Chapter 277: Desert Marching Ants
Luckily, we were well equipped, with shelters, tents, camping lights, and more. In the evening, a few of us sat around the off-road vehicle and cooked a large pot of compressed biscuits and dehydrated vegetables, although the taste was not very good, we were all satisfied.
"We came here with such great difficulty, and we don't know if Jin is not staying in Lop Nur Town," Ye Lingwen said worriedly as he leaned against the wheel.
"Don't worry! Although Jin Buliu wants to kill us, he wants to get the method of immortality, especially after seeing us, how can he resist this huge temptation! As long as he hasn't obtained the secret method of immortality, Uncle Qin is safe," Ye Guangci comforted her.
"Jin Buliu fought with us several times, but he didn't get anything, and he lost his troops, I think he should be fully prepared this time," Nie Yu said.
I said: "It's really not good, let's take him to Qinling in Lishan and inject him with immortal stem cells, let him live forever if he wants to, in short, we must ensure Uncle Qin's safety!" ”
"That's the best, one more friend is better than one more enemy," Wei Shengjin interjected.
"At that time, we had no use value, and he might not let us go," Ye Guangci sighed.
"Yes, many of his father's and grandfather's ancestors died at our hands, and he has never given up chasing and killing us for two thousand years, and it is not so easy to turn enemies into friends," Nie Yu also said.
"What is that......" Before Nie finished speaking, Wei Shengjin pointed ahead and shouted.
We looked in the direction he was pointing, and in the hazy night, there were several large black balls on the sand, half a man high, rolling on the undulating sand dunes.
A few of us looked at it curiously, and none of us had ever seen anything like this.
After a while, the black balls rolled towards us.
"The wind must have swept up some of the dead branches of the bushes! When you get tangled together, it's a ball! Ye Lingwen said thoughtfully!
We all nodded, and felt it made sense.
Mos, who had not spoken, said slowly, "Where are the dead branches in this desert? This is an ant ball formed by marching ants! It is also a unique way for them to camp at night, they bite me and I bite him with their big jaws, and they are linked to each other and support each other, forming such a huge and stable ant ball. ”
Wei Shengjin smiled: "Oh! I see, that's interesting......"
"Oh! Come on...... It won't take more than a few minutes for a marching ant to eat a camel," I shouted.
Several of them didn't seem to have reacted yet, and were still watching with interest.
"Don't look at it! Come on! It's a man-eating ant! Marching ants are man-eating ants" Looking at a few goods, I still didn't seem to understand what I meant, I yelled at them, and after saying that, I grabbed the Ye Lingwen beside me and stepped back.
But it was too late, the black ball was incredibly fast, and in a blink of an eye it had rolled not far from us, and then it shattered, and the ant colony spread out like a tide, and the ground was instantly covered with dense ants.
"Get in the car, get in the car!" Ye Guangci shouted.
I wanted to turn around and take back the aluminum pot where the biscuits were cooking on the ground, and when I saw that the aluminum pot was already crawling with ants, a black layer, and the compressed biscuits we had just eaten in the pot were eaten clean in an instant, and there was nothing left.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly ran to the car, and I didn't care about any aluminum pots, but suddenly I felt numb and itchy everywhere in my calves, and it seemed that those marching ants had crawled into my pants.
I opened the car door and sat in the passenger cab, and Ye Lingwen also sat in the cab, but Wei Shengjin hadn't gotten into the car yet, so I yelled and pushed open the rear door to wait for him.
Ouch, the calf was suddenly pinched, like a pinprick in pain, and I screamed in pain, it seems that the ants have started eating.
"Ouch! Oops! Ye Lingwen also screamed, she was not spared like me, and the ants did not show mercy to her.
"Take off your jacket and pants," I said, taking off my pants.
Wei Shengjin also jumped into the car at this time and slammed the door shut.
"Holy! You two are still thinking about doing that... What a living pair," he shouted at us, slapping his body hard.
Ye Lingwen ignored him and started the car.
"Take off your clothes and pants! Hurry up and ......," I yelled at Wei Shengjin in the back row.
"What the do you want? You pervert ......"
"Take off your clothes and get rid of the ants, you idiot! What the are you thinking! Look at the top of your coat," I yelled at him, angry and anxious.
Wei Shengjin got into the car late, and there were more ants crawling on his coat than Ye Lingwen and me.
At this time, Ye Lingwen, who was driving, also groaned from time to time, and involuntarily slapped his arms, shoulders and thighs with his hands, and our car was like eating too much and burping. I threw my clothes out of the car window and helped her slap the ants on her body.
Ye Guangci's car followed behind, and as if they were drunk, they staggered forward, and almost rear-ended our car several times. It seems that they are not feeling good either.
After stumbling and driving for more than ten minutes, our two cars stopped.
"Moss! You idiot, you know it's marching ants, why didn't you remind us earlier? I got out of the car and slapped the ants on my body and yelled at Mos in pain.
"I didn't know you were afraid of ants!" Mos got out of the car and pinched the ants with his hands unhurriedly, like a monkey basking in the sun looking for lice on his body.
Nie Gu and Ye Guangci shouted and opened the car door and jumped out, jumping up and down, dancing and undressing, at first glance they thought they were dancing as a duet, and after a while, they took off only their underwear and rolled in the sand......
Wei Shengjin also took off only his underwear in the car, if it weren't for Ye Lingwen in the car, it is estimated that he would have taken off his underwear, he was taking his coat and pumping it wildly on himself, when he saw Ye Guangci and them like this, he quickly opened the car door and plunged into the sand.
Ye Lingwen was even more painful, after all, she was a girl and she was embarrassed to get out of the car, so she could only writhe in the car like an earthworm.
"Lingwen, get out of the car" I opened the car door and led Ye Lingwen to the other side of the car, so that she could take a good sand bath like Ye Guangci and them.
It took a while for everyone to clean up the ants from their bodies.
"It seems that we have underestimated this desert, everyone should clean up the wounds, and this ant doesn't know if it is poisonous or not."
"This is only slightly toxic, not fatal, but I am afraid of allergic reactions." Mos was afraid that I would scold her again, so he hid behind Nie Gu and said resignedly.
"We've been running for more than ten kilometers, those ants shouldn't have come over, we'll spend the night here tonight, everyone uses alcohol to clean the wounds, and everyone drinks some water, just in case, we take turns keeping vigil, the temperature in the desert is low at night, and many creatures come out at night," Ye Guangci said.
So a few of us men smeared the wounds all over the body with alcohol under the car, and Ye Lingwen went to the car to treat the wounds.
We formed an angle between the two carts, and set up a tent in the middle for Ye Lingwen to rest, and I asked Mos to accompany her.
The other four of us slept together in the two cars.
After such a toss, I had a terrible headache, tossing and turning for a long time before falling asleep in a daze, sleeping until the middle of the night was awakened by a soak of urine, I had to get up to pee, push the door of the car A chill hit, the night and day of the desert are really ice and fire, look at the dead darkness in the distance, if there is any sound at this time, then I must be scared half to death.
