Ant Forest

Lin Yi passed the next larval stage safely in the scramble and being scrambled. Of course, if Kai hadn't been fighting against him all day, Lin Yi felt that he would be better off.

A Guo was moved by Lin Yi's enthusiasm and burst into tears. The only surviving Du Miao Miao in nursery 384 finally survived, which made him feel less guilty.

Lin Yi eats, sleeps, and fights wits and courage with Kai all day long, and at night, there is an extra meal secretly delivered by Sheng.Soon, he became quite thick, and standing with Sheng, Lin Yi turned into a huge, fat and clumsy larva!

This made Lin Yi feel even more inferior. Sheng is a majestic soldier ant, and he is a fat larva as fat as a ball. The difference is too big.

Sheng just noticed that the larva was feeling a little disappointed. He didn't know what the larva was thinking. The only thing he could do was to pat the larva on the head, and then——bring more food!

Lin Yi almost burst into tears and ate what Sheng sent. Sure enough, the appetite of the larvae is unlimited. Even if he was obviously too full to walk, when Sheng handed over the food, he could still eat it in one breath. Stuff it all in your stomach.

Lin Yi found out even more indignantly that his body size had surpassed that of A Guo, and continued to grow towards Sheng's body size.

Sheng's body shape tends to be perfect and explosive, strong and fit.As for him, Lin Yi tried his best to raise his tail, and then raised his head, only to find sadly that he could hardly see his stomach, because he was too fat, and he couldn't move it anymore...

The larvae in the nursery of No. 370 are not as repulsive and disgusting to Lin Yi as they were at the beginning, because his fat body is a symbol of future strength!

Even though Lin Yi still doesn't interact with the larvae very much, as long as he stands there with his size, the larvae will automatically give way, just like they did to Kai back then.

When Lin Yi didn't realize it, the nursery in No. 370 had vaguely turned into a tripartite force headed by Kai, Feifei, and Lin Yi.Of course, the only force that belongs to Lin Yi is himself.

Time passed by, and after Lin Yi shed his skin again, he found that his skin began to faintly turn black.

This layer of black skin made Lin Yi even more difficult to move, and all the larvae were in the same state.The worker ants no longer just pile food on the ground, but carry each larva to eat by themselves.

Sheng came to the nursery again, and Lin Yi was already lying in his little nest, unable to move.

Thanks to the big embarrassment that happened last time, Lin Yi made a side note from A Guo. This time, he should be pupating, and when he successfully emerges from the pupa, he will become a pup real ants.

"Xiao Yi." Sheng moved closer to Lin Yi, and lightly touched Lin Yi's head with his tentacles.

Feeling the soft touch on the top of his head, Lin Yi blurted out, "Sheng, will you come to see me? When I come out of the chrysalis, you will be the first to appear in front of me, right?"

Sheng looked at the cautious and expectant eyes of the larva, and his heart softened completely, "Of course, when you wake up, you will be able to see me right away."

"Really? That's great..." Lin Yi's voice became lower and lower, he could no longer resist the call of sleep, and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After Lin Yi fell asleep, Sheng still waited silently by the side for half the night. He watched with his own eyes that the skin of the larva became darker and harder, until finally it turned into a thick pupa.

The larvae turn into chrysalis, and finally into real ants. Isn't this what every companion will experience?

Sheng is used to watching the larvae hatch, molt, and pupate. The lucky little ones will crawl out early, while the unlucky little ones will stay in the pupa forever and sleep, and finally be sent to the cemetery.

But this time, Sheng found that he still couldn't calm down.

He was afraid, he was afraid that the larva would no longer be able to crawl out of the chrysalis, look at him wetly, act like a baby to him, and say many, many words to him.

"Sheng." Ah Guo was used to being frightened by the soldier ants who came to see Lin Yi's chrysalis every day, and was already very calm, "Ah Yi still needs a week, don't worry too much. "

"I know." Sheng replied absent-mindedly, his tentacles were on the pupa in front of him, and traced the outline of it thinly.It can be said that he knows this pupa better than any worker ant, and he knows what changes this pupa has every day.

For example, the color deepens, the hardness increases, or the temperature is too high.

Sheng's forelegs were stained with the water, and he carefully applied it to the chrysalis in front of him.Larvae always need an optimum temperature.

A Guo was obviously a little bit sad that Sheng, a soldier ant, was more careful than him, a worker ant. He couldn't help but reflect on himself. As a professional worker ant, could he really be inferior to a soldier ant who can take care of larvae?

Amid A Guo's self-pity, Lin Yi's chrysalis was completely out of touch with him.Sheng has almost regarded the pupa as his own, and never let any worker ants approach him, and even showed aggressiveness towards his companions who wanted to help him, which puzzled all the worker ants.

Maybe it's just that Sheng has some special possessive desire for that larva?Oh, that larva was rescued by Sheng alone...

Soon, the curious worker ants stopped paying attention to Sheng, and the life of all worker ants returned to normal, except for one anxious soldier ant who was always looking forward to the birth of a larva.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and spring outside the nest also came unknowingly.

Everything is born again, and the spring breeze blows across the earth.

"Crack." The sound of cracks gradually sounded, and the larvae that had slept peacefully in winter exhausted their energy in their pupae, and finally gathered enough strength to break through the shell that hindered them.

The newborn immature ants are all white jade-like in color, and they are extraordinarily delicate and fragile.

However, it doesn't take long before their bodies will gradually turn black, which is not only their protective color, but also symbolizes that they can start hunting with adult ants, protect their homes, and gradually grow into brave warriors who can stand alone.

The entire ant nest was immersed in joy. The newborn ants were their successors and their future. Every ant felt sincerely happy for their arrival.

However, the happy spring breeze did not favor Sheng. When the pupae in the nursery of No. 370 were cracking one after another, and healthy young ants crawled out of it, Lin Yi's pupa was still motionless. Here, until the end of time.

Sheng also became more and more anxious. He even refused the order of the soldier ant team leader, resolutely refusing to leave this chrysalis to participate in the mission.

Until the last chrysalis burst open and only a few chrysalis remained in the nursery.

After the pupae were repeatedly confirmed by the worker ants, they were unfortunately placed together, and the worker ants surrounded them with the most heavy sadness on their faces.

"May your souls be free." The worker ants saluted sincerely, and then took a step forward, using the highest etiquette belonging to the ant tribe, to send the pupae to the cemetery in the middle of the nest.They will rest there forever with all their dead compatriots.

"Sheng..." A Guo cautiously approached Sheng.

"Do you also think that Xiaoyi can't get out?" Sheng raised his upper jaw, refusing any worker ants to approach, and he firmly guarded the pupa behind him, even though it was still motionless.

"Sheng, we know you are sad, and you care about Ah Yi, but..." Ah Guo still wants to persuade.

"Xiaoyi is still alive!" Sheng thought so firmly. Before the larva pupated, it was so earnest that it wanted to be the first to see him when it came out. How could he break his promise?

"Sheng..." A Guo looked at him sadly, "A Yi, he wouldn't want to see you like this."

"Can't you feel that Xiaoyi's heart is still beating? His body is still hot!" Sheng looked at A Guo sadly, "I always thought that you were looking forward to his birth just like me."

"Of course I am!" Ah Guo said excitedly.

"That's good." Sheng returned to Pupa's side, wrapping its tentacles gently around it.

A Guo sighed, turned around and followed the big team.

Winter has passed, and the entire ant nest has almost exhausted its reserves for this batch of newborns. They will be very busy in the coming days, and Ah Guo can't keep delaying because of an unbroken chrysalis.

As much as he feels sorry, life goes on and he still has his responsibilities.

Sheng watched the worker ants leave, and there was nothing left in the entire nursery except for the chrysalis all over the place.

He firmly protected the chrysalis beside him, his eyes were full of firmness.Any ant that tries to separate him from his chrysalis will be driven out mercilessly by him, maybe, he is just crazy.

Soon, another batch of worker ants came over, and they were busy cleaning up the remaining pupae and debris, spraying new saliva, and disinfecting every place in the nursery.

Then, a new batch of eggs is placed carefully.They are born in spring and come to the world when the season is the best and the time is the most beautiful.

These eggs will grow into new young ants in the summer. They will undergo hatching, molt, pupation, and finally become a true member of this big family.

The worker ants tacitly avoided the soldier ant and the chrysalis he guarded. Perhaps, he could really wait for a miracle.
