Ye Han's eyes fell on the city wall, and he said in a strange way: "We have all withdrawn, and there are still some people who don't want to leave and are hiding. No one knows how many people are left.
"There are still people living in Jingjiang?" the veteran asked in disbelief.
"Yes!" Ye Han nodded. Seeing that the veteran still wanted to speak, he immediately shook his head, "Let bygones be bygones, Huya, turn south and drive south. There is the highway not far ahead, so drive on!"
The veteran originally had a problem with his stomach, but when he heard what Ye Han said, he immediately knew that Ye Han didn't want to mention Jingjiang, so he wisely shut his mouth.
Jingjiang is the dividing line for this mission. Fuyun is responsible for reconnaissance on the west side of Jingjiang, and Yusha City is responsible for the east side.
Hu Ya agreed and drove the armored vehicle around to the south, arriving at the southern suburbs of Jingjiang City not long after.
This is the main battlefield for the fight between Jingjiang and giant ants. Although it has been almost half a month since we evacuated Jingjiang, the battlefield is still covered with scorched earth. Under the gloomy sky, large and small craters are all over the battlefield because it rained last night.
It rained for half the night, and several craters with astonishing diameters were filled with rainwater, giving the appearance of surviving a disaster.
Ye Han controlled the remote-controlled camera, and the situation around the car was clearly reproduced on the monitor.
There was not even a breath of wind on the quiet battlefield. Although the faint sound of engines continued to penetrate everyone's ears, everyone could feel the surprising tranquility on the battlefield.
The camera turned to the city wall. The insect corpses that were originally piled under the city were now half gone. They had obviously been removed by the giant ants.
Ye Han lowered his head and continued to record: No giant ants were found in the southern suburbs of Jingjiang River, and the number of ant hills was rare.
The armored vehicle crossed the battlefield and only drove a few hundred meters before finding the road. The moment the wheels hit the road, the originally swaying car body stabilized instantly. Everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison, and they were so happy that they could hardly close their mouths.
The off-road performance of this wheeled armored vehicle is very good, but no matter how strong the performance is, no matter how many wheels and no matter how good the shock absorption is, it is impossible to eliminate the bumps during off-road. The vehicle swayed left and right along the way, tossing the soldiers.
Don't don't want it.
The smooth road surface caused the speed of the armored vehicles to increase sharply, and the highway was much higher than the flat ground. The condescending position also facilitated Ye Han's statistics, and the reconnaissance efficiency immediately increased by several steps.
The strange thing is that the further south you go, the deeper you go into the ant-occupied area. It is said that as the ant-occupied area goes deeper, giant ants should be swarming all over the mountains and fields. However, the actual situation is that the number of ant hills is getting smaller and smaller, and giant ants are rarely seen.
Ye Han thinks that the reason for this situation is probably the uncontrolled overpredation of giant ants, which leads to a lack of food in the depths of the ant territory, while the food on the edge of the ant territory is relatively abundant, so the ants in the hinterland of the ant territory
The ant colony is not as large as the ant colony at the edge of the ant occupation area.
He couldn't help but think of the overturned train when evacuating Jingjiang River. The location where the train overturned was obviously deep in the ant-occupied area. The ant colony that besieged the train at that time probably grew up by devouring the villages and towns around Jingjiang River. After humans completely evacuated Jingjiang River,
, the giant ants deep in the ant-occupied area lack food and drink, and the group of giant ants is now likely to decline.
Thinking of this, Ye Han secretly decided to take a detour on the way back to see how many giant ants there were near the overturned train.
Unknowingly, several abandoned vehicles appeared on the road ahead, among which a dilapidated long-distance bus was particularly conspicuous.
Ye Han couldn't help but smile bitterly. Did he go into the ant-occupied area to investigate the situation, or did he return to Jingjiang to remember the past?
The veteran suddenly pointed at the screen and said: "Ye Pai Ye Pai, look over there, what is that!"
Ye Han took a closer look and saw that there were actually a group of black dots flying around in the upper right corner of the screen. He immediately controlled the camera to zoom in on the image. As the screen zoomed in, he gradually saw what was flying in the sky. Ye Han couldn't help but exclaimed and jumped.
He got up and hit the roof of the car with a thud, but he didn't care at all and shouted excitedly: "Flying ants, it's flying ants!"
"Ye Pai? What's wrong with you?" The veteran looked at Ye Han strangely.
Ye Han ignored him at all and shouted hysterically: "Huya Huya, get off the road and drive in the direction of the flying ants, the faster the better!"
"Okay!" Hu Ya agreed, "Ye Pai, what are we going to do?"
The armored vehicle drove straight to the side of the road, smashed through the guardrail in the middle of the road with a thud, then smashed through the guardrail on the other side of the road with a muffled thud, and rushed directly off the highway.
The broken guardrail made a harsh friction sound on the car body, but the excited soldiers selectively ignored it.
Ye Han rubbed his forehead and sat down again: "What are you doing, catching the queen ant!"
"Ah?" The soldiers exclaimed in unison, as if they had rehearsed.
The veteran's eyes widened in disbelief: "Ye Pai, are you kidding me? There are so many people who haven't even touched the queen ant's side. How can we catch the queen once we come in? Is it possible that the queen ant must preside over the flying ants when they fly to the sky?"
ceremony?"
The queen ant is a "precious ant species" designated by the institute and has extremely important research value. However, because the queen ant always hides underground and does not show up, no team has successfully captured the queen so far. The institute has issued a certificate for the queen ant.
A high reward was offered, hoping that the military could find a way to catch a few giant ant queens.
But the queen ants are hiding too well, and the soldiers don't know what the queen looks like. In addition, the military has a very heavy task of catching giant ants, so to this day, not a single queen ant has been caught.
Ye Han couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "What are you doing? I'll teach you to be a good boy. Flying ants go up to the sky to mate. Male ants die after landing, and female ants take off their wings after landing and become the queen!"
He has always been a poor man. Although he got into the system in Jingjiang, his salary was not paid once. Jingjiang was abandoned and later borrowed by Long Jianguo. He still doesn't know who to ask for salary.
.
In his eyes, the queen ant is simply a walking deposit, a living currency!
Everyone suddenly realized, and the veteran sighed: "I said, we are going to catch the bride!"
The soldiers immediately laughed and geared up one by one. Fu Xiaorui asked with a shy face: "Platoon leader, if we catch the queen ant, can we all make meritorious deeds?"
Ye Han burst out laughing: "Don't ask me about this, I don't have the right to criticize you."
Fu Xiaorui was immediately disappointed, but Ye Han changed his tone: "But I can fight for it with Longying. It's hard to say whether I can win it."
Fu Xiaorui immediately became happy again and grinned, revealing a large patch of teeth.
The veteran who had been staring at the screen suddenly shouted: "The leaves are falling, the ants are falling!"
Ye Han quickly shouted: "Huya, how far is it?"
"We'll be there soon!" Hu Ya gritted his teeth and accelerated. The speed of the armored vehicle increased rapidly, and the frequency of shaking also increased. Everyone had to hold the handles to stabilize their bodies.
