"What's the situation up ahead? Have the termites been eliminated yet?"
The captains of each squad began to report on the situation.
"One team killed a total of twenty termite queens! The western area has been completely cleared by us!"
"The second team killed a total of fifteen termite queens, and the northwest area has also been cleared!"
"The three teams have killed a total of seventeen termite queens. There are still a few termite queens left in the east direction. We will be able to take care of this area soon!"
"..."
A squad leader reported the entire situation over the walkie-talkie, and Lu Yuan was immediately very satisfied upon hearing it.
This squad, composed of members of the Long Group's suicide squad, unexpectedly possessed astonishing combat power after just three days of training, which surprised Lu Yuan.
A quick count revealed that they had killed nearly five hundred termite queens, which was a significant contribution to Lu Yuan's plan.
However, Lu Yuan did not know how many termite queens there were. If they were not completely killed, they would all become a source of trouble.
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan knew: "Notify all squads to speed up their advance. We must leave this place as soon as possible! Eliminating these queen ants is only part of our plan; there is an even more arduous task ahead of us!"
The team members below echoed each other, and then they began to gather their ranks and kill all the remaining termite queens.
After Lu Yuan received confirmation from all his team members that their areas had been cleared, he waved his hand and led everyone deeper into the ant nest.
After walking for about half an hour, the road ahead suddenly became very narrow again. It was a narrow passage, only wide enough for two people to pass side by side. Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of tension at the sight of such a narrow path.
"Everyone be careful, the road ahead is starting to narrow. We don't know if we'll encounter any trouble. How is the giant python doing? Report back if you know anything!"
Not long after, the members of the observation team sent a message.
"Mr. Lu, the giant pythons have disappeared without a trace. It's as if they vanished into thin air. We haven't found any evidence of them yet!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan frowned deeply.
These giant pythons are specifically designed to deal with termite queens. However, their biggest drawback is that they cannot be domesticated through artificial breeding. Therefore, these pythons act entirely on their own initiative.
This means that once these giant pythons are released, they will only choose their own routes to hunt for food, leaving Lu Yuan somewhat silent.
"Are there really no more giant pythons? If there are still termite queens in the remaining areas, we'll have to rely on manual methods to contain them, which could lead to casualties!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan glanced at the team members beside him.
They looked on with great enthusiasm, discussing how many termite queens they had just killed, which they considered as honorable as medals for soldiers.
Clearly, they felt the mission wasn't as difficult as they had imagined, but Lu Yuan had a vague feeling that the most difficult part was yet to come.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't imagine exactly where it would be or what might happen next, so after pondering for a moment, he told everyone to continue forward.
The narrow passage was pitch black, with water dripping from the cracks in the stones on the ground, making a splashing sound as people stepped on it.
Everyone fell silent. The further they went, the lower the air temperature became. Lu Yuan didn't know what lay ahead, so he could only warn his team to be extremely careful.
Lu Yuan walked in the middle of the group, silently holding a flashlight and looking at the surrounding walls. These walls were left by nature. The tops in this area are very high, and they are just cracks between rocks. It is mainly to see what kind of situation occurred during the earthquake.
So the group continued walking forward. After walking for a short while, a scream suddenly came from ahead, followed by a heart-wrenching scream from afar.
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly asked what was wrong.
"Report the situation up ahead immediately!"
A short while later, the team member at the front picked up the walkie-talkie and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Lu, something terrible has happened! A monster has appeared ahead, and several of our team members have been eaten by it!"
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion arose ahead, and everyone began to retreat in the direction they had come from, while the group behind was unaware of what was happening ahead.
I felt a commotion ahead, and suddenly the crowd surged backward like a wave, people pushing and shoving, everyone began to retreat.
Lu Yuan couldn't even stand steadily and was pushed to the back. He grabbed a stone on the wall tightly and shouted loudly.
"Don't panic if you encounter monsters, grab your weapons!"
However, Lu Yuan's voice was drowned out by the screams and cries. He was unable to convey his commands properly and could only hear the crowd in the distance calling for help.
Then a howl, like the roar of a wild beast, came from afar.
Lu Yuan felt a jolt in his heart; the beast's voice seemed to have become incredibly loud.
Through this narrow rock wall, the sound continuously spread to everyone's ears.
