Chapter 57: The Ghost Highway (Part II)
Marching bullet ant colony~!
[Gate of Evolution] One of the three unsolved races during the expansion period, known for devouring metal. Of course, a group that can easily devour metal and devour flesh and carrion is naturally not a problem.
Bullet ant, in fact, the original name is not called bullet ant, but a termite that likes to devour trees, and it is infected by the virus, so it has undergone a mutation, upgrading from devouring trees to devouring metals.
The devouring of metal also made their body surface go through the process from pure white to pitch black, and as the metal in the body decomposed, their skin began to become as hard as steel.
Someone once said presumptuously: "It is easier to pinch you to death than to pinch an ant to death." ”
In fact, in front of the marching bullet ants, trying to pinch a marching ant the size of a pistol bullet to death will definitely not be as simple as the words say-
Seeing Ye Feng's sudden realization, Hell couldn't help but ask, "Boss, did you think of something?" ”
"Well, an ant comes to mind." Ye Feng thought of the biochemical notes of the data flow genius, and only then did he dare to confirm it.
"What ants?" Hell asked.
Ye Feng: "Bullet ants, their individuals, such as the size of a 50 pistol bullet, whether they are soldier ants or worker ants, they all grow into well-developed palates, and the crushing power is amazing. Moreover, bullet ants exist in the form of marching, when there is enough food in a certain place, they will stay for a while, until the food in this place is exhausted, they will continue to march. ”
"Boss, you mean that. The reason why this highway is so silent. It's because of bullet ants. ”
Ye Feng nodded. Immediately corrected Hell again, saying, "No, not because of the bullet ants, but because of the bullet ant colony, when you see them, they will most likely look like a huge black carpet covering at least five kilometers in a radius. ”
Bang~!
Bang~!
Bang~!
Lift the air and release the gun. This is used by the post-apocalyptic convoy to signal the danger of approaching enemies, and each shot represents a level of danger.
"At eleven o'clock, I found a black python approaching."
"At six o'clock, there is also one."
"Nine o'clock, too."
The information continued to resound in the internal communication channel of the apocalyptic convoy, and when I looked at one of the directions reported by the intelligence, I saw a black python with a total length of about thirty meters, winding its huge S-shaped snake body, and was rapidly swimming away.
Ye Feng frowned slightly, this giant python swam over. The feeling for him is a little pinched. He had the illusion that he was not seeing a giant python, but another mutated creature that couldn't be explained.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Feng to finally see the true face of the black python as it gradually approached.
It wasn't a black python at all, it was just a python form made up of countless bullet ants.
"Try firing two rockets?"
The people in the post-apocalyptic convoy were already shocked, and the psychological impact of the marching bullet ants on them was too huge.
Who would have thought that an ant the size of a thumb, after forming a giant python form, would actually have the ability to catch up with the apocalyptic convoy, which has to make people wonder how the bullet ant did it.
After issuing the rocket order, Ye Feng immediately picked up the telescope and looked at one of the black giant pythons, and through the optical magnification of the telescope, he suddenly saw a scene that made him tremble.
On the body of the marching bullet ants, he saw a pair of rapidly vibrating wings, and in an instant, he understood why these bullet ants could form a giant python form and swim like a giant python.
Sou~!
Sou~!
Two RPG rockets roared out and fired at the two pythons.
However, a scene that shocked everyone in the post-apocalyptic convoy appeared: just as the rocket was about to hit the head of the 'black python', the head of the snake was like an ephemeral flower, and it scattered in all directions. Even if he just saw, the rocket got into the snake's head.
What is even more surprising is that the black python actually made a rocket perform in its belly, and finally flew out of its tail.
"I'll go, is this bullet ant a sperm?" Hell was really surprised, he had never seen this mutated creature in the virtual world, with such agility and outstanding scenes, that it could easily avoid rocket attacks.
"Speed up your convoy and try to avoid fighting with marching ants." Ye Feng put down the binoculars, sat back in the co-pilot, and said slowly. At the same time, in his mind, he thought of several possibilities for the players of the first base to lose contact.
It's possible that they were wiped out by the marching ants on their way to Base Nine.
It's also possible that they're still in Base One, enslaved by NPCs.
Or, like the players at Base 4, who are tragically slaughtered.
Ten minutes after the apocalyptic convoy picked up speed, the three chasing 'black pythons' gave up, and in front of the human vehicles, their flight speed was obviously insufficient.
At the same time that everyone in the post-apocalyptic convoy rushed to the first base, in a county town around the first base, a team of 3,000 players was taking a short break.
"The highway can't be walked, and those bullet ants won't let us go." Around a topographic map spread out, several leading players of the first base were constantly discussing.
"Now that the radio station has been destroyed, it is impossible to contact the ninth base, if only at this moment, they can send support~!" A leading player with uncut hair for three months grabbed his hair and said.
"Don't put your expectations in others, we can only rely on ourselves." This was uttered by a bearded young man with resolute black eyes, who was the leader of this team of players.
"The highway can't be crossed, so we can only take the national highway, but to take the national highway, we have to spend another day, and now it is the sixth day of the Evolution Gate, and it will take two days to reach the ninth base, and we will be behind in this expansion."
"If you can get to Base 9 in two days, that's right." As the scumbag youth spoke, he pulled out the base's combat power ranking, and at the moment, in the entire war zone, only four bases were left on the list.
The ninth base is firmly at the top of the list, with a combat power of 21,500 points.
"The reason why the battle at the ninth base has soared from more than 3,000 points at the beginning to more than 20,000 points now, players who want to come to several surrounding bases have successfully arrived at the ninth base."
"I haven't figured it out, why do the players in the surrounding bases want to run to the ninth base and stay in their own bases, isn't it?" The long-haired young man was puzzled.
"First, because of the blood mist, he has been constantly appearing in the world channel since the beginning of the global apostle profession, and with the two domain skills he has created, almost every player knows about his existence."
"The second and ninth bases are the bases created by the Blood Mist themselves, in the base, you can strengthen your weapons, you can participate in all aspects of primary training, fighting, shooting, survival, and so on. These are not available at the system base, so even we have to risk our lives to rush to the ninth base. ”
"Then you can only take the national highway."
