Volume 1 The Way of the Beast Chapter 17 Thousands of Troops
At 4:27 a.m., on the dark earth, a blurry point of light moved freely in the veins of the mountains.
Lin Yong went all the way to the west, the bandage on his seriously injured left hand was soaked in blood, and in the icy cold wind of winter, Lin Yong could barely feel its existence. He maintained a speed of more than forty miles, turned when he saw a bend in the mountains, and went around when he saw a car, it was more than half an hour ago since the last time he pinched the clutch and shifted gears, although it was very thrilling along the way, but Lin Yong had no choice, he wanted to escape, he had to screw the throttle to the end!
The cold mountain wind slapped the cheeks of the two people in the car violently, and Lin Yong's eyes had already been blown out of tears. And although Ning Ning's face is covered with a layer of gauze to block the wind, for a child, no one can stand being blown for so long.
"Brother, I'm cold~" Ning Ning wrapped her small cotton clothes tightly, closed her eyes and sneezed.
Ah~!
Lin Yong buried his head and looked at it, the gauze on the little girl's face didn't know when it had fallen off, and under the immature little nose, two lines of clear snot hung on it, but she was still gritting her teeth and holding on......
At this moment, at the end of the road ahead, rows of neat street lamps stood on the side of the road like soldiers greeting triumphantly, which signaled that they had finally broken away from the mountain road and reached the vicinity of the town!
Lin Yong shook his cheeks, which were a little numb by the wind, wrapped Ning Ning's weak body with his own clothes, and slammed the throttle again.
............
Located in the west of Shanhai Province, Qingzao Town is certainly barren and backward compared to the big cities, but it has a pleasant climate and is famous for the abundant green dates in the surrounding area.
Near the town center of Qingzao Town, there is an old small building, on the side of the small building hangs an old neon lamp, and several places of the lamp tube have lost their former brilliance because of perennial disrepair, and the above words can be vaguely recognized: Hairui Hotel.
The inn is very narrow, and everywhere shows the shrewd use of the land, the hall is not allowed to lie on the ground, and the aisle is only one person wide. A middle-aged woman with wet hair was sitting in the reception room, knocking melon seeds while watching a romance TV series in the middle of the night.
Suddenly~ At this time, a motorcycle stopped in the back alley of the hotel, and not long after, Lin Yong led Ning Ning, one big and one small, into this musty dilapidated building.
"Boss, is there still a room?" Lin Yong buried his head and asked softly.
The woman still had the skin of melon seeds hanging from her mouth, and spewed out a word: "Yes." ”
Lin Yong asked, "I want a clean double room." There was hot water. ”
The woman looked at the time at five o'clock, and then at the girl's tired and weak appearance, and put her hand on the price list beside the counter and said, "There are no double rooms, only single rooms, two hundred yuan a night, and it will be counted at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
“...... Good. Lin Yong didn't say anything, took out four red tickets from his inner pocket and put them on the counter: "This is the deposit and room money, take the key." ”
The proprietress smiled proudly, skillfully issued documents, signed and collected money and took the keys.
At this moment, Ning Ning's little belly growled twice.
"Boss, do you have anything to eat?"
"Instant noodles, ten yuan a box. The boss pulled out two boxes of instant noodles from under the counter and put them on the counter.
Lin Yong didn't speak, took out another twenty yuan and handed it to the boss, took a deep look at the woman, and took the instant noodles upstairs.
............
In the small, dilapidated room, except for the dim chandelier on the head, there was only a creaking cot and an armchair. Lin Yong searched for a long time, and finally found a hot water kettle in the corner.
After installing the blister, Lin Yong went into the bathroom to mix the hot water, and sent Ning Ning, who was like a little beggar, into the bathroom. Not long after, the little girl came out of a hot bath, hugged the freshly soaked instant noodles and ate them. Gobbling it up like that, almost the same as Lin Yong, who just arrived at the old man's house yesterday.
After eating a box, Ning Ning opened her eyes wide again, staring at Lin Yong's bowl of noodles, Lin Yong smiled, pushed her noodles in front of Ning Ning, and said with a smile: "Look at what, both bowls are prepared for you, eat quickly!"
Ning Ning immediately hugged another bowl in front of her, and didn't forget to say before eating: "Thank you!" It seems that Ning Ning should have a good family education, and she knows how to be polite at such a young age. At this time, Lin Yong noticed that the little girl had been deliberately protecting her right hand, and even held the fork with her left hand, so she really didn't know what was hidden there. Before she could ask, the little girl finished another bowl, pouted, and looked at Lin Yong blankly.
Lin Yong walked over with a slight smile, wiped Ning Ning's long hair with water with a towel, and said while wiping, "Ning Ning, how long have you been away from home?"
"It's been a long time~" Ning Ning replied very meekly.
How long has it been? It seemed that it would take time for her to sort it out, and finally learned that the girl had been abducted, probably two weeks ago.
The little girl wore a dirty underwear, and the crimson scars on her skin were exposed from the clothes, which was particularly distressing, at this time, she suddenly looked at Lin Yong's hand and said, "Your hand has shed a lot of blood~"
Lin Yong looked at his hands, his right hand was just a few skin injuries, but his left hand was already so painful that he was unconscious because of being pierced by a Tibetan knife, except for his thumb and ring finger, he could barely move, and the other fingers were not to be moved, and he couldn't even feel their existence......
Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Yong smiled at Ning Ning with a smile on his face: "Silly girl, this is also called bleeding a lot?" Once I also broke my hand, bleeding was like turning on a faucet, and it didn't end for three days and three nights, this little injury is not a problem for me~"
Ning Ning chuckled: "Bragging~"
"Alright, my hair is almost dry, put the quilt over and sleep. ”
Ning Ning obediently climbed into the quilt, revealing her little head, still looking at Lin Yong blankly.
"Close your eyes~!" Lin Yong said loudly.
The little girl quickly closed her eyes, squinted and opened one eye again for a while, and saw Lin Yong plugging in the door bolt and entering the bathroom, and then she fell asleep quietly.
Gently taking off his clothes, revealing his blue and purple body, Lin Yong walked into the shower room and turned on the hot water, letting the hot water leave every scar on himself. He rinsed his left hand, the wound on his palm was hideous, but it was not red and swollen, which should be attributed to the causal nature of his virus. However, the absence of infection does not mean that all external injuries are ignored, and the intricate nerves in the palm of the hand will inevitably be permanently damaged, and one's original flexible fingers may no longer exist...... This hand, it can't be useless......
That's the price of doing good!
After calming down, the desire to vomit after killing in Lin Yong's heart began to invade his whole body, and he squatted for a long time before he recovered. A palm slapped on the wall of the bathroom, people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. If he is so reckless and reckless, regardless of his own safety, sooner or later it will not be the hooded man who will lie in the ridge, but himself!
After coming out of the shower, Lin Yong retied the bandages and looked at Ning Ning on the bed. She slept with a cute snoring sound. Lin Yong gritted his teeth and decided to come together tomorrow to send this little girl to the vicinity of the police station and let the police take her away.
Spreading his coat on his body and half-lying on the armchair, Lin Yong endured the pain in his left hand and closed his eyes......
............
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yong was no longer in the cramped inn, but in an even narrower tunnel. Black ants walked past him without a trace of slackness.
Lin Yong moved his body, looked at the surrounding environment, and made sure that he had returned to reincarnation and became a member of the ant world again.
Watching the ant army rushing out in a hurry, and returning with large and small food, Lin Yong's heart moved, he couldn't shake the big tree for a while, why not study the ants themselves, anyway, the tree can't run away.
Thinking of this, Lin Yong drove his small body and climbed into the reverse of the ant army, he wanted to explore the inner world of this ant hole.
This ant hole is intricate, and there are no road markings, Lin Yong stumbled in it, and after going around for a long time, he finally climbed to a slightly open platform.
As soon as he entered this platform, Lin Yong only felt that his goosebumps fell to the ground (of course, ants do not have goosebumps), and the entire platform, whether it was on the ground, on the wall, or in the sky, was covered with dense ants, and it was estimated that there were almost thousands of ants in this hole!
In the center of the platform, there is an ant that is particularly eye-catching, its body is three or four times larger than that of ordinary ants, although the body is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen like ordinary ants, but its abdomen is out of proportion like a bulging balloon, and there are special lines on it. He was moving his stout six arms, crawling through the cave little by little.
Lin Yong looked at the big insect in front of him in amazement, he knew that the queen ant played the role of reproduction and domination in the ant community, that is to say, this queen ant was his nominal boss.
He approached it little by little, and found that the worker ants around the queen ant were exceptionally strong, like the royal guards protecting the queen ant inside, and as soon as he got closer, he noticed himself very vigilantly, but when they found that they also had the breath of the colony, they continued to crawl around the queen ant, ignoring themselves.
Finally came to the queen ant's side, tilted his head to face this behemoth, Lin Yong began to study how this queen ant leader controlled the behavior of so many ants. But after studying for a long time, there is no difference except that the smell on its body is not quite the same as that of other ants?
Wait, taste!
Could it be that ants transmit information through taste? Lin Yong shook his tentacles carefully, feeling the distinctive breath of the queen ant. After sniffing carefully, Lin Yong was shocked on the spot, and a huge amount of information instantly poured into his brain, no, this is not information, it is simply an absolute order!
Every ant, from the outing, route, queue, target, patrol, protection, attack, etc., is reflected in every detail in this strong smell!
There are 128,421 ants in the entire ant army! It is like a fully functioning machine, controlled by the queen ant, Lin Yong found that if he did not have the free consciousness of human beings, he would probably follow the ant army out of the hole to find food.
That's the scent power of the queen ant – pheromones.
Lin Yong's heart began to roll up a storm, he really couldn't shake the big tree with one ant, but if he had the ability of the queen ant, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand ants......
Even if it's a mountain, I can move it for him!
