"The plan to cross the river by water can be ruled out first, we just came back from the river, so you haven't heard from it yet. The fish in the river have also mutated and are covered in hard scale armor that is difficult for a bullet to damage. So we only need to consider the remaining two plans. Long Hao first rejected Xue Qinghan's first plan, Long Hao had already had close contact with those two strange fish before. They took the initiative to jump to the shore, and Long Hao and the others were still helpless against them, let alone take the initiative to go into the water?

With such a wide river, even in this small area, there are tens of thousands of fish. As far as their people and equipment want to cross the river by waterway, it is estimated that it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

After learning the news that the fish had also mutated, Xue Qinghan's expression was stunned, but he quickly recovered. After all, he had already prepared for the worst: "Since this method does not work, then we will have to consider the second and third options." Personally, I am more optimistic about the second plan, and now we are not only trying to establish contact with the security zone through various means, but the troops stationed in the security zone should also be contacting the survivors in various places through various means. It was already evening, and so many of us would not have been able to reach the safe zone before dark if we had chosen to make it on foot, and the jungle terrain was not conducive to the advance of large troops. Coupled with the obstruction of the view in the jungle environment, it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts, so I suggest that we stay where we are and wait for the army to reply. Or we can rely on the cover of the truck to survive tonight and find another way out after dawn tomorrow. ”

After everyone listened, they all started to think, and Long Hao also began to think about the plan proposed by Xue Qinghan. There is no doubt that the two plans proposed by Xue Qinghan are the most feasible at present, and considering that they have a lot of people after all. With the few hundred remaining people who still have combat effectiveness, it is difficult to do everything, and it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out due to unknown dangers when traveling on foot, and Long Hao's heart has slowly begun to lean towards the second plan proposed by Xue Qinghan, to establish a position in the same place. Arm in all directions, and then wait for the rescue of the army.

"No, we can't stay here!" Just as Long Hao was about to announce the order to deploy in place, there was an opposing voice in the team. Everyone followed the reputation, and the one who opened his mouth was Lin Xuan, who did not open his mouth, and even the test report was transferred to Long Hao through Zhang Yu.

Suddenly stared at by so many people, even Lin Xuan, who was a strong woman, felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of the problem she was worried about, she still straightened her waist and looked ahead, "Everyone should know that I study biology and know more about all kinds of animals and plants. As you know, I think the two bridges, including the two bridges we haven't been to look at, were destroyed by formic acid. Ants are a creature with a strong sense of population, and according to what we have encountered before, although many creatures have mutated physically, many innate instincts have been preserved intact. Then there must be an ant nest nearby, although we have not encountered it yet, but according to the samples we extracted, the steel plate of the truck is simply not able to withstand the corrosion of the mutated formic acid. ”

"It's just an ant, even if it's mutated, it's not that powerful, right?" A young man next to him said disdainfully, indeed, including Zhang Yuxue Qinghan and others. No one takes the ant to heart, in their opinion, the ant is always an ant, even if it mutates, how much destructive power can it have?

However, considering what happened to Lao Xu and others before, Long Hao still paid enough attention to the questions raised by Lin Xuan.

"I think we have to pay attention to the issue raised by Mr. Lin, but hiking through the jungle at night is too dangerous. Do you have any better suggestions? "Long Hao is out of the question, just throw the problem out and discuss it together, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang. Sometimes the power of the masses cannot be ignored, and the first people to be looked at by Long Hao are Zhang Yu and Mo Feng, but these two people are obviously unreliable at this time.

Both of them basically belong to the kind of people who are good at charging into battle, and they are not good at discussing countermeasures, which is the work of waste brain cells, and they can only scratch their heads in embarrassment for Long Hao's gaze, and they don't know how to answer. Fortunately, Xue Qinghan resolved their embarrassment in time, and the basic situation has been introduced. Xue Qinghan directly closed the laptop in his hand and handed it to Zhang Shanyu.

"I also think that we have to pay attention to the question raised by Dr. Lin Xuan, but I still say that hiking through the jungle at night is no different from looking for death, and we can't choose such a dangerous path because we are worried about the attack of the ant colony. And now these cars are definitely useless, and Sunwoo and I can take apart all the useful parts and make some simple guards. ”

Although Xue Qinghan made a lot of sense, Lin Xuan seemed to insist on her opinion. Long Hao on the side saw that Lin Xuan still wanted to continue arguing with Xue Qinghan, and stepped forward to interrupt the argument between the two, in fact, from the bottom of his heart, Long Hao trusted Xue Qinghan more. After all, no matter what, Long Hao and Xue Qinghan have been together for so long, and they are still quite sure of Xue Qinghan's mind and ability.

"Okay, don't fight! First of all, as Qing Han said, it was almost dark now, and it was too difficult to choose to hike through the jungle at this time, and there were so many women and children in our group. But the problems that Mr. Lin said must also be considered, and we don't know if the army can receive the distress signal from us, and we can't stay here forever and wait for death. So I propose that we choose a compromise solution, and now that it is getting late, we will be here first. If the military still doesn't respond after dawn, then we will abandon the convoy and walk to the safety zone! ”

Most of the people present were Long Hao's old subordinates, and although a small number of them were survivors who joined later, they had always obeyed Long Hao's words, so almost no one raised objections to Long Hao's decision. Lin Xuan opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, because the method proposed by Long Hao was indeed the best solution they could think of at the moment.

Seeing that no one objected, Long Hao finalized the next plan of action on the spot, and did what he said. Immediately began to assign tasks to everyone. Xue Qinghan took Zhang Shanyu to the car to disassemble some useful parts to make some mechanical equipment, while Zhang Yu and Mo Feng were responsible for organizing everyone to arm in situ.

"Teacher Lin, wait a minute, I have some questions I want to talk to you about individually." In the end, Long Hao left Lin Xuan alone.

Lin Xuan also trusted Long Hao's character, and immediately chose to stay alone, in fact, she also wanted to tell Long Hao about the seriousness of the matter, she felt that these people were a little too underestimating ants as creatures. You know, ants are notoriously organized, sometimes even more neat than the army, and more ants can bite elephants to death, which is more than just words for those of them who study biology.

"Teacher Lin, I know that you know a lot of creatures, I left you here to ask if with our current conditions, can you prepare all the potions that get rid of insects such as ants?" After watching everyone leave to carry out the order, Long Hao slowly opened his mouth and told Lin Xuan about his purpose.

"You also think ants are very threatening?" Lin Xuan looked at Long Hao in some surprise, she originally thought that Long Hao, like everyone else, didn't take this matter to heart. Unexpectedly, Long Hao actually left himself alone for this matter, which undoubtedly reflects from the side that Long Hao also attaches great importance to the existence of mutant ants.

"Hmm!" Long Hao nodded affirmatively, ignoring that Lin Xuan was a lady, he took out a cigarette and lit it silently. There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, perhaps because he was often exposed to some pungent smelling potions in the laboratory, but Lin Xuan did not show too much disgust for the cigarette in Long Hao's hand, but just quietly waited for Long Hao's next words.

Long Hao exhaled a puff of white smoke and looked at the horizon in the distance, "There are some things that I haven't even mentioned to Zhang Yu and them, we all served in the army before we established Longteng Security Company." But although Zhang Yu and I joined the army at the same time, we did not serve together for a whole year and a half, and I once participated in some dangerous missions with the team. On one occasion, we encountered the notorious desert marching ants. I'll never forget that battle, when our entire well-equipped squad was almost wiped out! In the entire squad, only me and another teammate escaped alive, and to be honest, the squad I used to be in was the best special combat team in the entire Southern Military Region, and we completed many dangerous missions, but that time we failed! And what defeated us was the ants that were never taken seriously. ”

Speaking of this, Long Hao couldn't help but pause, this was the first time he revealed the reason for his retirement to others. Almost wiped out the entire special operations team by a swarm of ants?

"So you think I'm going to underestimate ants? Teacher Lin Xuan! Long Hao changed his words, turned his head and stared at Lin Xuan very solemnly. This made Lin Xuan a little overwhelmed, she really didn't expect Long Hao to have such an experience, to put it mildly, Long Hao may have more fear of those mutant ants than Lin Xuan.

"And why are you?" Lin Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, she was a little confused now, why did Long Hao insist on arming in place even though he knew the danger of this?

"Why stay where you are? Why not tell them about the seriousness of the matter? Long Hao shook the ash of the cigarette leisurely, and the smoke made Lin Xuan unable to see the eyes hidden behind the smoke, "Two reasons, the first one I have said before, the danger of walking in the jungle at night is no less than facing the attack of the ant colony head-on. As for the second reason, Mr. Lin, you have been committed to scientific research, and you may not know so much about people's hearts. There is an old saying that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and this sentence is also used in our current team. Many people will become extremely emotionally unstable after knowing our current situation, and they need some time to sort out their emotions, otherwise the team may become a plate of scattered sand, and then our actions will become more difficult! Why should I be creating more panic? ”

Indeed, Lin Xuan, who has always been committed to academic research, is far less accurate than Long Hao, who manages the huge dragon, in figuring out people's hearts. However, this did not prevent her from secretly breathing a sigh of relief after listening to Long Hao's explanation: "Our current conditions are very limited, you should also know the truth that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I can only try it as much as possible!" ”

"Well, I understand, I'm a rough person, and I don't know much about these things, so I'm going to trouble you with the next research work!"

"I'll do my best, so I'll go and prepare first. There is a good chance that the ant colony is nearby, so we should prepare for it! ”

Long Hao nodded at Lin Xuan, and then ignored Lin Xuan who hurriedly left to prepare. Instead, after throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, he clenched his fists vigorously with both hands, and then turned back to the convoy, and the sky was already dark. He knew that time was running out for them............
