Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

Well-prepared players stay hidden in their homes.

Some NPCs were fleeing for their lives on the road, while others were bold enough to record videos for everyone as they ran.

Even though the authorities are restricting the dissemination of information about ants.

It can't be hidden anymore.

The ant infestation has completely broken out in Anqing City.

No pedestrian on the road escaped unscathed.

The people hiding in the car immediately rolled up the windows, thinking they could escape unscathed.

However, the ants still managed to crawl into the hood of the car and enter the vehicle through the air conditioning's external air circulation vent.

It exposes those hiding inside.

No one knows how many offspring the queen ant reproduced during the time she escaped.

What is the life cycle of the evolved red ant?

Someone launched their drone and started a live stream online.

The images transmitted from high altitudes are even more shocking.

Even more unexpectedly, someone started a fire.

They wanted to use fire to drive away the red ants.

As it turned out, these ants were not afraid of the flame at all.

Instead of retreating, the flames seemed to fuel their ferocity.

He charged straight into the fire, passed through the flames, and devoured the man as if he were food.

Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver.

A sales clerk shared his experience online after he was found safe.

As the ant swarm arrived, he was placing insecticides on the shelves.

Upon seeing swarms of ants crawling in from the ground, I grabbed an insecticide and sprayed it vigorously at the ant colony.

This did have some effect.

The red ants at the front were killed by pesticides, and the ants behind them began to retreat.

The man finally survived the ant colony and hid in the warehouse.

Seeing this, the others also grabbed insecticides and hid with the salesperson.

They became one of the few survivors in the supermarket.

By nightfall, almost the entire city's streets had fallen.

All the survivors are hiding in confined spaces, barely clinging to life.

The surviving players reported their safety in the group chat and shared their dodging tips.

But more importantly, they needed to know where the queen ant was hiding.

Only by killing it can you obtain additional rewards.

All the players racked their brains to think.

Seeing that the group chat had quieted down, Shi Jinwei still couldn't sleep, so she continued to check the messages online.

Because the ant infestation broke out suddenly, the authorities did not have time to suppress the news.

Therefore, the whole country knew about the situation in Anqing City.

However, these ants were too dangerous, so the government immediately dispatched troops to seal off the city, prohibiting entry and exit.

On the outskirts of the city, insect repellent powder and pesticides were sprinkled to establish a defense line.

To prevent ants from entering other cities and causing more trouble.

And because the ants were so skilled at digging tunnels, the soldiers dug deep trenches around the perimeter.

The fear is that they might emerge from underground unnoticed.

They told people online not to go out, and that they would send reinforcements to exterminate the ants as soon as possible.

The officials in Anqing City also began small-scale ant extermination operations in accordance with the instructions from above.

However, they do not have specialized production plants for pesticides and insecticides, so their capacity is limited.

Fortunately, on the morning of the second day of the game, several planes appeared in the sky above the city.

They lined up to spray pesticides and insecticides on Anqing City.

After a night of conquering and plundering, they had almost completely covered the entire surface of Anqing City.

Ants are omnivorous insects, and after evolution, they eat almost anything.

Exposed vegetation on the ground has been largely devoured.

Even the tree trunks were not spared.

In many places, fires have broken out because the electrical wires were chewed up by them.

However, given the current situation, no one dares to put out the fire.

In addition, the network started to be intermittent, which was likely due to damage to underground cables and fiber optic cables.

Online, citizens of Anqing lamented their plight, while other cities began donating relief supplies.

Shi Jinwei released the aircraft early in the morning.

The images they see are more intuitive than those seen by others.

In her neighborhood, cars parked on the roadside were almost entirely covered in ants.

Through the car windows, you can still see that some of the cars still contain the deceased's belongings, such as cell phones, keys, and blood-stained clothes.

Many residents on the first floor still had their windows open.

Looking inside, all you could see was a dark red color.

After wreaking havoc on the first floor, they continued their march to higher floors.

The low-rise shops outside the residential area were not spared either.

Some windows were closed, but ants still managed to gnaw on the rubber strips between the window sash and the frame through the gaps.

He crawled inside through the torn sections of the leather straps...

One shocking scene after another was sent back, and Shi Jinwei shared them all in the group.

Outside, as the pesticides were sprayed by the airplane, the red ants began to stir.

They began to retreat as if they sensed some kind of threat.

Some died immediately after being exposed to pesticides.

However, there were too many of them, and even after spraying pesticides for a whole day, only one-fifth of the area was cleared.

But for ordinary people, this is hope.

The official sources didn't hide the news and released it directly.

They also stated that they would continue to increase pesticide spraying efforts to resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

Please stay in a safe place and wait for further instructions.

With a solution to the problem, the NPCs naturally had time to think about other things.

The primary question is where these red ants came from.

Secondly, why did it suddenly erupt, and why are there so many of them?

Finally, there's the suspicion that the authorities might be hiding something they don't know...

Just as Shi Jinwei had guessed, the public's doubts grew louder and louder.

The authorities could no longer hide this news.

The Anqing City Biological Research Center went from being highly praised to being universally condemned.

The information they released was more detailed than what the players investigated:

The story dates back to when a collector donated the armor.

At the time, he not only donated the armor, but also a fossil.

Upon learning of this, the biological research center immediately contacted the museum and the collector.

After discussion, the biological fossils were secretly sent to the research center, and the news was kept secret.

The armor was then made public and displayed to everyone.

Through research and comparison, the research center excitedly discovered that this fossil was a wasp-like creature from the Cretaceous period.

Earlier studies have shown that ants evolved from this type of organism.

Ants are one of the research targets in the research center's genetic studies.

With this well-preserved fossil, they had many ideas.

This includes extracting incomplete DNA from fossils and comparing it with the DNA of modern ants.

Then, it undergoes "anti-ancient" breeding to rewrite its DNA.

Players discovered that the "runaway queen ant" was actually an "anti-ancient ant" whose DNA had been rewritten.

Before it escaped, the researchers concluded from their observations that:

This ancient species has an extremely strong ability to survive and adapt.

It is resistant to both high and low temperatures.

Ants are now rare in cold regions.

However, this environmental problem does not exist for antiarchaic ants.
