Chapter 9: 9

Zhou You, who was in the car roof, also saw the ants running to them. 

The number of such small things was not easy to cope with. Not long after, a line of machine guns protruded from the armored car in front, accurately hitting the ants, no bullets were wasted. 

Zhou You secretly praised, “Good marksmanship!”

However, the gunshot alarmed the rest of the ant colony not far away. Zhou You noticed that the first reaction of the ants was to converge to the center, where there was a much bigger black ant, which was now surrounded by the swarm of ants, before moving forward at a tremendous speed. 

“Is it the queen?” Zhou You thought that it should be correct. 

Captured the leader first in order to catch its followers. Seeing how nervous the ant colony was towards the queen to know how important it was to them. If they could get the queen away, the ants wouldn’t have time to deal with the humans. 

At this time, he heard Li Hongxi’s voice, “Armored Car 7 and 8 be ready to fire and make a way. The rest of the vehicles return to the original road and accelerate. Remember, don’t fight them on a large scale. If you can run, run. If you get separated on the road, follow Route 3 and meet at the exit.”

“7, copy that!”

“8, received!”

While no one noticed, Zhou You jumped from the roof to the branches, hiding in the dense foliage. As soon as the convoy left, the ants also discovered this human and began to chase after him frantically. 

Fearing that it would be too late to chase back the convoy, Zhou You hurriedly moved a large stone to the ant queen. The surrounding ants quickly climbed making a thick shield, successfully protecting the ant queen at the cost of thousands of ants.

Zhou You continued to attack, each time aiming at the queen. The colonies became agitated, sending transmission to draw closer to the queen. 

The colony was so large that the outermost black ants could not get a signal in time and still chased after the convoy. 

With so many ants coming, Zhou You still focused on dealing with the queen. 

He launched several attacks that were all resisted by the black ants. Although the number of enemies killed was considerable, it was not worth mentioning in front of the large army, the queen still guarded by a black mass of black ants. 

Zhou You led them in the opposite direction of the convoy. Once the colony realized that their queen was  in danger, the first priority must be to protect the queen, not to attack others. 

But Zhou You soon realized that he was careless, he could hide in the foliage and throw  stones at them, but the ants could also accurately find the location of the attacker. 

“Dang! Why do they become intelligent?” As soon as Zhou You jumped to another tree, the one he used to hide collapsed suddenly, the entire trunk was eaten clean by black ants. 

Zhou You ran to the forest, deliberately making a big movement along the way. The nearest beasts rushed sniffing, but when they saw the ants chasing behind the human, they turned around and ran. 

“Brothers don’t run, I’ve  brought you a big meal.” 

Zhou You quickly grabbed a beast and threw it behind him. It was an adult wildebeest. Its four hooves beat frantically to the ground, each foot killing several black ants, but in the end, it didn’t escape the fate of being covered by an ant colony and became a snack for the ants. 

Seeing the ants’ ability to devour with his own eyes, Zhou You got goosebumps, and it stirred the beasts in the forest even more madly. 

The beasts escaped in vain. Zhou You would find the right time to let them and the ant colony face each other, and two sides both lose. When the ants were getting fewer and fewer, Zhou You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the convoy accelerated, Li Hongxi asked on the walkie-talkie, “Old Zhao, report the situation.”

Old Zhao was holding a blue light telescope and clearly saw the situation in the rear. “Captain, there are not many black ants following, most of them were crushed by 7 and 8 several times and half of them died. However, I saw a few of the ants climbing on an ordinary car. At present, I don’t know their situation.”

“There are no more ants catching up?” Li Hongxi asked in surprise. Ants acted in groups, he had never seen such a single action. 

“No, these ants may have separated themselves and been left behind by the colony. It seems that the ant army has not taken a fancy to our iron lumps.”Old Zhao quipped. 

“Tell everyone to hurry up and solve the ants, and don’t let it bite the car parts.”

Sporadic ants were very easy to deal with, but just a bit difficult to find. Each car notified the ‘passenger’ to clean the compartment. This small thing was very tenacious, almost as annoying as a cockroach. 

The dead ants were not thrown away. They collect them and roast them as snacks later. This kind of thing that the exploration team wouldn’t look at, was a good source of meat for ordinary people. 

Wu Yong just killed an ant that had burrowed into the car, and heard a report in the headset, “Boss, there’s a child in Car 4521 that was bitten by an ant!”

Wu Yong replied first and asked nervously, “Who was bitten by an ant? Did they catch the ant?” 

That car was full of women and children. Which one wasn’t fragile?

“I caught it, but the kid’s thighs were swollen and we had to stop to give him some medicine.” The other laughed and said, “Vice Captain, don’t be nervous, it’s not your child.”

Wu Yong wiped his cold sweat and instructed, “I’ll ask the logistics to send the medicine, use sparingly, the medicine is running low.”

After running in a big circle, Zhou You returned to the vicinity of the ant colony troops. The forest seemed much more lively by his tossing, and beasts were roaring everywhere. 

The ant colony was restless, tightening the formation to the middle, and this time, if Zhou You attacked the queen again, they did not dare to divide the soldiers to do both defend and attack. 

“Okay, I’ll give you a big farewell gift.” Zhou You wrapped his fist with internal force and jumped into a big tree with a huge beehive that the bees were busy surrounding their homes. 

He punched the big tree and the hive fell down, he then used his internal force to throw it at the ant colony. 

This beehive was much more useful than a bomb. The ant colony messed up in an instant and the bees chased their homes into the colony and inexplicably fought with the ants. 

“It should be close. The team shouldn’t run far, right? It will be troublesome if I can’t catch up.”

Zhou You had to find a way to go back to the truck quietly, hoping that no one would notice his disappearance.
