Xia Yan put the knife back into its sheath as she spoke, turned around and sat down at the left hole, raised her hands back, stretched her legs out, and blocked half of the hole in an awkward posture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On the other side, Zode was still scolding, and Lu Pingchuan was hesitating whether to shoot down the two marching ants first to make him change to a slightly more comfortable posture, but in the next second, a large number of red light spots that quickly appeared in the hole on the left side dispelled his thoughts-countless red lights rushed towards Xia Yan like a tide, instantly turning her into a glowing zongzi, and she couldn't move like Zode.

"Don't get distracted, the 'Queen' is about to come out!" After Xia Yan had completely lost her mobility, more than a dozen marching ants that had not joined the "zongzi" were scattered and crawled out from the gap at the entrance of the cave, and surrounded Lu Pingchuan unhurriedly. Lu Pingchuan finally understood the intention of Xia Yan's roundabout tactics at this time: there were too many marching ants and worker ants, and the queen ants were always in the center of the colony, so they could only consume their numbers by sacrificing their numbers to create conditions for teammates to approach the queen ants. Otherwise, with the equipment and skills they have at hand, it is impossible to outperform the extremely agile marching ants in the confined cave.

"Attention, it's coming!" Lu Pingchuan was still concentrating on dealing with the dozen or so marching ants that surrounded him, and Xia Yan issued a warning again. Lu Pingchuan stabbed down four or five marching ants with great difficulty, and took a moment to glance at the hole on the left, but suddenly felt that his scalp was about to explode - the cave behind Xia Yan was almost full of flickering red light emitted by the marching ant colony, and a few seconds later, the still huge number of ant colonies surrounded a giant mechanical ant whose body was more than ten times larger than other marching ants and poured out, and after the ant colony came out of the hole, it immediately spread out on the ceiling above the entire clearing, like a strange constellation of red evil moons.

“…… Leave the rest alone, find a way to deal with the Queen! The number of queen ants' escort team obviously exceeded Xia Yan's expectations, but at this moment, she could no longer propose modifications to the tactics of the fait accompli. As soon as Lu Pingchuan glanced at the queen ant distractedly, his left foot was tightly entangled by two marching ants that were secretly approaching, and his movements immediately froze, and at this moment, more marching ants had fallen directly from the ceiling and smashed at Lu Pingchuan with their bodies.

At this time, Lu Pingchuan was simply bitter in his heart - while wielding a baton and flint gun to resist the entanglement of the marching ants, he also had to find a way to drag his entangled left foot and try to get close to the direction where the queen ants were. But with every step he took, almost simultaneously one or two marching ants came up from all directions. In less than a few seconds, the marching ants hanging from the waist down were already in a continuous patch, and those ant colonies not only tightly restrained his body movements with their tentacles, but also knew how to use their tentacles to connect with their tentacles in pairs, directly connecting the individuals who acted alone into a large metal net that could not be shaken off.

After a few steps, Lu Pingchuan's right hand holding the electric baton had been tied to his side by the marching ants, and Lu Pingchuan, who was still able to move with his left hand, gritted his teeth and lowered his heart, raised the flint gun in his hand and fired directly at the queen ant, hoping to shoot the queen ant down. However, the last effort of the trapped beast was easily defused by the ant colony - almost at the same time as the gun rang out, four or five worker ants closest to the queen suddenly jumped towards the muzzle of the gun in unison, and used their bodies to block the bullets aimed at the queen ants.

missed a shot, but Lu Pingchuan no longer had the strength to change the bullet. More and more marching ants poured into his body and limbs in layers, and finally crushed him to the ground - Lu Pingchuan was finally tied to the ground by the marching ants in a four-limbed posture, and from a distance, it looked like a small arched bridge decorated with red lights.

"Hell yes! How is it again! Xia Yan, who was still maintaining the posture of "zongzi" on the side, finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and scolded in the cage formed by the ant colony.

After lying on his stomach for more than ten minutes in the embarrassed posture of "tiger landing style", Lu Pingchuan tried to twist his body and found that the ant colony did not move at all. The soreness and numbness from the muscles in his waist gradually spread, and Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but ask Xia Yan out loud: "How long are we going to be trapped like this?" ”

“…… The staff here comes in every two hours to clear the room, and based on the time we came in, it's about an hour and a half...... "What? I'm the next Olympics! Xia Yan's answer made Zod angry again, and a series of foul words mixed with Chinese, English and Russian suddenly echoed in the cave. Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Zode's plight - among the three, he sat on his stomach with Xia Yan, but Zuode was under Xia Yan's command and was tied to the entrance of the hole in a "big font", thinking that among the three, his posture was the most uncomfortable.

Facing the three people in the clearing, who had completely lost their mobility, the marching ants did not make any further movements. Both the queen ants and the undamaged worker ants have retreated back into the depths of the burrow. After fighting for so long, Lu Pingchuan finally had time to take a good look at these strange robots that had brought themselves into close contact with the cave floor.

All of the marching ants surrounding their bodies remained intact, the red lights on their backs changing from the all-red state of attack to a flickering standby state - they were miniature robots consisting of three bendable circular main torsos and six curved tentacles, which at first glance did look like imitations of large ants. However, a closer look reveals that the ends of each tentacle have a suction-like structure that allows them to move freely on ceilings and walls, or they can be combined in pairs to bind each other into a single unit, trapping larger targets in them.

As the soreness in his waist became more and more obvious, Lu Pingchuan silently inhaled and saved his strength, and suddenly kicked his leg to try if he could break some gaps in the encirclement. Unexpectedly, the tentacles of the marching ants are all retractable, and if they don't move, all the ant colonies on their bodies activate the attack state again, and they all tighten their tentacles - the ant cage, which originally had some room for movement, is now tightened to the point that it is simply breathtaking, and the luxury of changing postures to loosen the muscles and bones is even more unthinkable.

"It's useless, don't waste your strength, the more you struggle, the tighter they tighten." Zode was tired of scolding, and comforted Lu Pingchuan weakly, "Fortunately, they are strong enough, you don't have to rely on your body to support them, and it doesn't matter if you transfer all the weight to them...... If I had been able to break free with my strength, I would have figured out a different position. ”

Zode's words were more convincing than any explanation, and Lu Pingchuan had no choice but to lie down obediently and put his belly close to the ant cage to reduce the burden on the muscles of his lower back and limbs. After a few more minutes of silence between the three of them, Zod couldn't help but ask again, "How long will it be before someone comes to clear the field?" ”

"About an hour and twenty minutes to go." Lu Pingchuan, the only one of the three who could still see the position of the dial of the system, replied, and in the dark underground cave, Zode's weak wail faintly sounded.
