"Failed? Just a few people from the treacherous commandos ran back, is the news reliable? The figure on the couch sat up straight.

"Boss, the news is reliable, this time the mercenaries of Iron Claw suffered heavy losses, lost more than 40 sets of power armor and two magnetic track walking tanks, all the troops were wiped out, and several people died," said the secretary-like man next to the sofa with great certainty.

"I have warned them a long time ago, our caravan must do things in accordance with the rules, how much compensation they give Iron Claw, how much support we provide, they are good, with the caravan credit as collateral, they have lent out all the magnetic track tanks, this is good, the direct loss, a tank is worth nearly a million, those two mercenary organizations will never be able to compensate."

"Boss, do you want our caravan to ...... The Mecana Chamber of Commerce has been working hard to invite more caravans to join the operation. ”

"Of course not, those idiot drug dealers only know the immediate benefits, they don't understand the essence of doing business at all, I said earlier, it's right to support Iron Claw and Trickery, but the strength must not be large, let them and the Sisterhood continue to fight, and then keep bleeding, pretend that there is discord within our business association, and resell weapons to both sides at the same time, this will become a steady stream of business, not only to weaken the role of the Sisterhood, but also to control the two organizations of Iron Claw and Spirit, but look at them, What did those stupid drug dealers do? Actually put all their strength into it, regardless of the cost, it's really stupid to sell medicine, I think they should take some medicine to nourish the brain. ”

"It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that, aren't they winning all the time?" The secretary flipped through the report in confusion, "It seems that the Sisterhood has few strongholds. ”

"So you are the secretary and I am the boss, the account is not calculated like this", the middle-aged man on the sofa had a serious face, he didn't say some words, judging from the data, the sisters suffered heavy losses, there were only six of the forty strongholds left, and they were about to be destroyed, but they really counted down, but there were not many sisters who died, especially the core members, and one did not die, this is the big trouble, this kind of killer thief organization is the real threat to the shadows, he secretly shook his head, forget it, the business alliance was originally a loose organization with a combination of interests, "You go and check carefully, the whole process of the battle, I really can't figure it out, the magnetic track walking tank can't be completely destroyed by a few rockets, not to mention the protection of the heavy shield armored knight, are those idiots of Iron Claw driving a tank to clear mines."

"Okay boss."

……

The same conversation took place in another place, but the subject was not so calm, "Can you tell me what it is that can destroy the Railtank under the protection of a group of vigilant Heavy Shield Power Armored Knights, you Iron Claw will not be stupid enough to drive the tank to the minefield to crush the road?" ”

"It's a weapon I've never seen before," a treacherous commando leader grimaced, "a glowing green munition, like some kind of acid bomb, the power armor and the armor of the rail-mounted tank couldn't hold it at all, and it melted away in no more than twenty breaths." ”

"Impossible, the shield of the heavy shield power armor has undergone special anti-corrosion treatment, and there is no acid that can directly and completely melt the power armor, if the shield is broken, throw away the shield, and the armor itself will not be dissolved without being stained with acid, this kind of ablation you said is absolutely impossible, otherwise there is something wrong with your battle report, and the battle report says that the front row of heavy shield knights were attacked and found in time and raised the shield to defend", Tiz angrily slapped the report book on the table.

"The report is correct, it may not be acid, the evacuation was in a hurry, that kind of thing will melt whether it gets on metal or flesh, it is too powerful, it is an extremely terrible scene, I have never seen such a murderous weapon."

"New weapon, damn it, it must be a new weapon! Didn't you treacherous say that you had found a clue to that weapon master in the Western Continent? Tiz couldn't figure it out either, so it could only be boiled down to the new weapon.

"There is a suspicion, but he has been staying in the shop in the city of sails, and he has no chance to find out if there is anyone behind him, so it is not good to do it directly", there are some words that the strange spirit can't really say, he is not a scout on the front line, and their people have not found the factory or laboratory behind the weapons shop, and there are no tools in that small shop except for models and a few finished products, so the judgment of their spies is very likely that the man is just an agent pushed by the weapon master.

"Sometimes you have to be more decisive", Tiz is not sure of his idea, there is not much information to provide his judgment, the relationship between the Western Business Federation and the Southern Business Federation is not very good, and the competition between the two sides is fierce, especially in recent years, the South always wants to extend its hand to the Western Business Federation, and some news is deliberately blocked by the Western Business Federation.

"President Tiz, can you support us with another batch of power armor and magnetic track tanks, the Sisterhood has few strongholds, and they can be completely wiped out immediately", the burly man with metal prosthetics finally found a chance to interject.

"Our few chambers of commerce can't get new weapons and equipment for the time being", Tiz didn't even look at the strong man with iron claws, he was beaten by more than two dozen little sisters with light weapons, and he also threw the valuable magnetic track walking tanks there, it was really a waste, I couldn't afford to support it, the other three chambers of commerce who joined the operation had very big opinions, and it hurt Tiz to lose such a big loss, and these idiots of Iron Claw had nothing else in their minds except muscles and steel, and they had to bring more caravans in and take the risk together.

……

In the secret stronghold under the Sail City Sisterhood, there is a lot of chaos at the moment, and the little sisters are dancing to drive away seven or eight mutant giant ants, these ants are smaller than the mutant ant ants, they should be worker ants.

"Catch it, that big ant is stealing our food!"

The worker ants did not seem to be very harmful, at least they did not have a clear attack trend, but quickly carried the food in the little sisters' warehouse, and a group of little sisters were disrupted by the workers scurrying in all directions, and several worker ants had already disappeared into a small passage they had dug out carrying pieces of meat and other food......

When Lin Ze came to the stronghold, he saw a certain girl lying on the ground and reaching out to find something in a hole in the ground.

"Damn stinky ants, return this woman's cow baba!" The girl cried with a sad little face, and when she arrived, she only saw her beloved Niu Baba for the last time, and then disappeared into the small passage dug out of the side of the hall by this mutant ant, "Bad guy~~ Cow Baba...... Niu Baba was snatched away by stinky ants~" Lexi's face was full of grievances, and she whimpered, "This woman, a piece of ...... I didn't have time to eat a piece~"

Lin Ze rolled his eyes speechlessly, can you blame me for not marinating it for too short a time, he looked at the newly opened passage of the ant, damn it, this ant is so rampant now? Holes were dug everywhere, and the Sisterhood's stronghold didn't know how many times it had suffered, and it was useless to close the underground escape route.

"I'll go to the mission bulletin board and take a look", is it just because the little sister's stronghold is underground, Lin Ze feels that something is wrong.

The streets of Fancheng are much quieter than before, and the effect of the ant control tax is extremely obvious, especially in reducing the number of merchants.

"Quick, kill that ant, it bit my clerk!" After a few steps, a few people rushed out of a shop on the ground floor of the shop area, chasing after a mutant worker ant with a hammer, and a fat guy stood at the door of the store waving his arms to command.

This mutant ant is a little rampant, Lin Ze thought secretly, it can be seen on the street where people come and go, and he walked quickly to the entrance of an underground drainage channel in the port area of Fancheng, which is the area where the bulletin board of the ant removal order is hung.

20 caps on the back shell of ordinary worker ants, 40 caps on ordinary soldier ants, 80 caps on winged ants, 200 caps on queen ants, and double the price of special mutant ants, this is the reward order on the bulletin board, Lin Ze also noticed that next to the bulletin board, there are several shelves with some goods on them.

"Huh, another bounty hunter? Hey, boy, mutant ants are not so easy to deal with, the iron pipe gun is useless, come and see it here, the most effective ant removal suit", a clever hawker on the side of the shelf greeted Lin Ze warmly.

"Oh, how can you tell I'm a bounty hunter?" Lin Ze's mind moved slightly, and he immediately straightened his chest like a rookie.

The peddler's eyes lit up, and a stunned young man who was traveling alone and dreaming of making a fortune had a confident smile on his face, "I have very vicious eyes, and you bounty hunters with murderous aura can see it at a glance." ”

"Haha, that's right, amazing~" Lin Ze admitted the praise with murderous aura on his face.

"But the mutant ants in this sail city are different from the wild," the peddler said in a low tone, looking mysterious.

"What's different, I'm a mutant beast killer in the wild, I don't know how many mutant ants I killed", Lin Ze shook his head slightly, his face full of unconvinced.

"The ants are almost the same, but this terrain is far behind, the space is too small, there are a lot of mutant ants, and the weapons to deal with ants in the wild are not easy to use here."

"Oh? My marksmanship is excellent. ”

The peddler's eyes flashed with disdain, and he sighed, "It's not a matter of marksmanship, what we want here is the back shell, and if you shoot and break the back shell, you won't get the money, so it's better to buy a hammer and knock it on the spot." ”

"It seems to be too", Lin Ze hesitated, "How much?" ”

"20 bottle caps, you only need to knock an ant to death and you will earn it back immediately", the vendor happily recommended.

"That makes sense, then I'...... I'll just buy a hammer, by the way, how many people have been going down lately? Lin Ze pretended to have a painful expression, trembling and digging out 20 bottle caps from his pocket, counting them several times before handing them over.

"There are quite a few, but most of them do not listen to the persuasion and go down with iron pipe guns, but very few really get a profit," said the peddler, vigorously touting his weapons.

Lin Ze took the hammer, nodded, and then turned around and walked into the entrance of the sewer.

A faint rancid smell filled the air, just climbed a vertical ladder, and the eye was not far away from the obvious ant channel on the wall of the underground waterway, the underground drainage system of Sail City had long been abandoned, if it weren't for the mutant ants this time, I'm afraid few people would be willing to come, a few wandering worker ants felt that someone was coming, and quickly got into the ant road and disappeared.

There was no trace of other bounty hunters here, Lin Ze quickly turned into a little spider according to the plan before he came, he didn't come to hide and seek in this sewer, he had already thought about quietly investigating the progress and strength of the ant eradication in Xiafan City, to see how many mutant ants were left, so some burdens were placed in the stronghold.

A hammer in the corner was left behind, and the little spider burrowed into a rancid antway.

The ant road is complicated, extending in all directions, it is simply a labyrinth, and it is completely impossible to identify the road, Lin Ze can only choose to rely on his sense of smell to start from the source of the rancid smell, this rancid smell is not the smell that the sewer should have that has not been used for a long time, but it is like the smell of something rotting.

The palm-sized spider and the mutant ant are very different in size, but their combat power is not the same, and along the way he uses his sharp knife foot to cut down any stunned bug that dares to use it as food.

Corpse! Drill out one by one, in an aisle of the sewer not far away, several white bones lie in it, the smell of rancid is very strong, judging from the fragments of torn clothes, it should be a few bounty hunters, damn it, the food is really clean, only the dried blood and white bones remain, it seems that the task of removing ants does not seem to be as smooth as the official claim of Sail City.

Lin Ze got into another ant road, the rancid smell became stronger and stronger, he walked and stopped all the way, the mutant ants here are probably not so simple, he saw several strange mutant ants, different from ordinary worker ants, but with some strange colors, mutant ants in different mutation directions, it was really eye-opening, and those large number of midges, mutant ants also have various mutant species.

Lin Ze didn't recklessly shoot again, the number of ants encountered here is increasing, and he is no longer an individual acting alone, he let go of his soul power perception, and dodged several groups of patrolling mutant ants, I don't know how long he walked, and finally came to a place where the rancid smell was so strong that he was suffocating.

Oh my God, is this the Devil's Sacrificial Pool? Lin Ze was stunned, this terrifying scene, the huge underground space that was dug out, was full of rotten corpses, and viscous blood mixed with the ground under the corpses, like a pool, all kinds of rotten and semi-rotten animal remains, as well as a large number of human corpses, vomit~

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of corpses in this cave-building space of at least 8,000 square meters, and there is a steady stream of mutant ants carrying in newly captured corpses from the ant paths in all directions, no! It's impossible, there are at least more than eight hundred human corpses, and there are definitely not so many bounty hunters in Sail City.

It's terrifying, this mutant ant colony is too huge, this is their food warehouse, could it be that the mutant ants in the neighborhood belong to this ant colony? Where do so many animals come from near Sail City?

Could it be that he has already come to the outside of Sail City along the ant road? The sense of direction in the underground is missing, and Lin Ze is not sure how far he has walked along the ant road, what should he do now? Report this nest? It's useless, those profiteers in Fan City won't care about these damn ants, if it weren't for the ants that have already climbed to Fan City, they won't even pay for a reward.

Lin Ze was hiding in the corner thinking when suddenly, a shocking roar came from above his head......
