Day by day in the infinite game

"Next, everyone must keep their eyes peeled, 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 doesn't look good.

It’s eye-catching, but it’s a fighting ant among ants, and its bite can be very painful. If you want to try it, 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 it is named because it is difficult to control.

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

Red imported 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 wild animals and plants.

They thrive, attack the eggs of turtles, birds, etc., and destroy 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 red imported fire ants with red fire ants. Some people think that red imported fire ants are red fire ants when they see them, causing unnecessary panic.

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

It is said online that the easiest way to identify them is to look at the nests of fire ants.

Most of the ants we usually see are low-key ants. They do not pile the soil they dig out when they dig their nests at their doorsteps, but send them far away. But red imported fire ants are very arrogant. They pile the soil they dig out in front of their homes.

A tall mound of earth formed at the door.

A mature red imported fire ant nest has a mound-like appearance and a honeycomb-like interior. Observe the ants near it. Red imported fire ants are very aggressive and will quickly leave the nest to attack intruders when disturbed. Then observe the color and see it under sunlight.

Ants that look bright brown and red 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 will not be very useful," Laojiu tightened his trousers and was eager to try.

"Old Tie, are you going to hit the door with your bare hands?" Lao Tian on the side joked: "Have you never heard of ants killing an elephant? No matter how big your fists are, you 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 us two brothers 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 dirt bags in the grass from a distance. I could tell 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 warriors had tried to destroy the nest of red imported fire ants before, but unfortunately they were attacked by a group of them.

The two people who didn't want to try the poisonous 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.

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

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 shiny black, round, egg-sized spider was hanging upside down by its silk threads and was flicking its long legs boredly.

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

"Why, do you want to try it?" Tang Qinqin gently poked Obsidian's belly covered with fine fur.

There was strong protest from Eight Legs.

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 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! You did a great job!" Lao Tian and the others stared at Obsidian with great interest.

"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, and a beautiful leopard-print 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 confront 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 colonies that had just appeared like a tide were becoming 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 and Peng Lei made the decision after discussion.

The players dispersed and each looked for his or her partner.

"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 dispersed 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 imported fire ant workers who felt threatened came out in large numbers. After touching the spider web, they were tightly adhered to it and struggled. The originally loose spider web was constantly filled, squeezed, and expanded, like blowing up a balloon.

Form into a bulging 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, you're afraid 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 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 (*?︶?*).?.:*?
