These people are very fast, but because of the presence of termites, they have to devote most of their manpower to fighting them.
The termite infestation is extremely severe. The surrounding area is swarming with tiny white termites, blocking out the sun and greatly obstructing people's vision.
These soldiers in camouflage uniforms, though each one was very brave, still seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the vast, fearless swarm of termites.
"Damn it, there are too many termites, we have to find a way."
One of the captains, wearing epaulets, finally couldn't stand the termites any longer. He pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Leave some people here to fight the termites, and the rest of you will work together to clear the road. We don't have much time left, and we must get back as soon as possible. Otherwise, the entrances and exits to the upper floors will be closed, and we will never be able to go back."
The other party's voice was very loud, mainly so that everyone could hear it, and Lu Yuan, who was hiding not far away, also clearly heard his command.
After hearing the order, Lu Yuan immediately had a general idea: "It seems they really are from the high-level area. I didn't expect them to actually send people. But do they really want to take this Earth Core Crystal? What use would they have for it?"
Lu Yuan was somewhat reluctant to let them take the Earth Core Crystal, because his spatial upgrade was only achieved after he extracted energy from the Earth Core Crystal last time.
Lu Yuan secretly guessed that if he could get his hands on this Earth Core Crystal, he could upgrade his dimensional space a second time.
Although his dimensional space was enormous, Lu Yuan felt that something was still missing, such as something to increase food production or some minerals. He wanted to explore its mysteries further.
However, taking action now would not be a wise choice. Although these soldiers were in a very disheveled state, they were still more than capable of dealing with him, especially the armored vehicles that were on guard nearby. The people inside were obviously hiding in the vehicles, preparing to protect the Earth's core.
If he went out now, he would likely be shot dead on the spot, and Lu Yuan did not want to take the risk; he wanted to wait for a better opportunity.
Finally, they successfully transported the enormous Earth core to the back of the armored vehicle. Several people took out sturdy ropes to secure the Earth core, and then found some acid-resistant cloth to cover the entire rear of the armored vehicle.
"How's the road clearing going? We're about to set off!"
The squad leader picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted something loudly.
Then, the response came through the walkie-talkie from the team that had cleared the road.
"The roads have been cleared, and we can proceed with the evacuation! However, the termite swarm is trying to block us! Captain, you need to send some more people to assist us!"
"Second and third teams, you must immediately go to the road to assist the transport vehicles. Make sure the termite swarm doesn't destroy them!"
The other two groups immediately put away their flamethrowers and led their teammates to run in the distance.
The convoy began to organize its retreat, and Lu Yuan looked at the military vehicles, feeling anxious. He knew that if he tried to catch up on foot, he would definitely be left behind on the road.
Then Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he found a moment to sneak up and lie in ambush. The team members obviously did not notice Lu Yuan's presence. Lu Yuan rolled on the spot and landed under the chassis of an armored vehicle.
Hiding under the car, Lu Yuan looked at the undercarriage armor below and got a general idea of what was going on. Then he secured his body to the undercarriage armor.
Soon, the car started and sped away.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, quietly looked at the road on both sides, afraid that he might be knocked off his feet by some bumpy or uneven sections of the road.
Fortunately, the roads in the middle-level area are different from those in the urban area and industrial zone. The roads here are very smooth, and Lu Yuan can basically ignore the debris on the road.
Occasionally, a few small stones would fly up and hit Lu Yuan on the back as the wheels rolled over them. He didn't know if his back was bleeding, but he felt extremely painful.
Because he was under the car, he didn't know where he was; he just kept moving forward with the car.
The car was going very fast, and Lu Yuan felt that the scenery in front of him was constantly flying by.
Finally, Lu Yuan heard a sudden braking sound from ahead. He quickly turned his head to look ahead and saw many feet on the road ahead.
Lu Yuan had no idea where he was when he heard a series of urgent shouts coming from afar.
"Get out of my way, or we'll open fire!"
The person who spoke was the squad leader, but after he finished speaking, there seemed to be no reaction, and the people in front continued to intercept him as usual.
They blocked the way for the cars and slowly approached the convoy, with one of them shouting.
"You can't just leave us here in the middle floors. We want to go up to the upper floors with you, otherwise we won't let you through!"
At this moment, one of the team members also started asking questions.
"Captain, we don't have much time left. Should we just fight our way out?"
The captain paused for a few seconds before shouting at the crowd.
"I'm giving you five seconds to get out of here right now, or we'll shoot!"
