Chapter 66: Search III

Embattled.

The mass was getting closer and closer, so close that I could see the bugs on the surface. At that moment, the thing suddenly stopped, but slowly erected, like a man lying on the ground standing up in a strange position.

Tense confrontation.

Team Leader Li's eyes were a little solemn, he stared at the mass in front of him, and raised his right hand, probably hesitating to give the order to shoot.

The dark figure in front of him still stood silently in the middle of the cave, motionless, as if something was brewing.

"Poof!"

The black shadow suddenly let out a soft sound, and then the insects seemed to wake up, and suddenly moved, rolling and surging in all directions. The black shadow that was originally standing was like a rotten wood blown down by the wind, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

This sudden change shocked everyone, and some people even screamed in surprise.

The black worms wriggled fast, spreading out in all directions like a tidal wave, and were about to crawl near everyone.

"Keep the ranks lit and flamethrowers ready." Team Leader Li calmly looked at the approaching swarm of insects, and gave orders firmly and forcefully.

The black insect tide was already only about a meter away from everyone, and Team Leader Li's raised right hand waved down quickly, and issued an attack command: "Start spraying!" ”

"Whirring ......"

The two warriors at the front were each holding a flamethrower, aiming at the insects on the ground and spewing scorching flames. The flamethrower's flames did not immediately extinguish on the ground, but formed a wall of fire that separated everyone from the swarm.

"Crackling ......"

The crackling sound of the flames burning the swarms was incessant, and the scorching stench in the air filled the air, making me feel sick.

The two warriors armed with flamethrowers did not breathe flames endlessly, but intermittently spewed flames into the ground, used to maintain the wall of fire between the crowd and the swarm. Looking at the momentum of those black worms, the barrier of the wall of fire has gradually eased, and everyone can be regarded as relieved.

"Something doesn't seem right." I stared at the bugs crawling all over the ground, and I had a very bad feeling.

"There's something wrong with that." Team Leader Li was also staring at the insects, and after thinking about it, he said, "These insects are afraid of light but don't run away, they seem to be dominated by something." ”

Although the scene in front of me is very similar to that, Team Leader Li's statement still makes me can't help but complain: What can insects be dominated by? Wronged souls? Warlock? This is too mysterious, isn't it?

"What's that?" Team Leader Lee's eyesight was very good, and he noticed something different in the swarm through the wall of fire.

I looked closely in the direction he was looking, and finally noticed something strange in the swarm of insects on the ground. The black swarm of worms was a milky white, bulging eyeball like a pupilless eyeball. There were a few black worms that squirmed and crawled up the surface of the thing, wriggling around and slowly wriggling, looking like a huge eye from a distance. I was struck by a wit in my mind, and suddenly I remembered the first time I saw these black worms, and at the last moment when they disappeared, there seemed to be such an eyeball in the recess of the cave wall. It turned out that it wasn't really an eyeball, but an illusion like this.

"It's a big bug." Team Leader Li put down the binoculars in his hand, and after thinking about it, he pointed to the thing and said to a soldier next to him, "Xiao Li, do you see that white ball?" ”

The warrior named Xiao Li looked around for a moment, then nodded.

"Throw a Molotov cocktail." Team Leader Lee ordered.

"Yes." Xiao Li responded, took off an incendiary bomb from the ammunition pouch hanging diagonally on his body, glanced at it, pulled the fuse and threw it out.

The incendiary bomb landed near the milky white mass without being biased, and a puff of white smoke came out of it and then burned with a "bang", and the burning range was not too large, less than three meters in diameter, but it was enough to encompass the milky white bugs.

At the moment when the flames of the incendiary bomb ignited, the white insect suddenly moved, as if sensing the danger, it rolled and fled quickly, but it was too late, the flames had already surrounded it.

"Hiss ......"

The milky white worm let out a terrible "hiss" sound, and I don't know if it was its scream, or the sound of the flames burning.

The scorching smell in the cave has reached its limit, and I don't know if it is because the combustion consumes the oxygen in the cave, so I feel that it is already a little difficult to breathe.

At this point, the black worms finally moved, and they began to flee in all directions, but apparently they began to fear the flames and light, and fled far away into the darkness. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but complain again: I rub, there is really a demon magic and evil spell, what are the white worms in the middle, and they can really control those black worms.

After just a few tens of seconds, there were no living insects on the ground at all, only the corpses of the insects that had been burned by the fire still emitted a trace of white smoke. The big white insect not far away was already charred and blackened, and it was lying motionless on the ground, and it seemed to be already cold.

"What the hell was that?" The people at the back of the line didn't see the scene in front of them, and someone asked curiously.

"It's still those bugs, it seems like there's a big one this time, but it's dead." The one who understood before answered him.

"How do I look like a human being just now?" There are also doubts.

"It shouldn't be a human, you see there are no bones left on the ground, and the worms don't eat bones...... "Another person who understands replied.

"Is that bug the king of bugs?" Someone continues to question.

"Then who knows." A soldier with a northeastern accent said, "Ask the village chief to go!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The tense atmosphere at the scene finally eased, and my heart was also relaxed.

"Ahem...... Big man, you talk a lot. Leader Li cleared his throat and counted the soldiers, then confirmed the number of people in the team, and finally ordered all the staff to stay on guard and pass through the place quickly.

I marked our approximate location on the 3D map on my tablet again, and then followed the team on our way. I stopped for a while, but I accumulated a lot of stamina, and I felt a lot easier for the rest of the journey.

After walking for about half an hour, another skeleton was found in front of him, and he should still be one of Qiao Er's gang. I was a little apprehensive in my heart, although I didn't want to see Wen Xianbao, but after all, I knew each other, and I was still a little worried about him, because I didn't know if there would be him among the few corpses known now.

As the team marched, they followed the markers and did not pass through any forks in the road, but at that moment an accident occurred.

"Report, there's no way ahead." The Scout at the front debriefed.

"What's the situation?" Team Leader Li asked.

"There's just no way." The scout said, "Dead end, in front of which is a stone cave wall." ”

Team Leader Li frowned and asked, "Didn't you go according to the mark?" ”

The Scout replied, "Yes, you followed the mark, but there is no way here." ”

At this time, Team Leader Li looked at me with a question in his eyes.

I turned on my tablet, looked at the 3D map on it, and then squeezed to the front of the line and patted the cave wall with my gloved hand. I know what's going on, just like we've encountered before, the bugs have sealed the cave. I know that this stone-like closure is not very thick, although the fat man can't handle it with a sapper shovel, but it shouldn't be a big deal in front of a fully equipped armed police soldier.

After I finished reading it, I turned around and said, "Team Li, it's a long story, this is a wall made by that kind of bug, find a way to blow it up." ”

Team Leader Li's eyelids jumped and asked, "Comrade, are you sure?" ”

I understood what he meant, after all, it was no joke to use explosives in a cave, and if we weren't careful, we might be buried alive in it. However, I was able to determine the current situation, made a gesture with my hand, and said to him: "Team Li, just such a thick layer, find a way to explode." ”

Team Leader Li saw that I was not thick, so he stepped forward and patted the stone wall, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said to Xiao Li next to him: "Xiao Li, blow it up with minimal damage." ”

"Yes."

After Xiao Li answered, he checked the thickness of the stone wall with me again, then untied his backpack, took out the explosives from it and began to assemble it. On the left and right sides of the stone wall, four explosives were placed in diagonal crosses, each of which was inserted into the detonator, and then the lead was inserted into the detonator. The lead was very thin, and he pulled it back as he pulled it, quickly connecting the lead wires, and then pulled it about thirty meters away from the wall.

Everyone retreated with him, thirty meters away, and then found a rock mass and crouched down, blocking their ears with their hands. I also retreated with the crowd into the distance, and after dodging it far away, I plugged my ears with my fingers.

"Ready, ask for detonation."

"Confirm the safe distance, you can detonate."

"Detonate!"

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone wall collapsed. After the smoke cleared, the hole behind the stone wall was also revealed, and sure enough, it was the same kind of bug as before.

My ears were still ringing, and I could only see the mouths of the people next to me, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. It seems that there is something wrong with the way I cover my ears, and I should not have covered my ears with my fingers, but should have covered them with my palms like they did. I can't hear it, but I don't delay in seeing it. Team Leader Li's face was not very good, Xiao Li lowered his head as if he was being criticized, I think Xiao Li should have put too much explosives.

After the smoke completely dissipated, my ears gradually regained my hearing, and Team Leader Li also beckoned everyone to prepare to continue their departure.

The scout had returned from behind the blown stone wall and reported, "Report, three bodies found ahead. ”

Team Leader Li frowned and asked, "Can you confirm your identity?" ”

The Scout returned: "No, but look at the costume is certainly not our people." ”

"Hmm." Team Leader Li nodded, his expression relaxed a little, and then ordered everyone to move forward vigilantly.

I heard that there were dead people in front of me, and it seemed to be Qiao Er's group again, and I couldn't help but complain in my heart again: I rub, how many people are here in Qiao Er's group? Seven or eight of them died back and forth......
