It is probably because of the ants' feeding habits that the basin attracts them, since the forests and grasslands in the basin are extremely fertile, and the growth and variety of plants are better than in other places.
However, it was also because of the ants' ability to feed on plants that the animals in the basin had a chance to escape.
Good or bad can never be generalized.
The terror and danger of ant swarms are self-evident, but compared to more aggressive mutated beasts and other mutated creatures, the danger of ant swarms, which can be lured away, is relatively low for humans.
Human beings judge the dangers of nature not by how powerful the other party is, but by the degree of harm it brings to humanity.
As the saying goes, "first pig, second bear, third tiger," this order of danger for these three wild animals represents the degree of harm they pose to humans, not their fighting strength.
However, it's not easy for Liangcheng to react so quickly and respond so promptly this time. Fortunately, the Liangcheng military has always been very effective since the earthquake, and after stabilizing the city, the watchtowers and reconnaissance posts have never been neglected.
The danger posed by the ant colony was detected the moment it appeared, and it was reported immediately. The research team then began discussing solutions.
It's no surprise that the Liangcheng military is so vigilant, given how unfriendly the current environment is to humans, with both mutated beasts and mutated plants causing them a lot of headaches.
The situation in the city had finally stabilized, but the sweltering heat has caused widespread anxiety. Even the city's only water source, the river, has dried up somewhat. To alleviate this problem, the military has focused its efforts on digging for groundwater.
Just yesterday, they successfully discovered groundwater in the city, alleviating the water problem. Before they could even celebrate, the reconnaissance team brought terrible news.

The swarm of ants that devoured everything in their path resembled bright red blood, sending chills down one's spine.
Fortunately, the research team was well-equipped, including biologists and other experts. In less than an hour, the military produced several types of medicine to drive the ants away. However, the liquid and powder medicines were not very effective, and some of them almost caused the ant swarm to riot.
Fortunately, they eventually developed a powder that was extremely attractive to ants, successfully guiding the ant colony in another direction.
According to the reconnaissance, the ant swarm showed no sign of turning back and continued forward, already ten miles away from Liangcheng.
Upon receiving news that the crisis had been averted, the gathered superhumans breathed a sigh of relief and then went home.
In fact, most of them were unwilling to leave easily. Although there was no news from other cities, people continued to flee to the city. Under the great disaster, the collapse of human society and the disappearance of order led to countless terrible tests of human nature.
Because Liangcheng has a sufficient army and a leader capable of reorganizing order, nothing particularly outrageous or inhumane has happened, but that doesn't mean such things won't happen.
We all lived in a peaceful era, and when information was readily available, we all saw similar movies and novels to some extent, so we all know what's going on.
In such an environment, naturally no one would want to leave the relatively stable Liangcheng.
Amo and the others did the same. The three of them and the dog returned to the small building, put the packed bundle in the corner, but showed no intention of taking it out again.
Amer was always cautious; he was waiting, waiting until he was absolutely certain there was no danger before making a move.
Ah Xu brought over the smallest backpack, placed the food and drinks on the table, and didn't plan to tidy up anything.
The world is becoming increasingly dangerous, with all sorts of mutated creatures emerging one after another. Coupled with the water supply problems in the city, he had long felt uneasy.
Anyway, everything's packed, so let's leave it at that for now. Who knows, this crisis might not even be over for three or five days before another one hits.
Their lives now can be described as precarious.
Yao Yao leaned against Afu and dozed off. The little girl had been tense all day, so she was naturally very tired after relaxing.
Afu lay quietly, tilting its head to watch its little master fall asleep, and then squinted its eyes and pretended to sleep as well.
Liangcheng had just seen off the ant swarm when another city was visited by the ant swarm.
This time, however, the horde of mutated ants that struck fear into the hearts of the people in the city failed to frighten them in the slightest.
The swarm of ants, flowing like bright red blood, had just reached the edge of the city when they were swept away by countless vines.
"Count..." The faint sounds of countless ants formed a muffled buzz.
With a series of buzzing sounds, the ant swarm quickly changed direction and left the area.
But at this point, whether or not they leave is no longer their decision.
In the direction they left, countless pieces of ground were torn open, and the sound of whipping echoed continuously. The sudden appearance of vines seemed like lurking creatures that had been lying in ambush in the ground for countless years, as if they had been waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
When the ant colony found its path blocked and suffered heavy losses in the two waves of attacks, angry buzzing sounds immediately emanated from within the colony.
Immediately, all the ants abandoned their food and frantically crawled towards the waving vines. Once they climbed up, the sharp edges began to tear at them, and in no time, many of the vines were bitten off.
