"Brother, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to shoot!" Gu Beimo shouted at Ding Xiu.

"Then I can't bear it, let's fuck it!" Ding Xiu saw that the situation was a little unfavorable, and he no longer stuck to his previous concerns. Moreover, the car left the black oil-filled swamp, making it much less likely to cause a forest fire.

The two men agreed, and gunshots rang out.

The mutant swamp slug, which was the first to be shot, was located on the left side of Ding Xiu's car, and after the black soft creature was hit by the bullet, its body suddenly exploded like a cannonball.

Fragments of the flames flew in all directions, igniting the black oil on the other mutated swamp slugs in the vicinity, turning them into crawling fireballs.

"it!" Accompanied by gunshots, one after another explosions startled everyone.

"Don't hit the mutated swamp slugs that climb into the car." Ding Xiu admonished his companions.

He didn't expect to shoot a gun, because each mutated swamp slug was like a small bomb, and after the bullet penetrated their body, there was a high probability that the fuel in their body would ignite.

"What about the people who climbed into the car?" Shen You asked over the walkie-talkie.

"Stab them with a knife edge and peel off the part where they are attached to the body." Ding Xiu said the method he thought of and took the lead in putting it into action.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other the blade of his gun, he stabbed at the mutant swamp slug, which was about to crawl to the car door.

The tip of the blade stabbed the soft-bodied creature through, and some dark brown liquid trickled out of the piercing hole.

The mutant swamp slug began to shrink in size, but it was still clinging to the door and trying to move through the window.

"Ding Xiu, I'll drive." Song Xijun squeezed to his side and took over the steering wheel.

The clutch and throttle are still controlled by Ding Xiu's feet, but he can free his hands, and his shots are much smoother.

Ding Xiu inserted the tip of the Yanlong Hand into the body of the mutant swamp slug, and then pried it hard, and the soft creature could no longer suck the body, and fell down with a "chirp".

The situation of Gu Beimo's car was more severe, he and Shen You lacked blade-type weapons. Ding Xiu asked Song Xijun to lean over the car and handed them his military thorn.

Gunshots continued to sound in the car, and the mutated swamp slugs that were shot in the back of the car exploded one after another, burning into fireballs of various sizes. The flames spread in the "black sea" of mutant swamp slugs, slowing down their chase.

These soft-bodied creatures are not completely unintelligent, and they have an innate fear of fire.

The mutated swamp slugs that had flames burning on their bodies began to roll in pain on the ground, the stench of burnt mixed with another indescribable smell spreading through the air.

The mutant swamp slugs, untouched by the flames, began to consciously avoid their burning companions, some of them stopped, and some of them made a detour from the side.

Ding Xiu and the others hurriedly cleared the mutant swamp slugs that had climbed onto the car and were about to burrow into the car window, leaving some black marks as the soft creatures were peeled from the car.

After the Mutant Swamp Slug slowed down, the off-road pickup finally broke out of their encirclement, and the woods were still thick, fortunately without the boulders.

Waiting for those dense black figures to disappear into the mirror, Ding Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, he came to his senses and found that Song Xijun was huddled in the driver's seat with him.

The girl's plump buttocks pressed against Ding Xiu's thighs, but she didn't feel anything unusual at all, but watched the road ahead with all her attention.

The atmosphere in the car became a little charming, Song Xijun didn't know it, and Ding Xiu was embarrassed.

Although it was not the first time that the two had such close contact, most of them had a reason, and Ding Xiu moved to the side, looking a little embarrassed.

The girl was almost about to sit on top of him, which made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't speak, and there wasn't much room to move to the side.

After a while, Song Xijun seemed to notice something, she glanced in the rearview mirror, and after confirming that she couldn't see the figure of the mutant swamp slug, she turned her head to Ding Xiu and said, "The steering wheel is returned to you, or you can drive it safely." ”

"Okay." Ding Xiumune nodded.

Song Xijun sat back in her passenger seat without a trace, as if she didn't feel anything, but the flush on her cheeks seemed to betray her heart.

"Didn't those mutant swamp slugs continue to chase?" After a long while, the warmth on the girl's face slowly faded, and she asked Ding Xiu.

"They may not dare to chase too far, for fear that they will not be able to return to the land full of black oil." Ding Xiu had gained a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the mutated swamp slugs through the previous battles, "These mollusks should have a lot of water and oil stored in their bodies, and I think their actions depend a lot on these two things. ”

"Moisture and oil?" Song Xijun stared at his eyebrows and thought for a while, "I guess their weaknesses should be fire, as well as salt." ”

"Salt?" Ding Xiu was stunned.

He could understand the fire mentioned by Song Xijun, as evidenced by the explosion of the mutant swamp slug that had been hit by a bullet earlier.

But with salt, Ding Xiu couldn't think of anything to do with the weakness of the mutated swamp slug.

"There's some science involved." Song Xijun explained to him: "Since there is a lot of water on the surface and body of the mutant swamp slug, if they encounter salt, the salt particles will dissolve into a salt solution. The osmotic pressure of these highly concentrated saline solutions is much greater than the osmotic pressure of the cell sap in the cells of these mollusks, and under the maintenance of osmotic pressure by osmotic action, it can directly lead to a large amount of water loss in the cells, and then make the mutant swamp slugs severely dehydrated and die. ”

"It's a bit complicated." Ding Xiu thought about it and roughly understood the reason, "In other words, salt can rob them of the water in their bodies?" ”

"That's right, that's what it means." Song Xijun nodded.

"We have salt in our cars, so we knew we would have used salt against them." Ding Xiu's face showed regret.

"We don't have enough salt to threaten them." Song Xijun said with a smile: "According to the scale of their number, I'm afraid dozens of pickup trucks will have to be filled with salt." ”

While the two were talking, Shen You's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Ding Xiu, Lao Gu's arm was bitten by a mutant swamp slug!"

"How?" Ding Xiu was shocked, he saw Gu Beimo stop the car, so he also stopped the car.

"Fuck it!" Gu Beimo pushed the car door and staggered out, cursing in his mouth while making a sound of holding back the pain.

"Old Gu!" Ding Xiu and Song Xijun ran over, only to see that Gu Beimo's left arm was red, and there were already many blisters on it.

"I didn't pay attention, I slipped one into the cockpit." Gu Beimo had already lifted his sleeves, revealing the shocking wound on his arm, "This thing looks soft, and its teeth are so sharp." ”

"Where's the mutant swamp slug that bites you?" Ding Xiu asked.

"In the car, Xiao You grabbed it and was looking for a container to lock it up." Gu Beimo grinned in pain, and the wound was like a red-hot soldering iron.

"I'll get you some medicine." Song Xijun was startled when he saw Gu Beimo's wound, and hurriedly went back to the car to rummage through the medicines purchased in Tianque City.

"I'll get you some water to rinse it off." Ding Xiu said.

"Okay." Gu Beimo nodded, there was still a lot of black mucus left on his palm, which made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to touch the wound with his hands.

Ding Xiu dipped the clean towel he brought over with water to help Gu Beimo wipe the wound, and as soon as the towel touched the blisters there, the skin fell off piece by piece.

"Ah!!h Gu Beimo cried out in pain, he gritted his teeth again, and motioned to Ding Xiu: "Come again, just break all the blisters and see if the water inside will get better faster after it flows out." ”

Ding Xiu had some skills in dealing with wounds, he didn't do what Gu Beimo said, but first wiped off the stains around the blister, and then used a knife to pick the skin on the outer wall of the blister, and after the water inside was released, wash it off with a towel.

Song Xijun applied medicine to the wound that had broken open the skin, and the cool feeling brought by the medicine made Gu Beimo feel a little more comfortable.

"I'll drive your car later." Ding Xiu said and helped Gu Beimo's arm wrap a bandage.

Gu Beimo nodded, not reluctantly.

Song Xijun sat in the driver's seat, and Shen You changed to her side. The little girl looked at the car where Gu Beimo was from time to time, worried in her heart.

"Lao Gu will be fine, right?" She turned her head again and looked at Song Xijun with a worried expression.

"I don't know." Song Xijun shook his head, his expression was not very optimistic: "His wound doesn't look like an ordinary inflammation. ”

"What should I do?" Shen You said hurriedly.

"Hopefully the medicine will do the trick." Song Xijun prayed in her heart.

In the other car, Gu Beimo sat in the passenger seat and sighed incessantly.

"Hunting geese all day long was finally blinded by the peck of geese, alas."

"How are you feeling, feeling better?" Ding Xiu asked at him.

"It hurts hotly." Gu Beimo looked at the bandages on his arms and saw that the blood-soaked places were already black.

The stains on his palms had been wiped clean and looked like they didn't have much effect, but the wounds from the bite of the mutant swamp slugs were somewhat severe.

"It will take some time for the drug to take effect." He muttered to himself, as if to comfort himself.

"Don't hold on, if it really doesn't work, let's go back to Tianque City to find a doctor first." Ding Xiu persuaded.

"Hey, this little injury will go back to Tianque City? You can spare me, don't say that the old Meng seniors have to laugh at us, just those 200 bends of the winding mountain road will kill me. Gu Beimo smiled and deliberately made a relaxed gesture.

"Face is important." Ding Xiu continued to persuade: "Besides, I'll drive the mountain road." ”

"Let's talk about it." Gu Beimo thought for a while, but still shook his head.
