In the lair that had just been captured by the Destroyers, countless Destroyers were shuttled back and forth.
Their thick jointed limbs quickly trampled through every corner of the underground lair, mercilessly killing the remaining defenders hiding in remote lairs, and removing the bodies of the dead defenders. For a time, the entire lair was filled with the smell of oily acid and blood.
The developed underground natural ventilation system draws these dead breaths to the ground one by one, and dissipates them in the rapidly decreasing cold wind on autumn nights.
After finishing all this, the Destroyers began to get into the nest separately, and stood still and stood still. This is a scene that is extremely difficult for other ants to see - the Destroyer is resting. The previous image of the Destroyer shown in front of the ant civilization seemed to be a tireless and painful perpetual motion machine that didn't even know it needed to rest.
While these powerful killers were resting, what they ignored was that although the newly conquered lair was not small, the color of the soil inside looked very new, as if it had just been excavated from deep underground and exposed to the air, with a hint of freshness. There is the unique earthy smell of the new nest. At the same time, the ground here is wet, and there is still water in some low-lying areas, but there is no drainage system that ordinary nests should have. The entrances and exits of the lair are very spacious, and even the exhaust pipes extending in all directions are twice as thick as normal.
In the offensive and defensive battle just now, the defenders, who were composed entirely of the old, weak, sick and disabled, collapsed because the passage was too fast. In the end, they were divided and surrounded, and all of them died in the battle. If the entrance to the passage could be narrower, the defenders would be able to hold on until night!
Not only is this underground, the soil and stones on the ground are also wet, which is very funny. In some places, there are still the remains of some algae and aquatic plants that are only found in the water. The fishy smell of the water can still be faintly transmitted to the tentacles.
It is obvious that this depression was originally a pool of water, at least a seasonal water surface, but now it has dried up, and it has just dried up. A new lair has been built at the bottom of the depression, and it has been conquered by the Destroyer.
Ranwen
This is the murderous trap laid by "Dong Mao" for these destroyers!
Not far from the depression, there is a higher rock, and behind the rock is a sharply rising mountain. There is a smooth cliff on the edge of the rock. There was originally a small waterfall here. The endless mountain spring water received in the depression on the top of the rock lay down from the depression on the edge, flowed into the depression along the rock wall, and finally followed a The washed out water channels flowed away, eventually dissipating into the thirsty land in the distance.
This spring stream has water all year round in summer and autumn, but the water volume is not large, and it will dry up in winter. At this time, the water in the depression had been drained, but the spring water that was supposed to be replenished was blocked on the top of the rock - the ants built a small embankment with gravel and ant concrete, which just blocked the water outlet. The spring water automatically flows down from the lower place on the other side and no longer flows through the pit.
————
The moon is bright and clear at night, and the bright moonlight brings a heavier chill to the autumn night than the cloudy days.
Most of the 40,000 Destroyers have gone into the trap nest to rest. Only a thousand Destroyers have not returned from the direction they came from overnight, and there are still a hundred Destroyers standing guard on the ground.
It was time, and "Dong Mao", who had been lying in wait nearby for a long time, decided to take action.
In order to avoid being detected by the "Radar" Destroyer, he only had about a hundred guards around him, and the engineering team on the rock only had about two hundred ants. The large army had been dispersed into independent legions, stationed about half a day away. It takes time to get there.
But there is no need for these troops to bear this battle!
As the messenger troops sent by "Eastern Mao" arrived at the rock, the engineering team immediately detonated the bombs buried on the embankment. After a sound about as loud as several cannon explosions at the same time, the embankment had been basically destroyed, and the water began to flow down again. .
The engineering team on the other side is also using gravel, branches and other materials to simply block the current water outlet. This is originally higher than the original water outlet. Even if it is not blocked tightly, most of the water is flowing rapidly to the other side. go.
At this time, the spring water was at its most abundant, and the small waterfall quickly returned to its previous size. A waterfall with as much water as a household faucet rushed down. Soon, a puddle formed below and was covered by a new stream. A simple earthwork embankment temporarily blocked it.
The Destroyer's lair was just a few meters away. The sound of the explosion just now was not particularly out of place amidst the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves at night. The subsequent impact of the water flow could be heard everywhere in nature, so the Destroyer Sentinel did not vigilance.
The flying knight messengers had taken advantage of the darkness to issue assembly orders to the peripheral troops, but the Destroyer had no idea that a catastrophe was imminent!
In less than a quarter of an hour, after a considerable amount of water had gathered below the waterfall, the engineering team quietly approached and detonated the second dam. This time, the huge water flow rushed directly along the old waterway towards the Destroyer!
The speed of the water is not fast, not as turbulent as the flood, and it also carries a huge roar. It just approached slowly. The long waterline was wrapped in mud and sand, becoming filthy and messy. It "crawled" towards the Destroyer in the lower part of the depression little by little. It seemed that as long as it ran faster, it would Can escape.
But this is just an illusion. The speed of this water flow is still faster than most insects can escape, and the power contained in it is not something that small insects can resist. A beetle with poor eyesight was quickly approached by the waterline and quickly involved in it. It rolled a few times in the muddy water and disappeared without a trace. There was no room for struggle!
The Destroyer Sentinels were already alerted by the second explosion that was nearly a foot away, but soon, the water flow came with an unpleasant but invincible pressure, as if death was approaching the end of life without any hesitation. When the first few Destroyers were swept into the water, the Destroyer Sentinels thought it was a natural disaster and chose the wrong escape route without hesitation - turned around and got into the lair!
Except for a few Destroyers who had no time to get in, struggling on the water surface, the water soon surrounded the nest, rushing down from all the openings.
Because the underground nest is large enough to accommodate 40,000 ants, the water surface in the depression did not spread for a while and was all absorbed by the nest. It doesn't matter even if the water surface spreads, the water outlet has long been blocked by debris. The nest located in the deepest part of the depression will be soaked for a long time. It is impossible to see the sun before the spring stream dries up!
And it is impossible for the Destroyer trapped deep in the lair to penetrate the current and climb ashore again! Drowning in a lair with no drainage or escape routes is the best destination for an invader!
