"Look!" Professor Qin returned the telescope to Leng Jiang. Leng Jiang raised it and took a look. Good guy, the fastest giant ant has found the corpse of the giant mantis farthest from the city wall. Two giant jaws like vices.
When I got close to a blade limb of the giant mantis corpse, I didn't see the giant jaw bite at all, but the blade limb suddenly broke off, as if an invisible knife swiped past, instantly cutting off the insect's leg.
Divided into two.
Leng Jiang put down the telescope in confusion, looked at Professor Qin, and then raised it again. The giant ant bit the triangular head of the giant mantis in half with another bite.
The giant ant bit him twice in a row, but Leng Jiang still didn't see how the giant ant bit him.
Leng Jiang put down the telescope in astonishment and asked quietly: "Professor, why didn't I see this thing's mouth move?"
Professor Qin looked solemn: "The bite of this kind of ant exceeds the speed of sound, and can reach up to twice the speed of sound. It can't be clearly captured by high-speed cameras abroad. How can it be seen clearly with the naked eye?"
Leng Jiang's eyes bulged out like frightened toads: "Isn't it possible?" He had never thought that the speed of opening and closing his mouth could be described as the speed of sound?
He subconsciously moved his mouth, but found that he could never experience the feeling of a sonic mouth.
The others also looked at Professor Qin with ghostly eyes, and Professor Qin sighed bitterly: "Mayor Leng, if ordinary ants come, Jingjiang can still defend it for a while, but now... withdraw."
As soon as the word "Withdraw" was spoken, everyone present was shocked at the same time, and everyone's eyes fell on Leng Jiang's face.
"Withdraw..." Leng Jiang asked with bitterness in his mouth, "Is it really unstoppable?"
In order to deal with the threat of giant insects, Jingjiang City has formulated more than a dozen emergency plans for possible situations, including evacuation plans.
The so-called evacuation plan is a plan implemented under the premise that Jingjiang City is very likely to be invaded by giant insects and the military is unable to protect the citizens. The specific implementation plan of the plan is also very simple - abandon Jingjiang and evacuate Jingjiang as quickly as possible.
Citizens evacuated.
Leng Jiang's face turned blue and white in turns, he held the telescope tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands were exposed, and his temples were twitching.
Give up? Or stick to it?
Looking at the whole country, Jingjiang is not the only place where insect infestations occur. Why can other places persist but he has to give up here?
He is the mayor of Jingjiang City. If he abandons this city and leaves the land here, he, the mayor, will become a mere commander. At most, he will only retain a job rank, and he will never think about power again.
It is true that he can defend himself by saying that he has no last resort, but no matter what, it is impossible for his superiors to arrange for him to take up actual positions in other cities at this juncture. Maybe his official career will end here and he will be idle at home from now on.
To withdraw? Or not to withdraw?
Deep down in Leng Jiang's heart, he was hesitating, tangled, and struggling, like a tangled mess that couldn't be untangled.
"Look!" a soldier suddenly shouted, raising his arms and pointing outside the city.
Leng Jiang became angry because of shame. Who is making such a fuss at this juncture?
But his eyes followed the raised arm and looked outside the city. Unexpectedly, he saw a giant praying mantis jumping out of the cornfield. In the cornfield behind the giant praying mantis, there were two giant praying mantises leaping high.
The height of the ant's jump is no lower than that of the giant mantis.
The jumping height of the giant mantis is much higher than the city wall, but its position is too far away from the city wall and it is impossible to cross the city wall.
The giant mantis fell to the ground with all its strength, and happened to land near two giant ants. The giant ants pushed their huge heads to the ground, and for some reason, they actually shot up seven or eight meters into the sky as if there were rockets under their heads!
Leng Jiang's face changed drastically, and his eyes were fixed on the giant ants flying in the air. His heart suddenly felt as if he had fallen to the bottom of an abyss, and it felt like he was in the cold winter with the sullen and biting north wind.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded at the same time. They had seen something that could jump, but they had never seen one that could jump so high with its head on its butt. The same question popped up in everyone's mind: How did this thing jump?
Ye Han, who was behind Professor Qin, had his eyes wide open and his mind was wide open: Could it be that this thing has a jet structure in its head, and that it can fly up to the sky like a rocket by blowing a big mouthful of air?
But are there such weird ants in the world?
Before the giant ant in the sky fell, and the giant mantis that landed on the ground had not stabilized its footing, several nearby giant ants suddenly pounced on the giant mantis at the same time as if they had made an appointment in advance.
The giant mantis panicked and jumped up again to avoid the attack. Just as it took off, a giant ant jumped behind the giant mantis like lightning and bit off its hind legs.
The jumping giant ant landed on the ground. Although the giant mantis successfully took off, the height was not satisfactory, and it quickly fell to the ground. Moreover, the giant mantis failed to choose the right direction in the panic, and actually walked back and jumped, just in time to reach a few giant ants.
Four giant ants swarmed up, and their giant jaws, which were almost as long as the ants' heads, opened and closed at supersonic speeds. The giant mantis was like a building block that had been accidentally pushed over, splitting into several large pieces in the blink of an eye.
More giant ants rushed up to take a share of the pie. In just a few breaths, the huge giant mantis was shared by the giant ants, and no trace of the giant mantis's former existence could be found.
The location of the incident was too far away from the city wall, and Ye Han could not accurately determine the size of the giant mantis. However, based on the nearby vegetation, he guessed that the length of the giant mantis was about four meters.
The body length of the black giant ant is about the same as that of the giant mantis, even if it is less than four meters, it is still 3.56 meters.
Although the number of giant ants that appeared in Ye Han's eyes was not very large, anyone who knew something about ants knew that the population of such creatures could easily reach tens of thousands. Ye Han simply could not imagine the giant ants crawling all over the mountains and plains.
What is the scene towards the city wall?
Leng Jiang silently put down the telescope and leaned towards Professor Qin: "Mr. Qin, it seems that the giant mantis was driven here by the ants. What do you think about this?"
"It's not like it seems, it's definitely!" Professor Qin pushed up his glasses, "The Black Mountain Mountains have vast virgin forests. Only the virgin forests there have enough natural resources to raise giant ants and giant mantises. And it is a national nature reserve.
There is enough space for the giant insect to hide in the area, so it is not unreasonable that it has not been exposed.”
"Why did the giant mantis escape? Isn't it good to stay in the forest?" Leng Jiang asked doubtfully.
"Maybe it's because of resources!" Professor Qin said, "These two giant insects are carnivorous insects, and they must compete with each other. Giant mantises usually move alone, while giant ants are accustomed to collective activities, so it is natural for giant ants to expel giant mantises!
"
Professor Qin's lecture was so enlightening that everyone nodded in unison as if they were suddenly enlightened. They looked at the giant ants with a sense of awe in their eyes.
