By the time Zhou Qiang and his friends were eating, the queen ant had also finished eating the meat.
“Puff…”
Then, a strange sound was heard, and when Zhou Qiang looked up, he saw the queen ant laying eggs non-stop.
Strong and honest.
Soon, there were hundreds of eggs as long as fingers on the ground, and the scene became a little weird for a moment.
In other words, is it possible to create an army of ants?
It looks like I'll have to wait here for a while.
Time passes slowly. For most people who are numb or even struggling on the brink of life and death, whether it is a day or a year, it is still a struggle.
Nearly a week passed like this, and during this time Zhou Qiang never left Shuangyan Town.
And on this day, it started to rain.
"What kind of treasure could there be here?"
A voice that was obviously unbelieving sounded, and it sounded very familiar.
"You've always said that the spiders you have are not enough. I'm going to give you a big gift."
Zhou Qiang's cheerful voice sounded.
Yes, more than a week later he was back in the dugout.
Surprisingly, those people did not leave, and everyone stayed there to build.
Some people are hoping for the best, thinking that even if something happens in the sacred city, the radiation would not be able to spread so far.
There is also a part that is exactly as they said before, waiting for Zhou Qiang's result.
But it seems that everyone has forgotten the child who left with a full stomach and the black wolfdog that was split from the black wolf.
As the sound came closer, several people appeared in front of the village.
This was the first time Tang Jianlong came back after Shuangyan Town was completely destroyed.
Seeing this once familiar world become like this, he looked somewhat sad.
But he quickly calmed down.
The two people walked all the way inside and then stopped in front of a building.
"Open the door and take a look."
Zhou Qiang gestured.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Jianlong carefully opened the door.
All you see are pure white egg cocoons, emitting a bright luster.
"This is??"
Tang Jianlong was shocked.
"These are all ant eggs. I'll give you a colony."
Zhou Qiang smiled and pointed to a slightly larger white object in the center of the egg.
Tang Jianlong's ability is a kind of strange affinity, which can have a great impact on some special animals and the like.
But before that, we couldn't find any other creatures except spiders.
"I, what should I do now?"
Tang Jianlong was a little overwhelmed.
Happiness comes so suddenly, just like a person walking on the street and suddenly picks up ten thousand yuan.
And it’s ten thousand yuan that I don’t have to pay back.
"Go and tame it."
Zhou Qiang pushed Tang Jianlong, and the guy staggered closer.
Tang Jianlong could feel that there was an exceptionally vigorous vitality all around him.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on the cocoon.
He was trying to talk to this life.
Zhou Qiang watched him from a distance and did not choose to disturb him at this time.
In just one week, he managed to advance by eating the queen ant's corpse using the eight-eyed python's corpse.
However, after the promotion, this guy's level is still not as good as others, and he is only at level five now.
Compared with Tang Jianlong who is at level 6, he can't compare.
Sure enough, Zhou Qiang soon saw Tang Jianlong nodded in surprise.
"It's done!"
For an ant colony, it is enough to just control the mother ant.
The sound of leather being torn was heard, and an ant, which had shrunk in size, crawled out in front of Tang Jianlong.
This is a queen ant with a very smooth body. She is not so fat that you can't even tell her true appearance. Her upper body still looks like an ordinary ant.
There is even a pair of wings on the back.
It’s like they have been rejuvenated. All they need to do next is go on a nuptial flight and they will soon have an ant colony.
This time, Zhou Qiang and his team were lucky to have encountered this situation.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, you can only see the queen ant after all the ants in a large group are killed.
But in that case, the queen ant would absolutely not cooperate with humans.
The mouthparts in its mouth made a friction sound, followed by a series of tearing sounds, and at least two hundred ant eggs on the ground were all opened.
Moreover, these ants are quite different from the one Zhou Qiang saw last time.
It is slightly larger in size, and has four wings on its back instead of two.
The color of the body is also darker, full of metallic hue.
It looks more powerful than those.
Zhou Qiang smiled.
Next, we will feel more confident when we try to snatch those ants back.
The queen ant lay obediently in front of Tang Jianlong, and Tang Jianlong played with her for a while as if he was playing with a new toy.
The population of ants actually has certain similarities with that of spiders, but spiders will leave their mother bodies when they grow up, but ants will not.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder began to flash in the sky outside, and the first rain of autumn fell.
The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and this rain was even corrosive, just like the previous rain.
Whenever it rains, both zombies and humans will stop all activities.
It was unknown how long the rain would last. When Zhou Qiang walked out of the room to leave Tang Jianlong alone, he saw Yang Yang squatting under the eaves of a house not far away.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, Yang Yang turned around and found a handful of rain water in his hand.
These corrosive raindrops have no effect on the child?
"The rain gave me a very intimate feeling, and I wanted to see if I could make my abilities become like that."
Everyone was busy this week. Zhou Qiang was busy breeding the ants, Yang Yang was also developing his abilities, and Yang Jing was taking care of their daily lives.
Zhou Qiang squatted quietly in front of the child, watching the child stretch out his other hand and begin to play with his own strength.
The flame and water mixed together can be easily integrated and can also be easily taken out.
After Yang Yang did something, the ball of strange color in his hand actually became transparent.
Zhou Qiang picked up a piece of wood and threw it over, and instantly a crackling sound was heard.
Yang Yang actually managed to produce this, it is as corrosive as rain!
Zhou Qiang looked at the child in shock. Who could have thought that the child who couldn't even get enough food to eat would become so powerful now?
"You are really great now. You have the ability to protect the people you need to protect."
Zhou Qiang looked at the child and praised him with soft eyes.
Yang Yang raised his head and looked at Zhou Qiang seriously.
"I can protect you, too."
Zhou Qiang laughed loudly and reached out to rub Yang Yang's head hard twice.
"Okay! But you have to become stronger!"
Speaking of which, this kid hasn't upgraded for a long time. Zhou Qiang is now unsure what the opportunity for this kid's upgrade was.
The town's terrain has long been changed, and the lowest point is the pit in the middle of the village.
Most of the rainwater began to flow to that place, and who knows, a small puddle might appear there soon.
Hmm... a small puddle that cannot be touched.
Tang Jianlong came out from behind and was about to say something when a scream suddenly came from a distance.
Yang Yang immediately rushed into the rain!
Zhou Qiang was shocked and chased after him.
They all recognized that the voice was Yang Jing's.
But Zhou Qiang couldn't figure it out. This village had been cleared several times. What danger was there?!
He took out a flare gun and fired a flare into the distant sky.
Under the faint red light, some extremely twisted plants could be seen struggling in the rain in the center of the town.
"Wood God?!"
Zhou Qiang was shocked.
That guy has actually approached this side without us noticing? !
But after observing carefully for a few seconds, Zhou Qiang calmed down a little.
Although it does look like a plant, it is more like a vine or something rather than a tree.
The aura is wrong, and the level is wrong.
A young girl was caught by one of the vines and swung around in the air, but it seemed that no one wanted to hurt her?
When Yang Yang heard his sister's voice, he lost control of himself. A huge ball made of water and fire appeared above his head, and then smashed hard at the vines.
“Woo!”
A shrill scream rang out, startling Zhou Qiang and the others.
A branch of the vine began to burn, and Yang Jing was let down because of the severe pain.
Yes.
It was carefully placed on the ground.
Seeing that Yang Yang was about to launch an attack, Zhou Qiang quickly stepped forward and held him down.
"Wait, don't attack yet."
Even though they are now level six, they still feel uncomfortable being corroded by this rain.
And Yang Jing is just an ordinary person, how could she not show any signs of excessive pain at this moment?
Looking more carefully, Zhou Qiang soon discovered that although the vines were still twisting, some of the branches were blocking Yang Jing's head, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
It blocked a lot of rain for the girl.
Can the God of Wood do this?
Judging from that guy's crazy temper, it was good enough that she didn't turn Yang Jing into a plant-like zombie right away.
Yang Yang was stunned, looked at Zhou Qiang and finally chose to believe him.
He rushed to Yang Jing quickly, grabbed his sister and started running out.
The energy in his body was condensed into a thin layer to block Yang Jing's head, preventing the girl from being hurt.
When the brother and sister left the range of the vines, Zhou Qiang, contrary to his usual behavior, walked over there.
“Don’t go over there!”
Tang Jianlong's voice came from behind.
This guy has an indescribable feeling towards those plant-like beings, which may be due to the terrifying degree of the Wood God that Zhou Qiang had mentioned before.
Zhou Qiang waved his hands backwards and stood directly in front of the vine without even doing much to protect himself.
"Can I communicate with you?"
He spoke loudly to a plant.
After a long time, just when Tang Jianlong thought he might have gone crazy, a dull voice came from the bottom of the plant.
"Help!"
Tang Jianlong was shocked.
Zhou Qiang nodded, moved closer again, and even bravely began to touch the branches of the vine.
These vines cooperated very well and opened a path for him.
He followed the path to the bottom of the cave, taking out a flashlight.
When he reached the end, he stopped.
I saw a child with green skin lying there, with dense plant roots all over her body, or rather, those plants actually grew out of the child's body.
The baby tried his best to turn his head to look at Zhou Qiang and opened his mouth.
"Help!"
Seeing this strange situation, Zhou Qiang remained vigilant and drew out his knife.
Until the two sides were less than one meter apart, Zhou Qiang was 100% sure that he could stab the baby to death with one knife at this position.
The other party did not attack.
"How can I help you?"
Zhou Qiang asked.
In fact, half of the baby's body was submerged in water. No matter how dense the vines outside were, it was impossible to completely block all the rain.
"Help me cut off the roots at the bottom, it hurts!"
Maybe the baby became more proficient after saying two sentences, and the words coming out of his mouth were obviously more fluent.
Zhou Qiang looked under the baby, then nodded, walked over and started cutting.
These roots are more flexible than expected, and some light red liquid will even flow out after being cut with a knife.
Although the child didn't say a word during infancy, Zhou Qiang could notice that he would occasionally look at him.
Until all the roots on the back were cut off, the vines on the baby's body began to wither slowly.
But the baby's body was still tender and not injured.
“Take me out!”
The voice rang out again, and Zhou Qiang, with the idea of being a good person to the end, went straight over and picked up the child.
It's very light and feels like a real child, even a little warm.
Stepping on the vines, Zhou Qiang came out quickly.
In the distance, brother and sister Tang Jianlong and Yang Yang were stunned when they saw the child in his arms.
They have been in this place for almost a week, and no one has found the child?!
Back in the house where the queen ant stayed, under the bright light, the baby's appearance was exposed to everyone.
It really looked like an ordinary three or four-month-old baby, and its body looked particularly tender. Zhou Qiang even subconsciously took out a blanket and wrapped the child.
but.
Human babies who are three or four months old cannot speak.
"Can you please tell me what you are?"
Zhou Qiang looked at Tang Jianlong and the others who were acting cautiously, so he had to speak up himself.
The baby looked at him quietly and sighed.
"Have you forgotten me?"
