Chapter 258: Pest Control 1 (I)
"Tchaikov, the natives have released some bugs!" Pandey nervously grabbed the phone and shouted when it was connected.
"What?! Bugger...... Insect eaters? Tchaikov couldn't believe it.
"Yes, several people have already been eaten in front of me," cried Pandey, "Tchaikov, we are in big trouble!" β
That's a big hassle! This is one of the reasons why the Tchaikovs did not dare to open the diamond mines again. Eaters poured out of the ground and pounced on everything that was alive until they were eaten up and could not be controlled, and then they either hibernate into the warm underground, or die in the cold wasteland, in the manuscripts of the Tchaikov family, drawing pictures of devouring insects, Tchaikov still remembers the terrible chelicerae and grinding plate-like mouthparts, the most terrible social insects in modern times are the marching ants, and the marching ants are not spared wherever they go, neither insects nor animals are spared, but compared to the devourers, the marching ants are only a drop in the bucket.
"My ancestors finally sealed the devourers in the ground, and they took them out again!" Tchaikov cursed the natives, but now there was only a way, and the best way was to seal the ground.
"Pandey, think of sealing the hole, or the devours will ravage the land again, and if they are allowed to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable," Tchaikov cried over the phone, "the sooner the better!" β
"What the hell is a worm eater?" Pandey yelled that he had never seen such a ferocious bug.
"This was brought from Loulan, in order to protect the diamond mine and the insect-eating ...... of the royal tombs."
Pandey was stunned for a moment, no one had ever mentioned this matter to him, but he understood that this was a family affair of Tchaikov, and he could only ask it in person when he had the opportunity in the futureβif there was still a chance.
"I didn't expect that I came to this place to get rid of insects!" Alexei cursed, but how the hell could the worms that kept pouring out of the ground be killed?
"Pandey, if you don't block the hole as soon as possible, there will be an even more terrible disaster after devouring insects!" Tchaikov said in an accentuated tone.
"What? Is there anything more terrifying? Pandey exclaimed.
Tchaikov didn't know what else was going on, and when he died, Tchaikov burned most of the manuscripts, telling only that the insect eaters were just the beginning, and that something more terrible would follow.
"Okay. Then we'll have to get rid of the worms. Pandey and Tchaikov finished talking, and said.
"Are you kidding us? We use this to get rid of insects? One of the combatants shook the gun in his hand, and it was obvious that the gun was effective against large things, but the gun was useless when it was crawling all over the ground and chasing small insects that were biting people.
"But, we have to do something...... Pandey said, the cavity in the ground is still pouring out like a tide, the aborigines are scattering in all directions, they have long been left without a master, in order to stay away from the hole, only Pandey and others can stop the devours from spreading.
"If we knew it was a pest control, we had to bring the flamethrower!" Alexei muttered.
"Fire? Well, let's use fire! Pandey had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, "Action! Let's go! The world is about to end! Only we can stop it! β
"I've thought about 10,000 ways I'd die on the battlefield, and I've never thought I'd die to save the world," Alexei shook his head, but he couldn't let it go, he jumped on the ATV, "Pandey, what about your plan?" β
"Plans? Grabbing the oil drum and ...... "Pandey always acts first and then plans, and when he finishes his plan, Alexei is dumbfounded, "Our plan to save the world is as simple as that?" β
"Yes, does it need to be that complicated to save the world?" Pandey glared at Alexey, "Do you have a better idea?" β
"Dick, they've dug up a little something, but something terrible has come out with it, and the moor is now full of people fleeing for their lives," Mayor Mare didn't stay away, he just hid and observed, and he saw everything in the moor, "and...... Tchaikov's men also arrived, in the afternoon, but kept observing from the outside and did not clash with us......"
"Great, as expected," Dick was excited, and it seemed that everything was going according to his expectations, "what terrible thing did they bring out?" β
"Bugs, a kind of bug, can gnaw a living person into a white bone in a matter of minutes." The mayor's tone was a little unpleasant, this was not what he thought.
"Worms, that proves they've dug near the mine, but it's just a little bit off. Greed, Elder Town, greed comes at a price, and it's only a small price......" Dick laughed, and the death of a person in the distant wasteland, no matter how miserable, was impossible for Dick to empathize with without seeing it with his own eyes.
"Is there anything more terrible to come?" The mayor asked, he was also a greedy man, but he didn't want to pay the price.
"If they find the right entrance, then everything will be safe, I promise......" Dick said earnestly.
The mayor listened carefully on the satellite phone, trying to tell if Dick was lying or not, but it seemed difficult to tell.
"According to the plan, you do what you have to do...... Dick reminded.
"I warn you, if you want to get rid of my monopoly ......," Mayor Mare said fiercely.
"Don't worry, 10,000 don't worry, our biggest trouble is not those bugs, but Tchaikov, I'm sure he'll be coming with someone soon......"
"Okay." The mayor thought for a moment, since he had found the edge of the diamond mine, he couldn't give up at this time anyway.
Dick put down the phone and lay down comfortably on the bed, shouting excitedly.
Hundreds of years of searching are coming to an end in their own hands, and what lifts the family curse, what wealth rivals the country's wealth, now seems to be within reach. According to the records of the ancestors, the mine was full of crystal clear diamonds, pink, red, and pure color, like pebbles by the river. There is also the tomb of the king of Loulan, the tomb that will shock the world, the 'heart of the red dragon' that once made everyone crazy, the root of all evil is in the tomb, but it is also the place of fame......
Of course, the road before enjoying wealth was not very easy, according to the manuscripts of the ancestors, the insect eater was only a small test, and the manuscript of the elder Tchaikov recorded in detail that he killed hundreds of miners in order to seal the hole of the insect eater......
But let Tchaikov deal with the troubles, and Dick promised that he would be busy, and when he was busy, Dick would only need to take a small team and get things done through another, safer passage through another, safer passage......
Thinking of this, Dick couldn't help but laugh smugly.
"Pandey, are you sure you have to do it?" Everyone in the wasteland was crammed into 5 ATVs, and Alexai ordered some people to stay away from waiting on foot, and divided the vehicles into three groups, two cars each in Group A and Group B, Group A was responsible for opening the road and clearing obstacles, Group B supported and assisted Group A, and Group C had a single vehicle as a reserve, but Alexai always felt that this plan was very hanging.
"Let's go! Alexey, there's no time to think about it! "Pandey thinks it's a good allocation, the only flaw is that they don't have enough gas in their cars, but it's not a big deal, and the aboriginal drill rigs are nearby.
"Well, be fast, don't stay on the ground for too long," Alexei ordered, "put down everything you don't need and travel light." β
"Alexey, do you think there's a difference between light and heavy here?" One of the team members asked.
Indeed, in the face of those terrible bug chelicerae and grinding mouthparts, the difference between light and heavy is only which dies more painfully.
"Come on! Here comes Pandey, you damn thing! Pandey still took the lead, rushing out in his tiger style, which was about to be crashed.
The bugs were still pouring out of the ground, but by this time the aborigines had already run far away, and the late-coming bugs covered a large area, and they had not found their target for the time being, they were huddled in a heap, fighting against the cold air, and at the same time crowded and spreading outward.
The ground was covered with several layers of insects, and the pile of insects more than 20 centimeters thick was rolling and crowding to try to find a target to attack, and they would not last long in such a cold situation, and they had to find everything to eat as soon as possible.
The bugs felt the shaking of the earth, the vibration proved that there was prey, and those bugs that had just slowed down to find the target of the attack became excited again, and there were terrible "clicks, clicks" sounds on the wasteland, and the backs of some bugs lit up with white, dark green, and light blue fluorescence, which was the instinct of the bugs when they wanted to deal with big prey, and they were calling for reinforcements from nearby bugs......
Pandey's car rushed into the pile first, and when the tiger wheels ran over, where could the insects support the weight of the tiger, they were crushed, and the body fluids burst out, and the wheels ploughed out two blue-green passages in the pile of insects.
The insects didn't seem to have found a way to deal with this strange prey for the time being, and they instinctively crowded in the direction of the moving object, squeezing the insects in front of them under the wheels, but they didn't care whether their kind were alive or dead.
Pandey stopped at the nearest drill rig with a "crunch" and shouted, "Hurry! Get your hands on the oil drums! Pandey urged.
The two team members opened the car door, held the improvised Molotov cocktail of the wine bottle in their hands, lit the cloth strip on the mouth of the bottle, and threw it down first, they had to use the fire to isolate a relatively safe space, so that they could grab the oil barrel.
Other vehicles circled around the drill rig, using wheels and Molotov cocktails to create several barriers, trying to keep more bugs at bay.
The fire can drive away the cold, but if you get too close, it will be roasted, although the insect has no intelligence, but the instinct is still there, seeing the insect gradually move away from the fire, the team jumped out of the car and quickly ran to the oil drum piled up next to the drill rig.
"Empty! Empty! It's still empty! "After checking several in a row, all of them were empty oil drums, the team members were a little anxious, and the insects that were driven away by the fire seemed to sense that there was food on the ground, and gathered again and were ready to move, which made the team members even more nervous.
"Keep checking!" Pandey shouted.
