Chapter 14: The Cocoon of Fear

Pushing open the creaking door, several lights swept through the dark hallway, and the sound of stray footsteps followed by the sound of robot 5 and the creaking machinery searching. Along the way, nothing was found except for a few cracked cocoons and scattered corpses that had been sucked dry of brains.

Climbing the radio telescope operation hall on the third floor, a large hole was broken in the glass dome covered with white silk, which was full of insect cocoons, and the abdomen three or four meters long stretched into the hole and wriggled, laying eggs in the hall one by one. On the large radio telescope, dozens of moths are lying quietly on it, flapping their wings. Wang Zhiyuan said quietly: "Everyone hurry up and turn off the lights, this kind of insect likes lights very much." ”

Everyone turned off the lights and pulled down the night vision goggles, Xu Zhiming glanced at the display screen on his arm and pointed, and a door not far away said: "The target data room is behind that door." ”

Let the crane gun at the end of the robot No. 5 slowly withdraw to guard the entrance of the building, Wang Zhiyuan and Zhou Jianguo took the two soldiers to quietly move the door next to each other, and gently pushed the door open, and inside was a large data analysis room. Backup generators are still working, and several large screens are projecting pictures of meteors crashing into the atmosphere.

Wang Zhiyuan leaned on a cabinet and said, "You go in to find someone, I'll cover you here." Seeing Zhou Jianguo gently knocking on the iron door of the data room, Wang Zhiyuan pressed the small USB flash drive on the palm of his hand and attached it to the cabinet, the small USB flash drive emitted blue light and vibrated slightly, and a small tentacle drilled through the cabinet, and dozens of seconds later, the Bluetooth headset received Cortana's voice: "Master Chief, it's okay, I'll start analyzing data now." ”

Zhou Jianguo walked out with the frail Dr. Zhang and a woman and two men holding laptops. Wang Zhiyuan whispered to a few people: "No matter what you see for a while, you can't panic and scream, otherwise we will all be finished." Zhou Jianguo asked the soldiers to give a bottle of water to several people, and made a gesture to leave after drinking.

The group quietly squatted on the ground and on the way back from the aisle, a boy's computer "banged" against the metal guardrail. Everyone held their breath and leaned against the guardrail partition and did not dare to look up, and several large moths stopped shaking their wings, turned their heads to look at the escalator, and continued to shake their wings.

Before leaving, the soldier who called the bomb put his backpack on the escalator and quietly closed the door. As soon as Wang Zhiyuan and the others arrived in the stairwell on the second floor, they heard a burst of screams mixed with gunshots outside.

The upstairs door also came with the sound of "tom ~ ~ tom tom" and the sound of crawling. Wang Zhiyuan shouted: "Turn on the lights and withdraw quickly, pay attention!" The grenade exploded. When he finished, he took out two grenades, pulled out the fuses and threw them on the stairs.

When I ran to the second floor, I saw a soldier being pounced on by several moths and sucking up brain plasma and body fluids, and another soldier was pierced into the thigh by the mouthparts of the moth, and shouted in a desperate struggle: "Everyone go quickly, the white powder on the moth's wings is poisonous, leave me alone." ”

Another moth stabbed its mouthparts into the warrior's shoulder, sucking the blood, and the warrior trembled and shouted, "Get out of here, grenades beware." He pulled the grenade in his hand and exploded into a cloud of blood. A group of people ran and fought, and ran to the hall on the first floor to find a lot of big moths and large meat maggots in the hall.

Robot No. 5 and Zhou Jianguo fired fiercely with machine guns, and Wang Zhiyuan gave the grenade bag to the bomberman himself with AK47, constantly shooting at the chasing moth.

Scattered bullet casings cost the life of a soldier, finally extinguished the moth in the hall, Bomberman blew up the stairwell with a pack of grenades, and a group of people with a few scientists threw off their legs and finally ran into the car.

As soon as the vehicle started, there was a loud bang at the observatory, and a pillar of fire dozens of meters high rose into the sky, Wang Zhiyuan took the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Hurry up, I don't know how many moths there are, and the ammunition is about to be unable to resist." "A tank and two infantry combat vehicles, a jeep drove at high speed towards the exit, and the convoy had just driven to the square of the living quarters.

A huge black shadow swooped down on the jeep, its mouthparts pierced through the roof, fluttered its wings and flipped over the jeep and flew into the woods on the side of the road. The two infantry chariots stopped and turned their turrets, and fired a burst of 30 cannons at the giant moths in the air.

The giant moth was hit in the abdomen a few times, trembling and sprinkling mucus, and flew into the woods, Wang Zhiyuan took the intercom and shouted: "Don't stop, otherwise no one will be able to leave." Before he could finish speaking, the giant moth flew out of the forest with a large number of moths and pounced on the convoy.

Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly took the rest of the materials and clicked the printing process of 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets, and then put the last 6 boxes of heavy machine gun ammunition and Robot No. 5 in half, and let Robot No. 5 climb out of the turret and prepare to shoot. As Wang Zhiyuan began to shoot frantically with a coaxial machine gun, almost all the weapons of the convoy that could be used against the air began to fire fiercely.

The bomberman opened the hatch and carried a red tube to send out a missile, the missile was wrapped in white fog and flew out more than ten meters, then spread its wings and sprayed a long tail flame, rushing into the moth swarm and exploding into a cloud of white smoke. Wang Zhiyuan looked at his heart and said, "What's the situation, at the critical moment, it's a dumb?" Isn't that a pit to death? ”

Before he could react, a large fireball of dozens of meters broke out in the middle of the black-pressed moth swarm, and a large area of charred moths fluttered and fell behind the convoy. Seeing that it was about to reach the mouth of the valley, the giant moth pounced on Zhou Jianguo's infantry chariot at the end again, bent the barrel of the 30 guns, and pierced the armor on the top of the turret of the infantry chariot.

Zhou Jianguo opened the roof of the cockpit and held the machine gun and fired wildly at the two tires-sized compound eyes in front of him. Wang Zhiyuan also changed the machine gun bullets, and used the coaxial machine gun to shoot at the back of the giant moth.

Finally, after the giant moth was smashed in its eyes and wings, it was knocked off the roof of the car by Xu Zhiming's infantry chariot with 30 cannons from the side. The fallen giant moth had its belly and eyes shattered, and it was dripping with mucus, and it flapped its wings and followed the convoy into the valley.

Suddenly, sand and dust burst from several places on the mountain wall, and several long-legged insects several meters long jumped onto the roofs of tanks and infantry vehicles. gnawed everywhere, Zhou Jianguo's roof was no longer 30 cannons, and a hole was torn open, and a bloody soldier was dragged out.

Wang Zhiyuan kept firing with a coaxial machine gun, and the insects on the roofs of the two infantry chariots were hit by machine gun bullets, Zhou Zhiming's infantry chariot turned the turret and fired several 30 cannons at Wang Zhiyuan's turret, which smashed the long insects climbing on it, and the infantry chariot opened the side hatch and threw a few canisters out.

There was a strong flash and explosion, Wang Zhiyuan only felt dizzy and his eyes ached. scolded: "Throwing so many shock bombs and flash grenades so close can you give notice in advance." "The insect that was about to jump on the mountain wall rolled down in an instant, and fell around the giant moth behind it.

Three large insects wrapped around the giant moth and began to bite non-stop, and the giant moth flapped its wings, rolled all over the ground and struggled a few times before not moving. Wang Zhiyuan changed to the gunner's seat and faced the stump slime flying in the valley where a 150-mm tank grenade exploded into a ball of insects and a 150-mm tank grenade, and the valley was also filled with large pieces of sand and gravel rolled down from the mountain walls on both sides.
