Chapter 124: The Life and Death Scene of the Food Chain
The blue-green sharp-billed insects with huge bellies dragged slowly through the flying black clouds like dark green waves.
Then the black clouds shrank and shrunk, and finally they were completely replaced by the green of the mountains.
Leaving a blue-gray shell where they passed, the insects had grown two or three times larger than they had been at the beginning, and now looked the size of an adult ostrich.
The elongated, pointed beak like an awl pecks precisely at the neck of the black bug, and the long beak twists the entire head off with a slight fold, and then the tongue inside gently curls the rest of the body into the abdomen.
They are constantly eating, shedding their shells, and growing......
And after they passed, another group of beetles that looked like giant shells came out of the ground.
They were two or three feet tall and pressed close to the ground, their thick dorsal wings draped over them like hemispherical armor.
They crawled slowly but very quickly, sticking their heads out and biting down on the turquoise bugs with their large mouths that looked like jagged semi-sharp teeth, tearing open their large bellies. So the sticky stuff full of nutrients slipped out of the gap.
Then the beetles stretched out a straw from their jaws, poked into the sticky, sucked on it, and ate it completely in a few moments.
By the time the green worm came back to his senses, his bulging stomach had dried up, and even the nutrients from the food he had just eaten had flowed out at all.
It turned its head and pecked at the abominable robber, but its long beak slashed straight over the hard, slippery back.
And the beetle ignored it and rushed straight to the next bug... As for the disemboweled, their mobility is gradually decreasing, and they no longer pose any threat to the beetles, and the only thing they can do now is to continue to eat in order to barely maintain their vitality......
After devouring a sufficient number of turquoise bugs, the black beetles also began to shed their shells and became larger...
Then at this moment, there was a piercing chirp in the sky, and then flying monsters like dinosaur birds from ancient times flew in the sky.
They also have long beaks like birds, but both halves of their beaks are covered with triangular serrated teeth.
They fall directly into this feast where a hearty meal has just been born, and become the new masters at the top of the food chain.
They gently peck and bite a beetle that has just come out of its shell, the carapace that has not yet hardened is soft, with the milky fragrance of the newborn, one bite at a time, and the juice flows in the mouth with a light bite.
These giant birds frantically ate and then turned their bodies from light to dark, and their wings grew sharp claws......
………… Mi Ajiu and the others, who were trapped in the cave, watched the survival of the fittest drama staged outside through the small window, refreshing their cognition of this incomparably familiar world over and over again.
A voice kept ringing in their heads: these giant bugs, these strange big birds, where did they come from?
Did you live underground all along?
Indeed, less than one-tenth of human activity in this world, let alone the underworld.
Or did these powerful species evolve after the end of the world?
Although people are suspicious, it does not prevent them from acting.
Grab some carefully and come back to study them to see their means of attack, defenses, Achilles' heels, and more.
In fact, in this round of "big fish eat small fish" drama one after another, everyone found that only the lowest insects can still deal with one or two. But just now, they were also pressed by these lowest-level insects, and they didn't dare to take their heads.
As for the blue-green worm like a mutant mantis, except for its slender mouth, it can pierce a person into a bloody hole with just a peck. There are also very agile feet of dissatisfied barbs, which can rip off a piece of flesh with just a slight touch.
The point is that their bodies have smooth shells, and ordinary knives can't cut at all, or just slide away, unless the blade is sharp enough and powerful enough.
Of course, people still found their weakness: the stomach.
The beetle seemed to put all the points on defense, and the hard back shell was hard for even bullets to penetrate, but it was better to deal with than the green bug. As long as you suppress it, you can stab the poisonous needle that you collected from the black bug through the crack, and in a few moments, it will turn into a puddle of water.
And those big birds that came out at the end...
After everyone worked together to sneak attack a big bird and conduct an all-round test, they found that this guy's weakness is that he has no weakness.
Anyway, they don't have the slightest chance of winning, at least with their current strength and the means they have.
Team He looked at the sky, and after rounds of life and death scenes, the sky was exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and it was finally going to light up.
He said: "Whether we can successfully return to base depends on today... Wait for this wave of big birds to pass and see if there is a chance..."
Everyone didn't rest all night, either expanding the space or collecting poisonous needles and catching insects for experiments, to see if the strength of themselves and others had a chance of winning if they were tough with these insects.
Team He's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse.
He contacted the base a few more times, and it seemed that the situation at the base was not good.
They easily withstood the previous rounds of insect waves, but the big bird launched several attacks on them, and although they did not cause many substantial casualties, they caused many people to riot out of panic and despair.
These people are gathered from all over the place, they have experienced life and death again and again in the city where they originally lived, and they were finally transferred to the base, thinking that they were finally safe and stable, but they didn't expect such a terrifying insect tide to appear again, and many of them felt that they would definitely not survive this round......
Fortunately, they were all appeased in the end.
Miajiu was still fighting the big birds outside, and at first she didn't know how to start, but after an hour or two of fighting, she gradually mastered the method and found the opponent's weak point - wings.
The wings of this big bird were not ordinary feathers, but bat-like flesh membranes, and with the strength of Miajiu, it was easy to tear a hole in them.
And when it flapps its wings again, it will not be able to fly or lose its balance.
Mi Ajiu killed the big birds that attacked the car, and there were more than a dozen large bird corpses piled up next to him.
Zizi ......
Team He is gathering everyone to hurry up and replenish some energy, and they are ready to go at any time.
At this moment, the communicator connecting with the base suddenly rang.
Team He hurriedly connected.
"What? Has the movement of the earth's crust begun? Good... Good! ”
Team He's expression was solemn, even with an inexplicable tragedy: "The earth's crust movement is ahead of schedule, rolling inland from the coastline...... Let's go now! ”
