There was nothing to do all night, and at noon the next day, Gao Meng and several people rushed to the assembly area.

It was once a small coal mining area, located in the middle of the mountains, and the terrain was relatively precarious.

The area covered by the mining area is about one or two kilometers in radius. However, it has long been abandoned, and the buildings in the mining area have been flooded with various mutated plants. Whether it is a zombie or an insect corpse, there is not a single one, if it is not wandering away, it must be dispersed by insects.

Gao Meng's five people arrived at the mining area, and Xu Hong had activated the olfactory gene.

She has a very strong sense of smell and can separate a variety of different scents in the air.

Soon, I saw Xu Hong frown lightly, raised his hand and pointed down to the depths of the mining area.

"Can you be sure what it is?" Gao Meng asked in a low voice.

Xu Hong shook his head: "The first time I smelled this smell, it wasn't a familiar bug, so I couldn't be sure." ”

"Nine times out of ten, that's the one we're looking for." Gao Meng said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go and have a look first." ”

"Big brother, don't you wait for Lao Xu to allow them?" Liu Jin felt that acting alone was a bit blind.

Gao Meng said: "Just go and investigate, in this way, you and Qin Yu are guarding here, and Xu Hong and I will go over." ”

As for that Zhang Yi, when he arrived at the mine, he had already confirmed that this was the place where the insects were encountered. Gao Meng didn't need to take him with him, so he simply taught Qin Yu and Liu Jin to star.

Xu Hong did not shirk and walked towards the depths of the mining area. She can rely on her sense of smell to track, so naturally she has to lead the way.

The two of them soon disappeared, while Liu Jin and Qin Yu were cautiously guarding their surroundings.

It's just that Zhang Yi looked at the two of them and wanted to find a chance to escape. He felt that he had lost his value to Gao Meng. Although it is very eye-catching to follow Xu Hong, he still feels that his life is more important.

Liu Jin saw that this kid was ghostly. Stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, don't move your useless eyes." When our people arrive, we'll let you go. ”

Why do you have to wait for your people to be ready? Zhang Yi secretly pursed his lips. But after listening to Liu Jin's words, I was a little more comfortable in my heart. He continued to pray, "The worm must not be around here."

About twenty minutes later, Gao Meng and Xu Hong returned.

Liu Jin and Qin Yu hurriedly caught up, and the former asked, "Big brother, what's the situation?" ”

Gao Meng had a calm face: "This should be the old nest, just in a mine inside." Xu Hong and I took a quick look, and there were traces of insect infestation near the mine. It's about the same size as the kid described. The smell in the cave is also very strong, and I have never smelled such a bad smell in TM. ”

In the end, Gao Meng couldn't help but scold, which shows how pungent the smell is.

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing and said: "Big brother, you are like this, then Sister Hong's nose has not to be beaten." ”

Gao Meng knew that Xu Hong would definitely not pay attention to this kid, so he raised his hand and pointed to the inside of the mining area, and said, "Do you see that observation tower, you kid will give me a guard on it now." ”

"Hmm." Speaking of business, Liu Jin hurriedly withdrew his smile. He quickly entered the mine.

The observation tower was about seven or eight meters high, made of iron shelves, and from above you could observe most of the mining area. Of course, the fundamental purpose. Or to keep an eye on the mines where the bugs are hiding.

After Liu Jin left, Gao Meng and Xu Hong and Qin Yu stayed at the entrance of the mining area. Waiting for the arrival of Xu Mingdong and the rest of the search team.

As time passed, search teams arrived one after another.

However, due to the expansion of Xu Mingdong's special combat team. A considerable number of the current members are for the second house. has become unfamiliar.

Therefore, after meeting each other, that is, simply saying hello, they each found a place to rest, and there was no communication at all.

Moreover, the members of these search teams, looking at Gao Meng's eyes and the three of them, still couldn't hide their rejection.

Gao Meng and the three of them all know this, in the gathering place, the various rations and benefits of the No. 2 Courtyard are the best, and it will inevitably attract red eyes. Even Lao Xu's people are no exception, that is, those old people when the gathering place was first built, and they can still maintain a relatively good relationship with the personnel of the No. 2 Hospital.

Of course, the reason for this result is not only a matter of redness, but also related to the style of behavior of the No. 2 Hospital.

Li Mo is often not in the gathering place, but the members of the No. 2 Courtyard led by Gao Meng and Zhen Ying, regardless of whether they are old or new, have always adhered to the rules set by Li Mo and the privileges that the No. 2 Courtyard must enjoy.

But in the eyes of others, it will inevitably appear that they are very domineering and superior. And more than once, some people have been severely punished and even killed for violating the No. 2 Hospital.

Therefore, it is inevitable to cause red eyes and dissatisfaction.

At about eleven o'clock, the team led by Xu Mingdong finally arrived.

Like the other squads, Lao Xu's team is the same as four people, except for him, the other three are old acquaintances with Gao Meng.

At present, there are five teams that have arrived, exactly twenty people. plus the four of Gao Meng, it is twenty-four capable people.

But these twenty-four people are all pituitary capable people who have at least one pituitary ability. In terms of genes, even if there are no rare genes, they all strengthen one or two attributes.

Xu Mingdong was discussing the countermeasure with Gao Meng at this time, and he first took three cronies and followed Lao Gao to the mine. asked Zhang Yi again and confirmed the situation of the insect again.

After letting Zhang Yi go, he said to Gao Meng: "With our manpower, it's still a bit difficult to deal with that bug." Moreover, the space in the mine is limited, and we don't know the situation inside, so it's not good to go deep rashly. ”

Gao Meng also considered this, and responded: "That's what I think, let's blast the mine." ”

Xu Mingdong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "I also have this idea, plant explosives at every entrance and exit of the mine, and seal the worm inside." ”

But Gao Meng was not optimistic about this, and said: "Listen to that kid, the defense and attack power of the insects are very strong, and it is estimated that even if they are blasted, they will not be able to deal much damage to them." Maybe it will irritate it. ”

Xu Mingdong said: "As long as we can force it out of the ground, it is beneficial for us to fight outside." ”

Gao Meng also thinks the same. Then he nodded and said, "That's it, then let's arrange the blasting." ”

His voice fell. A cronie who was following Xu Mingdong suddenly interjected: "Captain, I contacted Huzi just now, and in about an hour, his team will be able to arrive, do you want to wait for them?" ”

Xu Mingdong glanced at Gao Meng, Gao Meng nodded and said, "Of course, the more combatants, the better, but we still have to prepare for the blast first." ”

"That's right, there's something wrong with that bug outside. We're not going to be passive. Xu Mingdong accepted Gao Meng's proposal.

After the two men agreed, they immediately called the team members and began to plant explosives at the various entrances and exits of the mine.

……

While Xu Mingdong and others were busy in the mining area, the search team led by Huzi was also moving quickly in the jungle.

Huzi was an old special combat member who followed Xu Mingdong when the Xingcheng gathering place was established, and now he has become the leader of a special combat detachment.

When he went to the mountain village to rescue Xu Mingdong's friend, who is now the captain's wife, Huzi participated in that operation. Insect hunting operations like today's. Naturally, his share is indispensable.

He had just crossed the main road leading to the gathering place with three members of the search team.

Not long ago, the two caravans were attacked in this area, the search team of Huzi. They were sent to the vicinity to search.

It's just that because of the direction they searched before, it's a bit different from the mining area. So I got Xu Mingdong's order last night, and it took me a morning today. I rushed back to the road.

Huzi, who was walking in the front, glanced back at the three team members, and said with a smile: "The captain's side is already in place." Just wait for us, brothers, work hard. ”

But for this hunt of insects. Those three team members obviously didn't have much heart.

The first is that the bugs are too dangerous, and if they can't be saved, they will die.

Moreover, even if it is a high-level bug, what is valuable to humans is nothing more than worm crystals. It can definitely be said that the high risk and low reward are still the kind of ultra-low return.

Therefore, even if there will be a reward for this operation in the gathering place, it still makes the special operators resist.

However, since they have joined the special combat team affiliated with the gathering place, while enjoying high treatment, they must of course fulfill their due obligations.

Otherwise, you can completely break away from the special combat team and form a mercenary team by yourself. Anyway, there is also such a policy in the gathering place now, and as long as a certain contribution is achieved, it is allowed to "retire".

However, the reason why the members of these three special combat teams are resistant to the mission is that the low return is not the main factor.

It's more because when high-level insects are found around the gathering place, the established rule that they must be cleaned up was set by the big guy in the second courtyard, that is, Li Mo.

As a reborn person, Li Mo knew very well how terrifying high-level insects were.

In fact, what is really scary is not necessarily the bug itself, but the bug's ability to reproduce.

You must know that the reproduction of insects is not like other species, they are the same evolution, that is, the drastic variant that Hongyan said. The characteristic of homogeneous reproduction is that the larvae of the same order must be bred by higher-order insects.

Therefore, if there are high-order insects nesting and breeding near the gathering area, it will inevitably become a huge hidden danger that can destabilize the gathering place, even if it is a large gathering place.

And what about the Evolver? Even if two evolutionary couples had children, 99 percent of them would be ordinary babies.

As for the remaining one percent, it will not be an evolutionary baby, it can only be the kind of special human with recessive evolutionary genes that Hongyan said.

Therefore, there is a big gap between humans and insects in terms of breeding offspring.

As for this advantage of insects, Li Mo naturally warned several bigwigs in the gathering place more than once.

Fortunately, the bigwigs have always attached great importance to his words, so they have always insisted on this approach on the day Li Mo left.

But the problem is that the bigwigs, including Duan Xiao, can't take risks in person, and can only command remotely.

Therefore, it is no wonder that these executors who really take risks can be happy. In addition, the No. 2 courtyard tree has attracted a lot of people, and they have disgusted and rejected Li Mo, the big boss who is always running around.

This is not following Huzi now, a young man with a somewhat thin figure muttered with a sour mouth: "Brother Hu, you are too high to think of us." Aren't the No. 2 courtyards all here this time all masters, what are we? rushed to give someone a beating and be cannon fodder. ”

"The monkey is right, Brother Tiger, what do you say our special forces are trying to do? The rules were set by the one in his second courtyard, so this kind of thing should be handed over to the people of the second courtyard! Another big-eyed player immediately complained.

The last one looked a little obscene, and when I saw that the two brothers were talking, don't be dumb, but said with a smile: "Hehe, big eyes, aren't you just rejected by the female soldier in the second courtyard of the family, don't be so careful!" ”

The big eyes were red by the old face of what he said, and he opened his mouth to refute it.

It's just that before the words came out, I heard Huzi whisper: "All silence!" Stay in place! ”

All three of them were startled, and hurriedly stopped, each took out his weapon, and looked around.

Then I heard a burst of heavy footsteps with an extremely fast frequency, coming from far and near in the northeast woods. Several of them were veterans of hunting beasts and insects, and they immediately inferred when they heard the footsteps.

"It's a big guy!"

"It's not like bugs, it's supposed to be beasts."

"Damn, our brothers are lucky, this is an unexpected benefit."

The three team members all heard that it was either a mutant beast or an evolution beast, and they were suddenly a little more excited in their nervousness. looked at Huzi with a little expectation, the meaning is very simple: This should be regarded as "private work", let's not report it, right?

Huzi was amused by these three boys, but this kind of thing is normal, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he won't stand in everyone's "financial way".

Of course, whether you can earn benefits or not depends on your own ability, and don't lose your personal wealth when the time comes.

So Huzi didn't forget to remind his brother San: "Be smart, if it's hard stubble, it's important to save your life." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Tiger, we know it." The three team members answered in a low voice, staring in the direction of the footsteps again. At the same time, there was also a murderous aura on his face, and he no longer had the giggling that he had farted before.

However, when the owner of the footsteps appeared in their sight, the four people, including Huzi, were all dumbfounded, as if petrified.

I saw a monster shaped like an ostrich appear in the forest at the far end. But the body is much larger than the ostrich, and the appearance is extremely strange.

But compared to this monster, the human riding on it is really shocking.

Huzi stared at the one on the monster for a long time, and his teeth trembled: "Li Li...... Brother Li? ”

Brother Li? Who is Brother Li? The three team members looked at each other as they listened.

But the one called the monkey suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I grass! It can't be the second courtyard, the legendary boss, right? (To be continued......)
