Chapter 1103 The Vigilant Ant-Man
Chapter 1103 The Vigilant Ant-Man
"Amelia, I told you before, it's precisely because of your cowardly nature that your superpowers haven't been fully realized." Hearing the brown-haired girl's words, Ant-Man shook his head and scolded her with a look of disappointment.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ant-Man gently pressed his full-face helmet, and a soft buzzing sound began to emanate from it, then traveled further and further away.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" With Ant-Man's movements, a series of dense sounds of breaking ground began to emanate from the depths of the ground where everyone was.
Then, small mounds suddenly appeared on the ground, and reddish-brown ants, about two centimeters long, began to gush out from the tops of those mounds like fountains, then surged towards the zombies.
"My darlings, it's time for you to eat!"
Looking at the seemingly endless giant man-eating ants, Ant-Man smiled slightly and said to the several horrified evolved humans beside him, "See? This is the power of combining science and superpowers. My talent for mind control is very weak, so weak that I can only control ants. But so what? After my modifications, my children can still defeat the most powerful monsters in the world."
"Puff puff……"
Accompanied by the dense, soft rustling of ants crawling on the ground, a large number of man-eating ants, like a reddish-brown tide, surged continuously onto the zombies.
Then, fist-sized ants opened their large, black, gleaming mouths and began tearing off pieces of the zombie's rotting flesh, devouring them greedily.
Moreover, these giant man-eating ants are indiscriminate in their consumption of both meat and vegetables. They devour everything from the rotting flesh of zombies to their gradually decaying bones.
In less than ten seconds, the dozen or so zombies at the forefront of the horde were completely devoured by a large number of cannibalistic ants.
At this moment, the man-eating ants continued to spew forth from the mounds on the ground, threatening to engulf the entire swarm of corpses.
"This is really troublesome. The information didn't mention that Ant-Man is surrounded by so many man-eating ants..."
Looking at the ant swarm that almost covered the entire street, Qin Zhong frowned slightly. Just based on these nearly endless man-eating ants, the danger posed by the Ant-Man far exceeded what was described in the data.
It seems that Qin Chong's idea of capturing Ant-Man alive and taking him back to be devoured by the giant eye is a bit unreliable.
"No! No matter how strong Ant-Man's mental power is, he couldn't possibly control tens of thousands of man-eating ants!"
Just as Qin Zhong was considering whether to go back and bring Giant Eyes to deal with Ant-Man, a small action Ant-Man took before summoning the man-eating ants suddenly popped into his mind.
It appears that Ant-Man patted his metal helmet, or rather, pressed a button on it.
Thinking of this, Qin Chong raised an eyebrow, and a bold conjecture emerged in his mind.
Perhaps Ant-Man's mental strength is simply not enough to control so many man-eating ants. Ant-Man just said that he controlled the man-eating ants by combining science and superpowers.
Therefore, Ant-Man's control over the man-eating ants may rely on the helmet he wears on his head, which may possess the ability to amplify mental power.
When the time comes, if I can disrupt the operation of Ant-Man's helmet, I'm afraid that Ant-Man will be overwhelmed by the man-eating ants without me even having to lift a finger.
……
"No matter what, we'll find out by trying!"
Thinking of this, Qin Chong narrowed his eyes, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed towards the ant-men on the ground, as well as those rookie evolved humans whose faces were pale because of the man-eating ants.
"Huh? Who!"
The moment Ant-Man saw Qin Chong transform into a streak of light and plunge down, he spotted Qin Chong thanks to his superior combat skills. He let out a loud shout, flicked his right hand, and sprayed out a fist-sized amount of white slime from his right metal arm guard.
After detaching from Ant-Man's metal arm guard, the white slime dissolved into threads in mid-air upon encountering the wind, transforming into a massive white net that enveloped Qin Zhong as he rapidly swooped down.
"Hmm, this move is quite interesting..." Looking at the giant white net that was enveloping them, Qin Chong smiled faintly, waved his right hand, and flicked out some sparks.
Although these sparks were tiny, they possessed terrifyingly high temperatures. The moment they touched the giant white net, they turned into raging flames, instantly incinerating the entire net.
However, before the debris from the burning giant net in the sky could fall, more than a dozen silver needles shimmering with dark green light shot out from the fingertips of Ant-Man's right metal arm guard, accompanied by a violent whooshing sound, and attacked Qin Zhong, who was getting closer and closer to him.
"Such a quick reaction!" Qin Chong frowned slightly as he watched the gleaming silver needles hurtle through the air like lightning, and dodged the attack.
In the instant he dodged the silver needle, he still caught a whiff of that sweet, metallic scent that made his head spin.
Although Qin Chong only experienced a slight dizziness before quickly regaining his senses, at this moment, the level of importance he placed on Ant-Man had risen to a new level.
Because, although Qin Chong has not yet fully metallized, his physical qualities as a level 5 evolved being are already sufficient to resist most of the world's deadly poisons.
However, the potent poison that Ant-Man had attached to the silver needles only made him feel slightly dizzy after smelling it, which shows how strong the poison was.
With such a multitude of terrifying traps, coupled with Ant-Man's extraordinary combat reflexes, this opponent is likely even more difficult to deal with than Qin Zhong imagined.
"Blade Runner?"
Seeing Qin Chong repeatedly evade his attacks, Ant-Man leaped forward and rushed to the center of the ant colony before Qin Chong landed.
At the same time, the giant army ants stopped attacking the zombies and instead gathered together, forming an impenetrable fortress that tightly protected the Ant-Man.
Once surrounded by the ant swarm, Ant breathed a slight sigh of relief. Looking at Qin Zhong, who had landed less than twenty meters away, Ant asked in a slightly somber tone, "What brings you here so late at night? You don't want to see how I teach these rookies, do you?"
During this period, the name "Blade Runner" has resounded throughout the entire United States. As a member of the United States League of Legends, Ant-Man had naturally seen Qin Zhong's information, which is why he was able to recognize Qin Zhong's identity at first glance.
However, it was precisely because they recognized Qin Zhong's identity that Ant-Man felt a sense of tension and high vigilance.
It should be noted that, according to the information, this "Blade Runner" was sent to the United States by the Chinese government, and China and the United States have always been enemies rather than friends.
This guy suddenly appeared late at night. If he didn't want to harm me, he couldn't possibly just want to chat with me, right?
