I am the rise of an empire of ants

Chapter 19 Why Are You Punishing Me?

When the leader of Tongtong ran to the commander of Quanquan to report what happened just now, the queen ant and the leader of Zizi happened to be there at that time.

Queen Ant and Commander Zizi, Commander Quan Quan were there to discuss the issue of food reserves.Ants don't work in winter. When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, they will stay in the ant nest and not go anywhere, so it is necessary to store food for the whole winter in advance.There are many kinds of food in summer, and the quantity is relatively abundant. It is the best season to store food, but so far, the warehouses are all empty, and there is not much food stored.

This situation has a lot to do with the current geographical location of the ant nest.The location where the ant nest is located is the bus platform in front, and the store in the back. It is surrounded by concrete floors, and there is no grass around it. All the food sources come from the food discarded by passengers waiting on the platform.On the right side of the bus stop, there is a trash can, which is a treasure of geomantic omen, where most of the food is discarded by passers-by. Unfortunately, it is the territory of the black ant tribe. It is impossible for the brown ants to go there matter.

There are four ant races in the entire bus platform, which are black ants, red ants, brown ants (that is, themselves), and yellow ants.The black ants are next to the trash can, so they have abundant food sources. They are the most powerful among the four groups of ants. Because they are close to the trash can, the red ants will occasionally go to the trash can to steal some food, so their strength is second.The rest are the brown ants and the yellow ants. These two ants have no fixed source of food and have to rely on the sky for food. Among the four groups of ants, their strength is the weakest.Among them, the brown ants are more pitiful, sandwiched between the red ant tribe and the yellow ant tribe, and they have to fight against the infestation of the two ant tribes from time to time.

This time, Commander Zizi came to Commander Quanquan to report on the grain reserves in the grain depot. Half of the summer has passed, and there is only a thin layer of grain in the grain depot. If this trend develops Go on, this winter will starve to death a large number of ants like the year before.

In the winter of the previous year, due to insufficient food, more than half of the ants in the nest were starved to death, and the rest of the ants that were not starved to death were also dying, and they had no energy to walk.Fortunately, the red ant tribe and the yellow ant tribe in the neighboring territory were also facing the same problem, so they didn't take advantage of the opportunity.If they had attacked then, their brown ant family would have been wiped out.

When Commander Zizi came in, the Queen Ant happened to be there too. She was discussing with Commander Quanquan how to prevent floods and waterlogging in the ant nest. Hearing Commander Zizi's report, several of them felt worried. This was related to the future survival of the tribe The problem, for them, is really a difficult problem to solve.

At this moment, Tong Tong led the way in.

The queen ant and the Quanquan Commander were all shocked when they heard what the Tongtong Commander reported.It is definitely a big thing that this kind of thing can still happen in the ant nest.

The social structure of ants has always been based on public ownership with equal distribution as the dominant principle. If private ownership and the gap between rich and poor appear, the entire social system will be subverted, so as soon as this kind of thing has signs, it must be pinched immediately. Otherwise, it will cause unimaginable consequences.

The queen ant asked the leader Zizi viciously: "Who started this matter, the leading ant must be dealt with seriously, and if it can't be 'banished', it must not endanger the entire ant nest just because of this black sheep. peace of mind!"

"Exile" is the heaviest punishment in an ant nest, that is, an ant that has made a mistake is sent to the territory of another tribe, and it is not allowed to return to its own territory.If it can come back after three days, it will be acquitted.

This is actually to give one's own people to the other party and let the other party go to execute.Ants are very aggressive towards alien species. If an ant of alien species enters its territory, the whole nest of ants will attack it in groups until it is eliminated.In other words, to do so is to allow the ant to die an honorable death, sacrificing its own life in a fight with the other.

After the queen ant finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had just heard the commander Tongtong say that she had just done it, and she couldn't help feeling a little hesitant in her heart. Just now, she was a famous warrior in the original tribe and had always been loyal to the tribe.Three years ago, during a sneak attack against an army of yellow ants, she stood guard at the gate of the ant nest by herself, resisting the attacks of five ants in turn, and won a victory for her guard battalion. precious time.If it weren't for just now, she would have already been decapitated.How could such a warrior of the nest, the hero of the brown ant tribe, do such a thing?The queen ant was puzzled.

Commander Quanquan at the side played with the two dice brought by Commander Tongtong, and asked curiously, "Are these two things just made?"

Commander Tongtong nodded: "Yes, it admitted it, saying that these are all its ideas!"

The queen took a look at the dice in Commander Quanquan's hand. Although the dice were rough, they were obviously a standard square shape, which was rarely encountered in the world of ants.She recalled what she had just seen in her head, and she couldn't think of an ant with a simple mind and relying on physical strength to survive, who could think of this thing.

At this time, her consciousness suddenly flashed, and she remembered the little ant named Huanghuang.The appearance of this little ant is very ordinary, so ordinary that she almost forgot what it looks like, but it has a pair of sly and bright eyes, and it is these eyes that have always fascinated her.

"Huanghuang...was Huanghuang also there at that time?" the queen ant blurted out.

"Yellow?", Commander Tongtong was stunned for a moment. It didn't seem to know the ant in its memory, but the name was so familiar, as if it had been heard somewhere before, and then it remembered the battalion manager who was dismissed by the queen ant yesterday. Come.

It bowed its head and pondered for a long time, and finally replied hesitantly: "...it seems to be there!"

Commander Tongtong really didn't notice whether Huang Huang was there or not. His attention was all on the two ants just now and Yeye Field Worker.

Queen Ant was full of doubts, she turned to Commander Zizi and Commander Quanquan and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look together!"

In order to keep the other ants in the ant nest from knowing about this matter, she hurriedly led Quanquan and led them over without even calling her guards.

In the training ground, Huang Huang has already agreed with all the ants in the training ground what to say.This is everyone's business. No one wants to see Huang Huang or has just been punished, let alone the infamy of "selling friends and begging for glory". Anyway, when the time comes, he will not speak. Just nod.

Commander Tong Tong led the way, and the Queen Ant walked into the hall surrounded by Commander Quanquan and Commander Zizi.As soon as the queen ant entered the door, she saw Huang Huang and just now, yes, the farm worker stayed together.

"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong, he really has a part in this matter!" The Queen Ant sneered inwardly.She didn't continue to look at Huang Huang, but took the two dice in her hand and asked just now: "Just now, did you make these two mud balls?"

Just nodded and replied: "I did it!"

"Then playing this game of betting on food is also your idea?"

He didn't deny it just now, and immediately replied: "Yes, it was my idea."

The queen ant's face changed, and she asked just now with a stern voice: "Do you know that in our ant nest, taking other people's food without permission is a serious crime, plus you make gambling tools and instigate others to gamble, these crimes add up and you will be punished." Exiled!"

"Ah!" It was really surprised just now, it didn't expect that this matter would make such a big fuss, and it would be exiled.

Seeing the tense look just now, the queen ant smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Huang Huang, and saw that he had been bowing his head in silence, with a complicated expression on his face.Then she asked again: "Let me ask you again, did you start this matter?"

Just now I was ruthless, and I gritted my teeth and said: "Yes, I did it, so I will punish you as you want, I admit it!"

The words just now startled the queen ant, how dare she admit it, isn't she afraid of death?Or this matter was really initiated by it, and my original guess was wrong?The queen ant fell into confusion for a while, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, Huang Huangyi standing next to him stood up with his chest out.He said to the queen ant righteously: "You don't want to punish me just now. Well, I admit it, I came up with this thing, and I did it!"

The queen ant felt relieved, she guessed right, it was really this kid who did it.She raised her eyes, stared at Huang Huang's face firmly, and said coldly: "You have to think about it before you talk about it. You will be exiled for this matter!"

Huang Huang answered her with certainty: "One person does things and one person is responsible. I don't need others to take the blame for what I, Huang Huang, did for me. From the beginning to the end of this matter, I planned it all by myself, and now I admit it all!"

The queen ant turned her face, looked at Huang Huang just now, and asked him, "Is what he said true?"

Under the gaze of the queen ant, it just stopped talking and lowered its head.

That's enough, the part of this play that I should act in has already been performed, and how to act next is up to the yellow and yellow!

The Queen Ant turned her head to look at Huang Huang again, and secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart. Well done, she finally saw the right person. No matter what mistakes Huang Huang made, she still has a good character. Already confirmed.The previous time he put the credit on others because of Tangtang, but this time he knew he was going to die, but he dared to stand up and take responsibility. Judging from these two things, he should be someone who can be sent to the big Useful people.

She looked at Huang Huang with a smile and asked, "Do you have any opinion on my punishment?"

When the queen ant said that, she was obviously giving Huang Huang a step down.She hoped that Huang Huang could cry bitterly in front of her, then deeply reflect on herself, and ask for her forgiveness.This stinky boy, you have to make him suffer more, and let him think about the consequences before doing things, lest he go down the wrong path all day long.

"If you have an opinion, why do you want to punish me?" Huang Huang replied loudly.His answer surprised the queen ant and surprised her and the leaders around her.
