Chapter 494

Where is that sound coming from?
I thought to myself: Am I worrying too much?I am more vigilant, so I greeted Tofu and prepared to get out of the car to check.Tofu grabbed my arm and said, "In the middle of the night, what if those ground apes are still around? Don't make trouble for nothing. It's safe for us to hide in the car."

I saw Tofu's worried look, and there seemed to be no change in the surroundings, so I nodded, continued to smoke, and chatted with Tofu.

Tofu said: "Tell me, can the wood still come out?"

"have no idea,"

Tofu said: "I hope it can come out alive, maybe we will be very old by then."

I said: "Don't think too much, no one can tell what will happen in the future." In fact, I still have a doubt in my heart, that is, if the corpse fairy really comes out safely, will he feel resentment towards us?Or in other words, it has sucked the virtual mass, and it doesn't know what it will look like, so what will happen then?Of course, I didn't mention these speculations to Tofu, his mind is already entangled enough, let's put some more questions into it. , It is estimated that he will be strangled to death.

While we were chatting, I felt that the swishing sound became clearer. This time, I can be sure that I am definitely not being careless, because even the tofu heard it.His expression became a little nervous, and he quickly woke up Haricha Gai and Zhuan Rui, and said, "Listen, what is this sound?"

Zhuan Rui moved his ears, and suddenly said, "The sound seems to be coming from under our car."

Everyone couldn't help lowering their heads in unison. Everything inside the car remained the same, and the sound seemed to come from under the chassis.At this time, Harichagai suddenly let out a cry, as if remembering something, with a ruffian-like smile on his face, he said: "This reminds me of man-eating ants, these things secrete a corrosive saliva, Attracted by the smell of blood, they will gather, and if they get into the chassis, the car will easily be paralyzed."

Tofu suddenly asked nervously, "Is the man-eating ant you're talking about as big as a beetle with a red head?"

Harichagai smiled and said, "Old man, you are very smart." Tofu swallowed, and said, "Don't pretend to be young, you are only two years younger than me. Look at the top of the window..." As a reminder, I just realized that the edge of the car window was covered with red-headed ants the size of a beetle without knowing when.

Man-eating ants!
Where these things crawl, there will be some white foamy things left, which are probably corrosive liquids spit out. An ant spits out very little, but when these cannibals gather, the amount spit out is very considerable. , It didn't take long for the entire window sill to turn white, causing the brushes around it to slowly dissolve. That kind of change really makes people's scalp tingle.

Zhuan Rui was still very calm at this moment, he exhaled slightly, and said sharply, "Drive."

Harichagai seemed to look like this when the sky fell, wiped his red hair on his forehead, whistled, and started the car suddenly.In the darkness, the headlights came on, and the Hummer rushed out, galloping bumpily across the gravel-covered surface.

Because there are many sandstones in this place, the driving area is very small. I lay on the back seat and looked at the previous position through the taillights, but found that there were densely packed red-headed man-eating ants below. It was attracted by the bloody smell of the earth ape.

The car was extremely bumpy, and Tofu scolded: "Fuck, why is it so difficult to sleep peacefully? I know there are man-eating ants in this place, but why didn't I know that there are earth apes? If I had known, I wouldn't have shot just now. "

Harichagai said with a smirk: "If you don't shoot, you'll just wait to be poisoned to death by the ground ape. In fact, this thing is relatively rare. It is said that it was turned into those corpses with unsatisfied grievances in the ancient battlefield. It only comes out at night, and Afraid of the fire. It’s only our fault that we didn’t pay attention to the fire at the time, so we gave them a chance.”

While speaking, the car stopped suddenly and made a chug-chug sound.Harichagai hammered the steering wheel hard, then loosened his body, spread his hands and said, "No, the car is broken."

Tofu said anxiously: "It's broken? Damn, this is a Hummer. I haven't tossed it much yet, why is it broken?"

Zhuanrui was more reliable, and asked Harichagai, "Is it because the man-eating ants are inside the chassis?"

Harichagai nodded, and said: "And there must be a lot of them. I guess some places have been corroded, and now I can't fire." After catching up, there was a swishing sound as he moved.Tofu's face was pale, and he was about to cry, and said: "It's all my fault. If I knew this, I shouldn't have stopped you just now. We discovered the danger earlier, and it's not like this now. I wanted to help, but I got into trouble again. .”

I said: "Little ancestor, I'm not dead yet, don't rush to send me a funeral. Don't blame you, if I went out blindly just now, I might have been gnawed into a skeleton by these man-eating ants. Don't worry, it's still time to die." It's safe, let's think of a way, don't you usually carry dichlorvos? Take it out and try."

Tofu said sullenly: "The wood is gone, I feel uncomfortable seeing Dichlorvos, so I didn't bring it this time."

I just felt that my breath was choked in my throat, and I almost choked to death. Harichagai was even more impolite, laughing loudly, without looking scared, with a gloating expression.Zhuan Rui shook his head, as if he had expected it, showing that he never had any hope for tofu, and said: "They have come, they are merciless, take out solid fuel to burn."

It is impossible for everyone to sit still and immediately dig out the solid fuel and string it up with a crowbar to make a torch.At this moment, those man-eating ants had already caught up, and they were so dense that they covered the entire window of the car.Before our torches were lit, Zhuan Rui shook his head and said, "No, that's right, one pile will be burned to death, and the other pile will get in, which will probably eat us up. Don't light the fire, don't open the window."

Tofu saw that Harichagai still had the same irresistible and playful smile, and said anxiously and angrily, "You are really not afraid of death! Hurry up and think of a way, and pretend to be aggressive."

Harichagai snapped his fingers and said, "You're right, I'm really not afraid of death. What's the use of being afraid, if you're afraid of them, they can let you go?"

I saw that the kid didn't care about it at all, so I couldn't help asking: "Seeing that you are not panicking, is there something you can do?"

Haricha Gai smiled slightly and spit out two words: "No."

Tofu said angrily: "Why don't you put on such a bullshit look?"

Harichagai shrugged and said, "Pretentious."

Zhuanrui and I looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile wryly. At this moment, the entire Humvee was covered with man-eating ants, and the car couldn't start. Although their strength is not enough to corrode steel cars, the windows are Covered by the brushes, after these brushes are corroded, some small cracks will be exposed, and sooner or later these things will get in.

I couldn't think of a way to get out of the predicament at the moment, so I could only plan for the worst first, tell Tofu not to quarrel with Harichagai, take out some small iron tools in the equipment bag, and keep an eye on the car windows. Where there is corrosion, use these iron tools to top it.

Seeing us busy one by one, Harichagai finally showed mercy and said, "Actually, there is no need to be so afraid. These things hide in the crevices during the day. It is too hot for them to stand. As long as they last until dawn, they will be fine." Immediately afterwards, he looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and said, "Warriors, there are still four hours before dawn. For our children and grandchildren, come on."

Tofu tilted his head, wondering: "What does it have to do with future generations?"

Harichagai sneered and said: "If you want to become a skeleton, can you still have offspring? Ah, that's right, with your gene, leaving offspring is also a disaster for mankind." Seeing that the tofu was about to go mad, I kicked him directly and said, "When will you learn to be calm? Is it time to quarrel? Hurry up and work."

Next, the few of us guarded the windows on our respective sides. Once there was a leak, we immediately plugged it with something made of iron. For a while, but about an hour or so, the car suddenly became stuffy. Harichagai said: "There is no electricity, and the air conditioner has stopped. We must find a way to ventilate, otherwise we will suffocate to death."

Tofu said: "Damn, you didn't tell me earlier, who made you waste electricity by listening to music all the time."

Harichagai pointed to the top, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said, "God's will."

Tofu took a deep breath, and said to me: "Old Chen, don't stop me, let me strangle this pretender, and then throw it out, maybe these ants will eat him, and ignore us when they are full " I shook my head and said, "Anything you want." Immediately afterwards, I looked at Zhuan Rui and asked him what to do.

The masked half of Zhuan Rui's face was hidden in the darkness. He let out a deep breath, and the expression on the remaining half of his face seemed elusive. Finally, he said: "It seems that we can't hide. According to the original plan, Ignite the ignition, I will count to three in a while, put on your gear, open the door and run!"

Tofu stopped to pinch Harichagai's hand, and said, "Where are you going?"

Zhuan Rui said: "Run to an open place." If you run to a rough place, it will only slow down our own speed, but for man-eating ants, there is no difference between rough and flat.

I said: "That's the only way." Immediately, everyone took out the equipment from the back seat of the car and fastened the buttons on their backs. Finally, the four of them held the car door guards and listened to Zhuanrui counting: "One, two, three ……run!"
