Chapter 194: The Locusts That Eat People

Although the town of Blusco is small, it has a population of more than 1,000 families, and the total number of people is two or three thousand. Tours and adventurers often come to visit the area, so the town of Blusco is becoming a tourist town, so it's full of shops and supplies!

"Uncle, where is the bigger store around here?" As soon as he entered the town of Brusco, Su Qiubai grabbed a gray-haired old man nearby and asked.

It's not that the things that Su Qiubai wants to buy don't have in ordinary stores, but Su Qiubai still hopes to go to a relatively large store to shop, after all, there are more choices in that kind of place, and the things in the large store can be shopped around when the time comes.

"Are young people here to play? Let's go, I'll take you there! The old man greeted him warmly, and it seemed that the old man often showed the way for tourists here.

"Uncle, thank you!" Su Qiubai said.

The old man nodded, seemingly satisfied, but then a solemn look appeared on his face: "Young man, if you are visiting our town of Blusco, we are very welcome, but if you want to enter this great desert, I advise you not to go!" ”

Hearing the old man's words, Su Qiubai was slightly stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, is there anything you can't go to in this big desert?" ”

Glancing at Su Qiubai, the old man sighed and said, "In addition to the extreme heat and no water source in the desert, the most terrifying thing is the storm!" ”

Storm? Su Qiubai suddenly thought that there are many big storms in the desert every year, these storms are big or small, but for ordinary humans, they can't compete with nature!

"Based on years of experience in this desert, there will be a big storm in the near future, and if anyone enters the desert at this time, it will definitely be dead and alive!" The old man said with a solemn face.

Is there death or no life? Su Qiubai couldn't help but be taken aback, but he had to enter the desert, so he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, when will this storm come?" ”

Since the old man knows that there is a storm coming, when will it come, I believe that the old man will have a little bottom in his heart!

The old man smiled and said slowly: "It's just these two days, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe tonight!" ”

For the old man's vague answer, Su Qiubai was not angry.

After all, people are also well-intentioned to advise themselves, and they can't treat other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.

It seems that it is not so easy to enter the desert this time.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Su Qiubai walked into the shop that the old man said.

Seeing Su Qiubai gradually disappear from view, the old man couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Deng Shi looked frightened, and his mouth opened wide, as if he had seen something terrible.

At this time, the sky that had been clear suddenly became cloudy, and the black pressure seemed to be pressed down this day.

The wind outside began to blow, gradually getting stronger and stronger, and just when Su Qiubai was still selecting goods inside, a scream broke the silence before the storm: "The storm is coming......"

The storm is coming?

"What's going on, make it clear!" There were a lot of tourists in the shop, who knew what the so-called storm was, and when they saw the frightened look on the face of the person who ran in to report the news, they hurriedly ran over and asked.

"Now the sand and rocks are flying ahead, obscuring the sky and the sun, and we have encountered a desert storm." The messenger said in a trembling tone.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and hurriedly ran out.

Su Qiubai was naturally among them, looking at the dark clouds rolling outside, a formation of black clouds overwhelming the city, coupled with the whirring of the wind and waves outside, there was a feeling that the end of the world was coming.

At this moment, the old man who was still outside just now was looking at the sudden change in the weather with a look of disbelief.

Su Qiubai hurriedly ran over and pulled the old man, if he continued to stand in place, maybe it would be very dangerous for something to scrape down from the upper floor and smash him later.

Su Qiubai said: "Uncle, aren't you from here?" Why would you be so surprised to see this storm? ”

Being pulled by Su Qiubai just now, and with such a shout, the old man slowly came back to his senses: "Young man, this storm is unprecedented!" ”

Unprecedented? Su Qiubai couldn't help but become more and more puzzled.

I only heard the old man say slowly: "There is a saying that has always been spread in our desert, that is, if one day the storm of the desert blows to the edge, then the surrounding creatures will not be destined to escape the clutches of death!" ”

Listening to the old man's somewhat inexplicable and unobtrusive words, Su Qiubai thought that the old man must have been scared stupid.

"Young man, old man, I'm not stupid now, I'm scaring you!" The old man's words changed, "I can't hide it, old man, I have lived on the edge of this desert since I was a child, and I have some knowledge of the large and small storms in the desert, but like today's storm, the old man I assert: The one who comes is not good!" First of all, there's never been a desert storm at the edge of the desert, and I didn't lie to you, you can just ask someone. Secondly, and what I am worried about, old man, is that statement......"

Speaking of this, the old man paused, and Su Qiubai took over and said, "Is the old man worried that this town will be destroyed in this storm?" ”

"Not really!" The old man shook his head and vetoed, "It is inevitable that the storm may take a toll on our town, but what I am worried about in the storm, or what is behind the storm. ”

Su Qiubai only felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he felt that this old man's speech was completely wrong.

"Young man, it's not the right time for you to come!" The old man's tone was full of regret.

Feeling the infinite sadness in the old man's tone, Su Qiubai couldn't help asking, "Just because of this storm?" ”

As time passed, the wind seemed to be blowing stronger and stronger, and some sand and stones on the ground were also rolled up, blown away, and touched his face as if a knife had cut it, and after a while, Su Qiubai's face was left with a few red scratches, and he couldn't help but feel pain.

"It's because of this storm, but it's not." The old man turned his head to look at the sky, and then slowly said, "It's because you, will, die!" ”

After listening to the old man say the word dead word word by word, Su Qiubai finally couldn't calm down anymore.

So, he grabbed the old man's hand and shouted in an almost roaring tone: "You tell me clearly, what the hell is going on!" ”

"Young man, there is nothing I can do, after this storm, everyone here will die, instead of telling you to let you wait for death in fear, it is better to wait and meet death directly, come fearless!" The old man said with a smile on his face.

No, I can't die here, absolutely not! Su Qiubai secretly told himself in his heart that he still had a lot of things to do, and decided that he couldn't lose his life in such a ghost place!

Now the wind was stronger than before, and all the stalls that had been lined up in the street were blown by the storm, and all kinds of things fell to the ground, but they were immediately swept up by the storm again, and the wind swept into the air.

As for their masters, the petty traders have now taken refuge in the corner. There was a look of fear on his face, as if the old man had just printed a mold.

Is it because they know the legend just like the old man, and they all think that their lives are short, and they can only wait for death to come slowly?

For the rest of the tourists, their faces were full of excitement, and many of them took out their cameras or mobile phones, ready to take a few photos of this magnificent landscape.

Su Qiubai found that it seemed that most of the aborigines in the towns and cities had invariably appeared expressions of extreme fear. It's in stark contrast to the so-called ignorant and fearless other tourists.

"What happens next?" Su Qiubai muttered to himself.

But even if something happens, Su Qiubai believes that he will be able to deal with it, after all, after so many tribulations, just this little storm, plus a so-called legend, wants to scare him, this is inevitably ridiculous!

Without speaking again, Su Qiubai silently waited for the next change in the storm......

"Didi ......"

Sirens sounded not far away, it was the army! Looks like there are quite a few people coming! Did you come here to do the evacuation work? But shouldn't the armed police be doing the evacuation work? No matter how you come here, it's like some special forces.

The appearance of the special forces made the residents of the town, who were originally in despair, seem to see a little hope.

The storm is getting louder and louder, and the sand in the desert is being brought out, and if there is one right word to describe it, the town is now facing one: a sandstorm!

Everywhere you can see with the naked eye, there is yellow sand rolling, and if you don't take some protective measures to breathe through your mouth, then your mouth, nose, and organs have been flooded with yellow sand at this moment.

"Report to the sir, the soldiers have been assembled, please instruct!" Dozens of special forces stood in two rows and said to an officer-looking man in front of them.

"Implement according to the original plan, take a break!" The chief said.

Looking at the special forces that suddenly appeared, Su Qiubai couldn't figure out why they came, whether they came early or late, but at this time, did they know that this town was going to face an unprecedented disaster? This is a bit unreasonable!

The arrival of the special forces gave Su Qiubai a chance to be lazy, and he originally thought that he would wait for the white wolf with empty gloves, but now it seems that he is obviously not needed. Su Qiubai decided to wait and let these special forces strike first, firstly, he could see their strength clearly, and secondly, Su Qiubai didn't think of doing it now, so he simply was lazy to the end, as long as the sky didn't fall, he didn't mind waiting to stand aside and watch the show.

Just when Su Qiubai was still thinking about it in his heart, a miserable scream rang out: "Ah, help, save ......"

Turning his head, he saw that the original special forces had become a mess, and one of them was surrounded by a lot of black and oppressive things that he didn't know what it was, and the scream just now was made by him.

In a short time, the group of black pressed things scattered in all directions, and only a pile of white bones was left in Fang Cai's place, not even a single trace of blood or clothing!

Terrible! Shock!

This is the thought in everyone's hearts at this moment, seeing this scene, the people next to them didn't dare to ask anymore, just silently dispersed, waiting for the next change, to be able to become a special forces, their hearts are naturally too ordinary people.

"Locusts!" This was Su Qiubai's first thought when he saw the thing just now.

How can there be locusts in a place like the desert? And don't all locusts eat only grains? How could a good big living person eat only bones.

Contacting the appearance of the special forces, as well as these locusts, Su Qiubai suddenly understood a little. It is estimated that these locusts are mutated species, perhaps prepared by the government to be used as military weapons, but they escaped through some channels.
