Chapter Forty-Eight: The Black Scorpion Fights the Marching Ants
Li Mei is a biological expert, and she had seen the corpse of the black scorpion that I had trampled on for a long time, and so many living creatures were pouring out at this time, and she hurriedly shouted to everyone anxiously: "Run, this is the desert black scorpion, this thing is extremely generous, and it will be finished if it is stung by it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tens of thousands of desert black scorpions have filled half of the room, and they are still gushing out from below, and they are about to surround us. Li Mei and Gu Tong were so frightened by this terrifying scene that their legs and stomachs were trembling, where could they still take a step.
Not to mention those intellectuals, even me and the fat man, who have experienced a hundred battles, unconsciously trembled slightly, the desert black scorpion, the most terrifying thing is not only his poison, but more importantly, such a large group of people swarmed here, we are afraid that we will be the same as the bones in these pits, there is no flesh and skin left.
I tried hard to calm down, and when I looked around, Da Chun had already disappeared in a smoke, this old thing, who was still talking about sharing weal and woe with us yesterday, ran away without saying a word when he encountered danger.
Seeing that the guy in our hands couldn't stop the surging black scorpion, he reached out and took out a piece of solid fuel from the backpack on the ground, and smashed it towards the gas lamp on the beam, bang, the gas lamp was smashed to pieces, and a large piece of solid fuel burned in response, and the solid fuel scattered all over the place formed a wall of fire in the house, which could slightly block the momentum of the following desert black scorpion.
The number of black scorpions is too large, seeing that the companions in front of them are burned to death, and the ones behind are still rushing forward one after another, thanks to the combustible nature of solid fuel, but in this situation, solid fuel will be extinguished by these black scorpions sooner or later.
Taking advantage of this effort, we took the equipment and luggage, and even dragged out of the broken fort, the wind and sand outside was already very small, but after the wind and sand, there were countless yellow sheep, wild camels, sand wolves and other desert animals, just out of the broken fort, the desert black scorpion swarmed out of the hole, and instantly covered the ground outside the entire ancient castle.
The toxin of a desert black scorpion can not kill people, in the face of wild camels that are much larger than people, the sand wolf can not have much effect, but this overwhelming black scorpion emerges at the same time, not to mention people, elephants can't bear it, some sand wolves and yellow sheep who react a little slower, they don't have time to struggle and fall to the ground, and after the black scorpion, there are only red and white white bones.
There were thousands of desert black scorpions gushing out of the hole, we seemed to have stabbed the scorpion nest, we stood on the roof, facing the black scorpions that climbed up, we could only keep waving the sapper shovel in our hands, sweeping down like sweeping the floor.
Looking back, Li Guohua's two subordinates, there is only one left, and the other has long been unknown where to run, I was still worried that he was stung to death by the black scorpion, when the fat man pointed to the city wall in the distance: "Boss Li, look, is that your dog's leg?" ”
Li Guohua raised his eyes and looked, almost fainted, only to see that the second child was untying the rope of the camel, preparing to slip away, he didn't intend to care about his life and death at all, Li Guohua picked up the American-made M16 automatic rifle in his hand, and it was a strafing shot, which Li Guohua didn't know if he was stunned, or if his marksmanship was really so bad, and he didn't hit a shot when he ran out of bullets.
The fat man was afraid that he would run away, so he picked up the gun in his hand and was ready to fight, I quickly said to the fat man, break his reins, don't let him run away, "snap" a gunshot, the reins in the old second-hand were broken in response, so frightened that he sat on the ground and looked back at the people on the roof.
I shouted at him: "Second brother, your old boss said that if you don't want to die, hurry up and find a way to kill us, or the next shot will be your head." ”
The second child nodded again and again, signaling that he would not run. But his feet are no longer obedient, don't talk about saving us at all, the fat man glanced at the second child and said to Li Guohua: "Boss Li, you are the bodyguard you found in that cottage, you dare to invite you even if you have the guts?" ”
I looked around again, because the wind and sand will stop, the vision is much better, but I didn't see Da Chun's figure, this old guy has already run, after thinking about it, I feel wrong, more than 20 camels are there, even if he wants to run, he should ride a camel, with his feet in the desert is no different from looking for death.
I shouted to the second child again: "Second child, your boss said, let you go to Dachun first..." Seeing this scene, I laughed again, because of the wind and sand, the city wall is not much exposed, just enough for half a person to be tall, Da Chun was the first to run out of the broken castle and wanted to untie the camel and slip first, but I didn't expect the second child to follow, he had to hide behind the wall, just the shot that the fat man put down, he also saw it in his eyes, but he didn't dare to squeak.
This old thing, really fucking cunning, thought that I would have nothing to do with you if I hid behind the wall, I estimated that at least five or six of the reins of those batches of camels had been untied at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the camels didn't move, just Li Guohua's bullet just now, they would have run away.
The broken castle is covered with desert black scorpions, and we can't get down for the time being, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it, if we really get to that point, shoot the old fox first. Suddenly, the castle under our feet shook violently, and the black scorpions that surrounded us retreated in all directions, and everyone stood unsteadily, and sat on the ground with their butts.
A big guy the size of a lamb with six pairs of wings suddenly broke through the ground, and the desert black scorpions all stepped back, and there was not a single black scorpion within a radius of five meters from the big guy, I turned my head to look at Li Mei with questions, Li Mei stared at the big guy with a pale face at this time, I knew that this guy was a difficult master.
Emma's face was also very ugly: "It's the queen of the desert marching ants, it's bad..."
Although this ant is big, there is only one, and it is not as bad as she said: "It's just one, little fat, it's time to test your marksmanship, shoot it in the head, kill it." ”
Emma pressed down the muzzle of the fat man's gun and said: "The queen ant is out, there will definitely be a bunch of soldier ants behind, don't worry, let them fight, and then we will take the opportunity to run." ”
The fat man said, "It's a fart, as soon as the female ants show their heads, the scorpions all run away." ”
Li Mei listened to Emma's words, and her pale face improved slightly: "Don't worry, the Scorpion Emperor hasn't come out yet, the habits of the desert black scorpion and the marching ants are different, the black scorpion doesn't like to migrate, the desert temperature is high during the day, bury yourself under the sand to avoid the heat, come out at night to move, if someone invades the territory during the day, they will not hesitate to come out to fight back, the marching ants are completely opposite, water and fire are incompatible." ”
Just like the farming civilization and nomadic civilization in ancient China, the nomads are like marching ants, living in pursuit of water and grass, running wherever there is meat, looting everywhere they go, leaving no grass behind, and the desert black scorpion is like the southern farming people, stubbornly guarding their own little place.
As soon as Li Mei's words landed, a large group of fist-sized marching ants poured out from the place where the queen ant came out, and the broken castle also shook violently, and a black scorpion larger than the queen ant came out of the broken castle and brought up a burst of dust. As soon as the two sides met, they lined up, and the top of the fort where we were was right in the middle of the confrontation between the two sides. As long as either side initiates the first attack, we will all be cannon fodder.
Seeing this momentum on both sides, the faces of everyone in the castle changed color, and Emma shouted: "Capture the thief first, capture the king first, shoot them quickly, and we will run while we are in chaos." ”
I patted Emma and the fat man on the automatic rifle and said to Emma, "If you can't shoot a single shot, we people will be meat on the chopping board, just waiting to be cooked." "That being said, the fat man and Emma fired a few shots on one side, and as I expected, both sides attacked us as soon as they saw the leader's injury.
In a hurry, I took out all the flammable items such as solid fuel and alcohol from my bag, took out a lighter, lit it, and smashed it out as an incendiary bomb.
The queen ant and the scorpion emperor were smashed, and although the wind was small at this time, the dry desert was enough to blow the fire, and the fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the two huge fireballs rolled on the ground in an instant, and the more the fire burned, the bigger it burned. Alcohol and compressed fuel were mixed together, and they could burn for at least ten minutes, and the camps of both sides exploded in an instant, and the surrounding soldiers and generals all desperately crawled on the leader, hoping to extinguish the fire with their numbers.
I saw that the opportunity was coming, beckoned to everyone, took the equipment and jumped off the broken castle first, the fat man carried Li Mei on his back, and after the third child broke off, he rushed out along the gap between the two sides.
Da Chun didn't know when to lead the camel out, everyone climbed on the camel, urging the camel team to run out, there were wild beasts jumping out from time to time, these are usually your life and death guys, at this time no one can care about anyone, they are desperately running away, not everyone can see the yellow sheep and sand wolves running for their lives in a team, without interfering with each other.
The caravan had traveled hundreds of meters, and when we looked back, the ruins of the ruined fort of the ancient city were no longer visible, and only two clouds of black smoke were still proving that we had been there. Countless marching ants and desert black scorpions, like rolling waves, are constantly swarming in our direction at this time. It's just a little far away, and it doesn't pose any threat to us for the time being. It is not easy for two species with completely different habits to get together at this moment because of our arrival, and maybe our arrival will allow them to live in peace in the future.
Seeing that there was no danger, Da Chun took out the Buddha beads and kept chanting this Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, explaining that he went out first because so many of us have so many good equipment, and we must be able to deal with these small insects, but the camel is not good, and we can't run away if we are tied there, and if we are willing to become bones, none of us can run away, not that we have to run for our lives.
