Last Totem Novel - Chapter 194
Chapter 194 Queen Ant
Next, Tie Zha walked to the open space in the middle of the camp, jumped onto the big wooden box, and looked around the camp. At this time in the camp, the Marines of the Wolf Legion were leaning against the wall of the bunker. Some were whispering, some were smoking, and some were resting with their eyes closed. The wounded soldiers of the Fireworks Legion were sitting at the side in twos and threes. Some were treating their wounds, some were in a daze with guns in their hands, and some were quietly lying on the ground, their lives unknown. The transporters gathered behind the camp and sat silently on the ground, their gazes dull.
After looking around, he retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Classmates, friends, brothers!” The loud and clear voice traveled far away, and everyone turned to look over.
“The situation is critical. The reinforcements have not arrived yet. We can’t defend this place anymore.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar, whispering to each other in twos and threes as they began to discuss. Tie Zha made a silent gesture and continued,
“I will lead the commandos to charge into the underground ant nest and destroy the Abyss Ant Queen. I need your cover.”
He paused, his firm gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces, and then slowly said, “Now, I will give all of you two choices. One is to retreat with the wounded soldiers, and the other is to cover for us to charge over.”
“But before you choose, I must make it clear that if our operation fails, the evacuees will soon be caught up by the swarm of insects.”
After saying that, Tie Zha didn’t say anything else. He just quietly looked ahead. There was silence below, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard. The choice between life and death had never been easy. After an unknown amount of time, one of the Fireworks Marines stood up with a bandage on his head. He looked around at the wounded soldiers and shouted, “There are no cowards in the Fireworks Legion! We’ll fight them!”
His words were like a storm, instantly engulfing the entire camp.
“Fireworks, there are no cowards!” “We, CSUM, have no cowards!” “Let’s fight them!” “Die to the end!” Everyone stood up and swore an oath loudly. Actually, they all knew very well in their hearts: escape! There was only one way to die, so it was better to fight with all your might. Bo Zhong was naturally good. Bo Buzhong could also bring honor and a large pension to his family. If he became a deserter, not only would his family have nothing, they might not be able to escape.
A few minutes later, the marines who were still able to move lined up and were ready to leave. Under the leadership of Mu Qianhe, the mecha squad took the lead in entering the dense forest. Before leaving, Giant Ah Mu carried a shovel and brought more than 20 transport crew members to Tie Zha. He said, “Brother Tie, give us the spears. We also need to cover you!”
Tie Zha looked at more than twenty young faces. He nodded at first, then shook his head and said, “You guys are not trained. You will die if you go. Wait for the future.” Then, he pointed and ordered in a deep voice, “Giant Ah Mu, lead the convoy and the wounded soldiers to evacuate the camp!”
“Yes!” Giant Ah Mu replied loudly. Then, he turned around and left without stopping. Just as Ju Sang had told him before coming here, “Trust Brother Tie.”
Moments later, under the command of Tie Zha, the team bypassed the swarm and headed towards the entrance of the crypt 5 km away at full speed. At this moment, the mecha squad was clearing the path ahead, and the soldiers trotted along, following behind them. Thanks to the scouting of the Soldier Ant Legion, they were safe and sound along the way, and did not encounter any substantial obstruction. Half an hour later, the troop successfully arrived near the entrance of the cave and charged towards the defending army!
In an instant, the mecha rumbled and gunshots rang out in all directions. Under the leadership of a tiger, more than thirty Thunder Flame Styles were pushed forward and crushed towards the swarm of insects. The soldiers hid behind the mecha, shooting while throwing shards of grenades at the swarm of insects. In the blink of an eye, the human army and the swarm of insects collided violently. Immediately, roars rang out and flesh flew everywhere. The sounds of killing, screaming, screaming, and wailing interweaved together. One after another, the scene was extremely tragic.
After the war, Tie Zha led the porcupine, match, and Tuoba San into the entrance of the crypt and rushed forward in the corridor. They were all wearing miner’s helmets and their guns were equipped with bright flashlights. Eight light sources swept around, illuminating the pitch-black passageway as if it was daytime. At this moment, the porcupine and the match rushed to the front. They were equipped with shotguns, and whenever they encountered the enemy, they would immediately shoot at them!
There were very few enemies in the passageway. Apart from the crypt workers, only one or two weeping flies would occasionally appear. The four of them traveled unobstructed, rushing into the depths of the corridor in more than ten minutes. There were more and more crypt workers here, crawling densely on both sides of the corridor. Looking at it, it made one’s scalp go numb. Fortunately, these workers’ bodies were smooth and translucent. Under the illumination of the miner’s lamp, they emitted a layer of milky white luster. It wasn’t too disgusting.
In order to save ammunition, Tie Zha pulled out a single-edged straight sword and rushed to the front of the line. As he ran, he swung his sword to kill the workers along the way. The workers’ bodies were extremely soft. When the blade slashed past, the translucent juice sprayed out with a faint sweet fragrance.
“I heard that this thing can be eaten.” Tuoba San was still able to think of eating at this time, and he couldn’t help but be shocked. However, no one paid any attention to him, and they only buried their heads in running wildly.
As they went deeper and deeper, the corridor became wider and wider. Not long after, the corridor suddenly opened up and they arrived at a huge underground space. Looking at the deep and dark space, Tie Zha, who was rushing at the front, slowed down and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
The three people behind him immediately stopped and looked around. At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded from the deep darkness. Everyone paused for a moment, and several rays of intense light immediately shone over. In the darkness, a ferocious triangular head appeared out of thin air!
The head was covered in sharp spikes and fine fur, and three pairs of pitch-black compound eyes were located near his forehead. He fixed his eyes and saw that the compound eyes were emitting a faint green light, becoming even more frightening in the darkness. The dazzling light source seemed to cause its dissatisfaction, and its mouth suddenly opened, revealing its sharp teeth and emitting an ear-piercing “squeak” sound.
However, in the face of these intruders, it just hissed in place and had no further action.
As more light gathered, its enormous body gradually revealed itself. Its body was the size of a long piece of bread covered in carapace, and its body was the size of three rear eight-wheeled trucks connected head to tail. Its abdomen was milky white, looking huge and full, covered with thick elytra wings. Beneath his abdomen were many tiny feet, like the hundred feet of a centipede, which made one’s scalp numb.
Its triangular head was raised high, with three pairs of insect feet growing between its chest and abdomen. Its forefoot was a pair of giant sickles. Its second pair of feet was exceptionally long, and its front end looked very sharp. Then, its third pair of feet appeared very sturdy, as if supporting the weight of the first half of its body.
All in all, it was like a termite queen covered in armor. Compared to the ordinary termite queen, its movements seemed to be more flexible. Regardless of whether it was big or small, its joints and feet were exceptionally thick. It could support the rapid movement of its enormous body, and its huge milky white abdomen was hidden under thick elytra wings. Not only did it not feel as soft as the ordinary termite queen, it felt as if it was armed to the teeth.
“Good fellow” Looking at the colossus in front of him, the porcupine couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“What are you stunned for? Fuck it!” With a loud roar from the match, he picked up his shotgun and charged forward while firing!
“Aggressive! Aggressive!” Five shells shot out in a row. Countless high-temperature iron sand landed on the insect’s body, causing sparks to splatter everywhere in an instant, causing the underground space to turn orange-red.
The porcupine and Tuoba San instantly regained their senses and surrounded them one on the left and one on the right. Tie Zha stood there, calmly putting away his sparkle and taking off his Psionic Warrior Rifle. “Kacha!” He pulled open the bolt and stuffed it into the empty bullet. Then, he picked up the gun and stored his psionic energy!
Facing the attack of the three insects, the Queen of the Abyss Ants raised her sickle and slowly twisted her body, piercing towards the one rushing at the front!
Seeing the giant sickle carrying the wind and lightning, the match rolled sideways, avoiding the chiseling attack from the tip of the sickle.
“Aggressive” He shot three times in a row, causing the Abyss Ant to take a step back.
The next second, Tuoba San and the porcupine rushed up from both sides and surrounded them while shooting.
The Abyss Ant Queen was beaten back repeatedly, and fighting was clearly not its strong point. However, just when everyone thought that the situation was clear, the queen ant suddenly let out a deafening scream. Immediately after, she raised her huge double sickles to protect her triangular head. At the same time, she moved her enormous insect body and rushed towards Tie Zha, who was not far away!
It was like a heavy truck whistling over. When it ran at full speed, it was as if the entire ground was trembling. Tie Zha charged halfway and saw the queen rushing over aggressively, quickly moving sideways. However, its speed was simply too fast. He had no choice but to give up charging and flee the crushing at full speed.
The three of them quickly turned around and chased after him. The weapons in their hands were constantly firing. However, these gunpowder bullets were unable to pierce through its elytra and could only cause minor injuries to the cracks in its shell.
While running at full speed, Tie Zha pulled out his two-barrel shotgun and loaded it as he ran. At the same time, the queen chased after him and stabbed the giant sickle into his back! Hearing the sharp sound of the air breaking, Tie Zha hurriedly rolled sideways, avoiding the chiseling attack of the sickle! Then, he turned around and shot at the joint of the sickle at close range.
“Boom!” With a loud noise, the Abyss Ant Queen raised her head high and let out an extremely painful cry.
Tie Zha took advantage of the moment it raised its head to open the cabin and stuffed two more divergent bullets into it. At this moment, the three of them rushed up and fired at the cracks in the queen ant’s body.
“Cha cha cha cha cha” Tuoba San’s gun was out of bullets. Red-eyed, he forgot to load his rifle and threw it out. He jumped forward, grabbed the edge of his elytra and climbed up!
“Third Brother, what are you doing!” Seeing this, the porcupine immediately stopped shooting and roared loudly.
Tuoba San ignored it and climbed onto the insect’s body, clinging to its back. Tie Zha turned around and quickly ran forward, pulling away from the Abyss Ant Queen.
Just as Tuoba San climbed onto the queen’s back, the match on the other side noticed something strange and hurriedly rushed towards the queen’s upper body, shooting at her head. The queen seemed to have sensed that something was climbing behind her, so she immediately raised her second pair of incomparably long legs and stabbed towards Tuoba San on her back!
The match narrowed its eyes and shot fiercely at the root of the knot.
The first knuckle was blocked by the impact and tilted to one side, while the other knuckle was stuck straight into the human behind him!
At this moment, Tuoba San barely managed to cling onto the smooth upper elytra, his hands tightly clasped onto the edge of the crack, and he didn’t notice the danger coming from above.
“Pu!” With a muffled sound, sharp knuckles pierced through his chest and nailed Tuoba San to the back of the insect!
“Third Brother!” The porcupine let out a loud roar as it picked up its gun and fiercely shot at the front of the joint.
