Chapter 18: Humans?
At 10:20 a.m., it was the day after the end began.
On the first day, the state immediately recognized the crisis and quickly issued an order to protect all the people.
But after all, it is only a part of the protection, after all, there are too many people, and the military force is too small, if you want to save all the cities, you must disperse all the military forces.
However, in this case, the power of the whole country will be weakened a lot.
And they are not only enemies on the inside, but also full of giant insects trying to invade the territory.
Although they started to act in the first place, they were still one step too late.
There are too many people, and although the army is strong, it is obviously impossible to protect everyone in one day.
It's been a day now, and yesterday the army had already brought most of the population to safety.
But there will always be people who can't be rescued in time, and now, what they're doing is to save those who are missing.
In fact, the rescue search has been started since last night, but even so, the number of people they rescued is still too small.
After all, they generally have to resist the invasion of giant insects, protect the people, and have search and rescue, and the number of soldiers is still too small.
Add to this the fact that the number of people joining the army has dropped dramatically in recent years, which has led to the fact that they are now completely undernumbered.
No matter how strong the military force is, if there are not enough manpower, it will be in vain after all.
But even if a day has passed now, the search and rescue is still ongoing, and even if there is still a slight possibility, they will not give up easily.
And now, in this city, another team of search and rescue personnel is also searching in the city.
The equipment of this team is obviously better than that of Captain Li.
In fact, their main purpose is not to search and rescue, but to explore deeply.
Explore what's going on in the city at the moment, then report it to the higher-ups, who plan it for the next action.
And now, such a group of people has come to an underground parking lot.
It's full of cobwebs, as well as small spiders.
It's small, but it's the size of an adult hound.
However, no matter how many small spiders there were, they were vulnerable to their powerful firepower, and they soon became clear.
When it was done, one of the team members said, "It's so easy. But these cobwebs are really in the way! Captain, can I burn these cobwebs? ”
"No, wait." Looking at the situation here, the captain felt strange.
Any insect outside is the size of a human, but the spiders here are too small compared to those spiders, and they are as small as larvae.
The more he thought about it, the more the captain felt that something was wrong, so he stopped the team's move, intending to make a judgment after going deeper.
If it is really as he imagined, this is also a very important piece of information, and it must be reported to the upper echelons as soon as possible.
If this is true, then they don't know, then it is estimated that they will not be able to end this war for the rest of their lives.
"Cut~!" The team members complained, but they still obeyed the captain's orders and did not burn the place directly.
They cut through the cobwebs that stood in their way and continued to walk deeper, saying that they wanted to explore the place.
As we went deeper, more and more spiders scurried out of it, even from the ceiling.
In this regard, they were sudden, da-da-da, and solved these spiders very easily.
It can be said to be very simple, simple to the extent of unnaturalness.
The captain, who felt more and more bad in his heart, picked up a fragment of a spider and observed it.
The spider's exoskeleton is not very hard, and even a pistol can easily shoot through.
No matter how you look at it, this is a newborn spider with an unhardened exoskeleton.
"Captain! Look what that's that!? ”
Just as the captain was observing the spider corpses, the hurried voices of the team members were heard from the depths.
Hearing this voice, the captain hurriedly put down the spider corpse in his hand and rushed to the depths.
"What's wrong? What ......!? ”
The captain who arrived saw a desperate scene.
Spider webs, cobwebs everywhere, and cocoon-like things hang from cocoons.
In addition to these, there was a huge cocoon wrapped in spider silk, and through the cracks in the silk threads, they could faintly see the eggs.
Countless insect eggs are even constantly wriggling, and small spiders continue to emerge from them.
Then these newly-born spiders followed the cobwebs to the cocoons that were wrapped and kept gnawing.
They could vaguely see that there were humans inside those cocoons, and even living humans.
It is caught by a spider and stored here as the first meal for the birth of the larvae.
"Ahhh People who couldn't accept this scene went crazy and kept shooting around with their guns, trying to kill all the spiders.
"Stupid! Stop, there's still a living human ...... inside."
The captain was about to stop the team member, but a huge spider suddenly fell from the ceiling and crushed it.
This happened so suddenly that before they could react, the spider quickly pierced the bodies of several team members with its sharp forefeet.
Seeing that several team members were killed in an instant, the captain didn't dare to hesitate and left there directly with the survivors to avoid annihilation.
Fortunately, the spider didn't pay attention to what they meant, and instead focused all its attention on the prey he had just hunted.
It used its forefeet to pick up a warm corpse, and then began to spit out silk threads from its buttocks, wrapping the human and hanging it in front of the little spiders for them to eat.
The corpse, which still retains its temperature, instantly attracts a large number of small spiders, who rush up and continue to nibble and suck the food in front of them.
Such a scene constantly impacted the spirit of the players.
Until just now, a few of them were still chatting with themselves, but now they have become spider food, how can people accept this for a while?
"Don't panic!" Looking at his teammates who were already panicking, the captain shouted, "We still have a chance!" ”
Fortunately, the spiders don't care about them, as long as they do, they still have a chance to live.
But until then......
The captain picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted: "This is Team 009, a large spider nest has been discovered, as well as a large number of insect eggs, here, Team 009 requests for support!" ”
In any case, they have to report back to the information they have now, otherwise it will be unpredictable.
These bugs have the potential to reproduce, and they reproduce faster than they think.
If they didn't know about this, they would never have been able to wipe out all the giant insects in the subsequent confrontation.
After reporting everything he had discovered to his superiors, the captain showed an expression of death.
He knew that it would take half an hour for support to arrive at the earliest.
Until then, they had to do something.
If you wait to die, it is no different from choosing to die.
Therefore, here, the captain holds the consciousness of death, even if it is death, he must pull all the insects here to be buried!
"I'm sorry, but you should be able to live."
The other team members looked at their captain and quickly accepted this reality.
Instead of waiting there to die, what should you do, in case you survive?
"What is there to apologize for, we are a small team, and if we want to die, of course we will die together. Yes, Captain! ”
"You ......" looked at his team members, the captain was very moved, at this time, there are also team members with him, he is really a happy captain.
"Okay! Let's go crazy! ”
"Oh!!"
After shouting and boosting their morale, they did not hesitate and rushed out with the guns in their hands......
Ten minutes later, the team members held their knees with their hands and gasped for air.
"Huh...... Haaah......! We...... Did it work? ”
Looking at the huge spider corpse that fell to the ground in front of them, a triumphant smile appeared on their faces.
After the smile, there is a face full of sadness.
It was too dangerous just now, and if that step was wrong, they would die.
But fortunately, they were very lucky, and at the end of the moment when everyone was exhausted, one of the team members jumped into the spider's mouth with a grenade, regardless of his own life, and died with the spider.
If it weren't for the heroism of the team members, then they would probably be wiped out.
"Captain...... What do we do next? Wait for the arrival of reinforcements, or just burn this place? ”
"Burn it." No one can be sure what else exists in this, and maybe there will be something even more powerful.
And there are still small spiders hatching around, and now that they have got the information they want, they have also reported it, and it makes no sense to continue to keep the eggs here.
With the captain's consent, they directly set fire to the entire spider nest.
There was spider silk everywhere, it was very flammable, and soon everything around it was burning.
And at this moment, a team member pointed ahead and shouted in horror: "Captain! Look there! ”
The captain looked suspiciously in the direction he was pointing, and then saw a solitary transparent egg.
But what really frightened them was not the egg, but the contents of the egg.
"Why? Why are there humans inside?! ”
That's right, inside this huge egg is not a spider, but a human.
And the eggs were wriggling, as if they were about to burst out of their shells.
The captain hurriedly set up his gun, pointed the muzzle at the egg, and yelled, "What the hell are you?!" ”
The eggs broke, and the humans inside came out of the eggs, looking at the few people in front of them with guns pointed at them with expressionless faces.
"Huh!!" That can't be called human anymore.
Compound eyes, compound eyes of insects, and the rest of the body also has the characteristics of insects, so how do they think this is a human?
"Ahhhh Everything in front of them was too frightened, so they involuntarily pulled the trigger.
