Chapter 17: Collapse and the Ant Nest
The weather in July is getting hotter and hotter, Li Ang has rarely gone out today, and it has been almost 10 days since he came to the Jinling Survivor Base, Li Ang takes Xiao Huang out to kill zombies almost every day, killing zombies can not only get buns to enhance their strength, but also make the people in Jinling Base less dangerous, why not?
I don't know if it's because the zombies have become stronger or because their ability level is higher, now the probability of killing zombies to get buns has increased a lot, and killing ordinary zombies can produce special buns with mutation prefixes, but the odds are very touching, Li Ang has killed no less than 5,000 zombies in the past 10 days, and there has only been one time.
Li Ang decided to take a day off today, and he can only stay relaxed for a long time. There is a large lake in the university where he lives, which occupies most of the entire area of the university, and the lake is in the shape of a relatively fat crescent moon, and Li Ang is now sitting under a large willow tree on the bank of the protruding one.
The lake water is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, slightly brushing, rippling blue waves, more and more ethereal; The emerald green lotus leaves are randomly embellished, and occasionally small fish swim by with slight ripples, and the budding flowers and bones are like shy girls, gently writhing with the slight waves.
"Boom~~~" Suddenly, this rare silence was ruthlessly broken, the earth shook, smoke and dust rose everywhere, a teaching building not far from Li Ang continued to sink and collapse, he jumped up in fright, he was lying on the grass and sleeping comfortably, Li Ang couldn't help but want to scold the street! Isn't there a time for peace on this day?
Running quickly to the collapsed teaching building, Xiao Huang was originally swimming happily in the lake, but this will also be a fast run, while running, the flames rose and quickly dried the lake water on his body, and the whole body was steaming, like a cloud.
The collapsed school building was originally stacked with food, but recently the food here has run out, and there is no replenishment, so it is idle, no one lives, and no one usually comes.
The teaching building is 6 stories high, and the collapse is very huge, but fortunately, the teaching building is some distance away from the teaching building.
The base army also reacted quickly, and after a short time, a young officer led a quick run.
"Hello Mr. Li, what's going on here?" Leon still did not join the army.
"I didn't know, I was resting by a nearby lake, and the building suddenly collapsed."
The collapse has stopped, and when they reached the edge of the ruins, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, a huge hole in the ground, dark and bottomless, and broken bricks slid down from time to time on the edge of the hole, and no sound could be heard for a long time.
Gradually, there was a faint rustling sound from under the cave, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Alert!" The young soldier shouted loudly, and as soon as the words fell, an ant the size of a mouse crawled out of the burrow, its sharp jaws flashing with black light, and its movements were agile and light.
Without waiting for everyone to make a move, huge ants crawled out of the burrows in the ground, and quickly spread around.
"Stand back, fire!"
The guns rang out in unison, the fires splashed everywhere, the ant colonies were dense, and the lethality of firearms was still considerable, and one bullet could often kill multiple ants. But the situation is not good, there are too many ants, just like the groundwater is surging, clumps of ants are emerging from the holes, and the speed of killing ants is far less than the speed of the follow-up replenishment of the ant army!
From time to time, there are young warriors who are too late to dodge by ants, as long as they are bitten, their whole body is paralyzed, and they can only watch one ant after another crawl on their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, a living person completely disappears from the world, leaving no trace. Some saw their comrades being swallowed up by the ant army and went to the rescue, and if they were a little careless, they were also ant colony and disappeared.
Commander Zhou also rushed over quickly when he heard the news, bringing most of the troops left behind in the base, and almost all of them could be mobilized here.
The clatter of gunfire was endless, but the human army kept retreating.
There is always a limit to the speed at which the burrow can output ants, and after the human army retreated nearly a hundred meters, the situation gradually stabilized, and the two sides entered a stalemate. The human legion consumes ammo, while the ant legion consumes life.
The stalemate between the two sides did not take long, the balance was broken instantly, only to see a huge black cloud emerging from the hole in the ground, look carefully, it turned out to be a large group of flying ants, larger than ordinary ants, the front jaw is more developed, if you are bitten, you will definitely lose a piece of meat.
The ant cloud was fast and swept away in one direction, and a group of soldiers were shrouded in the dark cloud, and the screams stopped abruptly as soon as they came out, and the dark cloud did not stay, and rushed towards the place where there were many others, but there was nothing left in the same place.
The direction of the dark cloud attack happened to be where Li Ang was, and in just a few seconds from the appearance of the dark clouds to now, Xiao Huang had just condensed the fireball, but several young warriors were already gone!
The ant cloud was greeted by a huge fireball not much smaller than the dark cloud, the flames raged, exploding a huge flame flower in the air, crackling sound one after another, a thick scorching smell spread all over the world, but everyone did not dislike it, but cheered loudly.
The cheers did not last, but in the cave, one, two, three... Legions of flying ants shot out in a hurry, enveloping them in all directions.
Li Ang's long knife kept swinging, and the big ants were cut in half, and they even dropped the buns.
Item name: xiaolongbao, common food, 6 for one serving; Item Function: Edible can fill the stomach, very slight paralysis effect, very weak increase to paralysis toxin resistance; Special Effects: None.
The small yellow four-hooves flame is burning, and the back is even more blazing, running wantonly among the ant colony to leave a path of flames, where it passes, the big ants are burning, one infects two, and the flames continue to spread in the ant colony.
The ant colony can be said to hate Xiao Huang, constantly chasing and intercepting, and occasionally there are those who can climb on Xiao Huang's body, and the huge teeth continue to bite, but it is difficult to pierce Xiao Huang's thick fur.
The swarm of flying ants also shrouded Xiao Huang, and before they could get close, they had already burned most of them to death by the flames on Xiao Huang's four hooves and back. The ant colony was not afraid, and still pounced on Xiao Huang without fear of death, biting vigorously, even if the effect was not obvious. There are more and more ants on Xiao Huang's body, even if the thick fur is bitten through!
"Woo woo woo woo ~ ~~" raised the sky and roared, a flame tornado rose from Xiao Huang around, the flame continued to rotate with gusts of wind, the wind helped the fire, the fire was majestic, and it was not long before the flame tornado swept the world.
Xiao Huang deliberately ran to the edge of the cave to open the big one, the huge fire tornado raged, a large group of ants were sucked by the fire tornado, the ant army was quickly wiped out, only a small part of the scattered ones were quickly wiped out. In the end, Xiao Huang controlled the fire tornado and poured into the hole, and the threat of the ant army was temporarily lifted.
In today's big battle, Xiao Huang is undoubtedly the MVP!
Countless ants were burned to ashes, a hazy black mist drifted between the heavens and the earth, and layers of ant fragments were scattered on the ground.
There are not many human corpses, but they are not worth rejoicing. According to post-war statistics, 86 human beings were killed in this battle, and only 5 corpses were killed, which were also mutilated.
Everyone was in a very low mood, but a group of small ants that humans never paid attention to brought great sadness to humans.
"What about this hole?" The adjutant asked Commander Zhou for instructions.
"Do you know how deep this hole is?"
"Undetectable, bottomless."
"You mean you can't fill it in?"
"I'm afraid it's hard."
Commander Zhou couldn't help but close his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"There must be a queen ant in the ant colony, I will take Xiao Huang to kill the queen!" Li Ang stood up, not impassioned, but said lightly.
Commander Zhou opened his eyes and patted Li Ang's shoulder: "Okay! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager, please! After speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Ang.
Li Ang didn't say just go, this big battle, physical strength is also very expensive, Xiao Huang also has to take a good rest, and make some other preparations. In this battle, the ant colony also died countless times, and it should not attack again in a short time.
Leon plans to rest for a day and set off tomorrow.
