Just when I was in despair, the protective suit was activated, followed by Xiao Ai's voice: "It should be the system crash caused by the energy wave generated by the opening of the space portal just now, and the entire communication network is also broken, it seems that it was cut off by attack... I can only set up a LAN first, activate the emergency response mode of your protective clothing, let's deal with the current situation first. ”

I was about to ask what to do, when I found that Ai had taken over the command of our suits, and she controlled our suits to deftly flash the light whiskers of the blood beetle, and then activated the propulsion device to lead us away from the blood beetle.

Soon, we distanced ourselves from these insects, and it seemed that we were safer for the time being, but Xiao Ai was probably still curious about them and wanted to observe, so after closing the distance, we stopped.

The blood beetles didn't seem to want to chase after us, and when they saw that we were quickly pulling away, they withdrew their bare whiskers that were trying to catch us, and they stopped.

Through the high-powered telescope of my protective suit, I saw that a section of their armor rose in half from the middle, like a pair of wings, horizontal with the ground, and its horns stretched out like drill bits under the armor, and began to drill into the ground beneath them.

Their bits appear to be very hard, and the ground is quickly drilled through. Then, the carapace that had been at a horizontal angle to the ground began to close upwards, and with this action, I saw that the drill bit that had risen again had opened in the form of a flap, digging up the concrete layer of the ground like claws and pliers—the swarm of carapaces of the blood beetles was divided into two pieces and flapped up and down like wings, and in the process, the ground around them was dug downward, so what were they going to do if they kept digging?

I was wondering when Mrs. Fan's voice came from the headset: "No, they want to dig out the civilians who are taking refuge underground!" We're going to think of ways to stop them! ”

I see, there should have been a lot of residents hiding underground with the houses just now, and the blood beetles were aimed at them. Sure enough, after a while, the carapace of several blood beetles converged upwards and no longer descended, and the drill-like tentacles were also retracted, replaced by the light whiskers just now.

The tendrils stretched out to the ground, and soon, we heard the panicked cries of the people, and the civilians were constantly torn out of the ground by the whiskers and stuffed into the bodies of the blood beetles, followed by pieces of empty protective clothing peeling off from their bodies, and for a moment I thought of knocking melon seeds.

While capturing the civilians of Qingtang Star from the underground, the blood beetle released some humanoid objects that looked like civilians from the armor that could not be seen clearly, and kept saying to the captured people, "Come on, it's okay, it's safe here." Chilling words like that. These vague figures should be the mutants I heard about before, and it feels more like a projection technology. Due to the distance, it is impossible to determine whether it is an entity or not.

The situation continues to deteriorate, and not far away, more blood beetles have broken through the artillery blockade of the defense forces and are squirming towards our area, and the low-altitude fighters that were still dense in the sky just now seem to be much less.

I saw countless small flying insects that looked like butterflies flying out of the bodies of these insects, and the contents of each blood beetle seemed to be very rich, bare whiskers, drill bits, small flying insects... I don't know if there will be anything else.

These little flying insects flew a steady stream towards the group of fighters of the defense forces, crawling one fighter after another. Soon, these fighters, which were crawling all over the fuselage by small flying insects, lost power and fell rapidly. The blood beetle continued to stretch out its light whiskers, some of which entangled the fighter plane that was about to crash to the ground, and grabbed the defenders from inside; One by one, some of them grabbed the parachutists and sent them to their bodies.

The situation on the ground was not much better, the turret was overturned one by one by the attacking swarms, and the ground under the turret was dug up one by one. Naturally, the target is the residents who are taking refuge below...

It's not called a battle at all, it's completely crushed by the bugs! After just a few moments, the situation was already critical. Will we be able to escape from this sudden, overwhelming assault and travel to the next place?

Mrs. Fan has been roaring hoarsely in the channel, protesting Xiao Ai's attitude of not saving him when he sees death, "You damn cowards! Civilians are being eaten by insects all the time, and you don't do something about it? If you want to run for your life, just run on your own and give me back the authority to my protective suit! I'm going to save them, I'm going to fight the bugs! ”

Xiao Ai replied indifferently: "I don't think we have the ability to fight against these insects, compared with the information I have collected before and the data of the current actual combat, the so-called blood beetle coping strategy is completely false information, and the weapons we have in our hands are completely useless to them." ”

"What's more," said Ellio Jr., after a pause, "the lives of those who were captured are not in danger at the moment, and it can be felt that they were only captured by the swarm and did not die, and most of them were not even injured. So, it's imperative to think about how we're going to get out first, we're already surrounded. ”

Hearing her say this, I realized that there were also a large number of blood beetles behind us, and like the situation here, they were also constantly searching for the Qingtang Star people, including the guards from the fighter planes in the sky, and the civilians who were fleeing and hiding on the ground and underground.

No wonder Xiao Ai controlled us to fly here just now and no longer retreated, it turned out that it was not to watch the excitement, but the current position where we are is relatively less dangerous. Farther away, it seems that new passages are opening, and more blood beetles are crawling out of them... The entire second area of Qingtang Star should have completely lost control and fell into the surprise attack of the insect swarm.

"On that day, humanity finally remembered the fear of being once dominated by giants (insects), and the shame of being imprisoned in a birdcage." I don't know why I remembered it, but it was so appropriate in the here and now.

Although Mrs. Fan was annoyed, after all, she could see the situation, at present, a few of us are one of the few fish who have not been taken care of by the blood beetle, and it is useless to resist the weapon, and it is difficult to escape, waiting for rescue? Now the defense forces are not able to protect themselves.

I looked at Xiao Ai, she didn't respond to our questions for a while, she just said that she was still thinking of a way, and then fell silent, it seemed that she was a little helpless, after all, the information she got before was useless at present.

For the sake of today, can we only pray that the information of these giant insects afraid of cats is true and reliable? Many humans are also afraid of cockroaches, but that doesn't stop them from screaming and smashing cockroaches with their slippers...
