Chapter 23: The Situation Has Changed (Double Change Votes)
In the vegetable garden of the base, there was a pungent stench everywhere, which was the venom smell emitted by the emperor worm.
Jiang Jue came to the accident shed, the victim could no longer see his original appearance, the bones were corroded and blackened, she pursed her lips, did not stay too long, and stepped over his body.
In front of it is the pipe connection of a greenhouse, which is buried in the ground and the connection is above ground.
The pipe was half a meter wide in diameter, and the material looked like it was some kind of metal, but at this point the connection was destroyed, almost completely cut off, but the fracture was uneven.
The emperor worm has left, and there are traces of venom splashing on the ground and at the mouth of the pipe, sparsely scattered along the way, extending to the other direction, and there is still a faint white thing in the pipe.
She pulled out the armory shovel pinned to her waist and carefully pulled it out, a few eggshell-like shards.
Jiang Jue chuckled in his heart, this was clearly the eggs of the emperor worm!
"Girl! Are you in there or not? ”
Behind her, the voice of the veteran came, Jiang Jue hurriedly got up and went out, there were only the veteran and the young soldier in the radio room outside, as soon as the three of them met, she told them what she had found.
"Things may change, I just found fragments of Emperor Worm eggs in this pipeline." Jiang Jue showed them the white eggshells on the ordnance shovel, "All the greenhouse data is abnormal, and this is not a main pipeline, I suspect that there is a problem in more than this one." ”
The veteran and young soldiers glanced at each other, their expressions becoming ugly, and the latter said, "You mean there may be more than one or two emperor worms here?"
Jiang Jue nodded: "It's very possible, but don't worry too much, the emperor worm has only hatched, whether it is in size or combat power, it is not as good as an adult."
Her tone was calm, her face was calm, and the veteran couldn't help but be calmed by her aura, and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Jiang Jue: "I'll go find the emperor worm that ran out, you find an engineering truck to check the pipeline, be careful."
"Ah, wouldn't that be dangerous, the old king in front ......" The young soldier hesitated a little.
Jiang Jue shook the explosion-proof shield in his hand, "Don't worry too much, although this thing is heavy, the surface has been specially treated and has a certain corrosion resistance, as long as you are careful, there should be no big problem." ”
As she spoke, she smiled again: "And the venom of the emperor worm is not endless, maybe it will run out now."
The veteran nodded: "Got it, then you must be careful."
The young soldier stopped talking, and finally left with the veteran.
Jiang Jue pinned the armor shovel to his body again, took out a submachine gun, and held an explosion-proof shield to look for the emperor worm along the venom trail on the ground.
After walking about forty or fifty meters away, the traces on the ground almost disappeared, but the stench was very strong, and the emperor worm should not be far away.
She narrowed her eyes and fixed her gaze on the greenhouse in front of her, where the base's pig farm was located.
Emperor worms are complete meat eaters, requiring a large amount of meat protein from birth before metamorphosing into highly lethal adults.
took two steps forward, and suddenly a terrible pig cry came out in front of him, Jiang Jue's hand tightened, and he hurried over.
There is a hole less than half a meter high in the wall of the pig shed, and you can see the pig's hooves jumping and screaming inside.
Jiang Jue found a partition to block the hole, and then went around the gate next to him, and saw from a distance that something was wrong in the breeding pen near the hole, and many pigs jumped desperately out of the fence.
The pigs in the pens next to them also seemed to realize the danger coming, and they were so impatient that they circled around the pigsty, making a "hiss" cry from their mouths.
Jiang Jue quickly ran outside the pigsty where the accident occurred, and there was chaos inside, many pigs were stained with blood, running around like crazy, and the neighing almost broke through her eardrums.
She pulled out the ordnance shovel and used the small hook next to her to swipe the card group on the breeding pen door a few times, and the door opened in response, and a group of pigs scurrying like headless flies ran out.
All who could run had gone, and there were only seven or eight wounded pigs lying on the ground in the huge pen, some wailing, some silent and motionless.
Jiang Jue didn't see the figure of the emperor worm at first glance, and began to carefully look at these fat-headed and big-eared pigs on the ground, with fist-sized holes on their stomachs and bodies, trickling blood.
Suddenly, she noticed a very large pig in the corner of the wall, whose nose seemed to be still shuddering and breathing, and strange marks protruding from time to time on its round belly, as if something was rolling in it.
In just a few seconds, the pig's belly was rapidly enlarged, and the pigskin was stretched thin and bright, Jiang Jue quickly opened the submachine gun and fired six or seven shots in a row there.
There were hurried footsteps approaching behind him, and Jiang Jue saw out of the corner of his eye that it was the young soldier in the radio room before.
The other party was holding an explosion-proof shield, his steps were a little heavy, he ran to her and stopped, gasping and said, "I, I'll help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the strange pig, staying where he was, "That's the ...... It's ......"
The things inside were still tumbling, and a basketball-sized plier broke out of the skin, and Jiang Jue fired three more shots at the tongs.
The young soldier muttered, "It's ...... so fast"
The girl in front of her is very skilled in both the speed of the gun and the action, and this submachine gun has great stamina, a man like him has to hold the handle with both hands to keep the bullet from floating into the sky, but this girl actually holds a shield in one hand and shoots in the other, and she can still be so stable! He simply couldn't do it!
And the weight of this shield is a full 29 kilograms, and she can still keep the shield in one hand and move flexibly, which is simply unimaginable!
It seems that the veteran was right just now, this girl doesn't need help from others at all, she can fight in the ring from the interstellar competition, she must have something extraordinary.
After a few shots, the pincers were broken, and there was no movement in the pig's belly.
The young soldier muttered, "I thought it was so powerful, I would die so soon."
Jiang Jue reminded him, "Don't go over, this is already the semi-adult state of the emperor worm, and it won't die so easily." ”
She said as she raised her shield and stepped forward carefully, "Its lethal zone is under the skull, where its central nervous system is dense, but its skull is very hard......
Before Jiang Jue's words fell, the pig's belly exploded violently, and an emperor worm with a body more than half a human height and a meter long arched out of it, it only had one pincer left, and there were also a few bullet holes on its back, and the injury did not make it timid, but rushed towards her with teeth and claws.
The young soldier shouted, "Run, !!"
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Jiang Jue's speed was faster than it, shooting continuously while retreating, and the emperor worm was shot in front of the head, and the speed slowed down slightly, but he still did not die.
After the metamorphosis, the skull of the emperor worm is too hard!
The young soldier hurriedly threw away his blast shield and raised his gun to help, but the Emperor Worm moved a little fast, and several of his shots missed, only a few of them hitting its armor-hard body.
The wounded Emperor Worm angrily flicked its massive, barbed-covered barb, like a flying thorn jagged, and without warning it whipped towards the young soldier on his left.
Jiang Jue's eyes were quick and hit its tail, but then, an accident happened, her submachine gun lacked maintenance all year round, and it jammed after only two shots.
"! Be careful—"
The soldier couldn't dodge, and the blast shield was not in his hand, and he was suddenly hit in the arm, and the submachine gun in his hand flew out.
