The violinist's eyes widened in horror: "You two don't want to tell me that these people have been eaten by ants, right?"
"I don't know." Ye Han shook his head, "It was very chaotic at that time. Many people died. No one knows how many people stayed in the city. It got cold not long after I left Linyi. Maybe there are still many people in the city now.
People live.”
Thinking of the skeletons all over the streets when they were evacuated from Linyi, Ye Han couldn't help but feel sad: "Didn't you read the bulletin? The situation in Linyi should have been reported."
"I've seen it, but it didn't mention how many people died. It just said that people kept escaping from the city." The violinist said.
"No way? The garrison hasn't withdrawn yet?" Ye Han was surprised.
"We have already evacuated to the border. Now there are only a few reception desks left there. If someone escapes from the city, they can contact the military at the reception desk," the violinist said.
"Why don't we contact the reception desk? They might know something about the situation." Ding Mo suggested.
The piano master looked at Ye Han: "What do you think?"
Ye Han said: "It depends on the need. Let's go to the north of Linyi first and take a look. If I remember correctly, that is where both giant ants and boxer ants have been. If there is an ant nest, we will go down and have a look. We won't think of anything else."
In the ice and snow, the armored vehicle could not drive very fast. Although it was on the road after a while, the northern part of Linzhou had long been abandoned by Beidu. The snow on the road was no less than that in the wild. Even if the armored vehicle had a high weight and a low center of gravity, it could not let go.
I drove at a high speed, and as a result, I drove at a slow speed for more than an hour for a distance of dozens of kilometers. By the time I arrived at Linyi, it was completely dark.
The armored vehicle entered the city from the west side of Linyi and turned to the north of the city along the outer ring. The musician turned the camera on the armored vehicle to the dark urban area. Not even a trace of light could be seen. The armored vehicle's headlights seemed to be the only light in the world.
Linyi in the past can't be said to be a city that never sleeps, at least it was brightly lit all night long. Now Linyi is shrouded in darkness just after nightfall. The tall buildings are like the background of a ghost story, and they can turn into ghosts and pounce at any time.
, the originally spacious streets were filled with snow, covering all the corpses and ruins on the road under the snow layer.
Seeing the tall buildings in the dark, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of Linyi in the past, but everything in front of you is cold and cold, chilling people to the bone.
The musician silently turned the camera back to the front, his mood extremely bad: "A good city was destroyed by ants..."
Ye Han tore open the outer packaging of the compressed biscuit and chewed some of it, and said vaguely: "I don't know how many times it has been bombarded by artillery. It still looks like a city at night. During the day, there are ruins everywhere, just like in the movie."
Like Stalingrad.”
"Can we discuss something else?" Ding Mo said suddenly, "I have no other intention, I just don't want to hear these sad stories."
The violinist sighed: "Eat first, we won't have time in a while."
A few people filled their bellies with cold water and compressed biscuits. The armored vehicle had already driven to the north of Linyi. The originally slow armored vehicle slowly stopped and happened to be lying in the middle of the road. Its bright car lights shone on the snow on the roadside.
A small piece of anthill fell into everyone's eyes.
"Is this an anthill?" Luo Mingyu asked uncertainly.
The anthills covered by snow looked more like a cemetery. Luo Mingyu was really not sure what the area in front of him was.
"We'll find out if we go down and see. Get ready."
Xiao Yuan immediately opened the rear door, and a cold night wind swept into the car instantly. Even everyone wearing heavy cotton clothes was alerted by the cold air.
Several people quickly jumped out of the car, dispersed to both sides of the armored vehicle, unbuttoned their clothes and pants to solve personal problems. Half a minute later, everyone returned to the vehicle, took off their bulky cotton clothes, and sat in the open power armor wearing only a close-fitting jumpsuit.
The armor automatically closed, and four murderous powered armors left the armored vehicle fully armed.
After wading through knee-deep snow for more than thirty meters, everyone walked to the hillocks. Xiao Yuan couldn't wait to jump on a hillock and shouted excitedly: "There is a hole, it's an anthill!"
Ye Han immediately said: "I'll go down and leave one person above to take care of me. The others will go back to the car and wait."
"I'll go down!" Xiao Yuan rushed to say, "This cave is different, there must be something discovered!"
Several people were startled at the same time, and stepped onto the anthill in unison. When they looked down, they found something different.
The entrances to the previous two ant nests were covered with snow and the entrances were filled with mud. However, the wall inside the entrance to this ant nest was covered with a palm-thick layer of hoarfrost, and the hole could still be vaguely seen.
There was a hint of white air inside.
"I'll do it!" The violinist refused to say anything and jumped into the hole with the box containing the mechanical spider. His arms and legs spread out and scraped a thick layer of frost off the wall of the cave.
"Damn!" Suddenly hearing the violinist's voice, Ye Han quickly asked: "What's going on?"
"The sewer, below is the sewer!" said the violinist.
"The sewers are right. Giant ants like sewers the most!" Ye Han immediately became excited, "Is there a sewage treatment plant or something nearby?"
This is outside the outer ring. No matter how good Linyi's municipal planning is, they will not lay sewer pipes outside the city for no reason.
"Whatever, you can have whatever you want," the violinist said, "The key is what should we do, look for it in the sewer?"
"Let's look for it first... I'd better go down and have a look." After saying that, Ye Han lightly jumped into the ant hole, supported the wall of the hole with his hands and feet, and slid all the way through the flying frost. After about ten meters, he landed.
Enter the circular sewer pipe.
The height of the pipe is about two meters. Excluding the sewage at the bottom, the remaining height is about 1.5 meters. If you want to get in, you have to bend down.
The sewage underfoot had long been frozen, and reflected a strange color under the light of the headlight. Just one glance reminded Ye Han of the smelly drainage ditch near his home when he was a child.
The violinist had already taken out the mechanical spider and said without raising his head: "Do you think you can find boxer ants in this damn place?"
"How will you know if you don't try." Ye Han glanced at the compass and after confirming the direction, he said, "Look in the direction of the city. If boxer ants build nests in the city, they must be connected to the drainage system."
The city's underground drainage pipelines are themselves larger and more complex underground building systems than ant nests, and are highly likely to be exploited by boxer ants.
"Then why don't you just go to the city to look for it?" The violinist stood up and clapped his hands. The mechanical spider suddenly stood up, moved its metal limbs and crawled into the dark sewer.
"If we don't find anything here, it's not too late to enter the city." Ye Han said.
He wouldn't admit it even if he beat him to death. The real reason was that he didn't want to enter Linyi at night. It wasn't that Ye Han was afraid of anything, it was just that he simply didn't want to see the corpses all over the streets.
