Chapter 481: Forcible Crossing
"Whew! Laugh at! Laugh at! ”
The sound of the air pipe pumping the inflatable raft continued to sound, and although the mercenary moved quickly, Zheng Fan's face was difficult to loosen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Counting the 8 inflatable rafts that can be used in the equipment of the Lasambo family, we still have 22 inflatable rafts, and if we follow the maximum number of 6 people carried by a single inflatable raft, we can carry out a one-time forced crossing with people and equipment." Yuan Tiejiang reported to Zheng Fan.
"There's no good way now, I'm ready to force all of them." Zheng Fan wiped his eyelids, with a hard meaning.
"Why don't you send an inflatable raft to carry people and explore the way first?"
Yuan Tiejiang was not too sure, and consulted Zheng Fan's opinion.
"It's good to keep a certain distance, if you only send an inflatable raft and something happens, will the people behind dare to pass?" Zheng Fan looked at some mercenaries who couldn't hide their nervousness, and seemed to signal that some people in the team had become frightened birds.
"Everyone is ready to get on the inflatable raft and cross the quagmire together, even if there is danger ahead, there is no way back, stay in this ghost place, there will be no chance except a dead end." Yuan Tiejiang shouted to the people of the mercenary group.
"If there is danger, I still have some confidence."
Fang Xinran nodded firmly, as if he would protect Zheng Fan.
"Take a good look at the equipment of the people of the Lasambo family, maybe in times of crisis, it can help us." Zheng Fan smiled and took out a bag of white powder from the half-human tall backpack.
"Buzz~~~"
As Zheng Fan's eyes lit up, one side of the space was distorted, and a Tibetan spirit bead had been squeezed out of thin air.
Professor Chen's spiritual power, as well as the corpse of the xenomorph ice attribute spirit base that was vaguely devoured by Zheng Fan all the way, had no life at this time.
"Poof~~~"
Zheng Fan plunged his big hand straight into the lower abdomen of Professor Chen's corpse, and immediately launched the devouring power to void the shot, and soon in the vibration, a hidden spirit bead was drawn out from the broken hole in the corpse's lower abdomen.
"Now that we're in trouble, what do you think we should do?" Zheng Fan grabbed the big hand that was shaking the Ice Light Huazang Spirit Bead, and he could clearly see that he was absorbing the slightest bit of ice power in the bead's body.
Seeing that Zheng Fan separated the Tibetan Spirit Bead that had fused with Professor Chen, and another Tibetan Spirit Bead appeared, even Fang Xinran couldn't be sure who he was talking to.
"You want me to help you, but you still die of this heart."
A Tibetan spirit bead glowing with wind attribute spiritual power revealed the voice of the red-robed man.
"If you don't have any use value, your consciousness will have no need to exist." Zheng Fan increased the devouring intensity of the alien spiritual power of the hidden spirit bead in his hand, and his expression faintly revealed a sense of hideousness.
However, for Zheng Fan's threat, the red-robed man's voice never came out of the Tibetan Spirit Bead.
"Bang~~~"
As Zheng Fan shook his hand, he slammed Professor Chen's Ice Hidden Spirit Bead into the Hidden Spirit Bead that faintly revealed the spiritual power of the wind attribute, and the two beads quickly disappeared into the distorted space together.
"It's not a good time yet."
Facing Fang Xinran's gaze, Zheng Fan shook his head, somewhat helpless.
"The alien ice spiritual power you absorbed?"
Finding that the skin on Zheng Fan's right arm was faintly glowing with frost brilliance from the inside out, as if it was difficult to absorb and digest the cold ice spiritual power of the different species in a short period of time, and it was counterattacked, Fang Xinran couldn't help but be a little worried.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Zheng Fan's right hand clenched his fist slowly, and in the unfavorable situation, what he thought of was that he might be able to use this xenomorphic ice spiritual power that was not easy to absorb.
"Boss, the preparations are almost complete, you can gather a team to force a quagmire across the swamp......" Yuan Tiejiang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and a mercenary who was scattered on the periphery had already suddenly squatted down.
"Ah~~~"
The heart-rending howl made everyone tremble.
"Is it a bug?"
Finding the male mercenary squatting down, his legs kept stomping, and his hands fluttered with his body, Zheng Fan instinctively made some judgments.
"Crossing the quagmire, fast, fast, fast!"
At this time, Yuan Tiejiang didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly roared, letting the mercenaries inflate the raft on the edge of the mire.
Some of the inflatable rafts were not only crowded with six mercenaries, but also piled up some equipment, which made them look full.
"Whew~~~"
On the dead leaf layer, even if the mercenary sits on the inflatable raft first, it is quite easy to push, as long as someone is stable behind the force, the inflatable raft with the person sitting in the seat will soon be pushed into the mire.
"Row."
The inflatable raft that opened the folding slurry and descended into the mire first had already been slid by the mercenary.
"Zheng Fan ......"
For Zheng Fan not to rush to get on the inflatable raft, but tried to approach the mercenary who was crawled all over by the gray thing to observe the situation, Fang Xinran couldn't help but remind him.
"It's ants!"
Zheng Fan had already seen very clearly at this time, the gray things crawling on the mercenary's body were dense ants.
Although the size is similar to the usual black ants, the gray ants that bite the mercenaries are extremely ferocious, and can release formic acid, which is extremely corrosive.
There are more and more ants on the male mercenary, and the whole person is bitten at the same time, there is a faint acidic smoke.
In less than half a minute, when the humanoid ant colony was scattered, the male mercenary who was gnawed did not even have any bones left.
"Gone."
Zheng Fan, who was scared away, strode behind the inflatable raft where Fang Xinran and Yuan Tiejiang were, and pushed the inflatable raft into the mire with one foot, while he jumped and landed steadily on the inflatable raft.
"What's going on?"
Yuan Tiejiang couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Be careful, the dead leaves on this swamp are also quite thick, although it is difficult for people to gain a foothold, but it is difficult for ants to say." Zheng Fan swallowed his saliva and gave a reply.
"If Professor Chen had walked this path before, maybe there would be a way to deal with it." Fang Xinran glanced at the bag of white powder that Zheng Fan had taken out before, and pinned his hopes on the equipment of the people of the Lasambo family.
"The change came a little suddenly, have you ever wondered why we rushed out of the sarcophagus formation, rested for five or six hours without encountering an attack from ants, but stayed on the edge of the mire for a while, but an ant colony appeared?" Zheng Fan's bad premonition is getting stronger and stronger.
"There are only two possibilities, and that is that the colony is reluctant to approach the sarcophagus for some reason, or that they are only living on the edge of the mire." Fang Xinran took a deep breath and said.
"Not necessarily the edge of the mire, maybe living in the mire, or the dark forest ahead." Zheng Fan said the worst.
"If it's the same as the boss's estimate, wouldn't we have sent it to the door? One or two ants are not scary, but if it is an ant colony, it is almost difficult to deal with. Yuan Tiejiang's face turned pale.
In Yuan Tiejiang's opinion, if it encounters a large monster, it may be a little better, if the ant swarm, you can't use machine guns to break through, and the lethal weapons equipped by the mercenary group are almost useless for such things.
"Ah~~~"
The screams rang out, and an inflatable raft was already being attacked by the ant colony, causing the mercenary to be bitten by the ants that climbed up.
Looking at the other inflatable rafts, Zheng Fan even found that there were a few inflatable rafts that were stranded in the mud and couldn't paddle.
"Is the viscosity of muddy water also different?"
Zheng Fan soon realized that in the mud swamp, where the muddy water is thin, it is more conducive to paddling an inflatable raft, but when it comes to the mud and sticky place, even if he uses the power to cut the slurry, it is very difficult to move forward.
"Coupled with the layer of dead leaves on top of the mire, it is difficult to see what is going on below, and the danger to face at the moment may go beyond the rope bridge and the sarcophagus." Fang Xinran couldn't help but realize that this was the real big crisis.
"Xinran, you can catch Lao Yuan later."
Zheng Fan tried his best to calm his mind and let go of his spiritual sense, feeling the subtle fluctuations of the dead leaves above the mire.
"Turn a little left."
It didn't take long for Zheng Fan to suddenly say to the two young girls who were paddling.
"Can he tell the consistency of a mire?"
Another vigilant girl special forces soldier was somewhat surprised by Zheng Fan's instructions.
"There is a floating layer of dead leaves, which should be a place where the upper layer of silt is scarce and there is a certain depth of water. However, even if you can keep the inflatable raft moving, it is not the most critical issue. Zheng Fan couldn't help but worry that if the ants still existed after the quagmire, let alone marching, it would be very difficult to even protect themselves.
"Boss, look ......"
Yuan Tiejiang stretched out his hand in horror and pointed to the layer of dead leaves not far away.
"Sprinkle some white powder and try."
Finding a few small ants, crawling towards the inflatable raft in the dead leaf layer, Zheng Fan hurriedly said happily.
On the surface, there are only a few ants, but what is going on inside the dead leaf layer, Yuan Tiejiang can guess.
"Whew~~~"
As Fang Xinran took out a handful of white powder from the bag and swayed it around the inflatable raft, the few ants on the surface of the dead leaf layer quickly turned around as if they had been driven away.
"Do you need to stop?"
Yuan Tiejiang subconsciously covered his heart with his hand, and asked Zheng Fan with a long breath.
"You shouldn't have to stop, just paddle a little to the left."
Although Zheng Fan didn't know if the ants that were driven away by the white powder would transmit information, after turning his head, he no longer targeted this inflatable raft.
"If the white powder is not good, even if we abandon the inflatable raft, it will be difficult to find a place to stay in this swamp." Yuan Tiejiang was somewhat fortunate that he would not die.
"I really didn't expect that these mercenaries were so useless, and before they could reach the forest, they were almost wiped out." Zheng Fan observed the situation on the quagmire and sighed unabashedly.
If it was a real fight, Yuan Tiejiang didn't think that the mercenary group would lose, but in the face of continuous unexpected changes, he was inevitably a little powerless.
"It's all over."
Fang Xinran was able to find at this time that even if there was an inflatable raft that used white powder to avoid being eaten by the ant colony, it was difficult to find the correct rowing path in the mire, and they ran aground for it.
Some of the panicked mercenaries, unable to paddle an inflatable raft, even tried to walk on the mud, but soon gradually sank into it, unable to struggle out of the mud even with the help of outsiders.
"The stranded inflatable raft is also sinking, and the silt in this swamp seems to be different from the outside world." Yuan Tiejiang even saw that even if he didn't get off the inflatable raft, even if he brought the inflatable raft, he would sink into the viscous mire little by little.
