Survival on Mars Live

Chapter 78 The Tranquility Before the Storm Comes

Returning to the surface, Chen Mulin didn't dare to wait for a moment, and slipped away in an armored vehicle and a transport vehicle.

After nearly a week and thousands of kilometers of detours, he finally returned to the base.

Only then did he relax a little and upload the photos he took desperately to the live broadcast room.

He said dully: "I came back and found a big guy down there. It scared me half to death, but I ran fast!"

After the water friends finished watching the pictures, the barrage became agitated.

[Bullet screen: Wow, the bottom of the relationship is the nest of cockroaches! 】

[Barrage: That big guy is probably a worm mother. 】

[Barrage: This is a hornet's nest. The Martians didn't notice it, and they provoked a group of big cockroaches. 】

[Barrage: How good the food is to grow such a big cockroach. 】

[Barrage: It looks scary. 】

[Barrage: Green liquid is still flowing, so disgusting! 】

……

"That's right, such a big cockroach can't be dealt with with the firepower of the Ma Krypton-[-]. I have to retreat strategically first. I hope their army will not come here, otherwise it will be troublesome."

With a sullen face, Chen Mulin rubbed his chin and analyzed: "Now I have provoked this group of cockroaches, and it was twice. I guess I have already missed them, and it will be difficult to get rid of their entanglement in a short time."

"what should I do?"

Chen Mulin desperately scratched his head, very irritable.

Being missed by such a group of cockroaches, let alone going out for a walk, I don't even feel safe staying in the base.

For this problem, the water friend's proposal is as follows.

[Barrage: Create a bunch of weapons and fight them to the death! 】

"No way!" Chen Mulin shook his head and rejected the proposal: "With my current attack power, it's okay to fight some average-sized cockroaches, but if I fight against those big trucks, it will probably take some time. There is no way at all. Mass kills, there are too many of them!"

"Besides, you all said that the biggest one is the worm mother. Originally, the reproductive ability of cockroaches is strong, but with such a big one, the reproductive ability is not against the sky, and it can't be killed cleanly!"

[Barrage: Then kill that worm mother. 】

"The insecticidal mother may work, but how should I kill it?"

Chen Mulin thought for a while, and there was really only one way to solve the problem at present.

It can be determined which cockroaches have their own long-distance communication methods, just like a network connected together, and the insect mother is their host, and can issue orders to all cockroaches.

Naturally, the worm mother probably knew about it when she provoked them for the first time, otherwise she wouldn't have chased them all the way to the vicinity of the base.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that as long as they can conduct organized investigations, they can already guess a rough idea.

If the insect mother is killed, their communication network will completely collapse, and they will transform from a group to an independent group. Maybe they will still form groups of twos and threes, but there will never be a large group of them appearing at the same time.

There is also a possibility that those cockroaches who are second only to the insect mother divide the entire group, form small groups of forces, and fight each other.

In any case, killing the insect mother definitely has only advantages and no disadvantages.

But here lies the problem, how to kill the insect mother?

With the size of the worm mother and the guards beside it, if you want to kill the worm mother, you must have a weapon of mass destruction, and it must be powerful enough to break through its defenses.

From the current point of view, elementary laser weapons are not so powerful at all, unless the caliber is increased by dozens of times.

However, on the other hand, if the caliber increases, the energy consumption will also increase. Now there are many energy crystals, the key is the problem of energy output. Primary laser weapons cannot output such a huge amount of energy at the same time. If they can output such a large amount of energy , There is no need for such a large caliber anymore, that is the technology of more advanced weapons.

"That's right, there's that one!"

Suddenly, Chen Mulin remembered a forgotten weapon, the grenade!
It was just an ordinary fragmentation grenade. At the beginning, because it was too ordinary, Chen Mulin didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't make it.

That's right, with such an advanced weapon as a laser gun, who would value ordinary fragmentation grenades?

Now think about it, compared to laser guns, grenades are more practical for killing large creatures. If one grenade is not powerful enough, then add two more. rotten!

……

In the next few days, Chen Mulin began to produce and hoard grenades, and at the same time went out on patrol every day, compared to twice a day in the previous period, now it increased to once every hour.

However, he discovered a very strange phenomenon.

On the first day, he still found a few cockroaches every time he patrolled, but in the next few days, he found that those cockroaches had disappeared, and the few cockroaches he found occasionally were retreating.

If Chen Mulin would have been very happy some time ago, he could finally feel at ease.

However, he can't be happy now, he has a faint feeling of uneasiness, and always feels that something is wrong.

It was so peaceful, like the feeling of a storm coming.
