One Hundred and Twenty-Six Strategic Retreat

After eating and drinking enough, Ye Han licked his unfinished teeth, and the fresh fragrance left between the teeth spread over the tip of his tongue, which made him have the urge to eat two more buns.

However, the six buns had already filled his belly, so he couldn't eat any more.

After walking around the armored vehicle for a few laps, the feeling of fullness finally dissipated. Seeing two companions walking out of the dining car from a distance, Ye Han waved to them, and the three of them boarded the armored vehicle and set off again.

The morning fog had cleared away long ago, and the bright sunlight shone down on the earth. As they walked along the railway, not long after passing the front of the train, a mountain of ant corpses came into Ye Han's eyes.

It was the corpse of a giant ant discarded by the train factory. The carapace several meters high piled up like a mountain. The ant meat in the carapace had long since rotted. People want to vomit.

The accumulated ant carcasses extend close to the railway to the ant-occupied area, with a length of nearly one kilometer.

All the ant corpses are the production waste dumped in the past few days. The reason for this is that the train factory has no energy to dispose of the excess ant corpses, so they can only discard them on the spot, allowing the ubiquitous microorganisms to naturally decompose the ant corpses. Let it return to nature.

At present, the ant-occupied area is expanding at an average daily rate of about 200 meters. In order to ensure a safe distance, the train factory has to retreat a corresponding distance every day. After a few days, it has already retreated one kilometer towards Fuyun, and the discarded ant corpses are everywhere. It gradually extends with the retreat of the train factory.

According to Ye Han's experience, the spreading speed of giant ants is definitely more than 200 meters per day. However, as the ant-occupied area expands, the ant colony gradually splits into several different groups, and the smell of each colony of giant ants is different. It is difficult for ant colonies to maintain peace, even if two colonies of ants come from the same source.

Due to the lack of food, civil strife often broke out among the ant colonies. While the civil strife consumed a large number of giant ants, it also limited the diffusion speed of the giant ants. Otherwise, the diffusion speed of the ant-occupied area would definitely exceed 200 meters per day.

With useless and confused thoughts in his mind, the armored vehicle gradually approached the ant-occupied area, and there were still more than two hundred meters away. Ye Han suddenly saw a group of giant ants hovering around the edge of the ant-occupied area.

Ye Han patted the roof of the car: "Stop!"

"What's the matter, platoon leader?" The driver poked his head curiously.

The veteran in the same car knocked on the driver's helmet with a loud chestnut: "You have a lot of things, and I haven't said anything yet (sound ni), what are you asking!"

The driver giggled, showing a thick canine tooth: "Platoon leader, the veteran bullied me again!"

Although Ye Han was borrowed by Long Jianguo, but the soldiers didn't know the inside story, they only regarded it as a newly transferred platoon leader.

Ye Han was wearing a woolen coat and was doing the work of a platoon leader, so he was too lazy to explain so much to the soldiers, so he simply made the mistake.

"How dare you file a complaint!" The veteran stared at him, making a gesture to strike, Huya quickly shrank his neck.

Ye Han chuckled: "There are a few ants in front, we don't need to run inside this time, Huya, lean over!"

"Okay!" Huya agreed, and the armored vehicle rumbled forward, not afraid of the giant ants finding out.

After summarizing for a period of time, the ant hunter team has mastered some of the behavioral characteristics of giant ants. They know that worker ants act with a sense of smell and are not sensitive to odors other than pheromones. The two super-sized compound eyes are no different from decorations.

The situation of soldier ants is slightly different. Apart from recognizing smells, this thing also likes to chase sounds.

Soldiers summed up a set of effective experience,

I also made up a few jingles: the worker ants throw the bottle, the soldier ants make noise, don't worry about the queen, she can't find it even if she is exhausted.

Anyway, the military doesn't need giant ants. Since Long Jianguo and below, no one in the ant hunting team rushed to find the queen, and continued to ravage the worker ants and soldier ants with peace of mind.

The armored vehicle was still a hundred and eighty meters away from the giant ants. Ye Han unexpectedly found that the giant ants suddenly climbed up the railway and jumped to the other side of the roadbed.

Ye Han punched the roof of the car angrily, and then ordered: "

At this moment, the few giant ants hurried back across the railway, each holding a piece of stinking ant shell.

Ye Han was a little dazed, what's going on?

He only knows that giant ants are used to moving their dead companions back to the anthole, and the reason for doing this is that dead ants emit some strong pheromones.

Could it be that these gland-stripped, fragmented ant shells also emit some kind of pheromone?

"Whatever you want!" Ye Han no longer hesitated, got out of the carriage and held the ant fork gun, ready to shoot at the giant ant.

But he seemed to see something wriggling out of the corner of his eyes, and subconsciously turned his head to look, stunned.

The pile of corpses on the other side of the roadbed was covered with giant ants at some point. They crawled out of the anthill in a line, meandering all the way to the pile of corpses, and reverently picked up a piece of ant shell and turned around silently.

The efficiency of the ant colony is terribly high. It only took a short while for the giant ants to move back and forth to remove all the ant shells.

Ye Han immediately realized that the reason why the ant colony is here is because the boundary of the ant-occupied area has just extended to the vicinity of the corpse pile. It is likely that some giant ants who went out for food accidentally found the corpse pile, which attracted a lot of people. force.

Based on Ye Han's understanding of giant ants, the stubborn ant colony will definitely move all the ant shells back to the nest. With the efficiency of giant ants, it will take a while to remove all the ant carcasses accumulated in the past few days. When the time comes, the ant colony will approach the train factory one kilometer away, and may even be attracted by the ant corpses in each workshop, and attack the train factory!

Thinking of this, Ye Han didn't dare to neglect, and didn't bother to catch any giant ants. He took off the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Old Dragon, something happened!"

Huya and the veteran looked up together, but couldn't see Ye Han's expression blocked by the carriage.

"So awesome?" The veteran muttered dissatisfiedly, turned his head and saw Huya looking at him, and immediately glared: "What are you looking at, drive your car."

Of the hundreds of people in the camp, only Ye Han dared to call the battalion leader Laolong. Long Jianguo didn't care at all, and he was smiling all day long.

Just kidding, the old dragon trainer is ruthless, the whole battalion from top to bottom, which one doesn't feel upset when it comes to the military crazy dragon Jianguolong? But Ye Han is the only one who is different. If there is no one on Ye Han, who will believe it?

Huya looked away aggrieved, with nowhere to vent his anger.

At this time, the two heard Long Jianguo's voice from the walkie-talkie: "What's going on?"

Ye Han briefly recounted what he saw, and explained his worries.

"Understood, withdraw immediately." Long Jianguo ordered.

Ye Han retreated into the carriage: "Huya, get out!"

"Okay!" Huya agreed, and the armored vehicle made a big circle and quickly retreated to the train factory.
