Chapter 030: Caught in an Ant Colony

As soon as the soldier carrying the person felt out of breath, another soldier immediately picked up Liu Chengtao, and everyone helped each other, and the speed did not slow down.

Maybe we ran fast enough, the shaking under our feet was gone, and each of us was beating wildly and panting. Zhao Jinfu ordered everyone to leave the backpacks in a row to block the ant colony in addition to the necessary things, although he knew that it did not have much effect, but it was a few seconds to block a few seconds, mainly to let everyone travel lightly.

Tents can be thrown, food can be thrown, even water can be thrown, but guns can never be thrown! That's the life of a soldier.

After staying for more than twenty seconds, everyone ran forward again, because we could already vaguely feel the oppression of the dense force of the ant colony rolling and chasing.

These little things aren't fast, but they don't get tired. We can't do it, and we have a few ordinary people with little training, and if we run out of strength like this, we will be caught up by the ant colony sooner or later.

But now there is no other way, except to run, we can't think of a way to stop such a huge ant colony, we can only take one step at a time.

Relying on the limited movement speed of the ant colony, we sometimes have insufficient breath and are forced to stop and walk for more than ten seconds to catch our breath, but Sun Ji said that he couldn't run anymore. He knew that to stop was to die, especially the terrifying sight of being wrapped in an ant colony, but the reality was right in front of him, and his legs were struggling to even take a step, as if they were filled with lead, and they seemed to be rooted in the ground.

Zhao Jinfu could never leave him to die, so he let two soldiers hold one of his arms and drag him forward.

I estimated the time, and if it continued like this, it would take at least half an hour to rush back to the edge of the pothole, and I said to Zhao Jinfu ruthlessly: "You go first, give me a gun and I will break it, and buy you some time." ”

Zhao Jinfu gasped and said, "You get out of the way for me!" What's the use of giving you a heavy machine gun, can you stop the ant colony? I know what you're thinking, it's true that you're a little reckless, but after all, it's for the mission, so I don't blame you. But you listen to me, don't give me any more moths, your biggest task now is to find a way to get everyone out. As long as you can get out alive, I don't care how everyone wants to clean you up! ”

As Zhao Jinfu said, I do have a heart of atonement. If someone is killed or injured because of my negligence, my conscience will not be able to pass it for the rest of my life. Why was I such a bastard just now, moving that tree trunk so well? All the answers were about to be found out at once, and now I messed them all up with my recklessness.

But what Zhao Jinfu said just now is right, let's go out first, as long as I can leave this ghost place, I can be punished as much as I want when I go back.

I had an idea and asked Zhao Jinfu to give me the black piece of South American fruit fly tissue, I broke off half of it hard, returned the rest to Zhao Jinfu, and then crushed the half with my hands. Taking out the kettle on my body, I carefully poured the crumpled black dust into the kettle.

Due to the busyness of my hands, my feet were a little slower, and by the time I got to the end of the line. I shook it vigorously and mixed in half a pot of water from the black powder, and then splashed it on the ground.

I don't know if this will work, so I'll give it a try. Hopefully, these South American fruit flies, which are mixed with natural predators of red fire ants, will stop the ant colonies that are surging behind.

But when I was pouring water outside, I suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance behind me, "poof, puff", like a big centipede moving.

I was horrified, ran a few steps to catch up with the person in front, and shouted nervously: "Hurry up!" Giant ants are catching up! ”

All I could hear was a faint sound, but I guess that since the giant ants had awakened from the eggs beneath the ground, it wasn't just one or two.

When the great terror struck, the potential of the people was stimulated, and the team, which was already running out of strength, immediately ran fast again.

The sacrifice of a team of dozens of soldiers and Comrade Lao Qian is still in front of us, and we know that the guns in our hands can't compete with these mutated giant ants, as long as they catch up, they are basically declared dead.

A scholar once said that if insects were not limited in size, they would be the ones who would dominate the world.

Truth or falsehood aside, but at least now I know that even our well-trained warriors are fully armed against these giant insects, which are inherently protective and attacking, and humans are the most vulnerable creatures in front of them.

And the gun! In the face of these enemies, I am afraid that there is no way to stop them except to provoke them, unless we are carrying rocket artillery now.

We have no other way but to retreat!

We've done our best, but the sound of the death-scented ant chasing is getting closer and closer.

Ten minutes! Give us ten more minutes! We'll be able to get to the edge of the pit, and maybe we'll have the last chance of life under the cover of the trees.

What are these things that make us aware of our existence? Will they not give up tracking us as long as our feet are still on their nests? It seems that the water I spilled before had no effect on them, and this time we are really hanging by a thread.

After all, we still couldn't outrun the colony with more legs than us, but this time it wasn't a tide of small ants rolling on the ground, but a huge giant red fire ant!

Originally, I was still running forward without my life, but it was the sound of gunfire behind me that made me realize that the enemy had finally arrived.

I looked back, and the muzzles of the two warriors were spraying tongues of fire, but the loud gunfire and the bullets flying out obviously had no effect on the incoming enemy, on the contrary, the two warriors were slowing down their running as they turned around and fired, and they were rapidly closing in on the sound of the giant ants crawling away.

I turned my head and shouted, "Don't waste bullets!" Guns are useless against them, go! Come on! ”

Fortunately, my shouts were heard by the two fighters in the intermittent gunfire, and they quickly turned back after us. They had barely run a few paces away when one of the warriors suddenly gave up on his feet and sank one leg into the ground. When the warrior next to him saw it, he immediately reached out to pull him, but countless fire ants poured out of the hole where the warrior's leg had sunk in, and instantly crawled all over half of the warrior's body.

The bite of the red fire ant caused the warrior to snort in pain, and he threw the warrior who had held his hand forward, crying out in pain, "You go!" Let's go! ”

The other warrior gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go together!" ”

The warrior, who saw that he was about to be covered with ants, suddenly grinned and said in a deep voice: "Help me take care of my house!" After speaking, the muzzle of the gun in his hand flipped under his forehead, and the trigger was pulled with a "bang".

This scene happened to be rushed back to save people, and I saw a pain in my heart, and tears came out of my eyes. But I didn't dare to delay any longer, for I saw that the ant colony had crawled to the feet of the other warrior. I rushed over in two steps, grabbed his clothes and whispered, "Hurry up, his family has been handed over to you, you can't let him down!" ”

As I spoke, I didn't care if he heard him or not, so I pulled him and ran forward.

The warrior was dragged away by me in a daze, and he hadn't recovered from the shock he had just had. I slapped him on his helmet as he looked so distraught that he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses and quickly fled from the ant colony that had caught up again.

Three people came back two, Zhao Jinfu saw it, he didn't say anything.

No matter how powerful my potential is, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest, my tinnitus is terrible, and I feel like I don't have enough air when I am short of breath.

Just when I was starting to despair, the warrior at the front suddenly shouted, "We're almost to the edge of the pothole, quick, just a few more steps." ”

This sentence is like a light in the middle of the night, instantly igniting everyone's hope. I felt as if I had the strength in my body again, and I immediately ran forward without myself, but in fact, my speed was not as fast as my usual walking.

However, before he could go far, the warrior in front suddenly stopped, followed by the others. I took a few steps to catch up and looked forward, and in an instant my heart sank to the bottom.

It was indeed to the edge of the pothole, however! Right next to the pit wall, dense ant colonies have spread everywhere, and there are countless giant ants mixed in them, and we have suddenly become a belly and back enemy, in the encirclement of the ant colony, there is no way out.

The colony behind me was getting closer, and I could even hear the stumble of them crawling on the ground. The ant colony in front of us seemed to have spotted us, and they turned around and surrounded us, only a few dozen meters away.

Zhao Jinfu's forehead was bruised, he couldn't accept that his soldiers were facing the possibility of annihilation, but these enemies were completely emotionless, they would only attack and bite the enemy frantically, so that we didn't even have a chance to negotiate.

"Flares!" Zhao Jinfu roared.

I happened to have a firing rifle that I had just taken from the warrior, and I had two flares on my body, so I took out the firing rifle as fast as I could, loaded one flare and raised my hand to hit the sky.

In my heart, I hope that this last light can find a way out of our predicament, otherwise it will not take a few seconds for the ant colony to completely annihilate us.

The light of the flares is still so white that it makes people's eyes uncomfortable for a short time, but the light in the darkness always makes people full of anticipation and hope.

I squinted my eyes and looked around, and seeing the situation clearly only made my heart even more depressed. We are surrounded by horrible ant colonies, and we want to go out unless we can fly.

"Damn it!" I cursed in my heart. I thought that I could try my best to run out of the anthill to snatch back a glimmer of hope of survival, but who would have thought that there would be giant ants to intercept it when I finally reached the edge of the pit! Even these creatures have learned to wrap themselves in front and back, where do we still have a way to live?

"Company commander, look, the action of the ant colony has stopped!" A warrior suddenly shouted in surprise.

His shout immediately reminded us, really! Under the dazzling white light, the ant colony seemed to be frozen, and all of them stood still.

"They're afraid of light!" I shouted excitedly.

How I hadn't thought of any of this earlier! Creatures that live in the dark for a long time are very sensitive to light, and even some creatures will lose their visual function because they have lived in the dark for too long. The same is true for these ant colonies, ants themselves do not like light, and these red fire ants survive in such a special dark environment, so they are naturally more sensitive to light.

In an instant, we were like grasping a life-saving straw, and the flame of hope in our hearts reappeared a little flame again.
