Chapter Thirty-Three: The Giant Blood King Worm and the Sky Cruiser
The night seemed to be very deep, and the lights of the light Tang stars on the ground had basically been extinguished, and before we knew it, the sky was also covered by thick clouds, and we could hardly see our fingers around us. The occasional glow doesn't give us any peace of mind, as it's basically the blood beetle's unfolding light shield, and we're going to avoid the light now.
The hunting spirit seems to be distanced by us, and the feeling of oppression is not so strong, which makes me feel a little more comfortable.
The biggest problem we face now is the energy of the suit, which is consumed very quickly due to rapid advancement, and the information that the energy is about to run out is constantly flashing on the small screen in front of my helmet.
Xiao Ai said that there was nothing we could do, the interruption of the communication network made it impossible for us to call up spare clothes, and Xiao Ai could not transfer the corresponding equipment for us to solve the current crisis just by relying on the local area network.
Despair gripped me, and I couldn't hold on for more than 10 hours to get to the meeting point, not to mention that we seemed to be on the edge of the second district now, hundreds of kilometers away from the meeting point of the two old ladies' houses.
Ai still tried her best to keep us safe, and although we were separated and walked around in several directions, we were still within the range of the LAN connection she had established. I tried to talk to her a few times in our private channel, but we didn't get a response from her, probably because the current situation has consumed a lot of her computing power and has no time to answer, which is not a good sign.
Old Lady Fan's voice suddenly broke the silence, "Researchers, I have discussed with Old Lady Mi, you must leave here and find a solution to the bug and that monster." It's useless for the two of us mothers-in-law, now the energy of the protective suit is about to run out, leave us alone, me and Mi Pozi stay, I want to kill a bug, anyway, let's try. ”
Mrs. Mi, who had been relatively silent after the attack of the insect swarm, took over the conversation: "It's really not good, we hope to use the little energy we have left, and die a decent death, please don't refuse us." ”
Xiao Ai finally spoke again: "We have come to the edge of the second district, the protective shield should have been closed, don't be discouraged by the two old ladies, it's not that time yet."
The problem now is that there are two huge energy reactions in front of us and in the sky above us, and I don't know exactly what they are, but these two energy types are very different, and they are certainly not objects of the same system. Such a situation could lead to a confrontational situation, which may give us an opportunity to evacuate safely. ”
What I need most now is hope, and when I heard the news, I immediately came to my senses and asked, "Is it like the hunting spirit and the blood beetle just now?" They fight for us as prey? ”
The voice of the cone came: "Don't make a fuss, Uncle Scrapwood, the one in front of us has already come!" ”
As soon as he reminded me, I looked ahead, and through the faint light on my helmet I saw a huge black shadow silently approaching us, growing bigger and bigger in front of us...
By the time I could barely make out its outline, the behemoth had already appeared in front of us, a giant blood beetle!
This is the blood beetle that Xiao Ai mentioned when he explained to me before, it is more than 10 meters high! This guy is a lot taller than my small high-rise building on the 8th floor, 30 meters should be, and his long body is almost endless...
The incredible contrast between the movement of such a large creature made our sense of fear even more steep, and the hope that had just been born in my heart was completely extinguished when I looked at such a giant beetle.
What's even more exciting is that the trembling voice of the cone sounded again: "I, I'm not dazzled, it's not ghosting, it's not ghosting, it's not more than one, there's more..."
One, two, or three, what's the difference? Anyway, I can't stuff any of them between their teeth, I may have been scared stupid, but I am much calmer than just now.
What's the point of dying here, I can't see such a peerless spectacle in my lifetime on Earth, to a certain extent, it's enough.
I couldn't take my eyes off the huge insects passing in front of me, the light was not good, it seemed that there were a lot of carapaces on the body of this giant insect, each piece seemed to be about the same size as the beetles I saw before, this thing was not put together by countless small beetles, right?
I was about to ask Xiao Ai if my guess was correct, when suddenly a loud roar came from the sky, cutting through the silence just now. The clouds continued to press down with the roar, and the sound became louder and louder, and I subconsciously tried to cover my ears with my hands while wearing a helmet.
At this time, the earcups sticking out of the helmet covered my ears, and the loud noise was cut out a lot in an instant. It turns out that the helmet still has this function, and the design is really detailed, and it feels much more comfortable.
Xiao Ai's voice came from his ears: "If you don't take protective measures, your ears will be deafened by this noise, and I have access to the latest information: the first district command has activated the ultimate weapon, the air and space strategic cruiser Holt, which seems to have been on standby above the stratosphere for a long time, waiting for the blood king beetle to appear in order to deliver a fatal blow to them." ”
It turned out that we thought that the thick clouds were the cover means of the Qingtang Starry Sky Cruiser, which could cover the light of a large area of the sky above us, how big a ship it must be!
I asked Xiao Ai, "Isn't the previous weapon ineffective against the blood beetle?" What different weapons does their Sky Cruiser have that can deal a fatal blow to these giant insects? ”
"It should be the ultimate hot melt cannon with high thermal energy, I already sense that there is a high thermal energy reaction gathering on the cruiser, and it will soon be charged and fired.
Blood beetles are also in a high-energy state in their bodies, and such high-energy hot melt cannons will detonate them, and the insect swarm will have a chain explosion, and all the king insects will be wiped out.
Originally, such a large-scale high-heat explosion may have caused serious damage to Qingtang Star, but because it is in the human habitation area of Qingtang Star, there is a low-temperature protective layer close to absolute zero under the ground that roars for 100 meters, so that the high-temperature reaction will basically only occur on the surface, and the damage to the planet can be minimized, which is planned...
The Command of the First Sector may have received information about the attack on the Second Sector long ago, and the people in the Command probably wanted to finish the battle. ”
Mrs. Fan shouted, "How can you finish your work in one battle? These bastards watched the bugs destroy the second district, and they didn't save the people and the defense forces, and the last fire destroyed all of them, and there is no proof of death from now on?! These beasts are inferior to something! ”
With Mrs. Fan's scolding and Mrs. Mi's whispered sobs, it seems that the new situation has not brought any change in our situation.
I kind of understand what Xiao Ai's previous prediction of a 17% chance of completing the crossover back to Earth means, how can it be so high? She's still too optimistic.
