Chapter 454: Beetles and Monkeys
Huzi kept slapping with his fan-like palm. The black beetle's shell is very hard, and the force of Huzi's slap is not small, but the black beetle is almost unharmed. The black beetle that was photographed down would crawl back on top of him without fear of death, causing him to panic. But he soon discovered that the beetle's sharp mouthparts could not pierce the flexible armor on his body, and he settled down and let them hang on his body.
Huzi is like wearing a black armor, majestic.
The Black Armor Warrior Huzi didn't panic, so he crouched down to check on the cause of his teammate's death. All eight died of poisoning, two had their faces bitten, and the others had wounds on their hands. The deceased's face was dark and the wound was swollen and black. Kuroko reported the situation.
The building has two suspended stairs. The suspended ladder burned by the fire phoenix has not been repaired, and the hall door on the tenth basement floor has been closed. The intact suspension ladder poured into a large number of black beetles, and it was naturally impossible for them to control the suspension button, they just used the suspension ladder as a passage, and at this time, thousands of beetles were climbing up the wall of the well. In a very short time, they had reached the second basement level.
The door to the hall on the third basement floor was forcibly opened, and Charizard activated her flying boots and flew in. Before the hall door was closed, nearly a hundred black beetles rushed out. Before they could disperse, spider silk fell from the sky, binding them and dragging them together. More spider silk is wrapped around the outside, bundled into white "balls of yarn" the size of a basin.
The guards gave a thumbs up to Spider-Man. In the end, it was the old-timers of the escort team, and the shot was extraordinary.
Charizard hovered in the middle of the suspended stairwell, his body spinning slowly, flames spewing out of his mouth continuously, crackling like corn kernels popping in an old-fashioned popcorn machine. The suspended stairwell was filled with an aroma similar to that of roasting, which made Charizard have a hint of appetite. However, he didn't have time to feast on his appetite at this time. The roasted beetles are falling down, and more beetles are crawling up.
Spitfire doll is like a worker on the assembly line, doing the spraying and baking operation step by step. With his work efficiency, it was not enough to create a beetle fault. When he turned, hundreds of beetles would fill the empty space he had just created and cross the line of defense and continue to climb upward.
Suddenly, Charizard caught a glimpse of a shadow in the afterglow. Charizard turned to look at the shadow.
To be precise, it should not be called a shadow, but a watermark, similar to the transparent logo that people mark ownership on electronic images. The "watermark" is attached to the wall of the well, completely transparent, and has a convex lens-like refraction of light at the edges, so that the beetle-like body below it looks somewhat distorted. The "watermark" is shaped like a monkey and has a very short tail at the end.
Charizard did not hesitate, and a fire dragon swooped down on the "watermark". Before the flames descended, the "Watermark" monkey crawled upwards at odd speed.
At this time, the door of the hall on the fourth basement floor was also opened. Luo Youcheng flew in with the fat camel, and the fat camel was held up by the power of the husband's mind, so she could stand up straight and spit comfortably this time. None of the black beetles escaped from the hall door, and all of them were wrapped up in a ball by the gentleman and sent to the fat camel.
Considering the large number of beetles, the fat camel cherishes saliva very much. She is like a high-quality sprayer, spraying a uniform and fine spray of saliva, which has the advantages of low water consumption and high insecticidal efficiency.
The gentleman was very cooperative in spreading the beetles flat, and after the fat camel sprayed the back, he immediately turned them over to make sure that the fat camel's saliva mist could "dirty" each beetle. A highly corrosive mist of saliva falls on the carapace, rattling. The "insecticide" of the fat camel is extremely effective, and it only takes two seconds for the beetle's legs to stiffen and completely lose its life.
As soon as the fat camel and the beetles were disposed of, Luo Youcheng's exuded mental power caught back more than a dozen of them, and the number of beetles in each group ranged from sixty or seventy to hundreds. They are sent to the fat camels in turn, and they are immediately discarded after being sprayed with "insecticide", and new bugs are sent in. This combination is extremely efficient, killing hundreds of beetles in a matter of seconds.
"Sir," Charizard was embarrassed to kill the insects, "I just saw a transparent monkey, I'll go take a look." ”
Luo Youcheng waved his hand at him, and the fire-breathing baby hurriedly flew upward, and barbecued some sporadic beetles halfway, and there were more than a hundred of them. As we passed the first floor, the hall door opened, and a fiery phoenix flew in, and the blazing flames turned dozens of beetles that tried to crawl out of the door into charcoal.
When Charizard saw this fierce woman, she hurriedly raised a floor.
"The fish that slipped through the net from the fourth basement to the top floor are all handed over to you, and you don't have to worry about the bottom floor, Mr. is there." After Spitfire finished speaking, she rushed to the computer room on the roof of the building without looking back.
The phoenix followed the fire-breathing baby and swayed up, spraying a thin amount of heat, roasting the fire-breathing baby's ass hot. It wasn't until the fire-breathing baby drilled into the machine room from the inspection tunnel that the fire phoenix stopped, flipped over, circled, and fell down in a flutter. Everywhere they passed, the black beetles became black charcoal insects, and they fell down with a puff, not far from the powder.
The wall of the well that had been burned by the phoenix fire was as smooth as new, and there was not a single eye-catching stain on it. It's just that it's hard to say whether it's magnetic or not.
When Huofeng descended to the fourth floor underground, he found that his brother-in-law and the fat camel were gone, and none of the insects below were alive, and a thick layer of insect corpses was piled up on the suspended ladder. The door of the hall on the tenth floor of the basement was reopened, and Phoenix estimated that his brother-in-law went to the tenth floor of the basement to kill insects, so he turned around and flew out of the hall door on the first floor.
Luo Youcheng and the fat camel helped Huzi clean up the black beetles on his body, and then looked at the eight dead team members with some sadness. As long as they are protected, these bugs are not much of a threat to the team members. But they died in their sleep for no apparent reason, under the mouthparts of the little bugs, very aggrieved.
Among them, there are two fire-breathing babies who are very optimistic about the good players, and there is also Wang Ge who Shi Xiangyun is optimistic about. Shi Xiangyun said that Wang Ge was careful and his brain was also active, and he suggested to Luo Youcheng in the afternoon that he be transferred to the security department as a deputy.
Huzi said he suspected that the beetle had crawled out of a deep pit beneath Kapili's cell. Luo Youcheng wanted to go down to have a look, and Huzi and the fat camel also wanted to accompany him, so Luo Youcheng wrapped them around them and flew down with his mental power.
The walls of the pit are covered with dense pipes, which are connected to the eight cells, which are not only the support pillars of the cells, but also responsible for transporting water, toxic smoke, anesthetic gases, and hallucinogenic gases. After flying down for about ten meters, the eyes could not see. Huzi turns on the wrist-type flashlight lighting.
The pit was about 70 meters deep, and Huzi found the electric switch on the cave wall. When the light dispels the darkness, the scene at the bottom of the pit comes into view. It's like a small chemical factory, with a smooth floor, a lot of equipment, a lot of canned liquids, and a lot of glass catheters that crisscross and stagger, which looks messy but has a pattern to follow.
"No wonder the cell can conjure up so many tricks." Fat Camel said she seemed interested, moving around the equipment.
Luo Youcheng and Huzi were also looking around, hoping to find the way the black beetle came from. They soon found a vent in the wall of a cave behind a device that was forty centimeters long and forty centimeters wide. The fence falls directly in front of the vent. It seems that the black beetle invaded from here.
Luo Youcheng issued a command through the monocle, and not long after, a suspension monitor entered the tenth floor underground through the suspended stairwell and entered the deep pit. Luo Youcheng's monocle matched the monitor and let it into the vent. The monitor flew out more than 20 meters and encountered a fork in the road. One pipe is vertically upward, while the other extends forward at an inclination of 5°.
The vertical should be a real ventilation duct, and the exit should be within the protective range of the canopy. After a little thought, Luo Youcheng chose the latter pipe, which was very long and straight. The monitor flew about 300 meters inside, and the pipe changed dramatically. The pipe wall is no longer a smooth material printed with building materials, but a soil wall. The soil is also damp and freshly excavated. The slope of the channel is also increasing, with an inclination of about 15°.
The monitor flew in this passage for ten minutes, and the speed was not fast, because Luo Youcheng wanted to see if he could find clues in the passage. The harvest was still there, and he saw a small lump of, very similar to human feces, much smaller.
Luo Youcheng immediately remembered the transparent monkey that Charizard said. He didn't care at the time, he thought it was a missing lab animal or a witch's Anomalous Beast. If the transparent monkey ran in from this passage, it could not but be taken seriously. Luo Youcheng immediately called Charizard and Knife Shop, telling them to make sure they found the transparent monkey and inspect all the vents to prevent beetles from invading from other places.
The exit of this newly excavated passage is two kilometers away, and a mountain of dirt has been piled up at the exit, like a giant termite nest. If you draw an extension of the channel, eight kilometres away is where the pigeons will stay.
Luo Youcheng suddenly understood what the purpose of the pigeon flock was here, this was a beetle transport team, and the black object on the belly of the pigeon that Wang Ge found was the black beetle clinging to the pigeon's claws. In terms of the number of beetles, each pigeon carries at least four beetles.
Luo Youcheng was annoyed that he was careless. Every step of the way Life Revival Company will definitely have their intentions. But what he couldn't figure out was that they wanted to wipe out all the people here with just nearly seven or eight thousand poisonous insects? Although poisonous insects can take advantage of people's sleep, there are no stairs in the basement, only the suspension ladder and the cage passage communicate with the upper floor. No one came down, the hall door didn't open, and the poisonous insects couldn't go upstairs at all.
"Could it be that the purpose of their pigeon whistle is to intimidate us and make us hide on the 10th floor underground?" Fat camel asked.
The fat girl's brain is still very useful, and her guess has some truth. In fact, the players were a little nervous when they heard the pigeon whistle, so the players who slept on the first floor last night all went into the basement today. The safest place to hide from a nuclear bomb is, of course, the ten underground floors. If it weren't for the eight light-sleeping teammates, the underground ten floors would be overcrowded. If so, it's the Great Terror.
When the three of them returned to the tenth basement floor, several smart housekeepers had already cleaned up the insect corpses inside and out, and were moving the bodies of the victims into the suspension ladder. Luo Youcheng did not start the suspension ladder, he made a college salute to the deceased, and flew directly up from the suspension ladder with Huzi and the fat camel.
When I returned to the monitoring and command room, I heard Shi Xiangyun complaining:
"Tell the phoenix, don't play with fire in the suspended stairwell in the future."
Luo Youcheng asked: "The suspended ladder well has been burned out again?" ”
"It's not bad, the magnetism of the wall has weakened, and the speed of the levitation ladder is about the same as that of a snail."
Luo Youcheng comforted: "Anyway, it won't be long before we withdraw, so let's use it." ”
Shi Xiangyun smiled helplessly, his younger brother wants to protect his sister-in-law, what can he do.
Luo Youcheng talked about his discovery at the bottom of the pit. Shi Xiangyun also agrees with the speculation of the fat camel, but he believes that the poisonous insects are only part of the life revival company's implementation of the eradication plan for the identification center, and the transparent monkey is also a link that cannot be ignored.
Luo Youcheng asked: "Has the transparent monkey been found?" ”
"The knife shop just picked up the witch and is taking her to find it." Shi Xiangyun said, "This prospective brother-in-law, his brain is still easy to use." It's not like Spitfire to engage in crowd tactics. The monkey is invisible, where can it not hide? Does the sea of people work? ”
The crowd tactics were not as unbearable as Shi Xiangyun said, at least their team members found a few lost black beetles in an exhaust vent behind the building.
After Shi Xiangyun chatted with Luo Youcheng briefly, he began to mobilize his intelligence, one is to completely block the intrusion channel, and the other is to comprehensively strengthen the protective fences of all vents.
At this time, the knife shop was flying all over the building with the witch. It stands to reason that with the witch's ability to sense the beast, as long as the monkey didn't run out of the canopy and didn't hide in the Kaipi Glass House, she didn't have to run around, she could find it by standing still. The reality was that the knife company flew almost all the floors with the witch on his back, and the witch couldn't spot it.
"Second brother-in-law, it can't be that Charizard is wrong, right? There are no transparent monkeys at all. ”
The witch was shouting to her second brother-in-law all the way, and the knife shop was extremely happy. He has sympathy for this prospective sister-in-law, and now he has more love. A girl who was so watery at the beginning, she was tossed into a bone frame in two years, and she was full of meat on her back.
"Mr. Brother-in-law...... Your brother said yes, so there must be. ”
The witch said, "Second brother-in-law, put me down, I have to think about it carefully." ”
The witch came down from the back of the knife shop and leaned against the wall, frowning.
"Don't rush, think slowly." Dao Xing comforted, "Except for the Kaipi Glass Room, is there any other place that can also isolate your perception?" ”
The witch's eyes lit up, "yes, mezzanine." The spring breeze does not mean that there is a cage in the mezzanine, and Kaipi glass is also used. ”
The knife dealer asked: "How to get to the mezzanine?" ”
Through the suspension ladder, you can not enter the mezzanine. The Black Witch fell into a cage on the mezzanine floor and was sent to a cell on the 10th floor of the basement, but unfortunately she had no memory of the Black Witch. The witch called the spring breeze.
Chunfeng said on the other end of the phone: "Sister Wu, you come to monitor the command room, and I will take you there." ”
When the witch and the knife shop rushed to the basement, Chunfeng was talking to Shi Xiangyun, and then Shi Xiangyun carried out a dazzling operation on the control console.
A square hole appeared in the ground, and the spring breeze jumped in, followed by the knife line and the witch. This time there was no cage to greet them, and they landed safely. There were a total of eight empty Capiglass cages in the mezzanine, matching the number of underground cells.
Due to the ventilation holes in the cage, it is not considered a true airtightness. So here, the witch has a faint sense of the transparent monkey. She pointed to the fifth cage and said:
"It's inside."
"Huh." Chunfeng was surprised, "Clever, you actually know about lurking." ”
The cage, which looked like nothing, shuddered slightly, and slid down the ground track toward a wall. The knife company immediately chased after him. The spring breeze fluttered for a moment, and said strangely in his mouth, he didn't expect the transparent monkey to control the cage. The ancient city can control it because he has the right to control it, so why should the monkey have it?
In a moment's time, the cage had already slid to the wall, and a mechanical arm stretched out from the wall, and the tooth was inserted into the ventilation hole on the cage. The spring breeze hurriedly launched eight times the speed, and the last one came first, blocking the door of the cage with the first step. The cage door opened, and the spring breeze reached out to catch nothing.
At this time, a hand appeared under Chunfeng's arm, the palm of the hand became a claw, something was caught, and a scream of "squeak chirp" sounded.
"Brother Dao, you are so powerful." Chunfeng immediately complimented.
The knife line is worthy of being a practitioner, listening to the wind and distinguishing the sound, the speed on the feet is not as fast as the spring breeze, but the movements in the hands are fast and accurate.
