For safety reasons, Wen Yubai operated the bucket-sized metal drill and in less than a minute, he turned the bowl-sized hole, which was more than one meter long, into the size of a bucket.
Later, the drill bit turned into a metal funnel to seal the hole. There was a metal net inside the funnel. From beginning to end, the mutant ants that were alarmed in the nest could not escape and were blocked in the nest by three metal funnels.
Then Major Pei used wind power to roll up the burning barrel and poured the fuel into a metal funnel. In order to achieve the best effect, Major Pei also used wind to blow the fuel into the cave where the wind could reach.
Others could not see what was going on inside the cave, but Wen Yubai could "see" it clearly and saw that the fuel was evenly distributed.
However, the mutant ants must be very afraid of fuel. They are digging desperately in the direction where there is no fuel, trying to escape from the cave with fuel.
Wen Yubai clearly "saw" that the mutant ants' digging ability was comparable to that of a mole. In just five minutes, the cave they were in was almost twice as large as before. Fortunately, their cave was at the foot of the mountain, and it was impossible for them to dig an escape passage so quickly.
At this time, Major Pei also ordered the fire-type mutants to set fire. With Major Pei using wind energy to help combustion, the flames quickly spread to the entire mutant ant nest. The mutant ants could not hold on to the raging fire for less than a few seconds before falling into the flames.
Only then did Wen Yubai discover that these mutant ants actually had the ability to help burn. The more mutant ants fell into the fire, the more vigorously the fire burned.
Then everyone began to smell the aroma of grilled meat in the air. If they hadn't thought about how ferocious the mutant ants were, many people present would have drooled.
The fire burned for more than two hours. During this time, the mutant ants twice tried to dig a tunnel from the exit of the nest to escape, but were all burned to death by the fire-type mutants.
After the fire stopped, in order to make sure that all the mutant ants were eliminated, Wen Yubai dug the entrance of the nest to a diameter of one meter. Major Pei used a life detector to survey the area and only withdrew his team after making sure that there were no living things in the nest.
Compared with the extreme brutality of the mutant ant colony, the process of annihilating the mutant ant colony seems too dull and peaceful.
You don't even need too many people, just one gold-type mutant, one wind-type mutant and one fire-type mutant will be enough.
But for the people at Base No. 7, they were relieved that they could deal with the mutant ant colony so easily.
"The most terrifying thing about the mutant ants is that they appear silently, and their large numbers can kill an elephant. If you encounter them, you can't run away, and you can't kill so many of them," said Wang Cuishan.
Wen Yubai felt that no matter what personal grudges the No. 7 Base Army and the Wang family had, they could restrain each other and act in a consistent manner. If both forces could maintain such a code of conduct in the future, they should be able to live in peace for a while after resolving the threats of the mutant ant colony and the mutant wolfhound pack.
Unfortunately, their potential danger was not necessarily eliminated. Wen Yubai originally wanted to discuss it with Major Pei and then have him report it to the military. Now that the two forces of Base No. 7 were in front of her, it was a good opportunity, so she said, "When we came to Base No. 7, we encountered a group of mutant elephants that were frightened by mutant ants chasing them. Later, we saw a big bus. The people on the bus must have encountered mutant ants and turned into skeletons. I carefully checked the time of these two events. These two events should have happened at about the same time, and the distance between the two is about 50 to 60 kilometers."
At the speed they were tracking the mutant ant colony today, the mutant ant colony could not possibly be that fast.
The first person whose expression changed was Wang Cuishan. People with higher IQ tend to react quickly. Although Colonel Lin seemed a bit careless, his reaction speed was only slightly slower, faster than Wang Xiaobo's. Then, everyone who understood what she said changed their expression.
The people at Base No. 7 did not think that the mutant ant colony was easy to deal with just because they easily burned it to ashes. It was Major Pei and his men who discovered it first, and then they were tracked by satellite surveillance.
Without this premise, finding mutant ants of the same white color in the vast snowy wilderness would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
"Yubai, do you mean that there are more than just this group of mutant ants?" Wang Cuishan asked.
"I don't have any solid evidence. You have to investigate it yourselves," Wen Yubai said.
"I have also reported this suspicion to my superiors. They will continue to track and scan the area around Base No. 7. You should also send more people out to investigate. It would be best if you drive the car that Xiaowen modified." Major Pei said.
The people at Base No. 7 looked at the first and second best masters of the Flower Country and they all had a common mindset, wanting to keep them at Base No. 7.
Unfortunately, Major Pei’s identity is too strong. He is the deputy commander of Base No. 5. His transfer requires an order from the military, so they cannot keep him just because they want to.
Wen Yubai and Major Pei are a couple. Unless they can separate the two, there is no way they can keep Wen Yubai.
The military has approved that the mission was successfully completed, so Major Pei plans to go back.
Although they had been tracking the six mutant ants, Major Pei also checked the situation of Professor Ye and the others from the satellite video from time to time. At this time, there were many mutant animals surrounding the small metal building.
The metal building condensed by Wen Yubai was very solid. The mutant animals had no way of getting in, and it was enough to support them until they could return.
Because the operation went smoothly, it was only ten o'clock in the evening when Major Pei, Wen Yubai, Professor Ye and others met up.
All the cars at Base No. 5 were converted into RVs by Wen Yubai. The people at Base No. 5, who were eager to return home, did not want to waste time and planned to drive away that night, thus saying goodbye to the people at Base No. 7.
After that, they didn't encounter any problems while driving on the Rick Plateau. They drove out of the Rick Plateau smoothly and arrived near their Quentin city.
"We haven't killed zombies in a long time." Wen Weize, who had been stuck in the car for the past few days, began to get eager to try. There are millions of zombies in Quentin City.
His current cultivation has reached the first level of perfection, and with a little more effort he should be able to advance to the second level.
"What is the current situation in Quentin City?" Wen Yubai asked Major Pei.
They killed the second-level zombie leader in Quentin City seven days ago. They didn’t know whether the zombie group in Quentin City had produced another second-level zombie in these days.
"The higher-ups monitored that three days ago, the zombies in Quentin City evolved into level two zombies," said Major Pei.
Wen Yubai was not surprised at all. In fact, if the two of them had not killed the original level 2 zombie, Quentin City would probably have evolved more than just two level 2 zombies.
“I’m not going to ask you two to kill level 2 zombies again, am I?” Wen Weize asked with lingering fear.
He did not forget the consequences of his second sister's trip to Quentin City to kill level 2 zombies.
"There are already quite a few level 2 psychics in Base No. 6. They are capable of handling it. After all, we are not from Base No. 6. It is impossible for them to ask us to do everything," said Major Pei.
