Doomsday Farm System

The car drove to Yikang County, and the speed along the way was not fast. Even if it was driving on ice, it did not slip at all.

Su Shu occasionally saw cars driving from Yikang County to Beixuan Safety Zone, passing by him at a similar speed.These cars are all fixed glass.

"This should be the last batch of glass." Yuan Chuan also noticed these cars. "Now the greenhouses in the safe zone have almost been repaired, and the excavation of river sand has stopped. We should prepare to send dead plants there."

Su Shu also knows about this. His small farm does not need coal for the time being. There are heating systems for all kinds of heating, and electricity is also provided by the system. The kitchen does not even use coal. People in the declared safe zone live a better life.

Now that we are all going to Yikang County, let's take a look at the metallurgical worm farm. If the metallurgical worms are too busy, I can buy some more here.

All obstacles on the road in Yikang County have been cleared away. The group set off in the morning and arrived at their destination at noon.

In addition to Su Shu, Qiao Yulin, Yuan Chuan and Song Wudang, the group of five also had Zong Zhou of the Qingyun team.

Zong Zhou's observation technique is really easy to use. Although he wants to observe a certain place, he must first put his own ability mark there, but as long as the ability on the mark remains, no matter how long it takes, he will enter the mark radiation After the range, he can observe the situation inside through the observation number.

After entering Yikang County, the group first put the car in the other half of the city that has been taken care of. This place has been completely turned into its own territory by the Beixuan Safety Zone, and some patrols have also been arranged. Now In addition to being responsible for the daily work of the metallurgical insect farm, the people here will also slowly remove the zombies in the ice.

Anyway, the work of the farm is not complicated. Apart from feeding and moving the products, they don't even need to do the cleaning of the farm.Metallurgists love cleanliness and can take care of their own living quarters.

Su Shu didn't let Qiao Yulin follow to the other half of the city, but let him wander here casually.Anyway, Qiao Yulin's previous range of activities was also on this side.

Thus, the remaining four entered the range of the ground ants without delay.

Terrestrial ants will not actively attack humans, to be precise, they will not actively attack any creatures that enter their range, unless they destroy their buildings.

With Qingyun Team's previous pathfinding, the four of them moved very smoothly this time. They quickly found the entrance to the underground palace and began to walk inside.

Judging from Zong Zhou's observation skills, several people had already reached the second floor of the underground palace.Going further to the middle is the third floor where the Queen Ant is.

"The defenses of these ants on the road behind are very tight, so we didn't break through forcefully, for fear of angering them." Zong Zhou stopped here.

At this time, the observation technique can still see part of the road inside, but it seems that it is about to reach the center. Even Zongzhou's observation technique can't see anything at all.

"Mr. Su, what do you think we should do now?" Both Yuan Chuan and Song Wudang turned their attention to Su Shu.

The task of the two of them this time was to protect Su Shu's safety. Even if Song Wudang was particularly curious about whether he would be able to beat so many ants if he forced his way in, he knew how to measure, so he couldn't mess around at this time.

Su Shu stood where he was, looking at the rows of ants in front of him.

The ants on the ground are almost all about the same size, about two knuckles. They are larger than the ants before the end of the world, but they are already pitifully small compared to the mutated creatures after the end of the world.At this moment, these ants are walking along the road in an orderly manner, all carrying a large lump of dirt on their backs.

In addition to the row of ants on the ground, there are groups of ants operating on the walls around this passage.

Su Shu looked over carefully, and he could find that these ants were carving relief little by little.

Yes, the ants have not only dug out a passage that is high enough for humans to pass through, but now they are still carving exquisite reliefs on the walls around the passage. It is not a single ant that does this, but a large group of ants, and each ant is responsible for That part of myself, the final product is a complete picture.

Now Su Shu still doesn't know what the ants are carving. He can only see that there are some strange buildings near the bottom that have been formed, and there are things like huge ant feet.

Perhaps these ants are carving myths and legends that belong to the ants.

Looking at these dedicated ants, Su Shu didn't know if his trip could achieve his goal.Up until now, he hadn't noticed that these ants were acting strangely towards him, and he didn't even look at him more.

Oh no, maybe some ants took a second look at me. After all, these little things are placed here, even if they look at me, if I don't pay attention, I won't notice it.

He touched the ginseng essence with the hand in his pocket, and the latter tapped his palm twice with its roots.

This means negation.

There were so many people out this time, Su Shu didn't intend to let the ginseng essence appear just like that. After discussing it, I hid the thick one in his pocket and agreed on a secret sign at the same time.

This code is also very simple, one tap means affirmation, and two taps means no.In short, it is necessary to confirm whether these ants can communicate before proceeding to the next step.

As for the situation where ginseng essence needs to be translated aloud, Su Shu will naturally find another excuse to let everyone else go out.

Now, the meaning of the ginseng essence is that the ants they encountered were unable to communicate.

This is difficult.

Yuan Chuan and the others are still waiting for Su Shu's next instruction.

"Keep going." There is no way not to go on, these worker ants can't communicate, they can only see if the ants above them can communicate.If even the queen is unable to communicate, the colony may have to find another way, either abandoning the territory or driving them out.

However, the latter may not be easy to achieve.

But it would be a pity to give up such a large half of the border town, so the best way at present is to find one of these ants that can communicate.

The group continued to move forward.

Sure enough, after leaving this passage, the ants they encountered became more vigilant.

The previous worker ants only cared about building buildings, no matter what creatures passed by, as long as the passers-by did not disturb their work, these worker ants would not do anything.

But now the soldier ants standing in front of Su Shu and the others were different.

"Mr. Su, do you want to start a fight?" Song Wudang clenched his fists.

Su Shu shook his head: "Wait a minute."

Now that several people are all in the ant nest, it is really their side that is at a disadvantage in a fight.And I came here to discuss cooperation, so what's the deal with this fight?

This time, Su Shu got a knock from Ginseng Jing.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

In other words, these soldier ants can communicate!That's easy.

After knocking back and forth in his pocket with the ginseng essence, Su Shu finally determined that not all the soldier ants in front of him could communicate, only the part of the soldier ants who led them could communicate.

But anyway, it would be much easier if we could communicate.

Su Shu decided to ask Ginseng to try it.

He took out the ginseng essence from his pocket and threw it directly into the ant pile.

Su Shu believed that even if he hadn't discussed with Ginseng Jing, the latter would be able to understand his plan, would not mind his behavior, and would complete the task satisfactorily.

Ginseng Essence: ... Humans, you wait for me!

Song Wudang, Yuanchuan Zongzhou and the others on the side were very curious about Su Shu's sudden behavior of throwing a white radish into it.I don't know what this means, is it to give gifts to these ants to show their friendship?But how did Mr. Su know that ants like white radish?

Seeing that Su Shu had no intention of explaining, the three of them were very conscious not to ask.Even if they are already itching in their hearts.

The soldier ants in front of the four of them stared covetously, as long as these few humans dared to step into this range, the soldier ants would drive them out without hesitation.The human beings also know this, and they all wait quietly outside the safe boundaries.

Except for Su Shu, no one else knew what to wait for.

Until there was another movement in the direction where the white radish was thrown.

"Mr. Su, be careful." Song Wudang and Yuan Chuan immediately protected Su Shu behind them, looking ahead vigilantly.

Then, they saw a large group of ants coming over.

Surrounded by this group of ants in the center is an ant the size of a football, with red and white evenly distributed on its body, which looks unique.As soon as they saw the bulging abdomen behind this ant, everyone knew that this ant must be the queen ant.

The queen ant actually came out in person!

This is really rare.

Moreover, in addition to this, everyone also saw that the white radish thrown out by Mr. Su was being carried by the ants next to the queen. They felt inexplicably carrying a big sedan chair, as if the white radish was the group of ants. like a VIP.

But how is this possible?It was just a carrot.

Only Su Shu knew that this white radish was not a radish. Seeing the scene in front of him, he knew that the mission of Ginseng Essence had been successfully completed.

Surrounded by ants, the queen ant slowly walked in front of the four humans. Her long tentacles slid past her sister's face, and finally stopped at Su Shu.

The queen ant's tentacles cheerfully tapped forward twice, then stretched out in front of Su Shu, and stopped.

Su Shu watched the Queen Ant's actions and quickly understood.

He also stretched out his hand, ready to hold it.

"Sir." Yuan Chuan on the side cautiously stopped Su Shu.No one knew whether the sudden appearance of the ant queen was a friend or an enemy. Yuan Chuan was afraid that something would happen when he saw that Su Shu was going to run into him just like that.

Su Shu comforted: "It's okay."

Even if Su Shu couldn't understand what the queen ant said, he chose to believe in ginseng essence.

Su Shu shook it up, shaking it up and down politely, just like shaking hands with a human being.

He could obviously feel the joy coming from it through this tentacle: "Humans come with me." '

A voice came to Su Shu's mind.

He looked at the faces of Song Wudang and the others, and the other three looked at Su Shu nervously, as if they hadn't heard the voice at all.

Su Shu understood that the tentacles of the queen ant should have this function.

Therefore, Su Shu did not let go of the queen ant's tentacles, and said to the other three: "The queen ant is willing to chat with us, now follow her."

A group of people walked on the road of Ant Queen again.

After walking forward for a few minutes, after passing through an exquisite tunnel, a magnificent hall appeared in front of everyone.

To be honest, Su Shu was shocked.

Although he knew that these ants were master builders, he was limited to the identity of ants at the beginning, and his understanding of them was not enough. Only now did he realize that the master is worthy of being a master, and he can actually build this kind of building underground, using it as a game The temples here are no less impressive!

The queen ant walked to the top throne and sat down, motioning for Su Shu to sit on the side.It was a position that was as refined as the throne.It was enough to see that Su Shu played a significant role in the Ant Queen's place.

Su Shu sat down unceremoniously.The hand that was holding the antennae of the queen ant had already been let go when entering this hall.

The other three people also wanted to find a place to sit down, but no matter where they tried to sit, there would always be an ant staring at him.The three finally chose to stand behind Su Shu.

Anyway, they all came here to serve as bodyguards for Mr. Su.

The ginseng essence had already been received by Su Shu in his pocket on the way here, knowing that he would not have a role in the show, he had already closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

The queen ant's antennae touched the antennae of the guardian ant next to it, and the latter got the order, and quickly brought up plate after plate of shiny things, and placed them in front of Su Shu.

Su Shu looked at the queen ant.The latter signaled Su Shu to eat.

This queen ant seems to understand human things very well, and she even entertains guests with food.

Su Shu picked up one and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully. When he got it in his hand, he realized that it was soft, with a thin film on the outside and something like liquid inside.

He put one into the system backpack, and saw that the classification of the system backpack had changed to "Caramel Liquid".

It turned out to be sugar!

It was a pleasant surprise.

Since the system said it was edible, Su Shu fed one unceremoniously, which startled the three people standing behind him, and all looked at Su Shu nervously, for fear that something abnormal might happen to him.

On the contrary, the ant queen on the throne saw that Su Shu was so happy, and her tentacles became more and more cheerful.

Su Shu pointed to the caramel syrup on the plate and asked, "I wonder if you can tell me how this thing came about?"

The queen ant nodded, and without waiting for Su Shu to move, she walked up to Su Shu by herself, and stuffed her tentacles into his hands.

'Born by our slaves, would you like to see it?I can show you. '

Su Shu nodded: "Okay, thank you, I am indeed a little interested in this. But before that, what do you think about our coming this time?"

'Is that what the fat man said about helping you fix the house?It's okay, it's okay, I'm already bored here. '

"It's cooperation." Su Shu said it more carefully.

Afterwards, he passed various matters about cooperation from his mind.The main reason is that the humans in the Beixuan Safe Zone can hire the ground ants to build buildings. While paying the wages of the ground ants, humans will also help them guard this part of Yikang County, preventing other creatures from disturbing the ground ants.

Of course, the specific matters are more than that simple, and those are things that will be discussed in detail after there is an intention to cooperate.

The queen ant's voice sounded very ethereal, but it looked like it had a lively temperament. As soon as Su Shu finished talking about these things, the other party nodded repeatedly and immediately agreed.

Su Shu was also surprised: "Aren't you afraid that we will lie to you?"

The queen ant said proudly: "We have a lot of ants. If you dare to lie to us, we are not easy to mess with." '

Su Shu was stunned.

It turns out that this is confidence in strength.

' And I don't think you'll lie to me. ' said the queen again.

What else could Su Shu do, of course, he had to be worthy of this trust.

The cooperation is so simple. The queen ant cannot easily leave the ant nest. At that time, it will send its left and right assistants to follow Su Shu and others to the Beixuan safe zone to discuss specific cooperation matters.The ant queen and the deputy had a special spiritual connection before, even if they were so far away, they could still send messages to each other, and they were not worried that the deputy would not be able to make the decision.

Afterwards, the queen ant happily took Su Shu to the place where the slaves were held.

Song Wudang, Yuanchuan Zongzhou and the others didn't know where Mr. Su was going, but anyway, they focused on Mr. Su and just followed behind.

Su Shu was even more pleasantly surprised when he saw the slaves in the mouths of these ants.

If he was not mistaken, these bugs that were treated as slaves by ants turned out to be aphids!

Su Shu remembered that before time travel, he had learned about aphids in Chinese textbooks, and he was very curious about this kind of insects that could produce honey.He also deliberately checked the information about aphids, and then learned that these insects are actually pests, and the honey they produce cannot be eaten.

At that time, Su Shu felt very disappointed, and imagined how great it would be if the honey produced by aphids could be eaten by humans.

Unexpectedly, the fantasy that was not realized in the previous world has come true in this world.

At this moment, the aphids that have been turned into slaves by the ground ants are all quite big, and each one is even bigger than the queen, but each aphid rides a ground ant on its head, and is driven by the ground ants without complaint. Work.

Su Shu also didn't see how these aphids operated. They waved their front paws in the air a few times, as if stuffing something, and then opened the wings on their back, and a large ball of caramel would appear.

After the caramel appeared to a certain extent, the aphid's wings closed again, and the caramel was cut off. Before it fell to the ground, there were already ants waiting to carry it.

Su Shu knew from the queen ant that the produced caramel was too viscous and highly concentrated, so it was not suitable for direct consumption.After being removed by other ants, it will be transported to the treatment room for processing, and then the caramel solution presented to Su Shu.

This saves you the step of making your own sugar from beets.

Su Shu immediately asked the queen ant: "Is there a lot of sugar liquid produced? Do you have enough to eat? If there is a lot, you can trade it with humans."

The queen ant doesn't care: 'Do you want it?We have a lot of this kind of thing, and we are almost tired of eating it, so you can take it if you want. '

Naturally, Su Shu couldn't just take it casually.He first took a ball to go back to the logistics of the Beixuan Safety Zone, and let the people in the Safety Zone discuss how to trade with the ground ants to achieve a win-win situation.

This time I went out for a trip and the harvest was really great!

When he returned to the metallurgical worm farm, Qiao Yulin was already waiting here.

Qiao Yulin saw the two ants in Yuan Chuan and Song Wudang's arms at a glance, and he knew that this time the matter was over.

"As expected of Brother Shu, I knew there was nothing that Brother Shu couldn't do."

Su Shu ignored this person who was shooting his rainbow farts all the time, and asked him: "We are going back to the safe zone now, will you stay with us or stay here for another day?"

Qiao Yulin was taken aback: "Are you going to come back?"

"Yeah." Su Shu nodded, "There are still things to finish."

What is the reason for this strange boundary between the two halves of Yikang County?And after the cooperation is negotiated, he has to send the two ants back to see if there is anything else that needs to be communicated with the queen.

Su Shu couldn't guarantee whether other people would be kicked out by the ants if they came to act as the middleman.

"Then I'll wait for you here." Qiao Yulin didn't actually take a stroll just now, but now that he knew it was still early, his thoughts began to move.

Su Shu didn't care. After telling Qiao Yulin to pay attention to safety, he returned to the Beixuan safe zone with two ants and a ball of caramel.

Duan Kangcheng has been waiting for Su Shu's news. He never thought that things would go so smoothly, and there would be other gains.

"Hahahahaha Mr. is indeed Beixuan's lucky star!" Duan Kangcheng was extremely happy.
