So their plan ultimately fell through. In fact, the moment Lu Yuan started driving, he had already prepared to escape.
But seeing the cars behind him catching up one after another, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Thank you all for your trust! You've made the choice you've been working towards! Congratulations!"
Instead of being pleased by Lu Yuan's words, everyone continued on their way with heavy hearts.
When they arrived at the next ant nest, Lu Yuan looked at the walkie-talkie and then at the car in the rearview mirror.
"Everyone, let's get to work!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan jumped out of the car first, holding a flamethrower and began to kill the nearby termite swarm.
Seeing Lu Yuan get off the bus, the others followed suit.
Then, everyone got into their respective work mode.
The ant extermination operation has resumed its normal, orderly operation.
Lu Yuan looked at everyone and felt somewhat comforted.
With a loud "boom", the ant nest in front of them collapsed instantly.
Just as the flamethrower team was about to step forward to provide support, they heard a rattling sound coming from inside.
Upon hearing this sound, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What's going on? Send someone in to check!"
Zhou Keke led a few people inside, each carrying a powerful flashlight.
But Lu Yuan suddenly called out to the other person: "Wait a minute! Keep watch outside the cave entrance!"
Zhou Keke immediately stopped in her tracks.
Lu Yuan walked closer, holding a flamethrower and looking at the dust on the other side of the cave entrance: "Water truck! Dust suppression!"
Then, the water truck behind quickly drove over, and several jets of water continuously sprayed towards the collapsed opening.
Soon, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop the water spraying.
Behind the cave entrance, huge pits appeared on the ground, filled with writhing creatures that looked extremely eerie.
"These are...these are all queen ants?"
When Zhou Keke saw the scene in the distance, she immediately got goosebumps.
Behind the entrance to the cave, the area resembled a bombarded position, riddled with huge craters. In each crater, a large, bristly, white-and-red insect continuously spewed termite eggs from its cloaca.
When everyone saw this scene, they felt disgusted.
Lu Yuan turned to look at everyone: "It seems we've discovered the main base of these ant nests!"
Zhou Keke reached out and scratched her arm, feeling an itch all over her body.
"Brother Tian, what... what do we do next? There are so many termites and so many holes, we can't possibly get through!"
"Yes! There are so many potholes, our car simply can't get through! If we want to clear such a large area, it will take us at least several days to make a road!"
Even Chu Jialin felt a sense of powerlessness. So many termite queens meant that the termite colony inside was even larger.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. There are probably a lot of soldier ants inside! Let's hold them off first!"
"Alright! But these soldier ants don't seem to be making any moves right now..."
Before Chu Jialin could finish speaking, a dense, rustling sound came from above the pit opposite.
"Oh no! Get ready! Get ready!"
Lu Yuan immediately shouted loudly, then grabbed Chu Jialin and pulled her over.
Chu Jialin staggered a couple of steps and almost fell. When he looked back, he saw a large swarm of termites suddenly emerge from above the pit.
These winged soldier ants were even much larger than the previous ones.
They pounced on the crowd like little quails.
Lu Yuan picked up the flamethrower and began to spray fiercely at the quail-sized soldier ants.
However, there were simply too many soldier ants, and no one could completely stop their invasion.
The killed soldier ants fell to the ground with a "thump-thump-thump" sound.
Then, many soldier ants rushed across the line of fire in an instant.
"Ah! My hand! Damn it! Get away from me!"
"So many soldier ants! Help! Please save me!"
"What the hell are those things? They're rushing at us! Get out of the way!"
"..."
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Lu Yuan felt as if he had made a fatal mistake.
He seriously underestimated the size of these mutated termites.
The termites, which were the size of dragonflies, led them to believe that these were the largest mutated termites.
Unexpectedly, the mutated termites here were larger than dragonflies, and they continued to grow larger.
Although flamethrowers are very powerful and a magic weapon for eliminating termites, when faced with so many soldier ants whose heads are only the size of quails, the intense flames didn't even kill them before the soldier ants rushed over.
Their size, flight speed, and biting ability all exceeded everyone's expectations.
He raised his hand and shone the powerful flashlight into the cave, only to find that there was nothing inside except for the dense swarm of soldier ants.
Soon, a large pile of termite corpses accumulated on the ground.
While directing everyone to take cover inside the car, Lu Yuan also observed the situation in the vicinity.
