South of Shucheng, Qinglong Town.

It is a prosperous town with more than 300,000 people, and in fact, it can be regarded as a medium-sized county seat.

Qinglong Town is the most developed tourism, because it is close to the largest natural park in western China, Longtan Scenic Area, so this town is full of small hotels and restaurants, and some folk shops or something.

These days, it is the peak period of tourism in Longtan Scenic Area, and there are tourists everywhere.

It is precisely because of the large number of people that the vision of the Longtan Scenic Area will be discovered so quickly.

The first to find ants is an ordinary cleaner in Longtan Scenic Area, and Uncle Yang, a cleaner, is responsible for cleaning up the garbage littered by tourists every day, and the area he is responsible for is a small botanical garden in Longtan Scenic Area.

It is full of tropical plants, and in order to ensure the growth of tropical plants, a lot of fluorescent lamps are added to it. Two hours before the incident, Uncle Yang found that several dragon's blood trees had fallen in the small botanical garden.

When Uncle Yang walked into the botanical garden, the fallen dragon's blood tree was cracked, and a vast number of ants crawled out of it.

It is not the kind of black ant that is common in China, nor is it a yellow ant that is common in the wild, but a strange ant with a red body, and it is the size of a fingernail, and it directly "eats" the huge dragon's blood tree.

Uncle Yang disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, and he was frightened, but he was very responsible, and after closing the botanical garden directly, he ran to report to the management of the scenic spot.

The duty manager of the scenic spot was dealing with several customer complaints at the time, and he was in the mood to pay attention to any "ants", so he sent Uncle Yang away.

When Uncle Yang rushed back to the botanical garden, he found that half of the plants in it had disappeared, and he was frightened, so he borrowed a mobile phone from a colleague, took a picture of the scene, and then sounded the alarm without hesitation, and rushed to the Qinglong Town Police Station on an electric car.

The police at the police station are the most trusted people of Uncle Yang, and after receiving his report, especially when they saw the video on their mobile phones, the police at the police station also panicked, so they called the Donghuai County Public Security Bureau.

In this way, from the town to the county seat, and then to Shucheng, after a series of transmissions, Shucheng sent a newly formed anti-biochemical team and rushed to Longtan Scenic Area in time.

At this time, the entire botanical garden had already fallen, because Uncle Yang's alarm sounded in time, and the people in the scenic spot were almost evacuated.

After a preliminary survey of the scene, the anti-biochemical team made a reasonable but very dangerous move, and they were going to catch a few red ants to study......

"It's all dead, and when you go in, you're gone." Afterwards, Uncle Yang told reporters that he was also a person who had seen the world, but he was still trembling all over his body.

The Shucheng anti-biochemical team disappeared after entering the botanical garden, and no one saw whether it was "eaten" by ants.

Then the people from Shucheng TV came, and there was a terrifying scene on the big screen.

Li Shaoyang, Luo Hu and Gu Mengxun in the rental house rushed back to the office as soon as possible, because of the ancient virus incident, the three of them have formed a tacit understanding, although they have mutual suspicions, they cooperate very well.

Luo Hu summoned his own action team, Gu Mengxun also rearmed the Blood Dragon Mercenary Team, took Li Shaoyang, and after the two teams got on four armored off-road vehicles, Li Shaoyang looked up and saw the airship that appeared on the roof of the Stock Market Building.

The giant airship is powered by the oldest steam, and because of this, the steam airship without too many electronic components is the only aircraft that can be used under the Skyware protection net.

The airship lowered its iron hook, took four armored off-road, and flew towards Qinglong Town.

In the car, Gu Mengxun was very depressed: "It's a pity that all our insect experts are dead, and now it's difficult to find an expert who understands ants." ”

Luo Hu sneered: "Even if an ant becomes a sperm, it is still an ant, and for a cultivator, it is not worth mentioning at all." ”

The two glanced at each other unhappily, only Li Shaoyang frowned: "Judging from the report, those ants eat everything, a bit like the legendary African man-eating ants." ”

Gu Mengxun was disdainful: "Man-eating ants are not as terrible as the legend, I have seen it myself, a group of people come over, and it takes half a day to eat a sheep." ”

"However, the great thing about those man-eating ants is that they can drag their prey forward, like a black tide, and they keep moving with everything, and finally drag them to their nests," she described vividly. ”

The faces of the people sitting in the car changed, and Rahu still had a poker face: "No matter how powerful it is, I can do it alone." ”

The airship slowly came to the top of Qinglong Town, and the army was covered below, and a rapid reaction force under the former Shucheng Military Region and now the 50th Group Army of the Western Theater happened to be practicing nearby, so it quickly came and established a preliminary defensive line.

It can be seen that there are hundreds of buses parked outside the Longtan Scenic Area, which are evacuating the crowd, and now not only the tourists will be evacuated, but also the part of the south of Qinglong Town near the scenic spot has also been isolated.

The airship put down the off-road vehicle, and Gu Mengxun took them to the temporary command post, and the on-site commanders included the deputy mayor of Shucheng City, the secretary of the Party Committee of Qinglong Town, and the head of the military.

The big names on both the military and the political side are there, but the command is in Gu Mengxun's hands.

However, the people at the scene knew Gu Mengxun's identity, so there was no dissatisfaction.

"Let's talk about the situation first." Gu Mengxun sat down and said.

The military is on the front line, so it knows the situation best. A staff officer said in a low voice: "We first sent an unmanned car, the kind with a camera, but the car went in less than ten seconds, and only took a few photos, and it was eaten by those monster ants." ”

Gu Mengxun interrupted him: "How do you know that the unmanned car has been eaten?" ”

The staff officer was stunned, and Gu Mengxun said coldly: "What if that group of ants dismantles the camera and captures the unmanned vehicle?" ”

The staff officer laughed, and so did the others.

"Ants? Can they capture a car? I don't think the ants will be able to operate unmanned vehicles......" Before the chief could finish his words, a burst of gunfire was heard in front of him.

Everyone jumped up nervously, and the staff officer grabbed the intercom and asked sharply, "Who fired the gun and why did you shoot it?" ”

There was a stammering report from the sentry ahead: "Report, our unmanned vehicle rushed out with a bunch of ants, the speed is too fast, we have no choice but to shoot!" ”

The chief immediately got up, Gu Mengxun and the others also followed, and saw that in front of the cordon, an unmanned car had been shot through the tires, and it had overturned, spinning in place, and the car was densely packed with red ants, which were rapidly retreating at this time, and the scene looked like a red stream flowing.

The chief and the others were stunned, and they couldn't help but look at Gu Mengxun.

Gu Mengxun's face was serious: "You think well, these ants are wise, I can even speculate that those who disappeared in the scenic spot not long ago are very likely to have been captured." ”

Everyone looked at each other, what Gu Mengxun said was too unbelievable.

"Assuming that these ants really have intelligence, what do they do with their captives? Do you want to negotiate with us? The chief asked, shaking his head.

Gu Mengxun didn't speak, and finally sighed: "I'm just guessing, now we don't even know what these ants are." ”

"What should we do?" The chief couldn't help but mutter, "It's not enough to just look like this. ”

At this time, the deputy mayor of Shucheng interjected: "The ant killers we transferred from the city have arrived, they are all newly developed and harmless to the air, but they have a certain degree of pollution to the land in the scenic spot." ”

Gu Mengxun immediately said: "No matter what, let's try spraying insecticides first, we don't know the reality of the ants, and this group of ants is well-organized, it seems that there is some plan." ”

When she said this, she already regarded ants as intelligent creatures like humans, and others did not think so.

A hundred kilograms of pesticides are already in place, and these doses can cover an area of 4000 square meters. It's a tentative attack.

The officers and soldiers at the scene waited for the order from the front, and the department in charge of intelligence in the army called up the data from the local meteorological station and said: "Southwest wind, level 3, can be delivered." ”

As a result, fireworks-like plastic bombs appeared in the air, and the warheads did not explode immediately after landing, but opened automatically, revealing the structure of automatic sprinklers, and then the white insecticide began to spray.

The first place of release was near the gate of the Longtan Scenic Area, which has been occupied by ants.

The use of 10:1 ratio of insecticides, the power is already very powerful, usually used in urban areas, generally 1000:1 ratio, which is equivalent to increasing the concentration of insecticides by 100 times, it is said that this trick, even the hypertrophied rats can not stand it.

In the observation car outside the headquarters, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see the dense swarm of red ants began to wriggle. Then in the position covered by the insecticide, many red ants could no longer move, and finally turned out of their stomachs, and it was estimated that they were dead.

"It worked!" Great joy to all.

"Don't be too happy, it's just that less than a tenth of the ants are dead." Gu Mengxun said coldly.

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations in front of them, and the people in the observation car behind were also stunned, they saw that in the picture, the ants within the range of the insecticide were flexing their bodies, the carapace behind them was cracked, and a pair of wings stretched out.

At the same time, the ants shed all their epidermis, and under the new epidermis, there is a transparent carapace with countless small holes on it.

"Zoom in on the observation camera in front of you." Gu Mengxun suddenly got up and said.

The lens zooms in, and you can clearly see the small holes in the ant's new shell.

Gu Mengxun couldn't help but gasp.

"What the hell is going on?" Everyone asked nervously.

"They've evolved!" Li Shaoyang, who had been silent all the time, sighed: "It's the first time I've seen a creature that can complete evolution in such a short time. ”

"What does it mean to evolve?" Someone doesn't understand.

Gu Mengxun glanced at Li Shaoyang, and then explained: "The ants were attacked by deadly poisonous gases, and after a batch of deaths, the rest evolved wings that could fly in order to resist these poisons, and at the same time, the carapace on the surface of the body also evolved into a new shell that could filter the air. ”

The people in the car were all stupid.
