Professor Chen and the others saw this shocking scene.
Professor Chen was so excited that he almost fell back.
Fortunately, Xue Liyang was quick enough to support the old professor.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Haha, I'm not dreaming, am I?”
The old professor was so excited that his voice trembled.
A few of his students were also very excited." No, Professor, this is real. We saw it too!”
"It feels like a dream, but it really exists.”
"This is unbelievable!"
Just as the few of them were cheering, Lu Chen's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
"Wait, don't make a sound!"
Lu Chen shouted softly and then gestured to everyone to lean against the wall.
Although they did not know what had happened, they still followed Lu Chen's instructions.
"What's wrong?"
Xue Liyang asked Lu Chen.
"There's movement!"
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound coming from below.
Then, a group of unusually large ants appeared in front of everyone.
These ants were arranged in an orderly manner, and each of them was half the size of a human.
However, they were different from the large soldier ants he had encountered in the passageway. These ants had flat jaws and a pair of small jaws.
These were the worker ants of the ant colony, which were also the existences that transported grain.
Behind this huge group of worker ants, there were countless normal-sized ants.
If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it clearly.
"Damn, there are so many ants. Did we alarm them?”
Fatty Wang asked.
"It doesn't look like it!"
"These ants are walking towards the boardwalk, and they are carrying food on their backs.”
"They probably need to replenish the food for the babies in the base camp!”
Lu Chen said. Everyone was shocked.
This was because they were in one of the ant eggs 'caves, and their position was relatively lower. Wouldn't that mean that the group of ants would soon reach them?
"Then what should we do? There are so many ants. Once they discover us, we'll be dead!”
Fatty Wang's words caused a commotion in the crowd.
The dense swarm of ants below made one's heart palpitate and panic.
Especially when there was a group of worker ants that were so big in front of them. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
"That's right, Big Brother Lu. What should we do now?”
"Are we going to wait for the ants here?”
The ants moved very quickly and were very efficient in assigning tasks. Soon, the food was distributed to the second floor.
"Let's retreat first!"
The situation in front of him could not be delayed, so Lu Chen made a prompt decision.
"Good!"
Everyone had no objections and hurriedly retreated.
"These ants move very quickly, so I don't think they'll be particularly careful. However, it's hard to guarantee that they won't have any special methods.”
Lu Chen was the last to leave the hole. He lifted the sealing soil and covered it again.
Just as the seal was closed, a pair of ant antennae poked out from the hole in front of them.
A few worker ants carried the food on their backs and placed it on top of the light yellow meatball.
The leading ant even touched the top of the meatball with its antennae. Once the food was placed on it, the meatball seemed to have received some command.
A hole slowly opened from the top, completely wrapping the food in the meatball. At the same time, the meatball quickly secreted milky white mucus, and the fluorescence on its body gradually faded. The black dots inside the meatball slowly moved, slowly approaching the food, digesting and devouring it.
Lu Chen, who had left a gap behind the seal, could not help but swallow his saliva.
It wasn't that the scene of eating shocked Lu Chen, but that the food made his hair stand on end.
The so-called food was actually a human corpse. It was wearing a foreign outfit when it was transported over.
His body was already a bloody mess. It was obvious that he had been bitten to death by ants.
Such a miserable sight made one's heart turn cold, and one's abdomen would unconsciously feel a sense of disgust.
"Phew!"
Letting out a breath, Lu Chen sealed the soil and stopped looking.
Judging from the situation, these ants would eat anything, especially large carnivores.
They would all be transported to this "base camp".
As for the small food, it was probably used to feed the small ant eggs.
And this should be the place where these big ants were born.
Lu Chen pondered deeply and felt that there was something fishy about the light above his head.
Otherwise, if he had built such a huge ceiling and engraved such exquisite patterns on it just for the sake of dignity, he would have been able to do it.
The price was too high. Lu Chen felt that this was definitely not the main reason.
There were other more important uses.
For example, why was the ant so huge? Lu Chen felt that it might have a lot to do with the yellow light emitted by the strange ceiling above his head.
Lu Chen pondered. As for the others, they replenished their strength and water.
Although the underground environment was humid, they were still in the desert. They did not have much water, and most of it was on An Liman's camel.
At this moment, the water source he brought with him was almost finished.
Xue Liyang took a sip of water and left some for Lu Chen.
Seeing that Lu Chen was thinking about something, she walked over to him and handed him the water bag.
