Chapter 97: Marching Ants
Jack said, "After listening to me, I also fainted, and then had a terrible dream, that is, there were countless red bugs the size of ants, invading our base two, eating all of us down to the head. I watched as my body turned into a pile of bones. ”
Seeing that Lulu stared at him and didn't speak, Jack continued: "When I woke up, I saw that the others also got up one after another, and asked each other, and we actually fainted at the same time and had exactly the same dream. Then use the radio to ask everyone inside and outside Base 2, and it's all like this! ”
Lulu sneered and said, "Hmph, so you ran away?" ”
Jack smiled wryly and said, "I'll show you a video." ”
With that, Jack Void pressed the mouse, and a 3D video began to play in front of him.
I saw that the field of vision was from the sky near Base No. 2, and at a distance of about ten kilometers from the plain outside the city walls, there was a large area of blood-red about one kilometer wide and about two kilometers long slowly spreading towards Base No. 2.
Jack said, "That's the bug we saw in our dreams!" Isn't that like a terrible marching ant on our planet? I'm not sure if our insect repellent will work, so I ordered all to retreat! Only a helicopter was left to watch in the air to see if the insect repellent on the city walls and around the base was effective. ”
Lulu said, "Why didn't you ask me before you retreated?" ”
Jack said, "I'm sorry, Commander, everyone is so scared, so run first..."
Lulu said, "Okay, then you guys should come back first." I'd rather see what those so-called marching ants are capable of breaking through our insect repellent lines. ”
At this time, I saw that the blood-red army of insects on the ground had advanced to a distance of about 9.5 kilometers from Base 2.
Wherever these insects passed, they left behind piles of white bones of animals of all sizes, but these white bones were like Jack's description of the dream, and the head was intact.
The camera zooms in, and you can see that some of these animals are not dead yet, letting out bursts of wails, and some are still staring at their bodies and skeletons even though they are dead.
Lulu said: "Link this helicopter pilot's communication. ”
When another 3D projection window appeared in front of her, Lulu turned her head and said, "I'm Lulu, I'm now ordering you to fire three cannons, targeting the back of this pile of bugs." ”
The white girl in the helicopter nodded and said, "Okay, Commander." ”
After speaking, the girl used the virtual mouse to adjust the universal cannon under the belly of the machine, aimed at the rear of the army of bugs on the ground, and then used the virtual keyboard to set the shooting base, and pressed the mechanical shooting button on the steering stick.
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!! ”
The three cannons shot out, like a few drops of water poured into a pile of fire, did not seem to have any effect on the group of bugs.
Lulu said, "The camera zooms in to see how the shot looks. ”
As the camera zooms in, you can see that after the bug army left, hundreds of small bugs and some insect corpses were left behind, and their appearance was really like the big ants of the earth, with many legs, chelae, and blood red.
Lulu said, "Unleash the drone and pick up some bug corpses. ”
Jack said at this time: "Commander, this happened before more than a thousand of us had time to eat. Hopefully the base can help us prepare. ”
Lulu said: "Okay, computer, tell the logistics department to prepare food for the people in Base 2, and free up part of the apartment building 9 for them to rest." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Man Man, who was still dancing and smoking a cigar, and said, "Come on, send the man leader to the sofa in the next conference room to rest." ”
After Manman was dragged away by several soldiers, Lulu said, "Computer, ask someone from the guard company to invite Manman's mother, Manda, to me." ”
Soon, a female elderly Morito is taken to Lulu's office by two soldiers.
After Lulu invited the other party to sit down on the sofa, she said in English, "Dear Grandma Manda, we have now encountered a strange creature, I hope you can help me identify it." ”
Manda, who was also wearing a green digital jumpsuit and the same boots on her feet, glanced at Lulu after listening to the computer translation, rubbed her hands together and said in the card control language: "Of course I will do what the commander explains." ”
Lulu said, "The computer, start playing the long-range and close-up of those red bugs. and videos of them gnawing on animal bodies. ”
When the video finished playing in front of Manda, she stroked her chest and said, "It's horrible, but I've never seen or heard of it." ”
Lulu said, "Okay, now please go back, and ask the other elderly Senhu of your tribe when you go back, and if they say they have seen it, I hope you will definitely inform me." ”
Manda nodded vigorously and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”
When Manda left, Jack, who had been projecting on the other side, said, "Commander Lulu, even the oldest Morido doesn't know them. Looks like these bugs are very difficult to deal with. ”
Lulu said, "Indeed. Let's wait a little longer and see if they can break through our insect guard defenses, and then move on to the next step, where are you flying now? ”
"We've got an hour and a half to get to Base One," Jack said. ”
Lulu said, "Okay, I'll go to the toilet first, and you can rest too." We'll contact you when the bugs are near the insect guard. ”
An hour later, helicopters stationed near Base 2 reported that the bug army was about to arrive at the perimeter of the base to be controlled by insect guards.
Lulu returned to the office and sat down, where the other seven senior leaders of the advance team were already seated on the sofa and several stools, and everyone looked at the 3D projection screen in front of them along with Jack on the plane.
On the ground around the base, small insect guards are also placed to protect the crops near the base from insect infestation.
At this time, everyone saw that these bugs had crossed the defense line of the small insect repellent and were not affected in the slightest.
Lulu said, "I had all the Morito show videos of bugs, and none of them knew about the. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, she continued, "I understand Mr. Jack's practice of cherishing the lives of his subordinates, but has he forgotten that we still have such a thing as an infrasonic transmitter? ”
Jack, who was projected on one side, patted his forehead at this time and said, "But what is the dream we have?" So it's understandable that we were scared and fled immediately. ”
