Chapter Seventy-Four: Talking Bugs?
On the way that Zhang Lan and the three of them walked, bullet casings and army ant corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the display screen of the Xin Bug's heavy armor was covered with green slime, making him almost unable to see the way forward.
After tossing in the underground wormhole for 30 minutes, Zhang Lan, who was rushing forward, stopped. At this moment, they were surrounded by army ants in front and behind, and their ammunition was almost empty.
The nightingale pulls the strings more than 500 times, and even her fingers twitch. Xin Bug gasped for air in the armor and had to open the mask to dissipate heat. And Zhang Lan's Viper revolver had also emptied the last bullet and could only be stuffed back into the holster.
"Zhang Lan, you said you were going to take us out alive, can you do it?" Nightingale asked softly.
"Of course, we're already there." Zhang Lan's ripper erupted with a blinding red glow, and when it was unlocked at 98%, the swinging fist hit the wall directly above him.
"Is this a quick exit track to the offshoot mine?" Xin Bug said excitedly.
"Fast is fast, but it's not the same as you think, because it's ...... It is a cooling water pipe. ”
After Zhang Lan finished speaking, the rock wall in front of him shattered into slag with a bang, and a large amount of groundwater was washed out, and the extremely strong water pressure made the three people not react, and they were rushed forward directly.
At this moment, on the ground, the remaining team members are closely watching the movement in the mining square, and the four electromagnetic interference bombs are operating normally.
But suddenly, a zigzag line of small blue light flashed by, and the four jamming bombs were cut in half at the same time, and they fell heavily to the floor.
"What's that?" The sniper on the cliff used an electronic scope to observe, but couldn't keep up with the speed of the blue dot, "It's too fast!" Can't see clearly! ”
"I'll lock it in."
The operator on the quadruped spider tank uses a more powerful camera to freeze the picture, zoom in, and parse it, and share what he sees with all the team members.
Everyone's faces turned pale...... Can't believe what you're seeing.
From the main gate of the mining area, it took Zhang Lan and the three of them 30 minutes to get to the depths, but from below, it only took them 7 minutes.
With a loud bang, the huge water pressure sprayed a group of military ants and three figures from the water pipe channel next to the gate of the mining area, and fell heavily 20 meters away before stopping.
"Oh!" The kneeling Xin bug untied the heavy armor on his body and vomited the sewage wildly, as if he was going to die.
"I'm back." Under the spotlight, the nightingale, who was slumped on the ground like a big word, actually laughed, and she thought she was going to die, but she actually re-entered the ground, and even she couldn't believe it.
"It's not over yet, there are still alive." Zhang Lan got up from the floor wet, picked up a shovel from the side, and dragged it to the dying army ants and workers.
The Ripper's shovel was like a butcher's knife and cut off all the heads of the worker ants, ending their lives. A spade can kill up to 3, and you need to replace it with a new one, but fortunately, this is a mining area, and there is no shortage of these rough guys.
And just as Zhang Lan walked in front of a slightly smaller worker ant, a faint blue light flashed in front of him behind him.
"You know what? The lifespan of these worker ants is only about 30 days, and the one you want to kill now is only 2 days old, and it can only be considered a child. "The owner of the blue light turned out to be a ...... Ants sitting on excavator tires.
It was the size of a human fist, its armor was dark blue, it had no six legs, but it had arthropod-like hands and feet, a pair of thin dragonfly-like wings on its back to prove that it could fly, and its huge belly hung behind it, flashing blue like a firefly.
"Talking, bug?!" When Zhang Lan was shocked, he still brandished a shovel and smashed the worker ants in front of him to death.
"Human ...... Sure enough, it's the most murderous creature in the world, and we only kill to eat, what about you? Do whatever you want, right? The blue worm stood up from the tire in disdain, its tiny fingers twisting and twisting, making a clattering sound of bones rubbing.
"What are you?" Zhang Lan threw away the broken shovel in his hand and pulled out the last ion-vibration scalpel in his rift.
"Didn't you just say that? I'm a talking bug, but my mother gave me a name, and my name is Lan Ling, a species that has never been seen before among the Flame Army Ants. Lan Ling finished moving his joints, fluttering his little wings, suspended in mid-air.
"Lan Ling?" Zhang Lan rummaged through the encyclopedia in his head, but could not find a description of this creature at all.
"Lan Ling is only called by my friend, and you are not my friend." Lan Ling said, his raised little hand grabbed the excavator tire behind him, and grabbed a small stone from between the gaps.
With a flick of his hand, the stone cut through Zhang Lan's cheek, and the generator room 15 meters away behind him made a big hole that could only be formed by an armor-piercing cannon.
There was a loud bang, and the generator room exploded into a tumbling mushroom cloud, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky. The automatic fire protection system in the mine area was activated, as if a man-made heavy rain had fallen on the entire mining area.
Under the reflection of that firelight, Lan Ling, who stood in mid-air, looked particularly weird.
"You're lucky, we don't eat meat anymore, so when you die, we'll dig a pit and bury you, and finally have a whole corpse." Lan Ling said, taking out a piece of metal-wrapped red crystal from behind him, and wearing it on his right arm, which was as slender as a tree branch.
"We are not enemies, and we do not want to confront you, intelligent beings who can communicate in words can be resolved through negotiations." Zhang Lan explained.
"It's funny that you're trying to negotiate with us while killing my kind? All right! We'll talk about it when you're dead. As he spoke, Lan Ling's body had disappeared, and all that was left in the air was the blue light that flew straight in.
Zhang Lan didn't have time to react at all, instinctively swung his fist hard, and the strange thing was that Lan Ling actually dodged the 90-degree line change at the moment when the fist hit, and then flew parallel to Zhang Lan's fist, and the red crystal slipped out of a visible cut on Zhang Lan's ripper, scraping out dazzling sparks.
"What's that?" Zhang Lan hurriedly flashed to the side and asked in her heart.
"That's the red diamond drill bit used for the excavation of the underground frustration machine, the densest substance in the natural crystals, and it can even cut the Odin metal, a little away from the bug." Jack reminded in his eyes.
"I want to, too, but I can't!"
Zhang Lan looked back, Lan Ling, who could easily walk through the falling rain, was so fast that everything around him seemed to be still, and the moment he turned around, he flew towards Zhang Lan again.
