After receiving the order to rest in place, Mu Qianhe got out of the car, leaned against the stone wall on the inside of the platform with his hands on his chest, and closed his eyes to recuperate. She hadn't closed her eyes since the moment she left the Dawn Fortress, and with the previous battles and the continuous rush, she was already a little sleepy. But now was not the time to sleep, so she could only take a nap and regain a little energy.

In fact, Iron Slag originally disagreed with her coming, because the mecha could not be used in the bottomless abyss, and she was an ordinary woman, not only could not play the role of an ace pilot, but also had many inconveniences. But she insisted on coming, and the iron slag only persuaded her twice, but failed to convince her, so she didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescence. She knew him, and she knew that he was used to having women around, so as long as she insisted, she could get his approval.

At the same time, she also knows her strengths, she is not as weak as Qin Ke'er, and she is not as delicate as Eva Green and Mu Yuqin. To put it bluntly, it is her cost-effective, her life is not so valuable, and her strength is not bad, just like the wolf-style mecha produced by Wilderness Heavy Industries, which can run and jump, fight and resist, although the overall performance is average, but the price is moderate and worth the money. In terms of self-perception and identity, she is a smart woman, both realistic and clear. Over the years, it is precisely because of this self-aware wisdom that she has been able to maintain a long-term and stable relationship with Assistant Green, who is much higher than her.

But what she didn't know was that in this regard, she was very much like Ye Xinling back then, and because of this, she won the trust and closeness of the iron slag. If the slight similarities between her and Lena were the opportunity for them to meet, then what she and Ye Xinling have in common is the reason why they were finally able to come together and climb into the same bed. It's just that compared with the former, she is more kind and less ruthless.

In the midst of her thoughts, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her ears. Originally, she didn't care, thinking it was just an illusion. But as time passed, the thin sound not only did not disappear, but became denser and clearer. She quickly realized the problem, and then frowned and listened carefully, trying to find out where the source of the sound was.

"Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la ......" A thin soft sound seemed to come from the stone wall behind her, and after discovering this, she quickly turned her body sideways and attached the sound wave receiver on her helmet to the stone wall.

"Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... "As she approached, the movement in the stone wall became clear, and the sound was like the soft sound of countless thin bamboo sticks falling on the stone.......

"Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la...... Da la la la......"

As the minutes passed, the movement in the stone wall became louder and louder, as if thousands of bamboo sticks were striking hard objects at the same time. It was only at this time that Mu Qianhe finally heard it, his face turned pale, he instinctively took a step back, and shouted loudly: "Be careful! There are abyssal termites! Repeat! Be careful! There are abyssal termites! ”

"Prepare the flamethrower! Come on! Mu Qianhe shouted anxiously.

But just before she could finish speaking, the stone wall in front of her suddenly trembled, and with a sound of "bang, la, la, ......", it collapsed with her head covered in her face. She hurriedly leaped backwards, avoiding the falling gravel. Then, centered on the stone wall in front of her, the collapse quickly extended to both sides.

"Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa......"

In an instant, the sand and gravel collapsed, the smoke and dust were filled, and the surrounding stone walls continued to span a large area.

"Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter twitter......twitter"

With the collapse of the stone wall, dense screams came from inside, piercing people's eardrums. At the same time, a large number of termites poured out of the landslide, and the number was indescribable, and the scalp of the human body was tingling.

They were the size of newborn calves, dragging their bulging milky bellies out of the deep pits in the back. Crammed together in layers, they swayed their long tentacles and shook their triangular heads, their mouthparts split in four lobes, covered with tiny fangs, and brandished their scythe-like forefeet, which screeched at humans with fangs and claws.

Seeing the seeping sight, a panicked Marine ripped off the fragmentation grenade hanging on his chest and was about to bite open the pull tab and smash it out.

"Don't use grenades!" And just a moment before the former made a move, Mu Qianhe, whose face was a little pale, happened to see it, and hurriedly shouted, the use of grenades in this kind of place will cause a larger area of landslides at any time. If one is not careful, all of them will be buried here.

At the same time, termite colonies gathered at the site of the collapse rushed towards the humans.

"Flamethrower! Flamethrower! After stopping the bomb-dropping soldiers, Mu Qianhe looked at the swarming termite colony and shouted loudly as he retreated.

However, she had barely taken a few steps back when a figure passed by her and crashed headlong into the termite colony. Suddenly, I saw the figure with a pale golden luster using fists and feet, like a harvester breaking into the flock, sweeping the termites around him to pieces, and the stumps and broken arms flew in all directions.

Then, Jerome, Match, Tuobasan, Marcus, Hillman, Billy, and Yudith joined the warband, and soon crushed the termite colony that broke out of the gap. These abyssal termites look terrifying, but in fact, they are like lambs in front of the power armor warriors, and they are powerless.

Then, the marines with fuel cylinders on their backs and flamethrowers returned to the gap in the cave-in, stood in a row, raised the fire nozzles more than one meter long, and injected high-pressure fuel into them.

"Raging Turbulence......

With a violent eruption, flames poured into the darkness, burning the inside of the stone wall red.

"Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter...... Twitter twitter......twitter"

The terrible hiss suddenly resounded through the platform, far away. It didn't take long for there to be no sound in the collapse site. When the temperature dropped, the Marines walked into the gap with their flamethrowers and sprayed through the holes around them for a while.

Subsequently, Iron Slag dismissed the marines and took Bai Xiaoyun and Jerome to investigate the situation. Abyssal termites are not very lethal, but they are one of the most troublesome abyssal species for humans.

To be precise, they, like humans, like to dig their nests on cliffs. As the saying goes, peers are like enemy countries, and abyssal termites are the henchmen of human fortresses. It's less than twenty kilometers from the Thinker's Fortress, and according to textbooks, the nests of abyssal termites can stretch for hundreds of kilometers. This means that, if left unchecked, the anthill is likely to be dug up.

"What do you think?" Iron Slag pretended to look at the tunnel where the termites were digging, and asked seemingly casually. His knowledge of the abyss was limited to Eva Green's individual tutoring. On the one hand, the latter doesn't have much personal time, and he doesn't spend a few days with him; On the other hand, two people of the opposite sex are in the same room, and they are lovers, so it is inevitable to do something else.

As a result, his abyssal course only goes to the "introduction" part, and does not go deep into the specific "content". He knew what most of the creatures in the Abyss looked like, could name them, and how they attacked, but he didn't know anything about habits and the like.

"Hmm......" Jerome said after looking at the corridor for a while, "judging from the number and the width of the corridor, this is a medium-sized anthill, and I think it is very likely to endanger the fortress twenty kilometers away." ”

"I'm in favor, we must find a way to eradicate them, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future." Bai Xiaoyun squatted on the ground, rummaging through a relatively intact, blackened termite corpse and said, "This is the abyssal termites of the second metamorphosis period, and judging from the development process of the worker ants, they will soon enter the third metamorphosis period, and I am afraid that it will be more troublesome at that time." ”

"Huh?" Iron Slag glanced at Bai Xiaoyun, who immediately understood and explained in detail.

The abyssal termites in the third metamorphosis period are also called iron-eating termites. Not only can they devour iron ore and grow iron insect shells, but they can also dig slowly through hard stone areas, making them a natural enemy of human fortresses.

In order to avoid being blamed, Bai Xiaoyun gave a brief explanation of the subsequent morphology of abyssal termites.

The abyssal termites in the fourth metamorphosis period are also called soul-devouring termites. As the name suggests, it is a termite that can devour spiritual ore, absorb spiritual star sand, and grow spiritual wings. The fifth metamorphosis is called oil-eating termites, which are termites that can devour black oil and spit out high-temperature flames.

Normally, the abyssal termites of the first and second stages of metamorphosis pose a relatively small threat to human fortresses, while the third and fourth stages of metamorphosis pose the greatest threat, and as for the fifth metamorphosis, there is no threat. Because the abyssal termites in the fifth metamorphosis period have a certain amount of intelligence, they will actively avoid the realm of powerful creatures, such as demon dragons, archdemons, human fortresses, etc.

"And then?" Iron Slag asked. He was concerned with what to do with the situation at hand, not what the advanced form of the Abyssal Termites could do.

"Commander, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, I will build yì We will go back to the fortress first, and after we settle down, we will send someone over to explore." Jerome explains, "The way to do this is to shoot trackers into the bodies of surviving termite workers to look at the structure and condition of the entire nest. ”

Iron Slag thought for a while, and then agreed with Jerome.

Actually, he had other ideas, he had scout ants, trackers or something, it was completely unnecessary. After the personnel were arranged, he came alone, but it was more convenient.
