When Ye Han rushed to the bottom of the cliff, Ouyang Ping and others had climbed to a height of more than 20 meters. A soldier moved to a cave entrance and suddenly pointed at the stone wall and shouted: "Chief of Staff, there is a mark here!"
"What mark?"
"An arrow, a word "," and a word "Liu".
"Report location!"
A warrior hanging on the rock wall immediately raised his right hand.
Ye Han climbed up the rock wall using his hands and feet, and soon climbed to the side of the soldier. He saw the arrow, the character " enter", and the extremely scrawled character " Liu".
Looking further into the hole, there are many shell casings piled on the ground near the entrance of the cave, and some scattered shell casings a little further away extending into the hole.
Ye Han stepped forward and jumped into the cave: "With me as the center, everyone gathers!"
"Chief of Staff, do you have any clues?" Bi Min asked in surprise.
"Well, come here."
The soldiers quickly gathered around Ye Han. Ye Han hugged his rifle tightly and was the first to go deep into the cave: "Let's go!"
Bi Min walked a few steps closer to Ye Han and asked suspiciously: "Chief of Staff, this is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"I just looked and there were bullet casings and bullet marks, but where are the bugs? Where did the bugs go?"
The traces of the battle at the entrance of the cave are very obvious, and there are also bullet casings left all the way in the cave. But the battle is a two-sided matter. How could there be no corpses of insects?
Ye Han Ye Han said without looking back: "Ants have the habit of collecting corpses."
Bi Min was surprised: "Did wolves evolve from ants?" This guess is not a secret, but no evidence has been found.
"Don't you think wolves and ants are very similar? They live in groups, collect corpses for their companions...the two are the same, but are they all a coincidence?"
Bi Min hesitated and said, "I have never seen wolves collecting corpses before."
"That's because we killed all the wolves and insects... No, the ants move entirely by smell. The battlefield is full of gunpowder smoke. Where did you ask the insects to collect the corpses... It's also possible that all the insects were dead and the corpses were confiscated.
manpower."
Bi Min nodded silently. Although he still felt that Ye Han's conclusion was too subjective and arbitrary, he couldn't say it was unreasonable after thinking about it carefully.
But he quickly put these thoughts behind him. Soldiers are not scientists. They only need to know where the enemy is, not what the ancestors of the wolfworms are.
However, while walking, an idea suddenly broke into Bi Min's mind - Chinese giant ants, African giant ants, South American giant ants, North American termites, some of the world's most serious insect pests can all be related to ants.
The insect plague a few years ago was still a situation where all kinds of giant insects emerged one after another, and different species went hand in hand. Nowadays, those giant insects fighting alone are rare. Only giant ants are developing vigorously, and the main force of the three major insect nests are ant colonies.
The ant tribe is now the absolute main force in the insect plague. Among the known species of giant ants, only the North American termite had an unfortunate fate. It was extinct under the full suppression of the US military. The other giant ants all lived a very prosperous life.
If this trend continues, what will the future be like? Giant ants sweeping the world?
No, it won’t. At the very least, the possibility of the Chinese giant ant getting out of control is extremely small. Although it is developing well, if Beijing City hadn’t deliberately indulged it out of profit considerations, I’m afraid the Chinese giant ant would have become the number one before the American termites appeared.
A species of giant ant that was exterminated by humans.
Think about it from another perspective, the Chinese giant ant population in the country is equivalent to the biological shield of the entire country. Once the giant insects break out completely or something else happens, Beidou can cultivate Chinese giant ants in large numbers just like the insect trees.
Using technological weapons to fight against insect swarms is a standard way of killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred to oneself. However, using Chinese giant ants to fight against insect swarms is to use war to feed war...
Bi Min's thoughts were completely scattered, and he thought about a lot of useful and useless problems, plus problems that were not his turn to worry about.
The troops continued to move forward, and when they reached a fork in the road, bullet casings left over from the battle were found in both directions, and the bad feeling in Ye Han's heart became clearer.
Liu Bin only has a few men in hand, and it is absolutely impossible to divide his troops unless the situation is critical.
Ye Han was unwilling to split the reinforcements that he had finally hoped for in two, but there was no sound of gunshots on either side of the road. The number of shells was slightly different, but when it was necessary to divide the troops, more shells did not mean more people.
, it is more likely to increase the shooting frequency in order to lure away the wolves.
The consequences of dividing the troops are unpredictable. If the troops are concentrated, it is not a forked road that will be abandoned, but the soldiers in the forked road.
Ye Han hesitated again and again, feeling that he was unsure of how to divide his troops. Finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Bi Min, I will take the people to the left. You and two people will stay here until the reinforcements come and go to the right!"
"Yes!" Bi Min subconsciously agreed. After the voice came out, he realized what Ye Han was talking about and his face changed. "Chief of Staff, are there a few people? If the bug comes, three people can't stand it.
Stay!"
Ye Han was furious: "You can't stand it and you won't run away? Why don't you take someone away and I'll stay!"
Execution of orders and prohibitions is the biggest characteristic of the military. Bi Min's words are nothing in normal times, but now is the time to race against time, and any delay of one more second may cause unpredictable serious consequences.
Ye Han was burning with anxiety. After receiving the order, Bi Min not only refused to execute it, but also mentioned the conditions. How could he not make Ye Han angry?
To put it bluntly, there are basically no forks in the section from the underground lake to the fork in the road, and the possibility of encountering wolves is not high. On the contrary, the possibility of the missing person still being entangled with the wolves is extremely high. In other words, the missing person is found
It is equivalent to meeting wolves and insects. The possibility of encountering a swarm of insects is almost 100%.
Bi Min suddenly thought: "That's not what I meant. I will bring someone to stay!"
This statement is one of the common ways to express dissatisfaction to superiors in the army, and even Bi Min dared not agree to it.
Ye Han didn't have time to argue with Bi Min, so he led the team into the left fork in the road first.
Bi Min led two soldiers to guard the fork in the road, keeping his gaze on the advancing army. He did not withdraw his resentful gaze until the figure of the last soldier disappeared.
The same rice feeds all kinds of people, Ye Han never expected that a seed of resentment had already taken root and sprouted in Bi Min's heart.
Less than a minute after Ye Han left, the reinforcements led by Xiao Yuan encountered a three-person team that installed signal repeaters. After knowing that the porridge relays had been installed along the way, Xiao Yuan immediately shouted on the radio: "601, 601, received
Please answer!"
Ye Han was overjoyed when she received the message: "I am 601, please speak!"
There are two soldiers in the team who are responsible for installing repeaters. Every time they walk a certain distance, they have to take out a button-sized repeater and nail it to the wall.
Although this thing is small, the signal strength is not low. The signal transmission radius of each repeater in the cave is more than 100 meters.
