Chapter 495

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of us slammed open the car door, and rushed out without saying a word.The moment we rushed out, many man-eating ants fell from the car door and landed on people's heads or necks. The man-eating ants on the ground, let alone you, brushed along our legs and wanted to go. climb up.

Fortunately, we had been prepared, and while running, the torches in our hands were sweeping randomly. These ants would ignite when they encountered a fire. For a while, the air was full of a burnt smell.Although there was a fire, it was inevitable that there were still some fish that slipped through the net and crawled around on the body. The number was not large. Although the bite was a bit painful, it could not cause any substantial damage.

We rushed out of the encirclement, and when we looked back, we saw that our Humvee had already turned into a bug horse, densely packed with man-eating ants covering the entire body, thinking that we were hiding in such a large car just now, let us People feel shuddering.

As soon as we ran, the man-eating ants were startled immediately, rushed up the car and retreated like a tide, and all of them chased us.The four of us didn't care to look much, holding torches, we ran all the way towards the open field, and the man-eating ants behind us made a scalp-numbing sound, chasing after us.

Harichagai's figure is very flexible, like a monkey, before he looked nonchalant, who knew that he was the fastest runner when he got out of the car.Zhuan Rui and I followed behind, and Tofu Hanchi Hanchi followed at the end, yelling, "Ahhh, we're almost overtaken."

When I looked back, those man-eating ants were only four or five meters away from Tofu, so I hurriedly shouted: "Throw away your equipment bag, speed up." Fuck, what kind of inferior goods are these, they are too tight to understand!"

I staggered to my feet, and felt like vomiting blood, and cursed: "You deserve it, wait to be gnawed on you."

Tofu ran after us and howled, "Don't leave me..." While fleeing for his life, a bend suddenly appeared in front of him, and Harichagai disappeared without a trace as soon as he turned around. Zhuan Rui and I I hurried to follow, but behind the bend, there were some red sandstones, seven or eight meters high, which seemed to block our way.

"Fuck." Harichagai cursed, I was startled, I reacted suddenly, and shouted: "Quick, block a wall of fire."

Tofu followed up now, and immediately put the torch on the ground, and Zhuanrui and I also quickly put the torch on the ground, forming a wall of fire in front, temporarily blocking the invasion of man-eating ants.Tofu scolded Harichagai and said, "Hongmao, that's how you lead the way. God, bring us to a dead end."

Without waiting for Harichagai to make a sound, I shouted: "Stop making noise, take out all the fuel." Because I found that the front of these man-eating ants was blocked by flames, and after retreating for a while, they continued to go here from the sandstone on the side. Crawling sideways, in desperation, we had to use solid fuel to set up the torches again, and sweep down all the man-eating ants crawling over from the side.

At this time, Harichagai said: "You guys hold on first, I'll climb over to have a look." After speaking, he rubbed his hands and climbed up the sandstone seven or eight meters high behind him.There are some holes and raised stones on the sandstone, so it is not difficult to climb.It's just that the three of us are working hard here, but that kid patted his ass and left, it really makes people want to scold his mother.

More and more man-eating ants were burned to death, and the burning smell of their companions' corpses seemed to arouse their viciousness, making them even more restless. Some of them even wanted to force their way through the fire wall, as if they were not afraid of death at all. energy.

Tofu said anxiously: "No, it won't last long if you go on like this." While waving the torch, he turned his head to Harichagai who had already climbed to the top and said, "Have you seen clearly what's going on behind? Hurry up."

With his back to us, Harichagai stood on a high place, motionless, as if he was looking at something, and seemed extremely engrossed. After Tofu finished speaking, the kid didn't say a word, and suddenly he started to slide down.This sandstone is sloped, but it can't bear to slide down like this, and it is estimated that the skin has been scratched.Before I understood what was going on, Harichagai rolled on the ground, stood up clutching his stomach, and said, "Run!"

I said, "Where are you going? What's going on!" Then, before he could speak, I suddenly understood.Because at the position where Harichagai was standing before, at some point, there were several more black shadows.Those skinny black shadows on all fours, what are they if they are not ground apes?
In the orange firelight, the face of the terrestrial ape flickered, and the mouth with slobber appeared very greedy and terrifying.At this moment, perhaps due to the firelight, or the taboo against the natural enemy man-eating ants, they did not jump down in a hurry, but blocked the sandstone behind us, looking at us with salivation.

I suddenly understood, it seems that behind the sandstone, it is probably the lair of the earth ape.

Now, it can be said that there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and there is no way out.

Even Zhuan Rui couldn't help but swear, and cursed in a low voice.Now, the four of us were stuck in this narrow encirclement, with the apes behind us and the man-eating ants in front, our only support was these solid fuels.

Solid fuel is very resistant to burning. Although we don’t carry much, it can burn for a long time when we break it apart. I estimate that it can last for about half an hour. Once the fire is extinguished, these man-eating ants will die pounce on.

The four of them were waving torches to drive away the man-eating ants while trying to think of a way. However, within ten minutes, as the fire gradually weakened, some of the man-eating ants rushed towards us regardless of the fire wall. What came was a burning smell.

With the sacrificial impact of the man-eating ants, the flame was immediately suppressed a lot, and it was about to go out. In desperation, I immediately took off my clothes to start the fire, and brought the fire back up.The rest of the people hurriedly followed suit, which greatly increased the time.

Soon, as time passed by, these man-eating ants became more and more anxious, and Tofu said: "What should I do, the clothes are almost burned out, and the pants will be burned next?" At this moment, I suddenly remembered , There seemed to be disinfectant alcohol in the equipment bag, and he quickly ordered Tofu to take out the alcohol, saying: "Sprinkle the alcohol and burn them to death."

Tofu slapped his forehead and said, "Why did you forget about this?" Dang even took out a small bottle of medical alcohol for disinfection from the equipment bag, swung the bottle and sprinkled the alcohol towards the place where the man-eating ants gathered, As soon as the flame came into contact with it, it spread out immediately, forming a sea of ​​flames in an instant, and the densely packed man-eating ants were surrounded by raging fire almost instantly.

I turned my head and saw that the ground apes were also frightened by the sudden increase in flames, and they all hid back. Everyone's hair was roasted into curls. In the words of tofu, there was no hair on their legs. up.After the fire passed, the man-eating ants on the ground disappeared without a trace. The four of us did not dare to delay, for fear that those earth apes would react and attack again, so we hurriedly crawled into the camp and lit a large pile of Campfire, no more sleepiness.

After some running around, the four of us were shirtless, sitting by the fire and smoking.After such a tossing, I felt thirsty and hungry. Tofu took out some food and gave it to us. While eating, I said: "I want to write a book, and the title of the book is "Those Years I Walked to Recite", or "I and Me" What do you guys think of The Stories Unlucky Chen Has to Tell? Will it become popular?"

Zhuan Rui smoked a cigarette and said, "Let's write it, I'll pre-order [-] copies first."

Tofu chewed the jerky, shook his head and sighed, and said: "It seems that the words of the ancestors are wise, people are unlucky, and it is useless to do anything. You said that people usually come to travel in this place? Why haven't you heard of man-eating ants? Yes, we caught up with everything. I said, Boss Zhuan, is the fish in the stone useful? Nonsense, right? Why do I think we are getting more and more unlucky?"

I was feeling aggrieved in my heart, I kicked Tofu when I heard the words, telling him to stop talking nonsense, and said: "Misfortune is what blessings depend on, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings, have you heard of it?"

Tofu curled his lips, and shouted at Heiye: "Houfu... Where are you, Houfu? Hurry up, brat, come out."

When Harichagai heard the words, he laughed unceremoniously. I choked my breath in my throat, neither spit nor swallowed. In the end, I could only shake my head with a wry smile and smoke silently.Seeing that I was depressed, Tofu felt a little guilty. He patted my shoulder and said, "Being angry, I don't think the atmosphere is serious, I just want to make fun of it. What's wrong with it?

I ignored him. Tofu was in a hurry. He scratched his head and said, "Why don't I tell everyone a joke. There was an old man who called his four sons to the bed before he died, took out a chopstick and handed it to the eldest son. The eldest son broke the chopsticks at once. Immediately afterwards, the old man took another chopstick, the eldest son broke it again, and said to the old man: Dad, you want to teach us to be united so that we will not be easily broken Right?"

"Guess what the old man said? He said: Keke, these chopsticks... are, they were used by Emperor Qianlong. Hahahahaha...It's so funny." He said happily while seeing the three of us expressionless. , couldn't help touching his nose and said: "Why don't you laugh?"

Harichagai said: "You have seen this joke 800 years ago, let's use it to make fun of 'Houfu'."

Tofu was not convinced, and said, "Then tell me one!"

"Come on, let's talk." The two started telling jokes to each other, Zhuan Rui and I looked at each other, ignored the teasers, and sat by the fire, waiting for the dawn amidst their unreliable jokes .
