Chapter 27: The Ring of Fire

The number of insect swarms is dense, neither large nor small, and once encircled, the space for people to move will be much smaller. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

No matter how powerful a warrior is, he can't stand the advantage in the number of swarms, let alone the mutated centipede with deadly poison.

Xu Shenzhou, who had encountered mutant beetles and ant colonies, knew that those mutated insects were led by the insect king, and they all acted in groups, and their attack power was very powerful.

Killing one of them will trigger a chain reaction of the swarm, and the swarm will go berserk and devour the enemy clean.

Therefore, to deal with these bugs, you can't solve them in the ordinary way of fighting, that is to die.

If you can't fight the enemy, you can only outwit and let the swarm take the initiative to retreat.

"Damn, if only there were guns!"

Zheng Xinwei was flustered and anxious, and he couldn't think of an effective way to deal with it, and when he saw that the insect swarm was about to climb the road, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Centipedes should be afraid of fire!"

Lu Yan groaned, but reminded Xu Shenzhou, which made Xu Shenzhou's eyes light up.

Thinking of the scene where Xu Shenzhou used a car explosion to cause a fire, causing the mutated birds to retreat and escape safely, and then connecting with the habits of centipedes, then using flames, the natural enemy of nature and biology, is an effective way for centipedes to retreat.

Thinking of this, Xu Shenzhou glanced at the index on the oil pan of the car, there was still half a tank of gasoline in the fuel tank, and immediately took out the hose and mineral water bottle from the backpack, and said to Zheng Xinwei: "Ah Wei, tear off the sponge in the cushion and light it, throw it out of the car window to cover me, be fast!" ā€

As he spoke, Xu Shenzhou quickly opened the car door and jumped out of the door and ran to the fuel tank of the car.

Zheng Xinwei was slightly stunned, and then began to look for a firestarter.

Lu Yan obviously took the lead in understanding Xu Shenzhou's intentions, only to see him erect his katana, decisively slash a few knives on the seat, then tear open his mouth and take out a large sponge, and said to Zheng Xinwei: "Ignite!" ā€

Zheng Xinwei only found the lighter at this time, and began to shake his hands, but he didn't catch fire.

Lu Yan blinked to see Xu Shenzhou outside the window opening the fuel tank cover and inserting the tube inside, but the insects were getting closer and closer, and the speed was also speeding up, so she couldn't help but say coldly: "Give me the lighter, you keep getting it!" ā€

After snatching the lighter, Lu Yan calmly lit the fire and lit the sponge, and without waiting for Zheng Xinwei to open the window, he used the katana as a torch, quickly opened the car door and got out of the car, and came behind Xu Shenzhou in one arrow step.

At this time, the insects have reached a range of three meters, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.

After Xu Shenzhou inserted the tube into the fuel tank, he took a hard sip, took a little bit with the bottle after sucking out the oil, and then poured it on Lu Yan's almost extinguished torch.

I saw a 'boom', and the moment the gasoline touched the flame, it quickly burned.

Lu Yan held the torch and kept waving it, and when those centipedes approached, she quickly circled the torch, causing those centipedes to avoid the flames one after another.

This bought Xu Shenzhou a little time.

After the bottle was filled with a lot of gasoline, Xu Shenzhou threw it a few meters, he didn't throw it into the centipede group, for fear that it would anger the centipedes and cause a rage, but just threw it in the open space in front of him, letting the gasoline in the bottle flow out.

At this time, Zheng Xinwei finally seemed to have a tacit understanding, he took the sponge torn off by Ling Susu, and quickly threw the lit sponge out of the car window.

When the flame touched the poured gasoline, it burst into flames with a bang, and when the centipede encountered the fire, it quickly retreated, making the area into a vacuum.

That's not enough, Xu Shenzhou continued to pick up gasoline, took a bottle and handed it to Lu Yan, and after she threw it to the designated position, Zheng Xinwei threw out the sponge and ignited it.

In this way, with the cooperation of the four people with different division of labor, half a tank of gasoline was consumed, and Xu Shenzhou made a fire ring near the car.

When the ring of fire burns, it encloses the whole car in the middle, which creates a vacuum belt, and the group of centipedes is blocked from the ring of fire.

Occasionally, a few rushed in, Xu Shenzhou specially explained to Lu Yan, they did not kill it, but picked it with the tip of the knife, and the centipede flew out.

In order to keep the fire intact, almost all the things in the car that could ignite the fire were thrown out, burning the road surface of the nearby highway very hot.

At this moment, the centipedes outside the fire ring finally retreated in fear of the fire, and they climbed down the road under the leadership of the insect king, and went down the ditch to the battlefield of the insects.

Call!

Seeing that the centipede swarm finally retreated, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Xinwei wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, still palpitating, and said: "Fortunately, even if those insects have mutated, they still have natural weaknesses, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable!" ā€

Ling Susu was frightened and hesitated, "Shall we take this opportunity to leave here?" ā€

Lu Yan glanced at Xu Shenzhou and scolded: "Shut up, stop talking about this useless nonsense!" ā€

Ling Susu immediately didn't dare to speak again.

Zheng Xinwei wanted to say something, but the atmosphere changed, and he simply stopped talking, facing this situation, in his heart, even if there were many dangers ahead, as long as there was a chance, Xu Shenzhou would definitely wait until he found out the clues and whereabouts of his parents.

Otherwise, no one can stop him from moving forward.

As a small man who grew up together, Zheng Xinwei knows his brother's character very well, due to the family environment, he was stronger than Xu Shenzhou when he was a child, and after gradually growing up and maturing, his ability in all aspects is far beyond Xu Shenzhou.

When he started his business and improved, Xu Shenzhou was still playing games in his hometown, and he didn't make much progress.

And this time, he was more sensitive than anyone else to detect some changes in this friend at the first time.

And it is these changes that make Xu Shenzhou completely different from before, and make Zheng Xinwei feel a gap between them, which is a kind of psychological and spiritual strength, even if they are familiar with each other, sometimes they can't help but have a sense of oppression, making Zheng Xinwei feel his humility and weakness.

Zheng Xinwei was thinking in his heart that these changes that happened to Xu Shenzhou should not have happened after the disaster and after his parents disappeared.

He felt that it should be some other unknown potential factors that affected Xu Shenzhou, and he said that he couldn't tell what the unknown factors were.

Xu Shenzhou never relaxed his vigilance against the insect swarm, he did not open his mouth to propose to retreat, and several people did not dare to speak again, and the car immediately fell silent.

After the insect king appeared, he saw that the battle between the two groups of insects had already been divided.

Although the mutant mantis blade is fierce, the mutant centipede is poisonous and ferocious, and the two sides are evenly matched, and they unexpectedly ended in a draw, and each began to retreat under the leadership of the insect king.

The praying mantis bounced incredibly, and the centipedes crawled so fast that they could become superkillers, far beyond their normal state.

At this time, Xu Shenzhou held his breath, and the people in the car did not dare to come out, staring closely at the direction of the retreat of the insect swarm.

No matter what kind of bugs, once they retreated, they were still coming this way, and Xu Shenzhou would quickly flee as soon as there was a movement, and he would not put himself in danger for the second time.

It's noon, it's hot, and it's hot on the road.

Coupled with the sporadic flames that were still burning, it was very hot, and the temperature in the car was also extremely high, and everyone was sweating profusely and didn't dare to wipe it, staring straight at the movement of the insect swarm.

The two insects were cold-blooded, and they did not climb onto the road when they retreated, nor did they go in this direction, and soon disappeared into the green field.

Seeing that the swarm was gone, the people in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

The car was like a stove, very stuffy, Ling Susu took out a few bottles of water to everyone, and after opening the car window, he felt a little refreshed.

Xu Shenzhou drank the water, took out the map he had marked all the way, and marked the creatures and danger levels in this place, and then started the car and continued to move forward.
