200. Acid ants
Who came up with the idea to tie up Luoqing River and smell it? That has to be "everyone".
Qi Jue didn't say anything, he originally had a lot of opinions about this old man. Although Hao Dong can't remember the past, he doesn't have a good impression of him from the sneaky appearance of this old man now.
And when he didn't figure out the situation before, Ergou still had a lot of respect for Luo Qinghe, and he thought that there was some misunderstanding here, otherwise how could people see Xiao Qi Ye and Xiao Mouse It was really like a mouse who only met a cat.
However, after he turned over the place where Luo Qinghe was hiding, this respect was directly thrown to Java.
Because he found his lunch box containing rice cakes in Luo Qinghe's nest, and also found a small half bag of chili peppers that should belong to Hao Dong, and even a little instant noodles and a small half of the spice bottle of salt.
The materials they brought out this time were all specially approved, and they all had special signs of military supply on them. This Luo Qinghe stole it, and he didn't even remove the outer packaging, and he could recognize it at a glance from the expedition's material bag.
In addition, although Qi never told the original intention, his attitude made it clear that he didn't treat this old man very well, and the two dogs were in contact, and he suddenly felt deceived by legends.
It is said that he once also found a capable person to solve the problem, but he did not have direct contact at that time. At that time, he knew that the old man was such an unreliable fellow, and he felt that he would have to think twice whether he would ask him for help.
The queen was completely convinced.
Although Zhao Zheng does not participate in the opinion, he and Hao Dong have similar ideas, so sneaky, and really stealing things, it must be impossible to be a good person in the real sense even if he is not a bad guy.
So Luo Qinghe was depressed, because he found that even if he started grunting when he was hungry, the five over there didn't even look at him.
"Hey!"
He shouted, and unsurprisingly no one paid attention to him. So he switched tactics:
"Who is that, Hao Dong, why did you become so powerful just now?"
Although it is said that a big reason for Hao Dong's success in sneaking up on him before was that he sent the muzzle of the gun himself, if Hao Dong was still the same Hao Dong when he was in direct contact, he believed that he would not be able to dodge it no matter what.
But in fact, it was he who capsized in the gutter this time, because he completely underestimated Hao Dong's skills.
This is indeed what makes him curious, of course, he asked at this time, more to be able to talk.
But obviously Hao Dong is no longer the one in his impression, because he straightened his voice and shouted at others, and the one who was shouted was sitting on the ground as steady as Mount Tai, not to mention turning his head to look at him, he didn't move at all!
It will be easy to give up, and he will not get mixed up to the point where his name and legend of "capable man" are spread on the rivers and lakes, so even if the other party does not respond to him, Luo Qinghe still persistently greets:
"Hao Dong?"
"Hey, don't treat me like this, I've helped you too."
"Hao Dong? Xiaodong? Little rats? ”
"Hey~~Good Dongdong children's shoes~~~"
Hao Dong's voice came from behind him: "You want to call that thing over?" ”
Luo Qinghe was really frightened now, but his body was tied so strongly, he couldn't turn over, and he couldn't turn his head to see what was going on with Hao Dong behind him.
He's seen a lot in his life and knows that sometimes the unpredictable really happens. Especially in a place like this where the underground has been abandoned for a long time, anything can happen.
It's just that he has never been afraid of ghosts and gods, and he hasn't worried about this before. So at this time, he was not too worried about Hao Dong's two situations themselves.
But he cares about what Hao Dong said, "that thing", could it be that thing again?
Thinking of this possibility, he felt a chill down his spine, but he wanted to ask, but his mouth was covered, and Ergou's voice was rare and serious, and he was very low: "Have you seen that thing?" Did you find any weaknesses? ”
Luo Qinghe could only shake his head.
He still hasn't fully figured out what it is, only that it looks like a human shadow, and it's stuck to the wall when it's moving, but you'll never be able to catch up with it.
It's just that once you let up, maybe it will come back again.
Luo Qinghe was discovered by Hao Dong twice, but it was actually because of that kind of shadow. And he has always wondered if it will be retaliated against by the shadow.
Because he had been attacked by that thing once before, but he dodged it, and in the end he only fell into his expedition bag - otherwise he wouldn't have been so bold as to touch Hao Dong's things.
He was still impressed by that image, and he remembered that the black shadow had buried his backpack at once, and then the backpack shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He had to run as fast as he could, because he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he was buried.
Only a few more times later, but the thing didn't seem to be interested in him. It made him break out in a cold sweat many times, but nothing really happened.
It was then that he noticed that the thing seemed to be keeping up with Hao Dong and their team.
The purpose of his coming here is to find out what exactly is entrenched here, so he naturally pays attention. It's a pity that before I found out why, I was tied up.
As he was reminiscing, his ears on the ground heard another sound in the space that was so silent that only the sound of soup gurgling on the stove remained. It was very light, but quite dense, as if countless claws were crawling on the ground.
Luo Qinghe's body subconsciously entered a state of alert, and according to his second dog, he also noticed his condition and immediately reacted: "It's here." ”
It will make everyone so nervous, and it is also because after tying up Luo Qinghe, Hao Dong saw that shadow again.
I thought I had found the source, but it didn't, which surprised everyone. And the shadow was also very fierce this time, and attacked the queen when it came up.
Although she was frightened by only touching a small part of her arm, the thing seemed to be poisonous, and the queen fell into a coma.
However, through that hand-to-hand encounter, it can probably be seen that it should be some group of bugs.
When he was scrambling to treat the queen's wound first, Zhao Zheng used his analyzer to test the secretions near the queen's wound and concluded that it might be some type of ant.
So everyone summed it up and arranged this trap today.
If it's an ant, it's generally going to have a sweet tooth. Hao Dong boiled a little syrup and put it on the fire, and the ground was surrounded by waste paper collected from this underground garage, and planned to set it on fire when those insects went to grab food.
This is actually a bit of a gamble, after all, they don't know what the bugs' thinking is. It only depends on whether the luck is good enough and whether the creatures can act according to their plan.
So far, they've had a lot of luck.
From the time Luo Qinghe heard the commotion to the complete appearance of the black shadow, it was only about half a minute. Looking at the swarm of insects densely surrounding the syrup pot a few meters in front of them, everyone was a little numb.
Judging by this number, it is obvious that the part of them lying on the wall has not yet been revealed!
Luo Qinghe was finally picked up and taken to the place where everyone gathered later.
Qi Jue flashed out when Ergou got Luo Qinghe back, holding a lighter in his hand. These ants are obviously very responsive, and he is the one who moves the lightest here, and he can only go.
In order to trap these insects, they also wrapped a rope soaked in oil around the waste paper pile, and Qi Jue's purpose at this time was to light this circle of rope and make a wall of fire.
After surrounding, setting fire to the contents can effectively avoid the appearance of fish that slip through the net.
In the next few minutes, Luo Qinghe was covered to watch the bonfire party under the venue.
These ants don't get particularly large, but they are agile and have a certain ability to think.
This ability to think is not to think independently like humans, but to work together as a group to react to certain events in a specific way.
Luo Qinghe felt as if he had been retaliated against before, which was the counterattack behavior of the group after the ant colony attacked him but did not get an equivalent return.
At this moment, in the face of the sudden fire around them, these ants did not drill around, but gathered together, trying to sacrifice one part of it to achieve the purpose of sending the other part out of the fire ring.
The air underground was instantly filled with a bad smell, sour and ambiguous, which made people subconsciously want to hold their breath.
Hao Dong's eyes were sharp, and he found the problem at a glance: "What kind of liquid are they secreting, which can corrode the ground." ”
Although the ground is cement, this acid is obviously some kind of strong acid, which can be corroded by all.
Maybe Hao Dong and they should be glad that this acid is not strongly volatile, otherwise they will be forced to breathe the burning air at this time, and their respiratory tracts will probably be burned.
But it didn't work to let them run away like this, Hao Dong bent down and ran out along the root of the wall. ran to the backpack that Luo Qinghe had mistaken for his own clothes before, turned out a simple shovel from it, assembled it in three or two, and began to shovel into the fire from the outer edge.
Ergou and Zhao Zheng were not idle.
The second dog had already turned on the ring of lighting tools near their hiding place to prevent the escaped ants from attacking. Zhao Zheng also ran out and went to help Hao Dong.
The circle they drew was not small, and the entire middle of the underground parking lot, with a diameter of almost five meters, was all encircled. It took a little time for Qi Jue to light the fire, and then he also joined the team that turned over the shovel.
A large number of acid ants were burned by the fire, and at first they could concentrate a part of the self-explosion in an attempt to dissolve their acidic body fluids on the ground to escape the passage, but with the addition of the shovel, this behavior quickly lost its due effect.
Although the ant colony later realized this, they began to try to attack Hao Dong and them. But at this time, most of the acid ants have been ignited by the fire, and they are weak to recover. Even if there is an occasional slip through the net, a shovel will be directly flattened.
This fire burned so violently that it would have been impossible to achieve such an effect if it had only relied on the waste paper on the ground. Obviously, these acid ants have other flammable substances in addition to acid.
When the fire was finally extinguished, the ground was dissolved deeply, and at the bottom of the pit were blackened ant carcasses.
