Traveler Ant World

Chapter 370 Dream City 3

Standing high atop his nest, the Red Ant King, Zhang Ying, surveyed the bustling ant colonies within his territory. Sunlight shone on his crimson shell, creating a metallic sheen. His antennae trembled softly, and a grand plan emerged in his mind: to build a dream city.

"Black Ant King Wang Jun, White Termite King Li Ming, Yellow Ant King Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai, Blue Ant King Lin Fei, Green Ant King Wang Zhao, what would it be like if we could unite and build a city beyond imagination?" Zhang Ying muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He immediately summoned the leaders of the various ant tribes. Soon, all the ant kings gathered together.

Zhang Ying spoke first: "My fellow ant kings, I have a bold idea. Can we work together to build a dream city? This city will fuse the wisdom and strength of our various ant tribes and become a legend in the ant world."

Black Ant King Wang Jun frowned and said, "Joint construction? That's easier said than done. We all have our own territories and habits, how can we work together?"

Termite King Li Ming flapped his wings and said slowly, "This is an interesting idea, but how do we actually implement it?"

Yellow Ant King Li Hua interjected, "Why not listen to the Red Ant King's detailed plan first before making a decision?"

Zhang Ying cleared his throat and began to describe his idea: "We can expand outward from this vast land, using the center as a hub. Each ant tribe will be responsible for the construction of a certain area. For example, red ants are good at digging, so they will be responsible for building underground tunnels; black ants are strong and will be responsible for carrying heavy objects; and white termites are good at building houses, so they will be responsible for constructing above-ground structures... With such a clear division of labor, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Brown Ant King Wang Kai nodded and said, "That sounds reasonable, but how are resources distributed? How can we balance the benefits?"

Blue Ant King Lin Fei also added: "Also, how can we ensure that there are no conflicts during the construction process?"

Green Ant King Wang Zhao looked at Zhang Ying with a firm gaze. "Since the Red Ant King has proposed this plan, he must have a countermeasure. Why not share it with us?"

Zhang Ying smiled slightly and said, "As for resource allocation, we'll divide it based on the labor and contributions of each individual. As for balancing benefits, after the city is built, we'll all share it, distributing various resources proportionally. To avoid conflict, we'll establish a joint management committee composed of representatives from each ant tribe, responsible for coordinating affairs among all parties and adjudicating disputes."

Black Ant King Wang Jun snorted, "It's easier said than done. Who can guarantee that everyone will abide by the agreement?"

Zhang Ying was well prepared. He pulled out a contract and said, "This is the joint construction contract I drafted. Please take a look. If you have any objections, you can propose amendments. Once signed, you must strictly abide by it."

The ant kings passed the contract around, carefully considering it. Termite King Li Ming was the first to speak, "I think it's feasible. As long as everyone is sincere, this dream city will definitely be built."

Yellow Ant King Li Hua also nodded: "I agree, the Red Ant King's plan is more thoughtful."

After pondering for a moment, Wang Kai, the Brown Ant King, said, "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try, but I hope everyone can keep their promises."

Blue Ant King Lin Fei and Green Ant King Wang Zhao looked at each other and said at the same time: "We have no problem either."

So, the ant kings signed their names on the contract one by one, and an unprecedented cooperation began.

The next day, the various ant tribes began their intense construction work. Red ants moved underground, digging intricate tunnels. Black ants formed long lines, carrying huge stones and wood. White termites busily constructed the framework of the house, their white mucus firmly holding the materials together.

Yellow ants use their keen sense of smell to locate resources suitable for city construction and promptly relay this information to other ants. Brown ants, with their robust bodies, are responsible for tamping the ground, ensuring the city's foundation is strong. Blue ants hover in the air, performing reconnaissance and surveillance tasks to prevent intrusion. Green ants meticulously care for the vegetation surrounding the city, adding a touch of vitality to the city.

The prime ministers were also busy. Red Ant Li? kept a constant eye on the progress of the underground project, adjusting the digging direction promptly. Black Ant Zhang Yuan coordinated the black ants' transportation work, ensuring a smooth supply of materials. White Termite Junwei guided the termites' construction techniques, striving to ensure the houses were sturdy and beautiful. Yellow Ant Li Hua used his wisdom to provide reasonable suggestions for resource allocation. Brown Ant Chen Dan supervised the brown ants' ground compaction work, ensuring quality. Blue Ant Huijie transmitted various information through the air, allowing the Joint Management Committee to keep abreast of the situation. Green Ant Lin Qiong carefully cared for the city's ecological environment, planting flowers, plants, and trees.

The queens are also busy in their respective nests, directing their workers to produce more labor and provide continuous support for urban construction. Red Ant Li Li encourages her workers to dig harder; Black Ant Ya Shi urges her workers to move more quickly; White Termite Lauder guides her workers to improve their construction skills; Yellow Ant Ya An directs her workers to efficiently gather resources; Brown Ant Ya Si inspires her workers to consolidate every inch of land; Blue Ant Cheng Xiao organizes her workers to strengthen aerial surveillance; Green Ant Lin Cun leads her workers in meticulously caring for the city's greenery.

The generals led by example. Red Ants Ji La and Ji Kai navigated the underground tunnels, inspecting excavation progress and ensuring safety. Black Ants Zhang Guang and An Yuan led the Black Ant warriors in carrying heavy objects while guarding against potential dangers. White Termites Zhengchu and Tuhao commanded the termite construction army to expedite house construction. Yellow Ant King, Li Danni, and Milo led the Yellow Ant foraging team to search for more high-quality resources. Brown Ants Wang Tong and Christmas organized the Brown Ants to reinforce the ground to ensure the stability of the city. Blue Ants Arrangement and Anhui patrolled the air, keeping alert to surrounding activities. Green Ants Xinzhe and Wangjiu led the Green Ants to meticulously maintain the city's greenery, bringing it to life.

With everyone's joint efforts, the city's outline gradually emerged. Underground passages crisscrossed, and above-ground buildings were arranged in an orderly manner. The city's outline became increasingly clear.

IV. Conflict and Resolution

However, minor frictions did arise during the construction process. Once, while transporting a large stone, black ants and brown ants argued over the correct route. The black ants believed a straight line would be fastest, while the brown ants thought a detour around a small slope would save effort. Neither side gave in, and the atmosphere became tense.

Upon learning of this, the Black Ant King, Wang Jun, rushed to the scene. Observing the tense situation between the two sides, he said sternly, "Stop arguing! We're building a city together. Is this a small matter worth it? The Joint Management Committee is no pushover. If there's any problem, ask them to resolve it!"

Wang Kai, the Brown Ant King, also rushed over. He patted the Brown Ant warriors on the shoulders and said, "Everyone, calm down. This is all for the good of the city. We will follow the decision of the Joint Management Committee and avoid damaging the relationship."

Both sides reported the matter to the Joint Management Committee. After deliberation, the committee decided to allow the brown ants' plan to proceed first, while also creating a backup passage nearby as a precautionary measure. This decision convinced both sides, and the conflict was resolved.

As time went by, the Dream City finally took shape. A magnificent city stood in the center of the Ant World, with solid walls, well-arranged houses, a network of underground passages, and beautiful gardens and squares.

Residents of various ant tribes have moved into this brand new city. Red ants busily shuttle through the underground tunnels, black ants carry various supplies on the streets, white termites meticulously maintain their nests in the houses, yellow ants collect nectar in the gardens, brown ants maintain order in the squares, blue ants patrol the air and protect, and green ants plant flowers and plants in every corner of the city, making the city full of vitality.

The Joint Management Committee officially began operations and formulated a series of city rules to ensure the normal operation of the city. All ant tribes lived in harmony here, enjoying the convenience and prosperity brought by the city.

Standing at the highest point of the city, Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, gazed upon this dream city, the product of everyone's hard work, with a surge of emotion. He knew this was just the beginning, and that more challenges and opportunities awaited them. But he firmly believed that as long as the ants united as one, nothing could stop their progress.

In this dream city, the story of the ants continues...

Over time, the Dream City grew and prospered. Ant tribes reproduced here, passing on their respective cultures and skills. Interactions between the various ant tribes became increasingly frequent, and their diverse lifestyles merged to form a unique ant civilization.

Zhang Ying, the Red Ant King, often convened meetings with the leaders of the various ant tribes to discuss the city's further development. They discussed how to expand the city's boundaries, develop trade, and improve the ant tribe's technological level.

At a meeting, Termite King Li Ming proposed: "We can take advantage of termites' ability to build and develop more advanced construction technologies to make cities more durable and beautiful."

Blue Ant King Lin Fei continued, "I think we can also strengthen our air power and build a powerful air patrol team to better protect the city."

The ant kings expressed their opinions one after another, and a heated discussion about the future development of the city began.

Red Ant King Zhang Ying stood atop his magnificent ant nest, gazing at the busy ant colony below, his heart filled with pride. Today marked the day Dream City was undergoing an upgrade.

Black Ant King Wang Jun, White Ant King Li Ming, Yellow Ant King Li Hua, Brown Ant King Wang Kai, Blue Ant King Lin Fei, and Green Ant King Wang Zhao all arrived with their respective core members. The queens also attended in their finest attire: Red Ant Li Li, Black Ant Ya Shi, White Ant Lan Dai, Yellow Ant Ya An, Brown Ant Ya Si, Blue Ant Cheng Xiao, and Green Ant Lin Cun. Their beauty and grace added a unique brilliance to the grand ceremony.

"Zhang Ying, today's upgrade of the Dream City will surely bring about great achievements." Wang Jun spoke first.

Zhang Ying smiled and nodded, "Yes, with this upgrade, we will surely make our territory even more prosperous."

The prime ministers also gathered together, including the red ant Li?, the black ant Zhang Yuan, the white termite Jun Wei, the yellow ant Li Hua (who has the same name as the yellow ant king, but can be set to have a different identity relationship), the brown ant Chen Dan, the blue ant Hui Jie, and the green ant Lin Qiong. They each discussed the plans for the upgrade.

"The Red Ant Territory is rich in resources, but its defense can be strengthened," said Li.

Zhang Yuan continued, "The Black Ant Territory is adept at digging tunnels. This time, we can further expand the underground tunnel network to better respond to emergencies."

Regal was not to be outdone. "The termite territory has always been known for its exquisite architecture. After this upgrade, we want to create a more solid and beautiful ant nest building."

The ceremony officially began, and the ants worked together to carry various materials and began to upgrade and renovate the Dream City.

The generals also performed their duties. Red ants Ji La and Ji Kai led the red ant warriors to be responsible for the transportation of materials and the reinforcement of fortifications; black ants Zhang Guang and An Yuan organized the black ant workers to dig new tunnels. They waved their powerful jaws and the soil fell down; white termites fought for holes and local tyrants commanded the termites to optimize and expand the building structure. The termites mixed the soil with saliva to build a solid frame; yellow ant king and Li Danni Milo led the yellow ants to collect various plant fibers for decoration and improvement of internal facilities; brown ants Wang Tong and Christmas commanded the brown ants to carry stones to increase the thickness of the city wall; blue ants Arrangement and Anhui were responsible for injecting magical energy into the new space, making the entire ant nest full of mysterious power; green ants Xinzang and Wangjiu led the green ants to carefully care for the flowers and plants around the ant nest, adding vitality to the city.

In the busy process, there are also some small episodes.

"Hey, you're moving too slowly!" one red ant complained to another red ant.

"I've tried my best. If you have the ability, come and try it!" The red ant who was being complained about was not willing to give in.

At this time, Ji La came over and said, "Stop arguing. We are a team. We must work together to successfully upgrade Dream City."

After several days of hard work, the Dream City was finally upgraded. A more magnificent ant nest appeared before their eyes, its walls stronger, its tunnels more intricate, its interior fully equipped with all necessary facilities, lush flowers and plants, and shimmering magical lights.

"Wow, this is simply spectacular!" exclaimed Esther.

"Yeah, this upgrade is really great." Ya'an also agreed.

The ant kings, queens, prime ministers and generals all gathered in the central square of the new dream city.

"Now that Dream City has been successfully upgraded, our strength will surely be further enhanced," said Zhang Ying.

"That's right. Next we have to consider how to expand our territory and establish better relationships with other ant colonies," said Wang Jun.

"I think we can first send envoys to communicate with the surrounding ant colonies, share our development achievements, and seek cooperation opportunities." Li Ming suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a scout ant rushed over and said, "Report to the king, we have discovered a strange ant colony approaching our territory!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the ant kings immediately entered a state of preparation for battle.

"Don't panic, let's first find out what the other party is here for." Zhang Ying said calmly.

The ant colonies acted quickly, strengthening their defenses and preparing to meet unknown challenges.

As the strange ant colony gradually approached, its appearance became clear. It was a group of ants wearing silver armor, looking very majestic.

"What kind of ant colony are you? Why did you break into our territory?" Zhang Ying asked loudly.

The leader of the Silver Armored Ants stepped forward and said, "We are the Silver Ants. We heard there's an upgraded Dream City here, so we came here to see it."

"Experience? I'm afraid it's not that simple." Wang Jun said vigilantly.

The Silver Ant leader smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand us. We mean no harm. We came here hoping to discuss development with you and jointly promote the prosperity of the ant world."

Zhang Ying and others looked at each other, feeling a little confused.

"What do you think?" Zhang Ying asked.

"We, the Silver Ants, are good at metal processing and combat skills. If we can cooperate with you, I believe we can create a more powerful force." said the Silver Ant leader.

After some discussion, the ant kings decided to make initial contact and communication with the silver ant colony first.

"Okay, then we can get to know each other first." Zhang Ying said.

After entering the Dream City, the silver ants were curious about everything here.

"The buildings here are so exquisite." The Silver Ant leader exclaimed.

"Thank you. This is the result of our joint efforts." Li Hua said with a smile.

During the communication process, both sides gradually discovered each other's advantages and complementary aspects.

"Maybe we can really cooperate." Li Ming said.

“Yes, metalworking can make our weapons and tools more sophisticated, and our fighting skills can also
