Four hundred and eighteenth chapter chrysanthemum worm
Spring City belongs to the Southwest Plateau, surrounded by mountains and inconvenient transportation. During the hundred years of peace before the Third World War, a series of road infrastructures were finally built. However, after the war, abnormalities were rampant and large areas became no-man's land. It has been almost completely destroyed.
, only vague traces can be seen in the grass, rocks, and collapsed mountain ruins.
In this kind of territory, maglev cars in cities are of little practical use, and aerospace vehicles such as shuttles also face the impact of flying aberrations, and there is always the possibility of crashing into a mountain. Therefore, here
Most people who make a living on the side still choose traditional, solid off-road vehicles, which can cope with most situations with some auxiliary modules such as maglev plug-ins.
At this time, on the gentle slope of a certain mountain peak, a small convoy of three off-road vehicles and about ten people were carefully arranging instruments and equipment to monitor the surrounding environment.
The leading man was tall and stout, with a slim cut, wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket and trousers, and he was quite tough. But at the same time, he was also an expert in controlling instruments and equipment. He commanded the crowd and asked his companions to be in various positions.
When installing equipment, every instruction was clear and clear, and the scene was busy but not chaotic.
Some people were willing to play the role of lackeys, and repeatedly praised: "As expected of the field troops, with Brother Bao here, we can be targeted!"
"Shut up...what sound?"
"ah?"
Brother Bao frowned and listened. After a few seconds, his face became even more ugly: "Who are you stupid! Didn't you see the ground dragon logo? I always use the maglev module to move here little by little.
of……"
At this time, many people present had already heard the trembling sound of the motor and engine. Of course, the most piercing sound was the friction and impact of the car body and the bad road surface.
"The direction to the southwest is not from the city."
The person in charge of remote monitoring raised his hand to inform. Brother Bao heard this and moved over. Through the monitoring equipment, he saw an earth dragon rolling in, returning from the southwest wilderness.
It is the dry season that has not happened in many years around Spring City. The dust, sand and grass are flying, so it is difficult to see clearly. I can only tell that it does not look like a large vehicle.
"It doesn't look like a long-distance passenger."
"Perhaps someone from one of the teams has temporarily returned to the city for work?"
While talking, the surveillance equipment finally captured some details. It was a small off-road motorcycle, alone.
Brother Bao cursed in a low voice: "Send him a signal. If you want to survive, take a detour and hit your head with a hammer. Even if you survive, we will have to compensate for our losses."
The dog-legged man lost no time and praised again: "Brother Bao is very particular. If you want me, I will just ask him to add food to the ground dragon."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Send the signal quickly... Ouch!"
Brother Bao screamed, and on the front line, in front of the rolling earth dragon in the surveillance picture, the dry and hard ground suddenly exploded, and a large pit with a diameter of more than three meters appeared. The splashing earth and rocks made a sizzling sound, which was even more terrifying.
What's more, in the depths of the huge pit, there seems to be a strange giant flower blooming. It is made up of dozens or hundreds of slender tentacles. A light blue mist is sprayed out from the center, and the soil is covered in the blink of an eye.
The off-road motorcycle at the forefront of the dragon was swallowed up.
"Shit ground dragon, this is a chrysanthemum bug!"
Brother Bao's face turned green, he pulled up the terrain map, looked at it again, and gave himself a slap in the face: "I'm so stupid, there is obviously an underground river! Isn't this the favorite place of the chrysanthemum bug?
?This is a trap, retreat quickly!"
He suddenly raised his voice: "Lao Wu reported to the branch and notified the city defense army... everyone evacuates immediately!"
Chrysanthemum bug is one of the most famous B-level aberrations in the area around Spring City, with a threat level of "B-". It lives underground all year round, has a very high IQ, and can simulate several low-level monsters such as ground dragons.
The abnormal sounds and secretions lure other predators, including those with human abilities, to take the bait, and then kill and devour them.
If this type of aberration is too close to the city, it may pass through the sewage pipes, break through the city defenses, and cause great turmoil. Therefore, in the city defense system, this guy is always at the forefront of the target to be killed.
It's definitely too late to consider these things now. Brother Bao doesn't care about "being particular". Judging from the direction in which the chrysanthemum evil insect appears, their hunting team has simply walked away from the gate of hell. If it hadn't been for the motorcyclist who pawned the incense first.
Bait, in a few minutes, their little team will be stuffed and swallowed.
"Um, I'll collect your body later... and give it a generous burial!"
"Brother Bao is benevolent and righteous!"
With a slap on the head of the dog leg, Brother Bao roared and told his brothers to run back: "Get away, get rid of all the instruments. The radius of the chrysanthemum insect's hunting area is fifty kilometers. If you run slowly, you have to wait.
Let’s be digested!”
More than a dozen members of the hunting team swarmed into three off-road vehicles. At this time, it was impossible to use the slow-speed maglev plug-in. Instead, they turned on their full power and drove down the rugged mountain road.
The car that Brother Bao was in was delayed, and it felt like it was about to overturn several times. He relied on years of honed driving skills and the intelligent system to forcefully correct the deviation. Across the mountain, a muffled sound and a sizzling sound sounded from the opposite side, which made
The "sizzling" sound that makes people's scalp numb is undoubtedly the sound of chrysanthemum insects. As for the popping sound...
"The motorcycle exploded."
Brother Bao turned his head and looked back. The mountain seemed to light up, much like the afterglow of a thermal weapon.
Tragic, really miserable!
Every year in Spring City, there are about a thousand "wilderness death indicators" for people, and there are also capable people who fill them in. Now there is another one.
Brother Bao remembered another thing: "Pay attention to the bottom of the car and refer to the terrain map to avoid underground rivers. The chrysanthemum insects pass through the water at a speed no slower than the car, and they can also spray poisonous mist..."
While he was shouting, the dogleg next to him screamed: "Insects are coming from above!"
Brother Bao turned around in shock, and saw dozens of slender tentacles flying above the mountain, occasionally crossing the mountain barrier, undulating. This was not a normal path, but the momentum was even more terrifying.
Brother Bao cursed loudly, but had no other choice but to yell: "Speed up, speed up!"
The driver of the off-road vehicle he was on was an experienced veteran. He could infer the approximate speed of the pursuers from behind just by visual inspection. He howled in despair: "The speed over there is at least 200 kilometers per hour. This is unreasonable!
"
"What a nonsense!"
Brother Bao yelled back, if the chrysanthemum bug can run at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour on the ground, its threat level is definitely not B-. Even if the branch and the city defense army are deployed in full force, they will kill these perverted aberrants.
It’s right to kill them all!
Trivial thoughts that were not helpful to the current situation flashed through Brother Bao's mind, but when he turned to look at the flying tentacles, his mind was already blank.
At this moment, there was a loud bang in front of me, and the off-road vehicle at the end could not withstand the test of speeding and racing on the rugged mountain road. It completely turned over. If it weren't for the high-priced off-road vehicle with relatively strong skin, the people in the car were agile and intelligent.
After barely correcting his posture, he fell straight down the cliff, resulting in a tragic car crash and death.
But in this case, the traffic in front was blocked by the traffic behind them on the narrow mountain road, and any retreat became a joke. At the same time, an even bigger tragedy had clearly caught up with them.
Brother Bao's brain exploded. He pressed down on the stupid words "rush over", but a certain thought came out:
I can't embarrass Captain Qiu!
The next second, he yelled "Help!". The two off-road vehicles behind him braked urgently. Brother Bao didn't wait for the vehicle to stop, then he jumped off, pulled several companions who had just climbed up from the ground, and used brute force to turn the vehicle over.
The fallen ones were forcibly righted off-road. The injured persons with inconvenient legs and feet were asked to sit in other vehicles first:
"The car behind passed quickly...start the engine so quickly, start the engine!"
The driver of the car in front was a little confused and didn't know to check the condition of the car immediately. Brother Bao was so numb that he rushed over, pushed him away, and forced the engine to start.
Thank God, Xie Anzu, there is no problem with the high-power modified motor for off-road use, and there is no problem with the instantaneous self-check of the intelligent system.
At this time, the two cars that passed quickly had already run several hundred meters away. When Brother Bao turned around, the flying tentacles of the chrysanthemum bug completely crossed the top of the mountain and ran over to this side.
"Hurry up!"
Brother Bao directly grabbed the driver's seat and called everyone to get in the car. Before they could sit firmly, he stepped on the accelerator. The car roared forward, but he only managed to get about ten meters away. The wind was howling above him and the tentacles were swaying.
Riding on the wind, it even hit the damaged windshield...
The next second, the chrysanthemum insect weighed at least two tons and hit the ground twenty meters in front of it. The off-road vehicle braked suddenly, but it still couldn't stop and hit it heavily. Fortunately, the huge one in front
It was a mixture of flesh and whiskers and lacked hardness. The off-road vehicle seemed to have hit a sponge and did not cause a more serious car accident.
"Reverse, reverse quickly!"
The original driver sitting in the passenger seat screamed like crazy. Brother Bao had already shifted to reverse gear but did not press the accelerator again.
The chrysanthemum insect in front is lying on the ground, its limbs and tentacles are still twitching, and it also has a slight meaty smell. The smell molecules penetrate the damaged windshield and blow over together with the dry mountain wind - such an appearance, except for the size
Other than that, it looks more like a half-roasted sea anemone.
Brother Bao stared at the huge piece of meat in front of him without blinking.
At this time, the roar of the rear motor sounded, belonging to a certain off-road motorcycle. A few seconds later, the other party stopped steadily on the side of the off-road vehicle, and the cold metallic luster pierced the eyes.
Brother Bao, who had just retired from the army, could naturally tell at a glance that it was a set of exoskeleton armor. In terms of model... how come it looked more like a "Sergeant X-2" anthropomorphic robot?
Modified goods?
The metal armor covered the opponent's face and figure. Brother Bao couldn't guess where he was coming from, so he could only follow the simplest thinking: "Are you... a soldier?"
There was no response from the other side.
Brother Bao asked stupidly again: "What can I do for you?"
Behind the metal visor, a buzzing voice finally came out: "Help me."
"Hey, tell me." Brother Bao's mind finally came around. He killed the chrysanthemum bug alone. He must be a B-level strongman. There are not more than ten such people in Spring City, so he must be respected.
"Jacket, and pants."
"Gah?"
"By the way, use your sunglasses too."
Half a minute later, Brother Bao obediently handed over his entire outfit.
The motorcyclist nodded and pointed at the chrysanthemum insect in front of him: "This is for you to deal with."
As he said that, he gave Brother Bao a thumbs up again, probably to express his gratitude. Amidst the roar, the off-road motorcycle sped away on the mountain road.
Brother Bao, and a whole car of people were stunned.
A few minutes later, a stupid call came in: "Brother Bao, Brother Bao, why are you driving that motorcycle?"
