Chapter 61: Ant Colony (1)
Jiang Mantian watched everyone leave, and a faint sadness swelled up in his heart inexplicably.
Xu Yue suddenly said softly: "You have fulfilled him, who will fulfill you?"
Jiang Mantian was stunned, knowing that she was smart and had already seen Tian Guangye's ambitions. It's just that she may not understand that ambition is also the basic driving force for the development of the world. As long as the world is developing, he has no opinion on whoever enjoys the fruits of development.
To be more precise, Jiang Mantian has never been afraid of other people's ambitions, because he himself has no ambitions.
In the eyes of others, perhaps power, status, and wealth are the most important, but in his eyes, this is precisely the least needed.
He just wanted to be a pure scientist.
If the times don't require him to be a scientist, he can do any kind of work at will, as long as the income is enough to live an ordinary life, it is enough.
Perhaps, that way he would be happier.
"What's that?" Long Yuandong held up the binoculars, and when he found a little abnormality, he was full of soldiers, as if he was facing a great enemy.
He Tingting stared at it, and a black line appeared at the junction of the snow and the sky.
The line is getting thicker and longer, like an open embrace, about to completely surround the base.
"Ant colony? mutant ant colony?" He Tingting was shocked and said, "This is an evolved black ant colony!"
Lin Xiaoqing said: "Black ants have a hard shell, and there are too many of them, there must be weapons of mass destruction to block it slightly!"
Everyone knows that ants are known for their strength, but in fact, their endurance and speed are even more amazing.
Before the end of the world, the fastest record of a human 100-meter sprint was about 9.6 seconds, if a person's height was 1.9 meters, 100 meters was equivalent to a distance of 53 heights, and the black ants before the mutation ran a distance equivalent to their 53 body lengths, which took only 2 seconds, and the relative speed was 5 times that of humans!
It has been observed that black ants can run for more than 4 hours with twice their weight on their backs! And after the evolution of the black ants, the indicators will of course be more perverted!
Long Yuandong shouted: "All of them! Listen to my command! Withdraw the gun! Change the incendiary bomb! Prepare the grenade! All the fire attribute personnel, come to the front line!"
Jiang Mantian quickly estimated the current situation.
In five minutes at most, the ant colony will be surrounding the base.
Under the full siege of the ant colony, it would be a blessing if the base could hold out for thirty minutes without collapsing. Thirty minutes later, all together, about half of the people can safely retreat into the combat warehouse or the underground space of the ground aircraft carrier, and the remaining half of the people, whether they can survive the ant colony or not, can only depend on the creation.
If Tian Guangye can open the ground aircraft carrier ship in time and come out to rescue it in time, then most people still have hope of survival. However, according to the calculation of the time of Tian Guangye's departure, even if the land aircraft carrier is successfully opened, it will take at least half an hour before reinforcements can come to the ground. So, in any case, they have to withstand more than half an hour.
But black ants don't give humans half an hour.
The northern line of defense is the first to come into contact with the ant colony.
The black ants were strong and fast, but they were not good at jumping, and when they came to the trench outside the city, they almost did not hesitate to pounce into the ditch.
There were obstacles such as sulfur, charcoal, and sharp knives in the trenches, and Long Yuandong had already ignited them one step ahead of time, forming a fire ditch barrier.
But ants don't care about that.
They have an absolute advantage in numbers, and at the same time, each ant is quite small, the large size is like a rabbit, the small body is longer than a palm, the carapace is like iron, the six limbs are like thorns, and the attack and defense power are extremely amazing.
The ants rolled and rolled, quickly extinguishing the flames and filling the trenches. The endless ant colony behind did not stop, stepping on the ant companions in the trench, and continued to pounce towards the city wall.
Long Yuandong threw down a grenade, killing a group of giant ants, and then hundreds of grenades, dozens of explosive packs, and dozens of incendiary bombs were thrown down the city wall one after another, and the explosion wave was deafening.
Countless charred corpses under the city were all burning.
If the colony knows only to move forward and has nothing else to do, it doesn't seem to be enough to be afraid. At least there are a lot of incendiary bombs and explosives in the city.
But this is nothing but a beautiful reverie of mankind.
The ant colony was temporarily stopped by the incendiary bomb, and retreated more than ten feet back, and the ant colony was scattered like sand, and suddenly formed a huge black ball with a diameter of more than five meters.
Hundreds of ant balls rolled forward in the wind. And behind, followed by more ants, like behind a tank, followed by a large group of infantry.
Long Yuandong's face changed abruptly.
Although the ants gather into a large ball, although they can be easily killed in batches by grenades and explosives, they can use the sacrifice of external ants to preserve the strength of the ball ants, so as to minimize the damage caused by incendiary bombs.
The height of the city wall is only three meters, and the diameter of the ant ball is up to five meters, once the ant ball crosses the defense line of grenades and explosives and successfully hits the city wall, there are immediately thousands of ants, over the city wall, sweeping the crowd on the city wall, opening a gap, and more ants behind can swarm up, take advantage of the momentum, and can no longer be stopped.
Explosive packets and incendiary bombs rained down, but they couldn't keep all the ant balls out. Seven or eight ant balls dodged the bomb attack and crashed into the city wall with smoke and fire.
He Dali has all his strength, but he is helpless.
In the face of an almost endless colony, not only is it useless to have a lot of strength, but even most attribute abilities are useless.
Long Yuandong's eyes widened with anger, and he was already planning to use his body to touch the nearest ant ball.
As a metal attribute, he can temper his skin as if he were wearing a layer of armor, and even in an ant colony, he can hold on for a while. As for what to do with the other ant balls, he couldn't take care of it.
Time did not wait to hold Long Yuandong.
As the owner of the rare attribute of "time", he is not as weak as others see. On the contrary, he can play a disruptive role in certain critical moments.
Everyone, including Long Yuandong, suddenly felt that their eyes were dazzled, and the ants moving at high speed, like slow motion in the movie, were slowly approaching the city wall, but the speed of human beings was not slow at all.
It's not an illusion.
Jiang Mantian shouted: "Quickly throw the incendiary bomb into the ant ball!"
The warriors on the city wall suddenly came to their senses, lit the incendiary bomb in their hand, and threw it into the giant ant ball that almost hit the city wall a few steps. Fierce flames ignited from inside the antball, and after a few seconds, the antball collapsed and turned into a raging bonfire.
Shi Bu looked at the burning ant colony, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Happy!" Two lines of blood spurted out of his nose, his eyes rolled up, and he fell softly.
He overdrew his potential and used the skill of "Time Fragmentation" to slow down the time of the ant colony by a factor of ten, one second after the colony, and ten seconds for humans. In humans' eyes, an ant colony is almost at rest.
But slowing down the local time is a thing against the sky. Since it is a matter against the sky, of course there will be backlash.
