Chapter 15: The Squad
The big worm like a small car raised its head at this moment, lying motionless on a huge circular device surrounded by iron railings in the middle, which looked like a huge leather hose hanging from the railing, except for the occasional few arthropods waving back and forth, showing that the big worm was not dead.
Chen Xin turned his head and found that not far away near the wall, there was an iron ladder, an iron beam that could lead to the entire underground space, and it was estimated that it was an emergency passage used for maintenance in the old era, he pulled Xie Guoping, nodded in that direction with his chin, and the two walked towards the iron ladder tacitly.
Climbing the iron ladder, although it was on the iron beam more than ten meters away from the ground, the two of them still slowed down their movement as much as possible, not only because the place where they landed was only one foot wide, but also because the two of them realized how dangerous this "White Horse Port Sewage Treatment Plant" was when they reached the height.
In the diagonal place in the distance, there are also a lot of large iron buckets, different from the iron buckets that passed by just now, quietly, you can vaguely see a lot of evolved zombies around the iron buckets in the distance, but these evolved zombies are lying motionless, allowing a few "little worms" to bite in their mouths and drag them around, and a few evolved zombies are even dragged into the underground passage on the side.
Not far away by the iron bucket, Chen Yan also saw a person chrysalis dragged out by the "little worm", and then it was bitten by the "little worm" that rushed up, and rolled out an evolved zombie covered in slime.
After taking a few steps forward, the two were finally able to see inside the device that was surrounded by a railing in the middle.
The moment he saw the device, Chen Xin clearly felt Xie Guoping's hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard, of course, Chen Xin himself was also surprised, although he had already guessed, through the "Wasteland Survival Manual", he also had a preliminary understanding of the things behind the corpse, but he was still a little shocked when he saw the real body of the corpse.
In the middle of the device, there is a large insect four or five meters long and two or three meters high, the abdomen of the big insect is like a mountain of meat, the back is covered with a layer of black-gray scales section by section, and the abdomen is a translucent flesh-colored membrane. Different from the huge abdomen, the upper body of the big insect is not much different from the upper body image of a normal human, at least in Chen Xin's opinion, except for a few more secondary feet like spears, and then the size is a few sizes larger.
In Xie Guoping's opinion, there is such a monster entrenched under the port near the garrison military headquarters, and he must be in a bad mood, if the people in his team are caught by this monster, no matter how you look at it, it will be more than lucky.
Fortunately, today can be regarded as a reason to find out why the military department has been attacked by so many evolutionary zombies recently, it seems that these weaker evolutionary zombies are not naturally evolved from ordinary zombies, they are simply made by unknown methods, and the raw materials are these humans trapped in human chrysalis.
Of course, it would be best if he could find all the people in his team, he had a hunch that if he explored this place today, he would have a chance to save some of the team members, if he brought Chen Xin to this place, maybe he would be able to save a few more, although Xie Guoping himself didn't know how this hunch came about, but this hunch really existed in his head.
The dilapidated light tube hanging on the top, only a few are still flickering, and the light provided is not enough for the two to observe very clearly, so the two walked a few more steps along the iron roof beam towards the equipment in the middle, and got a little closer, Chen Xincai saw the appearance of the upper body behind the corpse with the magnification function of the night vision device, although the outline is still humanoid, but the face is bare, and there are some scales attached to the face, neither lips nor nose, but there are two small holes in the middle.
The corpse seemed to be resting, allowing the big worm to lie on the railing not far away, waving its tentacles overhead, without moving or making a sound.
After a while, the big worm stopped waving its tentacles, and began to shake from top to bottom, and the zombie corpses hanging on its body kept falling around the railing, and then one by one, the body twisted into a ball like a wave, and after a while, it actually spit out a lot of humanoid objects from its mouth one after another.
At the moment when the big worm stopped writhing, shook his head and climbed down the railing, hundreds of small worms suddenly burst out densely under the body of the corpse, a honeycomb surged around the corpse pieces scattered on the ground, and several relatively large small worms surrounded the humanoid object and bit the limbs, and dragged them in front of the corpse.
After the little worm hid under the abdomen of the corpse again, the upper body of the corpse that had been leaning on the back of the corpse suddenly sat up straight, and several auxiliary feet began to swing and insert the corpse pieces in front of him.
The front end of the secondary feet was very sharp, with a slight barb, Chen Xin watched them insert into the flesh and bones of the corpse without difficulty, lift them up, and send the corpse parts to the face of the corpse in turn.
The corpse queen looked left and right at the body pieces that were hanging by the deputy feet, and shook off the two corpse pieces that looked like bones, and the rest of the corpse parts, which looked like internal organs and fat, were sent to the side by the auxiliary feet.
The corpse opened its lipsless, huge slits the length of an adult's arm, and under the illumination of the light, the dense small sharp teeth inside reflected a little cold.
The secondary feet of the corpse kept poking at the corpse parts on the ground, and the fatter parts were sent to the mouth cracks, and under the translucent abdomen, you could faintly see the swallowed corpse pieces flowing, and the corpses were constantly being sent into the giant mouth, and the entire abdomen of the corpse began to expand slightly, and the position at the end seemed to spit out something.
Less leaning, the end of the abdomen of the corpse is like laying eggs, and many small worms are drilled, the color of these worms is different from the whole black seen on the road, and there are many black and red spots on the body.
The red-black little worm was still stained with the slime on the corpse's body, and as it walked, most of it fell to the ground, and a small part was swept away by the little worm's tentacles and thrown to the side.
A dozen or so small red and black worms did not surround the corpse, but climbed one-on-one to the side of the humanoid object that the big worm spat out.
Chen Xin took a closer look, and the humanoids on the ground were clearly normal humans who had fallen asleep, and everyone's chests were still undulating, and they should still be alive. Then, one by one, the little worms went through the piercings of these people's ears.
At this time, Chen Xin suddenly remembered that in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", a special corpse queen - the controller, who could control the awakened in a parasitic way, and every parasitic awakened person could dissect a "subworm" in the part of the brain stem after death.
Combined with the corpse tide attack encountered by the "company's" combat team before, Chen Xin had an eighty percent probability that the corpse queen in front of him was the legendary controller.
The humans lying on the ground were not wearing tactical equipment, Xie Guoping saw this situation at first sight, and at that time, he no longer paid close attention to the scene over there, but began to use the vision from a high point to constantly search for the whereabouts of his team members, to see if there would be any scattered objects around him.
Chen Xin was still observing the railing, the secondary feet behind the corpse were moving back and forth in the corpse pieces on the ground, probably looking for the remaining fat part, but most of the parts on the ground were already more fleshy and boneless, and the corpse was like a beginning, leaning on his abdomen and back, looking resting, after the red and black small worms drilled into the ear holes of the people lying on the ground, they did not come out again, but a lot of large "small worms" came in from outside the railing, and quickly cleaned up the corpses on the ground. There were also some slightly larger worms spitting out silky substances around the people on the ground, dragging them towards the large iron buckets on the side
Seeing this, Chen Xin patted Xie Guoping in front of him.
Xie Guoping also seemed to notice this group of "little worms", and his movements were more neat than Chen Xin's, and he walked directly along the top beam towards the big iron bucket.
The big iron bucket was some distance from the back of the corpse, Xie Guoping estimated that he would not attract the attention of the corpse, his feet hooked the iron top beam, and as soon as the whole body fell down, he hung upside down under the top beam.
Before Chen Xin could react, Xie Guoping had already returned to his original position, and his face almost touched Chen Xin's night vision device and said, "My teammates are down there, I will go down from the front and snatch them out!" ”
Chen Xin didn't agree this time, tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, and replied, "Team Xie, there are a lot of evolved zombies on the side, and they are all lying on the side and have no consciousness now, but what the real situation is, we don't know, I think it's a bit inappropriate for us to rush down directly to save people like this." ”
"The situation is urgent, you have seen it, so many hairy horns are drilling in their heads, I don't know when they will die! Time is of the essence! ”
Chen Xin waved his hands, signaled Xie Guoping not to get excited, and said, "I'm not saying no, I mean don't rush over." You see, how about we pull them up to the beams? ”
Xie Guoping was a little moved when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
"Team Xie, you see, we have been on this iron beam for so long, and they haven't found out, which means that this place is still very safe. Let's find a rope to pull them up, it's best not to alarm the evolved zombies outside the iron bucket, and the corpse queen over there looks like it's very capable of fighting, in case it alarms the initiators, it's hard to do it. Chen Xin spoke very quickly and said his reasons, hoping to persuade Xie Guoping not to come hard, of course, if Xie Guoping must come hard, he will also do it, because he knows that Xie Guoping will survive to the end, and it should not be too risky to follow him.
"The Queen?" Xie Guoping keenly grasped a word that Chen Xin said, and asked suspiciously.
Chen Xin suddenly realized that the corpse may not have been discovered by the people of this world, and he had not communicated with Xie Guoping about this matter before, in order to dissuade Xie Guoping, his mouth leaked out of his mouth all of a sudden, just as his head was moving rapidly, and when he was thinking about how to return to this matter, Xie Guoping didn't seem to have the meaning of delving into it, nodded and said, "The corpse queen, quite vivid." It's about the same as the queen ant, and it's much better than the 'Mao Lazi King' I thought. ”
Chen Xin broke out in a cold sweat, but he was still a little lucky, and secretly warned himself that he must think more about it when he speaks in the future.
"You can do this, it's not too high, let's find a rope to pull them up." Xie Guoping looked around, calculated the height of the iron beam and said.
"No, I have!" Chen Xin took out a roll of rope from the mountaineering bag behind his back, "The mountaineering rope is long enough and strong enough!" ”
Xie Guoping was a little happy when he saw this rope, he always felt good to be able to rescue his comrades-in-arms as soon as possible, and scolded Chen Xin with a smile, "With you, you don't have much ability, but there are a lot of things." ”
After speaking, he took the rope and tied it around his waist, and added, "I'll tie the other end to the beam first, and you can also help me pull it." ”
Chen Xin thought that he should be allowed to do the next work, but he didn't expect Xie Guoping to trust him so much, which made him a little surprised, but Chen Xin would not refuse this trust, let him go to those places where there were worms lying everywhere, he still had some resistance in his heart.
There was nothing wrong with pulling these chrysalis up, at most, Xie Guoping killed a few small worms crawling on the faces of his comrades with a dagger.
The base of the human chrysalis also has a flat place, which is stuck on the iron beam and does not fall down.
Xie Guoping also felt lucky, all his comrades-in-arms were actually in an area, and there was no one missing, but these comrades-in-arms were still trapped in the chrysalis and couldn't even make a sound.
"Xiao Chen, you're engaged in research, what's wrong with this direct split?" Looking at these people's chrysalis, Xie Guoping was also a little stunned, and he didn't know where to start, for fear of hurting his comrades-in-arms.
Chen Xin squatted down, patted these pupae, pinched some of the powder that fell from the pupa in his hand, and thought about the scene he saw the little worm biting the human pupa before, and said, "It's not a big problem." This is a variant of 'pupa'. This is mainly a mixture of soil and the mucus spit out by the insects, and it is not adhered to their bodies, and it mainly plays a protective role. Chen Xin straightened up, and half-squatted for a while to observe the silk thread on Xie Guoping's comrade's face, "There is a big problem with this silk thread, and if it is entangled for a long time, there may be soft tissue ischemia and necrosis." ”
When Xie Guoping heard what Chen Xin said, he didn't care about the chrysalis wrapped in it, so he didn't say a word, picked up the dagger and smacked the silk thread on the heads of the six people a few times, cutting it off.
Chen Xin picked up the silk thread that fell to the ground and was cut, looked at the traits carefully, and muttered to himself, "How do they keep their prey alive, I have time to study." ”
After Chen Xin put the silk thread into his pocket, he found that several warriors wrapped in chrysalis were already panting, and it seemed that they would soon wake up, and after observing it, there was actually a female warrior among these 6 people, and he was very surprised.
Xie Guoping knew that there was no harm in this layer of "being pupae" outside, and he didn't dare to get his comrades out on the spot, now they are all on the twenty-meter-high beam, and the chrysalis can still be fixed in the middle of the cross grid of the beam, in case they are rescued but fall off the beam, it is really wronged.
"Dongqing, Liuzi, Haiyan, are you awake?" Xie Guoping put away the knife, and saw that the eyes of the three on the left were no longer as confused as they were at the beginning, so he asked in a low voice.
"Boss!" "Head!" "Captain!" After the three of them woke up, they all called out Xie Guoping, but in Chen Xin's opinion, the three of them called out differently, which was a bit weird.
However, Chen Xin paid more attention to one of the soldiers named "Dongqing", a typical Han in Eastern Province, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and clear corners of his eyes. Of course, the reason that caught Chen Xin's attention was the name, if he guessed correctly, the full name of this "Dongqing" should be "Feng Dongqing", in the future, he will follow the legendary Xie Guoping to fight in the south and the north, and he is also famous in the group of awakened people in the 01 base, it is said that he can defeat most of the evolved zombies with brute force, and even Xie Guoping's battle of the gods, there is also a credit of "Feng Dongqing".
It seems that in the original plot of "Wasteland Survival Manual", the "Feng Dongqing" nicknamed "Green Haired Tiger" was finally rescued by Xie Guoping, otherwise there would be no later stories.
