Chapter 122: Leaving the Anthill
I didn't expect to get lost.
After taking the two wrong passages, Chu Xiu remembered the positioning for the big oranges, so he turned on the system, called up the map, and walked along the channel closest to the location.
This passage turned around, and on the way, Chu Xiu changed two more passages, and finally arrived at the base.
But he did not come up from the passage he had gone down before, but from another passage.
Everyone was looking at Chu Xiu with blank eyes, and suddenly heard a cat meow behind them, turned around and looked, but they didn't expect Chu Xiu to come out, at this moment, it was jumping on the back of the big orange, staring at everyone with big eyes.
"Meow, why did you come from behind?" Cheng Xu turned around and asked, and he was also relieved to see it return safely.
"I'm lost, there are too many passages under this base." Chu Xiu said, "There are still a lot of passages connected to the outside of the base, fortunately, we bought a locator for the big oranges earlier, otherwise I might not be able to come back." ”
"What's down there?" Li Yihang and the others asked anxiously.
"It's like a big labyrinth." Chu Xiu said, "You have all watched TV before the end of the world, some programs about people and nature will broadcast introductions about ants, and the bottom is the same as the ant nest reported on TV, but it is countless times more than that." ”
"Are there many ants down there?" Qin Lao asked.
"Many." Chu Xiu replied: "There are still many ants underneath, and I have also seen the queen ant, it has been laying eggs, it can lay hundreds at a time, just these ants we destroy, it will not be long before it can give birth." ”
"Then this ......" When everyone heard this, their hearts were a little solemn, and Qin Lao's eyes were even darker as ink, and he looked worried.
"If it's true, if it's true, we live next to this ant, shouldn't we move the base somewhere else?" Someone said worriedly.
Qin Lao didn't speak, moving the base is not a trivial matter, besides, where can they move to?
"Let's take a long-term view of this, first have these caves filled, and then mark them and have them guarded." Qin Lao gave two commands, and then left with a solemn face.
These things in the base have nothing to do with Chu Xiu, in the final analysis, they are just passers-by, they have only been in the base for a short time, and their feelings for the base are not very deep, so as soon as Qin Lao left, Zhang Jiaxuan and the others said hello to Li Yihang and the others, and then left.
Zhao Liangyi also left, at this moment, his face was also full of worry, and on his rather cynical face on weekdays, there was a rare look of worry, and he looked at the whole person a little calmer.
"Are those ants really hard to deal with?" When I arrived at the villa of Cheng Xu and the others, he looked at Chu Xiu, who was in Cheng Xu's arms, and asked.
"It's hard." Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Unless the apocalyptic supermarket reappears." ”
"That's right." Zhao Liangyi was a little disappointed when he heard this, the Apocalyptic Supermarket had favored them enough this time, and it couldn't favor them every time.
Chu Xiu didn't say much about his worries, it also felt that this place was quite dangerous.
After all, this place is close to the forest, and sooner or later those plants will expand in this direction, so it will become more and more dangerous here, and there will be something else without ants.
But where else can they go? The city is full of zombies, and after cleaning up the zombies, with the city's extensive transportation, there may already be some dangerous things to settle in.
It is foreseeable that the living environment of human beings will become more and more severe, and human beings are destined to survive in the cracks.
After entering the villa, Zhang Jiaxuan released the thatched hut, and the two of them walked into the thatched hut with a cat, so that they could relax wholeheartedly.
It seems that Zhang Jiaxuan was also frightened by these ants who suddenly visited.
If another worm comes to him, even if it kills him, but even if it bites him, it's not fun.
"Meow meow."
Cheng Xu called Chu Xiu, "Didn't you say that these ants are very valuable before?" Look, should we find a way to get rid of these ants? ”
"This swarm of ants is going to be cleaned up." Chu Xiu replied, "But not now, I always feel that this group of ants is still of great use to us." ”
"What's the use?" Cheng Xu looked deaf.
Chu Xiu took out the ant droppings it had picked up, "This ......"
"In case this can be sold for money, you say, wouldn't it be a pity if we served these ants in one pot?" Chu Xiu said: "I think this seems to be quite beautiful, it must be something of value." ”
"In addition, this is becoming more and more dangerous now, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, although we are superb, but we also need help."
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Jiaxuan and both of them were a little curious.
"I'm just thinking, the two little demons of Xu Qing and Xu Ping were able to control those spiders, why can't we control those ants? No matter how bad it is, it's better for us to control the queen. ”
Chu Xiu said: "As long as the ant queen is controlled, we will be able to have a steady stream of gold coin income in the future, and even at critical moments, we can also let these ant armies help us go on the expedition."
"That's a good thing you said." Cheng Xu and Zhang Jiaxuan both agreed.
Before, so many ants poured out all over the place, and the scene really made them feel scared and frightened, but if these ants were in their hands, it was someone else who felt the fear.
Moreover, the nest of this group of ants is not far from this base, and it may be possible to protect this base in the future, as long as they can control their numbers, there is really no need to kill them all.
"I have one more thing to tell you." Chu Xiu thought for a while and said again.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Jiaxuan asked.
"You have to see Xu Qing and Xu Ping to say this." Chu Xiu replied, and there was a bit of humane worry and concern in his deep cat's eyes.
"Shall we go to them, then?" Cheng Xu asked tentatively.
"Okay, we have flying wings anyway, and it won't be long before we come back and forth, so I can explain it to you on the way." Chu Xiu thought for a while and said.
Although there are no spiders in that spider cave, it is not safe after all, although they have hung their lives with nutrient solution for a month, but what if they let the beast take it away? Isn't it a step too late?
Zhang Jiaxuan and the others are accustomed to Chu Xiu's resoluteness, since they said to go, then go, anyway, they have flying wings, and it won't be long, come back early, and come back early to rest.
The two of them set off quickly, and on the way to the flight, Chu Xiu told them his guess, which also surprised Zhang Jiaxuan and them.
Originally, they were the food of zombies, the food of alien beasts, and the food of mutated plants, but if they had crystal nuclei in their minds, they might become prey of their own kind.
