Chapter 25: Among the Mutant Ant Colonies
At this moment, the body of the armored car is covered with obvious scratches, and some of them are slightly pitted. The rifle bullets only left a small dot on the armor, and they still left obvious marks, which shows how sharp and powerful the upper jaws of these mutant ants are.
However, the armored car is completely fine, such a small scar is just a pediatric in wartime, even if one or two wheels are broken, it can still be driven back, and then it can be repaired and it can go to the battlefield again.
Seeing that his companion was killed, the high-level mutant ants on the opposite side did not react, as if the dead were just some robots, dispensable.
Originally, the first-order mutant ants on this street were almost killed by Luo Chen and the others, however, the large supermarket guarded by the high-level mutant ants suddenly poured out a steady stream of first-order mutant ants, as if they were endless.
Not long after, the entire street was filled with mutant ants again. They didn't attack, they stood by, as if waiting for orders.
"It seems that that supermarket should be a large ant nest, and there must be a queen ant commanding them!" At this moment, Luo Chen was standing beside the armored car with a Tang knife in his hand.
After that, there were a large number of soldiers, two or three hundred. Upstairs, there were also soldiers, with rifles and machine guns mounted on the window edges, all aimed at the colony. These soldiers came to support later, and rushed over as soon as the order was received.
Behind the soldiers, there are more than a dozen personnel carriers, and once the troops are defeated by the ant colony, all the soldiers will immediately retreat by car.
"What should I do?" Looking at the black and oppressive ant colony in front of him, Luo Chen muttered to himself. It's tricky! If it's just a huge number of first-order mutant ants, it's easier to solve. But there are high-level mutant ants in the back, it is not easy to deal with, if you force an attack, even if you win, you will pay a lot of casualties.
"If we had known that this would happen, we should have brought in an artillery battery when we set off, and a salvo might have been able to deal with them." Cao Yu in the armored car sighed. This was a mistake made by the military department for not carefully understanding the situation at the beginning, thinking that there were only walking corpses and a small number of mutated animals in the city, and all the problems could be solved with rifles and machine guns.
The two sides confronted each other, and neither moved.
In the tense waiting, the other two armored vehicles also drove over, three armored vehicles side by side, the front of the car pointed at the ant colony in front.
At the moment, the street is unusually quiet, except for the rustle of debris in the wind. The soldiers clenched their guns and their eyes were fixed on the front, ready to fight at any moment.
More than ten minutes passed, and there was still no movement.
At this time, the ant colony was slowly retreating, slowly swarming into the supermarket, like a low tide.
When Luo Chen and the others saw this scene, they were all puzzled, why did they suddenly retreat? I thought there would be a life-and-death battle. However, it is good that no soldiers will be sacrificed. It's not easy to train a qualified soldier, let alone now, so every one of these soldiers is a treasure.
Even when the ant colony retreated, the soldiers did not relax, and who knows if they really retreated.
"Forward." At this time, Luo Chen ordered. In his opinion, the retreat of the ant colony means that they do not consider themselves opponents and want to protect themselves, let the troops advance, and see how they react.
With a low roar, the armored car slowly set off, and the soldiers behind followed closely behind, the muzzles of the soldiers upstairs moving the barrels of their guns as the ants receded.
Seeing that the other party was actually advancing towards us, the retreating ant colony suddenly stopped. The palate is wide open, and the collective "hiss" makes a strange and strange cry, which is a warning to the enemy: if you go one step further, there will be only life and death fighting.
"Stop!" At this moment, Luo Chen walked in front of the armored car, waved his right hand backwards, and at the same time, ordered.
Immediately, both the armored vehicles and the soldiers slowly stopped.
Seeing that the enemy really stopped, the ant colony stopped the demonstrative threat.
Some of the ant colonies continued to swarm into the supermarket, slowly and orderly.
When all the first-order mutant ants retreated into the supermarket, some of the higher-order mutant ants also retreated into the supermarket.
"Sir." A soldier held a camera and handed it to Luo Chen.
"Huh? What's the situation, it's all at this time, you are still in the mood to take pictures, and you actually show it to me, do you want me to praise you? Luo Chendi took the camera, frowned, and stared at the soldier in front of him suspiciously.
The soldier saw Luo Chen's impatience and immediately explained, "Sir, inside the camera is the photo we took opposite the ant colony supermarket. We found that there was a big hole in the supermarket, which was large enough to accommodate a car-sized object to pass through. ”
"Oh, really!?" Luo Chen wondered. Immediately, pick up the camera and get it up.
However, after fiddling with it for a long time, I didn't see the photo with the big hole, Luo Chen's face was dark, Nima, Lao Tzu hadn't even touched the camera before, how do you know how to do this?
The soldier saw that Luo Chen had been working on it for a long time, but he hadn't come out yet, and immediately said, "Sir, I'll come." ”
"Okay." Luo Chen had no choice but to hand over the camera with a gloomy face.
"There's a big hole!" Luo Chen looked at the photo in the camera in front of him and sighed. The large hole in and around it is full of mutant ants who are retreating from the burrow.
It turned out that they should have been digging this cave during the previous confrontation, and now they have dug it.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Luo Chen's mind. Since you are going to retreat into the cave and escape, then well, I will bring you a braised ant so that you can enjoy it in the cave.
Most of the ant colonies had retreated into the burrow, presumably fleeing through the burrow. However, some of the higher-level mutant ants still did not enter the burrow, and they all stared at the enemies on the opposite side.
Suddenly, Luo Chen rushed out with the Tang knife in his hand. At this moment, the Tang Dao was already fiery red, overflowing with flames.
Luo Chen's movements were very sudden, and by the time the high-level mutant ant reacted, he had already slashed at a third-order mutant ant in front of him, like cutting meat, although there was some sense of blockage, but he still smoothly split it into two.
The soldiers were also taken aback by Luo Chen's sudden move, he actually dared to kill the ant colony single-handedly.
The soldier who reacted immediately raised the gun in his hand and began to shoot, and the bullets rained down.
The extremely fast bullet hit the mutant ant the size of a dog, and suddenly, one by one, it fell. However, although the third-order mutant ants were also hit by many bullets, they did not cause much damage due to the fact that the black armor as hard as iron unloaded most of the impact force, and the bullets only entered shallowly.
At the same time, three armored vehicles immediately drove to maximum horsepower and rushed forward.
