Where is your captain?
At this moment, Zhou Keke walked over, stretched out her hand, and said, "Team leader, I'm here!"
"Phew! That scared me to death! I thought there were already casualties! Are your team alright?"
"fine!"
When Zhou Keke finished speaking, she immediately looked at Lu Yuan, because it was all thanks to Lu Yuan that no one was injured. If it weren't for Lu Yuan, their team might have been wiped out.
Lu Yuan saw the gratitude in Zhou Keke's eyes, but nodded slightly to indicate that he was fine.
So, Zhou Keke reported on the situation of her team, the people she brought, and the tools she had brought.
After listening, Chu Jialin nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! It's truly commendable that you performed like this in this environment. Keep it up! Now, take your men to the front lines immediately and start digging for ant nests!"
"Yes, team leader!"
Zhou Keke saluted Chu Jialin, then turned to Lu Yuan and the others and shouted, "Brothers, grab your weapons and charge with me!"
So everyone immediately took out their tools from behind their backs and rushed toward the designated location.
Upon getting closer, Lu Yuan could see clearly that in front of the pit was a tall anthill, like a city wall, made of mud and various slimes.
Inside the termite mound, you can see countless termites, like stars, being dug out. They organize themselves to launch an attack on the humans who are destroying their home.
These termites are mostly worker termites. Soldier termites, relying on their wings, can fly directly into the air to attack humans, but these wingless worker termites can only continuously spray acid at people wielding shovels.
The people from Group 7 are now gathered here. This is an ant nest that stretches for several kilometers. When Lu Yuan saw this ant nest that stretches for several kilometers, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This huge ant nest is only a small part of this hollow area. There are likely even larger ant nests waiting for them to excavate. This ant nest, several kilometers long, stands before everyone like a Great Wall.
Such a massive project would not be surprising if it were done by humans, but these ant nests are clearly the work of termites. Lu Yuan couldn't even imagine how many termites could build such large nests in such a short period of time.
Trillions of termites? Or even more?
Lu Yuan couldn't imagine it; he just gripped the shovel tightly and walked toward the ant nest.
Once they got close, Zhou Keke began assigning tasks. Some people were responsible for watering the ant nests to loosen the soil on the surface, making them easier to dig. The rest of the people were responsible for connecting the water pipes and digging.
When Zhou Keke saw Lu Yuan, she actually wanted to assign him an easier task, but she didn't expect that Lu Yuan was already carrying a shovel and walking towards the ant nest.
"Alright, Lu Yuan and the rest of you will be in charge of digging up the ant nests!"
With a "snap," Lu Yuan could clearly feel as if he had pierced a piece of flesh with the shovel, and a large amount of liquid flowed out from the gaps in the shovel.
Lu Yuan was somewhat shocked. He then pulled out the shovel, only to find it covered in a greenish liquid. This liquid was acid secreted by termites. This acid was strong enough to easily corrode the human body, and it was even capable of damaging iron and rocks.
Fortunately, some special treatments had been taken to prevent these tools from being corroded by formic acid.
So the formic acid on the shovel slid off easily.
Then, like everyone else, Lu Yuan began to continuously excavate the thick ant nest.
With another shovel stroke, a large ant nest was unearthed, and immediately a swarm of white termites wriggling everywhere appeared before Lu Yuan's eyes. He felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
However, Lu Yuan did not stop and continued to dig deeper. Another shovelful of termite nests was dug up, and this time even more termites appeared inside. Seeing their home destroyed, the termites opened their mouths and rushed towards the group.
The ground looked like a white wave, with more and more termites rushing out.
Lu Yuan wanted to continue digging, but Zhou Keke stepped forward and gently pulled Lu Yuan's arm.
"Brother, step back and kill the termites first!"
Behind him, a row of team members, already prepared, held flamethrowers and aimed them at the waves of termites before pulling the triggers.
With a "click," the nozzle in the flamethrower was ignited, and then intense flames sprayed towards the ant nest in front of it.
The crackling sound continued as a large number of termites were burned to a crisp. Only when no more termites emerged from the termite mound did the team members finally extinguish their flamethrowers.
The cave was filled with a strong, acrid smell of smoke, and the temperature in the vicinity rose several degrees instantly.
Fortunately, there is a large amount of groundwater here, and the heat dissipates quickly.
Then everyone started digging again, spraying water guns at the ant nest. With one shovel stroke, Lu Yuan dug up a large section of the ant nest.
As the group ventured deeper, the anthill "Great Wall" before them finally collapsed with a loud rumbling sound.
Many ant nests could not withstand the weight and collapsed one after another.
The crowd cheered in unison.
