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.
To be continued...
