Under Tom's command, the convoy drove along the deformed slope into the restaurant. Unlike the restaurant on the first floor below, there are no tall chairs or higher dining tables here. Each table in a Japanese cuisine restaurant is separated by a one meter high hollow wooden wall, which has two square grid glass windows on the top and bottom. The bottom is transparent glass, and the top is frosted glass.
The car stopped in a compartment and several soldiers got off to inspect. They saw a rectangular table inside the compartment, with two cattails on each side of the table. The traditional Japanese dining table is a kneeling position, but after all, this is a five-star hotel, and considering the habits of guests, a change has also been made here. There is a deep pit in the space under the table, even deeper than the floor where Pu Tuan is located, and the human legs can be placed just below, achieving a normal sitting position instead of kneeling.
After some inspection, the soldiers also found the bodies of cockroaches on several dining tables, but there were no other discoveries.
The convoy advanced cautiously, passing through the open operating platform to the east, and turning to the back, they discovered a glass wall with a figure crouching behind it.
"Hey, there are dead people again. It's really troublesome all the way." Due to the glass barrier, Liu Lian's voice radar couldn't detect the situation behind him, and he kept muttering to himself as he saw the figures in the afterglow.
As a result, the figure suddenly stood up, which startled him sitting in the front car and said, "Wow, it's a corpse!"
Others also raised their guns and nervously stared at the glass wall.
But when they fixed their eyes, it turned out that there was a living person behind the glass wall. The person was dressed in gauze and sat on a stone surrounded by white sand. Seeing them, the person immediately jumped up with joy, then raised his hands excitedly and turned his head to run backwards, seemingly shouting while running.
Behind the glass wall, it looks like a beach. In addition to white fine sand, there are several small rocky mountains of varying heights and sizes, which looks very much like being by the seaside. About ten people ran out from behind the mountain, all of them lying in front of the glass, very happy.
"Discovering survivors, great, Tom!" Liu Lian happily jumped out of the car and came to the glass, while the other soldiers were also in a good mood. After all, after being busy for so long and finally discovering new survivors, there's no need to worry about getting nothing.
Ouyang Haotian urgently suggested that Tom take off the male ant armor, and they stayed inside the armor feeling very dull. However, Tom did not slack off and rejected the proposal.
"Tom, how did you break the glass? Look at how happy they are. They don't need shells to break the glass?" Liu Lian asked excitedly, "You see how happy they are."
Zhao Zijian leaned over and took a closer look. The people inside were no longer as excited as before, but rather eagerly shouting something. Several people even kept pointing and pointing behind them. So he turned his head and looked behind him, immediately losing his color in shock: "No, ants, many ants!"
Everyone quickly turned around and saw ants of all sizes emerging from the floor and table, crawling towards them in a grand manner.
"Combat alert!" Tom shouted loudly, and the soldiers quickly ran to the side of the car, either holding guns or pulling up flamethrowers, feeling both nervous and excited.
After so long, we finally saw the big battle. It turned out to be just ants, even if there were many, they were enough to deal with those with flamethrowers.
Tom is an old acquaintance of ants. He was once besieged in the rental building and Longyao Home. At that time, there were fewer companions around him and even fewer with combat effectiveness. Now, with over 80 people and ten awakened individuals still wearing armor, it is much easier to deal with than before.
Watching ants emerging from all directions, the soldiers eagerly awaited Tom's orders. And Tom stood tall in his male ant armor, with the mutated little black cat bell standing beside him, looking bored at the ants without paying any attention to the dark ants.
Tom had long known about the effective range of firearms, and as he saw the large red headed ant arrive, he immediately ordered to fire, while also turning on all the flamethrowers and setting them on standby.
The head of a mutated red headed ant, which was the first to bear the brunt, was first opened by bullets and then flipped over and fell. The continuous sound of gunfire in the position kept ringing, and some red headed ants were shot one after another, either falling to the ground or stumbling to continue charging. Some soldiers also hit the floor, and as soon as a 0.2mm bullet hit the wooden floor, it immediately deformed, leaving a shallow hole without lifting any sawdust.
Tom touched the bell and let it roar an air compressor towards the dense ant colony. It was a bit reluctant, but looking at the dense ant swarm, it finally got the upper hand and opened its mouth to spray. The ants, big and small, were all blasted into the air, and their limbs and tails were scattered in the air.
The assault rifles in the hands of large ant soldiers can be used to shoot, but the smaller ones are more difficult to hit, and even if hit, the profit is not high. So the large ants that gradually rushed in were given special attention by them, and the few that could be approached were handed over to the awakeners for handling.
He is the only one in Zhao Xin's team who can wear armor, and the rest are mainly auxiliary. The types of attack abilities are rare, and they are mostly fought with firearms. On the contrary, the Pasha team, all four of whom can wear armor to fight, is a typical combat awakener.
As the little one rushed over, Tom immediately waved his hand and said, "Armor team, put on the flamethrower. Everyone else, pay attention to the muzzle and don't accidentally harm the Armor team!"
Five armored awakeners pulled the trigger, and the flames that were originally jumping at the muzzle suddenly burst out with blue flames that were two arms long due to the gushing of fuel. They lowered their guns against the incoming ants, waving like laser swords.
"Splash mode, open the splash mode for me!" Zhang Zijian, the captain of the Pasha team in charge of leading the armored team, loudly reminded the four awakeners to immediately adjust the output power on the flamethrowers. The fuel sprayed further, but not too much at once.
The result is that it can maintain a longer flame whip and burn more places, but the flame temperature is relatively lower. The reason for using this attack method is that they are mostly facing small ants, which can save fuel and cover more ants, making it a win-win situation.
Due to their larger coverage, Awakened Ones need to disperse more to avoid harming their teammates.
Tom regretted it a bit, because the male ant armor was too tall and the gaps between the armor were also large. If he rashly climbed up, he would only let these ants with big fists crawl in, so at this moment he could only stand behind. However, if it's just these ants, there's not much danger with the strength of the team. Those ordinary ants couldn't get close at all, and under the sweeping of the fire whip, they were all lying dead with six legs facing the sky.
In addition to 5 armor pieces holding flamethrowers, there are also 9 pairs of flamethrowers mounted on the vehicles, and those vehicles have already lined up to build defensive positions in the first place. The ants that have missed the armored team still have to face a denser fire net blockade.
The soldiers holding assault rifles are leisurely. They only need to eliminate the large mutated red headed ants, which are now few and far between. Naturally, they are cheering loudly and teasing each other for fun.
Ouyang Haotian, who has always been the foot of a male ant, is very unhappy. He is clamoring to take off the male ant and run out to have a good time, and if it's too late, the ants will burn them all.
However, Liu Lian frowned and said, "This is not right... We saw so many bodies of cockroaches and mice from outside the restaurant. We must have gone through brutal elimination here, and there is no reason why the remaining ants only have this skill."
"Ah..." Ouyang Haotian shouted, "In the Battle of Mutant Creatures, the Ants suffered heavy losses, so that's all we have left."
Tom shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, Liu Lian, continue to deploy the sound radar."
"Yes!" Liu Lian answered loudly, then continued to open the sound radar, but the focus was still on their backs and heads in reverse.
Quickly, the once dark ant colony was already few and far between. Even if they finally passed through the fire net and came to the soldiers, it did not cause much damage and were all crushed by their feet.
After all, ants that have not undergone mutation cannot cause any harm simply by biting.
The ant that broke in, fortunately not being trampled to death in the first place, is the beginning of bad luck. The soldiers suddenly became interested and wanted to keep their mouths alive to catch and play with, and some even stuffed them into their mouths and started eating.
Just as the soldiers were feeling relaxed, Liu Lian suddenly shouted, "Above your head! There are ants above your head! Be careful, everyone!"
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow filtered through the window. On the contrary, the roof was pitch black, with no visible light.
Everyone looked up at Liu Lian's reminder, but couldn't see anything.
One ceiling has too dim light, while the other person has become smaller and the distance between their eyes has also decreased. The ceiling, which was originally over 3 meters high, is equivalent to over 70 meters high for young people. When they look up, they naturally can't see anything,
Although Tom couldn't see it either, it didn't prevent him from reacting immediately. As everyone looked up, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, get in the car! Get in the car immediately!"
Obeying orders was their instinct to repeatedly train after entering the security department. After receiving orders, the soldiers rushed into the nearest car. As one of the slowest moving soldiers had just half of his body integrated into the carriage, green raindrops splashed down and landed on the soldier's shoulder.
The soldier shouted in pain, only to see white smoke rising from his shoulders, and a pungent smell filled the carriage.
Fortunately, a veteran in the car was quick witted and grabbed his arm with a small knife. He said, "Hold back!" He lifted his hand and dug out the piece of meat on his shoulder, avoiding the end of his bones being corroded.
"Damn it, what is this?" Ouyang Haotian couldn't help but ask.
"The venom of mutated ants!" Tom raised his hand and looked at the guard stained with venom. With a gentle shake, the venom shook off, leaving only a faint black mark on the alloy guard. "The venom of these ants is not as strong as I have encountered before."
On the other hand, the hair of the nearby bell immediately emitted a pungent smell when it was soaked, causing it to shake its body in a panic, shaking away the venom it had touched, and some even splashed onto the armor of the male ant next to it.
After shaking its water, a cat will have a habitual licking action. Tom immediately thought of it and held down its head to prevent it from licking its hair and poisoning, then let it run under the table to avoid being affected. Then let the armored team run to the roof, turn on the searchlight, and shoot towards the ceiling in unison.
The beam of light swept over, only to see many red figures flying up and down, which was the second level mutant ant that Tom had anticipated spraying venom.
"Oh my goodness," Liu Lian looked up from the car window, "there are so many secondary mutations, how many people will we have to eat?"
"Not necessarily cannibalistic," Tom frowned and said, "Do you remember those mutated cockroaches in the industrial station?"
Ouyang Haotian was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that what you said about the mutated offspring produced by the mutated cockroach?"
Tom nodded solemnly, "It's very likely."
