Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

Under the dappled sunlight, the red even shimmered with a certain flowing luster, like a piece of red silk wrinkled by the wind.

"It's fruit! Brother Fan didn't lie!" Xiaoqin exclaimed in surprise, quickening her pace and overtaking Lili to take the lead.

Lily quickened her pace as well.

The soil beneath her feet became increasingly loose, and as her boots sank in, she could feel that the soil beneath was hollow.

But she couldn't care less about anything else.

Only one thought was in my mind:

Rob.

First come, first served; whoever picks the most gets the most credit.

She pushed aside the last clump of bushes, and her view suddenly opened up.

A vacant lot, covering an area of ​​at least thirty square meters, came into view.

Then, she saw clearly what that "red" color actually was.

It is not a fruit.

It is a living, flowing red carpet composed of millions of individual organisms.

Mutant red imported fire ants.

Each ant is three times the size of an ordinary ant, almost the size of a plump soybean.

The entire open space was a giant anthill.

The countless tiny holes on the ground are the entrances and exits to the underground ant nest.

Xiaoqin, who was at the very front, had already placed her right foot on the loose soil surrounding the anthill.

The antennae of a scout ant touched her bare ankle.

The chemical signal is transmitted within 0.3 seconds.

next second.

"Ahhh!"

A bloodcurdling scream, so piercing it seemed inhuman, rang out.

It's not the kind of thing you get when you're hit by a rock.

It's not the kind of cut you get from a knife.

It was a scream squeezed from the very marrow of the bones, a scream filled with despair and extreme pain.

Tens of thousands of mutated red imported fire ants spewed out of the cave beneath their feet.

Not just a few scattered ones.

It was a red wave that surged out from every hole under Xiaoqin's feet at the same time, climbing up her feet, ankles, and calves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The moment each fire ant bites, a tiny white dot appears on the skin's surface, which then swells into a pustule the size of a soybean within seconds.

Not one.

There are dozens, even hundreds, appearing at the same time.

Xiaoqin looked down at her legs, and her entire calf was no longer recognizable as its original skin color.

A dense, layered mass of red insects clung to her skin.

Each fire ant's mandibles are deeply embedded in its flesh, tearing and injecting venom with frenzied force.

Xiaoqin's nervous system completely collapsed.

Her legs felt as if all the bones had been removed from her knees, and she knelt directly in the center of the anthill.

The moment he knelt down, his hands braced against the ground.

Her palm landed precisely on the exit of another anthill.

Ants swarmed out from between her fingers and frantically climbed up her arm.

"Ah! Ahhhhh! No... my hand..."

Xiaoqin frantically flailed her arms, but the fire ant's jaws had a biting force far exceeding the limits of her skin; she couldn't shake it off or tear it off.

She frantically scratched with her other hand, breaking the nails of all ten fingers in the frantic scratching, leaving a sticky mess of blood and ant fluid.

But the ant colony doesn't care about blood at all.

Blood is a symptom for them.

More ants swarmed in from all directions.

Xiaoqin's lips began to swell at a visible rate in the fifth second.

Her originally thin lips swelled to three times their normal thickness, as if they had been injected with an excessive amount of hyaluronic acid, and the surface was a sickly purplish-red.

Her throat was constricting rapidly.

Each breath felt like a leak, "hiss~ hiss~"

In the twentieth second, large patches of red papules appeared all over her body.

The thirtieth second.

Xiaoqin's eyes suddenly rolled back, and she fell backward, landing squarely in the center of the anthill.

The moment he fell.

A red wave surged in from all directions, covering her entire body with a thick, constantly writhing living blanket in less than two seconds.

She is not dead yet.

It's still convulsing.

But it could no longer make any sound.

Lily stood three meters away and witnessed the entire process of Xiaoqin going from standing to falling down.

The entire process takes no more than half a minute.

Her brain completely shut down in those half a minute.

Until a scout ant crawled onto the back of her own foot.

"Tch~"

A burning sensation came from the back of my foot.

Lily looked down and saw three mutated red fire ants crawling up her feet.

The first one had already bitten through the skin on the back of her foot. A wound the size of a pinhead was swelling rapidly, and the surrounding skin was blistering as if it had been doused with boiling oil.

"No……!"

Lily desperately lifted her leg, turned around, and ran.

But with each step she took on the loose soil, she crushed several anthill exits beneath her feet.

Fire ants surged out of the trampled hole, faster than she could run.

She ran less than five steps.

His right foot stepped into the main passage of an anthill, about the size of a fist.

His entire leg sank right up to his knee.

Ants swarming out of the underground anthill crawled straight up from the heels.

The fire ants attacked like they'd found a gold mine, biting and stinging relentlessly.

Lily's screams changed tone.

The screams turned into howls, and the howls turned into sobs.

The entire lower leg, from the knee down, was covered in red worms. They weren't just lying on the surface; they were embedded in the flesh.

Lily's pupils contracted sharply.

Anaphylactic shock occurred precisely at the eighth second.

Her lips, eyelids, and ears began to swell simultaneously. Her face became distorted and deformed; her once carefully maintained features were transformed by the toxins into a horrifying, almost unrecognizable swollen mask.

The trachea is completely closed.

Lily collapsed.

Her hands were still in the position of tearing at her trouser leg, her ten fingers curled up like chicken claws, and her fingernails were full of bits of skin and flesh that she had picked off herself.

Xiao Liu ran away.

She was the fastest to react among the five.

The instant Lily and Xiaoqin fell, she didn't hesitate for a second, turned around and ran wildly back the way she came.

She ran about eight meters.

eight meters.

In civilized society, this distance can be crossed in just two steps.

At the edge of this anthill, eight meters is the dividing line between life and death.

But she didn't run over.

He tripped over an aerial root covered by decaying leaves and fell face-first to the ground.

The spot where she lay down was directly above another branch of the anthill.

Fire ants burrowed into her collar, cuffs, trouser hems, and all the gaps between her clothes and skin.

Then it goes in through the nostril.

It enters through the ear canal.

It pierced through the gaping mouth that screamed in agony.

Ants blocked her mouth and throat.

Her body arched violently on the ground, her limbs frantically digging at the decaying leaves and loose soil.

His fingers dug into the mud, twisting his joints to an abnormal angle.

Then, it froze.

The two male employees collapsed almost simultaneously.

They didn't even have the eight-meter escape distance that Xiao Liu had.

One of them stepped on the anthill in the instant he turned around, and his leg sank directly into the loose soil.

Another swarm of ants began to climb up from his ankles. He reached out to swat them, and the moment his palm touched it, more than twenty fire ants bit his palm at the same time.

He then saw Lin Fan watching them as if it were a show, and he realized that Lin Fan had done it on purpose, deliberately leading them here.

"Lin Fan... I'll haunt you even as a ghost..."
