Chapter 12: Fire Meteor
Forklifts place three barrels of chemical raw materials in an open space outside the factory.
The lid of one of them was specially opened, causing the liquid to evaporate.
The factory manager and the foreman hid behind several wooden boxes, looking at the bait that had been put on the spot.
"How long do you think it will last?"
Wiping the sweat on his face, the factory director looked back at the workers who were still stepping up the handling of raw materials not far away, and couldn't help but ask.
"It depends on how many monsters come...... I still suggest that the move is almost withdrawn, we can control a small amount of raw material leakage, and the follow-up treatment can also use the name of the Special Affairs Bureau to block a lot of trouble, if there are casualties, it will be a big trouble. ”
At this time, I don't care about the pollution that may be caused by the leakage of chemical raw materials, and it's a big deal to spend money to deal with it when the time comes, no matter what, it's better than being a monster.
"You're right, safety is the most important thing, and it's almost time."
Glancing at his watch, the factory director turned on the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly,
"After this round of moving, everyone enters the main building, remember to close the doors and windows, I have a meeting."
After shouting, the factory director took out his mobile phone to contact the Special Affairs Bureau, and the phone was quickly connected.
"How's it going?"
An Ling's voice came from the other end.
"We have stored too many chemical raw materials you said here, and we can't move them in a short time, and now the monster hasn't appeared yet, I want to evacuate first after sealing a part, and I want to ensure the safety of my employees."
"Yes, you'd better leave some of it outside to be used as bait to buy time."
"Preparations are already underway here......"
Tong~
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound behind him.
The factory director shivered for no reason, his back was numb, and then he felt that the foreman was pulling his clothes.
Swallowing his saliva, he turned around, and saw the overturned barrel of raw materials, and there was a thick liquid flowing out of the gap but not falling to the ground, but it kept moving upwards as if it was being sucked by something, and then several thin lines spread around, outlining a hideous shape.
"Hello? Can you hear me? ”
The factory director did not respond for a long time, and An Ling opened his mouth to ask.
"Here they are, they're already here...... Everyone hurry to the main building, and put down all the work at hand, monster! ”
At this time, where could the director take care of anything else, the first time he saw the monster, his heart was already filled with fear, and he hurriedly grabbed the megaphone to inform everyone in the rear.
The workers, who were still busy a second ago, looked blankly at the factory director and foreman who suddenly ran to the main building, their faces full of confusion.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a sound of heavy objects falling from the greenhouse overhead, and everyone looked up in unison, only to see that the roof of the shed, which should be strong and firm, was smashed out of several pits, and the rivets at the junction were shaken off a lot.
In addition to the astonishment, everyone immediately heard a dense crunch sound coming from above, as if something was crawling back and forth on the roof of the shed.
Until the bottom of one of the pits suddenly cracked, and the iron sheet was torn open, making a sharp noise.
At this time, everyone present suddenly realized that the monster had appeared in front of them, but what they saw was still a deep darkness.
With the exclamations, everyone began to flee towards the main building or other surrounding factories, some who couldn't run fast looked for cover nearby, and some simply cowered in the truck, scrambling to lock the windows.
At this moment, the screams of insects sounded around the greenhouse, and they had already locked on to their target!
The foreman's bait plan can't be said to be useless, it did attract a monster, but what he didn't expect was not just one insect beast, but a large group!
The rapidly deteriorating situation was immediately informed by An Ling through the factory director's mobile phone.
"The insects are faster than we thought, they have appeared inside the lead birch chemical plant and have begun to plunder the chemical raw materials!"
First, he sent a message to the teams led by Wu Senyan and Zhao Qianwu, but because he was not sure whether the insects would only attack one place, An Ling did not dare to let them return to help immediately.
In fact, at this time, Wu Senyan and the others turned around and rushed back, and it was estimated that it would be too late.
"How far is it from the chemical plant now?"
Yan Jing looked at the mountains and forests in the night outside the window and asked.
At this time, they had already left Shanqing City and came to the outskirts of the city, and it stands to reason that they were about to reach their destination.
After all, the insects have the ability to fly, they don't need to turn and brake, it's normal to be faster than them, and what they have to do now is to get to the scene as soon as possible to deal with those monsters.
"The location...... Ten kilometers, at our current speed, we can reach the scene in ten minutes! ”
An Ling glanced at the navigator, her face was a little ugly, and the speed of the insect was faster than expected.
"I'm asking about straight-line distances."
Yan Jing knew that the outskirts of Shanqing City were mostly mountainous, and the road would inevitably be winding, and at this time, next to the road they were on was a large valley, and large rice fields and scattered houses could be seen everywhere underneath, faintly revealing sparse light spots.
He also knew that if they had waited another ten minutes, they would have seen corpses all they saw when they arrived at the scene.
"Uh, about three to five kilometers?"
An Ling didn't quite understand the meaning of Yan Jing's question.
"I need the exact location of the chemical plant, preferably with a landmark building that is easy to identify."
"Looking outside, there is a small signal tower where the chemical plant is located, and at this point in time there are lights on it, which is easy to find in the dark mountain forest..... What do you want to do? ”
If you don't understand, you don't understand, but the trust in Yan Jing still made An Ling quickly point out the direction according to the former's requirements.
"Stop!"
"Huh?"
"Stop now!"
Yan Jing said in a deep voice.
Zhao Qing, who had been instructed by Wu Senyan before coming, began to lean on the side of the road without hesitation.
An Ling and Yu Zhen on the side looked at Yan Jing with surprise on their faces.
Now is the time to race against the clock, and stopping at this juncture is undoubtedly putting the lives of all the people in the chemical plant at great risk.
However, before the two of them could ask, Yan Jing had already opened the car door and walked out directly.
The two people in the car only saw him trot and accelerate, and finally kicked on the railing on the side of the road and leaped out, and then fell to the bottom without accident.
You don't need to jump the trail if you can't complete the task, right?
The two of them hurriedly got out of the car to check on the situation, and when they left the car and turned to look out, they saw a burly figure wrapped in orange flames rising into the sky, and at his feet was a skateboard that shimmered with silver-gray fluorescent.
In the blink of an eye, it galloped away with the sound of the howling wind.
Like a shooting star across the night sky!
Everyone in the Secret Service convoy poked their heads out of the windows and watched in amazement.
"Although everyone knows that his title is bald sword immortal...... But this Edgeworth is flying too fast, right? ”
Looking at the dissipating streamer in front of him, someone couldn't help but ask.
"He's been like that in a multitude of otherworldly events before?"
An Ling leaned over to Yu Zhen and asked, she knew that the latter had only participated in many otherworldly incidents with Yan Jing not long ago, but after speaking, she noticed the glint in the latter's eyes.
After being stunned for half a second, An Ling somehow pursed her lips and frowned subconsciously.
"No, he didn't use that skateboard at that time, I think it should be the prop he just got, to be able to reach this level, it must be a rare special prop, and it is the latest intelligent machine, it seems that his evaluation in the settlement of the mission in Jingjiang Town is far better than ours!"
Due to the early withdrawal from the mission, even if it was the choice given by the torch, Yu Zhen's settlement evaluation was still reduced to a minimum, and he only obtained some fire points and ordinary equipment.
Smart equipment only appeared after the Torch upgrade, and the Torch Bazaar itself does not sell rare equipment.
At this time, Yan Jing didn't care what the people behind him thought.
The first time he rode through the air, his attention was all on himself.
The oncoming wind was blocked by the barrier diversion automatically generated by the skimming, Yan Jing didn't need to squint, he could clearly see everything around him, and this feeling of flying in the air was undoubtedly intoxicating.
The moment he stepped on the skimming, the landing point seemed to be magnetically absorbed, and his feet could clearly step on the skateboard at will, but the whole person would not shake in the slightest, because the skateboard changed its movement almost at any time with his mind.
The choices that the Lucky Compass made for Yan Jing may not be the best, but they are often the ones he needs the most.
Skimming brings super mobility.
The strong wind pressure made the forest shake and sway, and the current limit altitude of skimming flight is 70 meters, and Yan Jing is not yet able to fly at high altitude.
You can see the verdant mountains and forests and vast fields as far as your eyes can see, and you can see the bright stars of the moon wheel when you look up.
Yan Jing swept across the night sky, spreading his arms wide, enjoying the freedom of taking off at this moment, and even the blood in his body began to boil, as if he should have had such an ability to soar in the sky, but he had been suppressing it all along.
The distance of three to five kilometers is rapidly decreasing, and the signal tower standing in front of the chemical plant is constantly amplifying.
Today's chemical plants are brightly lit.
In the dilapidated greenhouse, many raw material barrels flipped to the ground, and the barrels were poked out of many holes, and strangely colored liquids gushed out of them, and then disappeared out of thin air, all of which were sucked into the body by the insects.
The seemingly empty space was filled with the strange sound of straws and liquids, sometimes mixed with a roar or two.
Behind the stacked cargo box, the previously frightened legs were weak, and the man who had to hide nearby barely came back to his senses, panting heavily, he heard the constant stampede sound on the cargo box next to him, and the "pop~" sound when the carapace collided with the box.
He couldn't see anything, but he was already driven crazy by the strange noise coming from all directions.
Covered in cold sweat, the man gritted his teeth and moved his steps out, looking back behind him from time to time, he didn't know what was attacking the chemical plant, only that if he stayed where he was, he would probably be used as an after-dinner snack.
Looking at the main building in front of him, he could see the workers standing in front of the window, and as long as he could run there, he would be safe.
When he walked out of the greenhouse, the man ran wildly, but he only ran out a few steps, and there was a scream behind him, he didn't dare to look back, for fear that his legs would be weak, so he had to run forward.
But just when he was only a few dozen meters away from the main building, the sound of whistling wind suddenly sounded in his ears.
A long, fuzzy whip-like silhouette flashed through the factory lights.
The man's running legs straightened, as if they had been entangled in something, and he could no longer take a step.
The momentum of the forward rush was unstoppable, and his body fell straight forward.
However, the expected scene of the face falling to the ground did not appear, because at the same time as he fell, the man was already bound by tentacles and lifted into the air, dragged into the greenhouse, and he struggled to escape, only to see several workers around him who were in the same predicament as himself.
Wailing and struggling had no effect on these insects.
The man looked up at the night sky, hoping that someone would help him at this moment.
In a trance, he seemed to have an illusion that could be called fantastic.
In the night sky to the southeast, an orange-red fiery meteor pierced the darkness and fell straight towards it.
No, that's not an illusion......
The meteor is indeed descending, and the closer it gets to the chemical plant, the more gentle the slope of the flight becomes.
In the next second, the man only felt that his whole body was loose, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the impact of the collision made his whole person collapse to the ground like a shelf, while his eyes were staring at the fire meteor.
The orange-red flames faded, and he saw a burly man speeding towards him on a silver-gray skateboard, and as the two sides staggered past, the other glanced at him as if to confirm his safety.
It was a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, and the pupils were like blooming lotus flowers, surrounded by light golden ripples.
Farther on, a dark cyan streamer shot out behind the man, and the monsters that lingered in the shed roared wildly in the face of this attack, trying to make a strong stand for themselves and deter the sudden arrival of humans.
The result is just a pointless death throes.
Shuofeng Sword didn't give them a chance to exert their abilities at all, the dragon and tiger qi combined with the water spiritual power, the nearest alien insect was not to mention fighting back, in the face of the absolute crushing of the momentum, they didn't even have time to prepare for the offensive posture, they could only stay in place, allowing the sword to penetrate their heads, leaving one flesh and blood hole after another.
After many otherworldly events, Yan Jing's strength has reached a higher level, and these mass-produced alien insects cannot pose any threat to him at all.
At the same time, the insects, which were a little farther away, chose to evacuate almost immediately in the face of imminent danger.
They were different from the insects and beasts that Yan Jing had encountered in the Ruojiang Mountains, which were killing machines improvised by the hives that were created with the intention of dying together with the enemy, and the insects that appeared in the chemical factory at this time all had their own tasks.
If the other apostles were here, they might have to feel a headache for these insects that can both fly and become invisible, after all, it is not easy to intercept these insects by ordinary means.
It's a pity that they met Yan Jing.
The speed of the air-skimming far outstripped these insects, and the presence of Lu Wu's golden eyes was enough to ensure that any of their movements could not escape Yan Jing's eyes.
However, after killing a batch of alien insects one after another, Yan Jing suddenly withdrew his sword.
Two restraint talismans generated by the Taiqing Treasure Basket flew out, intercepting the only two remaining alien worms in mid-air.
Within the vision of the spiritual vision, the bodies of these two alien insects without exception had ingested a large amount of chemical raw materials, which made them look extremely bloated, and Yan Jing deliberately let them go in order to snatch back the raw materials.
The moment the insect landed, the tiger firefly, which had been guarding the side for a long time, rushed out, and several tentacles extended from their backs, piercing into their bodies.
On the way here, the question raised by Yu Zhen undoubtedly reminded Yan Jing.
Solving the strongholds in Shanqing University alone can only delay the progress of the hive's operation, and since they can control Professor He, they can naturally control the next Professor Xu and Professor Wu.
Ordinary people have no resistance to the invasion of alien insects.
If you want to curb the movement of insect nests in Sanqing City, you must find the nests where they hatch and even transform the insects!
