Chapter 22: The Weakness of the Bug
Gu Chaoge sat in a pool of blood without any scruples, panting heavily.
Sun Yi and Zhou Hao also wiped a handful of cold sweat, and there were still fine beads of sweat on their faces at this moment, looking at Gu Chaoge, shaking their heads and saying, "I almost scared out of a heart attack." ”
The situation just now was really dangerous, I didn't expect the speed of this kind of bug to be so fast, just in an instant, all the bugs came to life and immediately launched an attack.
If Gu Chaoge hadn't caught the ice coffin crumbs at the last moment and swallowed it directly in his mouth to hold his breath, I'm afraid he would already be crawling with insects.
The only takeaway was that they proved their previous suspicions and discovered that just holding the crumbs of the ice coffin in their mouths, such as under their tongues, could restore their five senses to normal, even without holding their breath.
The reason, Gu Chaoge guessed, may be because of the connection between the mouth and nose.
Of course, they didn't have to hold their breath anymore, and they finally smelled the pungent smell of blood, and the smell of blood permeated the whole building, mixed with the smell of corpses, extremely unpleasant, almost stinking.
The crumbs of the ice coffin in their mouths exuded a slight coolness, and they did not melt, which also made Sun Yi and Zhou Hao completely believe Gu Chaoge's words, it was not a drug at all, but some kind of strange substance.
When Gu Chaoge retrieved the ice coffin debris, the insects suddenly lost their aggressiveness, and soon all stopped back on the walls and ceilings, slowly squirming until they fell asleep.
This silkworm-like insect has fangs similar to the action of mosquitoes, which can instantly pierce human skin.
Gu Chaoge still remembered seeing a wound the size of a needle's eye on Lao Tan's body, which was punctured by this kind of bug, and this kind of bug has a certain ability, which can make the blood flow of the human body intensify through its twitching, and it will be pulled out of the blood vessels very quickly, and the body of the worm will be like a "channel" in this instant, it will suck human blood into the body and discharge it, and its milky white body will become blood red in the process.
Bugs don't devour blood, it's just a way for bugs to kill people, draining the target's blood.
Bugs draw blood very quickly, even if a bug can't kill people quickly, but if a group of bugs crawl on a person, then I'm afraid it can drain the blood of an adult's whole body in an instant.
The people who died here, including Lao Tan, were probably killed by countless insects at the same time, so the blood stains covered the floor.
And these insects can also spin silk, which is an extremely thin but extremely tough silk, and when the strands of white silk are entangled, it is difficult for even a strong adult man to break free.
"This kind of bug is unheard of at all, is it the product of biological mutation?" Zhou Hao opened his mouth, suspecting that someone was raising this insect by some kind of biotechnological means.
Gu Chaoge thought more, the ice coffin debris contained vitality, if these insects did not attack them because of vitality, then did it mean that the insects themselves might also have vitality?
He was shocked in his heart, he once remembered that Zhu Haitang said that in her world, low-level intelligent beings live in the environment of vitality all year round, and some of them will also enter some kind of evolution, such as mosquitoes, which can even be as large as an eagle, easily sucking a person dry.
But he couldn't believe that there were not even a few humans on the earth who had entered the evolution, and they could only evolve with the rare vitality of the ice coffin debris, how could anyone have spawned such a large number of insect swarms.
So how did these bugs come about?
"Isn't there anything we can do with these bugs?" Sun Yi smashed his fist into a pool of blood, "Our comrades-in-arms are dead, but we can only watch their corpses being humiliated like bugs like trophies......"
Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "You should have seen the horror of these bugs, if we dare to provoke them, I'm afraid we will have to die here, and it is very likely that there are enemies who control the bugs hiding in the dark." ”
"We should rush to the fortress arsenal immediately." Zhou Hao then said cautiously, "The situation there may be very bad, I suspect that the insects sleeping in the corridor are not more than one-third of the entire building that hit the entire building at that time, and most of them have already flown away from this building." ”
Gu Chaoge agreed with him, they urgently needed weapons, otherwise once they faced the attack of the swarm, it would be impossible for them to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the swarm.
There are also ice coffin debris in the research room building, and I just hope that the people left inside can escape.
Gu Chaoge rubbed the white silk between his fingers, which was spit on his leg by the insect just now, and was cut off by him with a blade.
It occurred to him that maybe these bugs were not without weaknesses!
"Let's go." Gu Chaoge got up and said, "Let's go downstairs and take a look at the situation downstairs again." ”
"Maybe we can deal with these bugs!"
Sun Yi didn't say much, he had long since lost his mind, and completely obeyed Gu Chaoge's command.
Zhou Hao was skeptical, not knowing if there was really a way to deal with this strange insect.
The two of them followed him downstairs, walking cautiously all the way, not at all as fearless as when they went upstairs, although they had ice coffin fragments in their mouths, they were still worried about alarming the swarm.
Downstairs, they finally saw the real situation on the second floor, except that there were fewer dead than on the third floor, the rest of the people had barely changed, and the walls and ceiling were crawling with insects.
"Go to the shower." Gu Chaoge said in a low voice.
When they came to the shower room, they found that Lao Tan's body had been wrapped in insect silk on the wall, and the insect silk was all over like spider webs.
On the wall of the shower room, there were also many insects, but in one place, the insect silk was wrapped in a pair of bloody broken legs, and the insect silk above was charred and blackened, and a large hole was burned.
Gu Chaoge's face was overjoyed, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, these insects are also afraid of fire, and they are extremely afraid!" ”
"Although these worm filaments are extremely tough, they are almost instantaneous when they are caught on fire!"
Sun Yi and the others also understood, what Lao Tan told them before he died was that insects were afraid of flames.
The ghost in Lao Tan's mouth may be a bug seen in a hallucination, after he was entangled in the worm silk, he desperately escaped, and even broke his legs, until he somehow lit the flame and burned through the worm silk, only to discover the weakness of the worm's fear of fire, and it also made the bug not get close to him for the time being, and it happened that Gu Chaoge and the three of them rushed to find him, Sun Yi was holding Lao Tan at the time, because of the ice coffin debris, Lao Tan was not attacked, and was dragged away by the bug when he died.
Gu Chaoge's eyes swept away, and sure enough, they found an empty oil bottle and a lighter in the place where they saw Lao Tan before, they didn't see it when they first went to the shower room, I am afraid that these things were blocked by illusions.
Sun Yi became excited, and finally found a way to deal with the bugs.
"In order to prevent these bugs from flying out again, let's burn the whole building with a fire!"
