Chapter 113: Gold Devouring Ants
"Check that the gas mask is not damaged. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info"After all, it's a live bacteria area, and gas masks can also have problems after so many years.
Everyone made sure there was no problem, and the car drove into the spore-infested area.
It was too dark to find a single car. The hyphae also change from columnar to hillock-shaped, like an active volcano that breathes non-stop. Lu Yuechi said: "This is the evolved spore mouth, be careful not to run over the sensitive area, otherwise it will ......."
"Squeak" sounds! Spores erupted from under the chassis, and suddenly a piece of blue-gray appeared, and a piece of the old body also fell.
Yuno said: "Be careful! She was hammering the car window shut with a discarded iron sheet. Lu Qingchen said: "I'm curious about what you have brought?" β
Yuno said while busy: "Money and survival tools." What did you bring with you? β
Lu Qingchen said: "It's the same as you." But the rifle was the heaviest in his backpack. Guns really don't have an advantage against monsters, but against people, one shot is enough. After all, some people are more terrible than monsters.
"Hey! Completed. Yuno tapped the tin very firmly, and now she could also turn on the flashlight, and there was an extra light source, and the surroundings became clearer.
She let out a low exclamation, being in such a strange and colorful world of live bacteria, it felt like she had descended on an alien planet.
But it was also frightening, Yuno said, "I always feel that something is staring at us in the dark." β
Lu Qingchen shook the flashlight suddenly, "Is it there?" β
"No, no...... I couldn't be sure, as if as soon as I shone the flashlight away, the thing avoided it. She couldn't hold on to the dark monster.
Lu Yuechi gently held Yuno's hand, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties together." β
Yuno said, "I'm not nervous enough to hallucinate. β
The car was still moving, and now there was only a narrow canyon ahead, wrapped in large, thick fungus packs on both sides.
The constant noise under the car is a tire slippage. Because live bacteria are metabolized very quickly, this layer of material on the ground becomes warm and viscous.
Lu Qingchen suddenly said: "Drive slowly!" β
"What's going on?"
"You see the thing wrapped around the front left, doesn't it look like the hands and feet of some kind of insect?"
Everyone called the flashlight daughter together, only to see a huge insect of about three meters entangled.
"ThisβThis is too big, what the hell is ......?"
"It's some kind of arthropod, as if it were an insect."
Lu Qingchen said: "It is very simple to distinguish arthropods from insects, the six-legged ones are insects, and the number of more than six is animals. This is true for spiders and scorpions. β
"But it seems to have seven legs, how can that be counted?"
"What?" Lu Qingchen felt strange, he thought that which leg was disabled, but after a closer look, he found that it was not simple. It turned out to be a seven-legged creature, with a body structure very similar to that of a spider, a fat belly, and slender and powerful seven legs. Strangely enough, it seems to have been born with seven legs, and it is able to balance each other, which is really unheard of.
Yuno teased, "You must like this type of monster, right?" β
Lu Qingchen said: "Yes, it has seven legs. β
Lu Yuechi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with the seven feet?" β
Yuno just blushed and hurriedly brought a sentence of "It's okay". She looked carefully at the ...... of the monster's arthropod end and whispered, "Look at the end of its feet, why is there such a flourishing fungus blanket?" And it's a bit like the monster that attacked us before......"
"Could it be that it wears a human face on its feet, too?" Lu Qingchen said this terrifying conjecture that Yuno had not dared to say for a long time. He went on to say: "The animal kingdom has a 'mimic' way of survival, by imitating the form of its prey to get close to it and take the opportunity to kill it. Perhaps this monster uses human faces to mimic human movements and smells, disguised itself. β
But even it had an accident, not only was it wrapped in mycelium, but the human face on its feet also turned into the nutrition of live bacteria. But why is it not corroded by hyphae on its own? β
Lu Qingchen said: "I don't know, maybe it has very little water in its body, so little that the mycelium can't survive, or some other factors." β
The car has completely left the live fungus area, and this is a mass grave...... There were fewer and fewer mycelium on the road ahead, and Lu Qingchen estimated that they had only traveled to a place of about a thousand meters in the tunnel after feeling them left and left. Gasoline is enough, you can drive another forty kilometers.
He thinks it's strange that the tunnel is built so long, especially in the mountains, shouldn't it be more important to widen the road to ensure safety? Instead of making such a dark tunnel.
There are no lighting installations in the tunnel, and it is nothing more than a huge cement tomb. There is less and less mold on the road ahead, and gradually only the mycelium wrapped around the ceiling, many of which wrap around the windshield, and the raincoat freak drives the wipers, but the wipers are useless. There are no cars on this stretch...... Lu Qingchen's eyes were sharp, and he saw some broken slag on the ground, which seemed to be ...... He nervously said, "Stop!" β
The car stopped, and Lu Qingchen said, "Pay attention to my side." "I opened the door and went down to check.
He was not mistaken, this is broken iron slag, and the iron slag is still very sharp, some are 3 or 4 centimeters long, and it can easily puncture the tires. These iron slags....... It seems that someone deliberately placed it here, Lu Qingchen picked it up and picked it up, but it was broken. The iron fell like flour, and he touched a few nearby piles of iron slag, and found that the texture was very soft.
What causes such a reaction?
"Let's go! Walk! Lu Qingchen heard Yuno's voice, she tried to knock on the car window, and Lu Qingchen ran back into the car violently. What's wrong? β
Yuno said: "There is something!" I heard them for a split second. β
"They? Not one? β
"Yes, it seems that there are tens of millions, hundreds of millions." She urged, "Hurry up and drive." β
Lu Qingchen said: "There is some iron slag in front, pay attention." β
The raincoat freak stepped on the accelerator, but there was no response for a while. And what Yuno said kept approaching, and now everyone could hear the sound of Si Xi Suosuo, like thousands of small objects kept ringing, they were gradually approaching in the dark, and Lu Qingchen slammed the high-power flashlight forward!
It's pitch black, and the black is moving, as if it swallows all the light, enveloping the entire tunnel from the top to bottom, left and right!
"So, what's that big piece?"
Yuno only said: "Whatever it is, rush over!" β
When the car starts, the raincoat freak tries to speed up as much as he can, and rushes over with the accelerator. Suddenly, they understood what this darkness was, it was an army of hundreds of millions of individuals, a black grim reaper.
Perhaps in the adventure stories passed down by the old people in Qiangtang, there are still figures that they once appeared, which is a kind of "gold-eating ants".
Lu Qingchen suddenly understood why the abandoned vehicles gradually decreased, or even disappeared. They are all reduced to food for gold-eating ants.
