Chapter 16: You're Blocking My Cool Breeze
The billowing smoke and dust slowly fell, and everything around them gradually returned to calm, but the originally vibrant forest fell into boundless loneliness. Except for the huge trees that were broken here and there, and the bushes that had been destroyed, almost all the creatures that could move fled the area.
However, at this moment, the surface of a broken tree slowly protruded, and a small head broke through the ground directly, looking nervously around.
Two large large large teeth with an exposed mouth, grayish-yellow fur, and long, hard nails on the exposed forelimbs indicate that this is a mutated little groundhog.
Twisting his head cautiously, checking for danger around him, his body slid slightly, ready to flee back to the dirt road at any moment. There was nothing in the surrounding environment except for the fallen leaves blown by the wind.
Such a safe environment finally allowed the frightened bird-like little marmot to leave the burrow and forage for food in the distance.
"Rustle, rustle."
The sound of footsteps sounded slowly, and it was particularly abrupt in this dense forest. I saw two tall figures, under the sunlight, walking forward.
Suddenly, I found that one of the figures was very similar to those monsters just now, with black scale armor, a huge stinky mouth, a big body, and one claw could flatten my thick limbs, all of which looked so bloody and terrifying under the shadow of the sun.
For a while, the little groundhog who was holding this broken eggshell fell into a short period of sluggishness.
"Are you devils?"
This situation made the little groundhog tremble like cramps, but it could only watch them slowly approach, unable to move a single step.
Looking at the scale armor glowing with cold light in front of him, looking at the huge eyes in front of him that are getting closer and closer to him, in the ice blue pupils, the little groundhog seems to see the scene of his head being bitten off, and blood is splashing.
A scream finally came out of the marmot's mouth. As if the shackles had been opened, under the control of infinite fear, the little groundhog galloped to the west like a ray of light, and plunged into the earth hole together.
"Squeak .....!"
The sudden cry made Bai Chang slightly deviate to the right, and a yellowish figure could be seen flashing in the afterglow.
Hey~
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Chang's eyes, he didn't expect that there were still small things moving, in the face of disasters, the death of powerful lives, the survival of weak lives, it seems that the law of the jungle is not just the law of the jungle. Bai Chang's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought lightly.
Looking at 03, who didn't know when he was lying on the ground, Bai Chang raised his eyebrows slightly, patted its head, and motioned it to get up. 03, who stood up, shook his head slightly, and winked at Bai Chang, with a hint of stupidity.
As if to remind Bai Chang of something, two slender tentacles pointed in one direction. Bai Chang nodded slightly and ran forward, whistling at the same time, motioning for 03 to follow.
..............................
The wasteland full of eyes is even more dilapidated under the sweep of the insect tide. However, at this moment, a small puff of smoke slowly rose, from far and near. The red insect beetle on the yellow-brown surface gradually appeared, which was so eye-catching.
If there is only one red-cracked beetle, running alone in the desolate wilderness, it is indeed a bit surprising. Just seeing the dog-legged worm that followed closely behind it all the way, while constantly baring its teeth, its behavior didn't seem so weird.
The dog's head was topped by wriggling mouthparts, and black liquid splashed out with their roar, giving people an inexplicable nausea. The forelimbs with a razor-sharp cold light like a dog-legged knife swung forward as they ran, attacking the red figures that writhed in front of them.
A cold light flashed, and a thumb-wide wound was added to the back of the red cleft beetle, but the red cleft beetle did not react, as if it did not feel pain, and continued to run forward.
The four pairs of insect limbs kept waving on the surface, splashing bursts of smoke and dust, turning left and right, and for a while, the team of dog-legged insects behind them still had a tendency to be thrown farther and farther away by it.
And the most interesting thing is that no matter how flustered the red cracked beetle is, it always bites a brown glass ball in its mouth. It's just that biting the glass ball for a long time makes it difficult to close its upper and lower jaws, and drops of light red saliva continue to drip down, making it look extremely embarrassed.
If you look at this scene from a high altitude, you will see a red figure and a group of black-brown figures, chasing and fleeing, slowly approaching a small hill.
.......................
"Ahh
A breeze blew, and a little fishy air poured directly into Bai Chang's nostrils, making Bai Chang sneeze directly. Rubbing his nose, Bai Chang felt a burst of consciousness that he had never felt before.
"Thieves stink." While commenting lightly, he silently covered his mouth and nose.
Bai Chang doesn't feel good right now, not just because of the bad smell here. After chasing for a long time in this boundless wasteland, the female worm and his own induction disappeared at once, followed by a sharp pain in the soul.
Bai Chang knows what that means. This is not the first Gu worm he has died, and at the same time, Bai Chang also believes that this is definitely not the last. In this fucking apocalypse, Bai Chang can't guarantee that he will be safe at all times, let alone an insect with no offensive power.
It's just that some things are always inexplicable, like when you're used to something around you, and one day when it's gone, you won't feel a lot of discomfort.
Bai Chang didn't feel angry, nor was he too sad, after all, he was just a bug, after all, in this last world where he never knew the next moment, Bai Chang had experienced something far more devastating than this. The more you go through, the more you get used to it.
It's just that Bai Chang slightly remembers that when someone fought for life and death for a mouthful of dirty steamed buns, and killed each other; When someone leaves each other for a bite of rotten meat full of maggots, relatives and friends draw knives against each other; When someone's hungry eyes are red, they eat and fight for human flesh.
There was a little guy who had been quietly bringing himself plenty of food, and that's it.
Its IQ is not high, or even has no IQ, and its consciousness will always have only three words to express to itself:
"I'm going to rest."
"I can work."
"I'm hungry."
Even if Bai Chang only signed the lowest-level master-slave Gu spell with it, even if Bai Chang sometimes only used it as a tool. However, this does not mean that Shiro Chang does not care about it.
The tenacity of insects can be seen in the period of civilization, and as their own Gu worms, even if they are squeezed of their potential, they can be alive for a few weeks. This is also the reason why Bai Chang is in a relaxed mood during the tracking process. But it was only less than two days, and his Gu worm died directly, and for a while, Bai Chang didn't know what to say.
It's like a couple of thieves who stole apples from their own apple trees and cut down my trees. To be honest, Bai Chang was not angry, but it just made Bai Chang's originally relaxed state of mind suddenly sink and be a little unhappy.
The mother worm died, the induction was broken, and Bai Chang didn't know how to find the so-called trap in this endless wilderness. I didn't have any interest for a while, I just wanted to rest a little on this small hill, relieve the residual pain in my brain, and then wait for those guys to come out of the ruins, that's all.
Now, after being swept by the insect tide, this place will not be approached by other creatures for a few days, so it is extremely safe, and this is the reason why Bai often dares to lie on the hill.
Squinting slightly, looking at the gray sky, Bai Chang didn't know what he was thinking.
03, who was originally bouncing around Bai Chang, gradually realized that there was something wrong with Bai Chang, and slowly half-lay next to Bai Chang, and two slender insect whiskers gently pointed to the ground in front of him.
I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air......
As if thinking of something, 03 glanced at Bai Chang slightly, and then moved his body silently, blocking the cold wind blowing towards Bai Chang.
”03。”
Bai Chang, who was lying in large characters, called softly.
"Squeak?"
The blue pupils looked at Bai Chang, as if asking Bai Chang what he was doing.
"Hold me out of the cool breeze."
“.......”
