0066. Face
"Hey, the senses of the insects are really sharp. ”
Hodge didn't hesitate to do so, and ran out of the street, seeing the way the mutant grey fireflies were killing people at a terrifying rate, he didn't want to touch these damn bugs.
Thankfully, the speed of the gray fireflies in the insects is not very fast, not even medium, and the group of gray fireflies behind it is no different from ordinary species in terms of speed, and it seems that there is no corresponding change in the speed part.
"It's just an enhancement of the reproduction process. ”
He thought of the giant earthworm he had encountered before, and judging from the information he got later, perhaps the earthworm was not an independent species, but was mutated on the basis of ordinary earthworms, but its mutation was more comprehensive than that of the gray fireflies, not only strengthening the physical strength, but also speed, toxicity and further strengthening the immortality on the basis of the earthworm itself.
But in essence, it still retains some of its pre-mutation habits.
Since this is the case, then these gray fireflies should be no exception, and the methods that can kill ordinary gray fireflies can naturally also kill these mutants.
It's just that it can't be used now, it's too close to the barracks, and it's easy to attract the attention of the barracks if you use the ability, if the army is dispatched, it will not only affect him, but more importantly, the soldiers will become the best nourishment for these mutant gray fireflies in front of you, and the corpses of three people can nourish tens of thousands of insects, if hundreds of soldiers are also added, then the entire stone fort will fall in an instant.
"Who are you? Stop!"
As he galloped, he unexpectedly encountered two soldiers who were on patrol.
This was unexpected, he thought that he had avoided the barracks as much as possible and wanted to take these bugs to a remote place to deal with them, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by the soldiers.
"Get out of the way!"
He flew and kicked the soldier who was about to draw his sword to the side of the road, and before he could say the phrase "If you want to live, play dead" and hurried back to run.
Before the two soldiers could react, they were frightened by the ensuing insect tide.
Two swarms of insects diverged from the tide, covering the soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, an even larger swarm appeared, and instead of returning to the insect tide chasing Hodge, they merged into a second wave and pounced on the other side of the street.
There, there is a lot of nutrient taste.
"Yikes!"
Hodge only heard a shrill scream from behind him, and then there was no sound, and his heart suddenly became heavy, it seems that the senses of these gray fireflies are not as dull as the blind bear, and it is obvious that the two soldiers have also become a nest of nutrients for breeding.
Walking through the dilapidated ruined buildings, walking around the ruined city with a wave of insects, now he can determine that his location has been quite far away from the barracks, and it doesn't look like there are people living nearby, and when he turned around and ran into a closed alleyway, he stopped his feet suddenly, and waved his hand behind him, and the invisible wall of energy sealed the entrance to the alleyway.
This is the turning point of the bend, and the gray fireflies have no corresponding vision, they follow sound and smell to locate themselves, and Hodge has repeatedly determined that the bug does not slow down when turning when he circles with them.
Then when the insect tide enters the roadway, it passes through the barrier formed by the microwave, which is their death period.
Soon, he could already hear the buzzing of his wings.
The light at the entrance of the alleyway suddenly disappeared, and an overwhelming wave of insects appeared at the entrance of the alleyway, about to pass through the death trap he had set.
But the scene he expected of the gray fireflies being burned to a scorched pulp did not appear.
Looking at the sight of the entrance to the laneway, he couldn't believe it.
The insect tide actually came to rest on the outside of the barrier, hovering silently in the air, not even a single one rushed in.
It was only then that he felt as if his blood was clotting.
Mutated monsters, although terrifying, but not impossible to deal with, since they inherited the characteristics of the original creature, naturally inherited the flaws of the original creature, just find a way to deal with it, for example, for the gray fireflies, the flame can easily incinerate these ugly little bugs, of course, the heat source can also destroy their bodies.
But this is based on the fact that they are still bugs and only move on reflex instinct.
If the mutant population has wisdom no less than that of humans, then the countdown to the extinction of humanity may not be far away.
The insect tide waiting in front of the barrier suddenly changed its posture, condensed into the shape of an arm, stretched out its index finger, and gently moved towards the position of the barrier in front of him.
Zi –
The body of the swarm of insects that make up the epidermis between the fingers immediately curled up, and the body turned into a black-brown charred state, and fell straight to the ground.
"Huh. ”
Hodge felt delusional at this moment, why did he hear a chuckle when there was no one else around?
The condensed arms of the insect tide changed again, gradually combining into another shape.
The surprise on Hodge's face widened as he watched the insect tide move, it was made up of tens of thousands of gray fireflies, and it seemed to be a human face?
After the completion of the reorganization, the insect tide does constitute a human face, a woman's face, and in terms of facial features, it is almost impossible to find any defects, whether it is a part or a whole, it is as perfect as jade.
It's like Hodge's face...... Impeccable sophistication.
It is hard to imagine that a perfect appearance is almost impossible to exist in human beings, and under the influence of various factors, the beauty that human beings think is always contemporary, and the conclusions drawn from subjective feelings, sometimes appropriate defects will add beauty, and sometimes too delicate parts will make the overall appearance appear too distorted.
It is unimaginable to achieve that every inch of skin is perfect, and the overall appearance is impeccable, and even to be able to escape the aesthetic point of view with the nature of the times to get the word "undoubtedly perfect".
Hodge himself may be counted as one, but he has the bonus of the full value of charm on the character card attributes, and he has always thought that his appearance belongs to the cheating type and cannot be counted, and beauties like Devany and Hera also have their own characteristics, and they cannot be called perfect.
But now, the second "cheating" face is presented to him in an unimaginable way.
The woman opened her mouth slightly, as if she was saying something.
But he didn't hear a word.
The woman seemed to understand his feelings, and after a moment of silence, she opened and closed her mouth again.
This time, he finally heard the woman's voice clearly.
Hoarse, low, and magnetic, what surprised him the most was that just hearing a sentence made his body's blood flow speed increase, and ...... Somewhere seems to react.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that the human auditory system can't recognize high-frequency speech. ”
He didn't know, but there was one interesting thing about the woman's words, which was that she had eliminated herself from the category of "human."
So, what exactly are you?
