295 There's something underground
"I think there must be a very powerful bug in the swarm, it's not an ordinary bug, it may be intelligent, so it just spotted us and gave us a warning?" These are Nanxing's guesses, in fact, Nanxing has another guess in her heart, but she can't tell Ning Yi to listen.
Since getting the Book of Genesis, Nanxing's process of finding the pages, although there are some twists and turns, but there is not much danger, in general, some of those pages may be a little naughty, but they can all be classified as good.
But just now Nanxing clearly felt an undisguised killing intent, and it was not aimed at everyone, Nanxing could be sure that the killing intent was aimed at himself, combined with the fact that the pages were in the swarm, Nanxing was seventy percent sure that the killing intent should be emitted by the pages.
A long time ago, the black cat said that the pages of the book are not all good, and some of them don't want to be recycled, but Nanxing has never encountered it, and thought it was the black cat alarmist, and now it has been encountered in this world, and Nanxing found that the description of the black cat is really small and fresh compared to the real situation.
Ning Yi nodded, "I naturally believe in your judgment, but what people have always tacitly agreed is that insects only rely on instinct, and there is nothing that can be called wisdom, we have no evidence now, if you rashly say that there are intelligent insects controlling the insect swarm, I am afraid that the people in the settlement will not believe it." ”
"Captain Ning, have you forgotten about the brain-eating worm? Do you think brain-eating worms are intelligent? Nanxing's words were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, setting off ripples in Ning Yi's heart.
"If that's the case, it's even less likely to be publicized in the settlement, and if it's a swarm or a swarm of intelligent bugs that controls the swarm, then the brain-eating bugs may be the advance force of the swarm. It seems that after returning to the settlement, I will report to Li Chen alone again. ”
Nanxing thought for a while and said: "I think it's best for us to choose to relocate to the airport settlement, S County is too close to the settlement." ”
"I'll tell Li Chen about this idea, but the possibility of passing through is very small, and now I can't find a better location than the airport."
"Then look for it ......in the distance," Nanxing said and stopped, knowing that it was unrealistic for her to say this, "then the management of the settlement must strengthen the protection of the settlement, and it is best to set up all kinds of weapons to kill insects in a large area." ”
……
In the evening of the next day, Ning Yi and the others came to the Beichang Logistics Park, and Lao Wang and the others also arrived here at about the same time.
"Lao Wang, is there any progress in the Lavender Nursery Research Laboratory now?" After Ning Yi knew that the insects might have intelligence, he paid more attention to the research results of the research room over there.
"I don't understand, let me say it, although he was born in agriculture, he has even entered the laboratory."
Lao Ba: "The progress of the research room is still quite fast, and several mutated organs of insects have been isolated so far, and some means of attack and defense have been given according to these mutated organs, and I have asked Yunyun to put it away." Captain Ning can find Yun Yun if you want to see it. In addition, the brains of the laboratory found that some bugs began to evolve towards a silicon-based form. ”
"Silicon-based form? Doesn't it mean that there are only carbon-based organisms in the universe? Murong remembered this vividly.
Lao Ba nodded, "The bugs were originally carbon-based creatures, but in a sample we gave to the research laboratory, Zhi Brain found that part of the insect's body had been converted into a silicon-based form, if it wasn't killed by someone, then it was likely that after a period of time, it would completely become a silicon-based form." ”
"If it converts to a silicon-based form, will there be any other changes?" Nanxing asked.
"That's what I'm trying to say. Now we have built a colony based on reinforced concrete buildings to protect against insects, but if all the insects become silicon-based, then our colonies will no longer be safe, because the worms in the silicon-based form can theoretically decompose these materials. ”
Ning Yi didn't expect that after a small piece of good news, it would be such heavy bad news.
Nanxing didn't expect that these insects still had the ability to transform forms, she glanced at Ning Yi and asked for Ning Yi's consent.
Ning Yi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Nanxing organized the language for a while, and then shared the situation they found in their exploration of the insect swarm with Lao Wang and them.
"Wouldn't it? Are bugs intelligent? Just their lost brain capacity? Yuan Xiaoliang pinched his little finger with his thumb and gestured.
Nanxing sighed, "Although I hope this is fake, I do feel the malice in the swarm, or the killing intent. Also, as we left the foothold of Yangmaqiao, I noticed that the swarm might have started to move towards our location. ”
This was not what Nanxing felt, but what she saw on the map in her mind, the red dot was significantly closer to her position, although not by much amplitude, but closer was closer. Nanxing didn't want to hide the fact that the swarm was approaching, she knew that if it was really the arrival of the swarm, if she didn't say anything, she would definitely kill a lot of people.
"Lao Wang, you drive Yuan Xiaolang with you, let's go to Yangmaqiao to have a look, Nanxing's sixth sense is still relatively accurate, in case the swarm really moves, we have to rush back to the settlement immediately to report." Ning Yi quickly made arrangements, "The others are on standby. ”
Luo Yunyun wanted to keep up but felt that it was not the right time, and finally just told everyone to pay attention to safety.
The dust raised by the off-road vehicle gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and everyone's mood was a little heavy, if the swarm really moved this way, then would it attack the settlement? Nobody knows.
……
Three hours later, Ning Yi and the others returned.
Brought back bad news.
The insect swarm is really moving towards the horse breeding bridge, and the insects that were originally scattered around the horse breeding bridge are not even visible, and from time to time you can see that there are insects converging in the direction of the original insect swarm.
However, there is also good news, the swarm seems to be moving very slowly, and judging by the distance from Yangma Bridge to the airport settlement, if the swarm moves at its current speed, it will be two to three months before they reach the location of the settlement.
The news had to be sent back to the settlement immediately, and regardless of the danger of driving at night, everyone in the human weapons hunting team got into the car separately, and then the two cars ran wildly in the twilight, heading towards the airport settlement.
Driving at night is very dangerous, and there are many bugs that are not active during the day, but become very active at night.
While passing through a river and tidal flat, Zheng Xin discovered the situation and stopped the two cars.
Zheng Xin said on the walkie-talkie: "There is something in the ground in front of you, it may be a stinging snake and worm." ”
Stinging snakes like to hide underground, attacking through huge tentacles, and the piercing is the same kind of bugs, but their habits are still slightly different, but both are insects that like water, like this riverside tidal flats are most prone to stinging snakes.
If Ning Yi hadn't wanted to return to the settlement as soon as possible, he wouldn't have chosen to take this shortcut. Just when Ning Yi wanted to make a detour, there was a faint vibration on the ground.
