Chapter 154: Trapped in an Ant Colony
The tree pole sank half a meter, the big tree began to lose its balance, and the tree pole came with a "crackling" sound, and the big tree fell to the ground with a "boom".
As the tree fell, wood chips began to erupt from the place where it had previously "stood", and chopped wood chips were sprayed into the air, and several mutant ants emerged from the ground.
The tentacles of the pathfinder ants are constantly swinging in the air, and they analyze the composition of the air. After a while, the mutant ants didn't notice anything unusual, so they hissed a few times, and more ants crawled out of the hole.
The ants that came out of the burrow were like a tide, and the dense ants instantly covered the entire mountain, and they formed a "carpet" under the trees, and the ant colony began to spread around.
When a puppy-like ant crawled to the path that Verelle had passed, the ant clearly smelled a human scent, and it stopped, and its two long tentacles began to "look" around.
Watching the ant's movements, Verelle and Lyle became nervous, they knew very well that the ant relied not on sight but on smell, and that it was very likely that they were about to reveal their position.
Sure enough, the ant released some kind of trace insufficiency, and the surrounding ants smelled its signal, and several more ants crawled over, and one ant in it was especially huge.
It was a soldier ant, and its length was close to a meter, and its head alone occupied nearly a third of its body.
The ant's pincers are like a sickle, full of sharp teeth. As they passed, the ant's claws inadvertently rubbed against the pole where Verelle was staying, and the pincers easily cut the bark and tore the flesh out like pieces of paper.
The ant's tentacles swept across the ground, and after a while, it seemed to sense some kind of smell element in the air, and the ant's head was raised.
At this moment, a "pop" sound was heard, and a sniper bullet accurately hit the head of the soldier ant, and the head of the soldier ant was blown to pieces on the spot, and the headless ant corpse was splashed out.
The sudden mutation suddenly made the ants a little flustered, and they immediately huddled together, and the ants felt the bullets burrowing into the ground, and then all the ants' heads slowly lifted.
Verelle in the tree suddenly felt bad, she had noticed that the soldier ants were about to find their traces, so Verelle struck first, she added a silent kit to the sniper rifle, Verelle killed the soldier ants, but she didn't want the gun to leave the smell of gunsmoke after firing, these ants immediately found the prey in the tree.
It must have been some kind of silent sound wave, and the ants gathered on the mound immediately all gathered around, centering on Verelle and Dr. Lyle's tree, and thousands of large ants surrounded them, and some ants had begun to crawl up the tree poles.
Although the mutated ants are huge, this does not affect their mobility in the slightest. Seeing the ant's fluffy insect feet moving on the tree pole, the ant colony quickly climbed up.
Lyle was already panicking, and he tried to jam himself with his foot, but Lyle pulled out his pistol and fired it downward.
The sound of "pop, pop" sounded continuously, and a bullet could often penetrate two ants, and those ants that were killed were immediately planted.
But the most important thing about the ant colony is the number, they have an amazing ability to reproduce, so although a dozen ants are killed, more ants eventually climb up.
Seeing that the shot had no effect, Lyle began to kick the monster closest to him with his foot, and with a "snap", the leather shoe with the sole of the cow tendon kicked the head of an ant, and the ant's neck was broken, its head was tilted to the side, and the ant fell.
But when Lyle kicked the second ant, trouble arose. The ant was very nimble, and when he saw that it was gently circling, the big ant dodged Lyle's kick, and the ant climbed on top of his instep.
Lyle was startled, and immediately shook his right foot desperately, and Lyle tried to shake the ant off his foot.
But the ant's ability to climb is not at all comparable to that of other animals, and it crawls down Lyle's thigh directly onto his back.
"Ahh
Lyle screamed and screamed, he felt his neck swish, and Lyle held his pistol against his back and shot indiscriminately.
I heard a "click", and a bullet luckily hit one of the ant's lower legs, which was immediately blown away, and the ant's movement froze slightly. Lyle struggled to be pinched by it, grabbing his right hand behind him.
At this time, the ant was about to attack the back of Lyle's neck, and he didn't notice that his head was being held by Lyle. Lyle tugged hard, and a "hiss" sound sounded, and the ant hooked off a piece of noodles on Lyle's clothes, and it was dragged down by Lyle.
The pincers in front of the ant's jaw are constantly opening and closing, and it still struggles to catch its prey. Lyle held the ant and smashed it down hard, and he heard a "snap", and the ant happened to hit the other ant that climbed up below, and both ants were shaken down.
Here, Verelle's situation is also extremely bad.
Although Verelle has a strong marksmanship, the bullets in the gun are limited, and by the time Verelle is ready to reload, the ants have already crawled under her feet.
Verelle was helpless, she could only hold the sniper rifle and smash the ants, "pop, pop", the butt of the gun smashed heavily on the heads of the ants, although the defense of the mutant ants is outstanding, but after all, they are still smaller than humans, smashed twice, and those ants were smashed down by Verelle.
But in the case of Lyle, ants are the most persevering insects in the world, and more ants have climbed up, and they have covered the tree poles like a tide.
Staying in the tree must be a dead end, and Willow immediately reversed the muzzle of her gun, and she began to shoot continuously at the root of the tree pole.
With a "pop, pop", sniper shells continued to hit the tree poles, where the tree poles kept splashing a puff of wood chips. Under Verelle's accurate shots, the bullet holes slowly joined together.
When the last shot was fired, there was a "crackling" sound from the tree pole, and its main stem finally began to break.
I heard a "pop", a huge wooden bar popped out, and an ant that happened to climb on it was caught off guard, it was immediately bounced out, and the big tree fell to the side.
As the collapsing canopy passed over the tree where Lyle was staying, Verelle shouted at Lyle, "Doctor, jump here. ”
Lyle did not hesitate, he joined an ant crawling on his calf, and saw Lyle leap forward, and he jumped accurately onto the fallen tree.
The thirty-meter-tall tree continued to overturn, and Verille and Lyle felt like they were flying through the clouds, and they heard a "boom", and the tree slammed on the mountainside, and the crown of the tree flicked violently, and Verelle and Lyle were thrown into the air.
