Chapter 34: The Shepherd
Seeing Xiao Hei approaching the cemetery step by step, Qin Hao was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to shout Xiao Hei, because Xiao Hei was hypnotized at this time, and it was useless for him to shout, but he would expose himself.
Although Qin Hao had been strengthened by the blood of the worm, he was very self-aware, he was definitely not the opponent of the Silver Horn Giant Beetle, not to mention that there was more than one Silver Horn Giant Beetle in that graveyard!
"Damn! What to do! What to do! Qin Hao was anxious, but Xiao Hei had already walked to the side of the silver-horned giant beetle.
In an instant, Qin Hao's heart was about to rise to his throat, but the next scene made him dumbfounded.
"Smack!" The silver-horned giant beetle did not eat Xiao Hei like he devoured other creatures, but impatiently swept his forefoot and pulled Xiao Hei aside, and Xiao Hei, instead, he ate the leftovers that fell from the mouth of the silver-horned giant beetle.
"What's going on?" Qin Hao was stunned, he didn't know if Xiao Hei had been hypnotized to come, or if he had been summoned by the Zerg to come over for dinner, the scenes in front of him were too weird.
In fact, Qin Hao thought too much, Xiao Hei had nothing to do with these giant beetles, and people didn't call him over for dinner, it was really hypnotized, but the problem was that Xiao Hei's physiological structure was too weird, and it was too different from ordinary creatures.
Xiao Hei is wrapped in an extremely hard black chitin shell, and this chitin shell is still very heavy, after deducting this shell, Xiao Hei actually has no meat, which makes the silverhorn giant beetle really have no appetite after seeing it.
You must know that even if it is a silver-horned giant beetle, it takes a lot of effort to break through Xiao Hei's black chitin shell, but it can't eat half a mouthful of meat, which when the food is abundant, I'm afraid no one will waste their physical strength to eat Xiao Hei's.
So the silver-horned beetle impatiently pulled Blackie aside, and then gulped down the creatures that had been lured by the sound waves.
What Qin Hao didn't know was that the bug that looked like a brain with long legs was called a herdsman in the Zerg, and its accusation was to help the high-level giant beetle get food, and the herdsman could emit a low-frequency sound mixed with brain waves, which could hypnotize most of the animals and make them be attracted to the herdsman's side in a state of confusion.
At this time, a large number of high-level giant beetles can eat, and those creatures that are lured are all hypnotized, they don't feel pain, and they won't wake up even if they are gnawed, so the giant beetles don't have to worry about the food resisting at all, they can eat with confidence.
Coles Valley is close to the nests of giant beetles, and herders often choose an area to use their abilities, attracting a large number of creatures to feed the high-ranking giant beetles.
So it was a very wrong decision for humans to choose this place as a base, and after being hypnotized, the more than 20,000 warriors sent themselves to the mouth of the giant beetle in a daze, and then the whole army was wiped out.
The giant beetle had a large amount of food, and countless creatures died in their mouths, and I don't know how long it took, Qin Hao found that the sky was full of fish belly white, and at this time, the herdsmen stopped luring the surrounding animals to come, and the silver-horned giant beetles slowly dispersed.
After another ten minutes, Xiao Hei woke up from hypnosis, and he looked around blankly, as if he couldn't remember how he could be here.
Then Xiao Hei raised his head and sniffed, then he turned his head sharply and looked directly at Qin Hao's location, obviously, it found Qin Hao!
Qin Hao's heart chuckled, fortunately, the giant beetle didn't have that amazing sense of smell, and they didn't bring the kind of insect that was specifically responsible for searching for smells when they came out to eat, otherwise Qin Hao would definitely be discovered.
After Xiao Hei found Qin Hao here, he immediately ran towards him, Qin Hao turned over and rode on Xiao Hei's back, and then the two of them galloped in the direction of the base.
The distance of more than ten miles was at Xiao Hei's feet, and it would take a while, and Qin Hao and Xiao Hei drilled back to the base along the crack in the wall.
"Help......"
Qin Hao...... Where are you? ”
"Qin Hao......"
As soon as he returned to the base, Qin Hao heard Lucia's cry for help, and it was obvious that Lucia had also woken up from her hypnotic state.
After running a few steps, Qin Hao came to the gate of the command center, and then he opened the gate and entered the command center.
"Woooooooooo......oo Qin Hao, you're finally here......" Lucia cried out with a wow-out cry after seeing Qin Hao.
"What happened last night? How did we get tied up? "Pommon is still relatively calm, as a scientist, he is very sensible, he knows that he and Lucia must not have encountered the Zerg, because it is impossible for the bugs to tie them up.
"You were hypnotized last night...... Qin Hao untied the ropes for the two of them while describing the events of last night to the two.
"So, all the defenders here are dead?" Pommont gasped.
"I'm afraid so!" Qin Hao said.
"I'll get in touch with the fleet now!" After Pang Meng was untied by Qin Hao, he ran to the side of the communication station.
Just when Pang Meng contacted the fleet, Qin Hao was also reassuring Lucia, and this girl was obviously frightened.
"Alright, alright, it's all right!" Qin Hao gently patted Lucia's little head.
"I'm so scared, I want to go back to the battleship......" Lucia lay in Qin Hao's arms and cried loudly.
"Qin Hao, did you record last night's situation?" By this time, Pommont had re-established contact with the fleet.
"I'll take a look!" The battlefield recorder on Qin Hao's body at this time is intact and should be able to record images.
However, after turning on the playback function, Qin Hao frowned, the battlefield recorder clearly recorded the abnormalities of Pang Meng and Lucia, and also recorded Xiao Hei's various strange behaviors, but about the silver-horned giant beetle and the kind of strange insects like long-legged brains, the battlefield recorder was very vague, only some faint dark shadows.
After all, the battlefield recorder does not have Qin Hao's amazing night vision ability, as well as the function of a low-powered telescope, last night Qin Hao didn't dare to get too close to the silver-horned giant beetle, he was afraid of being discovered by the Zerg, so when there were still five kilometers away from the cemetery, he stopped, and at such a distance, the battlefield recorder couldn't shoot clearly at all.
"Something is better than nothing!" Pommont nodded, he needed this precious data, because if humans want to defeat the Zerg of Alpha Star, they must understand them first, otherwise they will always suffer this kind of loss like the defenders of Coles Heights.
"Have you made contact with the fleet?" Qin Hao asked.
"Well, last night they wanted to send a landing ship to pick us up, but the signal was blocked halfway, so they couldn't make the trip, and now we have re-established contact, and they promise that the transport ship will arrive within half an hour!" Pommont said.
