Chapter 107: The Truth
Wu Yun watched Wendy jump off the platform with Hulk, he approached the edge of the platform, looked down at the terrifying height, he asked himself that there was still a big gap between him and Jackie Chan, naturally he didn't dare to play so hard, Wu Yun honestly walked down the steps of the gangway step by step.
By the time he came down, Wendy had already fought the giant ants for dozens of rounds. The appearance of the giant ant in the burrow, under the white searchlight, naturally looked different from the open air like it is now. Especially the layer of armor on its body that glowed with metal, and he could clearly see the fine textures on it, which formed a circular pattern. It looks like some kind of mechanical artifact. Under Wendy's various methods, although the other party was very embarrassed, it was still unharmed, exactly the same as the situation in the cave.
As soon as Wu Yun touched his pocket, there were still a few marbles in it, and he reached out and quickly took it out. Hulk, who was standing on the side watching the battle, noticed his actions, and when he found out that the weapon Wu Yun took out was actually a slingshot, he couldn't help frowning, obviously confused by Wu Yun's actions. The AK in his hand is like tickling the giant ant. However, seeing Wendy's methods, he didn't mean to stop Wu Yun.
A marble flew straight out. Neither of the two sides of the fierce battle noticed Wu Yun's actions. Not to mention the soldiers who were watching around.
"Smack!" The silver metal ball made an imperceptible sound as it hit the ant's head, and Wendy immediately noticed the familiar sound, her eyes fixed on the ant's head. Just like Hulk and Wu Yun who stood there after the shot.
Something happened to everyone's surprise, only to see that the seemingly perfect metal armor suddenly fell off a small piece, and the circular pattern of the black metal turned into countless small particles as if it disintegrated in an instant, and they fell off from it one after another, revealing the skin inside, Wendy, who had been prepared, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, only to see her stick head turn, and stabbed into the gap, and firmly inserted into the palm-sized gap.
"Poof~" Wendy's strength was so great that the stick suddenly sank deep into the giant ant's body, and the monster the size of a calf collapsed to the ground without even struggling. At the same time as the giant ant died, something even stranger appeared, the black armor completely disintegrated in an instant, and countless small black balls scattered and splashed in an instant. The balls coalesced into a stream of black metal and escaped into the distance in plain sight.
Wendy pulled her stick from the ant's carcass and slammed it into the stream, which drifted forward on its own, as the thunderous blow seemed to have no effect. The surrounding soldiers also reacted, and opened fire on them with their weapons one after another.
The moving metallic liquid resembled a thin glowing snake, and the soldiers' attacks only added a few blue rays to its body, and it flowed straight towards the hole where the giant ant had come. The soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave were naturally frightened when they saw this strange creature whose attack was completely ineffective, and they all moved away one by one. The stream of metal escaped under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Hulk was the first to react, and he took a few steps forward to the corpse of the giant ant, and he flicked the head of the giant ant with the gun in his hand. It seems that he is already dead. The giant ant looked no different from what it normally saw, and it seemed that the suit of armor had made it invulnerable. Without the blessing of that black fluid, it would be as vulnerable as ever.
"What's that?" Wu Yun shook his head, now that he thought about it, it should have been the same situation in the cave, but the light was too dim to see what happened after they fell off.
At this time, Wu Yun suddenly had a strange feeling, he felt that he was in a huge labyrinth, and in front of him was a small door, he had a strong premonition, this inconspicuous door was the key to unlocking the entire labyrinth, but he didn't have any clue how to open it.
"Third Company Commander~" A soldier behind him shouted to a few people, "The regiment commander asked you to take those two back to the command post quickly." ”
Hulk looked back and saw that it was the herald next to the regimental leader, and he was a little puzzled, but he also felt the need to report what he had seen to Philos.
Wu Yun naturally had no opinion, but Wendy didn't object, which surprised him very much, after all, such an honest obedience to other people's orders was not in the code of conduct of Xiao Lori.
So several people quickly returned to the command post. Philos still calmly observed the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the figures of the people, he immediately greeted them.
"How did you get rid of it?" Philos stared straight at Wendy and asked, he naturally couldn't see Wu Yun's actions from such a distance, and the credit for killing the giant ant was naturally credited to Wendy. And as soon as little Lori saw him, she immediately entered an absent-minded state, is this uniform handsome guy so attractive? Even such a small girl is attracted? Wu Yun walked between the two with malicious eyes.
Hulk saw that Wendy didn't mean to answer, so naturally he wouldn't put his head in such an embarrassing situation, he stepped forward and described everything he saw in detail, and he saw it very clearly. Naturally, the credit for breaking the armor was attributed to the marble that Wu Yun shot.
"Slingshot? this? Philos took a steel ball handed over by Wu Yun and played with it carefully. It doesn't make sense, this hasn't been processed at all? ”
Nonsense... This was found in tires that were pulled out of a scrap pile. How could it have been processed? Wu Yunbelly scolded, but he didn't dare to ignore this important person on the other side like Xiao Lori. And I need his strong support for my own ideas.
"That's just a normal steel ball, and the only thing that is possible is this." He pulled out the bag, revealing a few mosquito coil branches inside, "I think it smells like it." ”
"That's it? How could it be an impact? Philos picked up the steel balls, which smelled of incense. But he still had huge doubts about this ability to break through the armor.
Wu Yun has no way to answer this question, because this is the key question that has been bothering him, ants are afraid of mosquito coils, and there should be no doubt about this. But what exactly is that armor? Why are you afraid of such a tiny dose of odor? And what the hell is that black stream? Wu Yun began to ponder.
He stared blankly at the huge wall of fire in the distance, lost in thought. And from time to time, a few black shadows broke through from inside and rushed towards the city wall. And the soldiers were still shooting frantically under the wall.
This picture is strange, isn't it? Wu Yun was stunned for a moment. I've only been here twice, so why do you think this scene is so familiar? The question flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.
Finally... Finally it all made sense. The originally airtight labyrinth dissipated without a trace in an instant. He was relieved of it at once.
"Commander, did you notice?" Wu Yun looked at Philos unusually firmly. "Is there something wrong with the giant ant's attack?"
"You mean they send out a dozen giant ants to attack every time?" Philos had long noticed the other party's unusual moves, and if the other party had used a large-scale attack, the city walls would have been broken long ago. But the other party never did this, and he could only attribute this fact to the fact that the number of giant ants in armor was insufficient.
"Not bad! They are insufficient in number. After listening to Philos's conclusion, Wu Yun immediately agreed.
"However, it's not that there are not enough giant ants, it's that they don't have enough armor." Wu Yun looked into the distance. "If we had been up close, we might have found out. After each giant ant dies, the armor disintegrates and flees back to the colony, and then arms another one to rush out, which is why they always have more than a dozen on the battlefield. ”
"Go on." Apparently interested in his words, Philos glanced over the battlefield as he spoke, "You seem to have a point, the giant ants are all made up one by one. It's rare to see a group of people coming up at the same time. ”
"Now let's take a look at the characteristics of that armor." Wu Yun showed a confident smile. "It moves autonomously, it swarms, and it's afraid of small doses of mosquito coils."
"This means that the armor was originally composed of small ants!" Wendy shouted out, little Lori had been listening to Wu Yun's explanation, and she had been thinking about this issue for a long time, so she was the first to understand the meaning of Wu Yun's words.
"How... Philos wanted to question his words, but something suddenly occurred to him.
"Black steel! Come here! He shouted so loudly that before the herald could start, Blacksteel came running.
"What does that little ant look like?" Blacksteel blankly repeated what he had seen and heard. When he mentioned the orb he had picked up from the ground, everyone looked at him in amazement.
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?!" Philos, Wu Yun, and Wendy asked in unison.
"Do you speak with your conscience? I'll tell you as soon as I arrive. Black Steel ignored Wuyun Wendy and rushed back at Philos. The latter had to keep silent, Black Steel was right, he mentioned this discovery at the beginning, the question is who would have thought of such a thing.
And Wu Yun and Wendy have a different mentality. If he had said that he had made this discovery, he wouldn't have been confused for so long, and he would probably have discovered the other party's secret a long time ago.
Black Steel was also suspicious after listening to Wu Yun's analysis, he didn't ask questions like Philos, just snatched the bag in Wu Yun's hand, turned around and walked towards the wall. Moments later, a cheer rang out on the wall. Philos and Wu Yun smiled at each other. If it was only a theory before, now the action base of Black Steel is empirical.
"You should hurry up and prepare mosquito coils now." Philos smiled and said to Wu Yun, "Get as many as you can." I will give you all the support you need. ”
This idea has also been foreshadowed for a long time, and many people may have guessed it. However, this design was not conceived by the author in a hot head.
Everyone should know that ants will huddle together to avoid danger, and I once saw an example of a large ant sneaking into a cave with the corpse of an ant. So if the ants of the same race are very different in morphology, I have no doubt that they will use similar means, and of course bulletproof armor is the word of the game. The things borrowed from the game should be seen when destroying the metal walls, iron-eating ants, and an armor pack that will be pasted up, and armor is their compound.
I'm very sure that many people encounter a bunch of iron-eating ants in the early and middle stages of the game, and the main gun, secondary gun, and SE are all floating clouds, and the most cost-effective weapon is the mosquito coil.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the setting of this armor made of iron-eating ants, and I don't know what you think. I hope to leave a message.
