Chapter 100: The Secret Weapon
Under the guidance of the cart and Vivien, everyone began to retreat steadily, and then the people who followed the car naturally noticed the conspicuous metal box and the strange two-seater car.
The pattern of this box... It looks like Norton's family crest. Renault was well-informed and immediately discovered the origin of the other party, but he was still not sure. Look at Rotal beside him. After all, this is a giant ant cave, everyone is silently hurrying, and no one dares to speak casually.
The beautiful man who was a mechanic didn't speak, just nodded silently, as a mechanic, it was impossible not to know the Norton family. Together with the Wilson family, it is known as the two giants of the machinist field. In Wilson's case, it is not only a group with a large number of professional mechanics, but also the owner of more than half of the repair shops and renovation factories in the mainland, and according to the grapevine, they probably also have underground tank factories, but this has not been confirmed.
On the contrary, the Norton family has almost no open industry, basically focusing on training mechanics to participate in battles, and the only mechanic in the entire continent with an S-rank hunter license is the eldest son of their family, Norton Maier.
Although he disappeared for many years for unknown reasons, it did not affect his sacred status in the eyes of most mechanics at all, and among the many legendary deeds of Maier, the mechanics are most talked about for Maier's defeat of the most wanted criminal at the time, Crazy Bird, the chief killer of the Cold-Blooded Party, in a heads-up situation. You must know that the other side is a top warrior who is famous for land warfare.
The cause of this is that Maia's team is on a wanted mission, and after they try their best to break into the Cold-Blooded base, they start a tough battle, and the opponent sets a trap to lure Meyer's team out of the tank. Then Asuka suddenly appeared, and he struck all the members except Maia with his powerful individual ability.
Just as the whole regiment was about to be destroyed, something amazing happened, the battle between the two was unknown, and the final result was that Asuka was sent to prison with five flowers. Neither party discussed much about the inside story of that fight. But the results themselves speak for themselves.
In the past, the soldiers on the team tended to make fun of other people's land combat abilities, but after Maier's battle, the Mechanic was no longer among the targets of their taunts. This special treatment is also the main reason why many mechanics always remember him.
Renaud got the other party's affirmation, his brows furrowed, as an A-class hunter, he naturally knew Maiya's deeds, but this has been a matter of many years, he can be sure that there will be no such legendary character in this group.
Reynolds looked at the intricately constructed shell, though he didn't quite understand what it really did. It was still easy for him to be sure that the box was not just a lighting tool.
And the one who can own this box will not be ordinary people. And the equipment with the family crest is generally an extremely important item in the family. It is generally in the hands of important people in the family. But there have been no decent talents in Norton's family over the years, and now there is only one second son who is out on the outside.
Renaud only knew that such a person was there, and he couldn't even remember the name. The most fundamental reason is that the unsuccessful kid has only mixed up with a B-grade photo until now. Although it is not easy to become a B-rank hunter, it is only for hunters from civilian backgrounds, but for a long-established mechanic family like Norton, this achievement can only be regarded as a beginner at best.
Rotal, for example, is a self-taught mechanic in civilian status, and it only took him about three years to reach the B-rank position. Of course, this is thanks to his talent and hard work. The young man is still very good overall.
Rotal pondered the same question, but both realized that this was not the time to discuss the topic.
Wendy leads them into the depression that serves as a giant ant cemetery. The crowd let out a long sigh of relief. Reaching the outside world from the dark cavern is like a new lease of life.
"What is this place?" Claire asked Wu Yun. He really couldn't answer that question. And Wendy was also at a loss. Claire didn't dwell too much.
Everyone has come out, can they not go back? She climbed up the dirt hill behind her in a few leaps, and Renault and Qatar followed suit, not to be outdone. The team leader and the informant were still standing still.
"Thank you for today's events, you can just call me Tiger in the future." After this bizarre trip, the team leader obviously had a great change in his attitude towards the two. Wu Yun nodded hurriedly.
"Me too... Thank you.. The middle-aged uncle with the beard obviously didn't like to talk, "You can call me Beard in the future." ”
The two names were easy to remember, and he smiled kindly at each other.
"Tiger, what do you think is appropriate for us to do now?" Wu Yun took the initiative to ask.
"The best thing to do now is to confirm the direction and return to McGee." The team leader, Tiger, looked at the sun in the sky, "McGee should probably be in this direction... As he spoke, he pointed into the distance, and the tiger's face changed suddenly, "How come?" Don't... ”
Wu Yun and Wendy naturally noticed his strange expression, the two looked in the direction of his finger, the distant skyline was shrouded in a cloud of black smoke, several people were stunned, Wendy jumped out of the car and ran to the top of the mountain, and everyone immediately understood and followed.
The hill wasn't high, and they could easily climb to the top, and the three members of Claire's group stood there dumbfounded, staring in the direction of McGee, who was still far away, and McGee looked about the size of a matchbox, and a thick line of fire appeared outside its gate. Beyond the line of fire are ant colonies that roam the mountains. That amount is completely incalculable. Countless bright spots twinkled on the city walls, and the faint sound of gunfire and earth shaking could be faintly heard.
"Could this be the giant ant that rushed out before?" Drops of sweat oozed from the tiger's swarthy forehead. "Can our regiment withstand it?"
"Have you ever seen anything like this?" Renault muttered, a hint of despair in his eyes. He had never heard of a monster attacking a city on such a scale, let alone seen it. It's hard to imagine that monsters can spontaneously assemble in such a formation.
"I haven't even seen you... Claire didn't finish his words, but the rest of the words were already equivalent to saying them. Renault is quite old in the hunters' ranks. He hadn't seen it before, which meant it was extremely rare.
"Go back now!" Renault gritted his teeth fiercely, if he hadn't participated in the war at this time, then the name of the red thunderbolt would no longer exist. Claire and Rotal exchanged glances, apparently endorsing the captain's decision.
"You don't even have a chariot?" Wu Yun hurriedly stopped, after all, he was a newcomer to McGee and didn't have much affection, if Ma Duo was surrounded, he would not hesitate to join the battle.
"Look~" Claire pointed down the hill, where several motorcycles were lying in all directions. "That's enough."
"No! Have you forgotten each other's acid? Isn't it looking for death with an unprotected motorcycle? Wu Yun immediately objected, "Everyone must discuss a safe method, and we can't just send them to death." ”
Although Renault didn't take this guy with no combat power in his eyes at all, he had to admit that this kid's words were right.
Wu Yun remembered an important thing, originally this experiment was not very important to him, but the current situation seems that it must be confirmed now.
"I'm going to do something, you keep an eye on them, don't let them go alone." He whispered to the squad leader, Tiger. The latter's face turned pale and he nodded slightly.
Wu Yun rushed back to the giant ant cave as fast as he could**, and groups of milky white ants were busy coming in and out.
He untied the bracelet on his hand, the one Aya had made with mosquito coils, and he carefully untied and straightened it, and it was about a meter long. He crouched down and blocked the purple lines squarely at the anthill door.
He thought of this question because of the hints given to him by marbles. If his speculation is valid, the mosquito coil is a secret weapon to restrain the giant ants. It has benefits that are incomparable to other shooting weapons, and with its help, the number of ant colonies is no longer the biggest concern.
At this time, what he expected happened, all the milky white ants were far away from the purple thin line, and the inner ones immediately returned to the hole, and the outside ones fled in all directions, and it seemed that the mosquito coils were really effective against the ants!
