Chapter 26: The Golden Cockroach (Part I)
Although they were skeptical, they did what they said.
Just as they were about to stop, thousands of mosquitoes came out from all corners of the staircase, ceiling, window, door crack, aisle, and debris pile, sweeping all over the world.
Everyone's scalps were numb, but they didn't panic, after all, the two sides had already fought a battle just now, and it was very easy to win.
Four fire extinguishers aimed at the mosquitoes in the air, and He vigorously grabbed the corner of the alcohol-soaked cotton quilt, dancing vigorously, and the mosquitoes within a radius of one zhang were burned and crackled.
Others used local materials, wielding various combustibles to resist mosquito swarms. The hall was suddenly filled with smoke, choking people's lungs. Mosquitoes are more afraid of smoke than humans, and they leave their charred corpses on the ground and disappear.
Before setting off, the commando team was worried about encountering the remaining evolutionary zombies, so in order to prevent accidents, each of them brought some alcohol with them. Who knew that I didn't encounter zombies, but I encountered a mutated spotted mosquito community, which came in handy.
In order to prevent the spotted mosquito from continuing to harass, Jiang Mantian ordered Tao Xingxing to wet the quilt that He was dragging vigorously, and slowly spontaneously combusted, emitting thick black smoke.
Long Yuandong looked at the mosquito corpses on the ground, and then at the staircase, and said: "Although this spotted mosquito is powerful, there are many of them, if you are not prepared, it is indeed difficult to deal with." However, the hundred-man team sent by the Third Regiment of the National Army did not even fail to send a signal, and all of them died. There's got to be something more powerful, so we've got to be careful!"
Jiang Mantian was choked with tears from the smoke, and coughed: "Don't underestimate this spotted mosquito, first take a closer look at our two leading stormtroopers, and you will know that it is powerful!"
Everyone got this prompt, took a closer look, and then recalled the scene just now, and then suddenly realized.
It turned out that in the process of killing mosquitoes, the two stormtroopers always stood in place and circled and did not participate in the action. Until this time, they were still black on their foreheads, their eyes were rolling, but they looked very comfortable, constantly smirking, and their expressions were extremely weird.
"This spotted mosquito has evolved to release a substance with strong anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects when it bites, which not only makes people unconscious and does not feel pain, but also makes people hallucinate, mentally disturbed, and finally completely uncontrollable body. Maybe it's not obvious to be bitten twice by a spotted mosquito, but if you bite a few more times, a person will basically be wasted. ”
Jiang Mantian said with palpitations: "It is precisely because they are inconspicuous, their attacks are hidden, and their effects are strange, that the hundred-man team of the Third Regiment of the National Three Nations has set their sights. ”
He Dali heard clearly, and cold sweat broke out on the vest. If it weren't for Jiang Mantian's early opportunity, I'm afraid that their commando team, which has a strong lineup, will inevitably have the fate of annihilation.
"All hallucinogens are basically time-sensitive. If you are stimulated by the outside world, you can wake up quickly. Jiang Mantian took a long breath, secretly glad that the spotted mosquito was only hallucinating, not fatal: "Tao Xingxing, you can get some ice and see if you can wake them up." ”
Wei Chuanfeng smiled: "If the ice cubes can't wake up, I'll give them some electricity and have an electrotherapy!"
With the joint efforts of everyone, the two stormtroopers woke up leisurely, and when they heard everyone's introduction, they were afraid.
Long Yuandong reorganized the team and said, "Keep the formation and move on." ”
The commando team was on 360-degree alert and slowly entered the main arena.
The main arena is very well lit, and the early morning sunlight is refracted through the glass dome, and as far as the eye can see, you can even see fine dust flying in the air.
It turned out that it was already bright outside.
The team was able to enter the main arena, and Long Yuandong raised his hand to stop the formation. But seeing blood all over the field, more than a dozen corpses were lying down horizontally.
The arena was previously used to house the seriously wounded, but the seriously injured who died have been incinerated, and the conscious have been moved to the playground. The corpses in front of him were undoubtedly members of the hundred-man team sent by the Third National Regiment.
In addition to the arena, the dead bodies were also faintly visible in the stands, so it is inferred that the members of the 100-man team were attacked one after another, and finally all the troops were wiped out.
On a corpse in the arena, several cockroaches the size of fists crawled in and out. Compared to the shriveled corpse, the clothes on the outside appeared wide and empty.
Things finally came to light.
The mutated spotted mosquito bites and sucks human blood, and the large cockroaches take advantage of the gap to sneak attack and eat human flesh.
The more the stormtrooper in front of him thought about it, the angrier he became, it was simply unreasonable for two inconspicuous creatures to almost kill themselves with a single palm!
The bullet shattered a cockroach crawling on its clothes to pieces, and more cockroaches crawled out of the corpse and scattered in panic. The cockroaches in the other corpses heard the movement and also fled in a hurry, disappearing in an instant.
Anger turned into anger, and everyone was relieved to see the cockroach fleeing without a trace.
He vigorously scolded: "Damn, I thought there were some giant beasts here, but it turned out to be just two groups of small insects!"
Jiang Mantian warned: "Don't let your guard down, the danger has not been completely lifted!"
Long Yuandong made a scattered gesture: "Disperse the reconnaissance, don't leave each other's line of sight!" Pay attention to stay vigilant against the spotted mosquito!"
The crowd dispersed in a radial pattern, and after a few minutes, the entire center arena was surveyed, and nothing was found except for dozens of corpses.
Long Yuandong ordered everyone to gather the bodies together and cremate them together. Seeing the burning of the corpses and turn into ashes, everyone looked at each other and wanted to exit the gymnasium.
He Tingting suddenly exclaimed, "Be careful on your head!"
Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see a white thing lying on the steel beam of the dome, motionless. If you don't look closely, it's not easy to spot.
The stormtrooper fired a round of strafing at the white object, and immediately startled the thousands of spotted mosquitoes attached to the white object and scattered in all directions. The white thing also fell suddenly, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be a white-haired giant rat.
Everyone looked at each other.
Long Yuandong was surprised: "Could it be that this is the white-haired rat king in the morning? I didn't expect to die here! Sure enough, it is a cycle of shengke, one thing descends one thing!"
Jiang Mantian looked at it carefully, and suddenly said: "No, this white rat is still bleeding now, maybe it wasn't dead originally, but it was just stunned by a mosquito and was shot to death!"
Tao Xingxing rejoiced: "Living is also a scourge, it's better to die now, we have one less trouble." We didn't think these mosquitoes would help us so much!"
He Tingting said: "Listen, everyone, is there something leaning towards us? Could it be a group of mutant rats? Well, it's not quite like it!" She shook her head, and after carefully perceiving it for a few seconds, her expression suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly: "There is a situation!
Everyone was already very vigilant, and immediately gathered, put out a formation back to back, and protected Jiang Mantian and He Tingting in the middle, concentrating!
But after waiting for more than half a minute, the expected frenzied attack still did not appear, and the field was so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats.
He Dali looked around with bated breath, found nothing abnormal, and wondered: "Teacher He, are we too nervous?"
Everyone at the scene felt the same way.
Since they came in, their spirits have been highly tense and vigilant at all times, and the spotted mosquitoes have retreated and not dispersed, coming and going, buzzing and flying, interfering with the mind.
He Tingting sighed lightly: "Don't speak, listen to the voice!"
Everyone had to continue to be on guard, and after about ten seconds, someone faintly heard a faint hissing friction sound, as if a breeze was blowing through the field, and patches of weeds swayed on the ground, and like trillions of ants crawling on the ground, the sound first came from the south, and then the east, west, and north gradually joined together, and soon surrounded them in the middle.
He vigorously shouted: "What the hell is it?"
"It's a swarm of cockroaches!"
He Tingting said categorically: "Organized mutant cockroach swarm! We are already surrounded!"
Hearing that it was a swarm of cockroaches, everyone was less nervous.
Although two fists are hard to defeat four hands, and heroes are afraid of many people, but the single attack power of cockroaches is really not complimentary, even after mutation, it must not be high, no matter how many there are, everyone can completely retreat.
As the sound kept approaching, a large number of cockroaches gradually appeared in everyone's sight, front and back, left and right, layer upon layer, occupying all the stands in the center arena!
The speed of the cockroaches was originally very fast, and after the mutation, it could only be even worse, but the strange thing is that the speed at which the cockroaches surrounded them was very slow, and when they were five or six meters away from the person, they stopped, just crawling in place anxiously, trampling on each other, as if there was an invisible aura that blocked them from the outside.
With the increase of cockroaches, the air is filled with the sour and rotten smell, which makes people feel irritated and depressed.
The common cockroach has a flat body, well-developed compound eyes, six legs and two wings, and two long antennae, like two antennas. Usually nocturnal, timid by nature, hiding when they see people, it is a creature between pests and beneficial insects, and it is not a threat to people at all.
However, at this moment, Long Yuandong's heart suddenly swelled with an inexplicable sense of crisis: "Storm troopers prepare! We will fight and retreat, ready to break through!"
With Long Yuandong's loud shout, the cockroach swarm in the south suddenly split a gap, and hundreds of black cockroaches the size of a basin crawled out of the gap in order, with sharp mouthparts and bright carapaces, like the elite of the soldiers, exuding a dangerous atmosphere.
For hundreds of millions of years, cockroaches have occupied a place in the biological chain with their amazing fecundity, bizarre body structure and super anti-virus and radiation resistance, and the direction of their evolution focuses on bearing rather than attacking.
Now cockroaches have evolved such a giant xenomorph, which is really unexpected.
