After a whole day of fighting outside, everyone is already very familiar with this smell.
This is clearly the smell of formic acid emitted by the mutated ants.
It's not that there's no formic acid smell inside the reserve, after all, so many ants just left here. But the smell is relatively light.
But now the smell of formic acid in the wind is extremely strong,
This concentration even exceeded the previous concentration when large groups of mutant ants appeared.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
"Didn't all the mutated ant colonies get lured out?" Yue Jingcheng said with wide eyes.
"Smelling this smell, it seems that there is more deep inside." Sikong Zhen's expression was a little heavy.
The other people's faces were also very ugly.
If there are really more mutant ants inside, then the next situation will be very difficult.
We can't attack the ant colony with fire like we do outside, we can only attack them hard.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder at the thought of mountains and seas of high-defense and high-attack ants coming in like a tidal wave.
I can't stop it, I really can't stop it!
"Captain Qin, which area of the reserve is the batch of arms you mentioned?" Yan Chengfeng was moved in his heart and asked Qin how to defeat the enemy.
The others glanced sideways at Yan Chengfeng.
What does he mean by asking? If the arms were in the outer area, did he just want to take the arms and leave? Is it that easy?
The agreement they reached with the military was to help the military capture the entire strategic reserve before the military would hand over that batch of arms to them as reward.
However, thinking this way, they all still looked at Qin Kedi involuntarily, hoping to hear the news that the arms were in the outer area of the reserve.
"Master Yan, to tell you the truth, because of the sensitivity of the arms, that batch of arms was sealed in the innermost area of the reserve." Qin Kedi said with a faint smile.
Yan Chengfeng and others suddenly flashed a look of disappointment. It seems that if they still want to get those arms, they must fight to the end with the military, and there is no possibility of opportunism.
"Everyone, the situation is here. How do you decide now? If you choose to continue fighting, there will inevitably be casualties. If you choose to give up, our military will certainly not blame you. But due to the differences between us According to the agreement, we cannot give you any compensation. We can only remember your kindness in helping you this time. However, we will make appropriate compensation for the small number of casualties you have incurred." Qin Kedi continued.
Yan Chengfeng and others couldn't help but look at each other.
What Qin Kedi said was reasonable and reasonable, and they couldn't express any different opinions.
Should I just give up and work for the military for a day in vain?
"Captain Qin, if not, let's reconnoiter the ant colony inside and try to see if we can lure them out of the combat reserve to burn and kill them. Then we will make a decision on whether to leave or stay." Yan Chengfeng After thinking for a while he said.
Sikong Zhen and others nodded together. If they were asked to just give up like this, they would never be willing to do so.
"Okay." Qin Kedi nodded.
Qin Kedi would naturally welcome these people's choice. After all, what they want is just a batch of old-fashioned munitions that the military does not value for the time being, but it can greatly speed up the military's capture of the reserve.
Without these powerful foreign aids, Qin Kedi believed that the military's strength alone would not be incapable of obtaining the reserve, but at most it would only waste more time.
But the last thing the military can afford to waste now is time.
After the discussion, everyone immediately took action.
Six top masters including Qin Kedi, Yan Chengfeng, and Zhao Xuan led more than a hundred faster superpowers and began to quickly penetrate into the reserve.
As we went deeper, the temperature inside became lower and lower, and soon dropped to around zero degrees.
"Is the refrigeration system here so powerful? How much electricity does it consume? Where does this electricity come from?" Everyone was very surprised.
"It's not electric energy. There is a very strange cold spring deep in the mountain. The temperature of this cold spring is below zero all year round but does not freeze. It still flows freely within a certain range. Although the reason cannot be explained, this is why the strategic reserve was originally The main reason for building it here." Qin Kedi explained.
The large cold spring at the base of Hongyuan Mountain was a state secret before the end of the world, but now it doesn't matter whether it is secret or not.
"So that's it."
Everyone admired it, but didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to move forward.
Nowadays, even magical powers, cultivation techniques, spiritual stones and magic weapons have come out, and a cold spring with a temperature below zero but not freezing is no big deal.
The scope of the strategic reserve is very large. Even though more than a hundred superpowers were running quickly through it, it took almost two hours to clearly detect the situation inside, especially the general situation deep in the reserve.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that the total number of mutant ants entrenched in various areas was between 1.2 million and 1.5 million.
After this number came out, everyone was not frightened, but breathed a sigh of relief.
This is much less than the tens of millions or billions they imagined.
But if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. After all, nature balances itself.
After the ants mutated, both their size and combat power increased thousands of times, and the number of successful mutations they had was limited by nature. Otherwise, nature would simply let them rule the earth.
"Even if they can't be lured out of the cave, they can still fight." Yan Chengfeng said.
"Yes, you can fight. But you still can't be tough. Lure tactics are still useful here." Qiu Yun said.
The others immediately gave Qiu Yun a blank look. Is there something wrong with my brain when I fight so many mutated ants?
The life of an ant is not valuable, but the life of a human being is very important.
"It's already seven o'clock, and it's already dark outside. How about we retreat first and start cleaning up early tomorrow morning?" Qin Kedi suggested.
"That makes sense." Everyone nodded together.
The combat effectiveness of zombies and mutated creatures at night will increase by 20 to 30% out of thin air, and no one is willing to risk their lives like this. There is no rush to eliminate these mutated ant colonies at this moment.
They immediately began to return to the reserve gate.
While they were conducting reconnaissance, the military personnel were not idle either. They desperately moved the grain that had not been destroyed by the mutated ants in the peripheral areas of the reserve to military vehicles.
When Zhao Xuan and others came out, the military had already installed the third wave. More than 300 military heavy trucks loaded with food are about to set off.
This wave contains tens of thousands of tons of grain, which makes Zhao Xuan and others extremely envious.
But in the blink of an eye, they thought of the more than four million people in the 122nd Division base, and they shuddered and immediately stopped envying them.
