest takes root, or all living creatures within a radius of 100 meters in half a month will be wiped out, and only black spiny ants or some native marching ants, which are not weaker than their fertility, can barely resist their attack. The others, that is, the nest of golden-ringed wasps that Zhongheng once owned, encountered more than 100,000 red fire ants, and if they didn't run to the death, they would be wiped out.

Today, September 8, 2019, is the day when Zhong Heng leads his army and a nest of red fire ants with a size of at least 200,000.

It all started with an evolutionary fragment of 30,000 base units found beneath the nest of red fire ants.

About a week ago, following the hologram on the attribute panel, Zhong Heng came to this place where the largest piece of evolution fragment in the entire Y County was buried.

That piece of fragment in the primitive forest nature reserve in the deep mountains in the north of Y County, and then go north more than 30 kilometers to the boundary of Hunan Province, from the nearest cement road are more than ten kilometers, need to walk 3 hours of ancient mountain road to reach not to mention, it is actually located in the middle of the mountainside dirt road is nearly 50 meters high in the ravine 1 meter five deep.

There was no road down there, and even if there were, he wouldn't dare go down—the devil knows what's behind and under the dense foliage of the sea. Originally, Zhong Heng planned to control ten American mantis to fly down and dig tunnels to slowly dig out the debris by means of Yugong moving mountains, but when the American mantis airborne team landed on a damp and soft red earth after passing through the dense upper division of the jungle and the thorns at the bottom, he suddenly felt that something was wrong when he gained his vision;

The jungle bottoms in the south have always been rotten and covered with fallen leaves from plants, and the ground is usually a black color representing decay, with soggy leaves and rotting slime. But here it is a bare red earth, dry and flat, and there is even a smell of earthy dampness.

Abnormal, so abnormal.

Just as the cockroaches were about to start digging operations, a sudden change occurred, and countless red fire ants that felt the vibration on the ground burst out of the holes distributed in the red earth, and surrounded the airborne team of the final balance in the blink of an eye.

Zhongheng wants to control the cockroaches to escape, but it is too late, the coleopteran insects of the American giant mantis have very poor flight ability, and they generally need to make thorough preparations for rocket launch when they take off, and they can't fly like a wasp if they want to, and they can also do all kinds of fighter dog fighting actions and even hover like a helicopter. Less than 30 centimeters above the head is the bottom of the thorny jungle, and there is no time to prepare for flight, and the large number of red fire ants pouring out of the nest locks their way out of the run.

In less than a minute, all the cockroaches were knocked down with their stingers by the red fire ants that came up, and the airborne team was completely wiped out, becoming the opponent's lunch.

The undying Zhong Heng gritted his teeth, and sent another airborne team to desperately catch ten red fire ants, and controlled them with the last control quota, planning to use the "rumor spreading method" to let the red fire ants move away by themselves.

But he soon found that the method was ineffective again.

This method requires that the rumors run faster than the rumors, and the current limit control of the number of ant colonies is only two or three thousand, but the number of red fire ants in this nest is more than 200,000, far more than a hundred times his limit.

If it had been before, the final balance of successive failures would have given up on this extra-large evolution fragment, but this time, a sudden factor drove him to decide to fight this nest of red fire ants to the end:

The hologram in the sensing module, almost with the evolution fragments pasted there, appeared something that the final balance had always dreamed of:

"There's a template fragment there, and if you touch it, you can unlock the template recovery module." Xiao Qian, who replaced the position of the system, said.

"It's really a toast and no food, I originally wanted to be merciful and spare your life, since you like to resist so much, then I have no choice but to destroy you invading pests."

Before leaving, Zhong Heng left such a cruel sentence, and drew up a name for the next action in his heart:

Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
