Chapter 41: The Drowning Ant Army
We ran as hard as we could, but the dirt here was so painful that we couldn't even speed up. In contrast, the flying ants flapped their wings and caught up with us with little effort.
We fought a nest of flying ants. I tried to fasten my clothes as tightly as I could, and I waved my hands vigorously, not trying to kill the flying ants, but trying to send them far away first.
At this time, I had a very helpless feeling that I only had two arms too little, and no matter how fast I danced, I couldn't prevent the flying ants from taking advantage of it.
Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey also faced the same situation, especially the iron donkey was very unlucky, and was bitten on the nose by a flying ant.
He hummed and raised his hand twice, wanting to slap the flying ant to death, but he held back, perhaps because he was worried that such a slap would make his nose suffer more, right?
I really ran out of tricks, and I played the so-called stupid tricks again. I opened the pouch, and if the medicine was not very harmful to people, but could pose a threat to flying ants, I immediately took it out and skimmed it in the air.
Streams of colorful medicinal powders suddenly filled all around us. I did that and it did work a lot, and I had a lot fewer flying ants around me.
I hurriedly called Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey and asked them to get close to me.
They move very quickly, but when I see the iron donkey, I look at his swollen nose and always think it's Santa Claus.
I continued to sprinkle the medicine, and stepped back with the two of them, so that they stood together against the wall of a hole.
Flying ants dodge the powder, keeping a certain distance and flying in the distance, I am secretly worried, because the amount of powder is not endless, once it is used up, what can I do next?
Jiang Shaoyan was quite strange, in contrast, he was not only calm, but also showed a hesitant look, and unconsciously touched his backpack.
This little action didn't escape my eyes, and I guess he must have a way to get rid of the ants. I said something, urging to ask, "When is this?" If you have a trick, use it quickly. ”
Jiang Shaoyan squeezed his lips and smiled bitterly, and took out the glass dish from his backpack.
There is that two-headed centipede in here, we fought and fought and played with our lives all the way, but I didn't expect this little guy to be quite comfortable in the glass dish, and he was not dead.
Jiang Shaoyan sighed and said that he wanted to take it back to study, but now that he looks at it, he has no chance.
I really don't understand him, isn't it just a poisonous centipede, although he has two heads, but what's the big deal? Why be so precious?
Maybe after a period of buffering, the flying ants are not so afraid of the medicine, and they are suddenly approaching a lot, which makes us feel more stressed in an instant.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't think much about it, so he quickly unscrewed the glass, stuck it to the ground, and threw it out.
The glass followed the wheel, and after a few turns, the two-headed centipede crawled out.
I pressed my temper and quietly observed.
I found it strange that the two-headed centipede was very nervous, and the flying ants also sensed the presence of the centipede, and they all abandoned us and rushed towards the centipede.
The two-headed centipede hurriedly spewed out puffs of green mist and hid itself in it. Most of the flying ants are afraid of this green mist and dare not approach, but some are bold.
A few flying ants couldn't stand it anymore and rushed down first. They are very strong, but as soon as they touch the green mist, they lose their vitality, slam to the ground, curl up and die.
The two-headed centipede did not let down its vigilance, but increased the spray of green mist, and the other flying ants were very strange, perhaps stimulated by the death of these warriors in their companions, and for a moment, they were desperate and rushed down in a swarm.
This is also a characteristic that ants have, they are not afraid of death. I can't even count how many flying ants have fallen in the mist, and those that have survived have all pounced on the two-headed centipede.
The centipede was in terrible pain and rolled on the ground.
Gradually, the flying ants gathered more and more, and they actually kept the centipedes, what is this concept, centipedes and flying ants simply formed a big meat ball made of insects.
We don't have time to read on. Jiang Shaoyan glanced at us, which meant that we took advantage of this gap to flee quickly.
But just as we were about to take a step, some ants turned their attention to us again and spread their wings and flew over.
Now we were dumbfounded, Jiang Shaoyan scolded his mother even more angrily, it was obvious that the death of the two-headed centipede only briefly relieved us, and it did not play much substantive role.
As a last resort, I started skimming the powder again to try to keep out the flying ants. The iron donkey thought of a way, I found that this donkey was quite strange, and occasionally at a very critical moment, he surpassed me and Jiang Shaoyan, and could figure out a little strange trick.
He reminded Jiang Shaoyan of the grenade, and then flipped up his backpack first. Jiang Shaoyan also followed.
I don't remember that we didn't carry this kind of thing in our backpacks, but the two of them were like juggling, and they really took out two palm thunders by themselves.
Time was pressing, and they didn't say much, and skimmed out the grenades one after another.
I looked at the smoky grenade and couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart. I hadn't touched this thing before, so I didn't know how powerful it was, but now that we were so close to the grenade, it was unknown if we would be hurt if we were really affected by the power of the explosion.
But I know better that we can't walk around, otherwise as soon as we move, the flying ants will be attracted to us, and the grenade will not explode in vain?
I suppressed my temperament, and I didn't care about the sweat beads overflowing from my head, I only paid attention to the dynamics of Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey.
The two of them definitely pinched it, and when they felt that it was almost enough, they turned around and ran to the side together. I hurriedly followed.
We threw ourselves on the ground one after the other. There was a thud, and the grenade exploded, and my face fell and I was completely buried in the dirt.
I felt like the ground shook with the sound of an explosion. I also have an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
When the tremor had passed, I looked up, wiped the mud off my face, and turned my head to look at it while panting for air.
The centipede and most of the flying ants had all gone to God, but there were a few flying ants scattered around us, still surrounding us, and it seemed that they were about to attack.
I wasn't so scared in my heart, and I said that just these few flying ants were easy to deal with.
Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey were fine, we didn't care about standing up, so we sat on the ground, scratching and wrapping, trying to eliminate the remaining insects.
I've found out that people are absolutely forced out. This time, when I caught a flying ant, I pinched and kneaded it vigorously, using this stupid method to make it crush to pieces. Originally, the situation was quite optimistic, and it was estimated that it would not take a minute for us to get out completely.
But no one expected that suddenly, the ground shook. I was stunned, and my heart said what's wrong with this? It can't be such a coincidence that there was an earthquake, right?
The rest of the flying ants reacted quite loudly, and they all turned their heads and flew away. When all of us stood up, a jet of water suddenly broke through the surface and appeared in front of us.
This surface has been blown up by a grenade, probably because the ground is thin, and there is groundwater underneath it, so it's a good thing that we will sink into the water.
The surface of the ground is getting bigger and bigger, and the water column is getting thicker.
I was so impressed by the current that I felt like I couldn't stand on my feet. We used a helpless way, holding each other's hands, trying to help each other escape quickly.
It's just that we really have more than enough heart and not enough strength, and in just a few blinks, the water is not up to our waists. I also think it's hard to pull their hands.
If we want to escape calmly, it will definitely not work, Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey both showed a trace of ruthlessness on their faces, and Jiang Shaoyan also reminded, "Hurry up and hold your breath." ”
I took a big sip and felt a fluttering sensation in my body.
I was eventually defeated by the current, let go of their hands, and was swept away.
I paddled desperately, not hoping that I could swim in this rapid, but only that I could breathe while I was free.
I don't know how long I struggled, and I don't know how long I was tormented by this drowning, and finally I was washed over the head and hit something, and it was quite hard and my head was groggy.
At this time, the water slowly receded, and as soon as I relaxed, I felt a little tired, and I couldn't bear it and fainted.
I must have slept for a short time, and when I opened my eyes, I found that it was dark and I could faintly smell a fishy smell.
What the hell is this in my heart? I pressed the horror of the darkness and touched my waist again.
I lost my class Viper pistol, and only one holster remained, but luckily the flashlight was still there.
I took it out, lit it up, and took a picture of it all around.
It's a cave with the width of a tiled house. I was at the very bottom of the cave, but I was never leaning against the cave wall, I could feel that I was sitting on something, it was a little panicked, and there was also something behind it, it was a little soft.
I looked down and saw that I was sitting in a rotten basket.
It's also strange that my head was a little wooden for a while, I didn't react, and I cursed secretly, why is there a basket in this place? Then I twisted around to see what I was leaning on.
I had encountered a painful incident before, I was leaning against the corpse of an old woman, and this time something similar happened to me, but it was not an old woman, but a child.
He didn't know how long he had been dead, his flesh was rotten, his facial features had been dug out, maggots had grown in his eye sockets, and white insects were lying in it, occasionally twisting his body around.
This made me sick, and I quickly stood up and stepped back.
I couldn't reach my back, but I tried to pull and shake as hard as I could, I didn't want to get such a disgusting bug on my body.
In addition, I found out that there is not only one basket here, but there are no less than ten baskets stored around.
I was swept over by the water, and one basket was broken, and the other baskets were still intact.
I muttered in my heart, could it be that these baskets are filled with dead people?
