Chapter 287: Brave the Anthill
The people of the Japanese government are also urgently studying countermeasures, and the giant ants are all popping out, what will they pop up next time? If all the scientists on the island were dead! Not to mention how much it will hit biological research in the world, even the huge influence is not so easy to bear.

In order to save the lives of those people and try their best to eliminate the bad influence, Japan sent a large number of fighter planes and helicopters to support, plus the fighters sent by the US military, as long as the people on the island can survive half an hour, they should be able to save their lives. It's just that at this time, half an hour is just as long as a lifetime.
Liao Fei and Gao Xiangyou walked in the shade of the trees to avoid seeing them by helicopters for a while. If a foreigner's helicopter sees it, it won't be a big problem, but if the Self-Defense Forces helicopter sees it, it's a bad thing.
For the sake of safety, the two did not walk fast, and knocked out all the surveillance cameras along the way, so as not to be discovered by others. Completely smashing the camera near the anthill, the two of them observe the exit.
The entrance to the anthill is round, about two square meters, and slopes downward. The giant Martian ant endured the nasty smell of the two of them, and tried to stay away from them and return to the cave. The two turned on the flashlights, looked at each other, and walked into the anthill with their waists bent.
Dense ants come in and out, bustling, as if the crowd is surging in the downtown area. After walking for dozens of meters, the two saw a huge cave, this cave seemed to be a square, and it had no other function, there were several passages connected to this cave, and Liao Fei was directly miserable! Which way to go?
The two of them didn't know that the place in the anthill would be connected to the research room, let alone the way to go, so they had to follow the ants transporting the food first, and no matter what, they had to find the bomb first. Dozens of meters forward, another cave appeared, there were many huge pupae in this cave, and some ants were crawling around on the pupae, and they didn't know if they were protecting or doing something else. After walking for dozens of meters, I finally came to a larger cave, where the corpses of the dead were thrown in, as well as wild boars and rats, and it seemed that this was the storage room of Martian ants.
A large number of corpses were piled up, and the smell of blood was disgusting. The stump and severed arm are mixed with wild boars and mice, and it is disgusting to watch.
Gao Xiangyou almost vomited it here, thinking about it, it is really not a human job to turn over explosives in the sea of corpses and blood.
"There's no time to be disgusted! Hurry up and get to work. Liao Fei patted Gao Xiangyou on the back and almost threw him up!
"Looks like I'm going to eat a vegetarian diet in the future!" Gao Xiangyou swallowed his saliva, climbed up the corpse mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and began to search for treasures.
The corpse was caught by ants miserably, some were still in sections, Gao Xiangyou picked up an arm, and was about to throw it out, and exclaimed: "This person is really rich, the watch is a limited edition of Vacheron Constantin, a good thing!" He quickly took his watch off and slung it around his wrist.
Liao Fei smiled, he didn't care about this behavior, they were all dead, and it was useless to keep the watch, Gao Xiangyou would take it if he liked it. He believes that Gao Sangyou didn't take it because of poor money, it should be to distract himself. Otherwise, looking for something on the corpse mountain, there are giant ants all around, and the pressure in my heart is too great!
The two threw the corpses down one by one, sending out the needed supplies and equipment from their backpacks. After searching for half an hour, Liao Fei found the backpack containing explosives.
Liao Fei raised his backpack and whispered, "Found it!" We're good to go! ā
"Great! Finally not having to be here. Gao Sangyou quickly descended from the corpse mountain.
The clothes of the two were soaked with blood, completely blood-red, and their faces were also covered with blood, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all.
"How?" Gao Xiangyou asked.
"I don't know, try your luck!" Liao Fei and Gao Xiangyou randomly chose a passage to enter.
The internal structure of the anthill is extremely complex, and it is simply a labyrinth. On the outside is a ring of deep ditches, like the ring avenue of the city. Within several ring avenues, there are shallow ravines that crisscross and criss-cross, like the streets and alleys of the city. Both are about three or four meters wide. The bottom and sides of the gully are very smooth. The ravines extend in all directions, like thousands of streets and alleys. The two of them spun around for hours, dizzy, and couldn't find a place to get to the lab. On the contrary, I found a lot of nursery rooms, that is, places where ant larvae and ant eggs were placed.
The ant's burrow is unconventional, some rooms are dedicated to the placement of larvae, some are dedicated to eggs, and some are dedicated to the pupae, no matter which room is taken care of and protected by hard-working workers.
Originally, this cave was built in Japan, trying to imitate a normal anthill, and then the inner walls were reinforced with thick reinforced concrete to prevent ants from breaking open. But they had no idea that the ants had already carved out many more roads and built their own burrows in places they couldn't see. Dripping water through the stones, ants opened out in one place, breaking through the reinforced concrete for a long time, and even the iron plate at the entrance of the hole was constantly destroying. If the Americans hadn't exploded, it wouldn't be far from the ants themselves going up to the ground!
The space opened up by the ants themselves was also reinforced, and the worker ants built up the sand and clay one by one, and glued them together with their own saliva. When it dries, the concrete becomes so strong that it won't collapse the cave and hurt the ants or baby ants that live inside.
Liao Fei and Gao Xiangyou later searched separately in order to find a place as soon as possible, and agreed to come back and meet in half an hour, and they left marks at each passage to ensure that they would not follow the old path and would not let themselves not find their original place.
By the time they met, neither had found their way to the lab. They basically walked through all the passages!
"Did we guess wrong! There is no road to the Lab here? Gao Xiangyou was a little shaken.
"Unless they don't study these ants, there will be." Liao Fei believes that there should be a passage, otherwise it is impossible for the NFF organization, which has been staring at the island through satellites for a long time, not to find anything, even if the woods are dense. This shows that these scientists and imperialism must be operating underground like rats.
"Where's that place? We've only got the last two bottles of the insect repellent potion left! If we don't leave, I'm afraid that when the smell is gone, we will have to send it to the pantry we went to before. ā
Liao Fei thought for a while and said, "At present, only the queen ant has not checked it, if there is not there, we will leave." ā
"Oh! Oh, my God! There are several nursery rooms in the queen ant, all of which are places where eggs are placed, and there are many soldier ants more than one meter long from a distance, and it is estimated that if we go anywhere, we will be broken into thousands of pieces by the soldier ants. ā
"If I don't look at it, I won't give up."
"Oh my God! How could I cooperate with a madman like you. Gao Xiangyou tightened his backpack and sprinkled the last bottle of deworming medicine on his body. He was worried that the amount of medicine was too small to drive away the soldiers.
Liao Fei didn't want to die either, so he poured the anthelmintic medicine on his body. The two of them are now unsuccessful, and if they don't smell and can't walk away the ants, they are likely to be in the anthill, and if they can't find the passage, if they can't find other insect repellents, they will probably not be able to escape from this small island.
When they stepped into the nursery full of ant eggs, they both held their breath and walked with great care to avoid stepping on the eggs under their feet. Guarding the eggs of the Martian ants here are soldier ants, which are special occupational ants in ant society. The large head and large palate allow it to crush hard food, making it a weapon of battle when defending colonies or attacking other species of ants. Moreover, soldier ants have the ability of chemical defense, they can store all kinds of toxic or irritating chemical defense substances in the frontal glands, and are ready to prepare for anti-aggression wars at any time.
Martian ants have been mutated, and the chemical defense substances secreted by their soldier ants are more reactive and toxic, and their chemical composition is more complex. I believe that if you run into it, it is possible to be poisoned.
In fact, those mercenaries and scientists who were bitten by ants and finally dismembered their bodies, once they were bitten, they were actually not far from death! When ants bite people, they secrete formic acid, which stimulates the redness, swelling and pain of the bite wound. And after the giant Martian ant bites a person, it is stimulated by formic acid, which is not as simple as redness, swelling and pain! Their eyes become swollen, which then causes acute chemical pneumonia. Corrodes the wound and eventually leads to acute renal failure or respiratory failure and death.
Soldier ants are very powerful, but in the process of evolution, their mouthparts have degenerated, and they have no ability to feed, so they need to be fed by worker ants.
The insect repellent water is made according to the characteristics of ants and other animals, and the duty of the soldier ants is to protect the family and the country, and protect their queen and queen, but this smell is too bad! Not to mention ants, Liao Fei and Gao Xiangyou, who have smelled for several hours, will also be confused by the insect repellent water!
The Martian ants had no eyes, they couldn't see the two people who came in quietly, and they smelled something that disgusted them, so they dodged one after another, trying their best to avoid Liao Fei and them. But he didn't quit the nursery and insisted on his duties.
After walking through a few nurseries, I came to the place where the queen ant lived, and there were more soldier ants here. The queen and queen ant are on a mound more than two meters high and more than twenty meters wide, which is their bed and palace. In the middle of the depression, the body is up to five meters long, as if the queen ant of a minibus is wriggling. Its head is like an ant, but its body looks like a silkworm baby, of course, this silkworm baby is too big! The queen ant is constantly giving birth, and after a while, a lot of eggs are squeezed out, and the worker ants are constantly busy, removing the eggs and sending them to the nursery in front.
The ant queen is not far from the queen ant, its body is two meters long, and it is not visible except that it is stronger.
On top of this cave, there are several cameras arranged around the perimeter, and several more on the walls of the cave, which are supposed to be used by scientists for analysis.
Liao Fei and Gao Xiangyou have been discovered by Japanese scientists since they walked into the ant-queen's burrow, and it is impossible for Liao Fei to destroy all the cameras without being discovered, so he simply came out generously and let them know that they were in the anthill.
To the left of the anthill, there is a passage, and in the middle of the passage is a gate made of steel, which leads to the institute.
