Chapter Twenty-Nine: Man-Eating Ants
It has been more than three hours since the start of the exam......
During this time, countless candidates have clashed with xenos or other common creatures, some of them injured and some killed...... According to the information fed back by the terminal, there are only 2,288 candidates who are still alive, and more than 200 candidates have been buried here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFor those candidates who died, it is impossible for the association to give the camera every time it is broadcast, but it will release a rolling message to express condolences......
However, the association will not be responsible for the loss of the candidates' lives, because participating in the exam and fighting against xenomorphism is completely voluntary behavior of the candidates, and everyone has signed a waiver agreement before the exam. At most, out of humanitarian reasons, the association will try its best to collect the bones of the candidates and transport them back to their hometowns to soothe the grief of their families......
Of course, since there are deaths, there are also excellent performances and achievements. So far, the research base has received more than 500 xenomorphs from candidates, but most of them have only sent one, and a few have sent two. Only six of them actually sent three xenos and completed the test!
The duo of Ling Xinzhu and Ah Han were the first to complete the exam. Behind them was a well-mannered man from the Continent of Hope, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and judging from the battle records, the weapon he used was a scalpel, perhaps a doctor himself.
The fourth place is the twelve-year-old boy from Tiandu with Shi Tao, although he is young, his abnormal abilities are unusually strong, and the ability beast crushed him throughout the whole process, and easily caught three xenomorphs.
The fifth place is a blonde white girl with a sniper rifle on her back, with huge goggles on her face, and she can't see her face clearly, but judging by the shape of her face, it shouldn't be bad.
The sixth place is an old man who lives on a single crutch, looking at his appearance, he even struggles to walk, and he really doesn't know how to catch the xenomorphs......
In addition to them, more than 2,000 other candidates are all working the island.
Belch...... It doesn't seem appropriate to say that it is hard work, because some people have a more relaxed attitude than traveling......
"Come on, come on, come this way again!" Shi Tao pulled the giant dragonfly's head and let it gradually pull it down......
In the past few hours, Shi Tao has been flying around on the back of a dragonfly. But he's not bored playing, he's experimenting.
The island's ecology is very different from that of other parts of the world, and it is home to a variety of giant insects. If it's all land reptiles like ants and cockroaches, wouldn't dragonflies and locusts, insects that can fly long distances, leave the island and fly somewhere else?
So Shi Tao simply controlled the Titan Giant Fly to the sea, wanting to try if he could leave. As a result, after flying ten kilometers away from the island, the dragonfly suddenly began to spin, and no matter what, it did not move forward, and it continued to tremble as it flew. After flying back for a while, everything was back to normal.
Shi Tao controlled the dragonfly to fly in other directions, almost circumnavigating the island, and finally came to a conclusion. Some kind of special device has been installed around this Carboniferous Island, which can send out some kind of signal that frightens the flying insects, so that they dare not leave the island, and just wait to squint on the island.
Thinking of this, Shi Tao simply drove the dragonfly back to the island.
"It's time to start looking for xenos, too! Counting this big dragonfly, there are still two left! Shi Tao drove the dragonfly over the trees, and suddenly, his eyes moved, and he noticed something in the forest, so he lowered the height of the dragonfly, intending to take a closer look.
At this time, on the big screen in the studio, a battle of people and insects is being broadcast live!
In a clearing by a stream, there were more than 20 candidates, surrounded by tens of thousands of ants. These ants are more than ten centimeters long, larger than mice, red all over, and have a pair of sharp jaws on their big heads, which snap when they close!
Up to now, the candidates have also been divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the powerful ones have almost completed the task, and the weaker ones have either died, or they have all realized the harshness of the exam, and slowly began to form a team to help each other complete the task.
These more than 20 people are definitely a considerable team, but now, they have encountered an army of ants with an even larger number......
These candidates were all wounded, and in the face of the ants who followed one after another, one of the fire control ability used the flames to build a circle of defense, and the ants rushed into the flames and were burned to the crackle, which can be regarded as stopping the momentum of the siege. But the flames of the ability always need fuel to burn continuously, and the humid climate here is not flammable, and they are forced to the water's edge, with pebbles under their feet, so there is nothing to burn. It didn't take long for the wall of flames to go out on its own, and it didn't take long for the flame controller to be exhausted.
As for the others, several of them have basically run out of bullets, and those who use melee weapons do not dare to go up to fight, if you kill one, ten will pounce on you, and the big teeth will secrete formic acid when they bite into the flesh, and the pain is unbearable.
At present, the main force against the ant colony is a candidate who can attack with compressed air, and whenever the ant colony approaches, he releases an air bomb to blow the ants away. Relying on him, everyone was finally spared the fate of being killed for the time being.
"It looks like these candidates are in quite some trouble!" In the studio, Zheng Xingchen explained.
Professor Davey nodded: "There has always been a debate about which one of the insects has the strongest single combat ability. But if you want to fight in a group, ants are the king! Now these candidates are facing man-eating ants, one of the most ferocious ants in the world, with a body size of only one to two centimeters, and they are already terrifying super killers! Now that they are a thousand times larger, their power has increased considerably. If these candidates don't have any powerful abilities, I'm afraid they will be more than lucky......"
Shu Xinyi seemed a little unbearable: "They are only a few dozen meters away from the river, if they can risk death and rush into the water, they should be able to escape and ascend to heaven......
Dr. Davey nodded in agreement, "Man-eating ants can't swim, but that short distance is already full of ants, and with the power of giant man-eating ants, they may be killed if they can't run to the river!" If someone were willing to sacrifice, maybe half of them would have managed to escape, but the candidates ......" as he said, the doctor shook his head, obviously, it was impossible for them to sacrifice themselves......
Just when everyone was expressing their pity for these candidates who were about to pass away, a huge shadow flashed in the camera, and the drones shot at high altitude were shaken by the air current!
"That's ......" The eyes of several people in the studio widened in surprise: "Isn't that the 2333 candidate?" ”
That's right, what suddenly appeared in the camera was Shi Tao, who was driving the Titan Giant Dragonfly!
