3.83 Go deep into the anthill

Thanks to ≮ soft times ≯, the monthly pass of the redemption -

Just as Wu Chen was thinking about how to approach, the monitor lizard had already turned its head first.

A pair of sad and desperate eyes immediately touched Wu Chen's tense heartstrings.

Then, the biggest tear Wu Chen had ever seen in his life smashed into a charred ground with a thud.

Wu Chen suddenly had a comprehension.

Whether it's a pet lizard that is kept by people, or a hyena roaming the ruins. No matter what human beings become today, more or less, they all have a subtle bond with human beings in their bones.

I remember that when Wu Chen picked out half of the dog's corpse to the head dog, the head dog looked at him, and for a moment it was like looking at the owner who was feeding. Even if he wanted to fill his belly with lizard eggs, the head dog did not pounce directly, but motioned Wu Chen with his eyes to get out of the way.

It's a form of respect. Respect for the former masters of the earth.

The moment the monitor lizard saw Wu Chen, it shed tears, probably out of this psychology.

Wu Chen walked over gently, and the monitor lizard immediately lowered his head so that he could caress his huge cheeks. No matter how big it becomes, pet or pet, owner or owner. Just as they like to be vegetarian, so is the psychology of monitor lizards.

The reason why a 60-meter-long behemoth can cry like a child, Wu Chen has already guessed.

The large number of sex hormones found in TT40 also corroborated Wu Chen's judgment. This is also a female lizard that has just been born.

And her eggs were gone.

Wu Chen was in a pit-like nest and saw the dents left by the five giant eggs. Wu Chen visually measured that the weight of the giant egg that was taller than him was very huge. There must be hundreds of catties. Who can steal them quietly under the nose of a mother lizard?

"Master, scan for pheromone residue of another variant." Saying that, TT40 has been marked with a color spectrum on the helmet and armor for Wu Chen.

Wu Chen followed a zigzag pheromone chromatography and continued to advance towards the northeast of the botanical garden. Soon. In the Air Force Anti-Japanese War Memorial Park in Shiniu Village, Nanshan, after the collapsed memorial wall, Wu Chen found a huge entrance to the underground kingdom.

"Master, this seems to be a gold-eating anthill." TT40 scans the massive metal pipe inside the entrance and makes a judgment.

"So, the lizard eggs were all moved away by the gold-eating ants?" Doesn't it mean that gold-eating ants only eat metal?

"For now. It seems like that's it. "For these mutant creatures, TT40 doesn't know much more than Wu Chen.

"Let's go check it out." Wu Chen's brain waves were able to drive away the gold-devouring ants to a certain extent, which gave him some confidence in self-preservation.

Dog meat carrying pods is inaccessible, and metal bodies do not have an advantage against gold eaters. With a micro chong, grenade and a knife, Wu Chen walked into the passage alone.

Soon, the TT40's chromatographic navigation lost its effectiveness.

It's very simple, the pipes that extend in all directions are full of pheromones of big ants!

What to do?

"Master, gold-eating ants build nests along roads. We're looking for the nearest highway. "The TT40 moved quickly.

However, the TT40 underestimates the complexity of the anthill.

After drilling out of the ground along a passage, Wu Chen found that he had come to an open-air garbage dump. The dark garbage heap is littered with huge honeycomb-shaped holes. The hole goes deep into the garbage heap, eating away at all the metal buried inside.

No wonder there are no gold-eating ants, this ant road leading to the garbage dump has been abandoned due to the depletion of resources.

"It's a complete waste of time to bump around like a headless fly." The anthill extends in all directions like a vast underground labyrinth. Bumping around in there without a clue is simply a stroke of luck.

"The hosts. Let's call the dog meat. He can track the scent of lizard eggs. TT40 suggests.

"Okay then." Although dog meat drills into the anthill and is suspected of beating the dog with meat buns, the current situation can only be like this.

Returning the same way, the pod was removed, and the dog meat sniffed the residual scent of the lizard's nest. Twisted his head and got into the anthole.

Wu Chen followed the dog meat all the way, and the roaring fork in the road quickly made him lose his judgment of the other party's position. Finally, when he couldn't help but feel tired in his colonization costume, the dog meat finally stopped. Wu Chen walked over lightly and found that the passage had disappeared not far ahead.

Creeping and crawling to the end of the passage. Wu Chen stretched out his head to take a look, and was taken aback!

A huge cavern hall filled with spiral-shaped entrances appeared before him.

The hall does not have the pillars common to human architecture. All supported by conch-shaped entrances around it, the beautiful spiral lines that stretch from the top of the cave to the ground, like countless stiffeners, with the help of ingenious mechanical principles, omitting the unsightly support columns.

Get an unobstructed view of the entire hall. The daylight that pours from the top of the cave can even be taken on a 'spiral slide' that slides all the way into the cave, bringing warmth and light.

It is really worthy of the gold-eating ant known as the master builder.

It's just strange, why didn't I see a single gold-eating ant?

"Master, the dog meat smells strong xenogeneous pheromones. Preliminary judgment, this is the queen's nest. The lizard eggs are inside the queen's nest. "The TT40 has already scanned the results.

"Queen ants are used to living alone, no wonder there are no gold-eating ants." Wu Chen subconsciously looked at the spiral passages around the cave hall, and said softly: "That's because the queen ant didn't warn. As soon as the alarm sounds, we will be overwhelmed by the horde of gold-eating ants. ”

"What now?" The TT40 is calculating possible escape routes.

"Sneak through." Wu Chen gently opened the insurance of Weichong, turned over and rode on the dog meat.

Dog Meat's concealment skill was quickly activated, and he crawled down the pit along the smooth grooved passage between the two spirals.

Soon, gold-devouring ant eggs the size of cantaloupe, covered with metal markings, began to appear in piles in the spiral passage. The TT40 scan revealed that the eggs were surprisingly rich in protein and were also rich in various trace elements and vitamins. It is a very good food source.

Wu Chen quietly raised his head, and in the spiral groove near the bottom of the cave hall, there was a dense pile of gold-devouring ant eggs the size of cantaloupe!

The number of eggs laid by queens each day varies slightly depending on the species. Generally around 500 to 1,000 eggs, a queen ant can lay tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more eggs in her lifetime, and her abdomen is constantly expanding due to the development of ovaries. In the end, even the food has to be fed by the worker ants, and the movement has to be carried by the worker ants.

After the mutation, in addition to the size of the eggs, the number of eggs laid by the queen has also increased dramatically!

Wu Chen visually estimated that these gold-devouring ant eggs were enough for 300,000 people in the scorched earth for a month!

Filthy hyenas have apparently not found this treasure of stealing eggs!

Wu Chen has seen it. The eggs are arranged in such a way that they seem to imply a wonderful geometric equation. The capacity of the precisely constructed spiral concave, that is, the space between the two spirals, also seems to have been precisely calculated. According to TT40's calculations, each 'trunk' can hold 100,000 eggs.

So the entire cave hall is capable of holding 100 million eggs. You can see how grand it is.

It's no wonder that the gold-eaters are desperately scavenging for metal. Isn't this the same as the double-crowned female lizard eating the car cover? It's also to provide a safe environment for the next generation.

Hum -

Just as he was thinking, a ring of creature waves swept through the cave.

Everywhere they passed, the metal markings resembling cantaloupe on each gold-devouring ant egg bloomed into flickering arcs.

Before being immersed in electromagnetic waves again, Wu Chen was busy using brain waves to defend.

Wu Chen's broad demigod-level spiritual force field. Simulates a loose state similar to that of an anthill environment. Like a silent sponge, it seems to be soft and weak, but it is full of toughness to quietly absorb the electromagnetic waves that arrive in front of you.

In addition to 'charging' the eggs that are being bred, electromagnetic waves also have a powerful radar function.

The role of radar is twofold: counting the eggs and scanning for intruders.

Counting is simple. As powerful bioelectromagnetic waves scan the entire field, each activated egg is a shining beacon point. If there are interruptions or spaces in the densely packed beacon points, it means that the eggs are missing. The queen, hidden deep in the core of the nest, can determine what action needs to be taken based on how much is missing, and summon the colony to take action.

It's even simpler to spot the intruder.

Bioelectric waves are the same as radar waves. When encountering an obstacle that is large enough, the loop formed by the reflection. It allows the queen ant to accurately determine the size and orientation of the intruder. And make corresponding countermeasures.

Therefore, the so-called stealth aircraft, in addition to reducing the area of reflected radar waves as much as possible, another important measure is the absorbing coating. The coating absorbs radar waves, as if energy is naturally attenuated as it travels through the air, and cannot form a reflection loop. Radar is incomprehensible.

Therefore, Wu Chen quietly absorbed the biological electrical waves released by the queen ant through the demigod-level brain waves, avoiding being discovered by the queen's bioradar.

Dog meat with similar functions is also an important factor in not being discovered.

Until the radio waves disappear completely. Wu Chen urged Dog Meat to move on.

At the end of the line trough, there is a huge metal cave. Climbing into the cave, Wu Chen found that the central anthill was layered. The lower reserve granary that Wu Chen came to was full of eggs of various creatures carried by hard-working worker ants for the queen.

The most common of these is a blue-gray eggshell egg. TT40 scanned the remaining pheromones and found that they were lizardman eggs.

This was also the first time Wu Chen had seen the descendants of the lizardmen.

Carefully navigating through a pile of knee-high lizardhuman eggs, Wu Chen soon found the target.

Because they're just so huge. How big a 60-meter-long monitor lizard egg should be, Wu Chen actually didn't know how big it was.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Wu Chen knew how big it was.

Visually 3 meters. There are five in total. The TT40 scan was determined to be the eggs of a rhinoceros iguana.

How to carry it has become a huge problem.

If the Ring can still be activated, it can be easily solved by teleporting into the electronic world and then out. However, because the space-time circuit sent to Wu Chen was pinched into a valve core by the patron saint of the Fire Dragon Empire, Wu Chen's Wei Ring could not be activated, just like the petrified female Jedi.

What to do? (To be continued......)
