Chapter 56: The Cave

"What's the situation? Say it quickly! Xue Mingyi said urgently.

Cheng Hao said: "The demonized locusts have already opened up part of their spiritual intelligence, which can be seen from the means of sonic resonance. It's not impossible if there is a demon locust that has more spiritual intelligence, or has evolved into a demon locust whose IQ is not inferior to that of humans..."

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect that desert locusts have been infiltrating China for some time, since the start of Pakistan a month ago, at least how long... It's hard to estimate. And based on the tragedy here, it is necessary to prepare for the worst... It may have evolved into the Worm King here! Cheng Hao said.

"What do you mean... Desert locusts have a way of stealing their way here, secretly eating people, and with their gluttonous greed, they will eat every drop of blood without leaving a trace. And the tragedy here is like the massacre of the city in Pakistan, which was done because he wanted to evolve the insect king? Xue Mingyi said.

Cheng Hao nodded and said, "Of course, this is just my guess." ”

Xue Mingyi directly took out his mobile phone, called the Ministry of Information, and began to investigate the missing people in the last month.

Then he squatted on the ground and rubbed his face twice, and said with a wry smile: "I have to admit that your kid's insight is really strong... If my chief of staff had been less conceited, so many people would not have died. ”

Cheng Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "The occurrence of locust plagues is a natural phenomenon, and we have a population of more than seven billion human beings, and nature is the first to bear the brunt. Their killing is also a wake-up call for each and every one of us... In the face of every disaster, there is always someone who has to sacrifice... In order to allow more people to live!

Okay, I'll look around and see if I can find any clues. ”

Xue Mingyi smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth and waved him to go.

After Cheng Hao flashed out of the magic circle, he looked at the sun that was slanting westward, like the wind, flying towards the north.

In a moment, Cheng Hao was already in the field eighteen kilometers away, standing on a raised platform, looking around, a withered yellow leaf was bleak, and there was a forest with lost leaves in the distance.

Ran Min appeared beside Cheng Hao, a man who was usually as powerful and domineering as steel and iron, and he couldn't help but ruddy his eyes here. Leaned down, picked up a handful of soil with both hands, buried a face in it, and deeply sucked the "aroma" of the soil!

Cheng Hao said: "Heavenly King, is this the place where you ascended the throne and became the emperor?" ”

Ran Min raised his head, put this piece of soil into the storage artifact, and said: "Yes, back then, Lao Tzu set up the only banner of the Han people in the north here - Great Wei!"

Yes, here it is... I have already felt the kind of ghost king power that Xiang Kunlun said that is comparable to divine power! ”

Cheng Hao said: "Then let's start, I'm very short on time." ”

Ran Min slapped Cheng Hao on the back of the head and scolded, "Are you fucking stupid? I don't know that Lao Tzu is now an undead... It's broad daylight, or in the afternoon when the yang energy is at its peak, what's the matter, you want me to die early? ”

After Cheng Hao was beaten and staggered, he was on fire: You can't fucking rely on your seniority and strong force, you can scold if you want to fight! But then I was scolded and lost my temper, and I really forgot about it...

Touching the back of his head, he said, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Ran Min said: "Go back, come back at midnight." ”

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you need to make some preparations?" For example, what kind of formation map is drawn, and then a seven-star platform is built, and there are flags planted around it or something? ”

Ran Min said angrily: "You should make a movie, don't use it." Let's go, go back, the sun monster is sunburning. ”

"Then why were you in a hurry to let me come over just now, I'm nervous," Cheng Hao muttered.

Ran Min's old face suddenly became a little unbearable, but in fact, he himself forgot that he was an undead body... Then he glared at the two big eyes of copper bells and shouted: "Step on it in advance, don't you know?" What if you run the wrong way at night and delay your business! ”

Cheng Hao was yelled at at him, too lazy to take care of him, you can sense the place where the destiny of heaven returns, how can you run the wrong way... It's just sick! Could it be that people with high force value are loud voices?

Regardless of Ran Min, who was still roaring behind him, he turned back, and Ran Min stopped the mouth cannon mode. Don't say it, whether it's done right or not, yell at him first, and you can overwhelm him in momentum.

Then he looked around again, turned into a wisp of green smoke and chased Cheng Hao away.

Around the small village where he was killed in Anyan City, he wandered back and forth a few times before returning to the small village.

Xue Mingyi's face was a little weird at the moment, was he happy or worried?

Seeing Cheng Hao coming back, he handed him the spiritual letter in his hand.

Cheng Hao took it over and took a look, it turned out that the Information Department of the Jizhou Division had completed the screening, and there were more than 100 bloody and missing cases in the entire state, but it was basically determined that it was committed by people. In other words, Cheng Hao's conjecture just now does not match the facts and is wrong.

Cheng Hao was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "What about Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, do they have them over there?" ”

Xue Mingyi shook his head and said, "No, the murder and disappearance cases are basically the same as in previous years. And I went out of his way to talk to other states on the phone, and they haven't found any desert locusts there. It seems that the demon locust did not evolve in Huaxia to eat people. ”

Cheng Hao's brows furrowed, and he couldn't figure out this context after thinking for a moment: If the desert locust didn't evolve in Huaxia to eat people, but after it evolved in Pakistan, it flew thousands of miles away to China, plus the demon locust was so big and there were so many in number, it was impossible that it would not be discovered.

If the smaller ones are transferred in batches, they may not be discovered, but they will evolve to eat people... No one was found missing or dead, except for this one that happened early this morning.

But the demon locusts seen from the surveillance are already the size of three or four people... This again explains a different way...

Cheng Hao grabbed his hair in distress, could this locust have evolved by drinking air?

Wait, drink the air ... Cannibalism... Eating alive... Is it okay to eat the dead?

Cheng Hao immediately told Xue Mingyi about this absurd idea, and even he was shocked, could it be that locusts even eat this?

The two widened their eyes and looked at each other in a daze for a long time, Xue Mingyi said, "You really dare to think about it!" In this case, this task of exploration will be handed over to you, and if there is any situation, report to me immediately, and give me your mobile phone. ”

Cheng Hao's expression froze, and he handed over the phone with a smile and said, "This is not very good... I'm just an outsider, your Jizhou Division's territory... Hey, hey, don't go! ”

After Xue Mingyi saved his number, he threw it directly to Cheng Hao, and then got up and left, Cheng Hao couldn't help but be speechless, his brain, all whimsical ideas jumped out!

Hey, isn't this a chance to do your own thing tonight? Hey!

Cheng Hao immediately picked up his mobile phone, slipped a cigarette, and ran out.

The Chinese people generally believe that after death, people are buried in the earth. Therefore, in addition to the city choosing cremation, most rural people still choose burial.

So Cheng Hao could only start from the mass graves in the countryside, apologize to the tomb owner one by one, and kept muttering: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean to disturb it, it's really a bit weird this locust plague, I have to come to Guibao to investigate, don't blame it..."

So he used his spiritual power to look through the mound to see if there were any holes dug by locusts, and gnaw the corpses clean...

I touched the tip of the moon in a row, tossed and turned several places, and once I was almost used as a tomb robber and a corpse, so that the lovely villagers ran away with shovels... Fortunately, I didn't find any signs of locusts, so I breathed a sigh of relief, although I didn't eat at night, but after looking at the corpses for so long, it was strange to have an appetite.

In the darkness of the night, fly to the place you have been during the day.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, and he took it out to see that it was a text message from Xia Ling reporting his safety, and asked him how he was doing by the way.

Cheng Hao saw that the time was still early, so he landed on a blood-red maple tree in a mountain forest, leaned on the trunk and made a phone porridge with Xia Ling, it was time to relax.

Xia Ling and the others advanced dozens of kilometers today, destroying six swarms of locusts with a scale of more than 100,000, and her martial arts and combat skills are becoming more and more proficient...

Suddenly, Cheng Hao heard a rustling sound, at first he thought it was the sound of the wind blowing against the leaves, but the sound became louder and louder, Cheng Hao realized that something was wrong, and quickly ended the call, and after quickly sending a text message, he held his breath and remained motionless like a statue.

The rustle is accompanied by a clattering sound!

This is... The sound of locusts flapping their wings!

Fortunately, Cheng Hao was dressed in spiritual clothes, isolating his popularity, and his eyes looked into the distance without blinking.

The sound got louder and closer, and finally, a desert locust the size of a red little thumb jumped onto the maple leaf in front of Cheng Hao's eyes, and it gobbled it up.

Cheng Hao can guarantee that he has never watched the whole process of animals eating, chewing and swallowing so closely as he does now.

I don't know if I'm dazzled, Cheng Hao always feels that after eating the maple leaves, the red on the locusts is getting more and more red!

Wait, such a small locust is red?

One locust after another gnawed on the maple leaves, and in less than two hours, they ate one-third of the leaves of this maple forest!

Then they no longer continued to eat, but returned to the ground one after another, and then the red on their bodies slowly faded, and turned into the black of the night!

Cheng Hao's pupils suddenly widened, obediently, the locusts will change color! It seems that this makes sense, and the desert locusts came to China by constantly changing color and confusing people's vision.

So why not nibble on the maple leaves? Cheng Hao picked a handful of maple leaves and put them away. Since the locusts eat this, maybe it will be useful.

Then, not far away, a swarm of black locusts flapped their wings and flew close to the ground, sinking into a small hidden hole in an inconspicuous mountain.

Cheng Hao followed here, watching them fly in from the one-person-wide hole, and sure enough, they were hiding underground.

looked at the time, it was more than ten o'clock, there were still two hours before midnight, and it should be too late to go in to see, so Cheng Hao waited for the locusts to fly in one by one, and then leaned over and drilled in.

It was pitch black inside, and Cheng Hao could see secretly by focusing his spiritual power on his eyes.

The walls of the cave were wet and sticky, like green locust blood, and there was a strange smell.

Cheng Hao flashed his suspicions, and crawled inside, the cave was dug zigzag and stretched downward, about half an hour, Cheng Hao estimated that he had reached two or three hundred meters underground at this moment, and he dug it deep enough.

Cheng Hao put his ear on the wall of the cave, and a clear clicking sound came, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, not far away... Hey? How did it come from behind?

Could it be that another group is flying over?

Cheng Hao didn't have time to think about it, so he carefully controlled his spiritual power to dig out a space on the cave wall that could accommodate him, put the excess mud and stone into the storage magic weapon, and after he got in, he restored the original piece of the cave wall to its original position.
