Two days have passed since the clean-up time, and the clean-up work in several major cities has entered the intermediate stage, and the rat swarms encountered underground are no longer the ordinary guys who can be electrocuted with a single shot.

Although there are still such guys who can be knocked down with one shot, there are more advanced rat swarms that require two or even three shots to kill.

As the encirclement gradually shrinks, several teams have begun to cooperate in many places, after all, this range is small, and sooner or later it will enter the range of friendly forces.

"Did you find any of these rats outside our encirclement?" Ryan asked the staff officer who came in to report.

"No, we have captured some sample rats in several other cities, and we have not found any genomes similar to those in the encirclement."

The staff officer handed a document to Zeng Tianhua and Ryan and continued: "Although this rat colony did not appear, there are still some virus infected people in nearby cities, and now the death toll has risen to 1,000. ”

Hearing such a large number of deaths, Zeng Tianhua and Ryan did not look very good, in the past hundred years, except for natural disasters such as major earthquakes or hurricanes and tsunamis, there have not been such large casualties, and the death toll is still rising.

"We can't intervene in this matter, we can only look at those creatures, the ability of virus experts, the sooner we get a vaccine, we can save more people." Ryan sighed.

"This purge is expected to enter the final stage by the fifth day, and it should be replaced by then."

"Indeed, the purpose of this exercise has been achieved, and the last remaining rats may not be able to deal with these young ones. How are the troops who have returned from space resting? ”

Hearing Ryan's question, the staff officer spoke: "We have assembled and rested, as long as we enter the final stage of attack, we can enter the battle immediately." Warframe units on the periphery have also been on standby nearby. ”

"I hope you don't use the armor troops, if they do, it means that these degenerates have created something terrible." Zeng Tianhua spoke after receiving the staff officer's answer.

"The maximum time limit for this operation should not exceed six days, otherwise if someone escapes the net, it will be surrounded again, and I don't want to do it again." Ryan said.

Just when he was worried about this group of rats, Zhang Heng in the queen's space woke up.

"Ahem." Zhang Heng, who woke up, was immediately choked and began to cough, but he soon didn't dare to cough, because every time he coughed, he caused a wound on his chest.

Zhang Heng floated in the healing pool and struggled to raise his head to look at the wound.

"Hey, I'm not dead, I almost thought I was hanging."

The tearing wound in his chest pierced through his heart, and if he hadn't been stronger, the praying mantis would have hung when he pulled out his forelimbs.

I still relied on the squeezing of my muscles to block and not lose my ability to move immediately, which is really fateful.

I really didn't expect that thing to be so fast, obviously I had checked the surrounding situation in the space, and I didn't find the metal mantis at all, and some were just a few very weak novice mantises.

"Queen, how long will it take for the injuries to heal?"

"It's going to take another day."

"Oh, it takes so long? It seems that the slow treatment of this fatal wound is still very time-consuming. ”

"How much energy reserves did you consume this time?"

"About fifty thousand points." The queen replied in a mechanical tone.

"Huh?" Zhang Heng's eyes immediately widened, "Fifty thousand points? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

It took so much, you have to know that you have only accumulated 100,000 yuan in the recent period of time, and now it has suddenly decreased by half.

After checking the data, Zhang Heng now has the heart to die, 50,000 points, which can allow him to go out for fifty minutes with his battle armor, and he doesn't know how many mutated mantis he can kill in these fifty minutes, and he will die.

"The host is sad?" After sensing Zhang Heng's emotions, the queen spoke.

"You don't need to care, anyway, you don't know what it means to be sad."

"Oh, actually, I think it's worth dying that the host almost died this time."

Damn, Zhang Heng immediately scolded: "Is this how you care about people?" If I really don't have time to come in at that time, I will die if I don't die, and if I don't die, I will have to be eaten into pieces. ”

"The host doesn't need to be sad, in fact, the host should really be grateful to that metal mantis, now that you have reached the late stage of the fifth level, as long as you work hard for a while, you may be able to reach the sixth level."

“。。。。。” You're lying to me.

"Host, have you forgotten that I mentioned last time that the magical liquid still has some residue in your body?"

Hearing the queen mention this, Zhang Heng remembered, it seems that he is really grateful to the bastard mantis.

"But even so, I still can't beat that guy, it's much faster, if it's slower, maybe I can still fight, can't I keep up with it, isn't it abused." Zhang Heng was a little frustrated, after all, he could only train himself by fighting on his own, and it was useless to rely on battle armor or something now.

"At least when the host is well, we can replenish a little bit of the lost energy, right?"

Well, Queen, you're not stupid now.

While Zhang Heng and the others were working hard, this change was slowly taking place in the wooden house.

Since devouring the farmer, the spherical cocoon in the room has stopped hatching new mantises, but has gone into hibernation.

The praying mantis, which had hatched, were now preying on all insects and even animals in the vicinity of the village, which was slowly starting to attract attention as several people had gone missing.

It is impossible for a small village to have no one who does not go out, no one who does not come in.

Villagers who do not go to work will be suspicious, and suspicion will give people a purpose to explore, after all, when the phone cannot be called, and the people who go out to see the village have no news, it is impossible not to attract the attention of others.

As the fourth day wore on, the nearby police began to drive here, but what awaited them was an attack by a group of praying mantises.

"Oh the hell, what the hell, fuck, get out of here." A group of small praying mantis spotted the police while they were foraging for food on the periphery, and then attacked.

The detective driving the police car immediately increased his horsepower and began to burst out of the mantis swarm.

The detective in the co-driver kept shooting, but fortunately these praying mantis were not as good as knives and guns, otherwise they wouldn't even escape.

"Headquarters, there is something wrong in Konoha Village, we were attacked by a group of extra-large praying mantises, and we asked for support.." Before the driver could finish reporting, the co-pilot found that his comrade-in-arms was missing the upper half of his head, and blood was spurting wildly.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?" The headquarters operator was still in contact, but all that was left was the sound of electricity and the crash of the car crashing at the end.

The operator's face was pale, is something big going to happen?
