Chapter 355: Quicksand, Vast (5)

The visitor is a monster called the alder worm.

This monster is the size of an ordinary pangolin at most, with an arched back and a very hard back armor, and its living habits are like sandworms, and it lives in a desert with underground water flow. A herbivorous monster among the monsters.,Live in the cold underground all year round.。

Human beings have recorded every kind of monster that has appeared, and human scientists have naturally studied these alder insects.

In human research, humans have found that these alder insects are low-level monsters.

It may be guessed that the alder insect was a very fragile monster before the earth bordered the demon star.

They are bullied by other monsters all year round, and they are the monsters at the bottom of the food chain.

They eat stones rich in various minerals, and other monsters eat them.

And at the beginning of this troubled era, they also came out of the underground and participated in the war between humans and monsters.

The first humans also followed their path, and they killed many people.

Not after that......

The leader of the alder insects tragically discovered that humans are also very fond of their taste......

They look like hard back armor, if they are really under the fire of individual armor, it is also a cannon fodder level existence, ordinary bullets may not be able to hurt them, but the bullets of other individual armor weapons are devastating attacks for them alder insects.

There are even fragments of history that record an interesting piece of history.

When the war was in the heat of the war, there were many mercenary groups that were specially sent to hunt down this kind of monster with a very large base, and it was really not difficult to find them at that time, as long as they dug in the desert, they could be dug out, and as soon as the shovel of the excavator went down, they could dig out the countless alder insects that were entangled together, and then use a specially modified heavy transport vehicle, a car of 100 tons of sand and alder insects, and transport them towards the city.

That is, the main purpose of doing so is also very simple.

The war between humans and monsters is too logistically draining.

The phrase "war is fought by logistics" was taken as truth back then. Therefore, in the early days, there was no such intelligent hub, so that the mercenaries fighting on the front line would not be plagued by hunger, so when the supply was insufficient, their meat was used to make canned alders, which were used to comfort the mercenaries who fought bravely to kill the enemy.

The mercenaries especially loved the canned alders.

To get back to the point, this alder insect is a very vegetable monster in the record.

Don't talk about any other mess, just talk about the attack power of this alder worm, and if you don't pay 10,000 alder worms to attack the current convoy, the convoy won't have any panic at all. Or directly use buffer and special fuel to make an incendiary bomb, two burning ones are thrown out, and the alder insects within this kilometer range will be killed in seconds, and there is no need to panic at all.

So why did Da Biao panic?

The reason is very, very simple, the appearance of this alder insect is not only as single as the alder itself.

Alder insects are now a very sad kind of monsters, cowardly under the desert, naturally afraid of heat, and generally do not appear.

It's a cold night, so it's not surprising, but looking at the large-scale migration of alder insects now, it's very unscientific. It is impossible for alder insects to expose themselves to this kind of night on their own, otherwise the predators in the night sky want to eat them, it is simply a piece of meat sent to other people's mouths, whether it is a monster or a human to see them, it is like seeing food!

And when it comes to good food, no one will resist at all.

The reason why this situation is now is because of the white eyeball-like objects on the back of the alder worm.

These objects are about the size of an adult's fist, and in the telescopes in Da Biao's hand, this thing looks like an enlarged dead man's eyeball, the surface is crawling with yellow-brown roots, and the nerves at the back of the round eyeball are entangled, embedded in the back of the alder insect, and as the alder insect crawls in the yellow sand of the Gobi, it sways back and forth, and there is a disgusting feeling inside.

"Da Biao, what did you see, why don't you speak now!" Yan Zhenhai took his eyes off the night vision device of the sniper rifle, and turned to ask Da Biao, who had left a drop of sweat on his cheek in a low voice, very calmly.

In the cab, Tie Lin and Zhi Qinyun, plus the three people from the nameless mercenary group, were also waiting for Da Biao's answer. And the Adam's apple of the tower moved up and down, and I didn't know how to say it for a while, until it slowed down for two or three seconds, and then I said a word.

"Alder worms!"

"Alders?"

"I know that it is the only woody fern discovered by human beings back then, also known as tree fern, which is extremely precious and is called a national treasure by many countries and a plant with the title of living fossil." Zhi Qinyun thought for a while and said, "But this is the first time I've heard of this alder worm. And I haven't heard of it, whether this alder insect is a monster that doesn't have much danger, otherwise I should know it too, right? ”

"Sister Yun, you guessed right!"

"Alder is a very precious word representative, and the naming of alder insects is also the same reason, this is just like the frost wind claw wolf demon we encountered before, a demon race that is almost wiped out. But unlike the aggressiveness of the Frostwind Claw Wolf Demon, this alder insect is a very weak monster that will be destroyed at will! Guan Ji thought about the records she had seen in books: "And humans seemed to like to eat them very much, and in the end they couldn't find this kind of alder worm, so they changed their title from cow chicken deflated to alder worm, which is considered to commemorate this taste......

"That's right, Guan Ji, you're right, I saw the record like this at the time!"

"They taste really good, it's a really delicious thing!"

"Yes, there is no such thing sold in the city now, I ate canned alder worms from that era a few years ago, and the taste is simply not mentioned, it is delicious. Just take a bite and it will leave a fragrant mouth, the meat is fragrant and tender, like tender chicken and chewy beef, smooth and soft with a mineral fragrance and heaviness, I couldn't help but eat the amount of two people at that time! Shaoyan sat there, after she heard that the person who came was the alder insect, she suddenly didn't feel any panic in it, and the two dark eyes looked straight at the alder insect in front of her who was slowly occupying a quarter of the hillside, and her tone was full of longing for the alder insect.

"Then it's not hard to understand why the captain and the head of the tower got down from the car!"

"Well, the two of them shouldn't have any worries about this kind of monster."

"After all, both of them are able to rush out of the desert storm, and Captain Hao is even more powerful, so he is naturally not afraid!"

A few people on the radio were chatting, both in tone and in action.

While Zhi Qinyun was chatting, she had been paying attention to Da Biao, who was still observing in the carriage.

Da Biao didn't say anything after he said that word.

Then in Zhi Qinyun's sight, the clothes on Da Biao's body felt a little soaked with sweat!

"Da Biao, are you okay now?" Zhi Qinyun asked in a low voice.

"Okay......"

"Calm down, talk carefully, what you see."

"Okay." Da Biao responded, sweat on his forehead, and quickly reached out to wipe it.

Then he put down his glasses, and on the radio, Shaoyan Du Feng was chatting casually with Yan Zhenhai about the delicacy of alder insects.

"There's nothing wrong with alder worms, I know this kind of monster, but this alder worm doesn't seem to be so simple, there is a kind of monster rooted there on their backs, this kind of monster I have never seen before, but my intuition tells me that this monster should belong to that parasitic type. It is precisely because of this parasitic monster that the alder insects in the ground crawled out one after another, and then migrated to the north! Every time Da Biao said it from his mouth, there were more and more alder insects in the distance, and no one could count how many thousands of alder insects there were at this time!

And seeing the increasing number of alder insects, even if the strength of the alder insects is extremely fragile, everyone has some heart palpitations when they talk and laugh!

Coupled with the speech between Da Biao and Zhi Qinyun, several people were talking and laughing, and suddenly they stopped talking!

It's all getting serious!

"Parasitic monsters?"

"Alder worms are parasitized?"

"Da Biao looks at the glasses, come and I'll take a look!"

"Okay, here you are Zhenhai!"

"Hmm!" Yan Zhenhai took the glasses handed over by Da Biao and looked over there carefully.

On the radio, in another heavy truck, Guan Ji and Shaoyan were also looking at the distant hillside through the radio.

Tens of thousands of alder insects have appeared densely on the hillside, and the pale points of light that appear under the moonlight emitting are pale and pale points of light, and these points of light are connected one after another, under the background night sky of half a hook moon, it is more conspicuous than the distant Milky Way, it seems to be so mysterious science fiction, and it is even more abrupt that this kind of death gaze should not appear at all!

Now no one in the convoy can understand.

"It's really a parasite!"

"They're parasitic on the backs of alder worms!"

"They took control of the alder worms and made them do what they are doing!"

"But here's the problem!"

"What are these bugs?!"

"How can they parasitize on the body of the alder insect below the Gobi, and at the same time, as a parasitic monster, what is the use of parasitic on the body of the alder insect? The combat strength of the alder insect is so weak, whether it is on the side of humans or monsters, it is an existence that has been reduced to food, and when it encounters danger, it will definitely die along with the host and parasites! As Guan Ji spoke, he took his attention away from the somewhat frozen car window, looking at Hao Sanshui and Da Ta standing outside the car, and now the two of them didn't have much joy on their expressions, their expressions were grim, and the two of them whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, discussing the next arrangement.

Guan Ji didn't know what they were talking about now.

She won't go to see Hao Sanshui and the big tower for the time being.

She clenched the weapon in her hand, Guan Ji herself was very clear now!

"It can't be that simple!"

"Alder worms are not here to die! The danger that the captain and the head of the tower said should not be limited to these alder insects! All this is still a mystery, and the situation may not be optimistic, and in the end, instead of eating the alder worm, it was eaten by the alder worm. Now you have to be careful! ”
