There is a high ground on one side of the hill, and on the high ground there is an entrance to a cave.
At this time, Miles Ma was following the footsteps of the previous ant in a daze and crawling out of the cave.
He was originally a scout of the Leo Luxing Federation Army stationed near District 11.
Recently, due to the frequent unusual movements in District 11, their superiors sent their reconnaissance company into the area and deployed surveillance equipment.
However, during the launch, they were attacked by mutant beasts.
Miles Ma was killed in the first wave of attacks.
When he woke up, he found that he was not dead, but had become an ant!
He observed other ants of the same species as him in the same hole, and concluded that he was now a mutated black fire ant.
The normal body length of this mutated black fire ant is about 2.5~4.0mm, the head is oval and slightly heart-shaped, and the color is generally composed of black, dark brown and yellowish brown. The degree of mutation is not high, but it is widely distributed, and it has evolved a mild toxin during the mutation process. Once bitten, the bitten area will become red and swollen and difficult to heal.
In fact, insect pests such as ants and mosquitoes have always been a headache, both before and after the disaster.
Therefore, preventing and controlling mosquitoes and ants is a compulsory course for these soldiers who serve on the edge of District 11 all year round.
But Miles Ma never thought that one day he would become the object of "prevention and treatment".
"I just don't know what happened to my brothers later, and whether they passed the information back..." Miles Ma sighed in his heart.
But he soon realized that now was not the time to worry about this.
"Why are they moving higher and higher? Also, those flying in front, could they be princess ants?" Miles Ma shook his antennae, his mind slightly changing.
Thanks to his past studies, he also understands the habits of ants.
And from all the current signs, he had a vague guess.
"Damn it, are they planning to get married?!!"
The nuptial flight is a "coming of age ceremony" for ants. Male ants and princess ants will find their mates in the air, mate, and then land.
After mating, the princess ant will shed its wings, find a cave to lay eggs, and wait for the worker ants and soldier ants to hatch.
As for the male ants, their lives are even more miserable. After mating during their nuptial flight, they die within a short time.
Then all the ants will die.
But he doesn't want to die!
The only hope may be this panel that appeared after his rebirth:
Name: Miles Ma
Race: Mutated black fire ant-male ant
Body length:
Evolution Points:
Evolution Required: 0.01 (Evolvable)
Talent: ① Trace toxins (Black fire ants have a toxic gland at the end of their tails, and can use their stingers to inject toxins into their prey.)
② Gluttony (can quickly digest food and convert it into evolution points, remaining time: 30 days.)
A simple, strange yet incredible thing, at this moment, became Miles Ma's life-saving straw.
As for the 0.01 evolution point, he obtained it after he crossed over by using the limited-time talent of gluttony.
He ate a whole caterpillar for this!
This behavior even caused dissatisfaction among other male ants in the same cave.
But he couldn't care less at that time.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried. Although I don’t know what these evolution points can be used for, it will definitely be a good idea to save some first.
In fact, if the other male ants were not dissatisfied, he would have wanted to eat a few more bites of other things.
At that time, he was still wondering why the food reserves in this ant nest were so rich.
Now that I think about it, that was probably the last meal before execution. As for eating insects or something, it doesn’t really matter.
As a scout, what have you not eaten when surviving in the wild?
In order to avoid becoming an alien, he did not use the evolution points in that cave.
But now it seems that this is a life-threatening moment and he can't care so much.
When passing by a huge rock, he quietly moved to the side and crawled to the side.
The male ant behind him was trying to follow him foolishly with its antennae pressing against his B*tt, so Miles Ma slapped him in the face and then considerately placed his antennae on the B*tt of the male ant that was in front of him.
And just like that, he left the ant colony quietly.
Hiding behind a huge rock, Miles Ma opened the simple panel and clicked the [Evolve] button.
A prompt popped up:
【Please choose the direction of strengthening: ①Physique, ②Talent.】
"Talent? Even if [Gluttony] is strengthened once more, it will not be able to overcome the current difficulties, not to mention that [Gluttony] is only time-limited. It is more likely to strengthen [Trace Toxins]!" Miles Ma quickly rejected the second option.
As pheromones filled the air, his ant body was following the biological instincts emitted by his DNA, wanting to find a high place, flap its wings and fly up to mate with the princess ant and fulfill his mission as a male ant.
Although Miles Ma temporarily suppressed this instinctive physical desire, as this desire intensified, he knew that he would soon be unable to suppress it!
"I choose [Physique]!"
Click---
The dark brown shell on Miles Ma's body made a slight sound, broke open, and fell to the ground.
His body swelled up as if it had been inflated.
Name: Miles Ma
Race: Mutated black fire ant-male ant
Body length: 1. Evolution point:
Required for evolution:
Talent: ① Trace toxins (Black fire ants have a toxic gland at the end of their tails, and can use their stingers to inject toxins into their prey.)
② Gluttony (can quickly digest food and convert it into evolution points, remaining time: 30 days.)
The race has not changed. It seems that just one evolution cannot cause a qualitative change.
The size jumped from 7.8mm to 1.1cm.
A Miles Ma of this size is no less powerful than the weak male ants, even the soldier ants who are the main fighting force of the colony.
After the evolution was completed, Miles Ma could no longer suppress the biological instinct in his body. He flapped his wings behind him and flew up on the spot.
Good job.
Other male ants have to go to high places to take advantage of the momentum to glide, but these strengthened ones are different.
Miles Ma had a bitter face like an ant and flew higher and higher.
During the time when Miles Ma sneaked away, many male ants and princess ants had gathered in the sky.
After pairs of male ants and princess ants finish mating, they leave here and fly in a certain direction.
Some are still choosing on the spot.
Don't think that ants are casual. Strong male ants mean excellent genes, and excellent genes mean excellent offspring.
This is also a biological instinct engraved in our DNA.
Moreover, compared to animals with complex thoughts, ants, which have a simple structure, are actually purer.
This also put Miles Ma in a difficult situation for a time.
When this "huge" male ant appeared in the sky, all other male ants were eclipsed.
The princesses all swung their tentacles in his direction and pounced on him without hesitation.
In just a blink of an eye, dozens of princess ants surrounded Miles Ma!
