Chapter 16: Red Beetles

At this time, the flames of shrapnel explosions in the convoy raged, and the flames tore through the thick blood mist, revealing bursts of light.

The roars and hoarse snorts of the warriors could be faintly heard.

It was clear that the convoy had been attacked.

It's not zombies, the zombies around it were cleared as early as the first time the convoy set up camp, and they were a bunch of bug-like things. Each insect was the size of a millstone, and on its back was a carapace with a hard, somewhat odd crimson pattern.

"Red beetle."

Qin Ming saw the red of this sign from a long distance, unlike zombies, these insect swarms appeared with the blood mist, and they were dispatched in groups, which was extremely difficult, and the crimson carapace could allow them to resist most of the thermal kinetic energy weapons. The mouthparts hidden in the abdomen can spew highly corrosive mucus, which can be many times worse than burns once contaminated, and this insect also has a terrifying ability to move, it is very difficult, and the only weakness is the only abdomen that is not covered by a carapace, which is extremely soft and even edible.

I don't know how the convoy could provoke these things.

Qin Ming was a little irritable.

Although his current quality is amazing, after all, he has not yet awakened the ability, and I don't know if the ability that is about to be unlocked now is the ability of the previous life: blazing.

Qin Ming and Wang Wei still began to slowly touch the convoy.

At this time, there were probably more than 50 bugs around the convoy.

Qin Ming was originally going to let Wang Wei find a place to hide, although his ability was very strong, he had not fully awakened, and there was still a period of adaptation before he could slowly master his strength. But Wang Wei insisted on following him, and Qin Ming acquiesced when he looked at him, only fighting was the best way to adapt.

At this time, on the side of the convoy, the soldiers gathered around the car in the middle of the survivors, and kept shooting, although these ammunition could not penetrate the carapace of these insects, but the kinetic energy really hit the body of the insect swarm, stopping their advance. Chu Chenggong led the few Chosen Ones to constantly use his ability to resist the invasion of these zergs on the periphery.

"After holding on for five minutes, preparing to break through, hasn't Qin Ming come back yet?"

Chu Chenggong stood at the front of the convoy, a finger-thick steel bar around him kept flying, the steel bar pierced the air and made a sharp whistling sound, constantly hitting the carapace one by one, the carapace was not broken, but after many impacts, the insects in the carapace were smashed to pieces, roared in pain, and finally lost all their vitality, lying on the ground with a heavy carapace and gradually not moving.

But at this time, the sweat on Chu Chenggong's forehead showed that his physical strength was running out.

Originally, it would take a lot of physical strength to control this ability, and it would not be possible to use the ability for a long time, and this embarrassing situation was not until later, when scientists made enhancements with the help of blood mist and alien creatures, the situation gradually improved, but it was also a symptom rather than a cure, because the enhancement agent can only be used three times in a person's life, and excessive use will cause human beings to distort and degenerate into monsters similar to the raw materials used to make enhancement potions.

Later, human beings had no choice but to continue researching, and finally found a way to improve their abilities through practice.

Of course, that's all for later, and the priority at this time is to deal with this swarm of bugs.

At this time, several Chosen Ones were guarding in four directions, each guarding the defensive line, preventing the insects from tearing through the defensive line and fighting into the line, and then it would really be a heavy casualty.

Several of the Chosen ones used their abilities at this time, unleashing their abilities with all their might.

One of the people covered by cold ice attracted Qin Ming's attention, this person stood on the roof of a car, his hands continued to spray bursts of cold air, all the red beetles that were swept by the cold air would soon fall into a state of slow movement, the beetles that were originally traveling at high speed were extremely difficult to be hit by ordinary soldiers, and at this time, due to the slowdown in movement, they all turned into turtle shells, giving other soldiers the opportunity to gather fire, and also giving heavy weapons enough time to prepare.

At this time, the opportunity was caught, and the soldiers behind were concentrating on the output, all kinds of heavy artillery, ammunition poured towards the slowed down insects, drowning them, and then there were broken carapaces and a smell of burning, the blood of these dead red beetles splashed on the armor coating of the armored car, and then the armor layer was slowly corroded, melted, and melted out of a big hole.

Some of the soldiers were accidentally splashed on their bodies, and they fainted in pain, and the place that was originally stained with blood was first melted into a small hole, and then began to spread along these small holes, impregnating the surrounding biological tissue. The corrosiveness of these blood is even more perverted to organic matter, but fortunately, the comrade-in-arms next to him quickly drew out a tactical dagger and slashed it down, saving his life.

At this time, the battle line of the entire convoy is tight, even with the help of the Chosen One, the convoy is also in a bitter battle, and the battle line may be broken at any time, once a red beetle rushes into the defense line, it is a chain reaction, and if it is not solved quickly, it is the collapse of the entire battle situation.

"Squad leader, those bugs are coming up again. Monitor? ......”

At this time, on the Ice Man (Ice Breathing Chosen One) battle line, behind the improvised bunker, a soldier with a QBZ rifle shrank his head, glanced at it, and aimed at the leg of a red beetle that was slowed down. After hitting a shuttle, he reported to the squad leader, and when he turned around, he found that the squad leader's chest was stained with a blue-green bloodstain, and at this time there was only a big hole left in the squad leader's chest, which was still eroding the limbs around it.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, pursed his mouth, the squad leader treated him very well and took good care of him, but he died.

At this point, the swarm is approaching.

The soldier pulled out a grenade and threw it, the grenade exploded, and the bugs still broke through the smoke.

"How can I help you get revenge."

The insects pounced in the air, the mouthparts covered under the carapace wriggled wildly, and the mucus flowed wildly, as if they couldn't wait to taste the delicious food in front of them.

The soldier had already closed his eyes, and although the ice man standing in the car saw that the bugs were about to kill the soldier and rush into the defense line, he could only watch from too far away.

"Poof"

The sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh was heard, followed by the painful hiss of the worms.

When the soldier opened his eyes, he was greeted by a monstrous mouth, which continued to hiss, and looked very painful. Eyes downward, a spear pierced through the abdomen, destroying the entire internal organs, and the spear was quickly melted.

Soon, dark green mucus flowed out of the insect's mouth and wound as if it didn't need money, and fell to the ground with a "poof" sound.

The soldier was so frightened that he quickly ducked, he knew the power of the slime.

Immediately after, a man walked past him, it was Qin Ming.

The spear was destroyed, Qin Ming casually picked up a QBZ rifle, skillfully changed the magazine and began to shoot.

In his previous life, he also had some contact with firearms, as for the quasi-head?

With his current physical reflexes and dynamic capture ability, the sharpshooter and pistol skills in the average army may not be more accurate than him.

Qin Ming shot several hurried shots in a row. The gun hit the joint of the red beetle, and finally when Qin Ming's seventh shot hit, the red beetle fell to the ground with a pop, and his leg was broken.

Qin Ming hurriedly got into the car and met Chu Chenggong.

"Chu Chenggong, the map has been drawn."

Chu Chenggong also noticed Qin Ming's arrival, and said while controlling the iron bar waving in the air

"All ready, retreat." ”

After saying that, a few Chosen ones began to lead the team and shrink the battle line.

Then, in Qin Ming's somewhat stunned eyes.

The ice man who received the retreat order continued to spew out white air currents from his hands at this time, and ice crystals began to condense in the air, Chu Chenggong interspersed a few steel bars just right, making the ice wall that was about to be formed more solid, and soon, an ice wall tens of meters long was formed, isolating the convoy from the insects, and the insects collided wildly outside the ice wall.

However, the red beetle itself is a fire-attribute creature, born with a fear of cold, coupled with the reinforcement of steel bars in the ice, it is difficult to be destroyed in a short time, and these insects can only watch the convoy go away.

I could only hiss helplessly and watched the convoy go away.

At this time, the convoy also suffered heavy casualties, and the convoy was almost wiped out by this wave of insect swarms, as long as one side of the defense line was torn apart, its combined effect would lead to the slaughter of the entire convoy of soldiers. But fortunately, it was gone.

Ice Man fell into a coma after constructing a large area of ice wall. That kind of ice wall, to be honest, even Qin Ming, who had a wide range of knowledge, was a little shocked.

After all, this is only the beginning of the end of the world, and the method of improving power has not yet appeared.

It seems that he is going to unlock the gene lock as soon as possible.
