Devil Moth.

One of the deadly and high-risk xenomorphs of the wasteland.

Although its individual combat power is not very strong, and even the creeper may be able to fight it inextricably, if you want to rank it according to the degree of danger, I am afraid that even the creeper will have to bow to it.

The risk factor, at least B or above!

This organism usually occurs in social form, its larvae feed on spirit leaves, and the adults are omnivorous and predominantly carnivorous.

The larvae are not capable of fighting, but the mouthparts of the adults are extremely sharp and have an extremely strong bite!

It is said that the strongest of the Devil Moth Empresses in the clan can even tear through steel. And the average devil moth can bite through a few pieces of body armor.

Of course, not every nest of Devil Moths can give birth to such a Devil Moth Empress, just as not all Claw Crabs have their Empress.

But even then, it's dangerous enough.

Interestingly, although these xenospecies are pests, they are not all useless.

For example, the larvae of the devil moth secrete a silk thread called "devil's silk", which is used to make cocoons.

It is said that the strength of this devil silk is so high that it exceeds that of some polymer biopolymers, and its light material is often used to make armor with excellent performance. This material is not only popular with mercenaries, caravan guards, and other wasteland visitors, but also among the upper class of Boulder City.

However, this type of xenomorph is not common, and its needs for a living environment are even harsher than that of mutant leeches.

First of all, they need enough light and heat, and secondly, their larvae also need to feed on spirit leaves, otherwise the population will not be able to reproduce at all.

As for the spirit leaf, it is said that it can be used to make a mildly addictive stimulant, and if you simply make tea, it has a refreshing effect that is far superior to ordinary coffee and tea.

The ruins of an abandoned greenhouse, why is there such a thing as a spirit leaf?

This is what Chu Guang can't figure out the most.

Looking at the description of the [Macabazi] brother on the forum, there are still a lot of devil moths they encountered in the greenhouse......

Makabazi: "Gan! You can't imagine how unlucky Lao Tzu is! The fringe guy and I were going to go to the greenhouse ruins to see if there were any good things that could be recycled, but as soon as we entered, the moths pounced on us and gnawed at them! ”

Night Ten: "It's okay to explore the grass with your face, it always reminds me of a person." (Funny)"

Raven: "Hahahaha! This man died twice! Cuisine! Ducks! Hahahaha! o(*≧▽≦)ツ”

Makabazi: "(#'Д′)! ”

Fang Chang: "Don't worry about whether you want to eat or not, how did you get in?" ”

Tempest: "I'm curious about that too. If memory serves, the door outside the greenhouse is electrically switched? And they've all been rusted to death. Lao Bai bent two steel pipes without prying them open, and he didn't move at all when he blew them up with gunpowder, so we all suspected that it was a game texture. ”

Makabazi: "The fringe guy is a fireman, and he's a perception department, and this guy walked around that tower-like greenhouse, muttering to me that there must be a fire escape to get into. I thought it made sense, so I searched with him for a while, and sure enough, I found a security door in the warehouse! ”

Fang Chang: "The security door in the warehouse? I think I've seen that, but I can't open it, right? ”

Tempest: "Well, that thing is electrified, too. ”

Makabazi: "The magic is here!" We tried it and couldn't pry it open, but we could find a distribution box in the room. The Guy at the Edge checked the distribution box and found that the switch inside was jammed and the fuse had burned. The fringe guy wanted to fix it, but he couldn't understand it at all, so we scratched our ears and cheeks for a while, and then came up with a stupid way to unplug all the replaceable inserts in the box, and then find all the replaceable parts around and replace them. ”

"We didn't even think it would work, but after replacing a few things that I don't know if they were batteries or fuses, the lights on the doors magically lit up! Then we couldn't wait to open the security door and walk inside the greenhouse...... And then I'll hit the big moths in the face! ”

Edge paddling: "It's called the devil moth!" I asked! ”

Macabazi: "Yo, the Edge dude is back?" You okay? ”

Edge paddling: "Hey, hey, it's okay, the VM was brought back, and the equipment on my body was saved." It's just that the injury is too serious and is made up by teammates. ”

Raven: "o(*≧▽≦)ツ"

Fang Chang: "I just saw that the official website updated the information of the devil moth, saying that the silk thread produced by the larvae of the devil moth is a textile material with excellent performance, the teeth of the devil moth can be used to make tools such as daggers and scissors, and the spirit leaves eaten by the larvae can be used to make stimulants." ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "it! Premium equipment materials?! Wouldn't that be rich?! ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "No matter how rich you are, you have to have a life." You look at Brother Ba and Brother Marginal, one power is one perception system, and the level is lv4, but the result is directly given for nothing, isn't it enough to explain the problem? ”

Fang Chang: "Well, what especially surprised me was that the perception system of lv4 actually didn't have an enemy judgment, and the concealment of the devil moth is probably higher than that of the creeper!" ”

Lao Bai: "This is really scary to think about, and there are crops in that greenhouse?" Other words...... There's still electricity in there? ”

Fang Chang: "This possibility is very high, the power supply system of the gate and the cultivation system inside the greenhouse may be two completely different sets of power sources. Let's make a bold assumption, what is the biggest concern for the safety of this highly integrated greenhouse? ”

Lao Bai: "Power outage? ”

Fang Chang: "That's right! Unlike traditional agriculture, once the power is cut off, it means that the ventilation system, water supply system, and light system are completely interrupted, and it only takes a few hours to cause the crops to die in an unsuitable temperature, air, and light environment. So in addition to relying on the public grid, such facilities should also be equipped with independent power sources. ”

Tempest: "Well, and the backup power for the internal facilities to work is not the same as the external facilities. ”

Night Ten: "What power source can work for two hundred years?!" ”

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Are you stupid?" The pre-war era in the background of the game is already half utopia, right? Controlled nuclear fusion is not basic manipulation? One kilogram of helium-3 can generate 1.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 100 tons is enough for the world to burn for a year. What is this concept? Let's say there's a one-ton fusion fuel rod in it, let alone two hundred years, and I guess it's going to be fine for the next century. ”

Tempest: "You don't even need nuclear fusion, even the solid-state hydrogen batteries that often appear in science fiction works are enough for a long time." Since hydrogen itself is inactive, batteries can theoretically be stored for a long time as long as the battery structure is not damaged. ”

Night Ten: "How is that possible?!" Even if it is controlled fusion, does the equipment not need to be maintained? ”

Canyon Fugitive Mole: "Then what do you want, do you want the game developer to build you a verified?" Is eve going to have to build you a stargate? Does JK Rowling still have to cast a spell on you? ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fang Chang hurriedly played a round.

"Okay, okay, the horns set by the night ten diamonds are pointed, let's ignore him for now, and tell me what you think."

The canyon is on the run, and the mole continues typing.

"It's a very short answer.,I guess this should be a monster farming point.,The official website says that devil silk is a good thing.,There's also the material of the devil moth.,And those spirit leaves that can be doped.,It's clear that it's a high-yield capital.。 The question now is how to farm monsters safely. It's definitely not okay to rush head-on.,Lv4's power is something that the old brother can't withstand.,I guess it's enough for others to go.。 ”

Later, the players discussed it for a full twenty pages, and Chu Guang saw it until the end.

At first, this group of people decided to try fire attack, which is just right to restrain the insect aliens, but the disadvantage is that the loot will also burn together, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave anything.

There was also a mention of putting air conditioning in.

But the building itself is durable enough that it may not be so easy to tear down the greenhouse. Coupled with the fact that if the facilities inside are still working and there is enough heat to be generated, it is difficult to say how much effect an opening of a window-sized hole can have.

Finally, after some discussion, a group of people decided to lure the devil moths out of the safe passage and then break them one by one outside.

When the number of devil moths in the nest is low, rush in and raid a quick wave and then retreat.

As for mosquitoes......

He chose the wrong person, left a sentence that I am the best at this job, and then went offline from the official website early and ran into the game.

Chu Guang didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't interfere with the player's gameplay, and now the outpost's active material reserves were quite sufficient, allowing them to die a little.

Devil's silk can not only be used as armor, but also as a specialty and traded with other survivors' strongholds, which is not too cool.

In particular, the analysis of this group of players mentioned that it is very likely that there is a controllable fusion battery that can be recycled in this greenhouse.

If that's the case, you're really going to make a fortune!

……

The players are very strong in execution.

A convoy was pulled on the official website, and a group stepped on the wasteland time at six o'clock in the morning to go online, and surrounded the greenhouse ruins with a large group of guys.

It is too bad to shoot moths with guns, and in the case that bullets are not luxurious enough to be fired at will, cold weapons with larger traumatic surfaces and lower costs are better to use.

The group split up and quickly found the structural drawings of the greenhouse, as well as some replaceable parts that had not yet been looted.

The thumb-thick tube is probably some kind of solid fuel cell, which can supply power to independent equipment such as gates and firefighting appliances, and the round tube with the thickness of the index finger is probably some kind of fuse used in professional equipment, and it is not clear what the specific material is.

Not all of the game's settings are exactly the same as reality.

The Niu Ma squad did not participate in this operation, and the commander of the operation was the book brother "The Mole on the Run" in the forum, who had a relatively high prestige.

As soon as everyone heard that he was an unemployed painter, they immediately invited him to the position of commander.

Brother Mole also lived up to expectations and quickly developed a battle plan.

"The whole greenhouse is divided into an above-ground part and an underground part, with the above-ground part having only 5 floors and the underground part having 10 floors. According to unreliable analysis, the location of the 9th basement floor is probably connected to the paralyzed urban drainage system, and I estimate that the devil moth came in from there, and the spirit leaf seeds are probably also brought by them! ”

"The 10th basement floor should be the location of the backup reactor! There's a good chance that the Devil Moth has turned it into a brood! ”

"According to the description on the design drawings, there is an active shut-off valve connection between the first and second greenhouses."

"Strategically, we close the valve and cut off the connection between the first layer and the other layers, so that the entire first layer is ours!"

[Construction site boy and brick] nodded excitedly.

"What a great idea! Close the door and hit the dog! Layer by layer, you will definitely be able to hit the brood! Those devil silks and materials are not in our pockets! ”

[Elf King Fugui] coaxed excitedly.

"Sell it to the rich woman vine!"

A certain force is asked by a player.

"The question is how?"

[The mole on the run from the canyon] tapped on the map and drew an insert at the end of the passage with charcoal.

"Tactically, we need two tanks in front, concrete scrap and wood as cover, keep the devil moth out of the passage, and then two agile tie to follow, poking out of the gap with spears! These insects don't have any brains, they will only swarm and pounce on them, and with a little better cooperation, they should be fine! ”

"That's it!"

Two power-based players work together to set up simple obstacles along the way through a safe passage to the greenhouse's ruins, armed with a temporary cover made of carpentry.

These obstacles were mainly to facilitate their retreat so that they would not be surrounded by the devil moths that pounced on them.

As they approached the exit of the passage, the two forces threw sacks containing concrete fragments on the ground and used the wood that had been brought in from behind them to build temporary fortifications.

The staggered pieces of wood were like layers of nets, supported by several main beams, locking the entire half-meter-wide space tightly, and it took two hours to complete the fortification.

These moths are as long as an arm, and the smaller ones have half an arm, and the holes left behind don't have to worry about them getting through.

"Everyone, get ready, I'm going to pull the monster!"

As he spoke, a power-based player took out a Molotov cocktail from his waist, reached out of the bunker and lit it, and threw it into the open space in the greenhouse.

There was a crunch and the bottle was torn apart.

The flames stabbed and sprung up, immediately attracting the devil moths lying on the walls around them.

There was no combustible material around, and the fire didn't burn long and was quickly extinguished.

But then these xenos discovered the "dazzling" heat sources hidden behind the humble barricades.

There was a tooth-aching grinding sound.

One by one, the moths smashed like bullets and slammed into the wooden bunker, squeaking the sticks that were arm thick.

The two sides collided solidly!

"Holy! The strength of these moths is really great! ”

"Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore! Gan! ”

"It's moving, it's moving! Bear with me! ”

The agile player crouching behind did not dare to hesitate, and immediately stabbed the spear in his hand, retracted it, and stabbed it out again, repeating the simple and primitive piston movement.

Although not every shot can accurately hit anything, such a random shot can always poke two unlucky ghosts to death.

Originally, the advantage of the devil moth was not defense, the soft abdomen was like paper paste, and when a spear poked down, a large lump of blood and intestines on the spearhead was instantly wet, hanging with the blood and intestines of insects, as well as cilia rubbed off its wings.

"What the hell am I going to fuck with?!"

"You use some force!"

"Gan! Lao Tzu tried harder, but there were too many of them! ”

"I can't stand it! Don't poke at me, come and help me—"

However, the unfortunate boy was not yet halfway through his words, and the wooden fortifications were like a dam that had burst its banks, and had been swept away by the insect tide.

Even if the player of the power system pushes it again, the cover will not be able to withstand it.

The wood was bitten and torn apart.

Soon the bones and flesh too.

Before the four little players even turned around, the connection to the clone was instantly disconnected and they went back to the official website.

Since there was no chance of retreat, the barricades they left along the way were completely useless.

Short mournful sounds echoed through the passages, and the deafening hum of wings.

Several players guarding the entrance to the passage exchanged glances and looked at each other.

"Gave it for nothing so quickly?"

"I don't know...... But when I listened to the voice, I guess it was gone. ”

The first round of temptations ended in failure.

However, these players did not give up, but became more and more courageous, and soon began the second round of action.

This time, the front row is now three power-based players, followed by two power-based sprouts as substitutes, tending to cover and replacing the exhausted players in the front row.

Further back are three agility players, each carrying four spears, and one Constitution player carrying Goblin Tek's "Hellfire 0.3" on his back.

This thing is sponsored by mosquitoes for free, and there is no charge for money, as long as you run out and write a use experience on the official website.

This version of the "Hellfire" is said to have a tempering valve installed, so there will be no more flames burning back along the fuel.

However, even if the mosquito that swears how fierce this guy is, he can't guarantee that there will be no other accidents.

How else would it be a sample?

It's already free, what do you want?

In short, the things produced by Goblin Technology can not be used, and they must not be used unless they have to, which is also the teaching of the front-line commander Mole Brother to the soldiers.

The nine players were finally ready to make their way into the passageway, and the crowded formation filled the road.

They are completely involved with these moths, and they will not give up until they get this field back.

However, judging from the current state of the war, progress does not seem to be optimistic.

As if they couldn't finish killing these moths, wave after wave rushed over.

In the end, the nine-member team couldn't stand it anymore, and was forced to use goblin technology, barely enough to evacuate everyone before the flamethrower was blown up, and temporarily closed the entrance to the safe passage.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and counting the team that went in before to annihilate, the players paid the price of 4 dead and 2 wounded.

And the devil moth in the first layer probably died hundreds, or even more.

As for the specific amount, it is not clear, after all, in this case, there is no way to count the results, and it can only be estimated by feeling.

The battle damage ratio is 4:100+, which can be said to be very strong, not to mention the courage of ordinary survivors to face such a monster, and even to enter the lair.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no loot today, only a wave of living forces on the opposite side is consumed......

Looking at the early sky, even if the players who touched the gray nose were unwilling, they could only wait for tomorrow to come again.

Regarding the result of "4 dead and 2 injured", Chu Guang, who was ob throughout the whole process, was completely expected, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

The big victory over the Marauders a few days ago has made the players somewhat drifting, and it's not a bad thing to suffer a loss.

Fire attack is a good idea, but quantity is an issue, and hunting is different from warfare, which requires the preservation of materials.

Maybe try smoking next time?

As the price of growth, a small number of casualties is completely acceptable to Chu Guang, anyway, as long as the VM is picked up, it is not too much of a loss.

In particular, Chu Guang recently discovered that nibbles can also extract active substances.

Although the amount is pitiful, one can only provide 0.1~0.2 units, and the discharged waste is even more useless, and can only be thrown into the septic tank as biological waste, but it is better than nothing.

Killing the Eater is not that hard.

As long as it is not encountered in the narrow terrain such as subways and ruins, even the new team can easily kill a few by relying on kite play.

So far, among the 100 new players, more than 7 percent of the players have reached lv1, and the highest level of the old players has even reached lv6, and they are all about to touch their taillights.

Chu Guang's own "manager" sequence has been developed to 9%, which is lv9 in game terms, and is only a little short of lv10.

Maybe command another campaign, or follow the players to learn more experience, and maybe break through.

It is indeed quite rare for a power leader like himself, who is not only extremely intelligent, but also brave and unparalleled, to be in a surviving stronghold other than the barbarian tribe.

A little pride is not too much.

Chu Guang, who was patrolling the industrial area with a sledgehammer on his back, thought so in his heart.

At this moment, Brother Levine of the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant suddenly trotted towards him.

The little player's face was as red as a furnace, and he didn't know if it was blown by the northwest wind, or out of admiration and worship for himself.

"Dear Administrator! I have an important matter to report to you! ”

Stopping to look at him, Chu Guang said.

"Say."

Brother Levine clenched his fists excitedly and took a deep breath.

"Your custom armor!"

"We're done!"
