Chapter 50: Grasshoppers

Zhang Chao pulled the trigger of the recurve folding crossbow, "Duo! With a soft sound, a badger-like mutant beast in front of it was pierced through the head by a steel arrow, and fell to the ground without saying a word, and several people continued to move over the corpse, leaving it to lie on the side of the road.

"First-level mutant creatures are worthless, one pound of meat can only be sold for two pounds of food stamps, if you can't find a second-level mutant beast, sometimes a little more bullets are used for a trip back and forth, and it will not be worth the money." Qian Dakui knew that Luo Yuan was the first to come here, and in order to make up for the previous rift, he explained in a low voice.

"The second-level mutant beast is worth a lot, every catty of meat is as high as thirty catties of food stamps, this is still the recycling price, it is higher in the black market, and someone rushes to buy a hundred catties of food stamps, but these meatworths can be collected by the base except for three catties per person, the rest will be forcibly recycled by the base."

"Tier 1 mutant creatures?" Luo Yuan wondered.

"These are all statements from the base, like the mutant rats killed in East Lake in the past are first-level mutant creatures, and the rat king is second-level, and the base has a special detection method!" Qian Dakui explained.

Compared with the division on the system, it seems that white is the first level, and the second level should be light blue, Luo Yuan nodded.

Most of the light blue-level creatures are huge, even if a creature like this is small, it can have more than 100 catties of meat, and the big ones can have hundreds of catties, or even tons, as long as you are lucky enough to hunt a second-level mutant creature, the rental cost of weapons and the loss of ammunition are not worth mentioning, and you can also make a profit, sure enough, the risk and the benefit are contrasted, and the price of the blue-level creature is probably higher.

"Wait, don't move!" Zhang Chao, who was walking behind the most, shouted a little hurriedly.

Luo Yuan immediately stopped, glanced around vigilantly, and did not find any movement, he had some doubts in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Chao pulled out the military thorn, walked over quickly, and picked a green leaf in front of Luo Yuan, and as soon as the green leaf hit the ground, it suddenly moved as if it was alive, and it crawled along the ground towards the dark place.

Only then did Luo Yuan see clearly that this was a leaf, but a green soft worm, the color and shape of its skin were very similar to the surrounding leaves, and it was difficult to distinguish them if he didn't look closely.

"Grass, it's a mutant locust!" Yang Dawei took a closer look, exclaimed, rushed over with an arrow step, pulled out the dog's leg knife and cut the green soft worm in two, and a stream of dark red blood flowed out.

After Yang Dawei hacked the mutant locust to death, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but said to Qian Dakui with a nervous face: "Help me see if there is anything behind me?" ”

Qian Dakui's face was also solemn, and he lifted Zhang Dawei's clothes: "No, everyone checks it!" ”

As he spoke, he began to check his trouser legs.

Although Luo Yuan was a little puzzled, he also felt that something was wrong when he saw the performance of these people, and he hurriedly checked his body with his perception, but he didn't find such a thing.

Several people checked each other.

"Nope!" Zhang Chao tightened his trouser leg again and let out a loose breath.

"Neither do I!" Qian Dakui said, and then looked at Luo Yuan: "Boss Luo, do you want to check it too?" ”

Luo Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, I can sense that there is nothing on my body." ”

Qian Dakui thought that he could easily discover the existence of the invisible person before, so he didn't ask any more questions, but in his heart, he felt more and more that the other party was unfathomable.

"Good thing you found it early?" Yang Dawei looked happy: "I didn't expect this mutated locust to appear here, if it burrows into the body, it will be over." ”

Luo Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "You said it can drill into the body?" ”

Yang Dawei nodded, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "As long as it is pasted on it for less than a few minutes, it will burrow into your body along the wound, and the most terrifying thing is that this process is not painful or itchy, and it is impossible to detect it at all." After the mutant locust sucks enough blood, it ovulates profusely.

Within half a day, you will be as thin as a dried corpse and die of blood deprivation, at which point the mutant locusts will emerge in large numbers from all parts of the body...... The death was extremely tragic. After saying the most gloomy, his voice was a little low: "That's how one of our friends died...... That area was later abandoned by us, but we didn't expect it to appear here. ”

Luo Yuan's scalp was numb for a while, and goosebumps all over his body, the locusts that were just sucking some blood and making people feel disgusting before the incident had actually evolved to such a terrifying level.

"Shall we go over?" Zhang Chao asked.

Yang Dawei's face was a little nervous.

Qian Dakui glanced at Luo Yuan, saw that Luo Yuan did not object, thought for a while, and said heavily: "Since there is already one here, I'm afraid there are other places, be careful, there should be no trouble, let's go!" ”

Although it was Luo Yuan who killed the stealth, he knew that those few people from Hedong City would inevitably settle the account on their heads. Once they find out that the invisible person is dead, I am afraid that they will not die in the future. Today is undoubtedly the best opportunity to catch them all.

Zhang Chao nodded, silently picked up the sniper rifle and followed.

Yang Dawei hesitated, sighed, and followed.

Several people looked vigilant, carefully checking every branch that crossed over, and found several mutant locusts on the road of just a few hundred meters, among which a shriveled animal carcass was found not far from the roadside, which made everyone even more frightened.

"Shh Qian Dakui pushed aside the branches, put his index finger to his mouth and made a quiet gesture.

Several people sat in an open space with heavy faces, and one of them lay on the ground weakly, his face bloodless.

Luo Yuan looked through the gap in the branches, these four people were the remaining people from Hedong City, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that the person lying on the ground seemed to be much thinner, and his original round face was all cut down.

"That man was parasitized by mutant locusts, and he couldn't live, and now there are three left." Yang Dawei whispered with some pleasure as he took out a grenade from his backpack and loaded it into the launcher.

"Wait, there are too many branches in front, I'm afraid it will block the grenade, get closer!" Qian Dakui stopped.

Yang Dawei nodded, picked up his rifle, and slowly advanced towards the front.

Several people walked more than ten meters and stopped again.

At this time, one of the people on the opposite side seemed to notice something, and looked over to this side vigilantly, and the next moment his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Run!" It's the East Lake ......."

"Bang!"

Before he could say anything, Zhang Chao's sniper rifle went off, and his body was instantly broken in two.

Immediately, another grenade exploded violently not far ahead. "Grass, it's missed again." Yang Dawei exclaimed in frustration, without a lot of practice and professional training, it would be difficult for ordinary people to master this kind of heavy weapon carried by individuals.

Qian Dakui's old light machine gun also fired.

After a brief panic, there were only two people left on the opposite side, who quickly found a hidden position and began to fight back sporadically.

The bullets kept whizzing by, and for a while the hit was very hot.

Both parties are amateur players, and the bullets are not accurate at all, Luo Yuan feels that the marksmanship of these people is probably not much better than him, except for the one killed by Zhang Chao with a sniper rifle at the beginning, the two sides have been fighting back and forth for more than ten minutes, and there are no casualties.

"Grass mud horse, you dare to sneak attack, you people from Donghu City, Lao Tzu killed you today." Fighting and scolding on the other side.

"Fuck, dying and talking big things." Yang Dawei scolded back.

The next moment, a shell landed not far ahead, exploding a fireball several meters away.

"Those people from Hedong City rented mortars, Dawei, don't save the grenades, give me a return shot." Seeing that the other party was also heavy on firepower, Qian Dakui almost jumped up and shouted loudly.

Luo Yuan lay on the ground, his heart became more and more irritable, and his mind was buzzing.

The human eye has a buffer time for visual retention, mainly in order to protect itself and avoid overuse of the brain during biological evolution. Generally, the limit of the speed of image transmission is 24 frames per second, in other words, if you make an action in seconds, it will not be visible to the naked eye. The speed of the bullet is seven or eight hundred meters per second, and every 1/24 of a second, it can fly thirty or forty meters, which cannot be seen by the naked eye at all, and only a higher-speed camera with a frame rate can distinguish the trajectory of the bullet.

But this is not a problem at all for perception. Although it is similar to vision, it is not a physical organ, there is no delay of the neural reflex arc, it is itself an extension of consciousness, as long as it is perceived, it is already "seen" in consciousness, and everything runs in sync.

No matter how fast the bullet is, it will leave a high-speed blurred effect in consciousness, and worse, perception itself is extremely agile to things that are moving.

He found that whenever a bullet flew through the area he perceived, his consciousness was unconsciously pulled to the vague dot.

Once or twice, it's ok. But it has been almost ten minutes now, and there are not a hundred bullets flying through this area, but dozens of bullets, and his attention is constantly moved around by perception, and sometimes when there are too many of them, his attention will be forcibly divided into several parts, and he is about to be driven crazy.

At this time, his nostrils were a little itchy, and when he touched it, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but be startled, and his hands were full of blood.

Just thinking about whether to step back a little, suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart, and his scalp exploded violently, and then, his attention became more concentrated than ever, and a vague dot in his perception was shooting at his head at high speed.

In an instant, he didn't even have time to think about it, his head subconsciously turned to the side, and almost at the same time, a scorching air flow passed by his ears, exuding a faint smell of gunsmoke!

Luo Yuan's face was pale, he breathed heavily, and he only felt his heart beating violently.

But soon, he showed a look of disbelief, he just now, it seemed that he had dodged the bullet?
