Chapter 178: Bone-Eating Ants
Seven hours after the Virus Exploration Squad entered the Dead Man Valley.
"What's wrong! A large number of zombies were found in front of you!" the scout reported in the communication system.
"Speak clearly! How big a group of zombies can be removed??"
"It cannot be cleared! The number is estimated to be tens of thousands! And these zombies are strange. They gather together but do not move, as if... waiting for some kind of command!"
"Waiting for the order!? Why is this happening? Since we cannot break through, the front team will immediately become the back team! Ye Chuan, you are responsible for finding a new direction to avoid encountering a large number of zombies. Although we hope to get virus samples immediately, we cannot attack rashly! We should choose a group of zombies with a relatively small number and compare slowly." Jian Xing ordered in the communication system.
"I understand!" Ye Chuan gave a positive answer.
The long snake array is very flexible, with the head and tail interchangeable. Now the end of the team where Ye Chuan is located has become the front team, and Ye Chuan and Mu, who were originally in charge of the palace, became scouts.
Finding the original virus is a very troublesome job. There must be the first infected people among so many zombies. Ye Chuan and the others need to find the first infected batch from this large group of zombies and extract the virus samples.
As for the zombies infected later, the virus will be slightly different every time it is copied. From a genetic perspective, it is almost impossible to calculate the characteristics of the original virus from the later evolutionary virus.
If Ye Chuan and the others want to know how these infectious human viruses evolved and how far they evolved, they must find the original virus and compare the original virus with the current prevalent virus. Observe the difference between the two viruses. The problem will be solved. The rest of the work is to hand it over to the gene laboratory to use the original virus to cultivate vaccines.
In any case, finding the zombies carrying the primitive virus is Ye Chuan and the others' mission. The way to complete the task is to constantly capture samples in the Dead Man Valley, analyze and compare bit by bit. It is impossible to be patient.
After receiving the order, Ye Chuan was about to go ahead to open the way, but suddenly Mu Yi reached out and grabbed him.
Ye Chuan observed Mu curiously, and saw that the genius boy's face changed drastically, his eyes changed to be alert, and his ears stood up.
"What's going on?" Ye Chuan asked in confusion.
"We may have been surrounded." Mu said in a deep voice.
"Impossible, I didn't hear any sound of zombies approaching." Ye Chuan said.
"Our tribe tribe judges the enemy not by sound, but by intuition," Mu explained.
A little stunned, Ye Chuan looked at Mu carefully. The boy was not wearing genetic armor, and his pores were completely opened. He was feeling the surrounding environment and all the breath in the valley.
"Wait for me here!"
Swish ~
Ye Chuan rushed out in one step! Speeding 110,000 in seconds!
really!
A huge group of zombies was also found about ten kilometers behind Ye Chuan and the others. These living dead people walked slowly, trying not to make any sounds. In addition, the distance was relatively far, so Ye Chuan failed to find these hateful guys.
"I'm sure we're surrounded." Ye Chuan said in a deep voice in the communication system: "We are covered with zombies. No matter which direction we choose, we will encounter these guys."
Jian Xing couldn't believe it: "There is no way to leave!?"
Ye Chuan said: "This is a trap. Although I don't know how these zombies were discovered and gathered together, I'm sure the types of zombies here are different from what I saw on Earth. They are not individuals, but more like a group of ants."
"Ant?"
"Yes, creatures like ants have no individual thinking, only overall thinking. This is how these zombies are now. There are thousands of roads in the Dead Valley, like a maze. Zombies put us in and then cleverly surrounded us. The huge valley, countless roads, were all blocked? A normal group of zombies cannot do it, which shows that these guys have overall thinking."
Jian Xing was silent in the communication system for a second, "Everyone gathers together and prepares to break through!"
Swish ~
Ye Chuan immediately accelerated, and when he came to Mu, he grabbed him and caught up with the soldiers in front of him. He did the same. In less than a second, the exploration team changed from a serpentine array that lasted several kilometers to a back-to-back formation.
This is the power of the speed system. If there is a speed system warrior during the team's operation, the offensive and defensive conversion speed of the entire team will be greatly improved.
There was an old soldier from the family named Yovi around Jian Xing. He didn't say much and he usually followed Jian Xing's arrangements. At this time, he stood up and took over the command of the team without permission.
With his finger on his head, Yovi said in a deep voice: "Tactic breakout at the top! Quickly break out of the encirclement!"
"clear!"
The soldiers of the Jian family were all elites. Even though two scouts climbed up along the slid rock walls of the valley, the depth of the Dead Man's Valley ranged from several kilometers to dozens of kilometers. As long as they reached the top of the deep valley, they could see the surroundings at a glance.
Of course, this can easily reveal your whereabouts, but now it is impossible to control too much.
"No...don't come up!"
The two scouts shouted in horror at the top of the valley, and saw them hanging strangely in the sky, like an invisible net that stuck them like a sticky fly.
The next second, the two soldiers screamed in pain. Someone in the team wanted to go up to rescue him, but was stopped by Mu.
"Don't move! There are ants on it." Mu looked at the sky above his head and frowned.
"Ant!?"
"Well, bone-eroding ant, a transparent creature, will turn red after eating human flesh and blood."
Soon, the two soldiers hanging in the air stopped shouting, their bodies were festering rapidly, and at the same time, everyone saw some small red dots in the valley, which were bone-eroding ants. After gnawing on human flesh and blood, they were turning red.
As a result, everyone finally saw clearly that there was an invisible net at the top of the valley. The bone-eroding ants were lying on the net. Once someone rushed up, they would be stuck by the net, and the ants would be gnawed and there would be no bone residue left!
This kind of ants has a huge number and sharp teeth. With its number advantage, it will bite through the warriors' armor little by little!
As for the net above his head, it must be extremely tough, otherwise even these elite soldiers of the Jian family would not be able to get rid of its entanglement.
Swish ~
Small red dots floated down from the air. Ye Chuan frowned slightly, stepped up along the mountain wall, grabbed a small red dot from the air and put it in his hand. When he returned to the ground and opened it, everyone was shocked.
The bone-eroding ant is smaller than that of an ordinary ant, and its mouth occupies half of its body. After being caught by Ye Chuan, the hateful ant has no intention of being afraid at all. He uses his sharp teeth to drill Ye Chuan's palm!
Bang ~
Ye Chuan closed his hand, and the bone-eroding ant was pinched to death immediately, and some red liquid emerged, which was the blood of two companions!
"Strong provocation! Leave here immediately!" Ye Chuan frowned and said in a deep voice. (To be continued...)
