The country of ant colony deep underground is busy, but it is silent. All the acid-eating ants cannot speak. As a whole, except for the queen who can use telepathy to transmit information, other ants communicate by colliding with each other's tentacles.
The environment of the entire Ant Country is so complicated. As the pit for dealing with dead ants, it is in the deepest part of the cave. Zhou Qingfeng is located in this place, dozens or hundreds of meters underground. He looks up at the passages and buildings above his head.
Glowing mosses and underground bacteria are everywhere, and they are responsible for providing air conversion for the ants. The underground river springs are abundant to ensure that all ants will not die of thirst. Food, air, water, and ecological circulation form a perfect balance.
But now this balance has been broken by a plague.
The queen of ant entered the tightly guarded egg-laying room, but telepathy and the entire nest. Zhou Qingfeng was following several worker ants to the hatching room because there was unprecedented big trouble there.
In the past, acidophile ants were tortured by "rot disease", but they relied on continuous reproduction to fight the spread of the plague. But now this cursed disease appears on unhatched ant eggs, which suddenly sounded the death knell for the entire ant colony.
After reading the so-called plague research by Justin and Mondino, Zhou Qingfeng was greatly disappointed with them. The pastor would only ask the gods, and if the gods did not reply, they would be helpless.
The necromancer's methods are not very good. They ask how the soul gets sick. If the ant can answer, will the queen of the ant be extremely desperate?
As for the others
"Jiying" who was wandering around said that she saw another group of strangers coming from the ant nest. However, the queen of the ant refused to reveal the information about those people and only asked Zhou Qingfeng to quickly find a way to calm the plague, otherwise everyone would be ruined.
"I'm really distressed, I'm not a veterinarian." Zhou Qingfeng thought randomly, "No, ants are not under the veterinary management when they are sick. God knows what's going on with this plague? Viruses, bacteria, parasites, who is the source of infection? What is the transmission route?"
Just look at the history of world civilizations and you will know how terrible infectious diseases are. Countless civilizations and races fall apart because of the invisible curse. Humans are deeply afraid of the plague due to the torture of diseases.
When the hatching room arrived, it was a big cave. The dense ant eggs were piled up on the ground in the cave, looking a bit like a strange egg. A large number of worker ants were responsible for taking care of these unborn ants babies, constantly in and out.
Under the illumination of glowing moss, healthy ant eggs have a milky white luster, while infected ones will have dark spots.
"Is this only one incubation room?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
The queen's telepathy went straight into her mind, "There are twelve hatcheries."
“Did all hatchery have infections?”
"Yes."
"Does the worker ants responsible for taking care of the ant eggs also show signs of infection?"
"have."
"Damn. Don't you know that infected and uninfected should be isolated?"
"It's useless. We've tried this trick long ago. But infected ant eggs continue to appear, and even become more. Even if the ant eggs just released are completely closed, corroded black spots will appear after a while."
Zhou Qingfeng was instantly stuck. In addition to being terrible, his understanding of infectious diseases is that the infected must be isolated. But if the isolation is useless, what should we do?
"Can you tell me the number of 'rot's disease' in recent years, susceptible groups, and locations of the disease? I want to do a data analysis." Zhou Qingfeng put forward new requirements, hoping to learn more about this invisible curse.
However
The chaotic footsteps that appeared from behind interrupted Zhou Qingfeng's communication with the queen of the ant. He turned around and saw several humans dressed in different clothes but arrogantly appeared in front of him.
The leader had a long face, curly hair and deep eyes, a cloak tied with a sonorous step. He smiled slightly when he walked up, and looked at Zhou Qingfeng with a playful look. The followers behind him were quite tall, and their eyes were filled with the smell of a fox and a tiger's power.
"You are Victor Hugo?" The 'length face' was taller than Zhou Qingfeng and asked with his chin lifted, "I've heard of you and your village."
Zhou Qingfeng frowned and asked the queen of the ant, "Who is this person?"
"I don't know, I don't care." said the queen, "I'm sure now that our tribe alone cannot solve the problem of the plague. Anyway, I've brought you into the ant nest, so it doesn't matter if I get you a few more.
These people seemed to be following you, and I asked the people to send out to surround them. After explaining the situation, they entered my nest as obediently as you. In the future, no matter who is close to our nest, they will be caught in."
It sounds like an adventurer who is in trouble. Everyone is in trouble and should help each other. But where did these people's arrogance come from?
The queen of ant interrupted, "This group of people seems to know you, so she asked me if I had also captured a team led by a boy?"
Zhou Qingfeng was even more strange. The person on the other side took the initiative to reveal his identity.
A servant stood on the side and said loudly: "His Excellency Hugo, in front of you is the son of Colonfire, the son of Long-legged, the direct descendant of the Northland hero "Long-legged" Levin, and the noble Marbury. Long-legged," said Mr. "
Zhou Qingfeng frowned even more and said lightly: "I haven't heard of it. What kind of long legs are there? How could there be such a strange surname? Are there people in your family long legs?"
The 'Slim Face'' face changed, and the few followers behind him were even more angry. The voice of the queen of the ant was once again in mind, "I advise you to calm down. There is no high or low among me. Whoever can solve the problem of our ethnic group can survive."
Zhou Qingfeng pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand. When the other party dared to move around, he would definitely use his ultimate move to kill him. However, the ant colony near the hatching room gradually gathered, forming a substantial deterrent force. None of the two sides dared to take action first, and finally he could only give up.
The 'Length Face' also brought people into the hatch room of the ant nest. Behind him, a guy dressed in a wizard stood up, picked up an infected ant egg, and observed it repeatedly. He himself shouted loudly: "The curse of the ant colony was mentioned in the notes left by my noble ancestor.
Fortunately, I remember what it was. The ancestor once proposed an idea to relieve it. He wrote in one corner of the page, 'I thought of a subtle idea, but unfortunately the page here is too small to write down.'"
After saying that, the "slim face" looked at Zhou Qingfeng proudly. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by light, and Zhizhu was holding it, and he had already controlled everything. This posture had been maintained for a long time.
Uncle Zhou was really frightened for a while, but after waiting for a long time but not waiting for the following text, he had to ask: "Then what's the exquisite idea?"
The 'skinny face' still raised his head, as if this question does not need to be answered at all. "It is said that 'can't write down', but 'can't write down'."
"I'll ask you any idea to solve the problem?"
“My ancestor said ‘can’t write it down’.”
"What a shitty idea? So you don't know."
"This shows the nobleness of our family's blood."
"You have a brain deformity on your thighs, so your surname is 'Long Legs'?"
"This is a humiliation of our family's reputation, and I want to duel with you."
Neither side had a good temper and was about to fight again. The ant colony had to force the two to separate.
The wizard holding the ant egg researcher smiled and said, "My Excellency Marbury, I think I have found a solution. My alchemy can be equipped with some unique potions, and this curse can be broken."
The "Length Face" was overjoyed and glared at Zhou Qingfeng viciously again. The queen of the ant was immediately warmer and asked them to solve the problem as soon as possible, and made a promise to do everything possible to meet any request of the solver.
Seeing these inexplicable guys leaving arrogantly, Zhou Qingfeng was full of anger and felt even more stressed in survival. He asked Cialek: "Didn't you say that this curse is unsolvable? I took a few glances for Mao and the others and said there was a way."
Cialek has been a mute recently and dared not speak.
