Chapter 53: The Ant Plague
"Bugs. An Lin soon saw a bug the size of a little finger appear in the hole.
Seeing that there were only such a pea-sized insect in the cave, the thin monkey also had the courage to step forward.
"That's what our food is eaten by this little thing?" the thin monkey took a short sword and dug into the hole.
The bug's pair of front jaws bit into the tip of the sword, and the skinny monkey immediately dragged it out of the hole.
It was a white bug with a powerful forejaw that creaked at the blade of the sword.
"What kind of bug is this?"
An Lin was puzzled, he had never seen such an insect, and the most important thing was that An Lin felt the fluctuation of life energy on his body.
"The more you look at it, the more you look like ants. A young man said with some uncertainty.
"It's termites,"
"Yes, it's termites, and we often have termite plagues in our town, so we are all too familiar with the appearance of this termite. An old man affirmed.
"It's just that why is this head so big, it can't be the queen ant?"
"Yes, it's definitely the queen ant, otherwise how could there be such a big head. ”
Termites are generally in wooden materials, how can they appear in the ground, and how can this queen appear here alone, the most strange thing is that there are life energy fluctuations on its body, An Lin frowned.
The sound inside the cave did not stop, but became louder and louder, and An Lin even felt a strong life energy rushing out of the hole.
"All out, all out. ”
"Open the door, go open the door. An Lin pushed the butterfly out.
Although she didn't understand why An Lin had become so anxious, Hua Yuning also felt that something bad was happening.
"Whoever has fire, fast. ”
At this time, he was very anxious, although the thing that made the sound had not yet appeared, An Lin could also imagine that it was a dense network of termites.
If it is really a termite before the ancient seal was unlocked, then there is no need to panic, the key is that the current termite is obviously abnormal, and it should be said that it has mutated or evolved.
If the number is small, everyone has nothing to be afraid of, but they can't stand the large number, and An Lin doesn't dare to bet.
"Sir, I'm this~"
Seeing the thin monkey take out a lighter, An Lin snatched it up.
At this time, the cave was already full of white flowers, An Lin hurriedly stuffed some plastic bags around the cave into the hole, and specially called a few young people to take off their clothes and stuff them into the hole.
"Everybody is out of the lab. An Lin lit the clothes at the entrance of the cave and hurriedly drank it
A group of people around also noticed the problem, but they still hesitated when they heard such an order.
"Sir, there are a lot of monsters out there. ”
The thin monkey was a little embarrassed, and the three people who went out were the best witnesses.
If you want to live, let Lao Tzu out, An Lin grabbed the thin monkey by the collar and threw it on the ground.
A fire was already burning in the corner, and the pungent smell of burnt laundry filled the lab, but only a dozen or so people obeyed the instructions to go outside the lab.
An Lin's face was gloomy, if he wanted to destroy these termites with this fire, it was simply wishful thinking, and he lit this fire only to stop it for a short time.
Sure enough, before the flames could be extinguished, a dense group of termites had crawled out of the hole.
"Nima. "A strong man raised his foot and stepped on a termite.
Only a click was heard, and a puddle of milky liquid flowed from its feet.
Others followed suit, and there was a constant clicking sound in the laboratory, but An Lin had already left the laboratory.
Everyone kept stepping on those termites, but they didn't know that the entire laboratory was already crawling with termites.
An Lin was standing at the door looking at these people in the laboratory, and he reminded them a few times that these people didn't listen to him at all.
"Ahh
The screams attracted a crowd of people who were stomping on termites.
Everyone saw that a young man's feet were already crawling with worms, and streams of blood were flowing from his feet.
Accompanied by the screams of the young man, several roars were heard in the laboratory, followed by panic screams one after another.
And the young man who was bitten by the insect at the beginning had deep white bones on his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground, as if he was a bloody man.
"Come out quickly. An Lin shouted again.
The people in the laboratory finally reacted, and those who were still able to move rushed to the door in panic.
The crowd rushed to the gate, and a few of them fell and let out heart-rending screams.
"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, save me. "A young man was tugging at the clothes of a skinny monkey, whose legs were already crawling with termites.
The thin monkey turned around and aimed his face at the young man's head with a hideous face.
"Bang. ”
As the gunshots rang out, the termites in the lab became even more agitated.
The skinny monkey rushed out of the laboratory and slapped off a few termites on his body.
At this time, no one cares about them, and they can't wait for their parents to have two more legs.
There are also people who deliberately trip over others knowing that they can't get out. In the face of death, humanity is vividly displayed.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz~"
The first winged termite flew out, and An Lin quickly slashed it off.
"Close the door. ”
There were even winged termites, An Lin almost forgot about it, and hurriedly urged the butterflies.
Looking at the iron door that was gradually closing, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of the mutant monster outside the door, and hurriedly looked around.
"Hey, there are no monsters anymore. I don't know who shouted.
The group was excited, and at this time, the mutant disappeared, giving everyone hope. There was not a single mutant outside the laboratory, and it was relatively safe for everyone to stay in the small courtyard.
In fact, as early as when An Lin and the others entered the laboratory, they had already discovered the changes in the town, and the mutant who could have surrounded the town did not know where to hide, probably waiting to sneak attack everyone again.
Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that simple, or that the mutants actually left here and were driven away by something.
Looking at the countless termites, An Lin was even more convinced of his thoughts.
The mutants are bloodthirsty and brutal, not afraid of death, even in the face of people who are stronger than themselves, they do not flinch half a point, but choose to evacuate the town at this time.
If that's what you guessed, the whole town might not be safe.
"You, go and count the number of people. An Lin kicked the thin monkey's ass.
Although the thin monkey complained, he still gathered everyone together, and what happened just now made him admire An Lin even more.
"Sir, 53 people in all. ”
There were more than 20 people left inside, and if it weren't for those people who didn't obey their orders, how could there be so many casualties.
"Damn, it's all these goddamn bugs. "The skinny monkey kept stepping on a few termites.
An Lin couldn't help frowning, those termites had been trampled on by him, and a puddle of milky white liquid was all over the ground, and in these liquids, An Lin felt the fluctuation of life energy.
"Ah, shit. ”
The skinny monkey screamed.
An Lin saw that on the sole of his left foot, the front jaw of a termite pierced in, and along the front jaw, a stream of blood continued to flow out.
The thin monkey held his left leg in both hands, and his body kept shaking, as if he was in great pain.
An Lin hurriedly squatted down and kept groping in these liquids, and after a while, he saw a crystal less than a millimeter in his hand.
If it weren't for the deliberate observation, such a small object would not have been found at all, and next to the corpses of several other termites, An Lin also found crystals less than a millimeter.
These are life stones, but they were swallowed by termites and not absorbed by them.
If these termites have such life-energy stones in their bodies, it should be such a huge resource, An Lin thought about the termites in the laboratory, these are all life-energy stones.
Shaking his head, An Lin dispelled the thought in his heart, the dense termites made people's scalps tingle when they looked at it, and it was not something they could deal with at all.
"Damn. ”
The skinny monkey pulled the pair of front jaws out of the soles of his feet, picked up a brick and smashed it at a termite.
At this time, from time to time, some people in the crowd kicked on behalf of each other.
"How can there be so many termites?" said Butterfly, splitting a termite in two.
"Oh no, none of this came out of the lab, everyone get out of town. An Lin took the lead and walked out of the small courtyard.
Just now, he didn't obey An Lin's orders and walked away at the Ghost Gate, and now when An Lin said this, how dare everyone stay here.
"Everybody come with me. At this time, the butterfly led the way.
In this alley town, Hua Die is more familiar than herself, and with her leadership, everyone quickly rushed out of the town. Thankfully, there wasn't a single mutant encountered.
Everyone rushed out of the town for a few hundred meters before stopping, except for Hua Die and An Lin, everyone else was almost out of breath, and even some people couldn't believe that they could run so far in one go.
An Lin turned around, and at this time, the sky above the Hutong town was black and oppressive. These are not dark clouds, but dense termites that can fly.
An Lin couldn't help but sigh, this situation was simply incomprehensible, even if his strength was greatly improved, he still felt powerless in the face of such a huge base.
"Sir, what shall we do now?"
The look of horror on the thin monkey's face could not be concealed, if he hadn't listened to An Lin just now, it was estimated that he had turned into a skeleton.
Looking at the sky, An Lin frowned, in this case, even risking his life to rush to the base is no longer realistic.
The people no longer have a habitat, and such an environment is simply food for the mutants to walk.
"We had to find a place to stay before it got dark. An Lin looked at the crowd, he was not familiar with this area, and he only hoped for these old people who lived here all year round.
"There is a gathering point of villagers in the mountains one kilometer ahead. "This is the closest residential area to this place.
"Sir, there's a town five kilometers away. ”
A bald man limped out, and that's where their gang of thugs came from.
An Linduo glanced at this bald man, but he didn't expect so many people to die, and this bald man was still alive.
The broken part of the bald man's arm had been bound by a skeleton he had picked up from nowhere, and the bleeding had now stopped where he had been shot in his leg.
The gang of thugs had already distanced themselves from the bald man, but the bald man's face was surprisingly calm, and An Lin couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at all.
Both of these wounds were inflicted by himself, and it would be false to say that he would not hold a grudge.
In fact, the bald man hates the most about the brothers who betrayed him, and the bald man has always concealed his heart very well, just to reduce his sense of existence.
"Departure, a kilometer from the settlement. ”
An Lin thought about it, and with the current situation of everyone, it was estimated that it would be difficult to walk 5 kilometers before dark.
