Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

It felt great to be stared at by all the ants in amazement, and I was very pleased with everyone's admiration.

"It tastes like watermelon-flavored poop." Just as I was enjoying everyone's admiring gaze, Dafu's voice suddenly came over.

I almost fell to the ground. Can't I just pretend to be cool in a normal way?

But to my surprise, as soon as Da Fu spoke, the ants around him immediately started pointing and saying that it looked just like him.

Have you guys even eaten it or seen it? How can you be so lacking in principle?

My heart is truly set on throwing that great fortune away; how could you be so unromantic?

"Alright, we're getting ready for battle. What are you all doing? This is the crucial moment that will determine our life or death today," I said, pointing to the chewing gum on the ground that looked like red poop.

Holy crap, you know what, it actually does look a bit like it, but that's the key to the battle! I'm going to cry...

Everyone looked at me with confusion when they heard my voice, wondering what I was up to. Why would I suddenly spit out something like poison?

"As you can all see, this isn't actually poison. On the contrary, it's the key to our victory today. Now I'll teach you how to make it," I explained to everyone.

"Are these really not poisonous? Could it be...? Is it okay to eat it now, but will I die later?" Dafu next to me said uncertainly.

Damn it, is this damn Dafu trying to screw me over? Will he die if he doesn't say anything? He's not only not trying to help, he's making things worse.

Following Da Fu's words, everyone took another step back, still afraid of being poisoned to death by the poison.

I glared at the large dumpling with annoyance, then patiently explained, "Don't be afraid, everyone. If it's really poisonous, why would I eat it? Am I not afraid of dying?"

Hearing my words, everyone calmed down. Dafu probably realized he was wrong after I glared at him, so he stopped talking.

"How do I use this?" the soldier asked, puzzled.

“That’s a good question. Now, try stepping on it with your foot,” I said to the soldier.

The soldier actually obeyed and stepped on it with his own foot. After stepping on it, he had a lot of difficulty pulling his foot out. Even so, there was still a small piece of chewing gum stuck to the corner.

"What, what is this? How did it get stuck on my foot?" the soldier exclaimed in a panic, jumping up and down trying to remove the chewing gum from his foot, but the more he tried, the more gum he made it stick everywhere.

"This is our weapon against the enemy. It's only a little bit, yet it has this effect. What if there were many?" I asked the ants below.

The ants below immediately started discussing it:

"My God, what is this? How is it so amazing?"

"The Queen is indeed powerful; she sent such a capable general."

"What is this thing? It's so powerful!"

The room immediately erupted in chaos, which shows how impactful my experiment was.

"Tell us what to do, and we'll do it, as long as we can drive the enemy away."

"That's right, that's right, we'll listen to you."

"Let's get to work quickly, we must ensure that the enemy never returns."

The ants below immediately became anxious. Before, they were afraid of being driven out of their home, but now they were no longer worried about their home, but about how to drive away those red ants.

"Quiet down, everyone! Quiet down! Now I'm going to teach you how to do it!" I shouted loudly to the ants below.

My shouts immediately silenced the crowd below.

"The first step is to get the hamsters to chew on this gum and xylitol like crazy. And when you're moving these things, make sure they get wet first," I said very seriously.

Otherwise, if you just rush in and start carrying things without any real fighting, you'll get stuck with your own people.

At my command, the little hamster began to chew gum and xylitol frantically. I must say, the little hamster's paws and mouth were quite fast at chewing.

Of course, it was cute, but at that moment I didn't have time to think about how cute it was. I just wanted the little hamster to chew more gum as quickly as possible.

"Now you can start moving it. Place this chewing gum in all the places the enemy might pass by. Put as much as possible, especially in the areas the enemy mainly passes through. Don't be stingy, put as much as you can," I instructed my men.

As I finished speaking, the soldier and the ant leader began to direct the remaining ants to start moving. All the ants touched the water on a leaf as if washing their hands, and then began to carry the chewed gum.

They began preparing for battle in a very orderly manner, while the red ants below seemed to have no idea when they would attack or what they were waiting for, as so much time had passed and they showed no sign of attacking.

Just because we're not attacking now doesn't mean we won't attack later. We should focus on building up our defenses first, because we won't have much time to do so later.

Although the red ants have more troops than us, I guarantee that with this, we can easily withstand the enemy's attack.

As I watched the ants busily organizing their defense, I felt incredibly proud; we had successfully defended ourselves this time.

Ants are efficient and quick to get things done, and that little hamster is indeed a mouse that can even break wood with its chop.

The chewing gum and xylitol were almost completely chewed up in no time. And with the ants carrying and directing the process, it was almost finished in just over half an hour.

We're finally all ready. Those red ants are so stupid; if they had attacked earlier, we wouldn't have been able to build such a strong defense.

Now that we've made all the preparations, you're going to leave empty-handed.

I thought to myself with extreme smugness.

Just then, a cry of alarm rang out: "Oh no! Oh no! The red ants have started attacking!"

"Why are you so flustered? All the interception measures have been taken, so why are you panicking?" I said dismissively.

"But..." The messenger ant wanted to say something more, but because it had run off in such a hurry, it was a little incoherent.

"But what? But? It's okay, I've got you covered." I said with an air of arrogance. No wonder so many people like to show off; it turns out showing off is so satisfying.

"But termites are coming with them from below," the ant that brought the news said in a panic.

"What? Termites too?" I was so surprised I almost jumped up.

I was wondering why the red ants hadn't attacked. Turns out they were waiting for reinforcements. I had such a plan all along. I really underestimated those damned red ants.
