Chapter 344: Strange Things Happen
Lu Qiu's group of people who broke off the road at the end also finally arrived, they were the hardest team, because there were four huge sandworms chasing them, and the windshield of one of the cars was broken most of it, it seems that they came here after a hard fight, and the four sandworms were not safe and sound, and most of their heads were lost, but it didn't seem to affect its movement much.

At the time of departure, there were a total of fifteen off-road vehicles, which were basically in the form of three people, but after such a toss by the sand worm swarm, they directly lost three, and there were many other cars with varying degrees of damage, such as broken windshields, broken chassis, excessive sand into the engine, and so on.
Of the three vehicles lost, two of them were trapped in the mud and sand flow, and now it is estimated that they have completely sunk and cannot be recovered, one of them sank and disappeared with the car, all communication was broken, and the other team escaped except for the driver and was rescued by other convoys.
The other one was hit by a huge sandworm, overturned directly, and the oil cylinders were cracked and spontaneously combusted, although all the people escaped, but this is a special vehicle for the technical support team, and most of the equipment used in this line of detection is in this car, which is a heavy blow to everyone.
Without the equipment car, the difficulty of their trip will increase a lot, the safest way is to go back to rectify first, or let Lu Suyan deploy other spare vehicles or equipment, but Lu Kang and the others don't seem to be ready to go back, and are discussing how to move next.
Although this is the Gobi region, the swarm of sand worms still chased over, they do not have the ability to move on land like giant sand worms, they can't move on the bare ground for a long time, they all surround the outside, surrounding the entire Gobi area, which can be monitored from infrared sensing instruments, their actions are very regular, even if the giant sand worms have fallen, but they still do not scatter, it seems that everyone is the target.
Here they are safe for the time being, the swarm of sandworms can't attack for a while, Lu Kang asked his subordinates to inspect and repair the vehicle, and their nine core members got together to discuss countermeasures, they each have their own abilities, and they can get out of this crisis, even Lu Qiu, who is the most besieged by sandworms.
"The loss is so heavy before entering the core area, it seems that the luck this time is not very good, but if it weren't for the early warning of the Yunli brothers, we wouldn't have reacted so quickly, in short, thank you, we can't retreat, it's too late to replenish the equipment, let's continue to advance tomorrow as originally planned." Lu Kang explained simply, and he didn't forget to thank Yunli.
Not only him, but even Ma Da and Xiao Hu, who began to have some prejudices against him, also nodded politely to Yun Li, if he didn't warn in advance this time, the situation faced by everyone would be even more severe, and there might be more than three cars to lose.
Since they had all decided, Yunli didn't have any objections, he was very concerned about the situation of the sandworm, and asked, "Have any of you encountered this kind of thing before, and is this how they chase people when they see them?" ”
"It's the first time I've encountered such a big sandworm, and the largest one I've encountered before is only arm-thick, but this time there are more than a dozen, and they usually don't know where they're hiding?" Ma Da was the first to answer, now he is fully armed, with several powerful guys behind him, and he has a sniper rifle, which does not look like ordinary goods.
The others also shook their heads when they heard this question, it seemed that it was the first time they had encountered such a huge sandworm, Lu Qiu came out and answered: "I've heard of big sandworms before, but I haven't described them specifically, and it's not the first time I've encountered a swarm of sandworms, they feed on grass roots, and they don't have much intersection with other creatures, so they shouldn't come to chase us." ”
The younger Lu Jin and Lu Dong stood behind him, the three of them were in a car, after experiencing the previous danger, their faces were not very good, especially Lu Dong, a girl, she was the youngest in the team, about twenty years old, not even yet, hiding behind the eldest brother Lu Qiu without saying a word, and I don't know if she was frightened.
"Now the giant sandworms have all been eliminated, but the sandworm swarm is still outside, obviously for us, otherwise there is no other explanation, why is that?" Xiao Hu couldn't help but ask.
This question made everyone very distressed, and Lu Fenger guessed: "Could it be that the noise from our vehicle has touched these things?" I've heard some creatures have a unique response to certain special sounds or vibrations, and they will chase after them when they encounter them. ”
Her explanation is easier to accept, but no one can determine the reason, the most tangled person is Yunli, encountering these sandworms, he unconsciously wants to think of those ghost meteors in the Meili Snow Mountain, those ghost things just smell the smell of electromagnetic force on their bodies, and they chased themselves at the beginning, can it be said that these sandworms also have the ability to induce electromagnetic force?
This idea was quickly dismissed by him, if the sandworms had this ability, he could not have noticed it, unless their ability could be above the electromagnetic force, and the sandworms were not all directed at him personally, as evidenced by the fact that the other convoys were being pursued, and the sandworms should be directed at the entire team and not for him personally.
Everyone knows that the situation is abnormal, but they can't find the reason, which is the most worrying point, but no matter what, it is the right way to solve the current predicament first, Lu Kang suggested: "Although the swarm of sandworms can't get in for a while, the longer they are active outside, the more unstable this area will be, let's get out quickly, without the huge sandworms, it is not difficult to get rid of them." ”
"Then without further ado, let's choose a direction to kill them, I don't know if there will be more sandworms to surround us, we can't sit still." Lu Qiu also agreed.
Lu Kang also meant this, but before making a decision, he still wanted to ask Yunli's opinion, which could be regarded as a recognition of him, so he said, "What does Brother Yunli mean?" ”
"I don't have an opinion, choose the place where the giant sandworm fell and go out, the sandworm swarm seems to be very afraid of this kind of big sandworm, and is not very willing to get close to these big guys, there are fewer sandworms gathered there, which is a breakthrough point." Yunli also agreed to escape first, it was not a way to grind here, and told what he had found.
Not only him, but several people noticed this detail, and everyone immediately got on the car in batches, crushed the swarm of sand worms from the way they came, and then immediately turned to the east and traveled along the planned route, without the pressure of the huge sand worms, the swarm did not pose much threat to them, and they were thrown off by the convoy not long after.
After experiencing this night's thrilling escape, everyone's mood is not very good, especially if there are personnel losses, even if they are all well-trained special personnel, but it is difficult to completely control emotions no matter how they are trained, especially when they encountered this kind of thing not long after they set off, and their confidence was very hit.
They walked a little east, then turned north, made a great circle to avoid the unstable area, and then continued on to the center, and with the lesson of the previous lesson, everyone raised their attention to the highest level, and did not let go of the slightest disturbance.
Until before noon, they encountered a small forest area in the swamp, and everyone was tired after running around all night, so Lu Kang asked people to stop in this forest area, and everyone could rest for a while and recuperate, and they could also breathe.
There are many ways to alleviate people's worries, one of the more effective is to eat something good, the materials in the off-road vehicle are very sufficient, including all kinds of emergency food, Lu Kang made people build a fire, take noodles and canned meat out to cook a meal, and there is warm food imported into the stomach, which can bring a little peace of mind to everyone.
But before the things were imported, Yunli's shout came again, and a large group of marching ants poured out of the woods at some point, dense black and oppressive with no end in sight, and all the people immediately got into the car and fled again, not to mention eating, not even bringing any utensils or anything, racing against time to escape.
It's no wonder that everyone is so alarmed, marching ants are different from ordinary ants, they are big and fast, a group has millions of numbers, and they like to catch prey on the move, so they have the loud title of marching ants, if they are entangled, within a few minutes, a living person will be eaten a pair of bones, and even the iron vehicle can not resist.
Marching ants are generally active in the jungle area, such a huge number, even in the tropical primeval jungle is rare to see, but they encountered, as soon as the car moved, the ant colony had a target to chase, all chasing the vehicle.
Although the road here is very rugged, but ants are ants after all, no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than four tires, except for the beginning of their startles, the actual threat is not big, but after this incident, everyone is like a frightened bird, and they don't dare to stop to rest, and staying in the car is the safest place at present.
Although they were moving forward non-stop, due to a series of accidents, they spent most of their time taking a detour to avoid the crisis, and then returning to the right route, which took most of the time, and the progress of the trip was not ideal, wasting time and mental energy.
At dusk they were again in trouble, and as soon as the convoy stopped to rest, a large flock of crows flew from the sky, and did not return home, but hovered over their heads, and they did not come down to besiege the people, but they were more and more numerous, and the noise became louder and louder, and they were annoyed.
Everyone wanted to run away immediately, but Yun Li came out to stop it, and after a series of strange events, he felt that someone was controlling all this behind the scenes, or that it was not a person, in short, they were being played around now, he didn't like this feeling very much, and it wouldn't change much if he fled again.
