Doomsday Totem

Chapter 174 The Soldier Ant
Tie Slag tilted his head and gave Mu Qianhe a displeased look, but the latter didn't seem to notice the strangeness in his eyes.I saw her stretching, yawned, and then said "I'm so sleepy~", and then lay down.Not long after, she fell asleep under his gaze...

Seeing Mu Qianhe sleeping soundly, Tie Zha scratched at her hair, picked up the marching blanket beside her and covered her.Then he gently opened the canvas curtain and got out.He couldn't stay in the tent, because the most taboo thing in marching and fighting was that the chief played with women, and the soldiers suffered from the cold.Such behavior will create a huge psychological imbalance, which will cause most of the soldiers and officers to be alienated, and lead to a decrease in the cohesion of the team.However, when facing this girl who was somewhat similar to Lena, he felt a little headache.Perhaps it was because of years of accumulating prestige that he felt an instinctive sense of powerlessness towards a creature like Lina.

If you can't afford it, just hide...

A rainproof shelter was propped up on the open space in front, and Wang Hu, Ju Amu and Ren Yunfei were warming up around the kerosene stove at this time.Seeing the head of the regiment approaching, Wang Hu took the lead and stood up, with a straight military posture, and gave a standard military salute with standard movements.

Iron Slag grabbed a marching chair and sat by the kerosene stove, then asked why they were still up.Wang Hu said that tonight was the first night, and he, Ren Yunfei and Ju Amu were in charge of guarding the first half of the night.Tie Slag nodded, saying that everyone has worked hard.Ju Amu smiled foolishly, and said that it was not hard work, and it was his blessing to be able to fight the world with Brother Tie.Tie Slag nodded and did not speak any more.Next, he quietly watched the dancing flames in the kerosene stove, and stayed in a daze for a long time.

This rain shelter is located in the very center of the camp, and Slag's tent is directly facing it.Just now, Wang Hu saw Mu Qianhe sneak in, he could guess that the group leader stayed here to avoid suspicion.So he proposed that the head of the regiment go to his tent to rest.

Tie Slag shook his head, saying that he was not sleepy, he just sat here and warmed himself by the fire.Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wang Hu didn't say anything more.

But in fact, he was really sleepy.However, Mu Qianhe is sleeping in his tent right now, if he goes to Wang Hu's tent to rest.Then when they wake up tomorrow morning, the soldiers will mistakenly think that he is enjoying the soft meat and warm fragrance in the tent if they can't see him.In order to avoid suspicion, he must sit here so that everyone can see him.

After a few hours, the night watchmen changed, and Wang Hu and others went back to their tents to rest.

It was still raining in the sky, and the raindrops fell on the canopy, making a slight sound.In the early hours of the morning, the night watchmen changed from group to group, but Iron Slag was still sitting by the kerosene stove, staring at the dancing flames.

"Winter is coming, and eternal night is coming..." Kezan's voice lingered in his ears for a long time.

The next morning, the rain stopped.Mu Qianhe got out of the tent, looked at Iron Slag sitting in the canopy, his expression became a little complicated.About half an hour later, everyone packed their bags and set off again.After the rain, the jungle was wet and muddy everywhere. The team moved very slowly, and it took a whole day to advance 12km.

It rained again on the third day, and everyone seemed to be fished out of the water, and there was no dry place on their bodies.Iron Slag ordered the team to stop moving forward and repair on the spot.

At noon on the fifth day, the rain finally stopped, the sun shone through the thick broad leaves, and the jungle was warm.Taking advantage of the good weather, everyone quickly packed their bags and drove towards their destination.

But it didn't take long before it rained again.This time it was pouring rain, and it was so dark that day that you couldn't see your fingers.Even the calmest Wang Hu couldn't help cursing: "Damn it!"

In this way, the team walked for eleven days in the harsh environment, and finally arrived at the destination 30KM away.During the period, they encountered a few lonely crickets.After only one face-to-face encounter, Tiaoling was shot to death by the soldiers and turned into a beehive.

At this point, if they walk a little further, they will leave the coverage of the satellite signal.At that time, all satellite communication equipment will be disabled, including long-distance communication and coordinate positioning.

After entering the edge, Iron Slag sat on the locomotive, raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and then ordered in a low voice.

"Alice, activate the life scanner."

"Tat...tat...tat...tat...tat...tat..." Along with the slight sound of typing, round characters flashed on the main screen of Red Comet.

[Sorry, my team leader, the detection principle of the life scanner is based on the body temperature of the creature, while the body temperature of the bee and ant colony is low, and the vegetation in the jungle is too dense, the detection range of the life scanner is lower than that of the visual scanner]
"Any suggestions?"

[The team repaired on the spot, and sent two three-person teams into the area where the satellite signal lost contact, searched the nearby area, and made the next step according to the investigation situation]
Just as Iron Slag was communicating with Alice, a scream came from behind the team.

"Stinger! It's a stinger!" "Everyone, be careful!" "Find a cover!" "Squat down!" The team became commotion, and the soldiers looked around nervously.Iron Slag quickly turned the car around and rushed back.Not far ahead, a transport worker was pinned to the rubber wheel of a woodland vehicle by a pale spike.

In less than a few seconds, the worker stopped struggling.He rolled his eyes and stared blankly at the sky.And his chest was constantly emitting white smoke, and there was a sound of "chi chi chi...".At this moment, there is a pungent sour smell in the air, which is also mixed with the smell of burnt flesh, which is disgusting.However, no one dared to step forward to help the worker, and just watched him gradually melt.

According to the analysis in the textbook, the sharp thorn that took the worker's life was a long-range weapon of the thorn bug.Inside that spike is a pipe filled with a highly corrosive acid.When the spike hits the target, the acid will be injected into the target's interior, and then corrode everything.

"Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da..."

Suddenly, no one knew who went off.The soldiers fired one after another, aimlessly strafing the dense forest ahead.In an instant, dense bullets passed through the woods, causing sawdust to fly everywhere and leaves flying.

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!" Wang Hu shouted to stop.At this moment, a pale spike flew over without a sound, and plunged into the ground beside Wang Hu.Wang Hu looked for the sharp parabolic trajectory, locked on a certain place in the dense forest, and then shouted loudly: "At three o'clock, shoot!"

"Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da... Da da da..."

The soldiers frantically pulled the trigger, emptying all the bullets in the magazine.After a burst of intensive gunfire, there was a slight howling in the dense forest.Taking advantage of the gap between reloading, Iron Slag shouted loudly: "Stop shooting, retreat!" He rushed towards the source of the sound while shouting, and at the same time drew out the shotgun behind him, and opened the gun with a "click". chamber, stuffed with two red shotguns.

"Turn on the safety catch, whoever dares to shoot, I'll kill him!" Wang Hu roared as he saw Iron Slag rushing into the dense forest.The soldiers raised their guns and retreated.

At the same time, not far in front of them, Iron Slag was moving forward rapidly following the sound of howling.He jumped over several piles of bushes in a row, and caught up with a stinging insect fleeing in a hurry.This thorn insect was more than two meters tall, and its lower body was covered with fine scales like a python.At this moment, it was twisting its body and winding forward, leaving behind a dark green mucus all over the place.

"boom!"

The moment he saw the thorn insect, Iron Slag fired a shot, and the scorching iron sand hit the carapace on the thorn insect's back, making it stagger and hit the tree trunk in front of him.Seeing that the blow worked, Iron Slag didn't rush to catch up, but stayed where he was and loaded the bullet.With a "click", two red shotguns slid into the barrel of the gun.

The stinger swayed and seemed to be on the verge of falling.However, all this is an illusion.In the next second, it turned around suddenly and shot a pale spike at the same time.However, its opponents were well prepared.I saw that the human body was slightly sideways, and easily passed the spikes.

"Whoosh!" There was a soft sound, and the pale spikes flew backwards against the iron slag's clothes, and nailed to a tree trunk.At the same time, Iron Slag raised the shotgun, aimed at the stinging insect's ferocious head, and blasted it with one shot!In an instant, countless lead bullets hit the front of the thorn insect, making its mucus splatter, and its sharp claws flying!
Immediately afterwards, the huge momentum knocked it back for a certain distance, and it barely stopped the castration until it hit the tree trunk heavily.At this time, Tie Slag drew out his single-edged straight sword and walked over step by step.In the blink of an eye, the thorn worm let out a sharp neigh, raised the only remaining sickle-shaped forefoot, and rushed towards the iron slag.At this moment, one of the two pairs of large scythe legs of the stinging insect was blown away, and all the small scythe legs used for cutting food were broken off, leaving only the second half hanging on the insect's body.

Facing the thorn insect's last struggle, Tie Slag walked forward slowly, and when it touched his body, he suddenly provoked it with a knife.

With a soft sound of "嗤...", the cold light streaked across the body of the thorn insect from bottom to top.In an instant, dark green mucus spurted out.Slag dodged sideways, avoiding the splash of slime.

In the silent silence, the tall thorn worm tilted its body, and its upper body slid to the ground.Iron Slag turned his head and spit out a mouthful of saliva on the thorn bug's wound.

A moment later, big red ants with fangs and claws, ferocious faces, spiked carapaces all over, and slender six limbs emerged from the flesh and blood of the stinging insects.According to the use some time ago, Tie Slag called this kind of ants-scout soldier ants, which was named after Wu Congyun's "scout worker bees".At present, the greatest use of the scout soldier ants is to investigate the surrounding environment, and their sense of sight and smell will be transmitted to Iron Slag's mind immediately.After a series of tests, he found that the action range of the scout soldier ants cannot exceed 2000 meters, and the closer to the limit distance, the more blurred his perception will be.

Not long after, the corpses of the thorn insects were gradually dried, and the number of scout ants gathered in front of Tie Slag reached about thirty.Just then, footsteps came from behind.With a thought in Tie Slag's mind, the scout soldiers rushed to the depths of the dense forest immediately.

A few seconds later, Wang Hu rushed to the scene with his team.Iron Slag raised his hand, signaling them to retreat.Wang Hu nodded immediately, and led the team back the same way without saying a word.

When they were far away, Iron Slag recalled the scout army, first devoured the flesh and blood of the thorn insects, then scattered the remains and dragged them into the depths of the dense forest.After finishing all this, Tie Slag had a thought, and the scouting soldiers scattered and crawled into the depths of the dense forest...

A few minutes later, Tie Slag returned to the team and issued the latest order to Wang Hu: "Build a defense line and repair it on the spot." The latter took the order loudly, and then called his teammates and transport workers to prepare to establish a temporary defense line.

While the team members were busy, Iron Slag climbed onto the roof of a mountain bike and stared into the depths of the dense forest.At this moment, his sight became extremely far-reaching. The jungle hidden in danger in front of him gradually turned into his own back garden, as if everything was under his control.

At this moment, in the forest 600 meters away, a scout soldier ant crawled out of the bushes and "saw" a wandering thorn insect.

At the same time, in Iron Slag's line of sight, a red silhouette appeared.Immediately afterwards, he took off the psychic warrior rifle, and with a "click", he pulled the bolt and inserted a blank psychic bullet.Then he picked up the gun and began to charge spiritual energy.A few seconds later, the crystal clear star sand gradually flowed into the empty bullet along the texture of the gun body

The next moment, he aimed at the red outline 600 meters away through the dense jungle.At the moment when the charging was completed, he firmly pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

Following the sound of a deep and long shot, a blue light pierced through countless branches, leaves and twigs, and slammed on the wandering thorn insects.With a bang, blue light shot out through the chest, taking away a large piece of internal organs.It didn't even have time to let out a wailing cry before it fell to the ground.Looking at it with a fixed eye, the psionic armor-piercing bullet caused a bowl-sized wound on its chest.But this is nothing, the wound on its back is even more shocking, it is as big as a washbasin.

With a thought in Tie Slag's mind, the scout ants rushed over from all directions, ready to eat the carcass of the thorn insects.
