Today's sun is only a vague shape blocked by haze, and the outdoor visibility is really not that good. The reason why the sky looks brighter is because of the reflection from the snow on the ground.
Miao Pu didn't know why these monsters didn't just pounce out if they had such a strong desire for fresh flesh and blood. They should be able to withstand such weather. It couldn't be that the dark chasers only recognize the time and don't distinguish the intensity of the sun.
.
So what stopped them from moving forward? Miao Pu thought for a long time, but could not think of a suitable answer.
"Woo..." The cat nestled in the rattan barrel behind Miao Pu woke up and called out as usual, which meant that I was hungry.
The effect of this small, kitten-like call was extremely shocking to Miao Pu. For a moment, the shadow chasers hiding in various places were suddenly frightened, and they dispersed and hid far away.
Open. In this way, Miao Pu also discovered that the Dark Chasers had no source of attack. It seemed that the name of the Energy Devourers was indeed worthy of their reputation. They were indeed born with the ability to restrain the creatures of the original civilization, such as cats and
mouse.
Miao Pu, who felt this scene, suddenly felt slightly better.
Because when energy is tight for personal use, it is very depressing to have to feed a cat, a foodie, but if you can bring this thing with you, it will be good.
To be honest, he is tired of fighting now, especially fighting ordinary cannon fodder monsters. He is not interested anymore.
Qian Lihang, who was walking on the left side of Miao Pu, glanced at Miao Pu. He heard the cat meowing from the basket. He thought to himself: "How painful it is to go on a mission and carry...
pet?"
After entering the city and marching for more than ten minutes, not a single incident occurred, which made Kang Danian and the others even more vigilant.
Everyone looked nervous, and the standard tactical actions were rigorously implemented. They crouched down and took turns covering...
Miao Pu, who knew the truth, had no way to explain the real reason, so he could only participate in it. To be honest, it felt a bit weird, as if he was filming a movie for a show.
Of course, this studio or stage is really awesome. For any apocalyptic movie, if you can shoot it here, the background alone will be a big plus.
After several months of neglect, the city's popularity has completely dropped to negative numbers. There are piles of feces everywhere, weeds growing everywhere, and dilapidation that is not very eye-catching but can be seen everywhere... The combination of these scenes creates a bleak atmosphere.
.And the dead silence of the entire city creates a feeling called emptiness, which weighs heavily on the hearts of everyone who enters.
The familiar street scene has lost its vivid colors in the past, and is only deserted and cold. Now the owners here are monsters. Behind the doors and windows, under the eaves, in the alleys...all kinds of dark places are lurking.
Danger and intense hostility seem to permeate this city, making people fearful as if it were real.
Miao Pu believes that even if the crisis is lifted in the future, few people will be willing to come back to live here unless there are enough people.
After more than half an hour of tactical advancement, no monsters were encountered, but the group of people was a little tired from the torment.
Kang Danian signaled everyone to enter a corner shop to rest.
All the soldiers were squatting, leaning, or lying on the ground, doing whatever they felt comfortable with. Their weapons were always in their arms, without exception.
Although the coldest day of the year has passed, the current temperature in the north is still below minus 20 degrees Celsius. In addition, this winter seems to be particularly cold. It is said that the overall temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius lower than in previous years. Experts point out
, this is caused by a large amount of sunlight being intercepted and converted into heterogeneous energy.
In any case, low temperature has caused a series of inconveniences to this group of people. Just maintaining the flexibility of the fingers is a trouble. It may not be obvious at ordinary times, but what will happen if you cannot pull the trigger in time during a battle?
For Miao Pu, this level of low temperature was no longer a problem. He stood by the shop window, looking at the street scene through the somewhat dirty glass, thinking about his thoughts.
This is a clothing store. Perhaps because of the items it sells, it was not looted on the day of the disaster, and even the window glass was intact.
At this time, Qian Lihang leaned towards Miao Pu and handed over a brown paper bag, "Want some? Dried meat, it tastes pretty good."
Miao Pu wanted to refuse, but then thought again and reached out to take a piece.
"Why don't you just take one piece? Come with more. There's more."
"Thank you. For me, ordinary food is no longer good. Eating too much is not good. Just taste it."
Qian Lihang's curiosity was aroused again, and he asked expectantly: "Then what do you usually eat? Monsters?"
"Um!"
"Oh...then what if people change, will you eat it?"
Miao Pu replied with a black line in his head: "Uh... How should I put it? In theory, it should be edible, but emotionally I can't accept it, so I won't eat it."
Qian Lihang pointed to the basket on Miao Pu's back: "Could it be that the prepared rations are stored here?"
Miao Pu thought: "If you say it the other way around, it would be closer to the truth." He shook his head at Qian Lihang and said: "No, this is my contracted beast, and it is a more dangerous one. It might even kill me."
Everyone will be hurt by it.”
"Ah, you are so awesome! You are the most unique awakened person I have ever seen. You have a strong physique, you can also use a bow and arrow, and you even have contracted beasts. You are just like a hunter in the game."
Seeing Qian Lihang laughing and wanting to say something, Miao Pu suddenly frowned and loudly warned: "Get there immediately, there are mutated bugs."
Everyone was highly alert and reacted quickly, getting up and running outside.
At the same time, Miao Pu slapped his palm on the window glass, and the thick tempered glass was directly shattered into small pieces.
"Hiss..."
The bugs rushed out from the dark corners. They were big and moved fast, just like the scarabs in [Legend of Gods and Ghosts]. As soon as they appeared, they would swarm in large numbers.
As long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to find that the predecessors of these bugs are probably cockroaches.
There are very few big cockroaches in the North. In Huangcheng, Miao Pu had seen the largest cockroaches before, and they were not bigger than his thumb. But these guys in front of him obviously overturned Miao Pu's cognition. They were definitely bigger than those in the Republic of China.
Silver dollar, with strong limbs and sharp claws, and a shiny brown-black body, he looks very aggressive.
None of the soldiers ran slowly, but one ran in a hurry. He dropped something and then turned back to pick it up. This was a tragedy.
The group of cockroaches at the front spread their wings and flew up.
Miao Pu had never seen a flying cockroach before, but this time he saw one, which was similar to a beetle.
Perhaps because they are large and numerous, they make a buzzing sound when flying.
The flight of the cockroaches is probably for pounce, they are highly targeted and their movements are extremely fast.
The soldiers, who were surrounded by large cockroaches, howled, swung and stumbled out.
Sa...
A dazzling white light lit up, the source of which was Jiang Shangqing. This white light swept into the store like a wave. Caught by this white light, the cockroaches drifted away like fallen leaves in the tide. The cockroaches on the soldier's body were carefully taken care of, and almost all of them fell.
Some of them turned over on their stomachs and became motionless. Some of them were still able to run, but most of them lost their vitality and looked like they were just lingering.
In the chaos, Miao Pu noticed that several cockroaches were trampled under the feet of the fleeing soldiers. The floor of the store was hard, and the bottoms of the short boots worn by the soldiers were also very hard, but not a single cockroach was crushed.
The hardness of its shell is evident.
"Quick, quick, disinfect!" captain Kang Danian shouted.
Tsk tsk...
Sprayed like a dry powder fire extinguisher, the soldier bitten by the cockroach turned white in a matter of seconds.
"Detoxification!"
The medical soldier who accompanied the team went up and gave an injection in the jugular vein. It came and went quickly, and his skills were amazing.
"Ah! Ah!" The soldier knelt on the ground, howling in pain. After a while, he began to convulse.
No one came forward to help, because there was absolutely nothing he could do to help, everything he could do had been done, and the rest was up to him.
Perhaps because of luck, or perhaps because targeted treatment was relatively timely, the soldier finally survived. He was bitten in many places on his body, and smelly pus oozed from the wounds.
A soldier who was close to him came over and comforted him: "Okay, okay, it's okay. In the next few weeks, you don't have to worry about being too handsome."
The poison has been cured, but the swelling has not gone away. I have no idea how handsome this brother looked before, but now he is absolutely shockingly ugly.
At this time, Miao Pu saw a soldier taking a small notebook, jotting down something, and also holding a container to hold the corpse of a cockroach. When he wanted to hold a living sample, Kang Danian stopped him.
"How do you feel? Can you still move?" Kang Danian turned to ask the former handsome man who was bitten into a pig's head.
"Report, there is no problem, I can still move." The soldier tried his best to stand up straight, but unfortunately he couldn't. Just like he tried to speak clearly, but couldn't do it either.
"You, you, stretcher, carry him away." Kang Danian gave the order directly without any nonsense.
Therefore, fireman Hu Yantie's heavy machine gun, ammunition belts, and ammunition boxes were all borne by Miao Pu. After this march, he has been recognized as one of the strongest people in the team.
He was not allowed to carry the wounded because Kang Danian was still a little concerned and was not used to commanding him like commanding others.
Encountering cockroaches seemed to be the beginning of bad luck. Soon after, the group encountered mutated flies.
This really feels a bit exaggerated.
By the way, they look very lively in such a cold weather.
Miao Pu was the first to give the warning, and then the people who were prepared first heard its sound and then saw its shape. Each one was about the size of a child's glass ball, and they came in groups. They looked really cautious and panicked.
"number 3!"
Following Kang Danian's order, five soldiers fired grenades one after another.
The proficiency of this group of soldiers in firearms is indeed undeniable. Miao Pu could clearly see that each grenade had a very suitable impact position. It exploded in the air one after another, and the explosion energy crossed and swept across, creating a better killing effect than a simultaneous explosion.
After the explosion, a large area of the fly colony was cleared.
"Buzz!"
The severely injured flies turned and flew away.
Seeing the flies fly away, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but Miao Pu frowned.
Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing seemed to have discovered something fishy. The order to continue was not given, and the team continued to nest near the large truck with the words "Everyone Moves" printed on it.
Sure enough, the flies came back again, and this time they were not in swarms like before, but in several strands, flying in from several different directions.
"Get in the car!" Miao Pu shouted.
Everyone got into the car one after another, and the rear door was only half-open. The area that the soldiers guarding the door with flamethrowers had to take care of was greatly reduced.
Then the battle started. The flies tried their best to rush into the carriage, but the high temperature flames killed them one after another. Occasionally, some cunning ones tried to take advantage of the loopholes. Jiang Shangqing's light attribute was in place to make up for the leaks, but no flies succeeded.
In just over three minutes, the flies retreated in droves again, leaving behind fly corpses and a burning smell all over the floor outside the back door of the carriage.
"Guess what I thought of?" Jiang Shangqing said to Kang Danian.
"A fly's nest?"
"Haha, it can't be an aircraft carrier, right?" It's rare for Jiang Shangqing to be humorous at this time.
"Well, it is indeed necessary to investigate. The fuel we carry cannot withstand consumption for too long."
"Let me go investigate." Miao Pu volunteered.
Kang Danian and Jiang Shangqing looked at each other and said, "Pay attention to safety."
Miao Pu nodded, jumped out of the car, jumped more than 10 meters away, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"He is much stronger than I thought, and he seems to be versatile. Most awakened people are probably not that strong." Jiang Shangqing said thoughtfully, looking at the direction in which Miao Pu disappeared.
Kang Danian smiled and said: "For us now, this is a good thing."
As a result, Jiang Shangqing's prepared warning and threat theory was forced back into his stomach.
For Miao Pu, this so-called exploration was not difficult at all. The target was quickly discovered, let alone an "aircraft carrier."
Those were six strange people, well, if they could still be considered human.
Strictly speaking, they are just slightly shaped like human skins, like balloons that have been blown up. They are round and make some humming sounds inside.
When Miao Pu arrived, he happened to see the return of the swarm of flies. The six humanoid monsters, like whales sucking water, opened their big mouths and pulled them up to the roots of their ears. The flies were swallowed by them, and their bodies quickly became deformed.
huge.
Draw an arrow and infuse it with energy and mysterious spirit.
Unexpectedly, these monsters seemed to be very sensitive to energy. The energy here immediately attracted the attention of 6 weirdos, and their heads turned this way almost at the same time.
However, the arrow in Miao Pu's hand had already been shot out. Amidst the screams of the two weirdos, the arrow hit the ground without even showing its tail.
Then, before these weirdos could spit out the flies, Miao Pu evacuated at high speed.
After leaving a distance, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Even if those "aircraft carriers" still have some intelligence, they are probably very limited. If it were him, they would never stop at that place again, but those guys were threatening the alarm.
After it was released, it didn't move at all.
After returning to the carriage, Miao Pu gave an overview of the situation and said that the scourge would be eradicated in about ten minutes.
Two rounds!
Within ten minutes, the swarm of flies launched two more rounds of attacks. Under their attack, the carriages had tiny holes that could let in the skylight, which shows the sharpness of their mouthparts.
Shortly after the second round of offensive ended, Miao Pu said: "Okay, the crisis is over."
Jiang Shangqing didn't dare to believe it, but Kang Danian gave him full trust. Everyone left the carriage and rushed to the location of the "aircraft carrier". What they saw were 6 strange plants. They looked like old-fashioned packaged fruits.
Sugar, the lower roots and the upper leaves are all in a handful, with a round and bulging middle, and the vines are entangled with each other to make it airtight. If you get close and look closely, you will find that they are squirming, as if the intestines and stomach are digesting food.
"Daerba, it's not bad, it's a very environmentally friendly power." Kang Danian praised it heartily.
Since the plant elements born from the strange tree seeds were used as a general outline, the plants controlled by Miao Pu have carnivorous characteristics. However, without the assistance of the predator system, this function can only be regarded as a passive skill at best, even if it is controlled by Xuanling.
, I can just play some tricks of waiting for the rabbit to catch the rabbit, and barely catch it.
As for the way of eating, this one is more cruel. It is basically similar to a spider. First, the digestive juice is injected to turn the prey into a thick soup, and then it is sucked away...
Digestion takes time, but there is no need to wait deliberately. As long as the landform is normal, you only need to leave some special marks along the road, and Xuanling will find it afterwards.
"Squeak...squeak..."
The vitality of those weirdos is stronger than imagined. Even after a while, they are still making screams. The screams are extremely sharp and uncomfortable to listen to.
"Ultra-high frequency sound waves should be calling the same kind of people. We have to leave this place." Miao Pu said with a frown.
Everyone walked slowly and closely, but they still encountered two [Fly Herder Monsters], a man and a woman. They moved like rubber balls, bouncing together and falling, but their bodies did not leave the ground. It seemed that they were just using the ups and downs of the body.
potential.
There was no suitable hiding place, and it was the fly-herding monster that discovered everyone first and sent out swarms of flies. As a result, everyone had no choice but to bravely go up.
Even Miao Pu had no good way to deal with the numerous little things flying all over the sky. Only Jiang Shangqing's light attribute attack was somewhat effective.
Miao Pu attacked again and forcibly beheaded him.
But this time things didn't go so smoothly. Not only did the fly herding monsters have strong perception, they could also observe the situation through the flies. They were typical kite flow monsters and would retreat once their opponents approached them.
Fortunately, the speed of these guys is far inferior to Miao Pu, but they dare to burrow into the monster pile. For example, the nearby buildings, which are basically larger, are the monster lairs mainly composed of dark chasers.
Naturally, Miao Pu was not afraid of this. He chased him all the way into a building and gave a few special grenades to the fly monster.
Bang! Bang!
The body of the fly monster was shattered by the impact and flames of the explosion. Thousands of huge maggots flew out from it, and many pupae rolled out. Some maggots looked like they were about to mutate again. They could be as long as a vegetable snake, and their movements were also different.
They are flexible and quick, but the energy and flames of the explosion are still raging, and the severe cold climate that follows will not allow them to survive for too long.
The fly monsters were destroyed, but Miao Pu was also disgusted by them. How could there be such disgusting monsters in this world?
