Chapter 97 - Ants

While the drone flew around the area and was intending to leave Arther saw something on the ground.

He hurriedly controlled the drone above the location where there was the warehouse once, now replaced by a huge pit.

As he focused the camera at a certain location in the pit and zoomed in he saw what it was.

At the center of the deep pit, there was a small mound of soil rising up.

Everyone was focused on the screen as the soil mound kept moving for few seconds, then a small black head poked out of it with two long antennae and two dreadful mandibles in the front clapping together to make odd sounds.

The antennae swung in the air for a few seconds and then the head completely emerged from the soil following by a shining long body covered with a black exoskeleton.

Following this one, many other heads poked out of the surrounding, hundreds, thousands.

This scene of huge ants popping out of the ground sent shivers down everyone's spines.

Following these worker ants, few bigger and stronger fighter ants followed suit from a huge hole at the center of the pit.

Seeing this situation Arther ordered the drone to fly back. He was curious about the ants and wanted to watch for more time but he had known a very important issue they need to consider.

After a few minutes, the drone came back and entered the MCV from the same opening on the roof.

Once the drone was back Arther went to the driver's cabin,

In there John and Jack were sitting with horrified looks on their face.

"Uncle John, we don't have much time to stay here. I have uploaded the route map to the system. You drive out of here along the route marked.", John nodded and excitedly turned on the driving assistant and started the MCV. In normal times Arther has asked him to turn only the electric engine.

"Dad, you come with me.", his dad had a serious expression on his face. As he filled Arther.

Soon they came to the living room where everyone was waiting for an explanation with a worried expression.

Seeing the ladies scared looks and questioning stares Arther cleared his throat to speak, "Hmm, I know everyone must be having many questions about the situation."

He was thinking of telling the truth but seeing their scared looks and the shaking bodies of Nanny and Jessy made him drop the idea.

After thinking about it for some time, he turned to the window and waved his hands to make the windows transparent. Soon the moving scenery outside was completely visible.

Seeing that they were moving away from the warehouse at a fast speed everyone was relieved a bit.

Seeing this Arther nodded, "There is no need to be afraid, we are safe now. I have asked Uncle John to drive out of the forest. Have some rest until I finish an important task."

With this, he gestured towards Rose and Lia to follow. While passing by he also gestured towards Mey who was trying to calm down from the previous shock.

She noticed the look of Arther and was a bit confused but she had no other things to do so she followed along. Anyways it will help her feel better when in the work.

His father didn't follow them as he went to his room with Abella for some private time.

Turning towards Rose and Lia who were following him nervously he spoke, "I have promised Rose to treat your friend. So go and bring him along. There are few stretchers in the upper racks in the dorms."

After explaining Arther gestured for them to work fast.

Hearing what Arther said there was a surprised look on both the girls face, but it was soon changed into happy looks and they ran towards the boys dorm to pick up Andrius.

After waiting for a few minutes Rose and Lia were back with Andrius wrapped on a stretcher.

After nodding at them Arther led them past all the room to the medical room. This was the first time they have came here so all of them were a bit curious.

Without letting them any time to observe the surrounding he opened the door, the room they entered looked huge due to the emptiness.

Walking inside all of them were surprised to find that the room was actually filled with medicine boxes and other materials collected from the warehouse.

Arther led them at the centre of the room where there was a glass tube like thing. It looked like a medical bed with a big glass covering it. It was big enough to easily fit a fat man inside.

Then under the confused looks of the ladies Arther pressed a few switches on the screen besides the bed.
