Chapter 35 37-38.
One thousand and one hundred meters below the strange castle, a team of more than a dozen people is in action.
The team is located in the middle of the underground anthill, and the weird castle is the above-ground part of the anthill, which the dummy ants built from the dirt they dig into the underground anthill and their own saliva.
The underground anthill is circular in shape, covering an area of 20,000 square kilometers as the aboveground part, but the longitudinal extension of the underground anthill is very deep.
The underground ant ** part of the ravines is vertical and horizontal, the buildings are side by side, and the structure is extremely complex, which is simply a labyrinth. Millions of dummy ants live in such a noisy labyrinth.
The structure of the nest is intricate, containing a large number of rooms and passages.
There are countless underground chambers in the underground anthill section, including food storage room, egg room, larval room, queen room, and garbage dump.
And each room also has its own unique function, a food pantry, cool and ventilated. The garbage dump is temporarily stored for food waste, which is convenient and easy to find.
The queen's house is the residence of the queen ant, the leader of the colony, and it is the most safe and hidden......
......
At the head of the squad was a pitch-black armor, followed by a crimson armor, followed by thirteen dark gray armor, as the group engaged in hand-to-hand combat with thousands of dummy ants.
Unlike the dummy ants on the ground, the dummy ants in the ground do not have wings.
The lifespan of the common dummy ant is about 70 years, they are born with wings, and after they are about 30 years old, their wings will fall off and they will become their current form.
The main task of the second and third echelons outside is to attract and contain winged dummy ants.
And the rest of the wingless d'amp ants will have to be handed over to this team.
Although the underground dummy ants have no wings, their physical strength is still in their prime, and their combat experience is even richer, and it is more difficult to deal with them underground than those winged dummy ants.
And this team has only a dozen people, only one thousandth of the number of people outside, and they are deep in the anthill, without the fire support of the fleet, they have to rely on themselves here.
Although the team was being besieged by a colony of d'ami ants hundreds of times their size, the team did not panic and continued to move forward in formation.
The thirteen dark gray armor and crimson armor were equipped with physical swords carrying genetic viruses.
But their combat efficiency is much higher than that of the troops outside, they swing their swords extremely fast, a sword stabs, the target Dam ant has no time to react, it directly stabs into the eye, the virus is released, deadly.
They only use one sword to kill the dum ants, and they kill them with one blow.
With the swing of the long sword, the lives of the dummy ants are harvested in an orderly manner like harvesting wheat.
And the black armor of the leader is even more terrifying, the armor is not equipped with any weapons, but she can deal with everything with her fists and feet alone.
Her seemingly indifferent punch can shatter even the Dam ant carapace that even a laser weapon can't do.
The leg was raised, and the head of another dummy ant was crushed alive.
The pitch-black armor was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and a piece of dummy ants died with one punch and kick.
At this moment, it is not like thousands of dum ants surrounding this squad, but this team of more than a dozen people surrounds the dummy ant colony.
......
At this time, a familiar voice came from the built-in communication system of the leading pitch-black armor: "Report, the latest battle report, the second and third echelons have taken control of the situation on the ground, and the operation is developing in the expected direction." ”
The pitch-black armor replied softly, "Hmm." ”
Looking at the dummy ants like a tidal wave: "There are so many bugs here, if only those two guys were here." ”
"Hmm."
The two communicated calmly, without the slightest appearance of being under siege.
The group advanced as they fought, and at this time, a dark gray armor next to it reported: "Report, the predetermined location of this area has been reached." ”
Hearing this, the pitch-black armor swept away the surrounding dummy ants, and when the other dummy ants pounced, they were blocked by the surrounding armor, and they formed a circle to protect the pitch-black armor in the center.
The pitch-black armor scanned the surrounding terrain and selected a location, then took out a miniature dissolving bomb and adjusted the power and direction of the explosion.
"Sting"
With a puff of white smoke, the anthill was dissolved into a large hole, and under the hole was an open space, connecting to something.
"All out of the battle and into the cave."
Several people responded in unison: "Yes, captain." ”
The operator of this pitch-black armor is none other than the captain of the Red Kite Fleet, Dala, who is also a Level 4 Structural Engineer.
The pitch-black armor on Dala is none other than her S-series armor, Netherfall.
Unlike most fleet commanders, Tara likes to fight with her comrades at the forefront of war.
This is a habit she has maintained from an ordinary Red Kite soldier to the Red Kite Captain.
......
And the crimson armor that followed behind Dala was the S-series armor controlled by the Red Kite Armored Commando Captain Fire Kite - Red Warbler.
The rest of the team is equipped with F-series armor, but there are some differences in appearance from the fourth-generation F-series armor shown earlier, and of course, the technology and materials used in it are even different.
Because they are not equipped with the fourth generation, but the fifth generation of F-series armor - the Sky Warframe.
This squad is the first attack echelon of Red Kite's operation, and there are two S-class Valkyries in the whole team, and the remaining fifteen people are all A-level Valkyries.
The goal of this operation is to be in this huge underground anthill.
The second and third echelons play a role in directing outside, and the mission goal is to require the first attack echelon to go deep into the anthill to obtain.
......
The group jumped into the cave after releasing the sonic boom and the optical jamming bomb.
In the cave is a wide, spiraling passageway, where people exchange information as they advance.
"Report to the captain, the communication signal here is blurred, and the reception of information on the ground is intermittent."
"Well, what about the target location?"
"Back to the captain, according to the detection radar, target No. 1 is the closest to us, about 1,800 meters away from us, but the target is constantly moving. The No. 2 target is 3,000 and 50 meters away from its current position, the target position is fixed, and it has not yet moved. ”
"Okay, let's go capture Target One first."
"Yes, Captain."
"A large number of vital sign reactions have been reported in the passage ahead, presumed to be a Dam ant colony."
"All staff, ready for battle."
"Yes, Captain."
......
At the same time, the ark was held in the mouth by a huge creature with a large palate, long tentacles, and a poisonous needle in its tail.
The ark was paralyzed and unable to move, and could be bitten in half at any time by the Dam ant in its mouth.
Fang Zhou had to ask Bai Qi for help, but Bai Qi went offline again at this time and didn't know what to do, so he didn't pay attention to Fang Zhou at all.
Fortunately, the dummy ants did not eat the ark, but just held the ark in their mouths and climbed into a cave under a tree, and the dummy ants walked all the way down the cave, and met hundreds of dummy ants along the way.
But this is supposed to be a food transport route for the Damm ants, and unfortunately, the Ark is also a member of this food.
(38.)
The ark was led by the Dam ants to a room full of holes, piled high with fruits, wild vegetables, insects, seafood, and, of course, a few indiscriminate stones.
When the ark spotted the Dam ant walking towards a fathead fish on his feet, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the dummy ant walked up to the fat-headed fish with the ark in his mouth, shook his head, and threw the ark out, only to put the ark's head into the fish's mouth.
"Damn..."
......
The fat-headed fish that was forced to hold the ark was not dead, the gills were closed one by one, and it was difficult to breathe, but it was bitter for the ark in the fish head, this fish didn't know what to eat, and the fish head was so stinky that the ark was about to suffocate.
Unbeknownst to the Ark, the fish was called the Clean Fish and lived on the excrement of other fish.
Of course I still don't know as well...
......
"Goo~"
The ark, which was struggling to survive in the fish's head, suddenly heard a small sound, and then felt something touch his head, and then gently licked his ears.
Then something very soft slid against the neck of the ark,
This touch, forehead...... Like dough.
Fang Zhou's head couldn't move, and the extreme perspective of his eyes only saw a cloud of whiteness.
The doughy thing slid along the top of the ark, warm and smooth, a sensation that the ark had never experienced.
To be honest, the Ark felt quite comfortable.
The ark only felt that the softness was going up a point, and then there was a soft "ding", and the softness touched something.
"Not good!"
Fang Zhou secretly screamed in his heart, trying to stop it but couldn't.
Because at this time, there were only tears on the back of the ark.
"Stop."
But again, things are going in the direction that the Ark doesn't want to see.
The ball of softness also seemed to be interested in the knife, and it bit down on the hilt, and then dragged it hard.
"Rub~"
With a familiar voice, tears flowed out of my heart.
At the moment when the tears came out of the sheath, a cold and depressing aura also spread.
The softness stopped moving, and the warm body gradually lost its temperature.
The Ark knew it was too late.
Tears in the heart, death to those who draw the sword.
......
Because the head of the ark was diagonally downward, the tears of the unsheathed did not stop, it slid downward, and the sharp blade cut a shallow mark of blood on the back of the ark's neck.
The scarlet aura circulating on the blade invaded the ark's body along the wound and spread throughout the body along the blood.
The first thing that affected the breath overflowing from the tears was the fathead fish that was forced to hold the ark in its mouth, its pupils suddenly widened, and its body began to struggle violently.
......
Originally, this fathead fish couldn't move because of the formic acid of the dummy ant, so it could only wait for death silently, but at this time, I don't know if it was because of the influence of blood and blood in the tears, its mobility was restored, but because it couldn't move at all on land, it could only shake its head.
......
And the ark, which was swaying with the fathead fish, suddenly found that he had also regained his mobility.
Fang Zhou hurriedly opened the fish's mouth with both hands and pulled his head out.
"Huhu~"
The ark took a big breath and didn't smell the fishy smell of the air, and it felt very good.
After a while, the ark propped up the fish's head again, and he wanted to see what the softness was.
When Fang Zhou saw the softness clearly, his expression suddenly became indifferent.
This thing...... It was quite different from what he imagined.
Lying on the fish's mouth was a white meat worm, Ark was more disgusted with insects, and the thought of being licked by it just now, and rubbing it around on himself, Ark was angry and wanted to kill insects.
However, by this time it had lost its vitality. There was not a single scar on the white and chubby flesh, but the originally black eyes had turned into a chaotic gray at this time, without color.
It looks like the soul has been stripped away.
The Ark hates bugs, but now that it's dead, the Ark won't do anything to it.
It's just that I don't know how this worm got into the mouth of this fat-headed fish, and it was also unlucky to die with it.
......
After a while, the fathead fish had stopped moving, and it lay down on the ground, opening and closing its gills with difficulty, and the fish's eyes were gray.
It was supposed to last for two or three days, but in a few minutes, it had run out of life.
Although the blood of the tears of the heart allowed it to temporarily regain its vitality, the price was to consume its remaining vitality.
Fang Zhou looked at the dying fathead fish: "You and I have a fate, that is, fate." Let me give you one last ride. ”
Fang Ark pulled out tears and stabbed the spine of the fathead fish's back.
The fathead fish did not make a sound, and passed away.
......
"Boy, your kindness hasn't been exhausted yet."
Fang Zhou wiped away his tears and said, "It's so punctual every time." ”
Bai Qi heard the dissatisfaction in Fang Zhou's words: "Boy, I know you blame me for not coming to save you." But if I take care of everything, how are you going to grow? Will the future ruler be me or you? ”
"Then you don't have to wait until I solve the problem or after the problem is solved for me?"
"Haha, boy. Don't provoke me, I'll show up when it's time to appear. Besides, your problem doesn't seem to be solved yet. ”
The Ark stopped moving: "What do you mean?" ”
Before Bai Qi could answer, Fang Zhou heard a sound of Suosuo.
Immediately after, a dummy ant crawled in through the entrance, holding a cockroach-like insect in its mouth.
When it entered, the huge eyes soon spotted the Ark standing.
"Hiss~"
Seeing the Ark drop its prey directly in its mouth, the Dam ant rushed towards the Ark, closing a pair of palates one by one, vowing to clamp the Ark in half.
Fang Zhou's eyes narrowed: "Look for death." ”
The hind limbs of the dam ant kicked the ground in unison, and its huge body soared into the air, attacking from the bottom, and a fierce tiger pounced on it.
The ark stood still, not retreating.
He sheathed his tears, leaned slightly to the side, and held the hilt of his knife to stare at the incoming dum ants.
When the dummy ant was only a body away from the ark, the ark lowered its body and burst into tears.
Sword out.
The two staggered for only a moment, and there was no fierce confrontation, as if it was just a breeze blowing.
The ark slowly sheathed the blood-stained tears, and behind him, a thin red line had quietly emerged from the body of the dum ant that had not yet landed.
As soon as the huge body of the dummy ant landed, the thin red line on its body instantly cracked open and turned into a river of blood because of the slight reaction force generated when it landed.
The body of the dummy ant then split in two and fell to the sides, and the warm blood gushed out, turning into a bloody rain waterfall.
The ark was bathed in a rain of blood, allowing it to stain itself red, and its eyes shimmered with a terrifying red glow that was more abundant than blood.
......
Fang Zhou shook his palm: "It feels so good to be in control of life and death." ”
Fang Zhou had a slight smile on his face, completely unconcerned about the blood beads that kept dripping from his body.
"I don't think one is enough, just a few more."
The ark finally got what he wanted this time, and the sound of Si Si Suo quickly sounded all around, but this time the sound sounded from all directions.
The ark's eyes swept away, and tens of thousands of green rays lit up all around, surrounding the ark.
Then, the black tide of dummy ants poured out of the holes around them, their palates "clicking" and striking each other, and tens of thousands of eyes stared at the guy who had slaughtered their companions.
"Goo~"
The Ark looked at the dense and constantly approaching Dam ant colony, and the Ark's dense phobia was about to be committed.
He knew he wouldn't be a match for tens of thousands of dummy ants.
......
"Bai Qi, are you there?"
"Bai Qi?"
"White..."
......
......
Sure enough, at a critical time, Bai Qi went offline again.
