The big red tank drove on the sunny highway and basically encountered no obstacles, and it took a little time to clean up the scattered abandoned vehicles, and it took more than an hour to reach the fork in the Yazi Lake Scenic Area.

Looking through the captain's observation glass, the reeds stretching for dozens of kilometers on the horizon in the distance, and a pool of blue water sparkling in the middle in the sun, everything looked extraordinarily peaceful and serene.

Xia Lingyun said proudly: "It's really beautiful here, right?" It's basically the same as when I came a few years ago. ”

Wang Zhiyuan looked at the area of the lake on the electronic map and said: "Cortana ~ raised the drone to hover around the tank, such a big thing rushed into the atmosphere and the ground must have left obvious traces, recalculate the trajectory in the hope that it will not fall into the lake." ”

Cortana projected a virtual scene of the entire Duck Lake and said: "Master Chief ~ This lake area is very large, with an area of about 3,445 square kilometers, and the chance of finding it if the falling object really falls into the lake is very low. ”

Xia Lingyun started the tank and said: "There is a resort center in the bay seven or eight kilometers southeast of Duck Lake, go there and see maybe there will be some records, the lake is full of wetlands, and there are not many places suitable for heavy tanks." ”

Because the two-lane scenic highway is unattended, the dense reeds have spread to both sides of the road, Wang Zhiyuan looked at the swaying reeds on both sides and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable uneasiness.

The red tank was particularly eye-catching in the reeds more than a meter high, and Wang Zhiyuan now regretted making it red.

Originally, I thought that animals are generally naturally afraid of bright eyes, but the reality along the way tells others that the color is completely different from that of insects.

was thinking about the various colors of the tank in his mind, when suddenly several praying mantis insects jumped onto the tank turret from the reeds on both sides of the road and smashed the armor above Wang Zhiyuan's head.

Wang Zhiyuan, who was startled, immediately pressed the button of the anti-climbing air-burst projectile on the tactical screen, and the iron rain that exploded on the top of the tank poured down, and hundreds of shampnel instantly smashed the backs and heads of the two praying mantis insects into a smithereal.

Unfolded two robotic arms, plus the automatic machine gun of the armored RV behind, threw all three praying mantis insects that jumped up from the tank in a few clicks.

Wang Zhiyuan felt wrong when he saw that there were only three of them, and thought: "The insects of the Zerg all act in an even way. ”

immediately shouted to Xia Lingyun: "Cortana~ take over the tank pilot, prepare to catapult the Suzaku drone, track in the direction of the lake, at least one more Zerg don't let you run, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we invite the swarm." ”

The Vermilion Bird drone spun sideways in the air and flew towards the lake, and sure enough, Xia Lingyun found the fleeing praying mantis in less than two minutes.

Two reddish-brown praying mantis beetles cut a blue wave through the reeds and fled towards a woodland near the lake.

Just as the praying mantis insect fled to the edge of the woodland, two rockets screamed and shattered the one behind it, and the praying mantis insect running in front was blown into the dense bushes outside the woodland by a strong shock wave.

After the Suzaku drone circled and came back, Xia Lingyun looked at the dense bushes on the bridge screen and stuck out her tongue and said, "This is a mess, a target was blown into the bushes and lost its target." ”

Wang Zhiyuan looked at Xia Lingyun, who was full of apologies, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, don't worry too much, the abdomen of the hind leg that was blown off must be almost rotten, and it shouldn't be long to live." ”

Xia Lingyun frowned and leaned over and said, "Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't die and ran back and attracted a group of bugs?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan took out a bouncy ball camera and threw it out of the hatch and said, "Don't you think this side of Duck Lake is abnormal?" Starting from the windbreak, all the plants and trees along the way are uprooted and eaten clean, and this reed woodland is lush and green, as if anything had happened. ”

Xia Lingyun nodded and said, "Yes~ I don't think I think if you don't say it." ”

Wang Zhiyuan glanced at the praying mantis insect that was crushed into slag by the vehicle behind from the eyeball camera and said: "It shows that there is something restricting here, the expansion of those long-distance migratory herbivorous insects, of course, including alien insects."

Otherwise, with my understanding of the Zerg, this lakeshore has already become the hive base of the Zerg, and we should be greeted by overwhelming Zerg, but now? I saw a few mantis insects scouting. ”

Talking was beyond the range of the eyeball camera, and I arrived at the empty parking lot of the Duck Lake Resort, where the dilapidated security booth on the side of the road was overgrown with fungus.

Parking sent Robot 5 to check it out, and forcibly broke open the dented iron door of the security booth, and the withered body of a security guard inside was covered with fungus rods.

His limbs were stiff on the ground, his head was raised high, and the broken fungus rod was scattered from his mouth, covering most of his upper body.

Wang Zhiyuan saw a thick stack of moldy travel manuals on the table, and asked Robot No. 5 to take a copy and open it, which detailed the standard of the functional area map of the tourist area and all the play items.

Looking at the scenic spot management center building marked on the map, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Cortana ~ first go to the management center building to see, I saw a lot of surveillance cameras along the way, I hope their monitoring equipment can finally take pictures of the fall point." ”

The shallow waters along the lake are littered with the dried remains of various creatures, and zergs, humans, crabs, lobsters, and mosquitoes all die in the water in a strange way.

The tank slowed down, and Wang Zhiyuan carefully observed a small group of more than a dozen people by the lake, all of whom were drowning in the lake with their faces facing the water surface, which was less than one meter deep.

When passing by a striking sign with a depth of one meter in shallow water, Wang Zhiyuan vaguely felt that the strange picture in front of him was very similar to a movie that the teacher had told in the classroom before.

Xia Lingyun looked at the more and more corpses that were swollen by the water blisters by the lake, and ran to the gunner's seat with some fear, hugged Wang Zhiyuan's arm tightly and said, "Is this lake water poisonous?" How to drown so many creatures and so many people. ”

Wang Zhiyuan pointed to the human remains and said, "It's not strange that we've seen a lot of dead people or something, but there are dead creatures by this lake."

Whether it is a human or other creature, the corpse is basically intact, and there is no trace of a large amount of gnawing, don't you think it's strange? ”

Passing through the commercial street crowded with shops, Cortana parked the tank in the square 20 meters in front of the management center building, Wang Zhiyuan put on a gas mask and said: "I'll take Robot No. 5 to take a look inside, you use the drone to reconnoiter the surroundings, and notify me of any new discoveries." ”

After saying that, he pushed open the top cover and jumped out of the tank, ran into the maintenance compartment in a few steps, put on power armor and brought an automatic shotgun and a newly obtained HK416.

He walked in after Robot 5, forcibly pushing open the glass door full of dried corpses, most of the dried corpses were gnawed and broken, there was no look of horror on his face, and his hands covered his throat and his tongue spat out.
