I stammered, "What the hell is this?" At this moment, my whole body was covered in cold sweat. I can imagine that my face must have been extremely bad.
“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not a good thing.” Mr. Mai said next to me.
The three of us slowly retreated step by step, and these bugs crawled forward bit by bit. Except for the back, the road in front was completely occupied by these strange red bugs, and there was almost no trace of them. Chu Ke ran away.
At this time, Jenny and Li Xin also rushed over, but when they saw this scene, they all took a breath, and the faces of Jenny and Li Xin changed instantly. They were pale and pale, "What on earth is this?" The trembling voice proved that they were frightened.
"My mother, what is this? Lao Wang... is he dead?" The big man was so frightened that he roared next to him, and the man almost burst into laughter.
I said without looking back, "Don't ask any questions, leave here first."
Due to the big man's shout, the bugs seemed to be very excited and crawled faster than before. We A few of them hurriedly retreated. If the stalemate continues, sooner or later we will all follow in Lao Wang's footsteps.
I glanced at the raft on the shore and said, "We have to find a way to escape to the raft, otherwise we will all die here."
Mai Lao said as he backed away, " I have thought of it a long time ago, but it is impossible to get through it at all. The entire shore is covered with these insects. You don’t want to live anymore.”
“What should we do? Mr. Mai, please think of a solution quickly?” Jenny was so anxious that she almost cried. Jenny is good at everything. At this critical moment, I ran out of ideas and had no idea what to do. I had to rely on Mr. Mai for support.
"Don't rush us. Aren't we thinking of a solution?" Mr. Mai and I were guarding them from the front. What should we do? I was almost going crazy with anxiety.
At this moment, these strange insects seemed to be impatient, and suddenly crawled towards us quickly. They were like ocean waves, surrounding us in an instant.
When I saw something bad, I quickly shouted, "Run."
A few of us turned around and started running away, but because the incident happened so quickly, none of Jenny could She accidentally fell down, and those red bugs were about to crawl onto her body. If she was buried alive by them, even the gods would not be able to save her.
***, this is really life-threatening. I gritted my teeth, turned around and ran back. I rushed to Jenny and pulled her up. Fortunately, I was fast enough. He barely escaped, but even so, there were still a few red bugs crawling on Jenny's calves.
She sat on the ground, yelling, and kept slapping her calves with both hands, but as soon as those bugs fell off, they crawled towards her again. I walked over quickly and beat these bugs away with just a few feet. Insects trampled into pieces.
I stretched out my hand to pick up Jenny, pulled her directly behind me, and yelled, "Run away."
Because at this time I saw that A large swarm of red bugs had already surrounded me, right under my feet. Between her and me, maybe only one person could leave alive. I did this just out of instinct, not because of anything else.
Just when the group of insects crawled onto me, several torches suddenly flew over and landed directly in front of me. As soon as the group of red monsters saw the light of the fire, they all rushed towards me. They retreated, as if there was a fire, they did not dare to approach.
Although the group of strange insects retreated, they never left. They just did not dare to get too close to the fire source. They were wandering back and forth around the torch. Several insects bypassed the torch and ran directly towards it. I climbed over quickly.
There were several muffled sounds of "papapapa", and all these bugs were crushed to death under their feet. At this time, Jiao Ba, Mai Lao and others rushed over with torches in hand. Seven or eight people surrounded Jenny and me in the middle. Everyone should hold at least one torch in their hand.
Jiao Badeng simply took it with both hands. I grabbed a torch on the ground and rolled it along my thigh to start burning. I didn’t want to ****, but to use fire, okay Burn the bugs off of me.
I gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain of the fire, which burned from my legs to my body, but this trick really worked. As soon as those strange insects encountered the fire, they all fell off my body, and I quickly got up. , and stepped on all the bugs that almost killed me one by one.
All of this happened so fast, it could be said to be like lightning. From the time I started saving Jenny to the time Jiao Ba and the others rushed over, it only took a few seconds, but I felt It seems like a century has passed.
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said nervously, "How are you, brother? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Jenny, how are you?" I pulled Jenny up and looked at her.
"It's okay." She was strong. Although her fearful face and trembling voice had betrayed her, she did not shed a single tear because of fear.
I looked around carefully, and now it’s even worse than before. These strange red bugs have surrounded us from all directions. Currently, only the bugs in the back are slightly less, and there are a few of us in the middle. , formed a small circle, making the final struggle close to the torch.
"Brother Yi, please think of a way quickly. The stalemate won't last long if this continues." Jiao Ba turned around and shouted. He put the torch very low and kept facing the insects around him.
The same goes for everyone else. The torches have to be fired back and forth, otherwise these bugs will attack you directly, but the torches can only temporarily resist them. Once the fire is out, we will have to explain everything.
Although these bugs are afraid of fire, they are very smart and will try to find places to avoid the source of fire. This is because we have formed a circle, otherwise the bugs behind us can kill us.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking." I was spinning around in anxiety, and the hand holding the torch trembled.
"Just blow them up with grenades." The big man yelled.
“No, the raft is too far away from us. As long as the grenade can blow up, it will blow up the raft and it will be all over.”
It’s not that I haven’t thought about using grenades, but this is simply not feasible. , The raft is surrounded by these strange red insects. If you want to rush over safely, these eight grenades are simply not enough.
Moreover, grenades can only be thrown far away. The insects under our feet can still kill us, and we have to take the opportunity to avoid the lethality of the grenades. These two fatal points seal everything. This is worse than gambling with our lives. Dangerous, almost no chance of success.
Li Xin suddenly said calmly at this time, "Hide in the jungle. This is the only thing we can do. We can't get through the raft, the distance is too far."
Li Xin's words are right. The distance from here to the raft is much farther than the jungle behind. We can't get through it with just this torch. Once we disperse and give these strange insects a chance, we will all be dead. live.
"Yi Ge, Mai Lao, you two should make a decision quickly?" Shunzi was also a little panicked. The insects were getting closer to us because the torch was almost burned out.
Me and Mr. Mai looked at each other, he nodded, and I said to the others, "I will count to three, and we will throw the torch backward at the same time. Remember, never from top to bottom." Throw it as low as possible, sweep it across, and then we will run directly along the torch.”
Throwing it from top to bottom, it will take a certain amount of time for the torch to fall. By then we will be besieged by the insects, but if we sweep it close to the ground, we will have enough time to escape along the torch.
Everyone nodded nervously, and I counted softly, "One, two, three."
When I counted to three, I turned around, bowed, and threw the torch fiercely. He turned to the back, then grabbed Jenny's arm, and started running away. The others were also very fast, and the torches swept over them all.
When the torch flew along the ground, the red monsters immediately dispersed, leaving a trail for us, and a group of us rushed into the jungle.
While running, when passing by the fire, I pulled out a torch, and then I handed Jenny directly into Mr. Mai's hands, "Take her away."
At this critical moment, people are needed to come to the rear. Shunzi and Changshan actually stayed. The three of us took torches and threw a few more forward. In this way, there was room for others. More time to escape.
Mai Lao, Jiao Ba and others had already ran into the jungle. Shunzi shouted to me, "Brother Yi, let's retreat too."
Chang Shan also shouted, " Let’s go quickly.”
Just when the three of us were finally ready to escape, I simply kicked the fire all over. They were kicked away and yelled, "I'll fucking burn you to death." When the fire dispersed, some strange insects were indeed burned to death. Taking advantage of the chaotic moment, the three of us turned around and headed towards the jungle. He ran around, running almost as fast as he could, without even daring to look back.
