214: Chapter 214 Using the Queen Bee to Explore the Ant Colony

Why send crystalss to the Micro Queen Bees of Changjing Shelter?

Because Oriental Chen wanted to know why these Antss stopped there and didn't move. They definitely wouldn't stop there to rest for no reason. Nothing could be seen from the surface, but there might be something hidden underground.

Yan Fangfang's view was that this Ants colony might start building nests or reproducing on the spot after obtaining enough food. But the specific purpose still needed further investigation.

Evidently, the simplest way now was to let the Micro Queen Bees develop, and then mass-produce Bee Ant Robots to go out and scout.

Around 9 PM, Dai Zheng arrived above Changjing Shelter with his men and the crystalss. The base's aircraft, using anti-gravity engines, were very quiet, so they could fly very low without fear of disturbing the Antss.

Five large iron boxes containing crystalss were directly dropped into the central area of the Settlement, making a heavy thud as they hit the ground. The nearby Antss were disturbed and quickly crawled towards the iron boxes.

“Bang bang~”

They attacked the iron boxes with their wide fore-mandibles, but unfortunately, they couldn't cause any damage. Then more and more Antss surrounded them and attacked the boxes simultaneously, but none succeeded.

After Dai Zheng ordered the boxes to be dropped, he had the aircraft return to the base.

Subsequently, Xiao Lin issued instructions to the Micro Queen Bees through the Supercomputing Center.

Upon receiving the instructions, the Micro Queen Bees ordered the Bee Ant Robots to transport these crystalss to the underground hive. Immediately after, the Bee Queen began to mass-produce Bee Ant Robots using these crystalss.

As more and more Bee Ant Robots were manufactured, the Bee Queen could explore increasingly distant areas. By around 9 AM the next morning, the situation underground at Changjing Shelter was mostly clear.

After Oriental Chen got up and went to his office, the first thing that caught his eye was the 3D projection on the large screen.

“Commander, the underground situation near Changjing Shelter has been thoroughly investigated,” Xiao Lin reported.

“These Antss have been doing this for the past two days, haven't they!” Oriental Chen exclaimed as he saw the projection on the screen.

“Yes, Commander,” Xiao Lin replied.

What was displayed on the screen was a complex underground fortress, constantly extending outwards like roots.

“Antss are indeed natural builders in the animal kingdom. Such an engineering feat can be called a miracle of the biological world,” Oriental Chen said.

“Commander, from the analysis data, there is a Queen Ants in the underground Ants nest, which is mass-producing new worker Antss. It is expected that they will continue to migrate north by the afternoon,” Xiao Lin said.

“Understood. Inform Yan Fangfang to quickly notify the Soldiers stationed on the north bank of the river to blow up Changjing Bridge,” Oriental Chen said.

“Understood, Commander.”

Oriental Chen originally wanted the Micro Queen Bees to directly kill the Queen Ants. But on second thought, if the Queen Ants died, the Ants colony would fall into chaos, which could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

At the same time, during the process of differentiating new Queen Antss, the Ants colony would evolve wings. This, to a certain extent, increased the danger level of the Ants colony.

Moreover, crystalss were limited, and the Micro Queen Bees could not decompose so many Antss. So, other methods had to be considered to deal with these Antss.

...

Yujing City, Yusu Province.

10:20 AM.

“Look!” someone on the plane shouted loudly.

Another person looked down at the sound.

“Oh my goodness!” The person looking down felt a tightening in his heart.

“Quickly contact the Commander-in-Chiefs office!” a Soldier shouted at the pilot.

“Number 73518 calling headquarters! Number 73518 calling headquarters!” the pilot shouted, due to the loud aircraft noise.

“This is headquarters, Number 73518, please speak!”

“Large numbers of unknown creatures discovered on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Yujing City! Repeat, large numbers of unknown creatures discovered on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Yujing City!” the pilot reported loudly.

“Headquarters received, please continue reconnaissance.”

“Received!”

After receiving the reply, the plane continued to fly east along the Yangtze River.

Subsequently, dozens of transport aircraft took off from the Southeast Military Region and flew towards Yujing City.

Yujing City is the provincial capital city of Yusu Province, and also a super-large city in China. The Yangtze River flows through the middle of this city.

Therefore, if unknown creatures are found here, the problem will be very serious. Because such creatures might also appear on the north bank of the river.

They could only hope that they were not Antss.

Subsequently, the news spread to the garrisons of the other three Military Regions. Each Military Region had already dispatched a regiment of troops to guard the Yangtze River line, so upon receiving the news, they quickly rushed towards Yujing City.

The Southeast Military Region was the closest and received the news earliest, quickly arriving at the scene.

“This is...” The Soldiers looked down from low altitude, greatly surprised.

“Quick, quick, quickly land on the north bank of the river and set up defensive fortifications!” an officer ordered.

Subsequently, the aircraft arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River and hovered at a low altitude. The Soldiers descended one by one along the ropes. The Soldiers who landed first quickly sought cover and stood guard.
