Three Hundred and Sixty Seventh, Tragic

In the cave, as always, hundreds of men, women and children whose life and death were unknown were lying quietly on the ground, but there were many people missing on the edge of the crowd.

A small group of boxing ants was crawling towards the crowd. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help being furious. He rushed up, raised his feet high and landed heavily, kicked the boxing ants into the soil one by one, and then crushed several times hard. Grind until the boxer ants are rotten into a ball of meat and then stop.

The luthier waved at the armored convoy behind him, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and don't dawdle!"

The armored support vehicle was the first to drive into the spacious burrow to make way for the convoy behind. The armored vehicles in front did not approach the victim after entering the burrow, but turned around and backed up, retreating into several forks leading to the burrow. Align the passage with the rear of the car, and only pass through the hole when you stay.

The armored vehicle was too narrow and the passage was too wide, and it was impossible to block the opening, but the soldiers of the first company did so, and after pouring the armored vehicle in, they opened the hatch at the rear of the vehicle.

There was no one in those armored vehicles, and the depths of the empty compartments were filled with electronic equipment of the same model, and it was unknown what they were.

The people present were not surprised by this, they quickly left the car and started rescue on the spot.

The so-called rescue is actually to move all the people on the ground into the armored vehicle. Soldiers wearing fireproof suits work in groups of two, first fix the victims on the stretchers, and then send the stretchers to the armored vehicles one by one.

After the stretcher is sent to the armored vehicle, it is immediately fixed on the specially designed noose, just like hanging a hammock in the carriage. The armored vehicle is eight meters long, three meters wide, and two meters high. More than 30 people were packed.

Not too much, but three vehicles can transport a hundred people, which is already very good considering the conditions of the ant nest.

The soldiers wore heavy fireproof suits, which inevitably affected the speed of transportation. The armor on Ye Han and others was much thicker than the fireproof suits, but the auxiliary power of the armor was a good thing. Not only did it not affect the actions of several people, but it also had extra In addition, the four of them are the most sensitive in the cave. Others carry people in groups of two. The few of them can easily and happily pick up the victim and send it into the armored vehicle with big strides. The efficiency of four people is better than that of a whole The infantry in the platoon is even taller.

The victims who were full of holes had been lying on the ground for more than two months. Their clothes were already dirty and messy, and many of them were not even fully clothed.

Some people even had holes in their bodies bitten by unknown bugs!

The worst victim, one eye was bitten into a hole, the eyelid and eyeball were eaten up by worms, and the worm even took the emptied eye socket as a new home.

This is not a big deal, the ground in the bone mound is full of mud, and the victim's skin is in direct or indirect contact with the ground, and it lasts for more than two months after contact, although their metabolism rate is only 1/400 of that of ordinary people, but There are still many people whose skin is swollen and festered.

The ulcerated skin of the victims seemed to be peeled off alive, exposing the muscles under the skin. The muscles of many people were in direct contact with the soil on the ground. The soil seemed to seep into the flesh and become a part of the skin or body!

Some people have very little flesh and blood left, with pale bones exposed, and through the gaps between the ribs, the internal organs behind the bones can be clearly seen - after a long time, Ye Han knew that after peeling off the skin, the muscles in contact with the air Will dissolve slowly!

Obviously, although the physiological functions of the victims were anesthetized by the box ants, the environment around them was slowly eroding their bodies. Even if they were not eaten by the box ants, they would gradually die during the long period of rest.

The soldiers who witnessed this scene were stunned and didn't know how to deal with those horrific injuries, and many of them seemed to have lost the possibility of surviving, but the life detector could detect a clear heartbeat.

The luthier immediately realized that it was the anesthesia that saved these victims who should have lost their lives long ago, but it is really hard to call these tragic victims lucky.

Everyone secretly imagined what the victim would be thinking these days if his consciousness was still awake.

The excitement and joy at the beginning of the operation all disappeared at this moment, and many people had the same thought in their hearts: perhaps ending the life of the victim is the greatest kindness.

Ye Han wondered why there were no abnormalities found in the children who were rescued at the beginning, and couldn't help being curious about the state of the victims.

Carefully observing the rescued victims, Ye Han unexpectedly discovered that the older and weaker the person, the more dangerous the situation was, while the younger and the healthier people seldom found abnormalities, even if there was something wrong, the symptoms would be more dangerous. Also relatively light.

It's a pity that he is not a doctor, and he can't figure out the reason. The only thing he can do is to be as careful as possible when carrying it.

The first armored vehicle was quickly filled, and a soldier slammed the door and shouted loudly: "Okay!"

The engine roared immediately, and the armored vehicle turned on the spot, with a low gear and a high throttle, and suddenly drove into the passageway when it came.

The think tank in Beidu considered the issue very comprehensively. The modification not only reduced the weight and height of the armored vehicle, but also replaced the armored vehicle with new tires that are more suitable for climbing, so as to prevent the armored vehicle from encountering too steep sections in the ant nest.

However, there was no particularly steep section on the way here, and even in relatively steep areas, the slope was far less than 30 degrees.

While Ye Han and the others launched the rescue, the command post on the ground was not idle. They allocated half of the mobile forces of the other two companies and rushed to the bone mound to support the first company. All victims were rescued.

Although the space along the way is relatively narrow, there are many forks in the road, and there are a few staff officers in the headquarters to direct the traffic, so there is no need to worry about the armored vehicles smashing into the burrow.

The second armored vehicle involved in the rescue was not fully loaded, and the luthier suddenly received a report from the company commander: "Captain Bian, 803 has found an ant colony!"

Vehicle 803 is one of the armored vehicles blocking the cave. This news means that Boxer has discovered the anomaly here.

Remembering the siege and interception when he escaped from the cave, the luthier hurriedly said: "Don't let the ants come over!"

"Don't worry, that's what 803 is for." The company commander gave 803 an order to stop the ant colony in a deep voice.

The equipment in the armored vehicle compartment immediately entered the working state, and the microwave tube array emitted invisible microwaves deep into the anthole under the restraint of the compartment.

The hundreds of boxing ants rushing to the bone mound were attacked on the spot, and the water molecules inside and outside their bodies trembled and heated at the same time. In just a few seconds, the group of ants were roasted to half-cooked, and all the tentacles and compound eyes outside their bodies were useless. (To be continued.)
