Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 129 Metal Manipulation
Although Xinghuo lost two people, its combat effectiveness is still there. If it does not find a way to get rid of the culprit Triangle Eyes, it will still be impossible to change the final outcome of the battle.

In the face of tens of thousands of ants, human power is so small that it can be ignored.

Fortunately, Triangle Eyes is still unable to command the ant colony as it pleases. It seems that he must use his own pheromones to indirectly control the ant colony.

For example, they marked Lu Yuning as prey and themselves as protected, and the ant colony organized its own actions through different pheromones.

Therefore, the ant colony cannot automatically search for enemies, and when the main target is not captured, the ant colony seems to ignore other people. This is why other people in the shelter can survive until now.

At this time, the remaining two members of Xinghuo were standing about two to three meters away from the shelter, which was almost the limit of their vision.

The ant colony split into three parts, one group surrounded Xinghuo and the other, using them as protection.

The other part is wrapped around the trunk of the shelter, seemingly using the roots of the trunk as protection.

This is a method used by Triangle Eyes to control the ant colony.

In this way, as long as someone appears near the bottom of the tree trunk, they will immediately be regarded as an invader by the ant colony and will be surrounded.

The last part followed Lu Yuning and ran away. Those who followed were all larger in size and moved very fast.

"Xinyue, have they moved?"

At this time, above the sniper platform, Wu Xiao thought for a long time, and finally asked Zhang Xinyue in the tower.

"No, do we need to snipe them again? It's useless, right?"

Zhang Xinyue was a little confused.

They had tried many times, and long-range sniping was ineffective against the people of Xinghuo. However, Lu Yuning had now been driven away by the ant colony and was now somewhat helpless.

When she heard Wu Xiao's question, she sounded a little anxious.

"Can you help me calculate the angle?" Wu Xiao asked.

"Ok?"

"The route needs to be one to two meters above their heads. As for the weight... based on the thermite bomb plus the average human weight, that should be enough."

Wu Xiao told Zhang Xinyue about the initial parameters.

Zhang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Are you trying to eject yourself?!"

Zhang Xinyue's voice was a little excited.

"Hmm...it seems like this is the only way for now."

"No, it's too dangerous! And the caliber of the catapult isn't enough, right?"

"No need for a catapult, just use the iron potential energy block." Wu Xiao seemed to have thought it through long ago and expressed his idea.

"...Even then you'll get hurt. Not to mention the impact of the potential energy block, the bomb is very hot in the air, and you have to avoid the splash of the bomb... No way!"

Zhang Xinyue became more and more frightened as she spoke, and finally she directly rejected it.

"There is no other way. I don't know how long Yu Ning can hold on. There is no movement from Liu Rui. We have to do something. There is danger, but it depends on how accurate your calculation is. If the distance is just right, I might be able to avoid the splash of the bomb. I have an insulated bomb made by Sister Qian," Wu Xiao explained.

He added: "As long as the person is not dead, Lele should be able to be saved..."

Wu Xiao was obviously also very scared, mainly because he was afraid of the pain.

But he couldn't just sit there and wait for death now.

"Even if I calculate the initial conditions, it would be difficult for you to achieve them, right?"

"I can only adjust it roughly by projectile."

“This is no different from Meng.”

"."

A few minutes later.

Starfire and the other one standing below the shelter looked wary.

Although the ant colony had protected them, they still didn't dare to be careless when they thought of Lu Yuning's sudden appearance just now.

Moreover, the red-haired man had run away for a long time and had not come back yet. The two of them couldn't help but feel worried again.

"This guy hasn't come back yet." Triangle Eyes looked towards the forest area with an anxious look on his face.

"What should we do now? Should we run away first?" The wretched man hesitated.

There were four of them when they came, and their strengths were well known. In addition, they were wearing armor and were protected by the ant colony, so I thought it was just a formality.

Unexpectedly, the bald man was killed right under his nose. Now the red-haired man hasn't come back for a long time, and the wretched man has already begun to think about backing out.

"It's hard to explain if we go back now. So many people died and the person hasn't been caught. Do you think the president will feed us to death?" The man with triangular eyes shuddered involuntarily in the middle of his words.

"Then now"

Triangle Eyes gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a little longer. That guy has been driven away by the ant colony. I don't believe they can come up with any more tricks."

Seeing him say this, the wretched man didn't know what to say and could only be alert and stay on guard.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.

A thermite bomb exploded among the ants at the base of the tree.

At the center of the explosion, countless ants curled up instantly and were scalded to death.

"Are these guys attacking ants?"

Immediately afterwards, the second explosion was heard, landing in a different location, and two gaps were immediately blown open in the ant colony under the tree.

"Oh no, are they trying to open a gap and run away?" Triangle Eyes was shocked and confused by the scene in front of him.

The two men's attention was drawn over and they looked in the direction of the tree trunk with some confusion on their faces.

Just as the two were distracted, a figure quickly passed by about two meters above their heads.

It was Wu Xiao.

He was holding a thermite bomb in his hand, his face pale at this moment, obviously frightened by the height under his feet, but his expression did suddenly brighten with joy.

"I see you guys," he murmured.

Then the bomb in his hand disappeared, and he appeared next to the two figures below.

Since Wu Xiao was doing parabolic motion in the air at this time, the speed was very fast, and the bomb in his hand was retained at a very fast speed after being transferred out.

The wretched man below was attracted by the bombardment under the tree trunk, and was hit by the bomb before he even reacted.

Because the bomb was too close to him, even though he was wearing armor made of unknown plant materials, some of the large amount of aluminum slag that was splashed out at that moment still hit his face.

Before he could even scream, he was scalded to death on the spot.

Unlike the wretched man, before the bomb fell, Triangle Eyes' body was wrapped in several pieces of wooden materials, which were made by the wretched man to protect him.

During the explosion, these shields blocked most of the aluminum slag, and combined with the armor on his body, they ultimately allowed him to survive.

But after two people were killed in succession, the man with triangular eyes finally lost his fighting spirit completely.

All his teammates were not here at this time, and even with the protection of the ant colony, he was still just a lamb to be slaughtered.

Without thinking, he ran away, and the ants around him moved around him.

Wu Xiao screamed in the air and landed in the grass and muddy ground. He felt his limbs in fear and finally found that he was not injured. He felt relieved.

Although falling from a height of five meters still looks a bit scary, in fact, their weight is very light after they are shrunk, and the resistance people encounter in the air is very large.

So falling from a height will not cause much damage.

Imagine an ant falling from a high altitude. No matter how high it is, it will not feel any pain when it lands on the ground.

Of course, ants are lighter in weight and their shells are very hard, which humans cannot compare to.

But in the end it won't be that different.

Moreover, Wu Xiao's ejection direction was near the grass, where the ground was softer and easier to cushion.

These were the catapulting routes that he and Zhang Xinyue had discussed before.

After Zhang Xinyue's calculations, she gave an approximate ejection angle.

However, if Wu Xiao wants to meet the qualified initial conditions, he can only rely on himself to make adjustments, which requires some guesswork.

In the end, we can only say that they were lucky. Wu Xiao's ejection route in the air was just right, and the landing point was also spot on.

The bombs at the beginning were naturally intended to attract the attention of the two.

The whole plan went very smoothly, but the result was unsatisfactory. Although the triangular-eyed bodyguard was blown to death, he himself still escaped.

At this time, Triangle Eyes led a group of ants to escape into the distance. The number of ants near the shelter became smaller but they still did not disperse.

Triangle Eyes was frightened and fled with the ant colony. His face was gloomy and he muttered to himself: "As long as I am here, the pheromone will never disappear. Let's see who will starve to death first, you or the ants."

"I can't go back to Xinghuo now. If I go back, I'll probably be eaten by that ghost thing."

"Why don't you just join Fuxing? My special ability should be very appealing to them."

"But, these guys are a bit perverted. Oh, what a fucking bad luck."

Triangle Eyes kept talking to himself along the way, and seemed to be worried about his future, looking a little irritable.

He jogged quickly to the fork in the road, then was suddenly stunned.

"Huh? There's an ant colony here too?"

The man with triangular eyes looked at the trash can in front of him with an incredible look on his face.

At this time, the trash can was covered with ants, and large bow-backed ants were moving in and out of the holes below from time to time, as if they had made their home here.

Triangle Eyes thought for a long time and then looked strange.

"Did that guy die here?" he muttered to himself.

What he was talking about was naturally Lu Yuning who was chased out by the ant colony.

But he really guessed it right. At this moment, Lu Yuning was sitting in an empty can in the trash can with a depressed look on his face.

He had sealed the mouth of the can, and there were a few small holes on the bottle for light to let in.

After Lu Yuning was chased out by the ant colony, he wanted to turn back, but there were too many ants behind him and there was no place to stand.

He had no choice but to continue running forward, and finally gritted his teeth and prepared to run to the pavilion to ask Xu Qi for help.

Although it's a bit ugly, I can't care about it now.

So he ran while making a spring out of materials to speed up.

However, he didn't expect that before he could reach the pavilion, he had used up all the materials on him.

At this time, he happened to run to a fork in the road, and had no choice but to grit his teeth and hide in the trash can.

However, all the mineral water bottles in here had been taken away by them, so they had to hide in the cans.

The ant colony behind him was approaching quickly, and in the moment of crisis, the potential in his body seemed to awaken again. Finally, at the last moment of life and death, he actually unlocked the ability to control metal objects.

Only at the last moment did he manage to seal the can tightly.

This can is safe enough.

However, the material of cans cannot be used to make springs.

After thinking about it, he decided that he could make a hole in the bottom of the can and get out, digging through the trash can at the same time.

But if you don’t have enough materials to make it after you go out, you will still be surrounded by ants.

In the end, he could only sit in the can feeling a little depressed.

Lu Yuning sighed, stood up, and looked outside through the small light hole.

Then he looked incredible, and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Through the small hole, he actually saw a figure peeking out. It was none other than the man with triangular eyes who climbed up to check the situation.

"Fuck, you're not dead!?"

"It's you?"

Both of them yelled at the same time.

The moment Triangle Eyes saw Lu Yuning, his legs immediately went weak and he took a step back. He forgot that he was standing on the edge of the trash can at that moment, and when he took a step back, he missed a step and fell directly down.

Without thinking, Lu Yuning put his hands under his feet. With a thought, the shell of the can under his feet quickly decomposed, followed by the shell of the trash can.

Soon he dug a hole for people to pass through.

He didn't dare to hesitate and jumped down from the cave, then quickly ran towards the direction where Triangle Eyes had just fallen.

After he jumped out of the trash can, the ants surrounding the trash can went crazy again and continued to chase him.

Lu Yuning didn't dare to look back, but quickly looked for the triangular eyes and soon found his figure surrounded by a circle of ants.

After the two of them looked at each other just now, Lu Yuning already had a rough idea of what was going on.

Seeing that he looked a little panicked, it was likely that the shelter had already won and this guy had escaped after being defeated.

And he should be the only one there. Of course, this was just Lu Yuning's instant guess.

But in the end, even if he guessed wrong, Lu Yuning accepted it. This was his last chance, and with his personality, he would naturally not miss it.

That's why he chased out decisively. After seeing that only Triangle Eyes was there, he was completely relieved.

He had some high-density polyethylene material in his hand that he had just dug out. This material was a bit too hard and not suitable for making springs. He had already thought about this.

At this time, the distance between the two was less than half a meter. Lu Yuning jumped with all his strength, and then his supernatural power unfolded, and the material in his hand quickly turned into a stick.

He held the stick in the air and smashed it straight towards Triangle Eyes.

The entire colony of ants surrounded the two of them, tightly packed around them, waiting to tear Lu Yuning to pieces as soon as he fell.

The man with triangular eyes below was so frightened when he saw Lu Yuning rising from the pole and leaping towards him that he was about to turn around and run away, but was tripped and fell to the ground by the ants that surrounded him.

"Get away, you idiots!" he shouted hysterically at the dark swarm of ants.

Lu Yuning hit him accurately, and then slapped the last bit of aluminum material in his hand on himself.

Mental power surged wildly, and the aluminum material expanded rapidly, eventually wrapping up the two of them at the same time.

The ants swarmed over and submerged the two of them.
