Chapter 24 Juvenile Body
The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the fishy stench made Zhou Wei, who had an overly keen sense of smell, extremely irritable.
He kicked over a dead bug monster and cursed: "It's so disgusting. It's evil enough to have flesh bugs in the corpse, but there are also such black hard-shelled bugs emerging from the holes. How many bugs are there!”
Feng Ling squatted down in front of a bug monster and took a serious look.
The front half of the torso of this big bug is like a centipede, with a pair of very strong and sharp jaw teeth, and a centipede-like blocky carapace. It does not have as many legs as a centipede, with a total of 12 legs in two rows.
The rear half of the torso drags a long and flat abdomen, which is slightly darker in color and has thin armor on the outside, which is relatively soft. There are also two small hooks at the abdomen and tail, which can help the insect body to be more stable when climbing the rock wall.
She had also seen this hook-like structure on white flesh worms.
Feng Ling thought about it and said: "The white ones are probably juveniles, and the blue-black ones with carapace growth are the adults after metamorphosis. I don't know how many there are in the cave. Hurry up. , you have to kill monsters when they are young, otherwise it will be very difficult when they grow up."< br>
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Huangfu Miaomiao's strange expression. Feng Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Huangfu Miaomiao Miao was startled and quickly shook her head, "Nothing, nothing!"
Huangfu Miaomiao was always nervous, and Feng Ling didn't think much about it. She turned around and asked Zhou Wei: "Vice Captain, what should we do now?"
"The juvenile body must be destroyed as soon as possible, but there are too many holes here. If you walk casually, you will definitely get lost." Zhou Wei stretched out his hand. Qin Liang dug around in his backpack and took out a black square box, complaining, "I didn't know the situation in the cave would be so complicated when I came down. Fortunately, Lao Su prepared this in advance."
"What is this?" Feng Ling asked curiously.
"The most advanced burrow detector."
Zhou Wei kicked away a few insect corpses, cleared a space, placed the black square box firmly on the ground, and then opened the lid.
Inside is a pull-out LCD screen, the size of an ordinary A4 paper, with complex buttons of different colors underneath.
"When scientists designed it, why didn't they design the operation method to be simpler?" Zhou Wei pressed a few times impatiently, but the instrument showed no response.
Qin Liang reminded in a low voice from the side: "You need to activate the small flying box below first."
Zhou Wei suddenly realized, slapped his forehead, and then performed another operation as fierce as a tiger.
A metal object with a diameter of less than 10cm popped out from inside the square box, resembling a ladybug.
There was a propeller at the bottom of this metal ladybug. After starting, it slowly took off into the air and flew not very high. It hovered buzzingly next to Feng Ling's knees.
Then the micro-scanner on the top fired a green laser and began to scan the cave in a circle.
"Okay." Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Qin Liang stared at the monitor, and the others continued to be vigilant."
Feng Ling leaned over and took a closer look, and the picture on the monitor was blurred. There are two, the upper half is a three-dimensional diagram of the interior of the cave, and the lower half is data flow information that she cannot understand.
Qin Liang specifically explained to her: "During the scanning process, the detector can record temperature, humidity and other data inside the environment in real time, and can also detect living organisms, helping users to understand the cave situation more comprehensively. ”
"High-end~" Feng Ling stood up and asked Zhou Wei, "How much does this thing cost?"
Zhou Wei snorted and glanced at her with pride, "It is not for sale within the Supervision Bureau, and there is no selling price."
Feng Ling was a little disappointed after hearing this.
In the past, she would never have had any idea about this kind of advanced high technology, but her savings had just exceeded one million, so it was inevitable that she would be easily tempted.
The ladybug detector flew farther and farther, randomly flew into a hole and disappeared. Only the image data on the monitor was continuously transmitted back.
"Deputy team, the ammunition has been used up more than half, do we need to return for supplies?" Xiao Li asked Zhou Wei for instructions.
Zhou Wei thought for a while and said: "When the detector drawing is completed, you can go back to the car to get supplies."
This operation of the special attack team was carried out lightly, and the ammunition they carried had just been Most of it has been consumed. If there is another insect attack, it is likely that we will face the dilemma of insufficient firepower.
After Zhou Wei considered this, he looked at the two men hiding in the corner and said to Xiao Li: "When you go out, take these two guys out by the way." Xiao Li responded: "Understood."
In the corner, Brother Chao's expression was gloomy, as if he wanted to say something.
Beside him, Fang Ye looked happy and grateful, obviously eager to leave here.
Brother Chao suddenly said sadly: "You can't go back."
Everyone looked over.
Zhou Wei directly ignored Brother Chao and asked Fang Ye: "What's going on with your buddy? Is he mentally a little abnormal?"
Fang Ye was embarrassed, his eyes were a little evasive, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at the crowd.
At this time, Brother Chao smiled ferociously again and said: "You are no match for it."
Zhou Wei laughed angrily at this Brother Chao, walked over and asked: "Really, then you Who is it in your mouth? You call it out and let’s compete?”
Brother Chao didn’t say anything, he just raised his head and looked up at the cave.
Seeing this, Zhou Wei also looked up suspiciously.
Although there were burning rods and other items to provide lighting, the top of the cave was still dark and unclear. Several dark cave entrances were distributed above everyone's heads, emitting a deep and strange aura.
Zhou Wei has killed many alien species, including contaminants, and he is somewhat unconvinced at this moment.
He heard the familiar sound of crawling insects and wanted to identify which cave entrance it came from, but here, each cave entrance was connected in series with each other, making it difficult to distinguish clearly.
He wanted to rely on his sense of smell again, but the cave was filled with a strong fishy smell and he could not smell other smells.
The sound is getting closer.
Chi la...
Chi la...
Everyone's heart was raised, they clenched their weapons, and stared at the holes with vigilance.
Finally, they saw a human face appearing in the largest hole—
A rotten and green human face.
It was so rotten that it was deformed, like a melted wax statue. The mouth was open, and even the teeth fell off and fell to the ground.
Brother Chao got excited when he saw it, and ran forward to express his loyalty: "I brought the people you want. Look, they all have cards! As long as you keep me, I can give you You bring more people!”
Pfft.
The human face fell off, and the head covered with rotten material rolled aside.
Brother Chao was knocked upside down and he was stunned with his head raised.
In his field of vision, huge jaws and teeth opened, like the claws of a claw machine falling from high altitude, suddenly approaching! It was instantly dark in front of my eyes!
Zhou Wei was shocked: "Shoot!"
The members of the special attack team shot quickly!
But the insect monster was so fast that it retracted into the hole the moment it bit Chao Brother's head, and all the bullets hit Chao Brother!
His body was hanging in the hole above. His body was bleeding from the bullet, and he fell down two seconds later.
The neck was completely broken, and a headless corpse fell to the ground spraying blood.
Brother Chao's voice echoed in the cave -
"Damn it...you killed...my children...ho chi...all...damn... …”
