Ant Forest

"It's impossible." A Guo's voice was very calm, he didn't believe Lin Yi's words.He just carefully checked the eggs over there last night. How could it be possible that they lost their vitality overnight?

Sheng walked behind Lin Yi, stretched out his tentacles to touch it, and his brows frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ah Guo felt more and more wrong, "Let me see, you young people are just too anxious..."

A Guo didn't finish his sentence, and stretched out his tentacles to touch it, and the rest of his words stuck in his throat, "This is impossible!"

This time, his voice was startled and angry.

The egg surrounded by them was clearly lifeless.

"How come..." Ah Guo's expression was not good. Although every nursery would always have some eggs that died before hatching, this one was still full of vitality yesterday.

Don't underestimate the memory of the worker ants, they can even remember the breath of each egg, he will not remember it wrong.

Even if the surface of that egg is still smooth and delicate, as white as jade, that doesn't mean it's still alive.

Ah Guo's heart was heavy, he ignored Lin Yi and Sheng, and quickly began to check the rest of the eggs.

There are hundreds of eggs in this nursery. What surprised A Guo was that he found more than a dozen dead eggs during his inspection!

This is not good news, even though the proportion of these dozen or so eggs in the entire nursery or even the entire nest is not much, but once every nursery is lost in this way, the total number is not small.

"No, I have to report to my superiors." A Guo picked out those dead eggs, feeling extremely distressed.

He didn't know what was going on at all, but he knew that the matter was beyond his ability to solve.

A Guo left in a hurry, Lin Yi's gaze stayed on the dead eggs for a while, and then looked at the live eggs.

Every egg is placed very well, and the snow-white eggs look very cute.

Lin Yi walked up to a living egg and touched it lightly. He lightly extracted a little energy from the light spots in his body and gave it to it. A faint, very happy consciousness came out of the egg. .

Lin Yi played with that consciousness for a while, then turned his gaze to another one.

That egg didn't look very good, Lin Yi's heart moved, his eyes flickered, and the whole world suddenly changed.In front of him is no longer a simple egg, but a soft spot of light, which represents the vitality and energy contained in those eggs.

Most of them are very faint, because they are still just eggs.If Lin Yi hadn't grown up, he wouldn't even be able to see these things. This is also the progress he has made since he became an adult.

However, Lin Yi soon realized that something was wrong, because he saw that many light spots were gradually becoming weaker, which were similar to the one in front of him. If he was not careful enough, it would be difficult to find this point.

These eggs are dying!

Lin Yi suddenly realized this, and his heart tightened.

Soon, Ah Guo called an old worker ant.

This worker ant has been dealing with these eggs all his life and is very experienced in raising young.And he himself loves the cubs very much, so when he heard what Ah Guo reported to him, he rushed over immediately.

"Let me take a look!" The old worker ant dismissed Lin Yi and Sheng who were in the way, and ran to the front by himself, ignoring the fact that he was still out of breath, and hurriedly began to check the eggs.

After a while, the anxious look on the old worker ant's face became more and more obvious.

A Guo was already in a hurry. He had experienced the blow of only one egg left in the entire nursery he took care of. His nerves were very fragile.

"Don't worry, there will be a solution." Lin Yi quickly comforted A Guo.

A Guo had no choice but to nod with tears in his eyes, he was already at a loss.

"What's the matter?" Soon, another worker ants hurried over.

Reproduction is a major event for every species, so even if it is just a small matter, worker ants will be very nervous.

Non-professional ants like Lin Yi and Sheng were quickly pushed out.

Lin Yi was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.He only knew that many eggs had problems, but he didn't know the reason at all, so he could only worry.

"Don't worry." Sheng patted Lin Yi on the head, "There are professional ants in the nest, they will save those little guys."

Lin Yi was still a little unhappy.

It's just that the optimistic things didn't happen. Not only the nursery that A Guo was in charge of, but also other nurseries had the same problem.

Now, it's not just a trivial matter.

Because it was winter, the ants stayed in their nests and didn't go out, so once something happened in the nursery, it quickly spread throughout the ant nest.

The entire ant nest exploded.

It can be said that the nursery is already the lifeblood of an ant nest.They can go out to find food without food, and if they are attacked by the enemy, they can fight bravely.But when encountering such a thing, the ants can only go crazy.

The cubs are the future and hope of every nest, and the ants would rather have an accident on their own than have their cubs get hurt.

So when the cubs had an accident, the entire ant nest became restless.

The worker ants in charge of medical treatment did not find any problems, so they could only invite priests.At this time, only the appearance of the priest can bring some comfort to everyone.

As an ant who had studied with the old priest, Lin Yi was naturally arrested.

The old priest looked even more haggard. Ge supported him, and he couldn't stand still.

Seeing Lin Yi, Ge just nodded, but the old priest greeted Lin Yi instead, "Yi, come and help me."

Lin Yi hurried up, Ge let go, and he supported the old priest.

The old priest's body was extremely light, and Lin Yi supported him, as if he was supporting a young ant, lightly.

Lin Yi's nose was a little sour again.

"Help me, old man!" The old priest pointed to the nursery.

Lin Yi hurried over there.

The old priest commanded Lin Yi, and almost looked through all the nursery rooms.

This process was very laborious. The old priest not only had to inspect many eggs himself, but also checked their living environment and asked them about their conditions during this period. Lin Yi couldn't take it anymore, but the old priest still kept his expression on.

If it weren't for Lin Yi who was still supporting a weak body at this time, Lin Yi would have thought that the old priest had nothing to do, and he was still in good health and ability.Only he knew that the old priest had almost put his whole body weight on him, and without Lin Yi's support, he might have fallen down immediately.

"Take a break." Lin Yi couldn't help but said.

The old priest shook his head firmly, "Continue."

Lin Yi had no choice but to support him to the next nursery.

After looking through all the nursery rooms, the old priest still maintained a condensed expression, but Lin Yi knew that he was actually trembling badly.

"Did you see anything?" The old priest asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi paused, "They don't seem to be in good condition."

"I know, I want to know something more specific, please tell me what you think." The old priest asked casually.

Lin Yi hesitated, swallowed, and said, "It's like an infectious disease."

The old priest didn't speak anymore.

In fact, what Lin Yi said was true.

It's just that once such news is leaked, it will definitely cause panic in the nest!The most feared thing in a closed nest is the occurrence of infectious diseases. Once it appears, the ants in the entire nest may suffer.They live together, and no one can avoid the other.

"Don't say it." The old priest sighed.

An infectious disease breaks out between ant eggs, so does that disease spread to healthy ants?No one knows.

Lin Yi knew how much shock this incident would cause in the nest, and he felt heavy in his heart.

"Move those sick eggs to a nursery, and the priest will heal them." Lin Yi instructed the ants who were still waiting for an answer.

Then he kept silent, no matter who asked him anything, Lin Yi ignored it.

The ants couldn't get an answer from Lin Yi, and they didn't dare to ask the priest, so they all went to carry the ant eggs.

Not every ant can identify those sick ant eggs, and even experienced worker ants are a little helpless.

Lin Yi sent the old priest back to the nest room, and then turned back to the nursery. He had to help the worker ants sort out the sick eggs, and he couldn't let them stay with the healthy eggs any longer.

The workload was even greater than before, and Lin Yi didn't know which healthy eggs were actually infected. When he screened out the sick eggs, he also included the healthy eggs around those sick eggs as observation objects.

After being busy for several days, Lin Yi finally took a breath.

If it wasn't for Sheng reminding him, Lin Yi wouldn't even know how many days had passed.

After all the sick eggs were found, the old priest drove Lin Yi away, and he took his various materials and tools into the nursery.

As for helpers, the old priest didn't bring anyone with him except his little apprentice Ge.

Originally, he didn't plan to bring Ge, but unfortunately Ge insisted on helping, so the old priest had no choice but to agree.When Lin Yi expressed that he was going to help, the old priest beat him all over his head with his cane, and drove Lin Yi away abruptly.

It is impossible for him to let Lin Yi follow in.He couldn't even guarantee that he would be able to come out alive, so how could he let Lin Yi take risks with him?

Although Lin Yi has not been passed on, the old priest still has great expectations for him.Lin Yi is very talented and has a great hope of surpassing him. If something happens to him, Lin Yi will become the successor of his will.

The old priest never told anyone, but he and the queen had already made an agreement.

Lin Yi who was kicked out was very depressed, but when he saw the haggard Sheng, he felt very guilty.

These things cannot be concealed from the nest's higher-ups. Although Sheng has not joined the official flying ant organization, he still knows what he should know, and the concealed ants do not include them.

Sheng knew everything, but still silently supported him, Lin Yi was both moved and distressed.
