Chapter 90: Flame Beetle
Those relatively large mutant beetles were completely different from the mutant beetles that Xu Shenzhou had encountered when he came out of Ningcheng and passed near the village before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the half-cut cliff, the beetle's nest at the bottom was like burnt charcoal, black and not slippery, and at the same time, there was a phenomenon of sand in the vicinity, which had been evaporated with all water.
The head of this mutant armor is relatively round and large, and their limbs are many, sharp as the edge of a knife, the palate is as narrow as steel, and several compound eyes are curved.
Its back, in particular, resembles the carapace of a seven-star ladybug, hard as iron, with a strange electromagnetic phenomenon, with many red spots on it, like a flame burning.
Xu Shenzhou felt a very hot and ferocious aura from the group of beetles, it seems that these beetles are not easy to mess with, they should be very aggressive, and they are called flame beetles.
Seeing dozens of flame beetles slowly crawling towards here, Xu Shenzhou's face looked a little solemn.
The others were also a little nervous, picking up the weapons in their hands, and a little scared in their hearts.
After all, this is not like killing zombies, they have never fought with beetles, let alone have experience in dealing with these mutant beetles, and they are naturally nervous about the unknown.
"Don't be afraid, watch me sweep them!"
In order to boost morale, Zheng Xinwei took out an AK rifle and aimed at the beetles crawling over, ready to shoot.
"Don't shoot!"
Xu Shenzhou's face changed, stopped Zheng Xinwei's actions, and then looked at those beetles, and quickly made a decision: "Everyone bring the necessary supplies, the focus is on food and water, and get out of the car, immediately!" ā
As he spoke, Xu Shenzhou extinguished the fire of the car, then picked up the largest backpack and carried it on his back, and quickly jumped out of the heavy truck with a gun.
He Mingyue was frightened, and said with some hesitation: "Isn't it more dangerous to get out of the car and deal with those beetles?" ā
"Less nonsense, get out of the car!" He Mingliang scolded his cousin sharply, and then picked up the backpack and quickly got out of the car.
The others didn't hesitate too much about Xu Shenzhou's order, and they all quickly took their supplies and backpacks, and jumped out of the car.
Ling Susu asked: "Do you still bring the radio station?" ā
Xu Shenzhou observed those beetles and said: "Don't take the radio, I said that you only bring food and water, as well as weapons and other useful survival materials, and discard all the rest, be fast, don't make too much noise, and listen to my command after they all come down!" ā
After everyone got out of the car, Xu Shenzhou asked them to stand in a row, he stood at the end, and said: "Slowly retreat along a straight line, don't run in a panic, don't make too much noise, Ah Wei, you come to lead the team to lead them, even if it is a critical moment, don't shoot easily, do you understand......
Zheng Xinwei actually didn't quite understand why he did this, but he felt that Xu Shenzhou should have his reason for saying this.
So he took it, in the direction Xu Shenzhou pointed, and slowly began to slowly retreat in a straight line, and the others followed his steps one after another.
Xu Shenzhou had been observing those beetles from the front.
The beetles on patrol were only alarmed by the tonnage of the heavy truck, as if their target was also a heavy truck, and when they retreated, the beetles were still crawling back and forth at their original speed.
This also showed that their actions did not alarm those flame beetles, nor did they arouse their vigilance, Xu Shenzhou couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The retreat was a little slower, but safe, and it didn't draw too much attention from those flame beetles.
Seeing that the beetles were crawling closer and closer, and they had only retreated about ten meters, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and their foreheads were sweating.
Zheng Xinwei wanted to speed up and run, but he saw Xu Shenzhou stop with his eyes, so he had to continue to retreat at the original speed.
When he stepped back about 20 meters away from the heavy truck, Xu Shenzhou saw that the beetles climbed in front of the heavy truck car, as if they had found food, and climbed into the car one after another.
Immediately, I heard a clattering sound like gnawing metal, and at the same time, the heavy truck also had a vague feeling of being softened and shrunk, and the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher, and it could be felt from a distance of more than 20 meters.
Because the fire beetles on the heavy truck gnawed on the car as food, and the noise it made alarmed the other flame beetles in the hive.
At this time, many beetles began to crawl out of the nest in groups, and quickly crawled towards the heavy truck.
As more and more flame beetles climbed onto the heavy truck, they gnawed faster and faster.
Everyone watched as the heavy truck was half eaten by the dense beetles in less than a short time, as if it had been melted into molten iron and swallowed by those flame beetles as food.
Most of the heavy trucks are metal, which will attract the interest of those beetles, Xu Shenzhou saw that he had retreated more than 20 meters, so he asked Zheng Xinwei to speed up some speed, at least to retreat to about 100 meters, which can be considered safe.
He always felt that the curved compound eyes of those flame beetles should also be distorted, and it would be easy to ignore the dynamics in a straight line.
After Zheng Xinwei got Xu Shenzhou's prompt to speed up, he finally accelerated the pace of retreat, and the range of his steps was larger, and at the same time reminded everyone to pay attention to their feet.
But when she retreated about forty meters, Tang Xiuqin, who walked to the middle of the team, made a slight mess of her steps, and Yang Qiuyan, who was retreating, suddenly stepped on her feet inattention.
"Ahh
When Tang Xiuqin fell down suddenly, she instinctively screamed.
And after she fell to the ground, the backpack behind her seemed to be wearing a metal lunch box, and there was a clink-dong sound.
When the others saw Tang Xiuqin fall and make a movement, they stopped one after another.
Xu Shenzhou couldn't help frowning deeply when he heard the sound of metal, and he quickly looked at the beetles that were densely surrounded by heavy trucks that melted and gnawed, and the beetles that were a little closer began to react with alarm, and turned their heads at the same time.
After seeing this subtle change, Xu Shenzhou's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't stop, keep retreating, no matter how fast the speed is, it's still a straight line, don't step on the people behind!" ā
Yang Qiuyan was a little anxious, and when she saw that Tang Xiuqin hadn't gotten up yet, she hurriedly helped her up and helped her up, but the lunch box in the backpack made a rattling sound again.
When Xu Shenzhou heard this sound again, he couldn't help but be a little angry, seeing those alert beetles turn their heads and be suspicious, but now, those beetles quickly crawled towards here.
Xu Shenzhou was furious and scolded: "Damn, who told you to bring a metal lunch box, quickly drop the backpack, everyone turns around and continues to run in a straight line, to a place where there is water, be fast!" ā
Zheng Xinwei listened to Xu Shenzhou's scolding, she was very dissatisfied with Tang Xiuqin in her heart, because of the stupid woman's actions, it has now caused the beetle to be shocked and chased over.
In desperation, Zheng Xinwei quickly turned around and began to run at full speed in the direction of a ditch about three or four hundred meters away.
The others didn't care about anything, so they turned around and ran.
At this time, some beetles in front of those heavy trucks also quickly chased after them along the movement there.
The speed at which those beetles crawled was very fast, much beyond Xu Shenzhou's expectations.
The situation is in jeopardy.
