Chapter 418: Chrysanthemum Worm
Spring City belongs to the southwest plateau area, the surrounding area is mountainous, and the transportation is inconvenient. During the 100 years of peace before the Third World War, a series of road infrastructure was finally built, but after the war, distortions were raging, and large areas became no man's land, which has been almost destroyed, and only some traces can be seen in the barren grass and rocks, as well as the collapsed mountain ruins.
In this kind of territory, the maglev flying car in the city is not practical, and the shuttle and other aerospace vehicles also have to face the impact of flying distortions, and there is a possibility of hitting a mountain at any time. Therefore, most of the people who eat here still choose traditional and solid off-road vehicles, with some auxiliary modules such as maglev plug-ins, which can cope with most situations.
At this time, on the gentle slope of a certain mountain peak, a small convoy of three off-road vehicles, about a dozen people, was carefully arranging instruments and equipment to monitor the surrounding environment.
The man in the lead was tall and stout, with a small size, wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket and tweed trousers, quite strong. But at the same time, he is also an expert in controlling instruments and equipment, commanding in the crowd, asking his companions to install equipment in various locations, and every instruction is clear and clear, and the scene is busy but not chaotic.
Some people are willing to play the role of doglegs, and they praise again and again: "It is worthy of being from the field army, with Brother Bao you here, we are called targeted!" ”
"Shut up...... What was that? ”
"Huh?"
Brother Bao frowned and listened. After a few seconds, his face became even more ugly: "Which family's stupidity!" Don't you see the Rolling Dragon logo? Lao Tzu used the maglev module to move it little by little......"
At this time, many people present had already heard the vibration of the motor engine, and of course, the most harsh was the sound of the body of the car rubbing against the bad road surface.
"Southwest, not from the city."
The person in charge of remote monitoring raised his hand to inform that Brother Bao moved over when he heard this, and through the monitoring equipment, he saw an earth dragon rolling in and returning from the southwest wilderness.
The area around Spring City is in the dry season that has not been encountered for many years, and the dust and grass are flying, and it is not very real, and it can only be seen that it does not look like a large vehicle.
"It's not like a long-distance traveler."
"It could be that someone from the team is back to the city for a while?"
As he spoke, the surveillance equipment finally captured a little detail, which was a small off-road motorcycle, alone.
Brother Bao scolded in a low voice: "Send him a signal, if you want to live, you will take a detour, and your head will crash in, even if you can save your life, you will want him to compensate us for our losses." ”
Dogleg lost no time in exclaiming again: "Brother Bao is exquisite, if you want me, you will directly ask him to add a dish to the rolling dragon." ”
"What nonsense, signal quickly...... Ouch my grass! ”
Brother Bao shouted loudly, and in the previous front line, in the monitoring painting, before the rolling earth dragon, the dry and hard ground suddenly exploded, and a large pit with a diameter of more than three meters appeared, and the splashing earth and stones made a noise, and what was even more terrifying was that in the depths of the giant pit, it was like a strange giant flower, which was spliced by dozens or hundreds of slender tentacles, and the center sprayed out a light blue mist, which swallowed the off-road motorcycle at the front end of the earth dragon in a blink of an eye.
"Shit rolling dragon, this is a chrysanthemum worm!"
Brother Bao's face turned blue, he called up the topographic map, looked at it again, and gave himself a slap in the face: "I'm so stupid, there's obviously an underground river!" Isn't this the favorite place of the chrysanthemum bug? It's a trap, get out! ”
He raised his voice suddenly: "The fifth elder reports to the branch and informs the city defense army...... Evacuate everyone! ”
The chrysanthemum insect is one of the most famous B-class aberrant species in the area around Spring City, with a threat of "B-". It lives underground all year round and has an extremely high IQ, which can simulate the sounds and secretions of several low-level aberrant species such as the Rolling Dragon, luring other predators, including those with human abilities, to take the bait and then kill and devour them on a large scale.
If this type of distortion is too close to the city, it may pass through the sewage pipes, break through the city defenses, and cause major unrest. So in the city defense system, this guy is always at the top of the list.
It must be too late to think about these now, and Brother Bao doesn't care about any "exquisiteness", looking at the appearance of the chrysanthemum insects, their hunting team has simply walked away from the ghost gate. If it hadn't been for the biker's bait, in a few minutes, their small team would have been stuffed and swallowed.
"That, go back and collect your corpse...... Thick burial! ”
"Brother Bao is benevolent!"
A slap on the head of the dog's legs, Brother Bao roared and told his brothers to flee back: "Withdraw and retreat, throw away all the instruments." The radius of the chrysanthemum worm's hunting area is fifty kilometers, and if you run slowly, you have to wait to be digested! ”
More than a dozen members of the hunting team swarmed into three off-road vehicles, and at this time, it was impossible to use the slow maglev plug-in, but drove full horsepower and ran all the way down the rugged mountain road.
Brother Bao's car was postponed, and he felt that he was going to overturn several times, all with years of honed driving skills and intelligent systems to forcibly correct the deviation. Across the mountain, there was a muffled sound and a sharp sound on the opposite side, and the "zizi" sound that made people's scalp tingle was undoubtedly the sound of chrysanthemum insects. As for the pop......
"The motorcycle blew up."
Brother Bao turned his head to look back, and the side of the mountain seemed to light up, much like the afterglow of a thermal weapon.
Miserable, miserable!
Every year in Spring City, there are about 1,000 people in the "wilderness death index", among which there are also capable people who fill in it, and now there is another one.
Brother Bao remembered one more thing: "Pay attention to the bottom of the car, refer to the topographic map, and avoid the underground dark river for me." The chrysanthemum insect passes through the water, the speed is not slower than that of the car, and it can also spray poisonous mist......"
As he was shouting, the dogleg next to him screamed: "Worm, here comes from above!" ”
Brother Bao turned back in shock, and saw that on the mountain, dozens of slender tentacles were flying, occasionally crossing the mountain barrier, undulating. It's not a normal number, but it's even more terrifying.
Brother Bao scolded, but there was no other way but to yell: "Speed up, speed up!" ”
On the off-road vehicle he was in, the driver was an experienced veteran, and based on visual inspection alone, he deduced the approximate speed of the pursuers in the rear, and immediately howled in despair: "The speed over there is at least 200 kilometers per hour, this is unreasonable!" ”
"That's!"
Brother Bao roared back, if the chrysanthemum insect can run at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour on the ground, its threat level is definitely not B-, even if the branch and the city defense army are dispatched, they will kill these perverted deviants!
Brother Bao's mind flashed trivial thoughts that did not help the current situation at all, but when he turned his head to look at the flying tentacles, his mind was already blank.
At this time, there was a bang in front, the most square off-road, finally could not withstand the test of accelerating drag racing on the rugged mountain road, the whole ground turned over, if it was not for the high-priced purchase of off-road more leather, the people on the car were agile, and the intelligent attitude correction was also made up, This is a tragedy that fell straight down the cliff and the car was destroyed and killed.
But in this way, the cars in front of the narrow mountain road blocked the back cars, and any retreat became a joke. At the same time, even greater tragedies are clearly catching up.
Brother Bao's brain exploded, and he forcibly held down the stupid words of "rush over", and a certain thought rushed out:
Lao Tzu can't embarrass Captain Qiu!
In the next second, he roared "save people". There were two off-road emergency brakes in the back, and Brother Bao didn't wait for the car to stop, so he jumped down, pulled a few companions who had just gotten up from the ground, and rose up with brute force to force the overturned off-road to right. Let the wounded with inconvenient legs and feet sit in other cars first:
"The car behind passes quickly...... Hurry up, fire it! ”
The driver of the car in front was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to check the condition of the car at the first time, Brother Bao saw that his scalp was numb, rushed over and pushed him away, and forcibly ignited the fire.
Thank God for the ancestors, the high-power retrofit motor for off-road is no problem, and the instantaneous self-test of the intelligent system is no problem.
At this time, the two cars that passed quickly had already run a few hundred meters away. And Brother Bao turned around again, and the flying tentacles of the chrysanthemum insect completely crossed the peak and ran over to this side.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Brother Bao directly grabbed the driver's position, beckoned everyone to get into the car, and without waiting for them to sit down, he stepped on the accelerator sharply, and the car roared forward, but only grabbed ten meters, the wind whistled overhead, and the fluttering tentacles rode the wind, and even pulled the broken windshield......
In the next second, the body of the chrysanthemum worm weighed at least two tons and slammed heavily on the ground twenty meters ago, and the off-road vehicle braked sharply, but it still couldn't stop and hit it hard. Fortunately, the huge flesh and whiskers in front of it were not hard enough, and the off-road vehicle seemed to have hit a sponge, so it didn't cause a more serious accident.
"Reverse, reverse!"
The original driver sitting in the co-pilot screamed like crazy, Brother Bao had already cut the reverse gear, but the accelerator was never stepped on.
The chrysanthemum insect in front of it was lying on the ground, its tentacles still twitching, and it still had a slight smell of meat, and the smell molecules penetrated the broken windshield and blew along with the dry mountain wind - this look, except for its size, it looked more like a half-grilled anemone.
Brother Bao's eyes didn't blink, staring at the huge piece of meat in front of him.
At this time, the roar of the rear motor sounded, belonging to a certain off-road motorcycle, and a few seconds later, the other party stopped steadily on the side of the off-road vehicle, and the cold metallic luster pierced into the eye.
Brother Bao, who had just retired from the army, naturally saw at a glance that it was a set of exoskeleton armor, if the model was ...... How is it more like a "non-commissioned officer X-2" anthropomorphic robot?
Retrofits?
The metal armor covered the other party's face and figure, and Brother Bao couldn't guess the way at all, so he could only follow the simplest thinking to consider: "You are...... Soldier? ”
There was no response from the other side.
Brother Bao asked stupidly again, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Behind the metal visor, a buzzing voice finally came out: "Do me a favor." ”
"Hey, you say." Brother Bao's mind finally turned around, and he killed the chrysanthemum worm alone, he must be a B-level powerhouse, and there are no more than ten characters like this in Spring City, so he must definitely have respect.
"Jackets, and pants."
"Gah?"
"By the way, use your sunglasses too."
Half a minute later, Brother Bao obediently handed over his outfit.
The motorcyclist nodded, and pointed to the chrysanthemum insect in front of him: "This is for you to dispose of." ”
said, and gave Brother Bao a thumbs up, which should mean to express gratitude. With a roar, the off-road motorcycle sped away on the mountain road.
Brother Bao, there is a whole load of people who are stunned.
A few minutes later, the dogleg phone called: "Brother Bao, Brother Bao, why did you drive that motorcycle?" ”
"Fuck your head!"
