Chapter 36: Mutant Creatures 1 (Thanks to Momo Small Pot for Reward)
Annan country, Haifang Port, the former port has been abandoned, and far from the underground shelter of the port, there are tens of thousands of people living in it, but the bottom people inside are living very poorly, basically they can only guarantee that they can live, and they can't starve to death.
And in a luxurious room inside the shelter, the general in charge of guarding this area was working, and suddenly, there was a knock on the door,
"Report! General, there is an emergency report"
"Take a break! What an emergency"
"Report to the General! The 2nd and 10th Squads, which were out on patrol, did not return to the shelter by the appointed time, and were sent to inspect them, only two squads were found near the port, and a large amount of blood and fragments of protective clothing remained at the scene."
"Did the intelligence find out what was going on? Is it hostile? ”
"General, the intelligence department reported that they also lost a few people, according to the report of a person who escaped back, they were not attacked by people, but by animals, but when people came back, they were too seriously injured and could not be rescued, so they only knew that animals attacked humans, but according to common sense, it is now the severe cold of the outside world, and ordinary creatures cannot survive in the outside world at all, so the intelligence department has sent several waves of people to investigate, but strangely no one has returned, This time, the disappearance of the two teams is inferred to be similar to this situation. ”
The general thought for a moment and ordered: "Order! The whole army has entered a state of second-level combat readiness, organized elite squads, and together with the intelligence department, to conduct searches near the place of disappearance and ascertain the specific situation as soon as possible. ”
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
——
And just a few hours ago, the 2nd and 10th squads were conducting daily patrols on the ground, wearing ordinary protective clothing, which only had the function of keeping warm and providing some oxygen, and the team followed the established patrol route to a temporary stronghold, where they took a short rest,
This temporary stronghold is backed by a dead forest, and the forest behind it is no longer as lush as it used to be, and there are only trees hidden by snow as far as the eye can see.
At this time, a team member and the captain said, ready to go out to solve the three emergencies, this team member came to the edge of the woods, opened the urine valve on the protective suit, and began to fire at the snow, after solving it, shook a wit, and was about to go back, suddenly vaguely felt that something in the snow in the distance was moving quickly, the soldier thought he was dazzled, wiped the glass on the helmet, and found that there was indeed something in the snow that was approaching quickly, before he could react, A large black half-human-tall ant rushed out of the snow directly, and the scythe limbs on the side of the mouthparts in front pierced him directly, and then the two legs in front of him directly hugged up and down and quickly dragged it back.
The team resting in the makeshift stronghold only heard a scream and a gunshot outside, and then there was no movement.
After hearing the screams, the captain and the team quickly went out of the stronghold to see what was going on, only to see a black shadow in the distance quickly moving away, and a gun was thrown on the ground not far away, and there was a pool of blood and some rags not far from the gun, and a trail of dragged trails extended into the woods next to it,
When the captain saw this, he immediately asked the two team members to stay here, while he led the other team members to start searching inside, and the two team members who stayed behind watched the captain and the other members of the team gradually move away, and suddenly felt that this white forest was like a black hole, devouring the people who went in one by one.
Then the two continued to hold on to the stronghold, but it didn't take long to hear gunshots in the distance, short and intense, but after a short period of gunshots, no movement was heard anymore, the two who stayed behind looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and one of them said a little nervously, "Do we still have to wait here?" ”
The other looked outside and said, "Wait for the captain and them to come back, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, if we haven't come back at four o'clock, let's go back and report first,"
The person who spoke at first nodded, feeling that it made sense, and then the two of them looked at the direction of the captain's departure in the distance and waited, but it didn't take long for them to feel that something was approaching around them, and as the surrounding snow kept rolling, the two people held the gun in their hands tightly, and then, the two saw the big black ant rushing out of the snow, and the moment they saw the ant, the two were stunned, they had never seen such a big ant, and just when the two were stunned, the giant ant quickly approached, Poked the two directly with their mouthparts, and waited until the severe pain came, before they remembered to shoot, and with a few gunshots, the two could be seen from a distance being directly dismembered by several ants, and the white ground was stained red with blood, and then several ants returned to the depths of the jungle with their respective booty.
The 10th squad on the other side, when the second squad was wiped out, had just started from the shelter, and as time passed, when several people from the 10th squad approached the stronghold where the second squad was located, they saw a large area of red on the edge of the stronghold, and the captain felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered everyone to stay on guard, and then slowly approached the temporary stronghold.
When everyone arrived at the temporary stronghold, they found that the stronghold was well preserved, and the red ice cubes on the ground did not know what they were for the time being, the captain stepped forward and began to check the scene, and found that there were some rags next to it, and the captain knew at a glance that it was the fabric of the patrol team's protective clothing, so the red ice cubes on the ground were probably formed after the blood froze.
The captain immediately stood up, ordered the team members to be vigilant, and informed the second team of the possible killing, so that the team members found the abnormal situation and shot directly, now at this time there is only one official team outside, if the second team is attacked, then the attacker is likely to ambush nearby.
When the team members were on alert, the scene was silent, and after a while, with a rustling sound of gradually approaching rubbing, everyone cheered up, and found that it was not far away from the snow, and there were more than one place, in all directions,
Seeing this situation, the captain knew that it was not good, and immediately gave an order
"Everyone! Fire! Shoot freely and rely on a temporary base to stop your enemies! ”
After receiving the order, everyone immediately opened fire, and the many surging snowdrifts in the snow stopped moving, but there were too many around, and only relying on a patrol team of less than ten people, and they were all light weapons, they could not form an effective fire suppression at all,
Soon, the first ant rushed out of the snowdrift, and the members of the team also saw this huge creature, and the captain immediately understood that the second team was attacked by this creature.
While firing while observing the situation around the subject, seeing the snowdrifts that kept pouring in the distance, the captain knew that he and the others might be in danger, but the captain was unwilling and still wanted to fight, as long as one person broke out, he could bring a large army over to destroy this group of beasts for so long,
Subsequently, the captain gave the order to break through along the way he came, but because the delay was a bit long, and the ammunition he carried was not much, so in the end he still did not achieve the purpose of breaking through, and was consumed alive by a group of ants on this frozen soil, and the casualties of the ant army were not very large, only dozens of ants died, as the injured ants gnawed away the corpses of the dead ants, at the wound of the ants, began to grow filamentous objects, and the wounds were gradually wrapped by filamentous objects, and the filamentous objects began to turn black, By the time the ants arrived at the nest with the trophies, the lightly injured ants had recovered to their original state, but although they were all black, when they got closer, they could see that the carapace at the wound was still a little different from the surroundings.
And when the scheduled time came, the second team had not returned to the shelter, and they did not pay much attention to it, after all, it was walking on foot, and it was normal for something to be delayed on the road, but when the tenth team had not returned, they realized the seriousness of the problem, so they sent people to search along the patrol route, and finally found the stronghold of the accident.
