126 Strategic Retreat
After eating and drinking, Ye Han licked his unfinished teeth, and the remaining fragrance between his teeth spread across the tip of his tongue, making him feel the urge to eat two more buns. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, six buns had already filled his belly, and he couldn't eat it anyway.
After walking around the armored car a few times, the feeling of fullness finally dissipated, and seeing the two companions walking out of the dining car from a distance, Ye Han waved to the two of them, and the three of them boarded the armored car and set off again.
The morning fog had long since dissipated, and the bright sunlight sprinkled onto the earth, and along the railway, not long after crossing the front of the train, the mountain of ant corpses came into Ye Han's eyes.
It was the giant ant carcass discarded by the train factory, the carapace several meters high was piled up, the ant meat in the shell had long been rotted, countless big-headed flies were circling and flying in the shell mountain, and a pungent stench spread far away, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.
The accumulation of ant carcasses stretches almost a kilometre in the direction of the ant-infested area next to the railway.
All the ant corpses are production waste dumped in the past few days, and the reason for this situation is that the train factory does not have the energy to dispose of the excess ant corpses, so they can only be discarded on the spot, so that the ubiquitous microorganisms can naturally decompose the ant corpses and return them to nature.
At present, the ant occupation area is expanding at an average daily rate of about 200 meters, in order to ensure a safe distance, the train factory has to retreat the corresponding distance every day, a few days down, has retreated to the direction of Fuyun for one kilometer, and the discarded ant corpses will gradually extend with the retreat of the train factory.
In Ye Han's experience, the daily dispersal rate of giant ants is definitely more than 200 meters, but with the expansion of the ant area, the ant colony has gradually split into several different groups, and the smell of each nest of giant ants is different.
Due to the lack of food, civil strife often breaks out among ant colonies, which consumes a large number of giant ants and limits the dispersal rate of giant ants, otherwise the spread rate of ant occupation is definitely more than 200 meters per day.
With useless and confused thoughts in his mind, the armored car gradually drove closer to the ant-occupied area, and there were still more than two hundred meters away, Ye Han suddenly saw a team of giant ants wandering around the edge of the ant-occupied area.
Ye Han patted the roof of the car: "Stop!" ”
"What's wrong, platoon commander?" The driver probed his brain curiously.
The veteran of the same car knocked on the driver's helmet with a shudder: "As far as you have a lot of things, I haven't squeaked yet, what do you ask!" ”
The driver smiled, revealing a thick tiger tooth: "Platoon commander, the veteran bullied me again!" ”
Although Ye Han was borrowed by Long Jianguo, how could the soldiers know the inside story, so they only regarded it as a newly transferred platoon commander.
Ye Han was wearing a dime, and he was doing the work of a platoon commander, so he didn't bother to explain so much to the soldiers, so he simply made a mistake.
"Dare to sue!" The veteran's eyes widened, and he was about to knock out, and Huya quickly shrunk his neck.
Ye Han smiled: "There are a few ants in front, we don't need to run inside this time, Huya, lean over!" ”
"Great!" Huya agreed, and the armored car rumbled forward, not afraid of the giant ants at all.
After this period of induction, the ant trapping team has mastered some of the action characteristics of giant ants, knowing that worker ants act with a sense of smell and are very insensitive to odors other than pheromones, and those two oversized compound eyes are no different from decorations.
The situation of the soldier ant is slightly different, this thing likes to chase sounds in addition to smelling.
The soldiers summed up a set of effective experiences, and also made up a few sentences: the worker ants threw bottles, the soldier ants moved, and the queen ant was worried about it, and she couldn't find it when she was tired to death.
Anyway, the military doesn't need giant ants, and since Long Jianguo and below, no one in the ant hunting team has rushed to find the ant queen everywhere, and continues to ravage the worker ants and soldiers with peace of mind.
The armored car was still one hundred and eighty meters away from the giant ants, and Ye Han unexpectedly found that the giant ants suddenly climbed onto the railroad and jumped to the other side of the roadbed.
Ye Han hammered his fist on the roof of the car in annoyance, and then ordered: "
At this moment, the giant ants hurried back across the railroad again, each holding a stinking ant shell.
Ye Han was a little stunned, what is the situation?
All he knew was that giant ants had a habit of carrying their dead companions back to the anthill, and that the reason for doing so was that dead ants emitted some kind of strong pheromones.
Could it be that these stripped glands, fragmented ant shells still emit some kind of pheromones?
"Love, what's wrong!" Ye Han no longer hesitated, got out of the carriage and held the ant fork cannon, ready to shoot at the giant ant.
But out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see something squirming, and subconsciously turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The pile of corpses piled up on the other side of the roadbed was already crawling with giant ants at some point, and they crawled out of the anthill in a queue, winding all the way to the bottom of the corpse pile, reverently picking up a piece of ant shell and turning around silently.
The efficiency of the ant colony was terrifying, and it only took a short time for the giant ants shuttling back and forth to remove a bunch of ant shells.
Ye Han immediately realized that the reason why the ant colony was here was because the boundary of the ant-occupied area had just extended to the vicinity of the corpse pile, and it was probably a giant ant who went out to forage for food accidentally discovered the corpse pile, which attracted a large army.
With Ye Han's understanding of giant ants, the stubborn ant colony will definitely move all the ant shells back to the nest, and with the efficiency of giant ants, it won't take long to remove all the ant corpses that have been saved in the past few days, and the ant colony will be close to the train factory a kilometer away, and it may even be attracted by the ant corpses in various workshops and attack the train factory!
Thinking of this, Ye Han didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't have the heart to catch any giant ants, so he took off the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Old Dragon, something happened!" ”
Huya and the veteran raised their heads together, but they couldn't see Ye Han's expression blocked by the carriage.
"So awesome?" The veteran muttered dissatisfiedly, turned his head and saw Huya looking at him, and immediately glared angrily: "Look at what, drive your car." ”
There are hundreds of people in the whole battalion, and Ye Han alone dares to call the battalion elder Long, Long Jianguo doesn't care at all, and he smiles all day long.
Just kidding, the old dragon is ruthless, the whole battalion from top to bottom, which one mentions the military mad dragon Jianguolong's heart is not abrupt? It's just that Ye Han is different, saying that Ye Han has no one on it, who believes it?
Huya retracted his gaze aggrievedly, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.
At this time, the two of them heard Long Jianguo's voice on the walkie-talkie: "What's the situation?" ”
Ye Han briefly recounted what he saw, and then talked about his worries.
"Understood, withdraw immediately." Long Jianguo instructed.
Ye Han retracted into the carriage: "Huya, withdraw!" ”
"Great!" Huya agreed, and the armored car made a big circle and quickly retreated to the train factory.
