Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 7: Termites

In the civic square of the eighth district, there are uncles playing chess and children frolicking during the day, and aunts dancing square dances and singing songs at night.

In the very center of the square is an iconic building, a large cylinder with a prototype plate on top and a lightning rod-like thing on the top.

This is the lifeblood of the whole town, the wind control generator set.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, there are always times when it is windy, rainy, snowy, and the sun does not come out. At this time, the wind control generator set will play its role to generate electricity for the whole town, relying on the wind.

This chicken-like thing has always existed in various towns and cities, so it is better to prevent problems before they happen. If the pace of the times slowly returns to the previous days, this risk control device will be the best tool for the world.

Although everyone didn't believe it, no one dared to propose to remove this wind control generator set from various small towns and cities, although it was ugly, but it didn't get in the way.

Grandpa Meng's goal is the big cylinder of this wind-controlled generator set. On the pillars, emergency callers to the various towns are installed.

The sound of heavy breathing, blowing away the dust from the pillars. Grandpa Meng raised his sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead and pressed the red No. 9 button.

"District 8 calls District 9, I am Meng Defan of District 8, and I am responsible for every word I have said below. A group of mutated wild dogs came to the city road, and they entered the town of District 8 and injured people, but they have basically been cleared. Now, another group of mutant dingoes on the highway are running wildly, and behind them are termites, man-eating termites. Attention Sector Nine, please activate Level 1 Defense now. ”

Meng Defan's voice sounded in the sky above the town of District 9, and the whole town was silent.

Viewed from above, the 9th and 8th districts are arranged in the same pattern, with rows of small two-story buildings standing quietly on both sides of the road. On both sides of the road in the town are artificial flower beds, which are full of flowers that can be brought to life all year round. Under the tall trees, there are rows of resting benches, and on the table in front of the benches there are still unfinished chessboards.

In the whole community, some houses were opened, the fence collapsed, and the protective cover that was halfway started was suspended in the air. In the entire town square, there were no bones but bones, and in the buildings behind the protective shields, those fresh lives were trembling.

Just over an hour ago, a herd of mutant cattle appeared in the cattle farm outside the town, and a large herd of mad cows, driven by well-intentioned people, ran out of the cattle farm, knocked down the wall, and broke into the square of the town in District 9.

The wind came from the side of the mountain, blowing through the town of District 9 with a strong smell of blood, and fluttering towards District 8.

Tell people silently that the town of District 9 has been brutally wiped out!

Grandpa Meng stood in the civic square of District 8 and counted down quietly, he only gave himself time to count ten, from ten to one. Regardless of whether District 9 answers or not, he has to leave here.

It was too late, and he had already heard the sound of wild dogs running like horses' hooves stepping on the border, heading straight for the town of District 8.

There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, Grandpa Meng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of District Nine, he could no longer tell whether this bloody breath was a sign of the fallen wild dogs in District Eight or the wind coming from District Nine.

"Something may have happened in District 9, please answer when District 10 hears it."

The voice of District 10 came from the opposite side: "District 10 received, a defensive wall has been erected." ”

"District Eleven, please answer when you hear it."

Another voice came from the other side: "District 11 has received it, and it has prepared its defense." ”

Lao Meng put down the red button No. 11 and sighed softly

"Zone 8 enters the second level of defense, and the eighth sector enters the second level of defense."

Grandpa Meng's loud voice came from the sky above the town in District 8, and soon his running footsteps sounded in the town's civic square, and the mutated wild dogs had reached the periphery of the town in District 8.

From the city road to enter the town, you must pass through the suspension overpass, the overpass at this moment has been put away by Grandpa Meng, and then if you want to enter the town, you have to cross the wide and deep ravine between the road and the town.

Some of the crazy wild dogs saw the town by the road and immediately threw themselves into the water and swam towards the town, and they might be able to survive if they entered the town.

The other part of the wild dogs did not stop at the gate of the eighth district, but ran to the next destination without hesitation, and the eighth district used to have nine to twelve districts, a total of four districts. Not every district has a wide and deep ravine as a barrier, as in the eighth district.

The white ant colony on the highway arrived, and looking at the wild dogs running into the distance, the termites miraculously stopped outside the town and did not chase the wild dogs that ran to the ninth district.

Looking out at the city highway through the balcony on the second floor, it was like a thick layer of snow had fallen on the road. Those termites were covered in dust and blood. Their bellies bulged slightly, and blood was faintly flowing in them, and it wasn't their flesh, and their flesh shouldn't be red.

A huge transparent termite stands in the colony, it is held by countless termites to stand on top of the colony, the snow-white body, is also supported to the transparent belly, the red to purple blood in it is turbulent, as if to gush out of the feeling, so that its fat body is particularly hideous.

This is the queen ant and the supreme commander of this group of termites.

A rustling sound spread through the ant colony like an electric wave. Teams of termites lined up and ran to the street trees on the side of the highway near the community in an orderly manner.

Soon, the ant colony climbed up the artificial tree on the side of the city road, and countless leaves and bark flew down from the sky, as if torn apart by a chainsaw.

Some of the leaves and bark fell on the road, and some fell into the ditch outside the town. The leaves and bark that had fallen on the road were dragged into the ditch by termites, and the green fallen leaves in the ditch were mixed with broken branches and stripped dark brown bark.

The wild dogs in the ditch were swimming towards the town with all their might, and they were afraid that if they were too slow, they would be chased and devoured by this terrible group of termites.

One by one, fist-sized ants jumped into the water, stepped on them, and poured towards the dogs with these broken leaves and branches.

One or two dogs, left behind, were quickly chased by the ant colony. Struggling, biting, purple-black blood stained the ditch outside the town.

Grandpa Meng's direction of running was not his family's two-story residential building, but the emergency defense station of the town in District 8. Where can he bring the town under his wings and protect its inhabitants from outsiders.

Not far from the Civic Square, the Emergency Defense Station is two cartoon-shaped houses with pink walls and blue tiles, just on the right side of the Civic Square. In front of the house are all kinds of small animals, and unlike the cartoon characters in the square, they are very realistic, and many of the animals that have disappeared in the real world are made vividly.

During the day, it's a children's paradise.

Children run over to take pictures with cartoon characters in front of the house, or ride on the elk's neck to stroke the simulated antlers on its head. There are even more mischievous boys, climbing up from the elephant's tail to the elephant's trunk, and then jumping from the elephant's trunk to the giraffe on the side.

At this moment, the children's favorite elephant suddenly grew its mouth and raised its thick snout. A long pipe came out of the elephant's trunk and went into a ditch outside the town, and soon several termites climbed onto the elephant's trunk and quickly climbed up.

The townspeople all stood on the second-floor balconies of their small buildings, and on one side of the balcony, a display screen of about 14 copies clearly showed the elephant's outstretched pipe, and black oil with a pungent smell flowed from it.

A layer of black oil soon floated on the surface of the ditch outside the town. Hundreds of wild dogs, thousands of termites were instantly dyed black, still strong and struggling on the water to the town.

From the roof of the fortification, four fist-sized birds flew up, and they nimbly slid an arc from the sky and landed in a ditch full of black oil and termites.

The flames were everywhere.

At this moment, Meng Sangyu was sliding down the tree and running up the mountain, and not far away, a huge golden retriever was running wildly.

Compared with humans and dogs, the speed is not equal in the first place, not to mention that Sang Yu is only five years old.

Without hesitation, Sang Yu turned around and flicked the crossbow on the Golden Retriever's wrist, and a sharp arrow flew towards the Golden Retriever and grazed its body and stuck it on the ground.

The right side of the golden retriever's body was pulled out of a narrow blood groove, and the blackened blood stained what should have been beautiful hair. This miss, instead of killing the Golden Retriever, angered it.

The golden retriever was huge and extremely fast, and it only took a few breaths to catch up with Sang Yu, who was running desperately in front. And the arrows in her hand are only two.

Seeing that the golden retriever was about to catch up, when she threw herself into her body, Sang Yu immediately turned around, the crossbow on her wrist was triggered, and another iron arrow came straight towards the golden retriever's door.

Even so, the golden retriever's huge body pressed over like a small mountain.

Mulberry lunged forward from under the Golden Retriever, and fell into the grass, where the Golden Retriever had just turned. If she wants to go up the mountain now, she must pass by the golden retriever, and if she wants to go down the mountain into the town, it is a little far.

In the end, it was a child who followed his grandfather around the mountains all day long, Sang Yu raised his wrist and shot another arrow at the golden retriever. She didn't see where the first arrow was, but this arrow was clear where the golden retriever's neck had just risen.

She didn't know what the situation was like in the town, and she didn't dare to run to the town easily. The five-year-old child is still very crisis-conscious in this era, and he only hesitated to decide to bypass the golden retriever and go up the mountain.

Relying on her short stature, she slipped through the grass beside her, pulled her legs and ran up the hill.

There were no iron arrows left on the crossbow on his wrist, and he didn't dare to go up at will to check if the golden retriever was dead. By her reasoning, it's hard. After all, he is not a grandfather, and without the accuracy of a grandfather, he can accurately shoot into the fatal part of the dog, the nose.

Grandpa told them that beating a dog and nose, hitting a man and hitting a jiji, and hitting a woman are also xiong and jiji. Grandpa also said that saving one's life in times of danger is the most important thing, and the rest is nonsense.

Mulberry quickly ran through the grass and around a mulberry tree to the cave.
