Although they had only known each other for two days and were still competitors, they were comrades after all. They had eaten together in the morning, but there were two less at noon, and everyone felt pretty bad about it.

Liu Xia Lian asked: "Master, what's going on?"

"We were a group of nine people driving two open jeeps and attacking towards the north. We used the same tactics as yesterday, wrapping the bomb in a lamb leg and slowly pulling it with the jeep to attract the big bugs. The first one was quite successful. It took the bait and exploded in one go."

"And then, why are there two fewer people?"

"The soldiers were very happy and wanted to catch a second one. But the second one didn't take the bait and flipped the roof of the jeep over. Four soldiers fell on the grass and were eaten by the big bug. We had no choice but to return."

When Liu Xia Lian heard this, she became furious.

"A few little bugs dared to eat our soldiers. Brothers, can we tolerate this?"

Everyone shouted: "This must not be tolerated."

Arya waved the spear in her hand and said, "Beat the shit out of them."

Liu Xialian said, "Don't eat yet. Go kill the bugs first and get the bodies of our two comrades out. No matter what, we can't let them be eaten by bugs."

Platoon leader Zhang led three soldiers in a car to lead the way, and Liu Xialian led the team to follow closely behind, heading north. Ten miles outside the base, there was a green grassland with low grass only about one foot high. They soon found the two battlefields just now. The first was where the big bug was blown to death, and the second was where the big bug ate two comrades.

But Liu Xia Lian looked around and couldn't find the bug. There was no bug nearby. Her eyes' perspective had improved recently, so there was no problem of not being able to see clearly.

He first searched in the northeast direction but didn't find it. Then he searched in the north direction but still didn't find it. He stepped on the accelerator and searched in the northwest direction. He soon found a big insect resting motionlessly underground.

The characteristic of spearing insects is that the moment they come out, the spear is thrust out and penetrates the ant lion's head, which means success. Of course, this method looks dangerous, but it is not safe at all. It requires a real warrior to do it. The whole team is Liu Xialian and Daya.

Liu Xia Lian stuck a spear into the ground and hit the stick back and forth with the other spear.

Xu Xiong said in the car: "It looks familiar. Isn't this the same as hitting an earthworm with a stick? It works even on such a big insect?"

Liu Xia Lian and Daya were each holding a spear and were ready. The process looked very simple, but others did not know that Liu Xia Lian could see the situation underground clearly, so they had to make deployments and arrangements in advance.

The sound waves from the iron rod made the big bug very uncomfortable, and it came towards Liu Xia Lian.

All big creatures have a problem: they can't turn. Liu Xia Lian made a gesture, and she and Daya turned quickly. The big insect rushed out of the grass, and its bloody mouth bit nothing.

"Now!" Two rebar spears stabbed out and pierced the ant lion's head.

After being injured, the ant lion became extremely violent and retreated violently, bending the 20 mm diameter rebar and tearing off half of its head, but it successfully retracted its body into the ground.

Liu Xia Lian drew the sword on her back, and with a light stroke, she took out the bead from her head.

Platoon Leader Zhang was convinced and impressed, and asked his soldiers to take shovels and start digging. The workload was quite heavy.

Liu Xialian and the others were starving, so they ate some dry food in the car. The four of them dug for more than two hours, their hands were covered with blisters, and they finally dug out the big bug.

After splitting open the belly with a machete and putting the comrade's body into a snakeskin bag, the mission was considered completed.

Platoon Leader Zhang came over and saluted Liu Xialian: "Thank you for avenging my soldiers."

"You're welcome. Although I'm not a soldier, we are comrades now. It's only natural for me to avenge my comrades. Let's go back and take care of our comrades."

After returning, the chef of the kitchen squad came over immediately and said, "The rice is still warm, and the dishes in the big pot are still hot. Come on, eat and drink. All the soldiers of the 750th Corps are indifferent to life and death. This is not a big deal. Let's eat."

The clerk was inspired to write a poem to flatter Liu Xialian: "In ancient times, Guan Yu warmed up the wine and killed Hua Xiong. Now, Liu Xialian warmed up the rice and killed the tiger."

What is all this? It's a mess. The rice is on the charcoal fire and it will stay hot all the time. The big pot of food is also hot just sitting in the pot.

But as the chef said, if you pick up this gun and eat this bowl of rice, you have to expect sacrifice, let alone them. Even Liu Xialian and the other seven people signed a life and death agreement. This is a secret operation that ordinary people don't know about. It is classified as confidential. It would be strange if there is no danger.

Life must go on and the fight must go on.

It was already six o'clock after dinner. The time zone here is different, so it was still bright. It would not be dark until around nine o'clock.

If they were not fighting, they would stay in the camp and continue to forge iron. Xu Xiong, Li Hu, and Zhao Yong, three skilled blacksmiths, were working there to forge iron spikes made of rebar. The air force base also transported mutton, bombs, rebar and other items to support the battle.

On the third day, Taoist Priest Fengyang no longer wanted to cause trouble. In fact, it was he who encouraged Platoon Leader Zhang to fight alone. He thought it was a simple task, but he did not expect that two soldiers would be killed in the battle in one go.

In the morning, Liu Xialian held a meeting: "Today we will send out three vehicles. Don't disperse and search in the northwest direction. Today we will use a new tactic. I will set a trap on the ground with a lamb leg hanging on a rebar frame. I will knock on the rebar to make a noise to drive the ant lion crazy and come out to eat the lamb leg. At this time, Platoon Leader Zhang will use the anti-aircraft machine gun to fiercely shoot at the big insect's head. I will seize the opportunity in one or two seconds to smash it to pieces."

Platoon Leader Zhang said: "Everything is subject to the arrangements."

Liu Xia Lian once again said: "Uncle Qi invited me here because I have a strong sense of perception. I can sense the direction of most dangers underground, so if you want to live, you must listen to my command. If you lose your life, what's the use of asking for money?"

Everyone said they understood.

There are a total of thirteen people and three cars dispatched today.

The first car was Zhao Yong, with Zhao Hua, Li Hu, Xu Xiong and the clerk, a total of five people. The second car was Liu Xialian, Daya, Erya and Taoist Priest Fengyang. The third car was Platoon Leader Zhang and three soldiers. Their car had the strongest firepower, with a double-fire anti-aircraft heavy machine gun mounted on it and a long bullet chain hanging from it. They used woolen rebar for such a heavy weapon.

The convoy was moving very slowly. Liu Xia Lian stood in the back seat and looked around. They had walked for more than ten miles but had not spotted any large insects. They had no choice but to turn back and walk through another grassland.

Most of the places here are very flat, but there are also places with piles of rocks. However, the giant ant lions can only live in the soil and fine sand layers. As for the rocky terrain, they almost never go there. This is why wolf packs and camel herds can exist.
