I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 1280: Turbulent worms
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Facts have proved that Hong Zewei's choice is correct.
In the second week of the discovery of the Corruptor's Den at the 071 mine site, more than 500 star Marine Corps soldiers stationed nearby had to abandon the operation base and evacuate from the vicinity of the 071 mine site.
These bugs are clever, knowing that arching from the tunnel is equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the Marine Corps with their heads, so they use the devil to leave the tunnel, go around the side of the base of operations, and launch a surprise attack on the base.
If it was n’t for Expedition, who had been monitoring the vital signs in the area near the 071 mine site, when the insects crawled to a depth of five kilometers underground, they found that the situation was wrong, and informed the garrison in the base to withdraw the encirclement of the Corruptor. Maybe they will be caught by surprise.
Fortunately, these corroders were not as sensitive to the sound waves as the devil and the insects. Only 500 soldiers and the stationed engineering team withdrew from the operation base to the colony.
Also brought back to the base were specimens captured from the tunnel.
Although it was not easy, the soldiers of the Star Marines still managed to get a few.
In addition to more than a dozen specimens with intactness above 80%, they also got four larvae!
The four larvae are undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the Mars colony, where specimens are scarce.
Four corroding larvae are kept in different large glass covers and stored in separate isolation rooms.
Small only has the palm of an adult, the largest is almost equivalent to a washbasin. They are like scaled-down corroders, except they don't spit venom. Unlike the devil larvae, the small size does not weaken their aggressiveness, and even makes them more dangerous and deadly!
Researchers try to lock a bull and it into a glass cover at the same time. The result was that in less than a second, the bull was hugged by the decayed larvae and pierced his head with his tail. In the process of eating, the larvae of the Corruptor showed amazing digestion, and in three days, half of the cattle were chewed off.
In the past three days, its volume has almost doubled, from the size of the slap to a height of half a meter, and a small amount of corrosive acid can be sprayed from the mouth.
Following this trend, in the case of sufficient organic matter, I am afraid that it will grow to the size of those corrosive outside in less than half a month.
"Twenty can be born in one child, each as big as a washbasin ... God, can you imagine? This thing can grow to such a large size in adulthood!" gestured with open hands A large volume in total, the researchers in white coats kept shaking their heads, "The experimental environment here is too simple, we must immediately send the specimens back to the Star City for research."
"How long do they take to become adults?" Hong Zewei frowned as he looked at the restless little guy in the glass cover.
"I do n’t know," the researcher shook his head and looked at the bull bone in the glass cover. "This ca n’t be used as a reference. There should n’t be such rich organic matter in the ground for them to develop. Sample No. 3 consumes oxygen-producing bacteria The growth rate is about one tenth of it. "
"How many bugs are hidden in this **** desert." Hong Zewei scolded fiercely.
"I don't know if you noticed it," the researcher said after a moment of contemplation. "Every time we encounter new trouble, it is because of the 071 mine point ... I am curious, what is under the 071 mine point? What is buried. "
Hong Zewei froze a little, then frowned, and fell into contemplation.
However, at this moment, an alarm sounded on the wall, interrupting his contemplation.
Just looking up at the broadcast on the wall, Hong Zewei rushed towards the entrance of the institute.
......
The alarm sounded in the colony cabin, and the entire colony boiled.
At this moment, the Star Marines demonstrated their combat literacy. In less than half a minute, the dressed soldiers rushed into the front door from the corridor, opened the storage box, took out his equipment and hung it on the exoskeleton on.
The magazine was inserted, and Zhang Hai loaded the Gauss rifle in his hand.
"What happened outside?" The white woman with the wavy curl came forward, trying to stop Zhang Hai, and asked in crappy Chinese, "There are other things besides the devil worms outside, right? Or you guys? Will not build a fence ... "
"No comment." Zhang Hai replied coldly, Zhang Hai buckled up the last button of the tactical helmet, pushed his hand away from the American, and ran towards the buffer cabin with his rifle.
The woman wanted to say something, but was caught by Bress standing next to him.
"Enough is enough, Jenny, calm down first." Looking at his teammates, Blaise shook his head.
"But ..." Jenny looked at the captain anxiously, "They must be hiding something from us! I had this hunch when they built the wall, now-"
"Yes, they have something to hide from us," Blaise shook his head, with a little helplessness and self-deprecation in his smile, "Don't forget that we are now under the fence, if you continue to pull their roots to find out, Maybe we have to be deprived of the right to call home every month. "
The white woman named Jenny immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking. She looked at Brace stiffly, and then nodded her head for a while, her expression lowered her eyes slightly and said.
"I understand."
"Just understand." Blaise said lightly, looking at the soldiers' backs.
He now only hopes to return home safely.
Hopefully, the troubles of the star ring trade will not affect them as "poor people".
......
Outside the colony, the Corruptors rushed out of the tunnel behind the sand dunes one after another and rushed up to the colony ’s walls, forming a black tide of worms.
Zhang Hai's forefoot just stepped on the alloy floor outside the colony cabin, and the commander's voice rang in his ears.
"Insect tide is approaching, immediately take your people to the wall!"
"Received," looking at the coordinates of the defense zone sent to the holographic map, Zhang Hai stretched his hand on the helmet, and switched to the squad channel. "All staffs pay attention, immediately go to the fenced defense zone. Open the insurance and open fire!"
"Received!"
The infantry chariot rushed up the walled shooting platform from the slope, and the muzzle at the top was aimed at the insects that were flooding like tide, venting the raging fire.
After rushing to the fence, Zhang Hai made a gesture to the comrade-in-arms next to him, then leaned his body behind the corrosion-resistant alloy plate that served as a bunker, and protruded the rifle from the back of the bunker and fired back.
These bugs are smart, at least the brain is more flexible than the devil bug.
The formation of their charge is very loose, and they are surrounded by waves, which effectively reduces the hit rate of the Star Ring Marine rifle and machine gun fire. While charging, some insects were responsible for spitting out the acid, and the other part of the insects tacitly buried under the cover of the acid.
Sometimes soldiers are covered in acid, and they can only be pulled to a safe place by medical soldiers for treatment.
Hiding his head away from a string of acid shots, Zhang Hai gritted his teeth and lifted his rifle, gave the last few bullets in the magazine to the annoying bug, and took it from the comrade beside him Insert the rifle.
Looking at the surging wave of insects behind the sand dunes, his brows twisted together and he whispered in a low voice.
"Chat, where did these bugs come from ..."
I do n’t know if it ’s his illusion, he feels as though they have an eye on them.
Every time they make a little progress on 071, they will have trouble finding their way.
Coincidence?
He does n’t think so.
