Chapter 34 The Shepherd

Seeing Xiao Hei approaching the cemetery step by step, Qin Hao was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to call out to Xiao Hei, because Xiao Hei was hypnotized at this time, and it would be useless for him to shout.

Expose yourself.

Although Qin Hao has been strengthened by insect blood, he is very self-aware. He is definitely no match for the silver-horned giant beetle, let alone there is more than one silver-horned giant beetle in the cemetery!

"Damn! What to do! What to do!" Qin Hao was anxious, but Xiao Hei had already walked to the side of the giant silver-horned beetle.

For a moment, Qin Hao's heart was in his throat, but the next scene left him stunned.

"Pa!" The giant silver-horned beetle did not eat Xiao Hei like it did other creatures. Instead, it impatiently swept Xiao Hei with its front legs and pulled Xiao Hei aside. As for Xiao Hei, he was minding his own business.

They ate the leftovers that fell from the mouth of the giant silver-horned beetle.

"What's going on?" Qin Hao was stunned. He didn't know whether Xiao Hei came under hypnosis or was summoned by the Zerg to eat. The scenes in front of him were all too weird.

In fact, Qin Hao was overthinking. Xiao Hei had nothing to do with these giant beetles, and no one called him over to eat. He was really hypnotized, but the problem was that Xiao Hei's physiological structure was too weird, and he was different from ordinary creatures.

So different.

Xiao Hei's whole body is covered with an extremely hard black chitin shell, and this chitin shell is very thick. After deducting this layer of shell, Xiao Hei actually has no flesh, which makes the silver-horned giant beetle see it.

I really have no appetite.

You must know that even a giant silver-horned beetle would have to spend a lot of effort to break through Xiao Hei's black chitin shell, but in the end it would not be able to eat half a mouthful of meat. When there is plenty of food, I am afraid no one can

I won't waste my energy trying to eat Xiao Hei.

So the silver-horned giant beetle impatiently pulled Xiao Hei aside, and then ate big mouthfuls of the creatures that were attracted by the sound waves.

What Qin Hao didn't even know was that the bug that looked like a brain with legs was called a herder among the Zerg tribe. Its purpose was to help high-level giant beetles obtain food. The herder could emit a low-frequency signal mixed with brain waves.

The sound can hypnotize most animals, causing them to be attracted to the herder in a dazed state.

At this time, a large number of high-level giant beetles are ready to eat. The creatures that have been lured are all hypnotized. They cannot feel pain and will not wake up even if they are bitten. Therefore, the giant beetles do not have to worry about the food being eaten.

If they resist, they can eat with confidence.

The Coles Valley is very close to the giant beetle's nest. Herders often choose a certain area to display their abilities, attracting a large number of creatures to feed the high-level giant beetles.

Therefore, it was a very wrong decision for humans to choose this place as their base. After being hypnotized, the more than 20,000 soldiers sent themselves to the mouth of the giant beetle in a daze, and then the entire army was annihilated.

The giant beetles had a huge appetite, and countless creatures died in their mouths. It was not known how long it took, but Qin Hao noticed that fish belly white appeared on the horizon. At this time, the herders stopped luring the surrounding animals, and the silver beetles

The giant horned beetles also slowly dispersed.

After another ten minutes, Xiao Hei woke up from the hypnosis. He looked around blankly, as if he couldn't remember why he was here.

Then Xiao Hei raised his head and sniffed, then turned his head sharply and looked directly at Qin Hao's position. Obviously, he found Qin Hao!

Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, the giant beetles didn't have that amazing sense of smell, and they didn't bring any bugs that were specifically responsible for searching for smells when they came out to eat. Otherwise, Qin Hao would have been discovered.

Xiao Hei found Qin Hao and immediately ran towards him. Qin Hao turned over and rode on Xiao Hei's back, and then the two of them galloped towards the base.

The journey of more than ten miles was reached in a short time at Xiao Hei's feet. Qin Hao and Xiao Hei followed the crack in the wall and got back to the base.

"Help..."

"Qin Hao...where are you?"

"Qin Hao..."

As soon as he returned to the base, Qin Hao heard Lucia's cry for help. Apparently, Lucia also woke up from the hypnotic state.

After running a few steps, Qin Hao arrived at the door of the command center, then he opened the door and entered the command center.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you, Qin Hao..." Lucia burst into tears after seeing Qin Hao.

"What happened last night? Why were we tied up?" Pang Meng was still relatively calm. As a scientist, he was very rational. He knew that he and Lucia must not have encountered the Zerg, because it was impossible for the Zerg to kill them.

Tied up.

"You were hypnotized last night..." Qin Hao untied the ropes for the two of them and described what happened last night to them.

"So, all the defenders here were killed?" Pang Meng took a breath of cold air.

"I'm afraid that's the case!" Qin Hao said.

"I will contact the fleet now!" Pang Meng ran to the communication station after Qin Hao untied the rope.

Just when Pang Meng contacted the fleet, Qin Hao was also comforting Lucia. The girl was obviously frightened.

"Okay, okay, everything's okay!" Qin Hao patted Lucia's little head gently.

"I'm so scared, I want to go back to the battleship..." Lucia lay in Qin Hao's arms and cried loudly.

"Qin Hao, have you recorded what happened last night?" At this time, Pang Meng had reestablished contact with the fleet.

"Let me take a look!" The battlefield recorder Qin Hao was wearing at this time was intact and should be able to record images.

However, after turning on the replay function, Qin Hao frowned. The battlefield recorder clearly recorded Pang Meng and Lucia's anomalies, as well as Xiao Hei's various weird behaviors, but there was something about the silver-horned giant beetle that looked like

The monster insect with long legs and a brain looks very blurry on the battlefield recorder, with only some vague dark shadows.

After all, the battlefield recorder does not have Qin Hao's amazing night vision capabilities and the function of a low-power telescope. Last night, Qin Hao did not dare to get too close to the Silver-horned Giant Beetle. He was afraid of being discovered by the Zerg, so he was still five kilometers away from the cemetery.

When he reached the scene, he stopped. At such a long distance, the battlefield recorder could not take clear pictures at all.

"Something is better than nothing!" Pang Meng nodded. He needed these precious data, because if humans want to defeat the Zerg on Alpha Planet, they must first understand them, otherwise they will always be like the defenders of Coles Heights.

I still suffer from this kind of boring loss.

"Have you contacted the fleet?" Qin Hao asked.

"Well, they originally wanted to send a landing ship to pick us up last night, but the signal was blocked midway, so they couldn't make it. Now that we have reestablished contact, they guarantee that the transport ship will arrive within half an hour!" Pang Meng said.
