Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 582 [Failed World] 5

Seeing the Ant King like this, Feng Lan felt no pity. She only thought of the oil man. She wondered if all beings with strong infectiousness, strong reproductive ability and weak physical body all took the spiritual route.

A bright red line neatly cut through the ant queen's body, splitting her in half. Looking closely, it was a red and white flame that was compressed to the extreme, without the slightest tremor. Feng Lan looked at it and was very satisfied with his progress in controlling fire.

The body of the ant king and the guard ants that surrounded him were cut in half. After the quiet flames touched his body, they burned quickly like those of ordinary termites, leaving only a pile of inorganic matter of varying weights.

Death appears equally at the finish line of every life.

Feng Lan swept away the other termites that had caused chaos near the previous nest. This mountain, like other places, had been hollowed out by termites, leaving only the grayish-white ground full of scars and holes, and the soil layer that had been eaten more than ten meters deep, all of which were used to build the termites' huge underground world. Apart from termites, there was no other life nearby. She measured and found that the termites nearby were stronger than other ordinary termites, so Feng Lan eliminated them all.

Because she remembered that in the termite race, when the king ant grew old or died suddenly, some female ants among the nearby worker ants would transform into the new ant king. After a fierce fight, the new female ant that survived would be the queen.

Feng Lan still did not show up until the ant king, all the guards around him, and the entire termite colony on the mountain were eliminated. She observed for a while and did not see any of the reserve ants become queen ants. She remained vigilant. After all, these ants had mutated after two years of apocalypse and were no longer the same as ordinary ants. Ordinary termites did not eat human flesh and soil. Feng Lan expanded the area and extended her spiritual sense outward by 100 kilometers.

"Wow." She raised her eyebrows and looked towards an underground cave 150 kilometers away, where seven reserve ants were fighting a life-and-death battle.

The body, which was originally only slightly bloated than that of ordinary ants, developed rapidly, and the warm nest below the waist began to expand rapidly. In order to accommodate ovulation and grow a warm nest that is larger and more suitable for laying eggs than other reserve ants, the ovaries, which are only tens of centimeters long, are forced to grow rapidly. The entire lower body is swollen with only a layer of transparent membrane, which seems to be easily broken with a poke.

A layer of pale white shell also floats on the upper body, revealing a newly grown body, compound eyes with weakened vision, mouthparts, and trembling antennae. Obviously, whoever sheds this layer of worker ant skin first and becomes a queen ant can release chemical signals to other soldier ants through their antennae first, killing the remaining competitors and becoming the new termite queen of the termite army.

An ordinary termite can produce thousands to tens of thousands of eggs a day, not to mention these mutated termites. What Shen Ke said about not killing the termite queen, the termites will come back in a few days, is not an exaggeration. A colony of hundreds of thousands of ants will only take a few days for the termite queen.

Feng Lan did not give these reserve ants a chance. She quickly joined in to end this silent competition. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Feng Lan was worried that there were reserve ants hiding in other places. She patrolled the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers and found two more places as expected.

While killing them, Feng Lan did not forget to clean up the termites that were rioting nearby.

Even though these termites have lost their queen, their numbers are still too large. Feng Lan took a rough look and estimated that there are 700 to 800 million of them. If you count the unhatched eggs, the number could be several times higher.

Obviously, the termite queen also knows that the resources of this planet are not enough for the termite army to expand indefinitely.

……

Shen Ke counted silently in his mind and waited for half an hour, watching the dense termites below being burned clean by a clear line of fire. The termites scrambled to move away, but there were always termites caught up by the fire line. At first, the termites would be smart enough to sacrifice some of them and draw a clear isolation zone. After the fire line burned this part of the termites, it did not infect other termites.
