Chapter 666: Hornet's Nest

Qi Lin's suggestion was not accepted in the end, and the five of them moved quickly across the desert in a zigzag formation.

I don't know if it was luck or something else, they ran more than thirty kilometers in one go, and they didn't encounter a single mutated creature, which made One feel that his decision was very correct.

"Stop and rest for two minutes."

After One finished speaking, he took out a water bag from his backpack and drank most of it in one go.

In the desert of Lop Nur, the biggest danger factor is the lack of water, but the "organization" has apparently taken this into account, not only stocking the training ground with a large number of mutated creatures, but also dozens of self-help supply points, each of which stores a certain amount of ammunition, food, and clean water.

Supply points are not marked on the map, but there is a radio beacon inside each supply point, and the radio signal released by this beacon can be searched by the equipment carried by Three, and the direction and distance of the supply point can be determined according to the strength of the signal.

At this moment, a signal captured by 3 showed that there was a supply point 12 kilometers directly in front of them.

The five of them drank a little water, rested for a while, and then began to move again—the ammunition in the supply point might not be of much use to them who had not yet fought and were fully ammoral, but water and food were crucial.

The entire confrontation training lasted for seven days, but each of them could only get 200 grams of compressed military rations and 1.5 liters of drinking water, which was barely enough for an adult to consume for a day.

"Wait, there's something up ahead?" Qi Lin, who was at the front, stopped, made a gesture behind him to stop advancing, and then slowly squatted down.

"What's that?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in No. 1's voice, and he had always felt that Qi Lin was not very pleasing to the eye since Qi Lin had an argument with him before the mission began.

"It looks like a mutant creature...... Right next to the supply point. ”

"Mutant creatures?" One raised his binoculars and looked in the direction Qi Lin was pointing.

Five hundred meters away, there were three large army-green wooden boxes, which were obviously the supplies that the organization had put in, and next to the large wooden boxes, there was an earthy yellow boulder about two meters high and four or five meters wide oval.

"What kind of mutant creatures are here? All I saw was a supply crate and a big rock! ”

"Look closely at the big rock, there are a lot of round holes in it."

"What happened to the round holes? This is Lop Nur, a typical Yadan landform, and those round holes may just be caused by wind erosion...... I said Five, you're too bold, can a stone scare you? ”

"No, I think Five is right, it's not a rock, it's a giant hive. The aeolian rocks formed by the Yadan landform would not look like that, and in my judgment, this should be a nest of mutated bees or ants. The taciturn Second said suddenly, and everyone remembered that he seemed to be a biologist.

"Are you sure, Two?" No. 1's face was a little ugly, and No. 2's words were obviously tantamount to slapping him in the face, but after all, they were teammates, and there were common enemies to face, so No. 1 couldn't have a seizure, so he could only ask him in a muffled voice.

"Not entirely sure, it's too far away, unless we observe for a while, if there is a hive at that time, there will definitely be individuals who go out to forage."

"Observe for a while? What we lack most now is time, no matter what kind of bug's nest it is, a grenade will be all solved! One said impatiently, filling a grenade into the M203 grenade launcher hanging under the M4 rifle, tilting it up at a slight angle, and then pulling the trigger of the launcher.

With a "thud", the grenade streaked through the air in a graceful parabolic line, hitting the boulder next to the supply crate with unmistakable accuracy.

It has to be said that the No. 1 can indeed be called a weapons expert, and can still hit accurately at a distance beyond the conventional limit range, which even many veterans in the army can't do.

"Boom!!"

The grenade exploded on the boulder, but when the smoke cleared, the five found that the boulder had barely been damaged.

"Fack! What's going on?! This is a high-explosive grenade with added materials, how can it not even blow up a stone! Number One yelled swearing.

"It's not a boulder, insects build their nests and their secretions are mixed into the soil, and when they solidify, they are much stronger than ordinary rocks." Number Two said.

"Don't talk about that, those bugs flew out!" Three suddenly let out an exclamation.

I saw a black cloud of changing shapes form above the boulder, and then rushed towards the location of the five people at a rapid pace.

"Damn the worms, give me death!" One quickly reloaded the second grenade, then pulled the trigger again.

"Boom!!"

The grenade exploded directly in front of the black cloud composed of insect swarms, swallowing nearly one-fifth of the black cloud at once, but at this time, this black cloud was only less than two hundred meters away from the five people.

"It's a mutant wasp...... This time we really stabbed the hornet's nest......" No. 2 smiled bitterly, the best way to deal with this kind of thing is a flamethrower, but the flamethrower has a short range and needs to carry a heavy fuel tank, and none of the five people chose this seemingly completely useless weapon.

"I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of mutant hornets in this swarm! Didn't the instructor say that only 3,500 mutated creatures were put in? Four hurriedly propped up the dragon scale plate, and Number One mounted the MG4 machine gun on the firing port of the dragon scale plate and began to fire violently at the swarm.

"I'm afraid...... I'm afraid they counted the whole hive as 'one'......" The second has only one large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand, which is useless when facing the swarm.

At this moment, Qi Lin suddenly threw out a metal cylinder, and with a "bang" sound, a large cloud of white smoke just shrouded the swarm of bees that rushed over inside.

"It's tear gas!" No. 4 was stunned, and then as if he had suddenly realized, he quickly dragged off a tear gas bomb and a smoke bomb from his waist, pulled the pull ring, and threw it vigorously in front of him-

"Bang! Boom! "Two more clouds of smoke exploded......
