The person involved, Ye Han, was much calmer than Xiao Yuan. His promotion to the military rank was just a matter of the above sentence, but he walked on the edge of a knife and almost lost his life in the occupied area. He was only promoted to one level. He felt that he was at a loss.
.
When I told Xiao Yuan this, Xiao Yuan almost cried to death. He was trapped in the technology city and almost lost his life. Why didn't anyone promote him to a military rank? Isn't it just a matter of words?
But if you think about it carefully, saying the right words at the right time saved hundreds of comrades and provided a reference for the headquarters to formulate follow-up plans. This is really not something ordinary people can do, so Xiao Yuan thought in his heart
The unbalanced scale was balanced again.
The task of guarding the prisoners was easy. The afternoon passed by in a blink of an eye. After dark, the ant colony suddenly disappeared. The military finally ushered in a turning point and immediately devoted all its efforts to the evacuation work. People in the occupied areas were witnessing the ferocity of the boxer ants.
After that, I was extremely eager to leave, the two parties hit it off, and the evacuation went smoothly.
If the military hadn't been worried about the situation getting out of control and strictly adhered to the principle of gradual advance and gradual evacuation by block, the hundreds of thousands of people in the occupied areas would have swarmed into the streets and fled the city without hesitation.
However, the fear of boxer ants makes most people hide at home and dare not take a step out of their homes. When the military appears on the streets to completely control the situation, they rush out of their homes in large and small bags.
A broken home is worth thousands of dollars. Even though the military has repeatedly emphasized not to bring too much luggage, the vast majority of the people still go their own way. Even if the military strongly blocks it, it cannot stop the residents from taking a few extra belongings.
In this regard, the military had to take strong measures and strictly prohibited the carrying of excess luggage. There were immediate complaints in the occupied areas. However, the transportation capacity of the military organization was limited, and luggage could not be used to occupy the power and block people who were supposed to leave from the vehicle.
The military tried hard to reason, but the effect was very limited, and it wasted a lot of time, which greatly affected the evacuation progress. In the end, the military issued the strongest voice: either take less luggage, or destroy yourself!
If the arm cannot twist the thigh, the people have no room for compromise. Many people understand this, but because they cannot take away their own property, there are also many who criticize and even complain and resent the military.
It was obviously the military that broke into occupied areas and rescued a large number of people, but the result was that the antagonism between the people and the military became more serious, which is really unexpected.
Not all residents had the opportunity to evacuate their homes. As the military gradually advanced, they discovered that after some boxer ants retreated underground, they entered residents' homes along the sewers and gnawed away the unsuspecting residents.
This situation is not uncommon, and the victims are often not just a single family, but several neighboring families. The entire unit or even half the building has become a nest of boxer ants, and the number of victims is unknown.
As long as they find a house occupied by boxer ants, the military can use flamethrowers to kill all the boxer ants occupying the magpie nest. However, in that case, the speed of evacuation from the occupied area will be seriously affected. In order to evacuate the people as soon as possible,
The military can only ignore the houses occupied by boxer ants and prioritize the rescue of residents who still have hope of survival.
In the midst of the chaotic evacuation, there was also a force going upstream. This small force went deep into the occupied area and found a nest of boxing ants. They used a modified armored vehicle to catch half of the boxing ants, and then immediately
The captured boxer ants were sent to the southern suburbs of Linyi and handed over to the researchers who had just arrived.
The researchers immediately launched various experiments, using infrasound waves, microwaves, electromagnetic waves, pheromones and other methods to test the boxer ants' physiological information, and tried their best to analyze the boxer ants' physiological weaknesses.
Midnight, Beidu.
The small conference room of Director No. 1 was brightly lit. Several high-level officials were sitting on both sides of the conference table. Several large screens on the wall were showing real-time images of several different locations in Linyi City. The atmosphere was extremely dignified.
Xu Jiaye suddenly opened the door of the conference room and rushed in: "Chief, the analysis report is out!"
"What's the result?" Chief No. 1 asked calmly.
"Preliminary estimates suggest that the number of victims who died in the ant tide will reach more than 200,000."
"What? How is that possible?"
"According to the comprehensive analysis of various aspects of satellite intelligence, the ant colony currently entering Linyi City is only the vanguard of the entire ant colony. The main force of the ant colony will arrive in Linyi tomorrow, and there is not much time left for Linyi."
"What time?"
"In the morning, no later than nine o'clock in the morning."
Chief No. 1 turned to General Qiu who was standing aside: "Old Qiu, can't the evacuation speed be faster?"
"I'm afraid not." General Qiu said, "Our troops are limited and there are too many stranded residents... We originally planned to set fire to the sewers and evacuate all the people in two to three days, but now... alas!"
Chief No. 1 frowned: "How on earth did this thing get into Linyi?"
Xu Jiaye quickly replied: "According to what we know so far, these ants are very good at digging holes. The reason why the troops in the Yibei District failed to discover them in time is because these ants always stay underground."
Chief No. 1 frowned: "What do they eat?"
"Giant ants, they make a living by devouring giant ants. When the ant colony gets out of control and cannot obtain food, it rushes out of the ground to look for food." Xu Jiaye lamented, "This kind of ants probably did not appear recently, but have always been associated with giant ants.
, but we never discovered it.”
"Then why are they out now?"
"That's it. Previously, all the giant ants were controlled by us in the ant-occupied area. The boxer ants only needed to stay underground and devour the giant ants. In the past few days, the giant ants lost control and a large number of giant ants escaped from the military's control. It is probably due to this.
There is a shortage of food for the boxer ants. Some experts there believe that the ants entered Linyi because they were attracted by the giant cockroaches underground in Linyi."
"It's a good thing that the giant cockroaches are gone, but these ants are more difficult to deal with than cockroaches," Chief No. 1 said.
"Yes." Xu Jiaye agreed, "A conservative estimate is that the number of boxer ants in Linyi City is no less than one hundred thousand. They have completely occupied the underground drainage system. It is estimated that the giant cockroaches in the sewer have been eaten by the boxer ants.
Giant cockroaches provide sufficient food for the ant colony, and it won't be long before the ant colony becomes even larger."
Chief No. 1 sighed longly: "Lao Qiu, can't the army destroy them?"
General Qiu shook his head in shame: "Boxer ants and giant ants are not the same thing. The methods currently available only work on giant ants and are of no use to boxer ants."
"What about heavy weapons? Including nuclear weapons."
