Chapter 37: Mutant Creatures 2 (Thanks to the melon-eating people who don't know the truth, and jklmzxc's reward)
Annan Haifanggang Shelter, as an alarm sounded, all the troops began to be in today's second-level combat readiness, guns did not leave their hands, and the number of troops was fixed.
And the general called a group of commanders and staff officers to a meeting,
"Command! The troops were put on combat readiness for the second level, patrolling around the shelter and an infantry company was dispatched to cooperate with intelligence officers to investigate the attack,"
"Yes!"
Then, everyone got into action
Here, a gate next to the shelter opened, and three infantry chariots drove out, followed by two troop carriers full of personnel, and then formed on the road, two troop carriers were in the middle, and three infantry chariots were in the middle position, one in front and one in the back, one in the middle,
After arriving at the accident site, all the personnel quickly began to guard, the infantry chariot in the middle drove in, and then, two researchers wearing white protection walked out of the infantry chariot, and after collecting the scene sample, they returned to the car, ready to return, and the sappers in the company began to erect the reinforcement signal tower, because this place is not too far from the shelter, although conventional communication is no longer available, but after the erection of the signal enhancement tower, this distance can still keep communication with the shelter unimpeded,
As the equipment was commissioned, it was quickly connected to the shelter, and then the situation was reported, and it was stated that a part of the personnel would be sent to escort the researchers back first, and let the shelter send someone there.
On the other hand, in the nest, the movement of more than 100 people also alarmed this group of ants, and the ants who were on guard outside came back to exchange information with the queen ant, indicating that there was a lot of food like before, and then the queen ant began to release pheromones, and all the ants began to act.
Here, the company sent a platoon of troops to escort the researchers back to the shelter, and not long after the team left, the ground around the temporary stronghold began to shake, and the company commander also felt the movement, and asked what was going on while leaving the stronghold, while looking around, before his subordinates could report, there was an alarm above the surrounding guard towers, and the company commander immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle, and at the same time let the signal corps guard the signal tower to ensure communication with the shelter,
As the black torrent approached in the distance, the company commander finally found out that these black torrents were huge ants, and the company commander looked at these big ants and immediately shouted: "Everyone is ready for battle, fire immediately after approaching the range, the infantry chariot will drive me to the front, form a bunker, and the chariot cannon will send me out, and protect the truck, the communication squad, and report the situation on our side to the shelter." ”
"Yes!"
Subsequently, the infantry chariot began to fire the cannon, only to see the black ant colony in the distance under the blow of the cannon, and constantly there were ants being hit into pieces, but because there were only two infantry chariots, and the most powerful was only the vehicle-mounted cannon, so this could not stop the approach of the ant colony, as the ant colony entered the range of the rifle, the soldiers began to shoot, but the company commander saw in the telescope that the shooting effect of the rifle was not ideal, and some bullets were directly ejected after hitting the carapace because of the angle, and after hitting the ants head-on, It often takes more than a dozen rounds to kill the ants, but as the ant colony approached, the casualties of the ants began to rise, and now as long as the ants are hit, then five or six rounds can take away an ant, but the company commander is not optimistic in his heart, because the carapace of this group of ants is too hard, and only those with more than the power of a rifle can cause damage to the ants,
Subsequently, the company commander saw that the ant colony was getting closer and closer, and knew that he could not resist it, so he immediately ordered to start retreating, everyone boarded the truck and began to evacuate, and the two infantry chariots began to break off, and then, after losing a few people, the company successfully broke away from the battle, and the ant colony slowly retreated after pursuing a certain distance.
After the company commander returned to the shelter, he reported the specific situation to the general, and after listening to it, the general asked the company commander to go back to rest first, and there might be a battle later.
After the company commander left, the general came to the research institute and found the researchers inside to inquire about the situation, the researchers have been compared during this period of time, and have determined that these ant genes show that they are ordinary ants on the earth, but in the collected ant body fluid samples, dead spores were found, and there are slight differences with the spores that emit radiation outside, and it is initially inferred that these ants may be because of these spores caused gigantic, and then the general handed over the severed limbs of the intercepted ants to the researchers, Let it study why the ant's carapace is so hard.
And in the ant nest in the woods, a large number of ants gathered on the edge of the queen ant, because of the solar storm, the spores have undergone wonderful changes, and the ants have become a symbiotic relationship, supporting the structure required for the giant ants in the ant's body, and when the number increases, the wisdom of the colony begins to increase, this time because of the death of many ants, the queen ant feels uneasy, and feels that these foods are a threat, in order to ensure the safety of the population, all these foods need to be killed, and then, The colony began to transport organic and inorganic matter to the queen, and the queen began to lay eggs, all of which were soldier ants, while a small number of worker ants began to search for nests for these food along the route of the previous military retreat.
A few days later, after continuous egg laying in the ant nest, many soldier ants have been hatched, and on the other side, the worker ants have found the shelter in Haifanggang, but because the wall inside the shelter has been reinforced, these worker ants cannot enter it.
And in the past few days, the shelter is not very optimistic, and the people have heard about these giant ants, so under the impetus of people with a heart, the news that a military is invincible to mutant creatures and is ready to abandon the shelter and flee began to spread.
And the troops are also waiting in order to find a way to deal with these ants, after all, their own supplies are limited, and the ammunition reserves are not very sufficient, so when they don't find the queen of this ant colony, they won't act rashly.
In this way, the situation strangely calmed down, and both sides were dragging their feet.
In the research institute, the general took this report, which said that after research, it was found that a variety of metal minerals were incorporated into the shell of the surface of the ant's limbs, the strength was equivalent to 3 mm of steel plates, and the top of the limbs had a very sharp side.
The general gasped when he saw this result, now the world itself is becoming more and more incomprehensible, ordinary ants can grow so big, can they still be so hard, does human beings really have a future?
Subsequently, the general began to prepare for war with all his might, and it was difficult to sleep with such a neighbor next to him, and then the general ordered to start producing weapons and ammunition with all his might, especially large-caliber cannon bullets and artillery ammunition.
In the following days, under the condition of full production, it was finally ready to start a decisive battle with the ants,
Subsequently, the general ordered all the other combatants to be dispatched except for a part of the remaining personnel, and as the army opened, the creatures on the queen's side instinctively sensed the danger and began to gather all the ants back, and then sent the worker ants to investigate,
When the troops reached the initial low point of the accident, the ants also rushed over like a tide, and immediately the fire began to fire, and the rear artillery directly began to fire, bursting in the ant colony, and a group of ants were blown up, but the ants were not vegetarian anymore, and the male ants who could fly began to rush from the air, and in a miserable scream, the male ants were all annihilated,
With the extension of the artillery fire, the ants began to be weak, and the queen ant also felt that her children were killed and injured heavily, and began to be impatient, wanting to escape from this place, but because of the mutation, the queen ant has now become very large, and because of the need to lay eggs, the queen ant moves very slowly, so the queen ant began to call the ants to withdraw to protect themselves, and by the way, carry themselves to open this place, but after the general saw that the ant colony began to retreat, he guessed that the queen ant might have to run, so in order to prevent future troubles, The general began to get down, and everyone began to pursue.
After several hours of high-intensity fighting, the ant colony was finally wiped out, but the army itself also suffered a lot of losses, after the queen ant saw that there was no hope of escaping, she began to break the net, and began to rush forward without her life, and finally took away a lot of people, but the general felt that it was worth it, after all, if you give the queen time to grow, then it is not so easy to destroy it later, and then, the general ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, and at the same time notified the shelter to send some more trucks over, ready to bring back the corpses of these ants, The ant shells were a good thing, and the general rode back to the shelter.
