As all civil forces devoted themselves to killing mutant rats, granaries one after another were captured.
The smell of blood in the grain depot area is getting stronger and stronger.
While Zhao Xuan collected the mouse body, he paid close attention to the surrounding environment and Qin Kedi's expression.
He found that Qin Kedi's expression became more and more cautious.
And the other mutant creature Doudou mentioned, the ant, has never appeared.
"Does Qin Kedi know that mutated ants are about to appear? But where will the ants come out? Will they emerge from the ground at any time?" Zhao Xuan couldn't help but wonder.
"Doudou, where are the ants?" Zhao Xuan asked Doudou softly.
"Brother, they are inside." Doudou quietly pointed to the left and right sides of the granary and the mountain walls directly in front.
At this time, the large team had already reached the part where the granary went deep into Hongyuan Mountain, leaving only seven or eight granaries that had not yet been conquered.
"Inside the mountain? Ants usually live underground. How can they live in the mountain? Is there another mystery inside the mountain?" Zhao Xuan was slightly surprised.
If there is really another mystery inside the mountain, and it is a mystery of relatively high value, then Qin Kedi's various cover-up behaviors will have the most reasonable explanation.
The military wanted to monopolize the benefits inside the mountain, but was worried that it would suffer too much damage if it attacked here, so it used about 20,000 tons of grain as bait to attract five major civilian forces to share the firepower.
When the five major civilian forces took the food and left, it was time for the military to attack the heart of the mountain.
Zhao Xuan instantly figured out the military's logic on this matter.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xuan had no other intention.
After all, the military has a heavy burden. They bear the fate of more than 4 million survivors.
"When we get the food later, Yunling City will pretend that we don't know anything and just leave." Zhao Xuan immediately made a decision in his heart.
"Doudou, how many ants are there in total?" Zhao Xuan asked Doudou casually while thinking this.
"Brother, there are a lot of ants, and they are densely packed in the belly of the mountain." Doudou said.
'ah'
Zhao Xuan was already calm, but suddenly he was surprised.
He knows about ants. Even before the end of the world, if the number of ants is large enough to form an 'ant tide', it will kill people and kill Buddhas.
And the mutated ants after the apocalypse have increased their defense and combat power by more than a thousand times. Such an 'ant tide'...
"Do the military know the true situation inside the mountain? I guess they probably don't know. Then the losses they will suffer by then..." Zhao Xuan shuddered a little.
While talking, the large team began to conquer the last few granaries.
At this time, because it was located in a large mountain valley with poor air circulation, the smell of blood in the air seemed to be so thick that it could not be dissolved.
'Xixi Suosuo...'
There are strange movements around, from light to heavy, from far to near.
"Everyone is here. If there is an enemy attack, be on full alert!" Qin Kedi, who had been paying close attention to the movements around him, changed his expression and roared loudly, shaking the whole place.
"Evacuate the granary and be on full alert." Zhao Xuan, who was well prepared, immediately ordered the forces of Yunling City.
Yunling City's superpowers immediately launched a wave of superpower attacks forward, forcing the mutated rats that were pouring out of the warehouse door to stop for a moment, and retreated quickly while covering the non-superpower forces.
At this time, the mutated mice also heard the sound of "Xixi Xisuosuo", and they did not chase them out, but collectively retracted into the granary.
"Continue to retreat in an orderly manner." Zhao Xuan gave the order while staring closely at the gable next to the granary.
The gable wall is almost close to the mountain wall, and there are holes as big as small basins at the base of the wall. While the people in Yunling City were still retreating, extremely huge ants quickly emerged from the hole.
These ants are twenty to thirty centimeters in diameter and fifty or sixty centimeters in length. They have shiny black armor and look ferocious.
All the forces were shocked and retreated quickly while being on tight alert.
Surprisingly, after countless bright black ants appeared, they did not pounce on humans first, but ran directly to the mutant rat body and mutant rat blood closest to them.
The sound of chewing bones suddenly sounded continuously.
Even the mouse blood on the ground was rapidly reduced by the sucking of many ants.
Under the intimidation of these ants, the mutated mouse that retreated into the granary did not even dare to make a sound, let alone rush out to fight the mutated ants.
After retreating a certain distance, the human forces temporarily stopped when they saw that the ants were not advancing.
"Captain Qin, what's the explanation for this?" Yan Chengfeng said to Qin Kedi with an ugly expression.
"Master Yan, I have nothing to say. Our military did detect a few mutated ants before, but they were hidden in the mountains and could not come out easily, so our military did not take it to heart. But no matter what, This situation is indeed not within the scope of our agreement at the moment, and you are free to make your own choice." Qin Kedi saw that he could not hide it, so he simply spread his hands and said a little irresponsibly.
Sikong Zhen and others' expressions darkened at the same time and they wanted to explode, but the military's rhetoric was impeccable, leaving them helpless.
Now that the military allows them to make a free choice, how can they make a free choice? Should we just withdraw from the grain depot and give up the grain?
Things don't seem that serious yet?
At this time, as there were more and more mutated ants, all the rat corpses and blood outside the first few granaries were eaten up.
The mutated ant swarm immediately rushed towards the humans fearlessly.
Without receiving orders, a group of supernatural beings from the War Drum Hall instinctively launched a large number of supernatural attacks at the approaching ant colony.
Everyone else had their eyes widened to see the impact of the blow.
The impact of the blow a moment later surprised everyone. After the violent energy fluctuations dissipated, only twenty or thirty of the ants were completely dead, while more ants were angered. They broke out suddenly and rushed to the front of the formation in the Drum Hall in an instant.
"Nah!"
Qiu Yun cursed loudly and waved his hand, sending out a large black mist that enveloped the approaching ant colony.
The hard attack on the ant colony did not have the desired effect, but Qiu Yun's dark energy effectively blinded the ant colony's five senses and had a certain corrosive effect on their bodies.
The ant colony immediately stopped.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Qiu Yun shouted at the top of his lungs.
The people in Zhangutang quickly retreated.
After the black mist quickly dissipated, the people in the War Drum Hall had retreated fifty meters away.
The ants that had regained their senses seemed to have forgotten the previous provocation of the War Drum Hall, and ran straight to the nearest rat corpse or blood, continuing to feast.
"Oops, they're coming for the rat corpses." Someone immediately understood the purpose of the mutated ant colony and couldn't help shouting loudly.
