Chapter 62: Man-eating Ants
Where did that sound come from?
I said to myself, "Am I too worried?" I was more vigilant, so I said hello to Tofu and prepared to get out of the car to check it out. Tofu grabbed me by the arm and said, "In the middle of the night, what if those apes are still around?" Don't look for trouble, it's safe for us to hide in the car. ”
I saw Tofu's worried look, and there really didn't seem to be any change around me, so I nodded, continued to smoke, and chatted with Tofu with a match.
Tofu said: "You say, can the wood still come out?" ”
"I don't know,"
Tofu said: "I hope it will come out alive, maybe we are very old by then." ”
I said, "Don't think about it, no one can say what will happen in the future." "Actually, I still have a doubt in my heart, that is, if the corpse fairy really comes out safely, will it be resentful of us? Or is it sucking up the mass of the void, and it doesn't know what will become of it, and what will happen to it? Of course, I didn't mention these speculations to Tofu, his brain was already tangled enough, and some questions were stuffed into it. , I guess I'll have to hold him to death.
As we were talking, I felt the sound of brushing clearer, and this time, I was sure that it wasn't me who was too careful, because even Tofu heard it. He looked a little nervous, and quickly woke up Hari Chagai and Zhen Rui, and said, "Listen, what kind of sound is this? ”
Zhen Rui's ears moved, and he suddenly said; "The sound seems to be coming from under our car."
Everyone couldn't help but bow their heads in unison, the inside of the car was as good as before, and the sound seemed to be under the wheel. At this time, Hari Chagai suddenly sighed, as if he remembered something, with a ruffian-like smile on his face, and said: "This reminds me of man-eating ants, these things secrete a corrosive saliva, attracted by the smell of blood, they will gather, if they are allowed to get into the chassis, the car can easily be paralyzed." ”
Tofu suddenly said nervously: "The kind of man-eating ant you are talking about, is it as big as a beetle with a red head?" ”
Hari Chagai smiled: "Old man, you are very smart. Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't pretend to be tender, you're only two years younger than me, look at the ...... on the edge of the window."
Man-eating ants!
Where these things crawl over, there will be some white foamy things, which are estimated to be the corrosive liquid that is spit out, and an ant spits out very little, but these cannibals gather, and the amount of spit out is very considerable, and it didn't take long for the entire window edge to become white, so that the surrounding brushes began to slowly dissolve, and that kind of change, the scalp of people who really looked at it was numb.
Zhen Rui was still very calm at this time, exhaled slightly, and said sharply: "Drive." ”
Hari Chagai looked like this as if the sky was falling, wiped his red hair on his forehead, whistled, and started the car violently. In the darkness, the lights came on, and the Humvee slammed out, jolting through the gravel-strewn surface.
The area where the sandstone was so small was so small that I leaned on the back seat and looked at the place where I had been by the tail lights, only to find that there were a dense crowd of red-headed man-eating ants underneath, as if attracted by the smell of blood from the ape.
The car was bumpy, and Tofu scolded: ", why is it so difficult to sleep peacefully, I know there are man-eating ants in this place, but why don't you know that there is such a thing as an ape?" I knew I wouldn't have shot just now. ”
Hari Chagai smiled evilly: "If you don't shoot, just wait to be poisoned by the ape." In fact, this thing is relatively rare, it is said that the disgruntled corpses in the ancient battlefield have become, only come out at night to move, and are afraid of fire. It's just that we didn't pay attention to the fire at the time, so we gave them a chance. ”
As he spoke, the car suddenly paused and made a sudden sound. Hari Chagai hammered the steering wheel, then his body loosened, and he spread his hands and said, "No, the car is broken." ”
Tofu hurriedly said: "Broken? Damn, this is a Humvee, I haven't bothered it much, why is it broken? ”
Zhen Rui was more reliable, and asked Hari Chagai, "Is it a man-eating ant in the chassis?" ”
Hari Chagai nodded and said, "And there must be a lot of them, it is estimated that some places have been corroded, and now they can't be fired." As we spoke, the group of man-eating ants that we threw away chased after each other, making a brushing sound during the action. Tofu's face turned pale, and he was anxious to shed tears, and said: "It's all my fault, I knew this, I shouldn't have stopped you just now, we found out the danger earlier, and it's not like now, I wanted to help, but I got into trouble again." ”
I said, "Little ancestor, I'm not dead yet, don't rush to send me a funeral." I don't blame you, if I went out blindly just now, I might have been gnawed into a skeleton by these man-eating ants. Don't worry, it's still safe now, let's think of a way, don't you usually bring dichlorvos? Take it out and try it. ”
Tofu said sullenly: "The wood is gone, I feel uncomfortable when I see dichlorvos, but I didn't bring it this time." ”
I only felt a breath choked in my throat, almost choked to death, and Hari Chagai was even more unkind, laughing out loud, not looking scared, with a gloating expression. Zhen Rui shook his head, looking like he had expected it a long time ago, showing that he had never had a hopeful attitude towards tofu, and said: "They have come, water and fire are ruthless, take solid fuel out and burn it." ”
It was impossible for the crowd to sit still and immediately turn out solid fuel and string it with a pry to make a torch. At this time, those man-eating ants had caught up, and they were so dense that they had glued the entire car window. Before our torches were lit, Zhen Rui shook his head and said, "No, that's right, one pile will be burned to death, and the other pile will come in, and it is estimated that we will be gnawed." Don't light a fire, don't open a window. ”
Tofu saw that Hari Chagai was still the same thunderous and smiling face, he was anxious and angry, and said, "You are really not afraid of death!" Hurry up and find a way, plain clothes are forced. ”
Hari Chagai snapped his fingers and said, "You're right, I'm really not afraid of death." What's the use of being afraid, being afraid of them, they will let you go? ”
I saw that this kid looked completely unconcerned, and couldn't help asking, "Seeing that you are not flustered, what can you do?" ”
Hari Chagai smiled slightly and spit out two words: "No." “
Tofu said angrily: "Why didn't you put on such a look?" ”
Hari Chagai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pretend." ”
I and Zhen Rui glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, at this moment, the whole Hummer was crawled with man-eating ants, and the car couldn't start, although their strength was not enough to corrode the steel car, but the window part was covered by brushes, and after these brushes were corroded, some fine cracks would be exposed, and sooner or later these things would get in.
I couldn't think of a way out of the predicament for a while, so I could only plan for the worst first, tell Tofu not to quarrel with Hari Chagai, take out some iron gadgets from the equipment bag, keep an eye on the area around the car window, and use these iron tools to top up if there is a place that is corroded.
Seeing that we were busy working one by one, Hari Chagai finally showed great compassion and said, "Actually, there is no need to be so afraid, these things are hidden in the cracks during the day, and they can't stand it if it's too hot, as long as they hold on until dawn, it's OK." Immediately afterward, he looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and said, "Warriors, there are still four hours before dawn, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, cheer." ”
Tofu tilted his head and wondered, "What does it have to do with future generations?" ”
Hari Chagai sneered: "If you want to become a skeleton of bones, can you still have offspring?" Ah, that's right, just your genes, leaving future generations, that is also a scourge to mankind. Seeing that Tofu was about to go crazy, I kicked him directly and said, "When will you learn to be calm, is it time to quarrel?" Hurry up and get to work. ”
Next, a few of us guarded the windows on our respective sides, and as soon as there was a loophole, we immediately stuffed it with something iron, and for a while, but about an hour or so, the car suddenly became stuffy, and Hari Chagai said: "There is no electricity, the air conditioner is off, we have to find a way to ventilate, otherwise we will suffocate to death." ”
Tofu said: "Damn, if you didn't say it earlier, who made you waste electricity by listening to songs all the time." ”
Hari Chagai pointed upward, with a mysterious expression, and said, "God's will." ”
Tofu took a deep breath and said to me: "Lao Chen, don't stop me, let me strangle this pretending to be a coercive thing, and then throw it out, maybe these ants will eat him, and when they are full, they will ignore us." I shook my head and said, "Feel free." Then I looked at him and asked him what to do.
Half of Zhen Rui's face with a mask was hidden in the dark, he exhaled heavily, and the remaining half of his face looked elusive, and finally he said: "It seems that I can't hide, according to the original plan, light the fire, I'll count three times in a while, everyone put on their equipment, open the car door and run!" ”
Tofu stopped to pinch Hari Chagai's hand and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Zhen Rui said: "Run to the open place." "Running to rough terrain only slows us down, whereas for man-eating ants, there is no difference between rough and flat.
I said, "That's all there is to it." Immediately, everyone took out the equipment from the back seat of the car, fastened the buttons, and finally, the four of them each held the door of the car to guard, and listened to the number of people said: "One, two, three...... Run! ”
