84 The Power of Workers
The armored vehicle left the hotel more than 100 meters away, and a construction site that had been suspended appeared on the roadside. The color steel plate isolation wall that originally surrounded the construction site was demolished half a month ago and used as materials for building the city wall. Now only the bare frame was left standing around the construction site.
Giant ants were running on the messy construction site, at least hundreds of giant ants were running around. Needless to say, this was also a disaster area for the infestation of giant ants.
However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The workers on the construction site did not sit and wait for death. They used all means to resist the invasion of giant ants.
Ye Han was surprised to see that a crawler excavator with steel guardrails welded outside a car building raised the bucket high, turned a small circle quickly, aimed at the giant ant on the ground and smashed it down heavily, just smashing a running giant ant to the ground.
The six limbs of the giant ant struggled and trembled violently as if they were electrocuted, but how could the power of the flesh fight against the power of the machine? The shaking limbs became slower and slower, and soon stopped forever.
The giant ants nearby acted as if they didn't see it, and continued to move forward past the excavator.
The excavator immediately looked for the next target, and the bucket flipped over and shoveled into the waist of another giant ant, chopping the giant ant in half.
The huge bucket was like the feet of a naughty child, constantly rising and falling, stepping on one giant ant after another.
Ye Han was dazzled and couldn't help but cheer for the driver's precise control.
More than ten meters away, a loader flattened its bucket and suddenly smashed it down like an excavator, but the loader's mechanical arm was obviously not as flexible as the excavator, and the bucket pressed down too slowly. Before it hit the ground, the giant ant under the bucket had already run several meters away.
The master in the car was furious and simply drove the loader towards the giant ant, trying to crush the giant ant with the wheel, but the giant ant was very flexible. He finally crushed a giant ant, and the giant ant's dying counterattack bit the left front wheel.
However, even though the giant ant's jaws bit again and again at supersonic speed, they only left deep tooth marks on the tire and could never bite through the outer tire.
The giant ant with low intelligence had no idea that the loader used solid tires that did not need to be inflated. Unless the entire tire was bitten to pieces, even if it bit the giant jaws to pieces, the loader would be in vain.
The armored machine was slow, but the heavy-duty trucks deep in the construction site were different. Several modified heavy-duty trucks were lined up in a row, driving back and forth repeatedly in the ant colony. Even if the giant ant's body was much stronger than that of a human, it was not much better to be rolled under the car. The huge wheels crushed the giant ants along the way one by one.
Every giant ant rolled under the wheel would make a muffled sound like a tomato being stepped on. Even if they were lucky enough to be rolled under the car, they would be severely injured by the solid chassis.
Although the ant colony has a clear division of labor, there is no strange ant species like medical ants. The giant ants with heavy responsibilities will not die for a while, but death is only a matter of time. In contrast, the giant ants caught in the wheels die more easily and do not have to endure so much pain.
Strangely, only a few giant ants tried to fight back. They climbed onto various engineering machinery and bit them randomly. However, the giant jaws that have always been invincible have no effect in front of the heavy steel machinery. Unless they accidentally bite the tire, there is a possibility of paralyzing the engineering vehicle.
Ye Han stubbornly believed that it was only a possibility. The standard weight of a heavy-duty truck is 55 tons, but there are many overloaded ones. There have even been cases where the actual weight is 160 tons and the overload is 110 tons. The car was fine but crushed the bridge.
This shows that no matter how strong the wheels of a heavy-duty truck are, the giant ants may not bite through them, but will definitely break their teeth.
The windows of the heavy-loaded trucks were wide open, and the passengers in the co-pilot seats kept firing double-barreled shotguns. Due to the extremely close distance, the shotguns had a very high hit rate, but the giant ants were fine after being hit by the shotguns. They continued to do what they were supposed to do. As a result, after a few shots, the people in the car stopped firing.
Ye Han and Zhou Yun, who witnessed this scene, looked at each other in surprise.
This is not right. There are news about giant ants rampaging everywhere, but how come it is the giant ants that are being abused here?
Ye Han was filled with emotion: "This person is not afraid of not having ability, but of not having courage."
"Isn't it? If you encounter giant ants, you don't think about how to escape, but only think about how to kill them. Can you still make a group of ants turn the world upside down?" Zhou Yun echoed a few words, and then added, "With or without a gun, it's really the same. A man can still fight giant ants without a gun; a coward is still a coward even if you give him a cannon."
"It would be better if there were more people like this." Ye Han said.
Zhou Yun sighed, and suddenly raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Strange, why do I feel that the giant ants are walking around those cars?"
Ye Han thought for a while and said: "Old Qin said that this kind of ants eat meat. The cars are all iron and can't be eaten. They are looking for food." Ants don't have brains and act only on instinct. Even if the defenders kill more giant ants, the ant colony will not remember the grudge. The only explanation for rushing into the city is to find food.
Zhou Yun nodded with a complicated expression: "Let's go, we are not needed here." Giant ants eat meat, and with the size of giant ants, they must eat a lot of food at every meal.
The natural environment of the earth has been severely damaged by humans. There are not many small wild animals in the wild, let alone large wild animals. The most numerous animal on land is human. What else can hungry giant ants eat if not human?
The armored vehicle drove away from the construction site, but the scene of a group of engineering machinery fighting against the swarm of insects lingered in Ye Han's mind.
The straight-line distance between the construction site and Yucai Primary School was only about 300 meters. When the armored vehicle drove to the gate of the primary school, Ye Han had not yet recovered from his shock.
At this time, the electric retractable door of Yucai Primary School was wide open, and giant ants were rampant on the playground, with a few hundred in number. The doors and windows of several teaching buildings were closed, and behind each piece of glass were terrified faces.
Seeing the police car parked outside the school gate, many people showed surprised expressions, but when they saw the giant ants all over the playground, the surprise immediately turned into disappointment.
A police car can only carry five or six people at most. Even if it is made of iron, how many nails can these few people hammer? Can they deal with the giant ants all over the yard?
Ye and Zhou also felt extremely difficult. Zhou Yun immediately reported the situation in the school to the command center, hoping that the command center would mobilize more people to protect the school.
The command center's answer was that there was no one to mobilize, and emphasized that they did not need the two of them to eliminate many giant ants, but only needed the two of them to ensure the safety of the people in the school as much as possible.
At present, there are gunshots and explosions everywhere in the city. It is not surprising that there are no extra people in the bureau, but asking them to protect a full two thousand people really makes Zhou Yun a little confused.
