Chapter 149: Ant Plague
0149
In the vast desert, the Loulan Ancient Sentry Tower is as inconspicuous as a grain of sand, but in this desert, there is a demon not much bigger than the sand - the desert marching ant.
The smell of blood caused by the previous massacre of the desert wolves by Ebony attracted the attention of the desert marching ants who had moved to the Loulan Ancient Sentry Tower here at some point, and they were about to break through the sand soon, and after eating all the corpses of those desert wolves, as "a piece of fat meat just around the corner", the archaeological team was also in danger.
So. The archaeological team pulled the reluctant old man Han Duwei to evacuate the Loulan Ancient Sentry Tower, and walked towards the desert in the hinterland of Loulan before the desert marching ants noticed a group of people on their side. But the desert marching ants that originally lived in the hinterland of Loulan actually moved, which made Ebony a little concerned.
"Boss Wu, there seems to be something wrong behind it......" Han Yi's question made Ebony He, who was opening the way in front, turn his head.
"Oh no, the smell we left behind was discovered by the desert marching ants, and they caught up!" When Wu Muhe saw the blackened sand dunes that Han Yi pointed out, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he roared angrily, "Everyone, speed up immediately!" ”
Hu Fei and Wu Sheng were also so frightened that their faces turned white, and several college students were almost fainting, so Wu Muhe hurriedly threw the five college students and the frightened Associate Professor Hao Ren on the back of the camel one by one, dropped a bunch of supplies, and then drove the camel with Hu Fei and Wu Sheng to speed up and gallop.
Watching the black wave get closer and closer, he was attracted by the dropped supplies, and then he ate around the pair of supplies.
"I'll give you a hard blow." Wu Sheng viciously took out a remote control and detonated the earth explosives hidden in the supply that were originally used to blow up the rocks.
"When did you get so prepared?" Hu Fei's eyes were about to jump out, he didn't expect his brother to do such a big thing quietly.
"Boom-"
The mass of desert marching ants turned red in an instant, and then exploded, and the flames splashed like raindrops in the wave formed by the desert marching ants, spreading the flames rapidly.
"I made it yesterday." Looking at the desert marching ants that were temporarily stopped, Wu Sheng looked proud.
"Let's not talk about why you brought explosives to archaeology, thank you for such a bombing, I think we should have attracted the attention of the enemy in the hinterland of Loulan by now." Ebony said in a muffled voice.
"Explosives are for the purpose of opening the road...... "Wu Sheng's voice became smaller and quieter.
"No, this is not a mountainous area, so there is no need to ......" Hu Fei sighed, looked back at the group of rioting ants behind him, and sighed, "Forget it, you can be regarded as doing a good deed." ”
"But Boss Wu, what is the enemy you are talking about?" Hu Fei turned his head and asked Wu Muhe.
"It's very simple, it's the guy who forced the desert marching ants out of their original habitat."
"Isn't it? The Desert Marching Ant is an overlord-level existence in the desert......" Wu Sheng was a little puzzled.
"Overlord? No," Ebony smiled lightly, "Isn't there only one overlord on this earth?" ”
After the old man Han Duwei calmed down first, he heard the conversation between the three of them, and immediately said solemnly: "Could it be that someone in Europe has taken the lead?" What instruments or drugs were used to expel the desert marching ants? ”
"Chances are, that's what it looks like." Ebony He's face is not good-looking, now there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, but the desert marching ants behind them eat people and do not spit out bones, although they are temporarily blocked, but there is no way to break through, so continue to move forward and go deeper, which is the only way to survive at present.
This luck is starting to decline......
Ebony raised his eyes to the sky, and it seemed that he was identifying the direction, but in fact, he was seriously investigating the original rich and almost substantial qi of the members of the archaeological team, which had become more and more faint, and it looked like it was about to return to an ordinary level of qi luck, and it was invisible.
And the rising luck in the distance, vaguely seems to be absorbing the luck here, Wu Muhe knows that those enemies who occupy the hinterland of Loulan are estimated to be a group of outlaws, that is, only the crisis of death will make the luck of the lucky archaeological team decline rapidly.
"Well, that means we need to discuss with them before we can conduct Loulan's research? I don't know if they have finished studying all the historical relics over there, but we probably didn't even have soup and water in the past. Hearing the chatting of several people, Associate Professor Hao Ren sighed after relieving himself.
"No, I don't think it's that simple," Han Duwei's old man looked gloomy, "This is in China, Loulan is an ancient relic of China, and I am the first person in our country to choose to go deep into the desert to explore and archaeology Loulan, and before, there was no foreign archaeological team to apply for research here, that is to say, the people there are ......"
"It's all foreign spies!"
With the final word of the old man Han Duwei, the atmosphere of the archaeological team stiffened.
"Will we exchange fire with them? What if someone isn't a spy? It's just a foreign archaeological team taking pictures in the dark, right? Sun Dawu's face turned pale, but he could still speak out, and the others, even the most lively Gao Jia, were all pale.
"Crossfire? It's inevitable," Ebony decided to dispel their luck with a peaceful settlement, "You know, these people have brought in and used everything that can expel the desert marching ants, and it is obvious that they want to stay here, and besides, they are uninvited guests, and in the desert where no one is, in the face of us officials, they will naturally choose to silence to protect their secrets." After all, the desert swallows so many lives every year, and no one would be surprised if an archaeological team disappeared here. ”
Zhao Ding hung his head, Han Yi frowned, Gao Jia stared at Ebony with an expectant face, Li Xiaoice silently closed his eyes with his hands in prayer, Sun Dawu smacked his mouth, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what bad things he was thinking.
Associate Professor Hao Ren and Old Man Han Duwei have seen the world, Wu Sheng and Hu Fei were originally retired soldiers, so after they heard Wu Muhe's words, they were quite calm, although there were more gloomy clouds on their faces, but everyone was still running for their lives at the moment, so they were not ready to say anything.
"Boss Wu, it seems that whether we can survive or not depends on your understanding of this desert!" Old man Han Duwei sighed and said.
"Yes, Boss Wu, if there are any orders in the back, just mention it, Lao Wu and I will fully cooperate!" Hu Fei also looked at Ebony with eagerness.
"......" glanced at the members of the archaeological team who had used themselves as lifesavers, and Ebony nodded silently.
