Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 37 The Queen Ant

The day after the fighting, workers completed the cleaning of the groundwater station. More than 200 termite carcasses were moved to the ground and piled up into small hills.

The corpse merchant brought in three large trucks and carried the corpse away. The third squad also had more than a hundred gold coins in their official accounts.

Aaron returned to the camp with the news that Li Rou's injury was stable, and left the other female team member in the hospital to take care of her.

Chen Xing led the workers down to the generator room, dug up the collapsed passage, and then let Yeyang Bailiu stay outside and continue to explore the termite nest.

Due to the last battle, the corridor was muddy and full of muddy water, mixed with white slurry and broken insect shells. Wearing tall rubber boots and a hooded waterproof cloak, Chen Xing went down the corridor that passed up and down, and then got into the fork in the road on the other side.

He came down this time, and the speed was obviously a lot faster. And along the way, no trace of termites was found. As he expected, all the termites that could fight had already rushed out.

Compared to the corridor leading to the storeroom, this side is much drier. The mud on the walls of the cave was only faintly damp and rough to the touch, so he took off his cloak and threw it aside.

The cloak affects the movement, and he wears it so that the ammunition is not damp. Since there is no water here, there is no need for it.

This road seems to be very long, and Chen Xing has walked for seven or eight minutes, and he has not yet reached the end.

"Twitter......"

Suddenly, several termites half a meter tall and half-meter-tall between adults and larvae appeared in front of them. Under the white light, the tentacles of the head swayed, as if sensing the presence of the intruder, they let out a timid hiss, slowly moved their huge abdomen, and fled towards the cave.

Chen Xing would let them run, and immediately swept over with a shuttle of bullets. These termites seem to be fragile and kill with a single bullet.

Scanning their corpses with a black watch, several lines of bright green messages immediately scrolled from the bottom of the screen.

[Metamorphosis termite worker ant (common)]

[Vitality: 0/3, Dead]

[Innate ability: None]

[Virus Possible: None]

A little further on, the road becomes very open, with a diameter of at least five or six meters, and you can drive container trucks.

On both sides of the corridor, rooms appeared. Looking inside, there was a pile of white bones, all of which were the corpses of creatures that had been eaten up. There are the living dead, ghouls, and all kinds of mutated insects. Termites have a wide range of recipes, and as long as there is protein, they can be digested.

"Intruder ......"

"Leave ......"

"Dead ......"

As he walked, Chen Xing suddenly heard a small sound.

He was startled, crouched down, held a gun, flashlight shining everywhere, and did not dare to move forward.

"Forward ......"

"Death ......"

The voice loomed, like a whisper in the ear.

Chen Xing stepped back and listened carefully, but he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.

It's like ......

Straight to the mind!

"Intruder...... Leave...... Die...... Leave...... Dead ......"

Chen Xing maintained a constant speed and slowly retreated. But listening to it, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a trace of tremor hidden in that voice.

That's right!

The other party seemed to be afraid of him, and the voice that went straight to the heart was mixed with panic and uneasiness. He couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Intruder, leave, die, leave, die......"

After waiting for a while, the voice became rapid, and the uneasiness became more and more obvious. At this time, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that he had heard somewhere that the descendants of social insects possess the ability of telepathy.

He shifted his steps and walked cautiously forward. From the time he came in, he had not encountered even the slightest resistance. His sense of danger also tells him that it's safe.

On both sides of the corridor, more rooms appeared. Looking inside, they were all white eggs, oval-shaped, the size of a basketball. When the beam shone through, something seemed to squirm inside.

Chen Xing took out a burning grenade, pulled open the buckle, and threw it in.

"Boom!"

The firelight lit up the room. Under the high temperature, the eggs continue to burst. Unformed termite larvae, struggling and rolling in the viscous liquid.

"No!" In my head, a scream suddenly sounded.

"Please, leave, woo-woo...... Please, leave, woo woo woo ......"

Immediately afterward, the voice turned to pleading, accompanied by bursts of low sobs. Distinguish carefully, it turned out to be a woman's voice, and it looked very childish.

A strong curiosity drove Chen Xing to move on. What is the legendary termite queen like?

After continuing to walk for more than 20 meters, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and it was a huge underground space. The upper top is spherical and more than ten meters high.

The ground was littered with egg-sized eggs. Three or two in a pile, emitting a bright white shimmer.

"Click!"

Chen Xing accidentally stepped on the insect eggs, making a crisp sound.

"No...... Don't hurt us...... Please...... Get out of here......"

The voice became clearer, as if a girl in her twenties and eight-year-olds was begging for him.

He stopped, stood next to a pile of eggs, lifted his foot, and slowly pressed down.

"No ......"

"Click!"

"Don't!" With a crisp sound, the voice became high-pitched and mournful, filled with endless pain.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and fired his flashlight back and forth, trying to find the source of the sound.

Finally, in a corner of the underground space, he saw a huge figure.

At first glance, Chen Xing was startled, took several steps back one after another, and trampled on the insect eggs on the ground. It was a very big, container-truck-like bug.

The front end of its body, covered with a bright yellow carapace. The second half of the section is white, with a bulging belly. Under the illumination of the flashlight, it appears translucent milky white, constantly undulating, as if breathing. And under it, it is covered with tiny knotted feet. At a glance, there are at least seventy or eighty pairs.

It seems to be scared, with its head buried in the corner, and White Flower's belly facing outward.

Chen Xing picked up the gun, aimed at the milky white worm's belly, and tentatively fired a shuttle of bullets.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tsk!"

With a flash of fire, three bullets burrowed into the worm's belly one after another, spewing out a white slurry. The queen threw her head up sharply and let out a terrible insect chirp.

At the same time, Chen Xing's mind erupted with a painful wail.

"Ahh "It hurts...... It hurts! "Woo woo woo ......"

Gradually, the wailing turned into a low cry, which was touching.

"Da Da Da!"

Perhaps it was the evil taste in his heart, or perhaps it was the instinct of the species that controlled other life, Chen Xing fired a second bullet.

"Puff puff!" Three high-temperature and scorching warheads swirled into the belly of the worm.

"Tsk!" "It hurts, it hurts, don't hurt me, please!"

"Can you speak?" Chen Xing held the gun, aimed at the belly of the worm, and asked slowly.

"Woo woo woo ......" "Da da da!" "Ahhh "Answer me!" Chen Xing ordered. There was a deep threat in the deep voice.

"I, I'll talk, I, I'm human, no, don't bully me......"

Mankind?

Chen Xing was still in doubt, when he saw the termite queen swinging her dense knotted feet, moving her huge body, and turning around.

A poignant and fair face appeared in his sight.

He was stunned, his eyes widened like brass bells, and he almost didn't hold the assault rifle in his hand. The scene in front of him was so unbelievable that it was completely beyond his cognition.

The queen ant, no...... Maybe you can't call it a queen.

I saw that in the middle of several sickle-shaped knots, surrounded by heavy carapaces, it turned out to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the flower season.

She frowned, her teeth clenched, and she seemed to be enduring great suffering, which could not help but make people feel pity. A small mouth, as red as cinnabar, as if it was about to drip blood. The milky white skin, like translucent white jade, is crystal clear.

The shoulders are round and smooth, but the arms are backwards, buried in the body of the worm.

The fullness on the chest, like fresh bamboo shoots after the rain, stands tall and crisp, making people eager to lean over and take a bite.

The lower trunks are buried in the body of the worm.

No, more precisely, in the body of an insect. It's all one and inseparable. Half-human, half-worm, but there is an indescribable beauty, both cruel and beautiful.

"You...... Who are you? Chen Xing squirmed his mouth, swallowed hard, and asked.

"I ...... I'm Suna......" The girl's voice sounded in her head.

"What are you?" Chen Xing asked.

"I ...... I don't know......" Suna said timidly.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

"No, don't hurt me......" Suna shrank back, several scythes blocking her body. Like a girl curled up in a corner, covering her chest with her arms.

"Answer my question, and I won't hurt you." Chen Xing said. Try to slow down your tone and appear friendly.

"Now, sir...... What time is it? Suna didn't answer, but asked another question.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xing asked.

"Time, I mean time." Suna added.

Chen Xing looked at the black watch and reported the time, "DR2612-6-17." ”

"Ah......" Suna let out an exclamation and muttered to herself, "It's been six years...... It's been six years......"

"What six years?" Chen Xing accentuated his voice.

"I ...... Six years ago, I went to town with my mom and ...... They caught it and became a ...... Woowoo...... It became like this...... It hurts, every time I give birth to a baby, it hurts......" Suna said distractedly, leaving two lines of tears.

"What got you caught in?" Chen Xing aimed his gun at Suna's belly, which was like a large oil tank, and asked in a warning tone.

"No, don't hit me in the stomach, it hurts, it hurts, don't ...... Woo woo woo ......" Suna swung her feet and moved her massive body to bury her head in the corner. It's like an ostrich that sticks its head in the sand when it encounters danger. Leave the body outside and let the mermaid flesh.

"Answer my question." Chen Xing ordered.

"Queen, a termite queen who is dying. It swallowed me in my stomach, and when I woke up again, it was like this, woo-woo-woo......" Suna replied as she cried.

Then, Chen Xing asked a few more questions, such as how she had spent all these years, what she ate, and why she was here. She answered them all.

"Then ......" Finally, Chen Xing faced Suna and said lightly, "Give me a reason not to kill you." ”
