487: Chapter 487 War Between Animals

The situation where Antss couldn't catch up to the Kangaroos was quickly resolved due to their numerical advantage.

Several Ants colonies coordinated with each other, encircling the Kangaroo herd from multiple directions.

They continuously tightened the encirclement, planning to annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Kangaroos in one fell swoop.

However, achieving success would be extremely difficult.

Kangaroos run by jumping, and their feet are in contact with the ground for a very short time.

In such a short time, Antss don't have enough time to climb onto their bodies. Even if they do climb on, they are very easily shaken off.

But once they climb on, they will enter the Kangaroos' ears, driving them mad through continuous biting until they are exhausted and give up resistance.

The encirclement slowly tightened.

The space Kangaroos could move in became smaller and smaller.

The Antss had successfully formed a massive encirclement, over a kilometer in diameter.

The Kangaroos moved back and forth within this encirclement, but they couldn't escape.

For both sides, this was the most dangerous time.

If the Kangaroos couldn't break through, they would completely become food for the Antss.

If the Antss continued to shrink the encirclement, the Kangaroos might take desperate measures and forcefully charge outwards.

This was a test of physical endurance, and also a test of psychological fortitude.

At this point, the Antss stopped advancing, and the encirclement stopped shrinking.

This action by the Antss gave the Kangaroos time to breathe, but at the same time, it made them lose the urgency to charge outwards.

Once the sense of urgency is lost, the courage to charge outwards is also lost.

This plan was very effective.

After the Antss stopped attacking, the Kangaroos continued to run for a while, then also stopped.

They stood in the encirclement resting, while continuously looking outwards.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Kangaroos didn't charge again, and the Antss didn't dare to easily shrink the encirclement, both sides entered a stalemate.

This stalemate lasted for three days.

The purpose of surrounding without attacking was to wear them down.

Antss don't have such high intelligence, but the Bee Queen does.

After three days without food and water, the Kangaroos could no longer endure; one by one, they collapsed to the ground, out of strength.

It was time.

The Antss launched their final attack.

They swarmed from all directions and began to devour.

The Kangaroos rolled and struggled, but it was futile.

Soon, the controlled Rats also arrived one after another.

A gluttonous feast began.

...

The Bee Queen would periodically corpse and decompose a portion of the Rats, converting them into crystalss to construct the underground base.

Currently, the base has already taken initial shape.

This base has no human living areas, only production warehouses.

Simulation Spider Robots are continuously being produced in the production warehouses.

It has now been discovered that in the humid eastern regions of Australia, there lives a type of exceptionally large insect: dragonflies.

The average body length of these dragonflies exceeds 1.5 meters, with the largest exceeding 3 meters.

This is a natural pasture.

As long as these dragonflies can be conquered, there will be no shortage of food for the Rats.

December 3rd, 2056 AD.

200,000 Simulation Spider Robots divided into 4 routes, passed through the Flinders Ranges, and began to attack Peterborough, located in southeastern Australia.

This area is on the western shore of Spencer Gulf, rich in water and grass, with lush vegetation, formerly a large pasture, now a paradise for dragonflies.

“Chirp~”

The Simulation Spider Robots, hidden by vegetation, moved through the jungle. As soon as they saw a dragonfly, they would automatically begin attacking.

The sound of laser weapons firing was very low, completely drowned out by the powerful noise of dragonflies vibrating their wings in the jungle.

Therefore, such attacks would not alarm other dragonflies at all.

“Chirp chirp~”

Two more dragonflies were shot down.

“Chirp chirp chirp chirp~”

The slaughter had begun.

Dragonfly corpses fell from the sky one by one, struggled twice, then stopped moving.

The battle continued from morning until dusk, and the Robots only advanced 20 kilometers.

These 20 kilometers of jungle were already covered with dragonfly corpses.

The sun set, and the battle ended.

Next came the most difficult work.

Dragonfly corpses cannot be directly fed to Rats; they need to be converted into feed.

This requires collecting the corpses and using a fully automated feed production line for production.

But why is this step more difficult?

That's because the fully automated harvesting aircraft are larger targets, and once they are targeted by the Tasman Empire, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Sure enough, at two in the morning, 5 strange aircraft appeared.

After they discovered the harvesting aircraft, they immediately launched an attack.

Fortunately, this harvesting aircraft was equipped with an Energy Shield, so their attacks had no effect.

A large number of Simulation Spider Robots counterattacked simultaneously, and the 5 aircraft were quickly destroyed.

Oriental Chen had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately ordered Xiao Lin to issue instructions to the Bee Queen to collect information on them.

Soon, the scan results came out.

The outer shell of this aircraft turned out to be the exoskeleton of a giant beetle, and miraculously, it flew by relying on the beetle's wings.

This was very strange.

The beetles were all dead, but their wings could still be used?
