Jock looked at Lu Yuan and finally nodded.
"Okay! I'm not usually one to create trouble for myself, but for your sake, I've decided to call and ask!"
So, Jock picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered after a while.
"Hello! Is this the biology team? I'm from the geological exploration team! ...Yes, yes, I found some termites here! I wanted to ask if these termites are male or soldier termites... Okay! Please tell me!"
Then Joker waved to Lu Yuan, who walked over and picked up the box containing ants, examining it as he answered.
"Yes, yes, the head is very round, the tentacles are very long and thin... That's right, the belly is big, and there are two thorns underneath!... Okay! I got it!"
After saying that, Jock hung up the phone.
"how's it going?"
"It's confirmed! This is a male ant!"
"Oh? It's definitely male ants! Then it seems this place is a termite nest! As long as we destroy the termite nest, this area should be fine!"
"Yes! That's right! The biology team is on their way!"
"Then let's wait a bit!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to the other person.
When Qiao Ke saw the cigarette Lu Yuan offered him, he was slightly taken aback: "Tobacco cigarettes?"
"Yes! It's not some junk stuff with tobacco residue stuck to tree leaves!"
Jock's face lit up with joy. He rubbed his hands on his clothes, then took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a small puff.
Jock, who hadn't smoked a cigarette in a long time, looked completely satisfied.
"Wow! This feels so good! I haven't felt this way in ages! These old cigarettes were just garbage!"
After saying that, Jock couldn't bear to waste the cigarette and quickly took big drags on it.
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't smoke, Qiao Ke was taken aback: "You don't smoke?"
"Yes! I've quit smoking!"
"Then give me the cigarette!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person, then offered them the cigarette.
Upon receiving the cigarettes, Jock beamed with joy.
Wow! I never thought I could still find cigarettes like this these days! They're really good!
After saying that, the other person carefully put the cigarette into their pocket.
I'll get you some good stuff later!
Lu Yuan shook his head, not intending to use this favor.
"No need! I don't need anything right now!"
"All right!"
Jock squatted to the side, slowly smoking, his expression of satisfaction making him feel like he was flying.
Not long after, the sound of a car engine came from the side.
Several people in white coats got out of the car and walked towards Lu Yuan and his companion.
Who just made the call?
Jock waved: "It's me!"
So the group looked at Jock and asked, "Where are the ants? Let us see them!"
So Jock handed the box containing the ants to the other person. The group glanced at the box, exchanged looks, and then nodded.
"Good! It seems these must be male ants! Where did you find them?"
Jock pointed to the spot above where the rope had just been bitten through and said, "That's the place!"
The doctors in white coats nodded in agreement, then took their backpacks off their backs and attached ropes and spears to their nail guns one by one.
A series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out as several people in white coats tested the sturdiness and began preparing to climb.
They didn't say a single unnecessary word and were completely focused on their work.
Soon, several people went up, and then they shone their flashlights into the crack. Sure enough, they saw a large army of white termites moving around inside.
"Pry it open!"
Several people nodded, then looked at the surrounding rock layers to determine the location, and then someone took out a pen and started drawing lines.
Soon after the marked positions were determined, several people took out a cutting machine and began cutting the rock layer.
A series of piercing sounds rang out, and fragments kept falling down. Looking at this scene, Lu Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
However, nothing unusual happened. As the cutting machine continued to cut, more and more rock powder fell down.
Suddenly, a rock above couldn't withstand the pressure and broke off.
"careful!"
A voice shouted from below, and a biologist quickly twisted his body to dodge the attack from the rock.
"Phew! That was close!"
Everyone couldn't help but wipe away a bead of sweat.
But Lu Yuan's eyes were still fixed on the area inside the rock layer above.
Behind the broken rock layer, a dense swarm of white termites was wriggling. Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt his whole body begin to itch.
The others were all shocked when they saw this.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! So many termites!"
"Holy crap! How many termites are there?! Is this a termite nest? It feels like there are still some inside!"
"Keep going! Keep taking these rocks down! Maybe we can kill all the termites!"
Everyone offered their suggestions, but Lu Yuan had a bad feeling about it.
"Wait a minute! I suggest we use a flamethrower to kill these termites from a distance! Otherwise, we might be in trouble once they fly out!"
One of the biology experts chuckled dismissively: "It's alright! The formic acid from termites isn't enough to damage our protective suits! It's fine!"
