Chapter 481 Disasters Continue to Occur

Chimera ants are an insect classified as a species designated for first-level quarantine.

This creature will adopt a form of reproduction called cannibalism. The specific ability is to eat other creatures, thereby passing on the characteristics of this creature to the next generation.

During the process of feeding and mating, the chimeric ant queen, who is responsible for reproduction, will specifically select species with stronger genes.

Once it selects a species that satisfies it, it will continue to eat this species until it becomes extinct.

Therefore, feeding and mating is a very terrible way of biological reproduction.

However, because the chimera ant queen is only ten centimeters long under normal conditions, the danger of the species is within control and will not pose a threat to the current ecosystem or even humans.

Yes.

This is the norm.

The queen ant, which is only ten centimeters long, is really nothing to worry about.

but--

What if the queen is more than two meters long?

"You can also eat humans."

NGL, deep in a dense forest, Bakuer bit his thumb hard, his eyes trembled slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Next to him, more than a dozen team members including Pence, Greta, and Hurtado had similar reactions to Baku's, and they all couldn't hide their horror.

As a rising biological investigation team, they have worked very hard during this period. With their excellent ability and efficiency in completing commissions, they have given various commissioning agencies a good impression.

The results of all this are largely due to Bakuer's arrangement and dispatch, as well as intelligence integration.

So after receiving valuable witness information, Bakuer happily led his team members into the NGL autonomous region.

It is worth mentioning that information related to biological investigations is fluid and is generally shared among various commissioning agencies, and is eventually provided to a team dedicated to biological investigations.

Therefore, the biological investigation team that came to the NGL Autonomous Region was not the only team of Bakuer, but there were also five other biological investigation teams traveling with it.

but……

The Bokuer team is currently unable to contact the other five biological investigation teams, and not long ago, they encountered a chimera ant soldier ant.

Although the chimera ant soldier ant was killed without any risk in the end, a terrifying fact was placed in front of the Bakuer team.

"This kind of thing is really unimaginable, but judging from the size of that soldier ant, the queen ant is absolutely abnormal..."

Bakura raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, quickly looked around at his companions who had the same frightened faces as him, and his voice trembled slightly:

"I also hope that my judgment is wrong, but even so, you have also seen the scene of those soldier ants hunting humans. As far as this matter is concerned, it is beyond our capabilities."

"Then withdraw NGL immediately and convey this news to the outside world."

Greta suggested, her eyes full of solemnity under her sunglasses.

Peng Si controlled the many hornets who had returned without success and returned to the hat, and said in confusion: "The other investigation teams have lost contact, I'm afraid... so I also feel that I need to leave NGL as soon as possible."

NGL, this is an autonomous region that advocates natural life and abandons all mechanical civilization.

Therefore, those who want to apply for entry are not allowed to bring any mechanical equipment.

If someone is caught secretly bringing contraband into NGL, the most common penalty is the death penalty.

This shows how seriously NGL takes this rule.

Due to this rule, no one entering the country is allowed to bring communication equipment such as mobile phones and walkie-talkies.

But Pence can use the Hornets to convey simple messages, which is how they communicate with other investigation teams.

However, the appearance of many chimera ant second-generation soldier ants and the loss of contact with other investigation teams undoubtedly showed the seriousness of the situation.

The key is--

Being in NGL, they were unable to contact the outside world immediately.

This is the fundamental reason why Greta and Pence believe that NGL should be evacuated as soon as possible.

Because they already know everything about chimera ants, they can deeply understand the horror of large chimera ants.

Now, those chimeric ant soldiers are already hunting humans...

Bakuer and the others felt chills all over their bodies just by imagining the large chimera ants that mixed the genes of humans, beasts, insects, etc.

Not to mention that chimera ants are divided into hierarchies.

The chimera ant they encountered not long ago was not difficult to solve.

But that is just a soldier ant at the lowest level of the hierarchy. Above it there are army commanders, division commanders, direct bodyguards and other species that have absorbed stronger genes.

besides……

Also take into account the number of chimera ants.

No matter where you looked at it, it was warning them to leave quickly.

"Um……"

Baokuer took out a simple map and said solemnly:

"You can temporarily ignore the possibility of encountering soldier ants, and then choose a route that can reach the border the fastest."

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, as a professional fantasy beast hunter, Bakuer realized the heavy responsibility of their team.

He knew many of the properties of chimera ants.

Therefore, he knew that he had to pass on this news before the chimera ants completely grew, so that a dedicated crusade team could rush to NGL as quickly as possible, and then strangle the suspected mutated chimera ants in the cradle.

On top of this premise, he also considered the strength of the soldier ant he killed not long ago.

For their team of four Nen users, the risk they take when encountering a small-scale soldier ant is almost within an acceptable range.

So, it is natural to put speed and efficiency first.

"Anything is fine, as long as we can leave here quickly!"

A man named Benbo in the team said excitedly.

The biological investigation team consists of twelve people. Except for Bakuer, Greta, Pence, and Urtado, who are Nen users, the others are amateur hunters like Benbo who do not know Nen.

And Benbo's strength is at the bottom of the entire group, and naturally he is the least secure one.

So the strong desire to leave NGL quickly is understandable.

Bakuer looked up at Benbo and did not speak, but quickly drew a route on the simple map.

"Let's go."

After drawing the route to go, Bakuer confirmed it once, and then put away the map, with a solemn look on his slightly immature face.

Seeing that the team was about to leave NGL, Benbo and several other insecure team members barely calmed down.

Benbo took a deep breath and asked, "Which direction should we go..."

He stopped talking halfway, his face froze, and his eyes suddenly widened with confusion.

Why did he suddenly become speechless...

And why did his body suddenly feel so cold?

Confused and confused, Benbo did not realize that there was a piece missing from the back of his head, let alone the red and white things inside that were already in tatters.

The confusion in his eyes froze quietly, and the whole person fell to the ground powerlessly, turning into a corpse.

At this time -

The other people present were shocked.

Before he died, Benbo did not realize that the back of his head was attacked, but others saw a black shadow with a slightly pungent smell flashing behind Benbo, and then saw a blood arrow splashing from the back of Benbo's head.

It was an enemy attack!

As their pupils shrank sharply, Bakuer, Pence, Greta, and Urtado quickly entered combat mode, opened their pores and released the maximum amount of telekinesis attached to their bodies.

Other team members who did not understand telekinesis were shocked, but they also reacted and adjusted their positions to prepare the team for the enemy.

"What is that...?"

Pence's eyes trembled violently, and the bumblebees hidden in her hat seemed to be able to sense the owner's fear, and they came out of the hat one by one, flapping their wings and making a buzzing sound.

Greta pulled out a blowpipe made of local materials from her waist, and her eyes behind the sunglasses quickly swept in the direction where the black shadow flashed.

Then, a figure was barely reflected on his sunglasses.

"Human?"

Greta was slightly stunned, but soon saw the true face of the figure.

The other party's body shape was no different from that of a human, and he had short purple hair.

But——

There were actually a pair of animal ears standing up in the purple hair, and there was no human-related tissue on the curvy body, and there was even a tail swaying back and forth.

The most eye-catching thing was that the opponent's arm contained the biological arthropod structure of the chimera ant.

This was not a humanoid monster, but a chimera ant that had absorbed the genes of humans and cheetahs.

"!!!"

Seeing that the opponent was not a human in the true sense, Greta's right hand holding the blowpipe trembled suddenly, and a huge wave of emotion was set off in her heart.

Bakuer and the others also saw the appearance of this half-human chimera ant, and they all showed a look of shock inevitably.

"Oh no, I was going to knock him out."

The cheetah chimera ant turned around and sighed in a slightly annoyed tone.

But he stretched out his tongue and licked the blood stains on the corner of his mouth mischievously.

Hearing that this half-human chimera ant spoke the common language, Bakuer and the others were even more shocked.

This...

How is it possible? !

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they simply couldn't believe it.

Swish--

"Kidu, I saw it... What you said just now was completely aimed at the 'fresh brain'."

A tall figure stepped through the low grass and walked out, standing in the opposite direction of the cheetah chimera ant.

The cheetah chimera ant, called Kidu by the tall figure, raised his hands and casually rested them on the back of his head, curled his lips and pretended to be stupid: "Then you must have seen it wrong, I just accidentally overexerted myself."

"Hey, on their bodies..."

The tall figure ignored Kidu's pretense, but frequently looked at Pengsi, Bakuer, Greta, and Urtado, and asked in surprise: "Kidu, can you see it?"

"Yes."

Kidu also looked at Bakuer and the others, and asked curiously: "It's glowing, is that vitality?"

Hearing Kidu's words, Bakuer and the others' heartbeats suddenly accelerated.

What's the matter with these two chimera ants with human facial features! ?

They clearly only had a small amount of naturally dissipated Qi on their bodies, and they couldn't even use the minimum "entanglement", but why could they see Qi...

Bakuer felt a chill all over his body in an instant, and felt a strong sense of foreboding.

On the road a short distance away from NGL, a small truck was driving, and the wheels rolled over the ground, causing clouds of flying dust.

In the back of the truck, Kate and others were sitting.

"The chimera ant queen will continue to migrate according to her needs for places. During this period, the number of soldier ants will continue to increase to guard the nest and hunt for food."

"Once a chimera ant queen finds a site she likes to build her nest, she will give birth to a large number of construction ants in a short period of time."

"When the nest begins to take shape under the construction of builder ants, the queen's appetite will reach a peak, and then the soldier ants will leave the nest to hunt large amounts of food for the queen."

"And this sudden increase in food intake is all for the purpose of giving birth to the ant king."

"In addition, the queen will live in the nest until she dies. Before that, the queen will give birth to a new ant king every cycle."

"And the ant kings she gives birth to will split from the racial hierarchy of chimera ants, and then mate with various creatures while traveling, so that they can give birth to new queens."

"That is to say——"

"To stop the proliferation and spread of chimera ants, we must eliminate the queen before she gives birth to a king."

In the carriage, a woman with long red wavy hair was introducing various information about chimera ants to Gon and Killua.

This woman is a member of Kate's biological investigation team, named Spina. Her main responsibility is to investigate information and integrate intelligence.

Next to him, Stick, who was also a member of the biological investigation team and had an exaggerated afro, raised his index finger and took over the conversation:

"If our previous speculation is true, then as the chimera ant queen's appetite increases sharply, large-scale disappearances should occur. However, it happens to be in a place like NGL where the outflow of information is strictly prohibited, so it is difficult for us to get the exact information at the first time. news."

"NGL and mutant chimeric ants..."

Kate raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat and said in a deep voice:

"Based on the intelligence currently available, there is no worse combination than this. Just in case, I have reported the relevant information. Support will arrive soon, and our mission is to collect as much as possible intelligence."

The same biological investigation team also came into contact with information about chimera ants.

However, the Bokuer team chose to directly enter the NGL autonomous region to conduct a biological investigation.

Kate, on the other hand, prepared for the worst. She first reported the collected intelligence and the alarmist results to the association, and then rushed to NGL as a vanguard to conduct on-the-spot investigation.

The advantage of this arrangement is that——

Once he further confirms the level of danger, the association can respond as quickly as possible.

This way of coping also reflects the "experience" gap between Kate's team and Baku's team.

The van drove across the sandy road and stopped at NGL's border registration office.

Kate and others got out of the car one after another and looked at the rocky mountain forest in the distance.

Ahead——

What will happen?

"Xiaodouzi, you mean...the association already knows about the mutant chimera ants?"

Inside the temple on the top of the scenic spot, Moyu held his mobile phone with a look of surprise on his face.

The tired voice of the bean-faced man came from the other end of the phone:

"Yes, the president has already left to deal with this matter."

At this point, the bean-faced man paused, and there was hesitation in his tone: "Moyou, it's great to have you back, but... can you... come and help?"

"Help? You mean about the chimera ants?"

Moyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and without waiting for the bean-faced man to respond, he said bluntly: "I had no intention of staying out of the matter."

"No, it's something else..."

The bean-faced man said quickly.

"Um?"

"A lot of weird things have happened recently..."
