Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 228, Beetnet Night Attack
To be honest, I'm looking forward to having a mackerel dinner at night, and although I've been doing this for so many years, I've never eaten cooked monster meat seriously. There have been a few times in the past when I really didn't have anything to eat in the jungle, so I had to roast it over the fire to fill my stomach after killing the monster, but the taste was really not flattering.
"Well, I have to say, this mackerel bone tastes pretty good." I chewed on the pieces of meat in front of me, and the taste of mackerel meat was a bit similar to that of yellow croaker, more delicious and more tender, and I couldn't imagine why the meat was so delicious because of their strong bodies. I want to bite someone, but I am a delicacy myself.
"I think if this thing can be artificially bred on a large scale, it may be able to be used as a good dish on the table of ordinary people." The former Li Yulang said with a smile.
The two of us were eating, when someone in the center of the cafeteria suddenly raised his glass and shouted: "I propose that everyone have a toast, for today's victory against that group of demon beasts, this is our first victory since we went to sea, it is worth a drink!" ”
The person who proposed to raise the glass was a close confidant of Deputy Director Xia, and I guess he wanted to take the opportunity to pat Deputy Director Xia's ass, and sure enough, after everyone happily drank a glass, he immediately shouted again: "I propose again, for today's victory, let us pay tribute to our great Director Xia, he is the most outstanding leader of our 507 Institute." ”
This sycophant is also straightforward enough, but Deputy Director Xia looks very useful with a spring breeze on his face. However, there were not many people who raised their glasses this time, at least Zhong Banian and Yue Yi did not raise their glasses, and Li Xuan and Ying Long were unmoved. However, this still did not affect the lively atmosphere, and a group of people who were counting on Deputy Director Xia to enjoy the meal raised their cups one after another, and then drank heavily.
I sat with the former Li Yulang and watched the play, and I didn't participate in it. I can vaguely feel that if a fierce war really breaks out, the split between the parties and groups will definitely have an impact. I can't see how deep the impact is now, but there will be a day when I can see it.
After eating, I carried the packed lunch box into the cabin, there was no TV to watch, and Nagisa Youdu, who could only listen to the vague broadcast, was almost bored to death, so I took the lunch box and immediately ate it. The former Li Yulang watched it eat, and suddenly said with a smile: "Don't all monsters eat raw food?" Blood, meat, eat a lot. How do you eat the food we cook so vigorously? ”
Nagisa glanced at him and said, "Don't underestimate us, it's not your human talent to make a fire and cook." Although we also eat raw food, it doesn't mean that we don't eat cooked food. Evolution and cultivation have reached our point, and we enjoy the pleasure of food rather than filling our stomachs. Raw food has the advantages of raw food, and cooked food has the deliciousness of cooked food, but you Japanese people don't eat raw food every day? ”
"Can that be the same? Our 'Sashimi' is the essence of the cuisine and reflects the original taste of the fish. This is the same reason that Westerners like to eat medium-rare steaks. The former Li Yulang immediately argued.
"Hehe, you talk about food in front of us Chinese? ? I laughed and scolded next to me with a cigarette, and the former Li Yulang flattened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Sitting on the bed, looking at the dark sea outside the window, I knew in my heart: today's battle with Bagu is just the beginning, and there will be more battles in the future.
It was late at night, and the sailors on duty were laughing and drinking beer.
"When I go back this time, I'm going to retire." A middle-aged sailor who looked older and had a scruffy beard said with a smile.
"Really? What do you plan to do when you retire? When the young sailors next to him heard this, they hurriedly spoke.
"I don't know, maybe I went to work in a company owned by a relative at home, and I have been running at sea for a long time, and my wife and children don't see each other a few times a year. I'm getting older, so it's time to settle down. ”
As a sailor on an ocean voyage, you spend most of the year at sea, and it is not uncommon not to go home for months on end. Although the income is good, the life of the sun and rain, the wind and rain and the absence of home can not last long, so after accumulating a little money, the sailor will basically choose to retire as soon as possible, unless he can achieve the degree of the second officer, coupled with the feeling of homesickness, the sailor is not something that everyone can do.
"Congratulations......" The young sailors around him immediately wished.
The older sailor smiled, took a sip of his beer, and shouted, "I'll go up there and see what is going on." ”
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the observation post, and in the strong wind he took out a somewhat wrinkled photograph of a beautiful young woman holding a beautiful girl about a year or two old. The older sailor smiled and said, "Wait for Dad, Dad will be back soon." ”
However, he never had a chance to see his wife and daughter again, and a cold light in the wind pierced his neck, and the older sailor only felt a slight pain in his neck, and with a light touch, under the light of the ship's lights, he saw blood all over his hands. He frowned, and saw a small black shadow flying in front of him under the light, and he reached out to grab the small shadow, but everything he saw in front of him suddenly blurred, and then his body slowly fell backwards, and finally fell heavily to the ground, and died silently...... The photograph drifted away in the wind, with the regret and soul of the lonely sailor, and disappeared in the dark night.
I was sleeping in the cabin, and I was sleeping very lightly because I was afraid of a monster attack at night, and at this moment I heard a small sound outside, so I opened my eyes and got up. By the way, he kicked the former Li Yulang, and this guy woke up smartly, blinked and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a strange voice, do you hear that?" I asked.
Qianli Yulang rubbed his eyes and shook his head: "No, I didn't hear it." ”
"Ding...... The strange noise of the bell ...... became clearer and clearer, and I listened intently, and gradually walked to the window of the cabin, and looked out through the window. Seeing a dark shadow flying back and forth outside the window, constantly hitting the thick window glass, I picked up the flashlight on the table and shone it out, and this time I could see what the little thing that hit the window was! It was something like a beetle, and a bit like a bee. The body is yellow and red, but the color is relatively dull, the wings are longer than the body, the eyes are large, and there are two tentacles on the head. It is said to resemble a beetle because it has a hexagonal carapace on its back, whereas it is said to resemble a bee because of the spike that grows on its ass.
"Bell ......" It kept striking, and the sound coming from the window could tell that it was hitting with a lot of force.
"What is this? Where do the bugs come from at sea? I said strangely, and the former Li Yulang also came over, and his face was full of doubts when he saw it. At this moment, the walkie-talkie on the table rang, and the voice of the old man Tao shouted at us: "Ba Xiaoshan, there is an accident outside, you bring someone out." ”
Knowing what had happened, the former Li Yulang and I immediately changed our clothes and rushed out of the cabin, leaving only Nagisa who was sleeping soundly.
I ran to the deck with the wooden box on my back, and only then did I understand what the old man Tao meant when he said that something had happened. There were a lot of people standing on the deck, and they were all fighting, and the object of these battles was actually a group of black shadows flying in the air, and these black shadows revealed their true bodies under the searchlight, exactly like the bugs I had just seen in the window. But there are obviously a lot more of them, flying densely in mid-air, their wings vibrating and making a "......buzzing" sound. Several people took the spirit runes that released flames and tried to attack the insects in the air, but these insects were very smart, or rather very powerful. When the flames are released, they immediately dodge and then take the opportunity to attack the people next to them. Several people have been tricked and are lying on the ground, and they don't know if they are dead. Several of Deputy Director Xia's subordinates are directing the battle, and although the situation is grim, it is not yet a disaster. Old man Tao stood on the deck with a few researchers to observe and record these flying insects, I hurriedly walked over, and Old Man Tao waved again and again when he saw me.
"What are these things? Tao Lao. ”
"It should be beetlefish, a swarm-dwelling poisonous earth beast."
