Chapter 33: The Most Exciting Predation
In the end, the middle-aged captain left with his team.
More than 1,000 people are divided into different squads to search the Wolong Forest, each squad is responsible for a different area, and the entire forest can be searched in the shortest possible time.
It's just a pity that they didn't find anything suspicious, at most this dry tree, which is suspected to be an S-class mutant plant.
Some other team members speculated that the reason why there were not too many mutant beasts in the forest could be because the big tree had eaten the mutant beasts around it?
But even so, it's none of your business.
No matter how weird a mutated plant is, it can't leave its original position.
The tide of ghouls was imminent, and everyone didn't have time to deal with this thing, so they simply left the Wolong Forest directly.
"Juggernaut, they're gone."
After hearing the brain worm report, Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "Untie the invisibility." ”
Wang Hui watched as the hive gradually materialized from the transparent air and reappeared near the dry tree, and the thick tentacles around the hive wrapped around the tree and pierced into the depths of the fungus blanket.
"It seems that stealth is just a small means."
"Even if it's invisible, it can't completely cover up the traces left by the hive."
"If it weren't for the imminent tide of ghouls, and that group of people didn't want to make a difference, I'm afraid the hive would be exposed."
Wang Hui looked at the hive, and felt more and more that biomass was scarce, and only if there was enough biomass, he could make the hive have more advanced self-protection methods, instead of using such low-level stealth means to lure intruders.
No!
The best way to protect yourself is to kill all the invaders!
"Brain worm, how is the gene collection team?"
"Juggernaut, they've caught up with the human death squads, they've seen a tide of ghouls."
"Oh?"
Wang Hui's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly held his breath, and began to communicate with the jumping insects in his mind: "Brain worms, link their will, and transmit distant pictures." ”
"The consciousness network is built, and the picture is being ....... in transmission"
As the sound of the brain worm fell, Wang Hui's mind added a picture, it was an endless plain, surrounded by rolling low slopes and lush forests, Wang Hui felt that he was possessed by a jumping insect at the moment, observing the neighborhood from the unique perspective of the jumping insect.
In the distance in front of the sixty jumping insects, there were traces of human activity, and the group was on the back of a low hillside, tinkering with something that looked like a telegraph, one on the left and one on the left and one on the right, and a narrow antenna on the top of the box.
According to human memories absorbed by brain worms, this thing is a specialty of White Sea City, and it is said to be based on an old electromagnetic device, which can be cranked by hand to emit some kind of special electromagnetic waves, attracting creatures to the direction of the telegraph machine, and is especially effective for low-level ghouls who have no intelligence.
At this moment, the group of humans is constantly shaking and changing hands, and a desire and impulse faintly come from the brains of the jumping insects, conveying the idea of requesting to get close to the telegraph machine.
The brainworms refused the jumpers' requests, keeping them in place.
The jumping insects are different from the ghouls, the brain worms and Wang Hui have absolute control over all the insects, while the high-level ghouls cannot absolutely control the low-level ghouls, and can only have a short-term temporary control effect, so the low-level ghouls will inevitably move towards the direction where the telegraph machine is located.
Once a large number of low-level ghouls start moving, high-level ghouls will inevitably consume a lot of energy if they want to control them.
High-level ghouls don't deliberately waste a lot of energy controlling their shift, as long as the direction of attack is not detached, it makes no difference to the ghouls where they attack from.
Due to their excellent line of sight, jumping insects can also lag far behind the human team when tracking, so that they cannot detect the traces of insects.
"It's kind of interesting."
Wang Hui squinted his eyes slightly, it seemed that the heritage of Baihai City was far beyond his imagination, and there was still a small part of Baihai City's scientific and technological inheritance from the old world.
The human members of this group of death squads were still frantically turning the handle on the back of the hillside, as if they had used all the strength to eat milk, for half an hour, one person was tired and replaced with the next person, constantly increasing and diffusing special magnetic information, Wang Hui looked at their momentum, and some doubted that this copper handle would break under high-speed rotation.
"What about the tide of ghouls?"
"Why haven't you seen it yet?"
Wang Hui's doubts did not last long, and he soon saw that in the extreme distance of the horizon, there was a long black line, coming quickly from the end of the plain.
"It's a wave of ghouls!"
The human death squad let out a cuffed exclamation.
"Retreat! Go to Wolong Forest! ”
"Inform the second team, keep shaking the telegram! Stay attractive! ”
When he saw the black line of the ghoul tide again, the captain of the death squad had already given the order, any of them as the first echelon had been completed, there was not just one telegraph, they could retreat now.
However, they may not be able to retreat successfully.
From the extremely distant sight of the jumping insects, when humans saw the black line in the distance of the horizon, the jumping insects could already see the general appearance of the ghouls.
Resembling a human appearance, hideous and terrifying appearance, the corners of the mouth are split to the sides, revealing staggered sharp teeth, no nose bridge, deep sunken eyes, very ugly faces, blue and purple skin, they are lying on their bodies, their center of gravity is lowered like a hound, running wildly on the ground, and their long, narrow nails glowing blue carry deadly toxins.
Groups of ghouls spread across the plains, and at a glance they were so black that they were so numerous that even from a great distance, the jumping insects could smell a strong stench in the air, a stench coming from the ghouls, an indescribable smell.
That's when it happened.
"Boom!"
Two or three black shadows suddenly jumped out of the tide of ghouls, approaching the death squad at an astonishing speed, and with the excellent dynamic capture vision of the jumping insects, they couldn't see the speed of the black shadows.
In just a few breaths, the dark shadow fell into the crowd of death squads.
"Poof!"
Blood flew out, the pungent smell of blood overflowed, and the members of the death squad didn't even have time to scream, they fell to the ground one after another, and the two or three black shadows didn't even pause, and quickly returned to the tide of ghouls.
From beginning to end, they never stopped, as if they had quickly carried out a long-distance switchback movement, and Wang Hui didn't see what this group of things was at all!
"Is this the strength of a high-level ghoul?"
Wang Hui silently commented in his heart: "From the perspective of speed, there is at least level 3, and it should not have reached level 4 speed." ”
The speed of the third level is already the first cosmic speed, 7.9 kilometers per second, which is far beyond the reach of the jumping insects.
Wang Hui understood at this moment why this group of human beings was called a death squad, and in front of the high-level ghouls, a distance of several thousand meters was already a sign of death.
"Wait, how are these human corpses moving!"
Wang Hui noticed the abnormality, and controlled the perspective of the jumping insects to look at the human corpses in the pool of blood behind the hillside, and the high-level ghouls did not destroy their corpses, but only made a few cuts in the exposed skin.
The corpses twitched on the ground, their skin turning blue, their teeth exposed, their spine curved, and their appearance gradually changing, more and more like a ghoul.
In just half a minute, when the corpses got back on their feet, they were no longer humans, they had become the new ghouls.
"Infected?"
Wang Hui recorded in his mind: "High-level ghouls have the ability to infect creatures and become the same kind, is it limited to humans? Or can any living being? Also, only high-level ghouls have the ability to infect? Or does any ghoul have this ability? ”
The tide of ghouls is getting closer and closer, as new magnetic signals have been emitted in the distance, and they are attracted to run wildly, and the swept tide of ghouls envelops the newborn ghouls to join the team.
The tide of ghouls stretched far and wide, and the mutant beasts that might be lurking around were alarmed and avoided or hid one after another.
The ghouls didn't seem to have much of an idea of the mutants, except for some of the ghouls who had been squeezed out of the line because they were too crowded, and then they were attracted by the magnetic signal, and although they broke away from the group, they continued to run wildly on another path.
"Huh?"
Wang Hui keenly noticed this, the high-level ghouls were obviously too lazy to control the small number of ghouls that had fallen behind, because as long as the magnetic signal was still there, these low-level ghouls would not leave the team too far, but they just moved in a different direction, and the destination was still the same.
And the small number of ghouls who broke away from the team is Wang Hui's chance!
He was still worried about how so many ghouls could hunt genes, but now that the opportunity came, how could he miss it.
"Jumping worms, prepare to hunt."
Wang Hui's order sounded in the minds of the jumping insects, and sixty jumping insects were already eager to try, jumping out of the small forest.
This is the most exciting predation, slaying lone ghouls at the side of a million ghouls!
This could attract the attention of the high-level ghouls, causing the few jumping bugs to be slaughtered by the high-level ghouls, but Wang Hui had to take that risk.
He needed the ghoul genes so much.
