Chapter 252: Life and Death Depend on Life

Helen City, where there are no zombies, is like an empty city, so quiet that people feel extremely depressed, and a discarded newspaper flies up like a dancing butterfly by the wind, and is caught in Ling Xiu's hand.

Looking down, there are four clear red characters written on the "People's Daily", which are nothing more than about the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, as well as the recent activities of the ruling ~ government ~ party and the policy guidelines for certain areas.

After looking at it for a while, as soon as Ling Xiu's fingers loosened, the old newspaper was blown away by the wind again, flew in the air for a while, then fell to the ground and glided for a distance, and then flew up again, like a bird trying to fly for the first time, after countless falls and climbs, when a gust of wind blew, it carried it, and finally disappeared at the crossroads of the street.

"Boom......"

Suddenly, an extremely strange sound sounded, as if someone was rubbing the rough ground with the palm of their hand, but the sound was amplified several times so that it could be heard from a long distance.

Ling Xiu stood still, his mind couldn't help but be stunned, this kind of sound couldn't tell its source, it seemed to fill the entire space, and it was everywhere around.

"It's over, we're ...... We're being targeted by mutant ants! ”

"It must have been discovered by the worker ants before, and we didn't find it, allowing it to successfully return to its nest and pass on our information to all the mutant ants."

"What to do? I don't want to die, my wife and children are still waiting for me to go back. ”

……

In addition to Liu Yongfu and Leng Jinpeng, the other three men were sweating like a waterfall, trembling violently, and their spirits were about to collapse.

Although Liu Yongfu was also flustered, he was still able to maintain his composure.

He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I'll count three times, and everyone will run with me!" ”

Ling Xiu nodded, he knew very well that Liu Yongfu definitely knew Hailun City better than him, and it was definitely not wrong to listen to Liu Yongfu's command. He glanced at Tang Xiaomo, who looked uneasy beside him, and pulled her hand tight.

"One ......"

"Two ......"

With Liu Yongfu's few seconds, everyone was so nervous that they were about to suffocate, especially when countless black ant heads poked out of the hedges on both sides of the street as urban greenery, the heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and the pores of the whole body were dilated with horror.

“…… Three...... Come on! ”

Liu Yongfu finally shouted, led everyone to turn around and ran into an alley.

At the same time, dense layers of mutant ants poured out of the hedges, and chased after them with a bloodthirsty low hissing like a swarm of corpses.

The jaws on both sides of their mouths dripped, white and silky saliva, and although they were only half the size of a pup, they crawled very fast with the cooperation of their six legs, like a large black shadow flowing across the ground.

However, the difference in size still made Ling Xiu and them slowly distance themselves from the Ant Army.

Zhang Yifei wanted to turn his head and raise his middle finger at those mutant ants, but as soon as he turned around, he was scared into a cold sweat on the spot.

The mutant ants that had been scattered were actually quickly gathering into a clump, like a black snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally forming a huge ball with a diameter of four meters.

The surface of the large ball was full of surging mutant ants, rolling and chasing after them, more than twice as fast as when they were dispersed before.

"I'm a fucking uncle, how can these little crumbs still have this kind of IQ!" Zhang Yifei's eyes widened, and his face was full of horror.

Beads of sweat also appeared on Ling Xiu's forehead, pulling Tang Xiaomo tightly, for fear that she would fall behind.

The huge ball of ants soon followed the group, and at the back of the group was one of Liu Yongfu's companions.

The man's face was full of panic and anxiety, and he ran with all the strength of his body, but no matter how hard he tried, the ant ball behind him was still in hot pursuit, and the distance between him and him was getting shorter and shorter.

"Save ...... Me, help me......"

Fear enveloped his whole being, and he cried out only in prayer, his voice filled with longing for life.

In this situation, everyone is unable to protect themselves, and whoever stops to save him will choose to die in his place.

Liu Yongfu remained silent, buried his head and continued to run, Leng Jinpeng and the other two also ignored it.

They were all indifferent, and Ling Xiu would not lend a helping hand for a stranger, and it was in this powerless situation.

"Ah~"

With a screaming scream from the soul, the man was swallowed up by the ant pellets, and his body was quickly annihilated by the layers of ants. After the man was devoured, the speed of the huge ant ball suddenly slowed down.

Ling Xiu and his party seized the opportunity and quickly distanced themselves from them.

But in less than ten seconds, the huge ant ball rolled violently again and chased after him, and the man who was devoured had turned into a white skeleton at this moment, and was thrown to the ground at will, and all the flesh and blood, including clothes, were gnawed clean by the mutant ants.

This kind of gnawing speed is absolutely terrifying!

"Chu Liyue, shoot at them!"

Ling Xiu shouted, this can't go on like this, we must find a way to disperse these huddled ants, otherwise all of them will be devoured sooner or later.

Chu Liyue bowed slightly, she was born in special forces, and she was quite good at it, shooting backwards while running at full speed might be difficult for others, but it was easy for her to do it.

The sniper rifle was aimed at the ball of ants rolling in, and then the trigger was slammed.

"Bang~"

A sharp gunshot tore through the sky.

The disemboweling bullet pierced through the center of the huge ant pellet with a momentum like a bamboo, and suddenly countless mutant ants were knocked out and scattered to the ground, and a large hole appeared in the center of the ant pellet. However, the hole healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was filled by other mutant ants.

The whole ant ball is like a spherical monster with amazing healing ability and a hara!

Ling Xiu's brows furrowed deeply, a powerful sniper rifle bullet was actually unable to break up the grouped ants, he originally thought that Chu Liyue's shot would definitely scatter them all.

"It's useless, the city is full of ant burrows, and more and more mutant ants crawl out of the burrows to join in, unless they disperse on their own because they run out of energy, or give up the pursuit, it is absolutely impossible to scatter them with bullets alone."

Liu Yongfu's eyes showed the grief of losing his companion and his fear of mutant ants, and he said apologetically to Ling Xiu, "Johnny, it's a pleasure to meet you, but I must be honest with you, if you want to live, you have to run past the others, and those who fall behind will only be the first to become the food of the mutant ants." ”

Ling Xiu nodded and cast a smile.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Liu Yongfu said, at this time, it was indeed life and death!
