Chapter 61: Blood Ants
In the two days since the Dingze caravan entered the wasteland, except for the initial Steppenwolf attack, it has not encountered any great danger in the past two days.
However, this calm did not relax people, but only added to the unease.
Because, unless the entire species of Mer is extinct, then there will be no peaceful day in the wasteland!
In the past two days, the additional reconnaissance troops sent by the Dingze caravan to the front have also increased, perhaps Feng Nan also felt the solemn and gloomy atmosphere before the storm!
It turned out that Feng Nan's approach was right, because two minutes earlier, a reconnaissance team had received bad news.
About three hundred blood ants are trying to get close to them, and they are expected to meet in an hour!
Don't underestimate these blood ants, they are the size of an adult's fist, their whole body is red, and their individual danger level is B.
A team of three hundred blood ants has a danger level of at least above S, and the entire blood ant tribe has at least a few thousand blood ants, and the danger has increased exponentially!
However, fortunately, the range of activities of blood ants is basically limited to the wasteland, and for some inhabited cities, blood ants generally do not go, of course, there have been no incidents of blood ants attacking cities in history.
I remember that the last blood ant attack was fifty years ago, a small city called Swep didn't know whether it provoked blood ants or blood ants on a whim, anyway, in the end, the entire blood ant tribe, more than 5,000 blood ants attacked Svep City like crazy!
The ending is unexpected, but not unacceptable.
Svepp City was defeated, and at least they held out for seven days......
There are brave people who have been to the city of Svep after the war, the ruins of the city of Svep to be precise, and there are corpses everywhere, both human and bloodant......
According to the photos that have been circulated, almost none of the human corpses are intact!
The light one is missing one or two fingers, and the serious one is the whole head, both hands and feet are gone, and there are a few fist-sized holes in the chest that remains!
It was the rainy season, and nature seemed to want to cover up the terrible war.
The whole city of Svepp was washed by the rain.
However, rain fell from the sky, and blood flowed from the ground......
This is the horror of blood ants, although their individual strength is weak, but once they gather, the number reaches a certain level, it will destroy the world!
Even if there were only more than 300 blood ants, it was absolutely impossible to win unscathed, but there were no hospitals in the wasteland, and once someone was seriously injured, their rudimentary equipment would not be enough to treat them.
At this time, there are only two choices, one is to take the wounded to the nearest hospital for treatment, but 90% of these wounded will die on the road.
The second option is simple, but equally difficult to do, which is to give them a good time and then find a random place to bury them.
Some of the most genuinely affectionate teams can't do such a thing as killing their companions, so they'd rather take a burden with them to the nearest hospital than abandon them.
The entire caravan stopped again, and everyone was waiting for Feng Nan to make a decision, and all the decisions were in Feng Nan's hands, because the people of the entire Dingze caravan trusted and admired Feng Nan very much.
Feng Nan was also weighing the pros and cons at this time, if they took a detour, the distance would increase by at least five days, of course, compared to safety, the increase in distance was nothing.
But there are only two safe routes from Fort Savia to Los Angeles, and now the Dingze caravan is taking one of them, and the other road is said to have been occupied by a group of powerful unknown creatures a few days ago.
In other words, if the Dingze caravan wants to make a detour, it will go into some unexplored areas, which is very likely to enter the lair of some powerful mutant beasts.
Every safe road in the wasteland has been built through the flesh and blood of countless explorers and wilderness pioneers!
The Dingze caravan didn't want to be a pioneer and find a safe route from Fort Savia to Los Angeles.
However, without a detour, the threat of blood ants cannot be ignored.
"All staff moved to the right in place, temporarily withdrew from Line 1, and waited for the next instructions." The herald shouted through the megaphone, and it seemed that Feng Nan had made a choice.
Ye Chu also roughly guessed Feng Nan's intentions based on this order, he shouldn't want to take those routes that are not sure if it is safe, and similarly, he doesn't want to face blood ants.
Therefore, Feng Nan made a compromise order to temporarily withdraw from the No. 1 safety line and react according to the next move of the blood ants.
If the blood ants are just passing by, then they will return to the safety line 1 and continue their journey, if this group of blood ants is coming for them, then they may not be invincible.
Twenty minutes later, the convoy had withdrawn from the No. 1 safety line, at which point the forward reconnaissance team again came with bad news.
The route of the more than 300 blood ants has changed, but what has not changed is that it has always been in the direction of the Dingze caravan!
Feng Nan did not hesitate and made countermeasures.
Again, the herald said: "Attention all members, attention all members! ”
"Please withdraw all non-combatants to the rear of the convoy, five teams follow to protect goods and non-combatants, and one, two, three, four teams please immediately assemble in front of the convoy and prepare for battle!"
After the herald finished speaking, everyone immediately took action, and no one had any objections, which showed the great prestige of Feng Nan.
Half an hour later, the pre-battle preparations were almost complete, all combatants were in position, and the evacuation of non-combatants was complete.
In a few minutes, the formidable blood ants will arrive.
The whole caravan was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was unusually dignified!
At this time, the radio installed on each car came out with a reassuring voice, it was Feng Nan!
"Fellow travelers, first of all, I am honored that you chose to walk with this caravan, which shows that you trust us, so I swear with the honor of the Dingze caravan that I will definitely let you live!"
"Brothers of the Dingze caravan, I must tell you that the enemy we are facing this time is three hundred blood ants, I know that there will be casualties, but please believe that we will never give up on the injured brothers!"
"Hahahahaha......" Feng Nan suddenly laughed.
"To put it bluntly, isn't it just 300 ants? We've even defeated mutant beasts stronger than this, and we're still afraid of such an ant-like guy? ”
"Brothers, kill them all for Lao Tzu, and when you arrive in Los Angeles, Lao Tzu will invite you to drink out of his own pocket!"
Feng Nan was boosting morale, although Feng Nan knew that his subordinates would go all out even if they didn't need to be reminded, but at the moment of the big enemy, as the leader of a team, even if he was not good at words, he still felt that he should say something.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Everyone shouted in unison, this is the best response to Feng Nan.
You can already see the team of blood ants, there is no footsteps trampling the earth, no roaring sound tearing through the sky, there are only more than three hundred fist-sized "red dots" moving rapidly.
"The target appears, and the fire net is covered!" The commander of the front ordered to.
"Sudden ......"
For a while, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the originally silent sky, some people were scared, hiding in a place where they thought it was safe and shivering, while some people were boiling with blood and venting their emotions on the battlefield!
The first wave of fire net covered, about fifty to eighty blood ants were killed, there was no way, the blood ants moved very fast, it was difficult to lock them, and one bullet was not enough to kill them, it usually took two to three rounds to die.
This is where blood ants get tough, they move fast, they are tenacious, and they live in groups.
The first batch of combatants finished a shuttle, and the second group of combatants connected seamlessly, and another wave of fire net coverage came to the blood ants.
The second group of fighters had once again vented a shuttle of bullets, and at this time, even if the first group of fighters had replenished their ammunition, it was too late, because the blood ants were already close to them, and they were quite dangerous with almost no protection.
Therefore, the two men immediately retreated, and the large guns were also dropped, just to run faster.
Ye Chu saw their fighting methods through the window, and he couldn't help but praise them in his heart.
Swift and decisive!
This is Ye Chu's evaluation, however, the next melee battle made Ye Chu feel even more amazing!
Even if more than a hundred blood ants are reduced, the remaining blood ants still have a lot of strength.
At this time, the members of the first and second teams met the most violent first melee impact, followed by the third team as the main attack, and the fourth team as a protective net in the back to prevent the blood ants from rushing to the convoy to destroy.
However, even so, there were still some fish that slipped through the protective net and entered the rear convoy, and the fifth team began to sweep these fish out of the net.
In Ye Chu's opinion, they are not only united and have a clear division of labor, but also very organized and disciplined!
"Bang!"
It seemed that something had hit Ye Chu's car, which attracted his attention, and combined with the members of the five teams who ran by from time to time outside the car, he immediately realized that something was wrong!
"Bang!"
The second impact sounded, and Ye Chu quickly searched for the source of the sound.
Got it!
The sound source is behind Xie Ziyu!
Ye Chu quickly rushed over and hugged Xie Ziyu, and at the same time, the third impact sounded, and Ye Chu couldn't help frowning when he saw that scene.
The car's cargo box is made of five-centimeter-thick steel plates, which should be very strong, but at this time everyone is wondering if this is a parallel import!
There was a hole in the box board that Xie Ziyu was leaning on just now!
At this time, the impact sound became more violent, and the size of the hole expanded rapidly!
Through that hole, Ye Chu knew that it was the blood ant that caused this scene, and there was a blood ant on the outside of the carriage.
It can be imagined what would have happened if Ye Chu hadn't hugged Xie Ziyu away.
Ye Chu didn't say a word, pulled out the pistol on his waist, and didn't care about covering Xie Ziyu's ears, he raised his hand and shot.
"Bang bang bang!" Three shots in a row, however, the first shot knocked the blood ant down, and missed two shots, Ye Chu knew that the blood ant was definitely not dead, and he had to be mended.
In case this is a group of grudge-holding guys, it will be difficult to do, after all, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!
Xie Ziyu seemed to be frightened, wow wow burst into tears, Ye Chu couldn't take care of it, stuffed her to Xie Lingchen, and quickly opened the car door to look for the injured blood ant.
The fist-sized and blood-red body of the blood ant was not hidden, and Ye Chu saw the injured blood ant at a glance.
Only then did he realize that this blood ant seemed to be slightly different from the others, his body was larger, and his body color was more dark red.
Could it be ...... Is it a mutant?
