#220 - Chapter 220 Ants Begin to Cross the River

July 19, 2055, morning.

After two days of advancing, the Odontomachus ants had pushed north to the Yangtze River.

Although Yan Zhengping had been dismissed, the Special Forces Regiment directly under the Military Region Headquarters was stationed on the north side of the Changjing Bridge before the new Military Region Commander took office, and there were no problems.

The four military regions had been patrolling the Yangtze River coast according to the established plan.

Yan Fangfang had previously ordered that the Changjing Bridge be destroyed.

At this moment, the Odontomachus ant colony had been wandering along the Yangtze River, still looking for a way to cross the river.

Looking from the north bank, the Yangtze River coast had changed from the original lush green to a dark mass.

No one took it lightly because Yan Fangfang had ordered that the ants had the ability to cross the river, and everyone must be on guard.

"Look, the ants are going into the water!" someone shouted.

The officer picked up his binoculars and looked towards the south bank of the river.

Sure enough! A group of ants carried thick trees and threw them into the river.

"This is too smart!"

It was the first time they had seen ants using the buoyancy of wood to cross the river.

Although they were extremely unwilling to believe it, the fact was happening.

After a piece of wood was immersed in the water, a group of ants surrounded the wood to form a huge ant colony.

They constantly changed their formation, pushing the wood forward.

The flowing river water did not disperse them, it was amazing!

Before long, the river surface began to splash with a lot of water, and the ant colony suddenly became chaotic.

"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.

"There's something in the water!" A sharp-eyed person quickly noticed the strangeness.

"Splash ~"

Suddenly, a huge splash of water splashed on the river surface, and a blood basin mouth full of sharp teeth quickly opened and then closed.

In the blink of an eye, a group of ants crossing the river collectively disappeared from the river surface.

Everyone was stunned.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"That mouth is at least twenty meters wide, right?"

"Oh my god, the river is so dangerous!"

Everyone had a deep fear of the river.

Fortunately, they had never been in the water, otherwise, wouldn't they be eaten in minutes?

The ants on the opposite bank seemed to have not noticed the attack in the water at all, and still swarmed into the water in groups.

"Fire!" the officer shouted.

The soldiers guarding the north bank of the river began to strafe the river.

The hit ants kept falling into the water, and the thick liquid flowing out due to the injury mixed with the river water, attracting more fish.

The ants rushing in the front continued to die, which greatly slowed down the speed of the ants crossing the river.

"Good! Great!" The officer looked at the bloody scene in the river and shouted excitedly.

He didn't expect that the terrifying creatures in the river would provide such great assistance to this defensive battle.

"Regiment Commander Zhang, I've brought some people over, let them join the battle!" The person who came was Mayor Xu.

"Mayor Xu, this is a war, not a child's play, don't come here to make trouble at this time!" The officer advised.

"Regiment Commander Zhang, don't worry, the people I brought are all from the Jingmen City public security system, and they have all been trained," Mayor Xu said.

"That's not okay either! There is a shortage of ammunition now, and there is no extra weapon equipment, you can't help much," the officer said.

"We have our own weapons and equipment!" Mayor Xu said.

"What?" The officer felt that he had heard wrong.

"If you don't believe me, go and take a look!" Mayor Xu said confidently.

"Go!" The officer didn't say anything more.

"This... combat uniforms? Laser guns?" The officer was very surprised.

The Special Forces Regiment directly under the Southwest Military Region was one of the first troops to come into contact with this equipment, and they still had some knowledge.

"That's right! Huatong Chamber of Commerce just sent it over, a total of one thousand sets," Mayor Xu said with a smile.

"Good! Great! They will be under your command, and you will follow me to facilitate unified management," the officer was overjoyed.

With combat uniforms to protect them, what else is there to hesitate about? Just do it!

"Okay!" Mayor Xu readily agreed.

This is Jingmen City's business, and it is reasonable and reasonable to contribute.

"Chirp chirp chirp ~"

In an instant, red light kept flashing on the river surface.

The destructive power of the Type 2 laser gun has been greatly improved, and one shot can destroy an ant.

And it has high precision and no recoil.

Most importantly, there is no ammunition consumption, except that the energy bar needs to be charged after it is used up.

Compared with traditional guns, the advantages are already quite obvious.

"Good gun!" The officer was also envious.

With the addition of these thousand people, the ant offensive has been completely suppressed.

In half an hour, with the help of the fish in the water, countless ants died.

The dismembered ant carcasses were all over the river, constantly washing downstream.

Most of the bullets brought had been consumed, but the ants on the opposite side were still countless.

Soon, the bombers sent by the Southwest Military Region had arrived in Jingmen City, and a large number of bombs were dropped from the air, and the ground on the opposite bank had been turned over in the bombing.

The number of ants has been greatly reduced, and they have finally stopped attacking.

"We held it!"

The soldiers and security guards of the resettlement camp stood on the shore, raised their guns, and shouted happily.

But what they didn't know was that in the underground ant nest on the opposite bank, a winged ant had hatched from the egg.

Then came the second, the third...
