Chapter 178: Bone Eaters
Seven hours after the Virus Exploration Team entered the Valley of the Dead.
"Something is wrong! A large number of zombies have been spotted ahead! The scout reported in the communication system.
"Make it clear! How big are the zombies? Can it be cleared!? ”
"Can't be cleared! The number is estimated to be in the tens of thousands! And these zombies are weird, they gather together and don't move, like... Waiting for some kind of order! ”
"Wait for orders!? How so!? Since you can't break through, the front team will change to the back team immediately! Ye Chuan, you are responsible for finding a new way forward to avoid encounters with a large number of zombies, although we hope to get the virus sample immediately, but we can't rush into attack! It's better to choose a relatively small number of zombie groups and compare them slowly. Jian Xing commanded in the communication system.
"Understood!" Ye Chuan gave an affirmative answer.
The long snake array is very flexible, the head and tail ends can be interchanged, and now the end of Ye Chuan's team has become the front team, and Ye Chuan and Mu, who were originally in charge of the palace, have become scouts.
Finding the original virus is a very troublesome job, there must be the first infected person among so many zombies, Ye Chuan and they need to find the first infected batch from this large group of zombies and extract the virus samples in it.
As for the zombies that were infected later, every time the virus replicates, it will be a little different, and from a genetic point of view, it is almost impossible to infer the characteristics of the original virus from the late evolution virus.
If Ye Chuan and the others want to know how these viruses that infect humans evolved and what process they have evolved, they must find the original virus and compare it with the virus that is currently circulating. Observe the differences between the two viruses. The problem was solved. The rest of the work is to hand it over to the gene room and use the original virus to grow a vaccine.
In any case, finding the zombie carrying the original virus is Ye Chuan's task, and the way to complete the task is to keep capturing samples in the Valley of the Dead, analyzing and comparing them little by little, and it is not possible to be impatient.
After getting the order, Ye Chuan was about to go to the front to open the way, suddenly. Mu Yi reached out and grabbed him.
Ye Chuan observed Mu curiously, only to see that this genius young man's face changed greatly, his eyes became vigilant, and his two ears were all erected.
"What's going on?" Ye Chuan asked puzzled.
"We're probably already surrounded." Mu Shen said.
"No way, I didn't hear any zombies approaching." Hagawa Road.
"Our tribe judges the enemy not by sound, but by intuition." The pastor explained.
Slightly stunned, Ye Chuan looked at Mu carefully, this young man was not wearing genetic armor, and the pores of his whole body were completely open, feeling the surrounding environment. Feel all the breath of the valley.
"Wait for me here!"
Swish~
Ye Chuan rushed out with an arrow step! 110,000 per second!
Really!
About ten kilometers behind Ye Chuan, a huge zombie swarm was also found. These living dead walked slowly, trying not to make a sound, and the distance was relatively far away, so that Ye Chuan couldn't find these hateful guys.
"I'm sure, we're surrounded." Ye Chuan said in a deep voice in the communication system: "We are surrounded by zombies, no matter which direction we choose, we will encounter these guys." ”
Jian Xing said in disbelief: "There is no way to leave!?" ”
Ye Chuan said: "This is a trap, although I don't know how these zombies were found and gathered, but I am sure that the type of zombies here is not the same as what I saw on Earth, they are not individuals, more like a group of ants." ”
"Ants?"
"Yes, ants don't have individual thinking, only overall thinking, and now these zombies are like this, there are thousands of roads in the Valley of the Dead, like a maze, zombies put us in, and then cleverly surround them, the huge valley, countless roads, and all of them are blocked? Normal zombie hordes can't do it, which shows that these guys have a holistic mindset. ”
Jian Xing was silent in the communication system for a second, "All assemble, prepare to break through!" ”
Swish~
Ye Chuan immediately accelerated, grabbed him when he came to Mu's side, and caught up with the fighters in front of him, and in less than a second, the exploration team changed from a serpentine array several kilometers long to a back-to-back formation.
This is the power of the speed system, if there is a speed fighter in the squad operation, the offensive and defensive conversion speed of the entire squad will be greatly improved.
Jian Xing has an old soldier in the family named Jovi, he doesn't talk much, and he usually obeys Jian Xing's arrangement, so he stood up and took over the command of the team.
Pointing to the sky above his head, Jovi said in a deep voice: "Top breakthrough tactics!" Get out of the encirclement quickly! ”
"Understood!"
The warriors of the Jane family were all elites, and even if two scouts climbed up the slippery rock walls of the valley, the valley of the dead ranged from a few kilometers to dozens of kilometers deep, and as long as they reached the top of the deep valley, they could have an unobstructed view of the surroundings.
Of course, it's easy to expose your whereabouts, but now you can't manage too much.
"Don't... Don't come up! ”
The two scouts cried out in terror at the top of the valley, and saw them both hanging strangely in the sky, as if there was an invisible net that stuck them both like sticky flies.
In the next second, the two warriors let out a scream of pain, and someone in the team tried to go up to the rescue, but was stopped by the herd.
"Don't move! There are ants on it. Mu looked at the sky above his head, frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Ants!?"
"Well, the Bone Eater Ant, a transparent creature that turns red when it eats human flesh."
Soon, the two warriors who were hanging in the air stopped shouting, their bodies were rapidly festering, and at the same time, everyone saw some small red dots in the valley, which were bone-eater ants, which were turning red after eating human flesh.
In this way, everyone finally saw clearly, there was an invisible net at the top of the valley, and the bone-eating ants were lying on the net, and once someone rushed up, they would be stuck by the net, and there would be no bones left to be eaten by the ants!
This kind of ant has a huge number of ants, sharp teeth, and will gnaw through the armor of the warriors little by little by virtue of its numerical superiority!
As for the net above its head, it must be extremely tough, otherwise even these elite warriors of the Jian family would not be able to get rid of its entanglement.
Swish~
One by one, small red dots floated down from the air, Ye Chuan frowned slightly, stepped up along the mountain wall, grabbed a small red dot from the air in his hand, returned to the ground and opened it to take a look, everyone was shocked.
The size of the bone-eating ant is smaller than that of ordinary ants, and its mouth occupies half of its body, and after being caught by Ye Chuan, this hateful ant has no intention of being afraid at all, and uses its sharp teeth to drill Ye Chuan's palm!
Syllable~
Ye Chuan closed his hand, and the bone-eating ant was immediately pinched to death, and some red liquid came out, which was the blood of two companions!
"Strong burst! Get out of here now! Ye Chuan frowned and said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
