Chapter 358 Malignant
Hence, it will consciously absorb the genetic genes of stronger organisms, and soon eat this species to extinction, thereby ensuring the long-term survival of its own species.
According to the habits of this creature, the chimera ant queen will continue to migrate according to its needs for shelter.
Once a residence is chosen, the queen will continuously give birth to a large number of soldier ants, as well as construction ants and chore ants used for nest building.
When the queen thinks that the size of the soldier ants is enough to protect her residence, she will concentrate on preparing for the birth of the "king".
During this period, the queen's food intake will increase dramatically, eventually reaching an alarming level.
At first, you may only consume food equivalent to twenty times your own volume, but then your food intake will continue to increase, reaching about three hundred times.
This means that if the queen feeds on humans, she would need to eat three hundred people a day during her peak feeding phase.
The birth cycle of the king is usually two months.
When the king is born, the hierarchical structure of the ant colony will split.
The queen will stay in the nest and continue to eat a lot of food for the birth of the next king.
After birth, the ant king will travel and mate with various creatures to give birth to a new queen.
For a species to ensure its survival, its fecundity is the most fundamental requirement.
Chimera ants are clearly the best among them.
However, in the face of the complete human social system, the reproductive advantages of chimeric ants will expose them for the first time.
Because not to mention the sudden disappearance of a large number of people, even the most basic issues of migration and settlement are difficult to avoid from human attention.
You must know that although humans allow the existence of monsters, they are subject to the highest level of control, including extremely strict regulations such as limiting the area where monsters can move and not harming humans.
The size and intelligence of the Chimera Ant Queen are enough to be recognized as a World of Warcraft level. Coupled with the species habits of the Chimera Ant itself, if humans discover the migration behavior of the Chimera Ant Queen, they will definitely deal with it as soon as possible.
In other words, there are only two possibilities for the giant chimera ant queen to survive the early stages of reproduction safely:
One is to accidentally migrate to a demonic realm that is not controlled by humans without being discovered by humans, and rely on preying on creatures other than humans to reproduce.
Second, it is to find a human society that meets the conditions of non-mechanical civilization, prohibiting the outflow of information, and being indifferent to large-scale population disappearances without being noticed by humans.
It is basically impossible to expect an alien species that knows nothing about humans to do this.
But if there is external intervention, the occurrence of this "coincidence phenomenon" will become very simple.
Since Byande accelerated his plan, Pariston chose a unique stage in the world for the Chimera Ant Queen as quickly as possible.
That is, an autonomous region called NGL located in the Mitne Federation that meets the above-mentioned harsh conditions.
Him After using the convenience of the operating system, a false memory was directly implanted into the head of the chimera ant queen.
Use teleportation telekinesis ability to quietly send the chimera ant queen into the NGL autonomous region.
Hence, the chimera ant queen, who quickly healed herself by eating Melena, began to build a nest directly in the center of the forest near the teleportation point,
and prey on various creatures in the forest.
With no human interference and sufficient food, the chimera ant queen built a large-scale ant nest in the center of the forest in just one week with her amazing reproductive ability.
The order of the entire ant colony has basically taken root.
But it is not enough.
In order to expand the scope of predation, the chimera ant queen will continue to give birth to soldier ants.
The ninth day when the ant nest was built.
Countless construction ants crawl back and forth above the nest, releasing slurry mixed with feces as they crawl, which is used to expand the size of the nest.
At the same time.
The army of soldier ants takes the ant nest as the center point, like a swarm of locusts, heading in all directions.
These teams are mostly composed of lower-level soldiers.
They are the same class as the chore ants and are also the most numerous.
Large-scale predation operations basically rely on their numerical advantage.
But from the perspective of genes and combat strength, lower-level soldiers only retain the genes of various creatures in the forest.
Hence, they have low IQ and do things more based on orders and instinct.
It's just that the size advantage of the chimera ant queen has been extended to them, giving them the size capital to compete head-on with humans.
The superior of the lower-level soldier is the army commander who has inherited human genes and forest biological genes.
Starting from this class, all soldier ants have obvious human characteristics, as well as the most critical humanity and intelligence.
And because of the residue of human memory, they are born with the ability to master human language.
The structure of the chimera ant army is mainly composed of about 50 division leaders.
Each division commander commands 4 to 5 army commanders.
Each army commander has 10 to 15 lower-level soldiers under his demons,
That is to say, the size of a soldier ant team including the division commander is usually around 50 to 70.
The chimera ant queen will expand the army of soldier ants to about 50, and then cultivate direct guards with a higher group level than the division leader.
At that moment, you can focus all your energy on the birth of the king.
Currently, there are only 23 soldier ant teams in the ant nest.
But with the expansion of the soldier ant team’s predatory activities, there are also high-quality prey such as humans.
The chimera ant queen must be able to rapidly expand the number of soldier ants to 50 in an environment with extremely sufficient food and nutrients.
Such a rate of reproduction and development is terrifying.
If the ant colony is allowed to eat up the entire human population in the NGL autonomous region, the consequences will be disastrous.
Biyande, who is leading this plan, is certainly aware of this.
So in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, there must be an external factor to break NGL's rules prohibiting the outflow of information.
This external factor is the biological hunter whose work is conducive to the natural environment.
Three years earlier than Yang De, he had initiated long-term commissions for some amateur and professional biological hunters in the name of biological surveys.
Henceforth, it was natural to follow this entrustment relationship line. At the beginning of the plan, these biological hunters were allowed to enter the NGL autonomous region in the name of work and at the right time.
The task of this group of "chess pieces" is to send the news to NGL in time before the situation gets out of control, so that outside countries can react, and then quickly form a regular crusade team.
In order to complete this step,
Hence, the chess pieces such as the biological hunter cannot be put in too early, but they cannot be put in too late either.
If it’s too early, outside countries will quickly launch actions to deal with this biological disaster, thereby nipping the threat in the bud without any pressure.
If it is too late, once the seriousness of the situation rises to the level that V5 can attach great importance to it, then it will be difficult to interfere with Nitro and reduce his assistance under the premise that Nitro takes the lead in solving the problem.
How to grasp this time point?
It is not difficult for Pariston.
When the chimera ant soldier ant army began to hunt humans in the NGL autonomous region, teams of biological hunters entered the NGL autonomous region one after another.
Since the NGL Autonomous Region abandons mechanical civilization and advertises its respect for nature, it is particularly welcoming to biological hunters.
Even though most of them are unlicensed amateur wildlife hunters, they can easily obtain entry permits.
In just two days, nine teams of biological hunters entered the NGL.
Only three of them are professional hunters, namely Bakuer, Pengsi, and Barbara.
The three of them are licensed hunters in the same class and have similar professions.
· Due to the working characteristics of biological hunters, the three of them formed their own teams.
After all, most professional hunters who are deeply involved in this field require teamwork.
So whether they are amateur biological hunters or professional biological hunters, they will consciously form a team.
This leads to the fact that biological hunters are based on teams.
And each team usually has an acquaintance relationship.
But the teams of Bakuer, Pengsi, and Barbara coincidentally gathered in the NGL Autonomous Region, mostly because of the highly overlapping commission goals.
NGL border.
Barbara led her team here.
"I didn't expect so many colleagues to come to NGL together."
Before entering the country, Barbara already knew that four teams had entered the NGL before her.
Two of these four teams were met by her when Kajin was performing a biological investigation commission, and the other two were Bakuer and Peng Si who participated in the same hunter test as her.
"Haha, there are indeed quite a few."
In the team, a member answered.
Another member added with a smile: "But the content of the commission and the area are different, so there shouldn't be any competition."
"If it really becomes a competitive relationship, there will be no leisure to appreciate nature."
"Hey, we are working, not here to travel!"
"Oh, I just said casually, why are you so serious? You deserve to be in your thirties and still can't find a partner!"
h "That's my active choice to be single, okay?"
"Oh~ Really."
The team members talked to each other and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
This is also the norm for the biological hunter team.
Everyone comes together for the same purpose.
So after working together for a long time, the relationship will naturally become more harmonious and deeper.
· Barbara glanced at her chatting and laughing companions, raised the corners of her mouth, and then handed the immigration information to the border staff.
"Stop chatting, come here quickly."
After handing the information to the border staff, Barbara turned back and called to her companions.
"Come on, come on!"
Companions walked over with smiles on their faces.
They had high expectations for this commission, but they had no idea of the consequences of crossing this border.
A village in NGL.
"Haha, hunting humans is so fun."
A squad of chimera ant soldiers are hunting villagers who are fleeing in panic.
The village is full of dilapidated houses of the elderly and children.
Judging from the degree of damage to the corpses, these soldier ants were not hunting for food at all, but were purely enjoying the pleasure of killing.
"Don't kill them all. If you don't meet the target, you have to go further to catch people."
"Haha, what are you afraid of?"
A chimera ant army captain with long pointed tusks, a mixture of wild boar and human genes, opened his teeth stained with flesh and blood, and laughed: "Infertile creatures like humans, there are as many as you want, you can just make up the number!"
"I think you are too excited, Fergus."
Another chimera ant army leader with pangolin genes obviously pays more attention to hunting indicators, so he is a little disgusted with Fergus's hunting behavior, which is mainly for fun.
Fergus easily pierced a fleeing villager with his sharp fangs. He seemed to sense the dissatisfaction of his companions and shook his head violently.
There was a sound.
The name of the village hanging on the dental treatment was suddenly torn in half.
The sticky entrails clattered to the ground, and warm blood spattered all over Fergus's pig face.
"Isn't it enough to just meet the target?"
He slowly opened his mouth with sharp teeth, and showed a ferocious smile on his face covered with blood, and said: "Besides, Lady Melena has said personally that we can kill humans as much as we want. If you have any objections to this kind of thing, you'd better go to another team as soon as possible. Let’s go.”
…”
The army commander named Casey, who has pangolin genes, immediately suppressed the urge to refute when he heard Fergus mention the name of the division commander.
He could only turn around and slap his thick, scaly tail on the ground like a vent, raising a cloud of dust.
Then he went to command a few subordinate Chimera Ants to capture the fleeing villagers as soon as possible.
In order to ensure the freshness of food, when the soldier ant team is hunting, they usually use neurotoxins to control humans and then bring them back to the ant nest.
When the queen wants to eat, she will be chopped into meatballs.
The act of killing human beings like Fergus is purely to satisfy his own pleasure.
This kind of behavior, which wastes a lot of food nutrients, is normally not possible in a chimera ant colony that has a large demand for food.
However, after chimera ants merge with human genes, they will also inherit the dark side of human nature.
The greater the proportion of human genes in the body, the more obvious these characteristics will appear.
What's more, even memories will be inherited. On the surface, NGL is a non-mechanical civilized autonomous region that advocates nature, but in fact it uses this name to cover up the massive construction of drug factories.
So when the chimera ants expand their prey range, the militants who represent the dark side of NGL will naturally take out guns as soon as possible to fight against this group of terrifying creatures.
But even with the blessing of firearms, it cannot change the fate of becoming food.
Hence, when the ferocious side of this group of humans was inherited with the birth of the soldier ants, it was naturally reflected in their daily behaviors.
Judging from the character traits of Fergus and Cathy, it is very likely that the former inherited the thug gene.
But regardless of whether their character is good or bad, when human genes take over, the command and discipline that an ant should have will gradually be lost under the suppression of human nature.
But for the chimera ant queen, no matter what personality or autonomy the soldier ants have, as long as they can accurately complete the orders given, it is enough.
