Chapter 248: Time Scale (6)
"One thousand two hundred hours, one day and night alternate in the Red Moon World, which is equivalent to fifty days on the normal timeline, it seems that this urgent task can still be completed."
173 said excitedly, completely ignoring the incomprehensible eyes of Xu Xiaoxiao and Ye Shuihan beside him.
"That's right, presumably your system's time definition for an urgent mission must be a day and night in the Red Moon World, so there is a lot more time, and it is not impossible to kill the Insect King......"
659 nodded and said in agreement.
"Kill the Insect King? What did you encounter earlier? ”
The two Elders exchanged words with each other, Xu Xiaoxiao and Ye Shuihan didn't understand at all, but when 659 mentioned the words "killing the Insect King", the woman in armor interrupted.
"We've had a wave of shadow bugs before, and thanks to your people, 173 and I might have to be there."
Turning his gaze back from 173's face, 659 spoke.
"Shadow Bug Tide?!"
What 659 didn't expect was that Xu Xiaoxiao's face changed drastically after hearing the words Shadow Insect Tide, and all his emotions disappeared, leaving only deep fear.
"You've actually encountered a shadow bug, and it's a bug tide that has already formed a scale?!"
Ye Shuihan was not calm at this time, and his body couldn't help but take a step forward, staring at 659's eyes.
"Yes......"
Although he knew that the situation was a little bad, 659 did not deceive the two of them, and told the story as it was.
"No wonder only the big and small colors are back, the 22nd Corps...... No ......."
With a plop, the thin Ye Shuihan sat directly on the ground, his face full of decadence and despair.
"No, it won't! The bearded man is already a gold first-class non-commissioned officer, and Gu Changfeng, who is also a middle-level gold second-class non-commissioned officer, will not die like this, no......"
Xu Xiaoxiao shook his head mechanically, and his apricot eyes were full of disbelief.
Looking at the sad two people in front of him, 659's brows furrowed deeply, he had always had a question in his heart, but he didn't know if it was a good time to ask.
After thinking about it repeatedly, 659 decided that it would be better to ask directly.
After all, he was here to gather as much information as he could in order to prepare for what was next.
"If I'm not mistaken, all the soldiers of the 22nd Corps should be wearing combat uniforms with high hidden skills, right? I won't ask about the source of the technology of this clothes, what makes me feel strange is that this high-concealment technology should have a strong concealment, why did the soldiers of the 22nd Corps not choose to evacuate with us, but drew their knives and charged to start a white-knuckle battle with the Shadow Insect Tide? ”
At first glance, 659's inquiry at this moment was really excessive, the 22nd Corps dragged the Shadow Worm Tide at the cost of their lives, allowing the two Elders to escape, while the survivors questioned the rationality of the 22nd Corps' decision afterwards.
No matter how you look at it, it smells like a white-eyed wolf.
But 659 can't care so much, at this moment he just wants to know the truth behind the matter, because anyone who has seen those soldiers draw their swords to meet the enemy can't easily erase the memory in their minds.
"If they encounter something else, then it's okay to say, but what they encountered is a shadow insect, and it is also a shadow insect that has formed a wave of insects, and the high hidden technology can't help them......"
Ye Shuihan, who was sitting on the ground, snorted, stretched out his right hand to his pocket, and took out the cigarette case that had been flattened again.
"High concealment technology can fool the naked eye, can fool thermal imagers, and can even fool radar...... But it just can't fool the spirit detection. ”
"The scale of the shadow insect swarm has been formed, and there must be the existence of the insect king, as the king branch of the shadow insect, the most prominent feature of the shadow insect king is that it has the ability to detect spirits."
"That's why all the soldiers of the 22nd Corps didn't retreat with you, because there are only two human-faced lizards that can shield the mental power of the passengers!"
After the snorting sound, the orange-red fire appeared on the matchstick, but I don't know if it was because Ye Shuihan's hand was trembling, or because the burning of red phosphorus was not stable, the flame jumped for a while, and it couldn't even light the flat cigarette.
The Shadow Worm, as an omega-level mutated creature, is far more terrifying than 659 and 173 imagined.
If the 22nd Corps had not launched a frontal charge with the Insect Tide at that time, but had chosen to retreat with the two Elders, then the final result would likely be that they were locked by the Shadow Insect King's spiritual power and eventually led the Insect Tide to the entrance of the N-B dungeon.
And once the insect tide enters the city, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The Shadow Insect King has the ability to detect spirits...... So the two of us were able to escape smoothly because Hu Teng also dragged the insect tide with his life......"
173 muttered a whisper, and since he had left first, he hadn't noticed that the 22nd Corps was charging towards the insect tide.
He had always thought that the fighters were just helping them delay for a while before finally reuniting with them at the finish line.
It's just that I didn't expect that the other party used the lives of the entire corps to drag down the insect tide.
"It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead......"
At this sad moment, Ye Shuihan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly laughed.
And the laughter is getting louder and louder, more and more presumptuous.
If it is said that it is emotional confusion caused by excessive sadness, it can still be understood and accepted by ordinary people.
But Ye Shuihan in front of him seemed to have changed as a person, no longer as elegant as before, even the aura of cheapness was gone, and the whole person became very terrifying, just looking at the expression on his face, it could give people a sense of bloodthirsty and tyrannical terror.
Looking at Ye Shuihan, whose emotions were gradually out of control, 659 frowned and cast an inquiring look at Xu Xiaoxiao on the side.
I saw Xu Xiaoxiao's face flustered, and he stepped forward quickly and dragged Ye Shuihan up from the ground.
Although the movements were very direct, 659 could tell that the woman was still very careful to control her strength.
It's like a strong man who can carry the tripod, carefully carving fine handicrafts.
I can't control my own violent power well, but I can't hide the love for the person in front of me.
"Shui Han, how are you? Brace yourself! ”
The woman's arms were like a huge iron tongs, firmly fixing Ye Shuihan's body in place, but despite this, Ye Shuihan still laughed wildly, his body writhed, and he read indistinctly.
"It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead, kill! Kill them all! Kill all of you monkeys! Hahahaha!! ”
"What's wrong with him?"
Seeing Ye Shuihan's crazy look, 659's brows, which had just been loosened for a long time, were locked together again.
Instead of answering 659's question, Xu Xiaoxiao turned his head to another position and shouted at the people in the distance.
"Go and call Uncle Bai, go quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, the two Elders noticed that around the hall, that is, a hundred paces away from them, there were still people in white isolation suits.
After these people heard Xu Xiaoxiao's shout, one of them immediately ran out and rushed into a building that looked like a telephone booth on the side.
The rest of the people put down their belongings and moved closer to the center of the hall.
"Sedative, a sedative first!"
At the front was a petite medical worker, whose face was obscured by a heavy isolation mask, but could still tell from the voice that it was a young girl.
After Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, the medical staff skillfully operated the transparent needle filled with medicine in his hand, ready to pierce Ye Shuihan's body.
But Ye Shuihan, who looked thin, didn't know where he got the strength, and suddenly his eyes widened and he writhed violently.
Even Xu Xiaoxiao, who restricted his movements, didn't expect that Ye Shuihan would burst out with such power.
Defenseless, the syringe in the hands of the medical staff was lifted off and fell to the ground and shattered into slag.
"Ahh
The petite girl was also pushed by this strange force and stumbled for a while, and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the companion behind her reached out in time and helped the girl in time, which prevented her from falling to the ground.
Compared to the slightly chaotic crowd, 659 was much calmer, only to see his hand reach out and tap a few times on the monocle, and a pale green data stream quickly swiped across the surface of the lens.
"There is no abnormality in the preliminary detection target, and detailed analysis is recommended"
"Nothing unusual? Is it pretended? ”
659's eyebrows were raised, he glanced at Ye Shuihan, who was almost crazy, and silently took a step back and disappeared into the crowd.
Compared with 659's caution, 173 paid more attention to Ye Shuihan's situation, and subconsciously leaned towards Xu Xiaoxiao, as if he wanted to help.
However, before 173 could ask, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned his head to look at the people behind him, and shouted at the same time.
"Get out of the way and stay at least fifty paces away from me!"
"What? Back off? ”
173 Hearing the content of Xu Xiaoxiao's shout, the hand that had been stretched out in the air paused again.
The gathered crowd seemed to have experienced this kind of scene, and they all retreated backwards quickly and orderly, and even 659, who was hidden in the crowd, obeyed Xu Xiaoxiao's order after being slightly stunned, and for a while, only 173 and the little girl who almost fell remained next to Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Hurry up!"
Seeing that there were still people beside him who had not withdrawn, Xu Xiaoxiao was obviously a little anxious, and hurriedly urged the two to leave.
"Don't you really need help?"
173 cast an inquiring glance at Xu Xiaoxiao, but was quickly refuted by the woman's firm look.
"No, you don't! Get out of the way, it's dangerous here! ”
The little girl who almost fell down stood in place, looking at the debris on the ground at a loss.
At first glance, it is a newcomer who has not experienced much of an emergency, and when what happens in reality is different from what he expected, he will be stunned and don't know what to do.
"Get her away,! It's too late, Ye Shuihan, you fight for the old lady! ”
Xu Xiaoxiao scolded angrily, wrapped his right arm, firmly held Ye Shuihan in his arms, and pushed his other hand on 173's chest, trying to forcibly push the daze Elder away.
Before he could feel the tremendous force coming from his chest, 173 suddenly noticed that the bare arm of the woman in front of him seemed to have changed slightly, and the originally tight and elastic skin became pale and rough, giving people an unusually thick feeling just by looking at it.
"It's ...... Ability to be released? ”
Before the thought could flash through 173's mind, a huge shockwave slammed into him, pushing him ten steps away......
