The top has been breached, and sunlight shines directly into the hive through this hole, making the entire hive interior even brighter.
Ning Chuxia, Gan Wei, and the others were stunned by the scene that they could hardly imagine even in their dreams.
Many people expressed their feelings.
"This is so beautiful."
"Bees truly deserve to be called the civil engineering masters of the insect world."
"It's incredible how big a beehive looks when magnified."
Lu Qi curiously examined the floor of the nest, comparing it to the walls and the nests outside that could fit a car.
The nests on the ground were much smaller, only about one meter in diameter, and many of them were covered with a light yellow, thin film.
The thin film looked very sturdy, but stepping on it didn't cause any problems.
He took out a level-three alligator snapping turtle claw blade, cut open one of the membranes, and saw a fleshy bee pupa inside.
"Holy crap, Commander, this would be delicious if it were deep-fried!" a soldier nearby exclaimed.
Looking at the bee pupa, which was over twenty centimeters long, Lü Qi asked, "This thing is so big, can you really eat it?"
The soldier fell into deep thought, and after a few seconds, he said somewhat uncertainly, "How about I give it a try?"
Lu Qi was about to speak.
Suddenly, another soldier exclaimed, "So much honey!"
Without a second thought, Lü Qi rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.
Not far away, a soldier cut open the beeswax inside a honeycomb cell on the ground, revealing it full of golden honey.
The rich, sweet aroma is intoxicating.
Lu Qi was about to try some when he remembered that Ning Chuxia and Gan Wei were also in there.
He hurriedly shouted, "Madam Ning, Madam Gan, we've found honey! Please come and have a taste!"
Ning Chuxia and Gan Wei walked over.
Gan Wei dipped her finger in the mixture and tasted it; her eyes instantly lit up.
She smiled and said, "It tastes at least ten times better than regular honey! It's not just sweet, it has other incredible flavors too."
Ning Chuxia also dipped her finger in the blood and tasted it. Then she said seriously, "It's more nourishing than the blood of a level one evolved beast, and it feels different. It should be very beneficial to the human body."
Their words made Lü Qi and the others even more eager to try.
It wasn't until Ning Chuxia said, "You guys should try some too," that things changed.
Lu Qi and the others could no longer resist and all crowded around to taste the evolved honey.
"Damn, it's sweet but not cloying, awesome!"
"It's delicious!"
Just then, Chen Si shouted, "Madam Ning, Madam Gan, we've found royal jelly!"
This time, Ning Chuxia and Gan Wei were noticeably faster, appearing in front of Chen Si in an instant.
Sure enough, the nest in the corner was filled with a milky white, creamy, viscous substance.
Chen Si respectfully handed over a clean spoon, and Ning Chuxia took the spoon, scooped out a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
He slowly closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "The energy contained in this royal jelly even exceeds that of the blood of a level three evolved beast, and it is extremely gentle. Most importantly, its energy composition is different from that of beast blood. It is a completely new type of energy that can be absorbed 100%! Unlike beast blood, the more you consume, the less it improves your body."
Gan Wei also took a bite and felt that it tasted like yogurt, but it was countless times better than yogurt.
Moreover, after consuming it, she could even feel the mutated royal jelly transforming into energy, nourishing the cells it passed through.
It's a very amazing thing.
Gan Wei looked at Chen Si and said with a smile, "Chen Si, you should try some too."
Chen Si shook her head and said seriously, "I can't eat such rare and precious things."
After saying that, she started cutting open other beeswax to look for more royal jelly.
Gan Wei looked at Chen Si and sighed softly.
This super hive is huge and contains a lot of honey.
According to estimates by experts from the General Staff, if all the honey were collected, the total amount would exceed 300 tons.
Compared to honey, royal jelly is produced in much smaller quantities.
Even if you add them all up, the total amount won't exceed 20 tons.
After confirming that there were no other dangers near the hive, Ning Chuxia and Gan Wei rode the giant golden eagle toward the base of the heavy combined arms brigade.
Zhong Fu stood in the center of the super hive, looking around at the golden cells, and muttered to himself, "300 tons of honey, 20 tons of royal jelly, these are all food after all, and our existing transport containers simply cannot hold so much."
Chen Si squatted down and tried to cut the beeswax with an ordinary dagger, but found it very difficult.
She said casually, "These honeycomb cells are very sturdy, and the beeswax sealing them is also exceptionally strong. We can cut the honeycomb cells filled with honey directly off the whole cell for transportation."
Lu Qi's eyes lit up. He drew his bio-weapon and carefully cut along the edge of a honeycomb nest filled with honey.
They then called Zhong Fu and Chen Jian, and the three of them worked together to drag out the cut-up nest.
Sure enough, no matter how much they tried to keep it inside, the honey remained firmly sealed, without a single drop leaking out.
"Perfect!" Lu Qi said with a smile. "This way, we don't even need packaging! One honeycomb cell can hold more than a ton of honey, and 300 tons is just less than 300 honeycomb cells."
Just then, one of his men ran over with a large string of fried bee pupae, excitedly saying, "Commander, please try some! It tastes absolutely delicious!"
Lu Qi took it and took a big bite.
Then his eyes lit up.
This stuff is actually really delicious, and the best part is that it even has a subtle honey-sweet flavor.
It tastes much better than regular evolved insect meat!
Another subordinate rushed up to Zhong Fu carrying a bowl of unidentified stuff, exclaiming with delight, "Captain, just as you predicted, those mutated giant bees taste great after being roasted! They've evolved something like muscles!"
Zhong Fu took out a piece that looked like meat but wasn't, threw it into his mouth, and as he chewed, his eyes lit up.
It actually does taste like chicken!
And it's crunchy too!
Awesome!
Lu Qi walked over, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he exclaimed, "This is amazing! We've harvested so much honey, so many bee pupae and giant bee corpses, plus those bee stingers that can penetrate T2 skin and bones. It's a huge harvest."
Seeing Lü Qi's happy face, Zhong Fu couldn't help but wink at him and said with a beaming smile, "Commander Lü, I have to thank you for arranging this great job for our Third Regiment in the west, which has allowed us to make a great contribution."
Lu Qi looked at Zhong Fu with suspicion and said, "The credit for the Hive is shared by our Third Army. You don't think that just because you discovered it first, it becomes your main credit, do you?"
Zhong Fu laughed even more heartily, "Of course it's not thanks to this place. Didn't we rescue dozens of survivors in the villa area? There happened to be a former battalion commander of a heavy combined arms brigade's artillery battalion there, and he told us that there was a complete heavy combined arms brigade base nearby."
