Chapter 314
Zhao Sicheng immediately held his breath, and the other people in the room also stopped their movements.

When the whole room fell into silence, everyone could only hear the mountain wind whistling outside the window.

Ren Yao, who was near the window, looked out at the forest through the gaps in the wooden boards: Although the blood tide had not subsided, it was only cruising within a radius of five meters, and did not approach the wooden house.

At night, there was a white mist in the forest, making it difficult to see clearly.The sound of those mutated corpses crawling on the ground and the sound of fine sandy leaves intertwined with each other. The red-eyed crow on the treetop stared coldly at the wooden house, and uttered a horrifying hoarse cry from time to time.

Dark clouds slowly covered the blood moon, as if it was in the final stages of brewing, the entire mountain forest was shrouded in darkness.

The night became more and more quiet.

An atmosphere of panic and anxiety slowly climbed into the hearts of everyone like ants.Although the danger did not appear, the people who had already experienced hundreds of battles were already ready to fight, and took up self-defense weapons one after another.

The house was not that warm at all, and the mountain wind mixed with fishy smell blew into the house through the cracks, Tang Yao subconsciously shivered, and the palm holding the military shovel was also slightly stiff because of the cold.

Just when Zhao Sicheng was about to ask Ling Yun if he heard it wrong, a burst of intermittent high-pitched sobbing suddenly broke the silence, and entered everyone's ears clearly.

The voice sounded like a woman's low sob, and it seemed to be the last struggle of life, it was extremely shrill.

"really have……"

Wei Chongming's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately pressed his ears to the wall sensitively.Sure enough, across the wooden house, he heard the creaking sound from the wall outside, which was similar to the sound of fingernails scratching the wooden board.

"The voice came from the backyard." Wei Chongming reminded everyone with his mouth, and pointed to the bedroom.

Shen Tinglan nodded, and signaled Ling Yun and Wei Chongming to go with him to check the movement.

With just one look, the others already understood his intentions: Su Li, Tang Yao, Ren Yao, and Hubert tiptoed into the kitchen, where the walls were severely damaged and easily breached, requiring key defenses; The rest of Lin Qing, Zhao Sicheng and Xiaolong continued to guard the direction of the gate.

The light bulb in the bedroom gave off dim light, and there was no abnormal noise in the bedroom.The original windows had been boarded up by Shen Tinglan and others, so it was difficult to see the scene outside.

"Brother Ling, Brother Shen, look—" Wei Chongming frowned and pointed to the wall inside the house.

At some point, a large number of ants appeared in the cracks of the wooden floor and the edges of the walls.Since there are still such insect swarms when ghosts appear in various missions, the three of them are no longer surprised.

However, when Wei Chongming saw the ants crawling onto his boots, he immediately frowned: the whole body of the ant was bright brown-red, with a slightly square head and sharp needles on the tail.

Wei Chongming is an insect photographer by profession in reality, so he immediately recognized that this is the extremely poisonous red fire ant among ants.

The poison sac of the red fire ant contains a large amount of venom, once injected into the human skin, it will immediately cause a severe burning sensation.

If a person is bitten by a red fire ant, the skin may become red, swollen and itchy in mild cases, or may cause shock or even death in severe cases.

Hearing what Wei Chongming said, Shen Tinglan immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Although the ants themselves are not very poisonous, there are too many of them, so we must stay away from them!"

Before they had time to check the movement in the backyard, seeing the ants crawling all over the bedroom wall, the three of them quickly retreated from the house.Ling Yun quickly closed the door, while Shen Tinglan and Wei Chongming warned the other teammates, and at the same time found something like cloth strips to plug the gap in the door.

But even so, everyone still couldn't stop the bugs from crawling out from the floor and wall gaps.

Dense numbers of red fire ants continued to fall down the roof, and at the same time, a large number of ant infestations also appeared in other rooms.

"Fuck, doesn't the gas stove work on these bugs!" Looking at the army of ants on the surrounding walls and floors, Hubert, who has always been refined, couldn't help but swear.

"Everyone, seal the doors and other gaps in other rooms, be careful not to touch those ants, and then all gather at the gas stove in the living room!" Ling Yun shouted his companion's name, and after hearing his voice, Ren Yao and others started to act one after another.

Although the gas furnace cannot expel the ant colony and the unknown creatures outside, if it is damaged, they will lose their last barrier.

According to Su Li's instructions, Lin Qing, Xiaolong and the others quickly tore the sheets and discarded clothes into strips, soaked them in high-concentration alcohol and used them to fill the gaps.Although it cannot kill ant colonies, ants are particularly sensitive to the smell of ethanol liquids, which can slow down the invasion of ant colonies to a certain extent.

At the same time, Tang Yao remembered that the emergency supplies in her backpack contained insect repellent provided by the military, and immediately searched for it.The bottle contained some dark green powder exuding a mint aroma. Wei Chongming smelled it after taking it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Taking advantage of the time when other companions were busy trying to stop the insect swarm, Wei Chongming quickly picked up a tin bucket and filled it with some wood for the stove.After pouring in the remaining alcohol and lighting the firewood, he sprinkled all the insect repellent powder into the fire.

In an instant, thick yellow smoke filled the entire room with the pungent smell of smoke.Everyone was choked by the smell and coughed, but fortunately there were gas masks in the bag, and everyone quickly put them on, so they felt a lot better.

"There are insect-repellent plants added here, please bear with it." Wei Chongming's dull voice came through the mask.

"It's okay, it's better than being bitten to death. By the way, I won't be poisoned, right?" Zhao Sicheng looked at the blisters on his hand bitten by the red fire ant, and complained helplessly.Not only him, but everyone's bare backs of hands and necks were more or less painted.

Fortunately, there were medicines for mosquito bites in the bag, and soon, the deworming medicine also played a role.While there was ant infestation in other rooms, the number of ants in the living room was greatly reduced.

Ten players gathered around the gas stove, listening to the constant movement of ants crawling from the ceiling and under their feet, everyone felt their scalps go numb, and their hearts felt like tens of thousands of insects were gnawing at them.

At this moment, everyone finally understands the meaning of the sentence [Before dawn, you cannot fall asleep] in the notes: Once night falls, those things lurking in the forest will become active, and only when dawn will the danger disappear temporarily.

The only light bulb in the living room had already been gnawed by ants, and it fell to the ground unexpectedly.Fortunately, there was a gas stove in the dark living room to illuminate the surroundings. At the same time, Ling Yun heard the whimpering outside the house becoming more and more clear.

In the originally deathly quiet forest, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the smell of blood in the wind became more and more intense. A woman's mournful sobbing could be heard everywhere, and the scalp of the person who heard the sound was numb, as if there were countless pairs of venomous eyes in the darkness. Staring at them.

Now the blood tide outside the house made them have no other way out, but in the house, apart from the ants, Zhao Sicheng clearly felt the existence of other things.

"It seems that these ants are just an appetizer... There are more fierce 'good brothers' coming." Zhao Sicheng squeezed out a sentence through his teeth with a half-smile.

Although he temporarily lost his ability, Zhao Sicheng's passive inspiration has not been deprived.The moment the light bulb went out, he caught a creepy aura coming from the direction of the bedroom.

And that thing was continuously emitting terrifying cries, and quickly approached the position where everyone in the living room was.
