Moreover, those Chimera Ants who remained loyal to the Queen could potentially be controlled by leveraging the Queen's life. This way, the remaining Chimera Ants could be made to follow their orders…
Of course, this was thinking a bit too far-fetched.
Ging would not want, nor does he need, these Chimera Ants to obey his orders.
If he really wants to gather people with the connections and resources he has, it will be a matter of minutes.
However, using them as expendable pawns for an expedition to the Dark Continent, perhaps as a scouting team or labor force, could be worth considering.
After all, these creatures originated from the Dark Continent, meaning they might be better suited to surviving in that environment than humans.
This was just one of Ging's many ideas. If it worked, great; if not, it didn't matter. He had several different plans for exploring the Dark Continent, and this was just one of them.
With their goal set, the two of them quickly headed toward the Chimera Ant nest.
Meanwhile, elsewhere…
"Damn, how can that human be so strong?!"
Zazan, who was leading Pike and other subordinates, fled in panic with an extremely ugly expression.
Among her ranks was someone with abilities similar to Flutter under Leol's command, capable of observing the surrounding environment and even seeing far into the distance.
After learning that Leol, Cheetu, Welfin, and other Squadron Leaders had all been easily dealt with by a single human, who dispatched them effortlessly with just a single bullet, she was so terrified that she didn't dare to look back.
Instead, she immediately led her followers in a blind escape.
"As long as I can get out of this damned place, I will build my own kingdom and become the new Queen!"
Harboring such ambitions, Zazan led her subordinates to set out toward the Kakin Empire.
They believed their path was one of glorious opportunity, a bright and promising future…
But in reality, they may have been walking step by step toward the abyss, toward death itself.
Back at the Chimera Ant nest, Colt finally returned to the Chimera Ant nest with the medical team.
At this time, the nest was basically empty, and the Queen was on the verge of death.
The other Chimera Ants had already sought their own paths.
Even many of their Chimera Ant soldiers have almost merged with other outgoing troops.
There are also some unexpected weirdos in the eyes of the ants, such as the Pink Koala and other officers, who still remain in the nest.
Colt and his team were already aware of what had happened to the Chimera Ants that had left.
On their way back, they had seen the bodies of one Chimera Ant after another, killed by Lan.
Upon learning of this fate, the remaining Chimera Ants couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and fear.
These humans really were really going to kill them all!!
"Fortunately, they were not like an idiot like Leol, who were foolishly blinded by ambition and ran out directly..."
Hiding in the shadows, the lobster squadron leader, Bloster, and the doctor, Octopus, were drenched in cold sweat.
They had been shaken by the fate of their fallen comrades and realized that humans might still be stationed outside, ready to kill any Chimera Ants that tried to flee.
Thus, they all decided to remain quietly inside the nest, not daring to make a move.
And the facts proved that their choices were all correct.
Those ambitious people who ran out, such as Leol, Welfin, etc., all met with accidents.
Even Cheetu, who had the intention of going out to have fun, was not spared. From this point, it can be seen that their caution really saved their lives…
"At least there wasn't an all-out battle. That's the best outcome we could've hoped for."
Colt could only comfort himself in this way.
Then he turned toward the doctors and medical experts, who were doing rescue work with the help of the Octopus Chimera Ant.
Despite his anxiety and worry for the Queen's condition, all Colt could do now was pray for her survival, for her to pull through.
He had done everything within his power as a Chimera Ant.
Even the other Chimera Ants who disliked him couldn't find any fault in his actions.
"Wait... Where is Peggy?"
After calming himself slightly, Colt suddenly realized something unusual.
Peggy was a renowned scholar among the Chimera Ants.
Like Colt, Peggy was a steadfast supporter of the Queen, often discussing the future and development of their species with him.
He should have been among the first to rush to the Queen's side after her injury.
"Peggy... and Meleoron, both of them were taken away by two humans."
Bihorn, who also stayed loyally, replied: "Two humans arrived before you got here."
"We didn't know if they came to attack or if you invited them to treat the Queen, so we didn't take any action."
"But they only observed our nest for a while and checked on Her Majesty's condition..."
Small Bear next to him added: "They briefly treated the Queen and then found Meleoron and Peggy, who were hiding."
"Meleoron seemed to be familiar with one of the human men."
"After they communicated for a while, they took them away."
They briefly described the whole story.
Hearing this, Colt, who had been listening carefully from the side, immediately asked: "Do you remember what the two humans who came looked like?"
