Chapter 24: On the Mutant Ant Colony
The army's advance went relatively smoothly and there were no major problems, but there were still a few soldiers who died, all of whom were attacked to death by second-order walking corpses. Of course, there are some soldiers who are injured, but they are not infected, as long as they are disinfected. Evolutionaries are no longer infected by the virus because they have been infected and have developed antibodies, just like smallpox.
"Request for support! Request support! The signal soldier looked at the dense mutant ant colony in the distance, and hurriedly shouted into the military walkie-talkie.
There were thirty-five people in this platoon, and except for the communication soldiers, everyone else held up their guns to kill the mutant ants in front of them.
Ahead, there are inky black mutant ants, like a black cloth, with no end in sight. They are the size of an ordinary adult cat, with jet-black armor and powerful jaws like pincers.
At this moment, the platoon commander picked up a machine gun with both hands, and the bullets shot out in a straight line, and suddenly, the first rows of mutant ants suddenly stopped like machines that had lost power, and they could see a pale yellow liquid flowing from their black carapace. The ant colony in the back pushes away the dead companions in front of them and moves on.
The soldiers also raised their rifles and fired intermittently forward, just enough to stop the surging ant tide. Luckily, the platoon was located on a street with no forks, and mutant ants could only rush in from the front to attack them. Otherwise, the mutant ants will besiege them from four directions, and they won't even have scum left now.
A few walking corpses may have just woken up, and their minds are not very clear, and they actually jumped down from the second floor and landed directly in the ant tide. The walking corpse struggled, and several mutant ants were thrown away, but more mutant ants pounced on the walking corpse. It didn't take long for several first-order walking corpses to completely disappear from this world, and even their bones were eaten.
Then, the walking corpses in the buildings on both sides of the street ran out as if they had fled, and some of them, like the previous walking corpses, fell into the ant tide, like a wave, and gradually disappeared in the screams.
And more walking corpses are running towards the soldiers.
The soldiers were a little panicked when they saw a large number of walking corpses running towards them. If it weren't for seeing some walking corpses being eaten by the ant colony, they would have thought that the ant colony and the walking corpse had formed an alliance and were fighting together.
The soldiers hurriedly gave way to the middle of the street. The walking corpses, like frightened animals, did not attack the soldiers, but ran directly through the soldiers in the middle of the street.
"Back off, back off!" The platoon commander shouted. They don't have much ammunition left.
Hearing the order, the soldiers shot and retreated.
At the street behind the soldiers, a tall armored car drove by, and in front of it, the abandoned sedan looked like a child. Behind them were rows of soldiers with rifles, and the armored car was driving slowly, so they trotted along with the armored car.
The soldiers who had retreated from the front were relieved to see that reinforcements had finally arrived, and if they didn't come again, the platoon would be wiped out. After they retreated to the armored vehicles, they immediately replenished the ammunition.
The armored car was in front, and the soldiers slowly walked forward with guns. And ahead, there is an ant tide like the Black Sea.
"Get through." In the armored car, Luo Chen ordered.
With a roar, the armored vehicle picked up speed and rushed forward.
The soldiers behind the car stopped, and several people worked together to push the abandoned vehicles on the side of the road into the middle of the street, forming a barrier. A machine gun was mounted on an abandoned car, while other soldiers hid behind the car with the barrel sticking out.
Eventually, the black wave met armored vehicles. The armored car weighed eighteen tons, and six solid large wheels were solidly pressed down.
Suddenly, the mutant ants were all crushed, and a piece of yellow liquid splashed up, like a wave, on the other mutant ants.
The mutant ants are not made of paper, they climb onto the armored car like a tide, densely packed, covering the whole body of the armored vehicle. From a distance, it looks like a large black protrusion.
With their sharp and powerful palates, these mutant ants frantically tore at the armor of the armored vehicle. However, it didn't work at all, just left scratches on the armor.
The armored vehicles drove the ant colony forward at full speed. The ant colony is as vulnerable as a toy in front of an armored vehicle.
Luo Chen, who was in the car, looked at the scene in front of him and kept sighing, "The armored car is amazing, this has to be changed to a car, and now they may be directly dismantled!" ”
At this time, behind the colony, a group of mutant ants the size of dogs appeared in the field of vision, which was a second-order mutant ant. Among them, there are several larger ones, the size of a sedan, which are third-order.
They didn't move, they were like guards, guarding something.
"Stand back, meet the soldiers behind." These mutant ants in front of him are not easy to deal with at first glance. Or rendezvous with the soldiers behind you, first deal with the large number of first-order mutant ants, and then hit the fire to destroy the high-level mutant ants in front.
As if hearing some order, dozens of second-order mutant ants suddenly rushed towards the retreating armored vehicle.
The armored car was still retreating at a uniform speed, and under the wheels, mutant ants were crushed to death, and the pale yellow liquid was coated all over the body.
The second-order mutant ant came to the armored car, and with a slight force, jumped on the armored car, and then bit the armor with its huge upper jaw.
For a while, the sound of metal clashing was loud, and it was unusually sour to listen to.
They didn't bite through the armor, but they left a series of distinct scratches, as if hacksawed through. They didn't stop, they kept biting, and the marks became more and more obvious, and they all became a little concave.
When Luo Chen and the others in the car heard the harsh sound, they quickly covered their ears. The armored car was sealed, and the sound constantly echoed in the car, which was very uncomfortable.
Luo Chen also thought about opening the car door and going out, waving a Tang knife and beheading them. However, there are not just one or two outside, but dozens, and they are all together, even if they are not very sure, they will all be wiped out without being injured.
The armored car continued to retreat.
Finally, the car was not far from the soldiers behind.
At this moment, the soldiers in the back are shooting mutant ants with rifles and machine guns. Since most of the mutant ants were crushed to death by the wheels of armored vehicles, their pressure was greatly reduced, as if they were mowing grass, sweeping a large area, and of course, the ammunition was also consumed.
Seeing dozens of mutant ants the size of dogs around the retreating armored vehicle, Cao Yu immediately ordered: "Support the armored vehicle immediately." At the same time, he also held the machine gun in both hands and fired.
A dense rain of bullets from the "Sudden ......" struck around the armored vehicles.
The mutant ants in front of the "puff puff ......" were directly beaten into a sieve, and the one behind was also hit by a few bullets, but they were not fatally injured and still moved forward.
Another rain of bullets struck, and in the end, all the two-pole mutant ants fell under the muzzle.
