Clams?

Zhong Heng didn't understand that there was any way to turn defeat into victory at this time.

"Your puppet is dead, and the quota is vacant, don't you still have a dozen golden-ringed wasps in your hand, you can use them." Xiao Qian said.

"But sending them down is also sending them to death, they can't beat 70,000 red fire ants."

"It's not that you send them to war, and besides, you don't necessarily have to win, are you...... Oops, there's no time, do you still want to win, if you want to win, open the heart link......"

"This ......"

The dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and after a spiritual message was accessed, he suddenly became enlightened: Why did he forget about this thing? That's an artifact for dealing with ants.

Y County, where Zhongheng is located, is a small county in the middle of nowhere, and food safety issues are naturally not as standardized as in big cities. Therefore, the desiccant used in the snacks produced by the small workshops here is not the silica gel or calcium chloride used in the snacks in the big cities, but the earliest models that are primitive and dangerous:

Calcium oxide, commonly known as quicklime, releases enough heat to heat water to a boil in an instant when it comes into contact with water.

Calcium oxide is not only chemically unstable and prone to exothermic reactions, but also an artifact used to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants in the wild, wherever it is sprinkled, these poisonous insects do not dare to cross the thunder pool half a step - not only because the smell makes them feel disgusted from their instincts, even if they overcome their instincts and get closer, as soon as they get on the dust-white powder, their bodies will be immediately cooked in a boiling heat.

When he went out in the morning, in addition to bringing bread, Zhongheng also brought two buckets of potato chips as snacks, and there happened to be this desiccant inside.

Taking out two packs of 5 cm square desiccant, the final balance is still a little worried: is it enough?

"Forget it, leave it alone!"

Carefully tearing each paper bag in two, the puppet controls the four wasps to grab them with their legs, and staggers to carry the bag almost the size of their bodies and fly downward.

The 50-meter empty road, which used to take only a few seconds to walk, is now extremely difficult, and the wasps tremble, as if the old man in the twilight who will fall down at any time, slowly descending. As long as the slightest chaotic air flow blows, this last hope can be completely wiped out, and the chest, abdomen and other parts of the four wasps are stuck with a little white powder because of the shaking, if it weren't for the soft hedgehog armor whose exoskeleton seems to be soft and soft, which is actually equivalent to the stinger of a bee, they would have crashed by now.

Even so, it is impossible for them to survive afterwards, and now it depends on how long their tenacious vitality can endure this deadly erosion, and the final balance is completely a race against time.

Thankfully, with the exception of one wasp, which was covered in white powder and scalded into rotten mutton almost instantly, the remaining three all arrived safely on the battlefield below, due to the desiccant bag being hung up when it entered the thorn bush.

At this time, the two sides of the hand-to-hand battle had already started a desperate struggle, and more and more ants belonging to the side of the final balance were defeated, but hundreds of them fell in just a few tens of seconds.

"Don't be afraid, backup is coming, go die!"

The final balance controlled the golden-ringed wasp, and the goddess scattered the desiccant to the rear of the approaching army of red fire ants, and the white powder was like falling snow, forming a white road, cutting off the lazy waist of the charging insect tide composed of red fire ants.

Snow of Death!

In an instant, the tide was reversed again.

The golden-ringed wasp fluttered back and forth, spreading "snow of death" calcium oxide in an X-shape, drawing white forks on the damp red earth. Below, the red fire ants, which were once again attacked by air raids, and were "chemical weapons" air strikes, fell into a panic again.

Calcium oxide, this synthetic powder is naturally much higher than the natural formic acid of ants, as long as it is contaminated, the few water in their bodies will be instantly sucked dry, and the whole insect spasms and shrinks into a ball-like dried corpse. The number of red fire ants that died because of the calcium oxide powder falling from the air reached tens of thousands in the blink of an eye, and the rest of them immediately fell into a panic when they saw their compatriots in such a miserable state, but they soon ended up like the unlucky eggs just now because they ran into the white forbidden area laid out on the ground, or they were cooked by the large amount of heat released by the reaction with the heavy moisture of the earth.

They were divided into at least dozens of areas, and could no longer gather into a tide, and when the calcium oxide reaction was completed, there were less than 20,000 people left alive, and more than half of them were struggling on the ground because they were more or less stained with fine calcium oxide powder, and they were not alive.

An area aroused the alarm of Zhongheng, it was at the last place of the ant tide, hundreds of red fire ants were still gathered together, seeing that the situation was not good, they did not know what had happened to them, they no longer had the courage to attack, turned and fled towards the depths of the forest.

At least half of the total number of soldiers in this area is significantly higher than that of other areas, and in the center, many red fire ants are running back and forth on top of each other, making the whole moving ant tide like a wave blanket.

They're clearly protecting something—if you think with your ass, it's their queen.

"I won't let you escape, go die."

Controlling the two golden-ringed wasps to swoop down, the few remnants of the defeated army were scattered by a slight air current, revealing the target they had tried to hide—an ant about 1 centimeter or so, with a slender body but a significantly larger butt than the other red fire ants, and a dark red metallic glow from all over its body.

Losing the protection of his guards, the queen ant was panicked and only instinctively ran forward at full speed, but he didn't know that this only better exposed his position.

Another golden-ringed wasp landed in front of it, and swept away the red fire ant guards who were still dying and trying to drink and drive with their wings and legs. The largest soldier ants are only 5 millimeters and less than one-tenth the length of a wasp, making it as difficult to defeat them as humans as they are to slay dragons. Unless thousands of them converge together into a tide and wait for the wasps to fall into the net, and then use their stingers to attack key points such as compound eyes and leg gaps, or bite through the soft hedgehog armor of the wasp by grinding hard foam, they will not have the slightest power to fight back against the golden ring wasp, a large poisonous bee that can slaughter tens of thousands of bee hives with dozens of them.

The guards were all scattered in all directions, and the golden-ringed wasp, which had cleared the last obstacles, used its bloodthirsty compound eyes to turn back and forth against the poor little eyes of the red fire ant queen, as if thinking about something.

"Forget it, this thing is not lethal to people, and if you want to make evolution fragments, you are afraid that it will spread and harm the environment. Even if you want this kind of worm, just pick up a lot of them on the side of the road, and you won't miss these few, so let's kill them. Together with the compound eyes of the field of vision, after thinking about it, the consciousness that belonged to the final balance was pronounced the death sentence of the red fire ant queen.

Trying to escape from the detour, it had no strength to resist at all, and was bitten on the back of the chest by a mouthpart of the golden-ringed wasp that can bite the bee's head, and was chewed into a puddle of meat sauce in a futile struggle.

"True Nyima is unpalatable, it seems that when you do this in the future, you will have to remove the sensory gains......"

……

When the last red fire ant falls, it's time for the war to be over. At this time, the battlefield corpses were all over the field, the smell was rampant, hundreds of thousands of ants were covered with red earth, and there were also a small number of giant insect remains of American cockroaches and golden-ringed wasps, which seemed to be monsters and giant elephants in war, with the pervasive smell of corpses, gunsmoke, ant acid, lime, as well as the unique damp and mildew smell of the jungle and the fresh water vapor that was evaporated from the soil because of the increasing temperature, it looked particularly desolate.

On the side of the red fire ants, the whole army was wiped out, even if there were occasional survivors, it was only the lost dogs, and in the end, it was either impossible to find a way back, starved to death in the wild, or crawled back to kill the army on the side of the final balance.

The final balance side also suffered heavy losses. There are less than 1,000 ants left, including more than 800 paving ants, more than 50 yellow ants, all cockroaches have been wiped out, and only 16 of the golden-ringed wasps have left the reserves that have not been dispatched to stay in the test tube, including the one that has been used as a reconnaissance field of sight, because of the poison of more than a dozen red fire ants and the residual quicklime powder in the final clearance battle.

But anyway, it was a victory.

With a somewhat wry smile, Finally Heng unleashed a puppet manipulation on the remaining 16 golden-ringed wasps: "Go and dig up the evolution fragments and template fragments." ”

As for the ants, he doesn't plan to involve them in the rest of the work, nor does he plan to bring them back. They are small and their labor efficiency is too low, and they are afraid that they will attack the working golden-ringed wasps and accidentally injure the "friendly army". After all, Zhong Heng had not seen an example of ants and wasps living in peace and symbiosis in any literature, and he didn't dare to bet on whether ants and wasps could communicate with different pheromones to produce similar effects to the previous nest combination.

Therefore, he commanded the ants to climb back to the previous tree through a dozen or so "array eyes" that were still alive, and then revoked the puppet control and completely returned their freedom. There are five or six paver ants still alive, and the queen ants of the yellow lynx ants are also alive because of their unique habit of wrapping the queen in balls to protect them, as long as they are released here, they will soon be able to grow in this environment that has lost the strong enemies that have been surrounded, and take over the land occupied by red fire ants as natives.

For the rest, whether they can survive in such a cruel environment depends on their own creation, and I don't know if the self-respecting character of the yellow ant queen can accommodate the habit of paving ants under the suppression of the "array eye" that lacks the final balance, anyway, everything will be left to the entomologists who may come here to investigate in the future to have a headache.

Leaving a few pieces of rock candy, he completely ignored the ants, and finally controlled a dozen wasps to start digging along the ready-made passage of red fire ants.

The golden-ringed wasp itself has the habit of digging holes in the ground to dig out soil to build nests in the wild, and it is naturally handy to do this kind of old work, and soon a channel with a diameter of 5 cm and a large pulsating bottle mouth was excavated and extended more than ten centimeters, heading towards the evolutionary fragments.

Half an hour later.

The passage was only a few centimeters away from the evolutionary fragment, and the final balance opened the microscopic hologram in the sensing module, and was about to dig it accurately, but saw a gruesome scene:

A snow-white skull in the hologram is looking at him with a sinister smile.
