Chapter 399: Life and Death Escape (Text)
"What the fuck is this?" The fat man took a long breath.
"The Desert Demon Scorpion, its two pincers and tail hook are able to seep venom, which is not much different from the venom of the Eye King Snake. If you are bitten, if you don't treat it for more than a minute, even if you send it to the world's most advanced hospital, it will be useless......"
Xiao Lou said softly, her voice was still trembling slightly, as if she was scared just now.
"Xiaolou, how do you know?"
Zhang Meng asked with some curiosity.
"These are the most threatening things in the desert, and they are all documented in detail. These numbers seem to have been left by an old professor when we were exploring Lop Nur, and then we learned about them after integrating them according to some eyewitness reports from the people. â
"Is there any way to deal with this scorpion?" Zhang Meng suddenly came to his senses.
"No, if you want to talk about weakness, although its vitality is strong, its body is very fragile, and it only needs one foot to kill it. But it's a social animal, and whenever it's foraging for food, thousands of them come out together! â
Xiao Lou said with a wry smile.
"Thousands of desert scorpions acting together?"
The fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with some difficulty.
"Hmm."
Xiao Lou nodded helplessly.
"This kind of thing is usually asleep, and only when the energy in the body has been consumed to a certain extent, will it come out to forage for food. Otherwise, unless they are frightened, they will not come out, and I wonder if we are too unlucky? It was actually the time period when they were caught in the hidden food. â
"But when I saw those scorpions just now, there should be only about a hundred, right? Not so much. â
Zhang Meng said with some doubts, if there were really thousands of such things, it would be a luxury for them to run back to the car just now.
"It's most likely just a small group, and there's no mistake with this desert scorpion being a massive swarm. There are traces of them here, and I'm afraid that the next few days will be the day they start hunting! There have been such scorpion tides before, the most severe one was in September 1981, when the scorpion ran all the way to an oasis on the edge of the Lop Nur Desert, and in just one day's work, all the creatures that stayed there were gnawed into bones......"
Xiao Lou gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Meng was horrified when he heard it, an oasis where there were definitely thousands of people who saved zĂ i, and they were eaten alive.
Suddenly, there was a tooth-sore sound outside the car door, as if there were sharp stones on the steel plate of the off-road vehicle.
And the most terrifying thing is that the entire off-road vehicle was actually shaken slightly, you must know that this military vehicle weighs at least two or three tons, and I don't know why these hundreds of demon scorpions can burst out with such terrifying power and can actually push this car.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Meng urged, no need for Zhang Meng to say, the fat man had stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car was like a lost dog whining and rushing forward.
The fat man didn't care if the engine would be lost at this time, so he drove at the fastest speed for almost an hour, and then slowed down slightly.
Zhang Meng's face is very bad, and now the navigator on the car is completely useless, and they have no way to get out of the car to observe the 'dragon potential' at the moment, so there is no way to judge the specific location. Now they are completely relying on their intuition to walk around, this method is actually very undesirable, but at the moment they have no choice, because there may be the green demon scorpion swarm behind them.
"Alright, that's it! If these scorpion swarms can catch up, then even if we drive for another hour, it will be useless. â
Xiao Lou said suddenly, her expression a little worried.
"Xiao Lou, will these demon scorpions track people?" Zhang Meng's heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Lou sighed, and then said:
"I don't know if they will track them, but they have a characteristic, that is, their noses are particularly sensitive, and they can smell the smell of prey hundreds of meters away, so everywhere these desert demon scorpions go, there are corpses all over the field, and no one can avoid them at all. In the past, when the scorpion tide broke out, some people hid in the cellar and tried to use these methods to avoid these scorpions, but the results were all in vain. â
Xiao Lou almost cried: "These demon scorpions sometimes don't come out once in decades, why are we so unlucky!" â
"Forget it, we've all encountered more unlucky things than this, Lao Tzu is a broom star down to earth......"
Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and comforted.
"Let's find a route first! Even if we can't find that ruin, we have to have a safe way out, otherwise if we make a circle in this desert, and wait for these demon scorpions to really break out, it will be a dead end! â
Xiao Lou said anxiously.
"Well, that's the only way, fat man, you look for it, if there is a better position around, let's rest nearby."
Zhang Meng thought about it, and there was only this way, he nodded and said to the fat man.
In the desert, it is difficult to find the kind of terrain that is relatively easy to defend in the mountains, and the fat man can only choose a random place and park there.
At this time, it was already completely dark, and Zhang Meng wanted to take a look at the 'dragon potential' to determine where they were.
"Fatty, let's go pick up some grass roots or something to make a fire, right? This fire has to be burned a little bigger. â
Zhang Meng said to the fat man.
"No, you can't touch the dry grass roots in the desert, this is the last bit of green in the desert, if it really doesn't exist, the whole Taklamakan will become a dead place. Isn't there solid fuel in the car? Use this to light the fire. â
Xiao Lou glared at Zhang Meng and said that he wouldn't let him go.
"Settle the affairs of the two of you husband and wife."
The fat man shrugged his shoulders and ran to the side to pick his feet.
"Dead fat!"
Xiao Lou scolded angrily, making a lot of fun of the fat man, and she won't be as helpless as she was at the beginning.
Xiao Lou took out a cardboard box, took out two white solids with a slight smell of fire oil, and then lit them with a match, and suddenly burst out into a huge fire.
"Oops, that's a lot!"
Xiao Lou stuck out his tongue.
"What the fuck is this? How I haven't seen it. The fat man was dumbfounded.
"This is a solid fuel produced by a Korean patent, and the heat released by this fuel is no less than that of burning wood, and such a small piece is equivalent to a tree that is more than ten years old. This is also a matter of this year, and our country has also imported some for special departments, which are not available on the market, and you must not have seen them. â
Xiao Lou said with a smile.
Zhang Meng was also amazed, these things were done by lady and their side before, so Zhang Meng still thinks that the bonfire in the camp is burned with wood or something.
