"This network stretched two stories underground and housed one billion ants"
They talk about an ancient ants' kingdom, they never said it was abandoned.

As there are no ants visible, I do hope it was abandonded. But after 10 days of relentlessly incoming cement it would have been, for sure.

I wonder why they had to dig it out... it could have meant shelter for a lot of other insects, bugs, small critters...
