Chapter 11 Hornet
As Lu Xing kept running, his breathing became heavy and rapid, which was a reaction from the body's beginning to appear deprived of oxygen.
"Whew...... Call......! ”
But he didn't stop, but sprinted forward harder, the anger in his heart made him want to squeeze all the strength in his body, running was no longer just running, it seemed that he was breaking through the shackles of darkness and running towards the world of light.
Because of strenuous exercise, normal breathing can no longer meet the oxygen metabolism, at this time, the whole body muscle tissue is involved in anaerobic exercise, the body begins to accumulate a large amount of lactic acid, the limbs begin to involuntarily appear sluggish and stiff, and the brain also begins to appear in a short trance state due to lack of oxygen.
Lu Xing still stubbornly did not stop, the feeling that he was about to break through the shackles of darkness made him fall into a feeling of madness, at this time, a large amount of adrenaline was secreted, the breathing rate increased again, the heartbeat also accelerated, and the blood flow reached an unprecedented high-speed state.
"Click!"
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the whole body tightened and loosened for no reason, and the whole body trembled, as if the sound of something breaking sounded in my head.
Then, the whole person felt as if he had entered a broader space, and the whole body inexplicably felt a sense of relaxation, and his breathing became no longer rapid, and his heartbeat quickly calmed down, but the beating was extremely powerful, as if there was a war drum beating, and the powerful pump force made the blood flow smoother and more powerful, and at this moment his running speed was increasing unabated.
Lu Xing had some realization in his heart that he should have broken through the limit of his body and taken a big step towards becoming stronger.
After feeling that his body was comfortable with this sprint state, Lu Xing accelerated his speed again, wanting to know where his body's limit was and that his evolution had reached that point.
The wolf king, who had been going hand in hand with him, was a little confused by his sudden acceleration, because before, the wolf king could easily keep up with his speed, but now, it was extremely difficult, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's running rhythm at all.
You know, wolves are canines, speed and endurance are not possessed by most beasts, and when they hunt, they will persistently chase certain targets, even until they are exhausted to death.
What Lu Xing didn't know was that his current speed and endurance had nearly doubled that of the Wolf King.
……
Zhu Youcai and Xu Shi were mixed in the back of the middle row, and the ability picture only appeared in Xu Shi's left eye socket, the purpose was to save more mental power.
Half a day later, Zhu Youcai looked up at the sky, then raised his wrist to look at it, and muttered in his mouth: "Nima's, why did it stop again!" ”
What he said was that the watch had stopped again, this thing was put now, the function was already a little unreliable, with it probably just a display of identity, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an antique, this is still the standard configuration of the group for each commander, otherwise, he is a battalion commander, and he can't afford to buy a mechanical watch before the disaster.
Xu Shi turned his head to look at him: "Camp Commander Zhu, why do you keep looking at your watch that has long been stopped?" ”
"Hey, hey, it's just a habit, it's been six or seven hours since the rapid march in the morning, the soldiers need to rest, otherwise their physical strength will drop greatly, in this wilderness, they must be kept in the best condition, so as not to affect their combat effectiveness!"
Of course Xu Shi knew what Zhu Youcai meant by looking at the watch, that is, for the overseer to show him, his identity was the battalion commander, yes, but that was an idler who took the battalion commander's supplies, and usually didn't have anything serious to do, these evolutionary people, each group was like a baby, no matter how much it was, it was not enough.
"Let the soldiers rest in place for half an hour and eat something!"
After the order was given, the soldiers began to rest in place according to their own battle sequence, took out the individual rations they had brought with them and began to gnaw on them.
It can be seen that these soldiers have not carried out this kind of training in normal times, and when they rested, each platoon left two people to guard in the distance.
Zhu Youcai took out a cigarette, popped one out of it, and handed it to Xu Shi.
"Battalion Commander Xu, can you see where they finally stopped?"
Xu Shi took the cigarette and lit it, spit out a small smoke ring and inhaled it with a mouthful, and then let the smell of tobacco fill every corner of his lungs, and only after a few seconds did he spit out a faint puff of smoke.
"No, it's too far away, but I guess it's not too far from where they're camping, because ......"
"Ah......h
Snapping......
"Something!"
Just as the two of them were talking, a soldier on guard in the sixth platoon suddenly let out a miserable scream, followed by the sound abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed his neck tightly, blocking all the air flow in his throat.
All the soldiers hurriedly crouched down, and the automatic rifles on their shoulders were brought to their chests.
Wu Yang, the leader of the sixth platoon, yelled: "Zhang Weijie, what's going on with him, go over and take a look!" ”
The crouching soldier responded: "Received the platoon commander!" ”
The soldier named Zhang Weijie bent down and touched the soldier who had fallen to the ground, and then saw that the soldier had a dagger-like chelate stuck in his neck.
The soldier's hand was a large pile of-like goo, and two pairs of transparent wings hung from the lower edge of the palm, which should have been a wasp to the eye.
"What's going on, Zhang Weijie?"
Wu Yang asked questions while running to the place of the accident, and when he saw the soldiers who fell to the ground, Wu Yang's scalp was numb.
"Nima's, it's a big trouble, it looks like it should be a hornet?"
Wasps belong to the Hymenoptera Slender Waist Suborder, also known as Hu Feng, ghost dizziness, extremely toxic, when disturbed, it will attack it in groups, the bee venom of the wasp can cause people to have allergic reactions and toxic reactions, and in severe cases, it can even lead to direct death.
This thing could sting people to death before it evolved, but now it's more than ten times larger than it used to be, not to mention poisonous.
Look at the soldier who fell to the ground, his neck is almost swollen like his head at the moment, the swollen throat directly blocked the trachea, making him suffocate, the mutated bee venom is a very toxic neurotoxin, the stung soldier suffered cardiopulmonary failure in the blink of an eye, and his life was whimpered.
Wu Yang put away the tactical knife and inserted it back into his calf, originally he planned to cut open the neck of the stung soldier and let the trachea unblock, but when he put the knife on the soldier's neck, the other party stopped struggling and completely held his breath.
"We have to hurry up, the hornets are large social insects, and the hornets that Zhao Bing shot to death will release pheromones that will attract other hornets to swarm!"
After Xu Shi glanced at the dead soldiers, he immediately made judgments and arrangements.
Wu Yang did not hesitate, because they were soldiers, weapons in the hands of those in power, and they had been trained countless times in the wilderness, and they knew everything that could threaten their personal safety in the wilderness.
"Li Qi, take a bag and pack Zhao Bing's body, and come back to bury him!"
"Yes!"
A soldier took out a body bag from his backpack, quickly loaded the dead Zhao soldier with his hands and feet, and then hastily threw some weeds on the body bag as cover and markers.
Xu Shi saw that the soldiers had finished cleaning up, and immediately pointed to the southwest and said, "In that direction, run with all your might!" ”
The soldiers have been trained for a long time, and their ability to run is extremely strong, and in the initial stage of physical strength, the speed can reach more than twenty-five to thirty kilometers, which is just the same as the maximum speed of the hornet, and the direction pointed by Xu Shi happens to be headwind, and the speed of the hornet will be greatly reduced under the headwind, which is enough to provide everyone with an effective opportunity to escape.
Everyone did not dare to hesitate, and immediately formed a formation according to their respective battle sequences and began to run wildly.
"Buzz...... Airplanes...... Airplanes! ”
However, before everyone could run, the sound of wasp wings cutting through the air flow was heard from above the sky.
When everyone looked up, they were all blinded, because about a hundred and ten meters away from everyone, a large cloud of colorful clouds was coming rapidly.
When Zhu Youcai saw this group of wasps appear, he urinated at that time: "This ...... Nima's ...... There are no less than 10,000 hornets on visual inspection, this time it's a big trouble, ten platoons are long, and the shock bomb is ready! ”
The mechanism of action of the stun bomb is to produce a loud noise and a strong light source when exploding, so that the surrounding people lose their sense of direction, hearing and vision, and it seems to be more suitable for the situation in front of them.
When the tenth platoon commander heard the order, he shouted: "Everyone in the first squad prepares, and the bombs are dropped in echelons...... Throw! ”
A squad, including the squad leader, ten soldiers pulled down the safety at the same time, and threw it out after a delay of three seconds.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble! ”
Ten stun bombs exploded at the same time, and the sound was simply shocking, and the strong light and loud noise made everyone who was fleeing a little deaf.
"Don't stop, keep running!"
Zhu Youcai yelled.
Because after the stun bomb exploded just now, he only saw that less than a third of the wasps were shaken to the ground, but those hornets that landed on the ground did not die, but flew back up after a few times on the ground.
At this moment, everyone only hated that their parents had two legs less, and they ran forward desperately.
"Ah...... Help me! ”
"Ah, don't leave me!"
Suddenly, two screams rang out, and the two soldiers were stung directly by bee needles on the back of their necks, and the whole person fell to the ground, and then was instantly surrounded by dense wasps.
Xu Shi, who was running away, suddenly saw two metal canisters behind a soldier, so he shouted: "Platoon leader, what is that soldier carrying?" ”
When the platoon leader saw that it was the flame gunner Huang Minghao, he immediately roared in pain: "Huang Minghao, you run a fart, quickly set fire to this group of damn hornets!" ”
"Oh...... Be! ”
Xu Shi was a little speechless: "Nima's, a group of people have fled patronizing, forgetting that we still have the advantage of human beings, hurry up and ignite the fire, even if the animal has evolved, its habits have not changed, this thing should be able to deal with a hornet swarm!" ”
"Bang...... Call! ”
Hearing the order, Huang Minghao also reacted, turned on the safety, picked up the muzzle of the jet gun with both hands, and pressed the switch against the colorful clouds in the air.
"Poof...... Call! ”
In an instant, a fire dragon more than thirty meters long suddenly appeared, and it shot into the hornet colony with unmistakable accuracy.
"Gurgle...... Crackling! ”
Suddenly, the entire colony was ignited, and countless hornets on fire fell to the ground one after another, because of the continuous burning of solid fuel, it burned into a charred black charcoal in the blink of an eye.
Burst...... Call!
Huang Minghao pressed the launch switch twice in succession, and the two fire dragons directly covered the entire hornet colony, and after a few minutes, the crisis was lifted, and the remaining hornets fled in a hurry.
Xu Shi patted Huang Minghao on the shoulder: "Yes, don't be so flustered next time, if we hadn't been in a hurry to escape, those two soldiers wouldn't have died!" ”
Huang Minghao didn't speak, and his heart was about to collapse: Nima's, who is panicking, it wasn't you commanders who ordered him to escape, I'm a big-headed soldier, dare not listen?
Zhu Youcai walked in front of the two stung soldiers, then squatted down and carefully examined the injuries of the two soldiers.
"Hey...... It's too late, this thing is so poisonous now, pay attention to it later, it's not just some big beasts that can kill us, it's a wetland, or a strange jungle, or some unknown thing, it may kill us! ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
"Nima's, it's good now, humans have become a vulnerable group, I heard that before the natural disaster, there were many animals that were protected, including wolves, leopards, and even bears!"
After the hornet's crisis was resolved, three soldiers died, and they were hastily buried in the wilderness, and the pit less than a foot old became their permanent graveyard.
Everyone knew that in such a cemetery, the corpses of soldiers would definitely not survive the night, and they would be eaten up, but in the wilderness, they had no other way, and it was already humane to be able to avoid exposing the corpses in the wilderness.
"Everyone hurry up and rest and eat something, if we can't catch the murderer's hiding place before dark, we need to find a place to camp, you know that in the wilderness now, the night will be more dangerous!"
Zhu Youcai urged the soldiers to rest and eat quickly, because, as he said, the wilderness at night is even more dangerous.
After resting for less than an hour, everyone set off again, still using the platoon as the battle sequence, chasing Lu Xing and them in the direction of their escape.
Suddenly, Xu Shi turned his head to look into the distance, where there seemed to be a huge black thing, staring here.
"Battalion Commander Zhu, give me the binoculars!"
Zhu Youcai took off the telescope from his waist and handed it to Xu Shi, who took it and looked directly into the distance.
About five kilometers in the distance, on the edge of a dense jungle, a giant black wolf, a few points larger than a bison, was staring at Xu Shi.
"Ah......h
Xu Shi was startled, the eyes of the black wolf gave him the feeling of being like someone.
