Chapter 159: The Insect Tide is surging
Just when we were at a loss, suddenly there was a rustling sound from the depths of the cave, like the sound of some insect crawling. Listening to this sound, it is like the sound of the rising tide of a stream, judging by this movement, it is estimated that there are thousands of them!
When several of us heard this, we were all covered with goosebumps. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it's the reality that this is the case, but I actually felt a chill hit me. Involuntarily, he shivered, and his calves shook uncontrollably.
After getting used to the darkness for a while, our eyes are almost accustomed to the darkness, and we will be able to see the outline of something. At this time, I saw a silver tide coming towards us not far away. But strangely, the tide was not on the ground, but along the wall.
"Holy, what the hell is that?" The old ghost exclaimed, "Is there a flood going on?" ”
"It's not water, it's bugs!" The big man said.
When the old ghost and I heard this, we almost fainted, and exclaimed, "What? Bugger?! ”
"Yes!" The eldest brother seemed to be much calmer than us, only to hear him say in a calm tone: "Everyone prepare weapons, we are going to start a battle to the death!" ”
So, we heard a "crackling" sound, and we all loaded our guns.
It was at this time that I clearly saw that in front of my face, with my breathing, there would be a cloud of "white mist". It turns out that it has really cooled down! Moreover, it is the kind of cooling that falls sharply. Of course, this sharp drop in temperature has something to do with this large surging of bugs. The closer they get, the cooler it becomes.
As we got closer to that bunch of bugs. The temperature was getting colder and colder, and I couldn't help but shiver. The old ghost was also shivering from the cold, his teeth kept playing, and he made a "pop" sound.
I was a little irritated when I heard this voice, and I resisted a strong chill and scolded, "Why can't you breathe a little? Is there such a thing as no freezing? ”
The old ghost trembled his lips and said, "I...... I...... I'll fuck your uncle! You, you...... Do you dare to say you're not cold? ”
"I didn't say I wasn't cold. However, it's not as exaggerated as you! I said.
"...... I don't care about you! This...... What's ...... Chilling is not something I can control! The old ghost said intermittently.
"You don't have to say a word, let's concentrate on preparing for the war of resistance!" When the eldest man saw that we were about to start arguing again, he hurriedly prompted: "Everyone concentrate and wait for my orders." As soon as I give the order, you will also fire with full firepower and fight me to death! ”
Hearing the big man say this, I, Qian Cheng, and the old ghost are all gearing up and eager to try.
At this time, Lisa suddenly let out a low moan. All of a sudden, I fainted. Fortunately, Duoduo was beside her, and he caught her at once, so that he was spared the pain of the flesh and skin.
I hurriedly beckoned to Duoduo: "You take Lisa back to find a hidden place to hide, and then we will join you when we clean up this gang of chukes!" ”
Hearing me say this, Duoduo nodded his head again and again, and took Lisa to hide behind.
Time is urgent, and there is no time to estimate the two of them. I look back. The "sea tide" with a faint silver light is coming towards us! My scalp involuntarily tightened for a while. Almost every pore on the body is open. I didn't know where to aim because I didn't have a specific target.
So, I immediately asked the big one, "Big man, there are so many bugs, what should we do?" Which one should we aim for? And how to fight? ”
The big man said, "Wait for me to give the order, and you will shoot immediately." Say hello to death. It's not about hitting any one specifically, we're going to scare them off with fire and sound! Don't be afraid, this insect is the most afraid of fire. As long as you fire at full speed, you won't have any problems. ”
Hearing the big guy say this, we finally have a reassurance. But. The tide of insects is coming, and our hearts still can't be calm. With so few men, guns and ammunition, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg to wipe out tens of thousands of bugs.
Although the light is not very good, the movement is quite scary. At this scale, if we let them attack, we estimate that they will turn into a pile of bones in a few minutes!
As the sea-like beetles swarmed in, the temperature kept dropping. I could even hear the sound of ice all around me, and in a few moments, my gloves and the tips of my hair were covered with ice.
This change reminds me of the extreme cold in Europe: 2012 was the extreme cold in Europe, with heavy snowfall and extreme cold weather in the eastern, central and northern parts of Europe. Temperatures drop to around minus 10 to 20 degrees during the day and can drop to -20 to 30 degrees at night.
It's mid-February, but the cold continues. Even the love and sweetness of Valentine's Day failed to melt the cold weather.
Severe cold and heavy snow have hit Europe and East Asia since the beginning of February. Statistics show that the death toll from the cold weather at that time amounted to more than 600. Tens of thousands of people are also stuck at home due to heavy snow closures and face food shortages.
Twenty-two countries have been reported to have issued extreme cold alerts. Meteorological experts say that the new round of extremely cold weather will not end soon and will continue for some time.
Some say that this means that humanity will leave the warm winter and enter a short Xiaoice Age, and the global warming argument is therefore difficult to justify. But meteorologists soon refuted it, arguing that the irregular occurrence of extreme weather events is more powerful evidence of the fact that global warming is occurring.
But in any case, the real cold has been concretized into every detail of life: a buried car, a piece of burnt red charcoal, a cotton coat worn on the body, a song full of anticipation - "Why hasn't spring come yet"?
The amount of clothing is no longer just about whether it is cold or moving, but directly determines the level of credits - every day on the way to school, you can see students wearing thin school uniforms and shivering from the cold.
"The Venetian waterways are frozen! It's dropped by more than 10c, and this place is really full of strange things. "I only went out for half an hour in the afternoon, and when I came back, I had frostbite in my ears. ”…… The locals quipped.
When the cold of spring is related to these cruel numbers, people may be able to understand the meaning of "extreme cold" as never before. In fact, the changes in life are far more subtle, trivial and complex than a set of groups.
It was supposed to be the end of winter and the beginning of spring when the cold air retreated, but at the moment, the theme of the entire Northern Hemisphere is nothing but cold and heavy snow.
Every winter, the Siberian cold current is formed, which pushes southeastward under the influence of northwesterly winds, and the weather in the region through which this current passes is greatly affected.
And for this reason, any small changes that take place in the vast expanse of Siberia deserve attention.
Experts in the world meteorological and physical circles generally believe that the unusually cold weather at the beginning of 2012 originated in Siberia before it began to invade the wider Eurasian continent.
The temperature in the Russian Far East and Siberia, the source of this cold snap, has also been hovering at the lowest point recently, and the temperature has even dropped to minus 50 degrees Celsius in some areas.
"Siberia" is more of a meteorological term.
Whenever a cold snap hits, "Siberia" appears frequently in the weather forecast. Therefore, people always associate this northern region of the Asian continent east of the Ural Mountains with snowy, bitter cold, empty and barbaric. But the real Siberia is varied and beautiful because of its infinite vastness.
Of course, as the global climate changes, changes are taking place here. In Siberia, for example, there has been an anomaly of "warm winter". Although it is already November, the howls of bears can still be heard by people living near the forests of southwestern Siberia.
In fact, bears living in Siberia used to hibernate to survive the long and harsh winters, and they began to hibernate from October ~ November every year, and did not wake up until the following spring.
However, with global warming, the weather in the Kemerovo region of Russia has been abnormal, and there is even a situation where there is no snow in winter, and the bears living there have "no intention of sleeping". One of the obvious characteristics of global warming is that it is prone to extreme events: such as storms, blizzards, heavy rains, droughts, heat waves and other abnormal weather.
I don't know if the icy weather in this cave has anything to do with Siberia. In short, we are currently cold no, no, no!
Of the five of us, the old man was the only one who did not lie down and did not prepare a weapon. He was just a person, so stunned, as if he had been pointed, and he stood there. I just wanted to tell the old man to "pay attention to avoid", but the big man hurriedly stopped me and said, "Since the senior did this, there must be a reason for him!" ”
When the big man said this, I stopped paying attention to the old man. In front of me, I am a "mud bodhisattva crossing the river - I can't protect myself"!
At this time, the old man walked up to us and cut his palm with a dagger. Smeared his blood on our heads, we didn't realize for a moment what was going on.
That's when I realized that those bugs were like the legendary corpses.
The corpse is a scavenging social animal in films, television, novels and other works of art. The volume is very small, such as half the size of an adult's palm and a ten-year-old child's palm. It is often seen in burial chambers, and is usually fed on corpses.
During the "sleep period", when it is affected by the outside world, it will wake up quickly. If a living person intrudes on it, it will quickly burrow into the body of the living person and eat its flesh and blood. It is naturally afraid of fire and not afraid of light. Generally, it is a virtual creature that is artistically transformed into other arthropods such as "King Foot Worm". (To be continued......)
