Chapter Ninety-Five: Scavenging Ants

After breaking the Kuroko apart, I began to bleed and save people, and removed everyone from the tent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info net

Naturally stay in the empty tent, patrolling for possible clues. Based on what happened last night, we can be sure of one thing, that is, everything last night has nothing to do with the poisonous fog we thought in the first place, if it has anything to do with that thing, it is impossible for me and Kuroko and Xiao Xu to have nothing to do.

The time of the accident was at the time of our shift change at dawn, and the natural stay once said that there was a feeling of being bitten, so we preliminarily judged that the cause of this phenomenon may be some kind of extremely poisonous insect.

The entrance to the tent has only one vent, and it is facing inward, and it is guarded all the time, so those biting insects cannot enter through the vent, the only possibility is that they themselves broke the tent and got in from other places.

Those insects should not be large, and the holes they make should be inconspicuous, since they can break through the tent and get in, then perhaps, they are similar to praying mantises. The big ao that can cut things apart.

While saving people, I observed the movement of the natural stay, and he checked it very carefully, and it took more than ten minutes before he said, "I found it." At this time, when I had finished feeding the blood to the people, I bandaged the wound at random and leaned over to watch.

But under one of the corners of the tent, there was a hole the size of a coin.

Unlike what we imagined, this hole was not cut, but it seemed to have been burned by something like a lighter, and the hole was formed, but its edges did not have the charred black that had been burned.

This small hole is located under the moisture-proof mat, and it is in the corner, so it is really difficult to find without lifting the moisture-proof mat.

Looking down the small hole in the ground, there is a ground that we have cleaned beforehand, revealing dirt. There was bamboo in this place, so the earth and rocks were very firm and very tight, but at this moment, the soil exposed under the small hole seemed very soft, as if it had been loosened over the earth, and we immediately understood that those things had come out of the ground.

Since it would take a while for the rest of the people to wake up, they said to me, "Tear down the tent." ”

I said, "You're going to find those things?" ”

"According to two experiences, they have a habit of being nocturnal, and when we return, we have to take this road, and we have to figure out what it is. "There are too many dangers in this place, and if we choose to make a new detour just to avoid the black bamboo forest on the way back, then the unknown dangers we face will greatly increase, so a detour is definitely not a good way.

I could understand the idea of natural stupidity, and without saying a word, the two began to dismantle the tent.

Soon after the tent was dismantled, the rest of the people woke up one after another, one by one naturally did not know, for their sudden sleep outside shocked, I will roughly tell what happened, the group only understood, one by one immediately regarded me as an ancestor, thanksgiving Dai De needless to say, even Zheng Gongcheng cast a grateful look at me.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the fog in the black bamboo forest had dissipated, and the vision was exceptionally clear.

The crowd rested for a while and began to dig down the soft soil, and we didn't dare to move too much, no one wanted to risk it until we were sure what it was.

But after only digging about half a meter, we dug up a very strange thing, it was a sphere, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a lot of holes like honeycomb coal, obviously mud balls, which reminded me of something like an ant's nest.

But ant nests are usually relatively large, and this is the first time I've seen a small mud ball like this.

At that moment, out of the small loach, crawled out of a red thing that looked like an ant, but was about the size of a bee.

As soon as that thing came out, the team was very knowledgeable about biology, and the old wolf who we had become exclaimed, "It's a scavenging ant!" ”

Sister Tie frowned and said, "Is this thing biting us?" ”

The old wolf nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Scavenging ants can anesthetize prey, but they generally only catch very small insects, so as not to make so many of us like that, unless there are many scavenging ants biting us at the same time." ”

Curly said: "If that were the case, our bodies would have been bitten into a piece of rotten flesh a long time ago." ”

The old wolf frowned slightly, and said: "The scavenging ants are different from other ants, they also have a special kind of poisonous ants, which are very poisonous, perhaps, what we want is the poisonous ants of the scavenging ants." The prey cannot wake up after being deeply anesthetized, and will die normally due to exhaustion, and after decay, it is their food. It seems that under this black bamboo forest, there may be many nests of scavenging ants. ”

Sister Tie said, "How should I deal with this thing?" ”

The old wolf said: "Next time, let's spray a lot of insecticides in the camping area, smoke sulfur bombs, and find a slightly damp place to camp." ”

We put the ball of mud back in the dirt, and Curly was going to trample it to death in anger, but the old wolf said that scavenging ants are social creatures, and they are very vindictive, and it is difficult to get rid of these things if they are killed and smelled of them.

In desperation, we put the mud ball back in its place and buried it with soil by the way.

After figuring out what was hurting us and knowing how to prepare for the next time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, packed up their things, ate some food to recover their strength, and continued on the road, and at noon that day, we finally walked out of the black bamboo forest.

However, this is not good news, the further we go, the lower the altitude we are in, the surrounding vegetation is dense, dozens of meters high, and even huge vines with a diameter of five or six meters thick, which makes us feel like we have entered a primeval jungle.

There are more and more dangers around, and our route is getting bigger and bigger, and on the way we meet some wild beasts in a narrow way, and those who can climb trees can climb trees to solve them, and those who can't can only shoot and kill.

Fortunately, there were people in the team who were good at tracking the traces of wild beasts, and we avoided most of the dangers, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a stream appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The stream was very shallow, and there was no danger, and everyone walked with sweat and unstoppable heat, so they took off their shoes and socks and rested by the stream to soak their feet.

In the process of soaking my feet, I found that the natural stay who had not taken care of me much before actually sat next to me, I was a little surprised, and glanced at him, but I didn't say much, so as not to put a hot face on a cold buttocks, which was too embarrassing.

At this moment, he said slowly: "Thank you." ”

I didn't react at first, but I realized what he was talking about, and said, "It's okay, I joined this team just to be a 'doctor'." ”

Naturally said lightly: "What I said is, thank you for your willingness to collect my body." ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and couldn't help but laugh; "If I die in this forest, will you collect my body?"

"You won't die. ”

I said, "Why?" ”

Naturally, he thought for a moment and said, "If necessary, you can also give up this mission." ”

I said, "What do you mean when necessary?" ”

"When you don't have a chance to win, you can't move forward, or when you threaten someone's life," he said. ”

I said, "Is there me in some of these people?" What Huang Tian said? ”

Naturally, he said, "I said it." ”

I choked for a moment, and immediately realized what he really meant, and couldn't help but be speechless, this kid has low emotional intelligence, I want to kick him, and after talking for a long time, don't I just want to express: I don't want you to die, at the critical moment, can you retreat? It doesn't have to be so complicated to go around and around.

After feeling a sigh, I looked around and found that the rest of us were quite far away, so I lowered my voice and said, "It seems that you don't hate me as much as before." ”

Naturally said lightly: "I don't hate you, but I can't accept that the most trusted person lied to me about such an important thing." ”

I was breathing and didn't know what to say, I thought the anger of the natural stay was due to his dead mother, but now it seems that I was wrong. I trust him because he was brought out of the snowy mountains, and I know that there are no conflicts of interest in him, and there are no intrigues in him. But again, I forgot one thing, and that is that in this world, he only trusts me.

What does it feel like to be deceived and betrayed by the people you trust most?

I've experienced this kind of feeling, it's just cool to the heart and lungs.

"I'm sorry."

Naturally, he was silent, not knowing whether to accept or not, and then he had nothing to say.

Originally, I saw that the people around me were far away, and seeing that the natural stupid attitude had eased a lot, I wanted to inquire about the goal of our mission, but now I am not in the mood to inquire.
