Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 179

His eyes blazed with hatred as he glowered at the Land Rover speeding away.

This is all your fault—

"Kekeke!"

Crunch-

Big Guo's head rolled, and his body collapsed onto the ground.

The bag fell, and the egg rolled to a stop near one of the warrior ants' feet.

The soldier ant's antennae twitched wildly, as if mocking Big Guo's death.

Just as the ants were about to snatch the egg, a rope made of red mental energy coiled around it. The egg lifted into the air and flew swiftly in the opposite direction.

Lin Weihao caught sight of the egg gliding toward them at high speed from the corner of his eye. Instantly, he knew it was Nanzhi. Without hesitation, he floored the accelerator, searching for another route to shake off the pursuing ants.

"Kekeke!"

The ants' antennae vibrated furiously, their anger palpable as their prize was stolen. A deep, unsettling buzz filled the air, reminiscent of thousands of wasps' wings beating in unison, making Nanzhi's ears tingle.

Everyone turned to watch the ants move in coordinated waves, resembling a black tsunami swallowing the street.

There was still a considerable distance between the car and the horde, but Nanzhi remained vigilant. Escaping these ants was no easy feat.

More importantly, she wouldn't waste good EXP resources.

"The small ones are yours. Leave the big ones to me. Just watch out for the acid spray," Nanzhi instructed.

"Got it!"

"What about me?" Si Hao asked, unwilling to sit idly by.

Nanzhi chuckled. "Keep a lookout and warn us if an ant tries to sneak attack."

"Alright! I can do that!" Si Hao clenched his fists, eyes wide with determination, resembling an overzealous owl.

The three of them had elementary-level abilities—far from enough to deal with a swarm of mutant ants. They would need firepower.

"Kekeke!"

Gunshots rang out.

Bullets peppered the advancing ants. Some fell, but not all. The soldier ants were cunning, shielding the bullets. Their exoskeletons were thick. It was like shooting at bulletproof glass.

Nanzhi, on the other hand, had no problem penetrating their defenses. The soldier ants collapsed helplessly under her 'Spike Rain'—or as she liked to call it, EXP Harvester Skill No. 2.

EXP Harvester Skill No. 1 was the Telekinetic Grenade.

[You've earned 75 EXP.]

[You've earned 150 EXP.]

[You've earned 250 EXP.]

[…]

EXP! EXP!

Of course, she didn't forget to collect her trophies.

The spars from the dead ants floated toward her pockets—ahem—inventory.

The system, reading her thoughts, almost felt pity for the ants.

In less than ten minutes, four soldier ants had been eliminated.

"Target their joints, underbelly, and neck," Lin Weihao instructed, watching through the rearview mirror.

Everyone followed his guidance.

Though their hit rate was low, any ant struck in a weak point was swiftly killed.

Even Yu Baoyin, the least skilled in shooting, showed improvement. Si Hao, for once, was actually helpful and refrained from screaming.

The soldier ants, sensing their dwindling numbers, clacked their razor-sharp mandibles rapidly, producing a menacing sound.

As the car swerved around wreckage, the remaining soldier ants in front skidded sideways. Their hooked claws dug into the pavement, anchoring them in place before they launched themselves into the air.
