Chapter 014: Race against the jumping insects
In the boundless darkness, a stone statue of a demon with a hideous face, a dozen stories high, fell down towards it with a bang. The fragments of stones that were swept up by the wind whistled across her face, and bursts of sharp pain like knife cuts penetrated into her heart, making Xia Li feel as if she was about to suffocate.
At the moment when Xia Li felt as if the entire shijie was about to collapse, a burly figure glowing with colorful streamers suddenly appeared in front of her. I couldn't see the man's face clearly, and I could only vaguely feel that the back was so familiar.
There was no earth-shattering thunder and shouting, no landslide and cracking, only a flash of yellow light as bright as lightning, and the demonic stone statue turned into countless rubbles and collapsed with a bang.
"Haoyi ......", a name that surprised Xia Li herself, involuntarily jumped into her heart. Vaguely, Xia Li vaguely saw the figure dressed in colorful streamers, and slowly turned her head.
"Sister Xia Li, Sister Xia Li, wake up, wake up!"
However, before Xia Li could see the man's face clearly, a rapid cry suddenly drilled into her ears, and an inexplicable fear, accompanied by a sharp pain on her back, suddenly hit Xia Li's heart. Everything in the moment has disappeared in an instant.
Struggling to open the heavy eyelids, what caught Xia Li's eyes was Yang Bo, an assistant with red blood dripping from the corners of his forehead and cheeks, and a panicked face.
"IβWhat's wrong with me?" Xia Li found herself half-lying in Yangbo's arms, and a kind of shyness and reserve made her want to stand up. However, the sharp pain in her back made Xia Li seem to be unable to lift up a trace of strength, and she fell into Yangbo's arms softly, and a sharp pain like tearing came from her temples.
"You fell down the steep slope and fainted! What, don't remember? Yang Bo hurriedly responded, glanced back, and asked Xia Li with a panicked expression, "My eldest sister, how do you feel?" Can you go? No, I'll carry you! Run! Those alien monsters are coming after you! β
"Ah, alien monsters!" Xia Li, who slowly recovered her strength, finally remembered that before she fell into a coma, she and her colleagues were trying their best to get rid of those sudden insects. Suddenly, Xia Li suddenly screamed in a trembling voice, and out of nowhere, a force actually jumped up from Yang Bo's arms, and Yang Bo stumbled and sat on the ground with a stumbling buttocks.
"Run, Yanbo!" Xia Li suddenly rushed out of the distance, only then did she remember something, turned back to Yang Bo, who was sitting on the ground with a depressed face, and shouted loudly.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Yang Bo shook his head helplessly, hurriedly got up, carried a pistol and followed Xia Li in two or three steps, and ran down the hillside together.
......At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound from the high hillside behind the two of them, and in a burst of billowing smoke and dust, a series of screams and roars of alien insects came out faintly, and the two of them shivered in unison, and involuntarily accelerated their pace. Not far in front of the two, several staff members covered in blood were going crazy, rolling and crawling down the mountain to escape for their lives. Between the two of them and the billowing smoke and dust at the top of the hillside, there were two or three human corpses with blurred flesh and blood, and the corpse of a jumping insect with a hole in its head.
Speaking of which, thanks to Xia Li's quick reaction, she let her staff flee to the hillside in the opposite direction, otherwise, God knows if the staff who were in a mess would be torn to pieces one by one by the sudden killing of the alien insects. However, Rao is like this, a jumping insect that probably came to reconnoiter the situation, still caught up with Xia Li, who was in charge of the broken post, and five male staff members, including Yang Bo.
Probably out of the instinct of survival, Xia Li, Yang Bo and others fought the most heroic fighting spirit in the history of their lives, and they actually held a laser pistol that could only penetrate the leather armor on the soft underbelly of the jumping insect, and fought the jumping insect desperately.
As a result of the fighting, the three male staff members were unfortunately torn open by jumping insects and turned into three bloody corpses. The jumping worm was extremely unfortunate enough to be stabbed into its bloody mouth with a pistol by Yang Bo, who was slightly injured. There is still a laser gun beam with a certain penetrating and lethal power, which blooms a strange flower on the head of the jumping insect from the inside out.
After all, the speed of human beings is still not comparable to that of the extremely fast Alien Pioneers. Although they lost a jumping worm that played the role of a scout, the subsequent insects also figured out the strength of this group of humans. Based on the judgment that these human beings were weak in combat power, the insects who rushed to the top of the mountain and then ran condescendingly quickly shortened the distance between the two sides in the blink of an eye.
"Ahh Hearing the loud rumbling movement behind her getting closer and closer, Xia Li, who was desperately running for her life, hurriedly glanced back, and saw three or five jumping insects waving their claws dripping with blood, roaring and rushing towards her. Probably frightened by the hideous face of the jumping insects, in a panic, Xia Li's feet were in a mess, and she tripped herself to the ground.
"My aunt, you want my own life!" Yang Bo, who heard the movement, hurriedly turned back while complaining, pulled up Xia Li, who had broken her foot, and continued to run for her life.
"Yangbo, leave me alone! Hurry up and run yourself! Although her heart was extremely panicked, and there were bursts of heart-rending pain from the wounds on her ankles and back, Xia Li still reminded Yang Bodao soberly. She knew that with her speed, she would definitely drag Yang Bo down. Rather than both of them being buried in the worm mouth, it is better to let Yangbo, who has a better chance of escaping, flee for his life alone.
"What nonsense! Come on! Nothing can leave you here! Yang Bo naturally realized that Xia Li, who was limping and running, would slow down his speed. After listening to Xia Li's words, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Xia Li, pouted his ass in front of Xia Li, and squatted half-squatting, and sharply motioned Xia Li to climb on his back.
Xia Li's heart warmed when she saw this, and she also knew that now was not the time to be verbose, so she quickly leaned on Yangbo's back, attached to Yangbo's ear and whispered: "Xiexie you, Yangbo!" β
"Sit tight, big sister!" The soft and delicate body like fragrant and warm jade on his back made Yang Bo, who had always secretly admired Xia Li, feel confused. However, the deadly boom behind him suddenly woke Yang Bo. With a hurried whisper, Yang Bo picked up Xia Li on his back and ran with all his might.
......At this moment, in the rumbling sound made by the insects behind the two of them, there was a huge roar of an aircraft engine. Immediately after, a fat figure like an iron bird roared over the hillside and flew straight towards the direction of the ladder in the distance.
"Look, it's a task force! Quick, send them a distress signal! As a seasoned war correspondent, Xia Li, who was lying on Yang Bo's back, naturally recognized at a glance that it was a military medical transport plane belonging to the task force.
"My aunt, what are you using to send a distress signal! Maybe they didn't see us at all! Believe it or not, they flew away! Naturally, Yang Bo also saw the medical transport plane, panting as he ran. He was obviously not as excited as Xia Li. Judging by Yangbo's experience and the speed of the medical transport plane, he knew that this must be a transport plane for an emergency mission, and it would not be a transport plane for patrolling or rescuing refugees who were being chased by the insects.
"Ahh So what to do? Seeing that the medical transport plane really flew away as Yang Bo said, Xia Li's eyes were red with anxiety, and she ran out of ideas.
"What to do? Sister, you can pray, right? Then hurry up and pray to God that he will send an invincible god of war to save us! Yang Bo smiled helplessly, jokingly comforted Xia Li, and did not dare to stop at the slightest step, and rushed down the mountain desperately.
Fortunately, it was downhill, and although he was carrying Xia Li, who was not lightweight, Yang Bo slowly shortened the distance between him and his colleagues who fled in front of him. However, it was obvious that his speed was not fast enough, and after a while, the three or five jumping insects that ran at the forefront still stuck to Yang Bo and the others with bursts of smoke and dust.
"Snort......" A foul-smelling fishy wind accompanied by a shocking roar suddenly struck from behind, and before Xia Li could feel frightened, she was violently overthrown to the ground by a beast's claw along with Yangbo.
"Woohoo!" Between the lightning and flint, Yang Bo, who was embarrassed to the ground, turned around with all his might, pushed away Xia Li who was pressing on his back, took out the laser pistol hidden in his arms, and pulled the trigger violently at the jumping insect with a bloody mouth that was gurgling with a fishy liquid.
Probably didn't expect that the Chinese food that was about to reach his mouth could actually fight back against himself, the jumping worm that pounced on Xia Li and the two of them was caught off guard, and was hit back again and again by a burst of indiscriminate shooting at its head by Yang Bo.
"Sister Xia Li, run! Leave me alone! Yang Bo, who was desperately shooting at the jumping insects, was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and without looking, he yelled loudly at Xia Li, who was lying on the side, a little dazed.
Although Xia Li, who has repeatedly broadcast the news on the battlefield full of artillery fire, is not small. But for the first time in her life, seeing these hideous, ugly, murderous and violent alien monsters so closely, Xia Li was still really shocked, and she was stunned to watch Yang Bo fight to the death with the jumping worm.
"Run, run!" In a hurry, Yang Bo yelled at Xia Li again and again, while holding the ground with one hand, and fell backwards again and again, trying to widen the distance between him and the jumping worm.
"Ahh It was his series of shouts that finally woke Xia Li up. I saw this beautiful reporter holding her head in her hands, letting out an unusually frightened scream, getting up from the ground and running away desperately.
In addition to the jumping insects that knocked down Xia Li and the others, the other jumping insects that caught up jumped into the male staff members who ran in the penultimate position with their teeth and claws. So, for a moment, there were bursts of screams and screams, accompanied by the roars of insects and the soft sound of laser pistols, and there was a chaotic sound on the hillside.
"Whew......" Xia Li, who hadn't run a few steps, suddenly heard the jumping insect behind her let out an earth-shattering roar. Startled, Xia Li looked back as she ran, and saw that Yang Bo was actually pierced through her chest by the sharp sickle of the jumping worm and lifted high into the air.
"Ahh This extremely bloody and cruel scene shocked Xia Li's soul when she landed, screamed, and fell to the ground again as soon as her feet were weak.
"Buzz ......" Just when Xia Li was about to despair in horror, the low roar of the engine of the military medical transport plane was heard from afar again......
