【004】Giant insects
At night, the living room was pitch black, but he could barely see, because there was light coming from the balcony, in addition to the moonlight, there was also the light of the building diagonally opposite, and the light in the darkness made Chu Lei feel more secure.
In addition, it also shows that human civilization has not been destroyed by meteorite rain, and the electricity has not completely disappeared, but it is the same as during the day, and there is no sound in the community at night.
"I'll go to the balcony tomorrow, even if I'm smaller, I should be able to see something......" Chu Lei glanced at the light and shadow of the balcony, thinking in his heart, and then, no longer paying attention to the light and shadow that had not changed all night, he glanced at the environment around the paper bag.
Although there are lights on the balcony, the real effective sight distance is actually about 100 meters, and even farther away can only see the dark outline, in the dark, the outline of those objects is like a dead monster, no matter how you look at it, it can give people a strange feeling.
The most important thing is that the 100 meters in Chu Lei's eyes is actually the length of two floor tiles, so before confirming the real safety, he did not slack off and always be vigilant!
……
Late at night, it was already early in the morning, but Chu Lei still stared and scanned the surroundings, as if he was looking for something, with a hint of fear in his eyes!
From just now, there was a slight rustling sound in the living room, intermittently, as if something was moving in the empty living room, and after hearing this sound, Chu Lei had a familiar feeling, like an insect crawling on an A4 piece of paper, dense and urgent!
The sudden sound in the darkness made Chu Lei's whole heart lift, and for the first time, he thought of the second possibility that he had guessed during the day!
Maybe it's true that only humans have changed in size, while the other creatures still remain in their original size!
This is definitely not good news for Chu Lei!
If that's the case, pet cats and pet dogs are now giant monsters belonging to Godzilla level in front of him, even insects that can be crushed to death with one kick before the end of the world will now become hunters who hunt humans, and even, these natural predators are more threatening than creatures like cats and dogs!
And now the thing that makes the sound is most likely an insect, an insect that has not changed in size!
"Click, click............"
Just when Chu Lei was thinking, suddenly, the rustling sound disappeared, but every few moments, there was a sudden crisp clicking sound, at this moment Chu Lei was in a state of mental tension, and he was naturally startled by this sudden sound, and at the same time, he turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from!
That was the location of the potato chip box, Chu Lei could see the huge outline of the potato chip box, and at the same time, he could also see a dark shadow!
Huge, flat black shadows!
Seeing this black shadow, a familiar name instantly appeared in Chu Lei's mind, cockroach, under careful observation, Chu Lei became more and more sure of the conjecture in his heart, this is very likely to be a cockroach that has not been affected at all and still maintains its pre-apocalyptic body shape!
But after discovering that this insect might be a cockroach, Chu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, at least, he knew that cockroaches are creatures, this kind of insect is not aggressive, and it is timid by nature, the most important thing is that cockroaches will never be able to break the paper bag!
That's all that matters!
Compared to these common creatures, what worries him most now is encountering things that can't be explained by common sense!
The clicking sound was endless, there was no doubt that this creature suspected of being a cockroach was spoiling his food, but he didn't move, he didn't know if this creature was a real cockroach or not, although food was important, it was far less than his own life, he didn't dare to bet, it was not strange that anything appeared now!
Who can guarantee that this isn't an otherworldly creature that looks like a cockroach?!
With this concern, Chu Lei was even more unlikely to go out, he maintained a crouching posture motionlessly, quietly watching this suspected cockroach creature feasting there!
After more than half an hour, the incessant clicking sound finally stopped, but the creature probably didn't feel the danger, so it began to wander around, stopping, and gradually approaching him!
Seeing such a scene, Chu Lei's heart lifted, and even his breathing slowed down a little, and his body was even stiffer, and he didn't dare to move at all, for fear of being discovered by this creature!
However, the more you are afraid, the more you come!
When this huge creature wandered dozens of meters away from the paper bag where Chu Lei was hiding, it suddenly stopped, and in an instant, the entire living room fell into an eerie silence!
At this time, Chu Lei also vaguely saw the appearance of this monster with the faint light!
The whole body is dark red, the body is flat, the length of the body has reached at least three meters, the triangular head is topped with two huge black compound eyes, three pairs of thin feet support its body, and the thin feet are covered with hideous spikes, looking at this appearance is indeed no different from a cockroach!
But...... Chu Lei didn't remember that cockroaches still had a pair of sickle-shaped forelimbs that only praying mantis had!
With just a glance, Chu Lei could be sure that this was not a cockroach, and it was definitely not any insect he knew, it was just very similar in appearance, obviously, this insect was very likely to be predatory!
There are thousands of insects in the world, and Chu Lei can't know all of them, but this is his home, and he takes care of his home very well, and he has never found a creature like a cockroach, let alone an unknown insect like this one!
However, Chu Lei didn't have time to think about it at all, because this insect had already rushed over with six slender feet!
He didn't even have time to react, the speed of the insect was so fast that he could only stand in place and watch it rush over!
"Smack!"
A loud noise exploded in Chu Lei's ears, startling him, but this sound also woke him up from his horror!
He looked ahead and instinctively took a step back, because the worm's whole body was lying on the paper bag at the moment, and through the paper bag, you could see the hideous mouthparts under the triangular head, which were full of sharp teeth, as if something was wriggling inside, hideous and disgusting!
However, the bug's ram didn't break the paper bag, or even shake the paper bag!
Seeing this, the big stone in Chu Lei's heart was put down, he didn't know what this weird-looking insect was, but obviously, it should be similar to a cockroach, but the appearance was more hideous, but it was not enough to destroy the plastic paper bag made by humans before the end of the world!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Lei carefully observed this strange insect, and soon he found that this insect except for the pair of slightly deformed forelimbs, other physical characteristics of this insect have not changed much from ordinary cockroaches, and the patience of this insect is far beyond his imagination, after three minutes, this insect still has not given up, as if it is dead heart to kill him, it is very ferocious!
Perhaps it was a long time to break through the defense of this paper bag, this strange insect seemed to be enraged, and after a collision, it actually lay directly on the paper bag, and the pair of forelimbs full of sharp barbs opened and stabbed the paper bag fiercely!
Crash!!!
Chu Lei was shocked in his heart, instinctively took two steps back, and when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but gasp, and a strong sense of crisis hit!
Although the pair of weird forelimbs were not enough to directly cut through the paper bag, the sharp barbs on it had successfully pierced the paper bag!
As if motivated, the insect began to frantically stab the plastic bag that blocked it with its forelimbs, and in less than a minute, the plastic bag had been pierced by it with more than ten holes, although it was not much, but if it continued like this, sooner or later it would break through a gap large enough for it to crawl in!
And looking at its perseverance, it is obvious that it will not give up easily!
Chu Lei took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he was at least safe now, but if it continued like this, this paper bag would be broken through by this insect sooner or later, and at that time, he would only be able to face this hideous insect head-on!
And with the ferocity shown by this bug, Chu Lei didn't think he could escape!
When the crisis really came, he was not so nervous!
Tightening his grip on the glass thorns, he cautiously leaned towards the insect that was destroying the paper bag, whether the glass thorns could kill it or hurt it, Chu Lei had to try it!
His movements had clearly irritated the insect, and the dark compound eyes stared at him, and as he approached, it suddenly stretched out its head and devoured him with its mouthparts full of sharp teeth!
Chu Lei subconsciously took a step back, but the insect obviously underestimated the hardness of the plastic bag, there were only a few small holes on it, and it was obviously impossible to be broken through by it like this!
Chu Lei was only a stone's throw away from it, only a thin layer of plastic bag in the middle, and he could clearly see that the insect's disgusting mouthparts were sliding on the plastic bag, and the dark flesh wall inside was wriggling, and he felt sick to his stomach when he saw it!
But the opportunity could not be missed, Chu Lei forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, took two steps forward, grabbed the glass thorn with both hands, and stabbed straight out, without leaving any strength at all!
The sharp glass thorns were not hindered in the slightest, easily penetrating the barrier of the plastic bag, and this insect didn't seem to know how to dodge, and it didn't dodge at all, just when Chu Lei was surprised, the glass thorns had successfully pierced into its hideous mouthparts!
Poof!
A stream of pale green liquid poured out instantly, and the insect that was suddenly hit by the heavy blow let out a sharp wail, its mouthparts closed, and it tightly bit the glass thorn that was more than half inserted into it, and the six thin feet kicked on the paper bag, and the body fell backwards!
Chu Lei didn't expect that he would successfully injure it at once, but before he could react, a huge force came from the glass thorn he was holding, and he instinctively loosened the glass thorn he was gripping......
Smack!
The insect fell heavily to the ground, and did not attempt to attack Chu Lei again, but got up, stumbling out of a distance of dozens of meters, and soon after, Chu Lei could only vaguely see a huge black shadow crawling slowly!
Under his nervous gaze, the worm didn't get far before it lay on the ground completely!
Critical Lift......
