Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 64 64. Crazy Invasive Species (7)

"Next, everyone must keep their eyes open to recognize it clearly, and be careful not to be bitten by it," Tang Qinqin repeatedly warned: "We all wear long trousers, tie up our trouser legs, and try to make our shoes as thick as possible."

"Qinqin, don't worry. You've already said this. If anyone disobeys and suffers a loss, he can only blame himself." Yang Qing said with a smile, "Although the target we have to face this time does not look good, It’s eye-catching, but it’s a fighting ant among ants, and its bite can be very painful. If anyone wants to give it a try, we won’t stop you.”

The target of this game mission is the notorious red fire ant.Don't underestimate it, its foreign name means "invincible" ant, so named because it is difficult to control.

It has a wide distribution range and is one of the most destructive invasive species.

Red imported fire ants feed on roots, seeds, fruits, etc. of a variety of crops, causing yield reduction; damaging irrigation, electricity, communication and other systems; harassing livestock, causing serious damage to agriculture, public facilities and ecological balance.It also seriously threatens the reproduction and survival of wild animals and plants, attacks the eggs of sea turtles, birds, etc., and destroys biological diversity.

As for the anaphylactic shock caused by its bites in humans, there are countless cases of serious loss of life.

At present, the methods to control fire ants are generally biological nemesis control, technical control and chemical control.

However, many people easily confuse fire ants with red ants.When some people see red ants, they think they are fire ants, causing unnecessary panic.

Individual ants are small and difficult to identify, especially for non-professionals like them.

It is said on the Internet that the easiest way to identify them is to see the nests of fire ants.

Most of the ants we usually see are low-key ants. They do not pile the soil they take out when digging their nests at their doorstep, but send it far away.But fire ants are so arrogant that they pile the excavated soil at the door to form a tall mound.

Mature fire ant nests have a mound-like appearance and a honeycomb-like interior.Observe the ants near it. Fire ants are very aggressive and will quickly leave the nest to attack intruders when disturbed.Then by observing the color, the ants that look bright brown-red under the sunlight are most likely red fire ants.

You can also judge by observing the abdominal stalk knot and whether there are pincers on the tail.

The stingers are the most dangerous part of fire ants, where their venom is hidden.

"When we capture the thief, we capture the king first, and wipe out its lair first. The rest won't be of much use," Laojiu tightened his trousers and was eager to try.

"Old Tie, are you going to hit the door with your bare hands?" Lao Tian joked on the side: "Have you never heard of ants killing an elephant? No matter how big your fists are, they can't stop them in large numbers, not to mention they have poisonous stings. Go on!"

Lao Jiu took the tool thrown by Lao Tian, ​​a plastic bucket.

"Old Jiu, come here, let's cooperate." Tian Yuanzhi picked up a shovel and walked to the grass next to him.

Good guy, before I even got there, I saw several tall lumps of earth in the grass from a distance. I could see that this place is a big family of fire ants.

The two chose a nest far away from other ant nests to start. It is said that some warriors had tried to destroy the nest of red fire ants before, but unfortunately they were attacked by a group of them.

The two people who didn't want to try the sting care carefully avoided the busy ants on the ground while looking for the most suitable place to start.

"The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is fast, hey!" Lao Tian gestured for a while, then suddenly hit the root of the ant nest with a shovel.

Laojiu on the side had a twitching expression, but he quickly handed over the plastic bucket to complete the "handover" work.

A huge swarm of ants quickly poured out from the crack of the ant nest like a tide, trying to fight the "invaders", which made all the players feel numb.

Lao Tian and Lao Jiu quickly retreated to a safe place. Song Yuanze took the plastic bucket and immediately poured it into the factory equipment warehouse that Tang Qinqin had placed.

"What should we do with these?" Tang Qinqin pointed at the army of fire ants spreading on the ground, which was so dense that it was scary.

Allowing them to run around will not only pose a threat to their safety, affect the progress of the next mission, but also cause unpredictable damage to more places.

Suddenly feeling itchy in the palm of his right hand, Tang Qinqin lowered his head and pulled out the obsidian from the accompanying space.

The black, round, egg-sized spider hung upside down by the spider silk was flicking its slender legs boredly.

Without looking carefully, I thought it was a black crab.

"Why, do you want to try it?" Tang Qinqin lightly poked Obsidian's belly covered with fine and fuzzy hair.

Eight Legs strongly protested.

Tang Qinqin walked to a place where fire ants were rare and put down the obsidian.

"Go ahead and try it, but be careful, it has a poisonous sting and is good at group combat."

As soon as the black spider landed on the ground, it quickly crawled towards the lone red fire ants beside it and eliminated them very quickly. Then it took a long step and approached the dense ant colony, and kept pushing their defense line back again and again.

Absolute strength crushing, dimensionality reduction attack.

"Hey, it's okay, girl! Well done!" Lao Tian and the others stared at Obsidian with gusto.

"I'll give it a try too." A Fei said, and a palm-sized black ant appeared in the palm of his hand. A pair of transparent wings as thin as cicada's wings were trembling gently on the ant's back.

"Hey, are you trying to kill relatives out of justice? I think it's okay, come on, let's see what it's capable of." Lao Tian's eyes lit up when he saw the majestic and handsome black ant, and he hurriedly came over.

"I'm coming too." Changfeng walked forward with his companion pet. A beautiful leopard gecko as long as an arm was lying quietly on his shoulder.

"After it evolves, the food it can eat in its diet has increased, including almost all ants and insects." He explained when he saw some players showing doubts in their eyes.

"incredible!"

For a time, the dense fire ant colonies covering the ground were forced to disperse. Seeing that the situation was not going well, each dispersed ant colony automatically gathered into an ant ball to fight against the "opponent" they had never seen before - human beings. Ants as big as a palm, spiders as big as eggs, lizards as long as forearms, roosters as big as roosters...

"Haha, so happy." The players breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that the ant colony that was just like a tide became increasingly sparse and defeated.

"Then everyone works in groups. There is no limit to the number of people, but you must pay attention to safety, cooperate well with each other, and inform each other of any situation."

Song Yuanze, Dong Mingzhe, Peng Lei and others made the decision after discussion.

The players spread out and looked for their own partners.

"Qinqin, let's go." Lan Lan urged without any fear.

"Okay, Mengru and I will cooperate later, okay?"

"Let me do it. Mengru and I will cooperate, and you will be responsible for controlling the scattered ant colonies when the time comes," Lan Lan said.She had just seen Obsidian's bravery and felt that this arrangement was the best.

"Well, Lan Lan and I will cooperate. Qin Qin, I'll leave the rest to you." Mengru had no objection to this arrangement.

The three of them have been best friends for many years. Their tacit understanding is very mature and they work together smoothly.

Obsidian was probably full, so he changed his strategy and circled the ant nest easily with the spider silk he spat out. After Mengru flattened the protruding earth bag, he quickly pulled up the net and surrounded the broken part of the ant nest. It was tight and solid, like an inverted semi-circular cocoon, but not a single fire ant escaped.

The red fire ant workers who felt threatened came out in large numbers. After touching the spider web, they were tightly adhered to it and could not struggle. The originally loose spider web was continuously filled, squeezed, and expanded, like blowing up a balloon. Form into a puffy ball.

"Yeah!" Lan Lan was startled and hid behind Meng Ru. She never liked the sound of popping sounds, especially the sound of popping balloons.

Don't ask, it's scary to ask.

Tang Qinqin was also a little nervous. Although he knew that the spider silk from his own small stone was unusual and had a very hard and flexible texture, he was not sure about the scene in front of him and quickly told Lan Lan and Mengru to stay away.

　I love my country.

　　May the country be prosperous and the people strong, the mountains and rivers be safe, and the great dream come true as soon as possible!
　　I wish all my compatriots peace and success~

　　The last little wish is that I can tell this story well and more people will like it. Together with Tang Qinqin and her friends, we will continue to learn and grow (*︶*)..:*
