Chapter 35: self conscious

　　 Soldier Ant Dasha's spirit seems a little confused. After telling Systrom that he is not a queen, it continues to send a message: "You are, the queen."
　　 "Well, I am."
　　 Sisterm used [Teleportation] to respond to Dasha Soldier Ant. Although he was calm on the surface, his heart was already flustered.
　　 This was the first time Dasha the soldier questioned him, but Systrom knew that this would never be the last.
　　 As the soldier's Dasha's intelligence improves, it will definitely continue to question Systrom.
　　 And the ant eggs and larvae he brainwashed now, won't he question him in the future?
　　 Give up brainwashing these eggs?
　　 Still think of a way to lower the intelligence of these eggs?
　　 Systrom's heart is a little confused, he must find a way to eliminate these hidden dangers.
　　 And how to deal with the soldier ant silly is also very troublesome.
　　 Continue to keep Dasha. It is undoubtedly a time bomb. If the soldier ant Dasha finds something wrong, he will come and kill him.
　　Sisterm already knew very well about the crazy fighting unit among ants like soldier ants. They would fight desperately against creatures that are unfavorable to ant dens like lunatics.
　　 But he now needs the soldier ant Dasha very much. After all, the construction of the wintering nest must be completed by Dasha, and the same is true for storing food for the winter.
　　Sisterm is very tangled...
　　……
　　 Fortunately, the soldier ant Dasha only doubted Sisterm once, and then didn't mention it again, as if he had forgotten that matter.
　　 But since then, the behavior of Soldier Ant Dashou has become more and more strange.
　　 In addition to the translucent stone that Systrom gave it to him, Dasha would also go to a nearby puddle that had not completely dried up.
　　 In some free time to complete the task given to it by Systrom, it will be silently in a daze at the reflection in the water, and touch the reflection on the water surface with its feet from time to time, whether it is day or night.
　　 It seems to be thinking about something.
　　Sistem would often watch from a distance. He couldn't understand what Dasha Soldier was thinking, but looking like this, Dasha would not rebel against him in a short time.
　　 just continued for two days.
　　 During the process of communicating with Dasha soldier again, Dasha did not know what he thought of, and suddenly asked Sistrom, "What am I?"
　　 "You, it's a soldier ant." Systrom replied.
　　 "Soldier Ant, what is it?"
　　 "A kind of ant responsible for protecting ant nests. There are many kinds of ants, just like you are a soldier ant and I am the queen." Sistrom explained.
　　 Soldier Ant Dasha seemed to have a brief thought, and it didn't take long for him to ask Systrom a new question.
　　 "I, why, is it... a soldier? You, why, is it a queen?"
"This……"
　　 Hearing Dasha's question and tone, Sisterm was stunned. He finally understood why the soldier Ant Dasha asked him if he was a queen a few days ago.
　　 Dasha did not doubt the identity of the queen ant he fabricated, but because of the improvement of his intelligence, he has produced a new understanding of the world.
　　 Dasha should be aware of the concept of self.
　　Self, also known as self-awareness or self-concept, mainly refers to the individual's cognition of his own existence, and is the result of the individual's self-evaluation of his social role.
　　 In our experience, we are aware of everything about ourselves and distinguish it from other things around us and other people. This is the self and self-consciousness.
　　 There is no doubt that the soldier ant Dasha has been born with his own unique wisdom after this period of growth, allowing him to recognize himself.
　　 At that time, he was not in a daze when he watched the reflection on the water surface, but saw himself in the reflection and was puzzled.
　　 And Dasha's question has undoubtedly risen from an ordinary question to a philosophical level.
　　 is like asking a human, why he is a human?
　　 Why is it a soldier ant, and why is Systrom a queen?
　　 This is a question without a clear answer at all. It is difficult for Systrom to answer it.
　　 But Systrom is not without a choice, he can push the problem to fate, everything is dictated by fate.
　　 Destiny is the most mysterious thing to explain this problem.
　　 But Dasha will definitely continue to ask what fate is, and carry on the question endlessly, just like a bear kid who always likes to ask why.
　　 Fortunately, the soldier ant Dasha after all is not like crying bear children, but a soldier ant in the ant nest.
　　 After hearing Sisterm order him to continue to direct the workers to build the wintering crypt, it decisively gave up its doubts, chose to implement Sisterm's order, and began to direct the worker ants to continue to build the wintering crypt for Sisterm.

　　 Soldier Ant Dasha was only aware of his own self, and he had not doubted Systrom.
　　 But this incident did not completely relieve Systrom.
　　 If the soldier ant Dasha if his intelligence grows like this, it will sooner or later discover that Systrom is not the same species as it, but a grasshopper.
　　 At that time, what will happen, Systrom can't predict.
　　 Because Sistrom ordered Dasha to keep eating, Dasha's figure has grown further, and now it has reached 5.5 cm.
　　 Although it is not as strong as Sisterm, the pair of huge fangs and stings on the tail are enough to threaten Sisterm.
　　Sistem felt a little uneasy. He worried that if he didn't know when, the soldier ant would find something wrong, and then attacked him.
　　 There is no way, Sisterm can only order Dasha to build his wintering lair as soon as possible, and at the same time begin to alienate Dasha from the soldier ant, reducing contact with Dasha.
　　Sistem has made a decision that when Dasha helped him build the wintering lair and filled the granary in the wintering lair, he would let Dasha return to the ant lair without contact.
　　 Of course, he also thought about being a soldier, Dasha, after doing all this, in order to eliminate the troubles, he would kill Dasha.
　　 But this kind of bird hides its bow, and he can't do things that are deadly.

　　 A little bit of time passed~EbookFREE.me~Sisterm’s wintering lair was gradually built by Dasha’s construction team to a depth of 4 and a half meters.
　　 Ants seem to have no wisdom, but the underground nests they build are perfect.
　　 The aisles of the nest extend in all directions, which can effectively ventilate from the hole, and the worker ants have gradually dug dozens of granaries for him to store food.
　　 After these days, Systrom's brainwashed ant larvae hatched from the eggs one after another, and dozens of ant larvae have gathered around him.
　　 The first batch of ant larvae that hatched have condensed into pupae under sufficient food. It seems that the growth cycle of these ants is not too long.
　　 And Sisterm also reached level 12 when he was 25 days before the end of his life.
　　 His body has grown further, reaching 17 cm, and the [Insect Adaptability] (12/21) in the bloodline has been upgraded to [Insect Adaptability] (13/21).
Starting from level 11, every time his [Insect Adaptability] talent level is increased, his grasshopper bloodline will send some images to him. This is also the case this time, Sisterm’s mind reappears in groups of ants The scene of grasshoppers flying.
　　 It’s just that he still doesn’t know what purpose the locust swarms do.
　　 With this upgrade, his newly acquired derivative ability [Keep Vision] (3/9) has been upgraded to [Keep Vision] (4/9), and his vision has been further improved.
　　 But compared to these, the biggest feeling of the successful promotion to Level 12 is his talent [degeneration and growth].
　　 From the time he reached level 12, the blood flowing on his body was tumbling like a boil, and the exoskeleton all over his body became very itchy.
　　His body is urging him to immediately undergo a third transformation...
