Soon, an urgent shout came from the walkie-talkie.
"Is this the leader of Group Seven? I'm Wang Zhen, the head of the logistics and supply team! We've encountered a huge influx of termites! The tires on our vehicle were punctured by termites halfway through the journey! We can't make it any further!"
"What?"
Chu Jialin felt a jolt run through him, and Lu Yuan and Zhou Keke, who were standing next to him, were also shocked.
If the supply trucks can't keep up, the situation here will become even more critical. Behind the ant nests are even more termites. If the flamethrower team's fuel supply fails, everyone will die here.
"Damn it! Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?"
Chu Jialin trembled with rage and blurted out, "Is your brain filled with shit?! Why didn't you report something this important sooner?! I've already led my men to break through the Ant Nest! And you guys are just holding us back!"
Although Wang Zhen was very unhappy after being scolded by Chu Jialin, he felt that since he and Chu Jialin were of the same rank, he did not need to report to Chu Jialin.
However, the situation was extremely critical, and Wang Zhen had no choice but to swallow his anger and ask for the other party's help.
"Chu Jialin, could you... could you bring some people to help us? We're stuck in the car and can't get out!"
Chu Jialin sighed, then shouted into the phone, "Wait, you idiot!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jialin looked at Zhou Keke, and then Zhou Keke lowered her head and couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan again. It seemed that they were the only people they could use now.
So Chu Jialin said softly, "There's a rather urgent mission right now..."
"Let's go!"
Lu Yuan agreed without hesitation, without even letting the other party finish speaking.
Chu Jialin was stunned for a moment: "Uh...you two...are you two okay?"
Lu Yuan took out the nozzle of his flamethrower from his back and said to the other person, "It's fully loaded with fuel, which should be enough to rescue them! But you have to tell us their location first!"
Zhou Keke, who was standing nearby, quickly nodded: "Yes! We can go! Give us the address now!"
Chu Jialin nodded: "Alright! You two, then I'll leave it to you!"
Then Chu Jialin took out the locator, looked at it, and told Lu Yuan and the other person the location.
Zhou Keke glanced at Lu Yuan, then asked softly, "Are you... are you sure it's just the two of us?"
“That’s right! If we bring too many people, are we supposed to run back? The situation is urgent, the fewer people the better. Two people are enough to coordinate! Then…”
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Standing to the side, Chu Jialin was curious to see Zhou Keke being so respectful to Lu Yuan.
"Um...which of you two is the captain?"
Lu Yuan pointed at Zhou Keke: "Of course it's him! I'm just a team member!"
Chu Jialin shrugged: "Alright! Be careful on your journey! Come as soon as possible, our fuel supply here might not last much longer!"
Lu Yuan looked back at the flamethrower team members in the distance. They had been strictly divided into three groups. One group was responsible for using flamethrowers to kill the termites, another group was preparing, and the third group was going to the back to fill in the fuel.
Since it is an armored personnel carrier, it does not carry a lot of fuel; most of the compressed fuel is in the supply vehicle at the rear.
So the two of them quickly headed toward the designated location. Along the way, they didn't encounter too many termite attacks. The termites outside the Great Wall were basically eliminated, while the inside of the Great Wall was the real termite nest, where there were countless termites and countless termite eggs.
Fortunately, the cave wasn't very wide. After running for a while, the two finally saw a bright light in the distance and termites attacking the supply vehicle under the light.
However, there was no one outside the supply truck; all of them were huddled inside the truck and dared not come out.
Seeing this, Zhou Keke angrily cursed, "These idiots, don't they know the purpose of protective suits? They're too scared to come out!"
However, Lu Yuan didn't say much. He checked the flamethrower in his hand and casually crushed a few termites on his body.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to turn on the flamethrower, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind the supply convoy.
The towering flames instantly illuminated all the nearby caves, and Lu Yuan quickly crouched down to prevent the rock layer beneath his feet from collapsing in the explosion.
The explosion caused a violent tremor. Lu Yuan reached out and touched the ground, feeling the vibrations in the rock layers. He was ready to enter the dimensional space at any moment.
Fortunately, the explosion was not very strong, so the tremors gradually weakened and disappeared after only a few seconds.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Keke, who was squatting down beside him, followed Lu Yuan's actions. When she saw Lu Yuan stand up, Zhou Keke hesitated for a moment before standing up as well.
"What happened up ahead? How could there have been an explosion?"
Zhou Keke stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. She saw that a heavy truck loaded with fuel at the back of the supply convoy had been burned to ashes, and a large number of termites had also been burned to ashes in the flames.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly led Zhou Keke to rush towards the distance. When they got closer, they saw that the front tire of the leading truck had been punctured by a stalagmite on the ground, and the front of the truck was tilted to the side, with a large number of termites constantly gnawing at the tire.
