Chapter 67: Night Falls
No one knew how the three-headed sand devil who was about to approach the safe house died, and the others were surprised by the fact that there were more than a hundred sand devils outside, and they did not dare to venture out to find out.
Immediately everyone began to clean up the corpses of the yellow lice, because the situation was critical, and it was very chaotic just now, and no one noticed that the corpses of eight yellow lice were missing.
When collecting the corpses of the yellow lice, the creature side occupied the lion's share, and the people of the research side also loaded a few, but because there were too many yellow lice, the remaining corpses were piled up in the corner of the safe house, ready to wait for the sand devils outside to leave, and then bury them on the spot.
Things seemed to be starting to improve, and the number of sand devils outside had begun to decrease, but the sky was starting to darken.
At Ronda's signal, the team members took out their dry food and found a place to sit down, chewing and swallowing silently.
In fact, counting the Sand Demon Brain Core that has not yet had time to be collected in the trap outside, the results of this day's battle should be extremely impressive for the entire team.
It's just that the combat consumption is extremely high, and the combat side detachment began to check the kinetic energy stored in each automatic energy suit after eating the dry food, and the situation is a little unoptimistic. It was originally planned for three days of hunting and a two-day trip. The amount of kinetic energy consumed has been accurately estimated, and the amount of replenishment brought from the academy has only been brought once, but it has already begun to be replenished.
If this is not possible, the hunting team will consider shortening the hunting time as much as possible and returning early. However, the prerequisite for Guboda Light is that the Green Shadow Beast must be killed.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the terrifying number of sand devils to leave, and then the next day, they would go to the area in front of the rock formation to check if there were any traces of the green shadow beasts.
At this time, Guboda Guang had learned a lesson, and he didn't dare to stay in one place for too long, so he simply lay down and spread the pressure on his body, or walked back and forth in the house from time to time.
Under his influence, several students who secretly thought that they were not light did not dare to stand in a certain place all the time, and they also kept walking around the room.
Fanny came to Luo Ren's side at some point, her face was cold, and after sitting down, she lowered her voice and said, "I have prepared a sand devil brain core for you, and I will give it to you when I go out." ”
Luo Lun nodded and asked, "As a student on the biological side, do you know anything about the abnormal situation of the sudden increase in the number of sand devils today?" ”
Fanny had obviously been thinking about the reason for this, and frowned and replied, "This is a bit like the beast tide mentioned in the book, but the mentor once said that the beast tide is characterized by sudden outbreaks, with obvious signs in the early stage, and it occurs regardless of the group of species. Now this is obviously different, they distinguish their own groups, otherwise the yellow lice would have broken through the soil and merged with the sand devils to form a larger herd. ”
"Is there any other plausible explanation for that?" Loren asked again.
Fanny shook her head: "I'm not sure if the situation we're experiencing is phenomenal or has already happened, so I can't come up with a reasonable explanation." ”
"It should have happened in full swing." Ronda suddenly walked over and said with a gloomy face, "Just now there was a large swarm of black beetles flying from the dim sky. This is the third time I've been to the danger zone. To be honest, I've never seen such a large number of black beetles, and it seems to include red beetles. ”
"Red beetles?" Another creature side student leaned over with a look of horror on his face, "That's an intermediate danger level alien creature!" But don't let us be! ”
Ronda said categorically: "No, we will return to the reserve at dawn tomorrow, and we can't stay here any longer!" ”
Compared to finding the green shadow beast to avenge Elisa, or being punished by the Academy, if the lives of the entire team were threatened, Ronda would certainly not be able to bear this responsibility. Let him choose, that is, to get out of the danger zone as soon as possible to minimize the damage.
At this time, Guboda Light poked his head back from the closed window and said in a rough voice, "The sand devils have all left. It's not completely dark yet, and if I leave early tomorrow morning, I think I'll take a few people to the rock layer to find out, and it would be best to catch or kill the green shadow beast! ”
"It's getting dark, and it's dangerous to go out now." Charles said.
"Besides, we don't know the strength of the Green Shadow Beast at all." Fanny also reminded.
Gu Boda grinned and said confidently, "There have been no alien creatures above the intermediate danger level found in the New Sand Demon Land, and this green shadow beast will run away when it sees me. If it had strength, it would have taken the initiative to attack a long time ago. ”
"It's still dangerous to move at night, so you can't go." Ronda's attitude is still very resolute.
"That's it......" Guboda Hikari seemed to compromise a little, "just me and Tarrey, and the others are all in the safe house, and don't come out if they hear any noise." With the strength of the two of us, even if we are not defeated by alien creatures in this new sand land, we can return safely. ”
Ronda didn't speak, and neither did anyone else. Tarrey turned his head to look at Loren to see what he had to say.
Gu Boda Guang said again: "If you hesitate any longer, your innocence will be completely dark, and then it will be more dangerous." Tarri and I acted quickly, and we promised to be back within fifteen minutes! ”
Ronda raised his head, exhaled, and said to Guboda Light and Tarri, "Stay safe, go and come back quickly!" ”
"Okay!" Guboda Light danced his thick arms excitedly, giving Tarri a look.
Seeing that Loren did not object, Tarri nodded immediately, and the two of them came to the door of the safe house, and were about to open the door when Ronda's voice came.
"Wait."
The two were stunned and turned their heads to look.
Ronda said, "If you really find out, slaughter that green-skinned guy for me!" ”
Guboda Light and Tarri nodded heavily, then opened the door and flashed out.
Ronda's expression flickered again, and he wasn't sure if his decision was haphazard. Strictly speaking, if you can't suppress this sentiment in the future, you are not at all in line with being a good commander.
Soon after the two of them went out, someone began to sneak a peek at the time. No one spoke in the safe house, and Ronda leaned over to the closed window, taking a closer look at the direction of the rock formation.
But now the sky is a little darker, and I can't see it so clearly.
Although Fanny was still sitting next to Loren, she also remained silent, and there was no change in her mood under that cold face. But Loren noticed that she was always holding the electric crossbow in her hand.
As the minutes ticked by, there was a rustling sound that suddenly approached the safe house, as if it were dragging its feet in the sand. At the same time, there was a strange hoarse sound, like a very wounded man trying to scream as hard as he could, but in vain.
And the next moment, Ronda, who was in front of the closed window, suddenly turned around and stared at everyone.
His face was distorted, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying picture, his throat kept shaking, and he struggled for a long time before he could say three words: "Ai...... Beautiful...... Sha! ”
