Epoch of Twilight

His five senses were keen, and he vaguely heard a noisy sound coming from the cave.

His face became a little ugly, and he quickly walked towards the opening of the transport plane, and as soon as he walked inside, his voice suddenly became louder.

There were shouts, screams, and the sound of metal and iron colliding.

His heart skipped a beat, he took a few quick steps, and slammed open the door of the cockpit.

His pupils shrank slightly.

I saw that the ground was full of mutated ants. At first glance, there were hundreds of them densely packed. They didn't know where they came from, but they obviously regarded this place as a hunting ground.

This kind of ant, which is about one foot long, has a blue body and looks as if it is made of metal, which makes people feel a sense of strength. Although it is small in size, its eight limbs run wildly, but its speed is slower than a human jog Also fast, and extremely flexible.

The two palm-sized jaws are constantly opening and closing, and the scissor-like mouthparts, no one will doubt their powerful bite force.

A group of people were forced to stand in a corner, trying their best to hold on. Facing the tide of mutated ants, they slashed with steel knives non-stop. Although their faces were full of despair, none of them were injured. Obviously, the training during this period has greatly increased their strength, and ordinary mutant beasts can no longer pose a threat to them.

Even if it was a few children, they seized the opportunity and stepped forward courageously, slashing coldly. However, the carapaces of these ants are obviously a bit hard, and a few children are weak, and they often cut them with a knife, leaving only a white hard shell and knocking it away.

It seems that their weapons should take the time to strengthen them.

At this time, Luo Yuan noticed Wang Shishi, and his face changed slightly. She was lying on the ground, surrounded by everyone and protected. There was blood on the foot, obviously injured. But seeing her breathing steadily, Luo Yuan was slightly relieved, it seemed that her life was not in danger.

He withdrew his gaze, didn't dare to hesitate, drew out the saber, and walked, the light of the knife changed. All the ants that came up were injured or died when they touched them, and he quickly opened a passage forcibly.

Everyone looked excited when they saw Luo Yuan's arrival.

"I'm saved, Boss Luo is here, work harder!" Huo Dong yelled, and cut an ant in half with a sharp knife. His face was covered with pus splashed by the ant.

"Boss Luo, if you don't come again, you will only see corpses." Company Commander Xia also said with relief.

Luo Yuan walked into the crowd in two or three steps, and killed all the ants around in a few minutes.

With a blank expression on his face, he squatted down and touched Wang Shishi's forehead, and found it was surprisingly hot: "What's wrong with her?"

"I passed out after being bitten by an ant on my leg." Wang Xiaguang said while guarding his surroundings.

Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he lifted up her pants. The wound was not serious, only a little bit of skin was torn, but it was a little black, and her calf was red and swollen, almost a few circles thicker.

"She is poisoned!" Luo Yuan said.

"Is there any help?" Huang Jiahui asked quickly, her voice trembling.

The people around were also panicked, they didn't expect to be bitten a little bit, and it would be so serious.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't disturb me!" Luo Yuan said with a serious face.

Everyone quickly backed away, at this time ants and sporadic ants came up again, several people rushed forward, and killed a few ants neatly.

Luo Yuan saw that everyone could handle it for the time being, so he took a deep breath. He stretched out his palm, which turned into a faint brilliance, and then lightly pressed on Wang Shishi's chest.

As if being shocked by an electric shock, her body shook violently.

His eyes were slightly closed, his palms did not move for a long time, and the brilliance shone slightly.

Drops of black blood slowly dripped down the wound. At the beginning, the blood was still as black as ink. As time went by, the color of the blood became lighter and lighter, from black to purple, and then back to normal. blood red.

His willpower is no longer what it used to be, and this kind of treatment is no longer difficult for him.

Half a minute later, he opened his eyes, checked Wang Shishi's wound, and found that the toxin had been emptied, and even the swelling had subsided a lot.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked to the front. In a short time, the mutated ants had become dense again. He drew out the saber, and the light of the saber danced into a phantom. With his agility, he could swing it almost every second. After spending thirty or forty knives, only a few seconds later, a large space was cleared, and he asked, "How did you make it like this?"

"It's also my fault. After lunch, the weather was hot, and I didn't bother to clean it up, so I threw the bones into the corner, and wanted to wait until the evening to throw them away, but I didn't expect to attract mutated ants." Huang Jiahui said with a look of fear: " At the beginning, there were only one or two, and we quickly wiped them out, and we didn't pay attention to them for a while, but soon there were more and more, and when we found something wrong, even the door was blocked. We can’t make it through now.”

"All of us women packed up the things at noon. You can't just blame Huang Jie, I also have a part." Zhao Yali also stood up and said. The blade of the steel knife in her hand was already curled up a bit, and her whole body was covered with colorful pus. It was obvious that the fierce battle before had made her a lot bolder.

Cao Lin huddled in the crowd, her face was pale, and her heart was terrified. In fact, this bone was caused by her. She wanted to save trouble and was afraid of going outside and would be in danger, so she secretly fell in a corner. accident.

At this time, seeing Huang Jiahui and Zhao Yali taking over the responsibilities one after another, she glanced at them gratefully, and while she was relieved, she turned a little envious.

Based on their status in Luo Yuan's heart, as long as Wang Shishi does not have any accidents, such mistakes are probably irrelevant, and there will be no reprimand, but if it is her, the result will be unpredictable, although he will not kill her. So cruel, but at least for a long time, Luo Yuan's impression of her will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, I'm not going to blame anyone. No one is willing to go out in such a hot day. What's more, no one expected such a thing to happen."

Luo Yuan's voice came from beside her ear.

"Sure enough!" Cao Lin thought to herself, and she let go of her heart that had been hanging all the time, and this matter was over. It's just that her fists have been clenched unconsciously, and her joints are pale.

………………

Next, Luo Yuan took a few more minutes to wipe out all the remaining mutated ants, leaving a pile of corpses on the ground, but the ants still kept pouring out from the gaps.

It's impossible to kill!

This gap is two meters long and no wider than a fist. It already existed when the cave was opened. At that time, Luo Yuan didn't care about it. He didn't expect that it would lead to the old nest of mutated ants.

Thinking about it, I feel a little scared. Fortunately, it happened at noon, everyone was awake, and they were discovered as soon as they appeared. If it was in the dead of night, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It seems that a large number of deaths of the same kind are felt, and more and more ants are gushing out of the cracks.

Under its mouthparts, the rock wall is like a biscuit, which breaks as soon as it is bitten, and the stone chips rustle down. With the continuous crackling sound, the cracks are slowly expanding.

Luo Yuan's face gradually became serious, with some bad premonition in his heart.

After these mutated ants appeared, they did not attack immediately, but directly pounced on the corpses of the same kind. The hard exoskeleton, under the bite of their mouthparts, made a screeching sound like metal twisting. The carcass of a mutated ant was devoured by five or six mutated ants, and it was quickly swallowed whole, leaving not a trace of debris left.

Some ants weren't even completely dead, but this couldn't stop the already hungry ants. After a few weak resistances, these ants were swallowed alive.

No wonder, before he came in, he was a little surprised that he didn't see many corpses of ants. It turned out that they were all digested by themselves, and even the reason for the large number of them was probably because of these corpses.

After waiting for just half a minute, the ants on the ground returned to the original number again, so fast that even his scalp felt a little numb.

Luo Yuan had no choice but to wipe out the ants again.

"Boss Luo, I'm afraid we can't live here anymore tonight, there must be an ant nest inside." Huo Dong came over and suggested.

Luo Yuan nodded: "Go and pack your luggage first! We will move to the grotto tonight."

"Luo Yuan, did you take care of that mutated bird?" Huang Jiahui asked with a look of joy on her face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Luo Yuan.

"This beast is very cunning, and it escaped at the last moment, but it has been seriously injured, even if it survives, it should not trouble us in a short time." Luo Yuan paused, and said with a gloomy face. He felt a little depressed about the escaped mutant bird.

Although they were killed in the end, everyone was relieved, at least they could live a peaceful life for a few days.

At this time, Luo Yuan faintly heard a movement, his heart trembled, he walked a few steps quickly, stuck to the rock wall, and listened attentively.

There was a noisy rattling sound inside the rock wall, as if countless mutated ants were constantly gnawing on it.

His face changed drastically: "There is not much time left, everyone hurry up and pack up, we will leave here immediately."

"Luo Yuan, what's wrong?" Huang Jiahui's heart tightened and she asked.

"The rock wall here is about to be bitten through, and a large number of ants will rush in here soon. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you either!" Luo Yuan said with a serious face, while holding Wang Shishi who was still lying on the ground. Hug up.

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they hurriedly ran towards the corner where the luggage was placed.

At this time, cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall. In a blink of an eye, there were more and more cracks, forming a dense spider web. Some mutated ants that couldn't wait rushed out of the cracks.

"It's too late, everyone go!" Luo Yuan snorted, and quickly killed the nearby mutated ants, but it was only slightly blocked. As more and more ants poured in, near the rock wall Almost a three to four meter high hill made up of ants had already been stacked up, and even he started to back away slowly.

The last thing Luo Yuan wanted to see happened.

One or two mutated ants may not be considered dangerous, but once an ant swarm forms, the degree of danger may be even more terrifying than green-level creatures.

He had watched the documentary of the ant swarm before the end of the world, and he was deeply impressed. It was a disaster. The wreckage of countless creatures loomed in the ant swarm. The ant swarm engulfed it, and it turned into bones in a few minutes. Even if it is the top of the food chain, it is like a lost dog at that time. If you don't pay attention, you will step into the footsteps. What's even more frightening is that it eats everything, not only animals, but even plants. Wherever it passes, life and everything are wiped out.

And these mutated ants are obviously more terrifying than ordinary ants.
