Chapter 40: Mission Failure
Hearing the loud noise, Wu Ming immediately realized that this was the 'Yuan Qi Bomb' developed by the Research Institute, a 'spell card' made by combining Yuan Qi and ordinary explosives, which only needed to be activated by Yuan Qi and then thrown out, which could cause great killing effects.
It's just that this thing is extremely troublesome to make, and this time the awakened people of the second and third teams only get one each, and they all treat this thing as a treasure, and no one is willing to use it on the way here, and now someone is using it, obviously something is wrong.
At that moment, Wu Ming didn't steal the grain to make cards, ran out and rushed out of the granary with Li Xia, and when he looked outside, he found that the outside of the wall of this storage warehouse was already surrounded by dense insects, and the vitality bomb just now was thrown by an awakened person of the second team, in addition, the machine gun also began to roar, preventing the crazy insects from rushing over.
"Tell the soldiers to immediately stop carrying food and prepare to break through!" The battalion commander of the major in charge of this operation had a miserable white face, and he could see that the insects outside were gathering more and more, and they were coming together from all four directions, and the number might have exceeded a thousand, or even more. If they continue to stay, they will not be able to escape from any of the more than 600 people.
Besides, they have already loaded a lot of food just now, and pulling these back can be regarded as completing the task.
No one needed to remind them that everyone, whether soldiers or the Awakened, began to shoot with the automatic weapons in their hands, and the Awakened had a greater responsibility at this time.
"Shi Lei, Zhou Zhenhai and Lu Xiang, you block the insects in the west, Zhao Ning, Wu Ming and I are in charge of the north, Li Xia, you are in charge of long-range strikes, if there is a heavy ground-drilling beetle like the one you encountered before, you will have to rely on your bow and arrow!" Sun Qiang was commanding methodically at the moment.
On the other side, Shao Mingjun, the leader of the Second Awakening Squad, was also directing her team members to attack the insects in the east and south. At this time, Wu Ming saw that Shao Mingjun's Tianci card turned out to be a creature 'Murderous Swordsman', and after activating the card, a swordsman who was shirtless, revealing a muscular arm, and holding a curved katana appeared.
The murderous swordsman is definitely a rare creature card in the new shijie, although it is a first-level creature card, but the quality definitely belongs to the blue sophisticated, powerful liliang, purely sophisticated and murderous swordsmanship, all of which make the 'murderous swordsman' a high-end item in the first-level creature card.
Unexpectedly, this Shao Mingjun's luck was so good, Wu Ming felt that people were more popular than people at the moment, and his Tianci Card 'Wandering Merchant' was really a few grades worse than this blue-quality 'Murderous Swordsman'.
I saw that the murderous swordsman was holding a sharp katana, slashing left and right, but the insect man who rushed over couldn't even get close to him, let alone Shao Mingjun behind him.
The latter is protected by a murderous swordsman and can easily shoot with a submachine gun in his hand.
In addition to her, the awakened people of the second team also have their own characteristics, but even so, after a few minutes, they are a little unable to resist.
Not to mention them, as long as they see a large number of insects pouring out of the ruined buildings outside, everyone will be pale with a pale face, even if it is Wu Ming, it is not good in secret.
The number of wormmen has increased tenfold in just a few minutes.
As far as the eye can see, they are all dense wormmen, and the attacks of the awakened and the soldiers are simply a drop in the bucket. Seeing this, Wu Ming's head buzzed, and the secret path was still miscalculated.
In his previous life, he had never heard of any news of the success of seizing food, according to his thoughts, this time he came out to take the opportunity to make some food cards, even if they were in danger, they didn't want food, they should be able to break through.
And the current situation is to pour a basin of cold water on Wu Ming's head.
In a minute at most, more than 600 of them will be swallowed by more than 10,000 insects, and I am afraid that there will not be even bones left.
"It's over!" The battalion commander of the major in charge of this operation was like ashes at the moment, looking at the crowded sea of insects on all sides, he swallowed and foamed, but he did something that no one expected.
With the gun in his hand, he shot himself in the temple and committed suicide!
"Stupid, isn't that messy?" Sun Qiang, a crepe person, also burst into foul language at this time, there is no doubt that if the commander is still there, the soldiers will at least fight hard, and now the commander has collapsed and committed suicide, and the soldier's psychological defense line will collapse in an instant.
In fact, it was the same way, the soldiers who saw this scene were all like ashes, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while, and even shot blindly and frantically.
However, there were too many worms, and many soldiers were knocked down by the wormmen and died tragically.
"Return to the granary!" Wu Ming did not hesitate, immediately went over to greet Li Xia, and rushed to the nearest granary.
The granary is made of reinforced concrete, and the entrance is an iron door, which is closed from the inside, and even a large number of insects cannot break through in a short time. This is the only way Wu Ming can think of, although it can only solve the problem for a while, but at least it can delay a little time.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Wu Ming, many soldiers, including the Awakened, who saw such a number of insect people, all ran to the nearest granary, and as for the car that had been loaded with grain, it was obvious that no one cared about it.
The scene was chaotic to the extreme, everyone was busy running for their lives, and the unstopped insect people were like a sudden rise in the sea level, instantly submerging the grain station like a small island.
The bullets in Wu Ming's gun had been exhausted, and the next moment, he threw away the gun, pulled out the bone bayonet he was carrying, and stabbed a backhand to pierce a wormman who rushed into the granary.
At this moment, only a few people fled into this granary, including Li Xia.
Wu Ming immediately asked Li Xia and the others to close the door, while he himself brandished the bone bayonet in his hand and killed the insects who rushed in one after another.
It's just that even so, there are more than a dozen insect people who rushed in, but fortunately, Li Xia is clever enough, and she and a few other people close the iron door and lock it up.
Seeing that the iron door was locked, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment he didn't hesitate, he flicked his fingers and took out the card book, and took out the 'Graveyard Troll Coolie' card to activate it.
A Diyuan card and four flesh cards disappeared in an instant, and the next moment, the graveyard troll coolie with a huge body and infinite strength appeared in the granary.
At this moment, there are more than a dozen insect people in the granary, and they must be eliminated first, and after summoning the graveyard troll coolie, Wu Ming got the special effect of this creature, that is, he got 1 liliang blessing.
Don't underestimate the blessing of this 1 point of liliang on the card, if it is converted, Wu Ming's one-handed liliang will increase seventy-five kilograms out of thin air, which is equivalent to adding an adult's liliang on his body.
At that moment, Wu Ming grabbed the bone bayonet and cut down the insects in the granary one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.
Over there, Li Xia also took out the elven bow, pulled the bow and shot, nailing an insect man to the wall.
As for the graveyard troll coolies being more ferocious, it can be said that if it weren't for it, at least half of the people who escaped into this warehouse would have died.
After a scuffle, more than a dozen insects were finally slaughtered.
Zuihou: A bug-man is trampled under the feet of a graveyard troll coolie and turned into a disgusting mess of minced meat. Wu Ming wiped the blood splashed on his face at this time, and looked up and looked around.
There were only seven or eight people who fled into this granary, and two more had just died, except for himself and Li Xia, the rest were relatively unfamiliar faces, and none of the third awakening team escaped in.
Thinking of Zhao Ning and thinking of Sun Qiang, Wu Ming sighed, the situation was too critical just now, and he didn't have time to take care of others, it can be said that if it wasn't for the close distance between Li Xia and himself, Li Xia might not be able to escape with him this time.
There were three other people, two soldiers, and one was supposed to be an awakened person of the second awakening team, a middle-aged man with glasses, who was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was constantly trembling.
The Awakened are also human, and in addition to having a powerful liliang and the ability to use cards, they are even inferior to some ordinary soldiers in some aspects, such as courage and resistance to pressure.
However, the two soldiers were quite calm, and at this time they came over to salute Wu Ming and Li Xia, asking for instructions on what to do next.
