Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.20 Four Days After the Invasion · "Don't Cry."

Above their heads, the vents were full of fire, and the fire was burning fiercely, as if a fire curtain had been hung, and the movement inside seemed to be quieter, and the insects no longer tried to moth to the flame.

Just like the dozen or so vents before were silent for a while, this time, the movement here also disappeared in an instant.

With the previous precedent of annihilation of the entire group, the silence this time made people even more creepy and uneasy.

"Quick! Find it quickly! They must have swarmed to specialize in another vent!" Someone immediately reacted.

Long Changlin spat harshly: "Is this thing smart? Do you still understand this?!"

Knowing that spreading out would not break through the vents they sealed, so they simply swarmed and pressed only one opening... This is simply the most basic wisdom.

"Team Long! We found it! Here it is!" Someone shouted.

Long Changlin immediately trotted over with the team.

Sure enough, I saw the vents in this place, and the tape on the outside was exactly the same as the previous one, so heavy that it seemed that a hole would be broken anytime, anywhere.

"Get ready, get ready!"

"Stand back a little bit!"

……

"Zi-Zi-Zi-"

The sound of tape being cut.

There was another loud "hum", and a group of insects burst through the vent.

After gaining experience, this time the defense and offense were methodical, and Duan Yiding was still in front of him, seizing the opportunity to ignite the car mat stuck in the air vent.

Oil-soaked mats blazed through the narrow ventilation ducts, causing small bursts.Fortunately, the pipes were sealed with iron sheets and were not blasted.

Ten minutes passed, and everyone sat on the ground embarrassed and panting.

"I can't go on like this... I will be dragged to death." Long Changlin gasped and looked at Duan Yi, "How about we just rush out?"

"No." Duan Yi vetoed it, "There is no shelter outside, which is more favorable for the insect swarm."

Long Changlin cursed, wiped his face, stood up with a flamethrower, pointed at the vent of the next target, and said fiercely: "We finally rushed out from the imperial capital, I don't believe it, the imperial capital can't keep so many of us. Fate, these swarms can do it!"

"Bang! Hum!" As soon as the words fell, another large group of insects emerged from one place.

……

More than a dozen vents were broken through and blocked in the same way, and everyone was exhausted.

They looked at more than a dozen air vents with fire curtains hanging above their heads, and they stopped the swarm attack from all the openings!

All Long Changlin's subordinates cheered and celebrated, and survived another night!

Long Changlin didn't join in, he pursed his lips and approached Duan Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think those things are gone?"

Duan Yi shook his head slightly.

Since the genes of ancient creatures were stimulated, his five senses were much sharper than before, and he could tell that the swarms didn't go far, but were just trapped in the ventilation ducts.

Long Changlin pursed his lips tightly, pointed to the first vent and said, "The fire over there can't last long. After these are all burned out, no one can stop the swarm of insects."

"Leave me the box of the doctor's engine oil." Long Changlin exhaled and smiled at Duan Yi, "You have to take my subordinates away. When the first flame goes out, you should retreat immediately, no stay."

"Long team, you..." Duan Yi frowned.

"This is an order, Colonel."

"..." Duan Yi didn't speak, just looked at those teammates whose faces were full of joy after the disaster.

Long Changlin continued: "You are more likely to survive than us, so you have to take the doctor with you to ensure that most people can retreat successfully."

Cheng Sheng, who was named, is staying with Luo Xiaonan in the sealed collection card at the moment.

Luo Xiaonan was lying on the edge of the iron gate of the truck, looking out carefully.The gap is not big, at most it can penetrate the width of a finger, which is not enough for those bugs to fly in.

He whispered: "Doctor, it seems that nothing is going on outside, what are the brothers and sisters celebrating?"

Cheng Sheng didn't respond to Luo Xiaonan in time, his face was pale, not to mention bloodless.

Ever since Duan Yi and the others were attacked, the indistinct and inaudible movement in his head became louder and louder, and it was filled with a violent and cruel extreme emotion, and even had a certain kind of emotion on himself. degree of influence.

Cheng Sheng had to restrain himself and calm down, trying to digest and suppress this strange and dangerous emotion.

Luo Xiaonan kept watching the movement outside until he realized that Cheng Sheng hadn't answered him, so he turned to look at the doctor.

"Doctor, what's the matter?" Luo Xiaonan squatted in front of Cheng Sheng, looked at Cheng Sheng, showing a little fear, "Doctor... your eyes are so red."

Cheng Sheng clutched the armrest tightly, and his clothes were almost soaked in cold sweat. He managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I'm fine, help me keep an eye on the situation outside, don't come over."

Luo Xiaonan panicked and squatted back to the door, he was terribly worried, afraid that the doctor who treated him so well would become like his parents.

But he doesn't know what he can do, he can only listen to the doctor's words, stay there obediently, and then pray to his parents who have become stars in his heart to protect them.

Cheng Sheng was trying to understand the voice in his head. He always vaguely felt that he could understand it, but there was a thin barrier in the middle, which was like setting a limit on him. Once he broke through the barrier, he would be a beyond.

Cheng Sheng's eyes were red from the heat, he knew that his current appearance must be scary, he knew it from the way Luo Xiaonan shrank in the doorway trembling all over. '

He gritted his teeth fiercely, and the veins on his fair neck stretched all the way up to his temples, the veins were prominent.

No one can set limits on him.

Cheng Sheng's eyes were cold, and madness flickered in his usually calm and self-sustaining black eyes at this moment. The pain seemed nothing.

Outside the collection card, Duan Yi seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly raised his head to look in Cheng Sheng's direction.

"What's wrong?" Long Changlin noticed, looked over vigilantly, and asked.

"...It's nothing, I'll take a look." Duan Yi replied, and he walked quickly to the card box.

However, before he had time to go far, he heard someone in the team suddenly shout: "Long team! Duan team! The fire curtain is about to go out!"

Four or five people picked up the flamethrower and aimed at the first vent where the fire had weakened. There were already small swarms of insects trying to rush out of the vent.

Duan Yi paused when he heard the shout, and had to let go of his plan to determine Cheng Sheng's situation.

Long Changlin and Duan Yi rushed over to resist the swarm of insects spraying out

"Others, don't stop, keep adding combustibles to the ventilation duct!" Long Changlin shouted while blocking.He looked at Duan Yi beside him, and said in a low voice, "Duan Yi, it's almost time, if you can't stop it, I'll leave it to you later."

Duan Yiding was in front of Long Changlin, and it took a few seconds before he replied: "Got it."

"Doctor, there seem to be a lot of bugs popping up outside again..." Luo Xiaonan lay down in the gap and reported in a low voice.

Cheng Sheng could actually hear the movement outside, but right now he couldn't concentrate on responding to Luo Xiaonan.

Luo Xiaonan turned his head to look at Cheng Sheng, his eyes suddenly widened and he gasped.

Cheng Sheng's shadow was reflected in his pupils, but Cheng Sheng was surrounded by a blue flame.

Cheng Sheng didn't realize it. He closed his eyes tightly and vaguely heard the voice in his head.

The voice conveyed a signal to him intermittently:

Kill, kill them all, use their bodies to build a nest for our queen.

Cheng Sheng was looking for the source of this signal, and at the same time, he felt a little uneasy and uncertain for the first time—could this signal come from Alpha in the swarm?Why can he hear the swarm?In addition to hearing and receiving such signals...then can he do more?

The signal source comes from Alpha cockroaches, and Alpha is giving orders to the swarm.

Cheng Sheng's brain was running at high speed.

If he can receive it, can he send a similar signal?

if it is possible……

Luo Xiaonan leaned against the crack of the door, three meters away from Cheng Sheng, but even after such a long distance, he still felt the scorching heat of the blue flame around the doctor.

He looked around. On both sides of Cheng Sheng and the surrounding ground, the iron sheet of Jika showed signs of scorched black and molten iron.

Luo Xiaonan was terrified, shrunk his calf and arms, his delicate skin was reddened by the high temperature of the heat, but he didn't dare to disturb Cheng Sheng.

And set cards outside.

Long Changlin watched with some despair at the dwindling fire in front of him. Except for the place they were guarding now, the fire in the other dozen or so vents gradually weakened.

And there is still a long time before the sun rises.

They couldn't take it anymore.

Long Changlin's neck turned red, he snatched the flamethrower from Duan Yi's hand, and shouted: "Everyone obey orders! With Colonel Duan Yi, start retreating! Execute immediately!"

Everyone was taken aback, and immediately realized Long Changlin's plan.

A few older soldiers quickly reacted, glanced at the young colleagues standing side by side, gritted their teeth, grabbed the other party's flamethrower before the other party could react, and shouted at the same time: "The rest People retreat!"

Long Changlin can't last long alone. Once all of them retreat, the other dozen vents will be completely wiped out by the swarm within a few minutes. Some of them must stay.

A few seasoned veterans reacted the fastest and quickly followed Long Changlin.

"No, we won't go. We can survive. The sun will come out soon, and we will get through it soon. We have endured for so long. There is no reason to sacrifice people now!" someone cried.

Everyone stayed in place and guarded those vents, maybe they could still survive. If they withdrew, Long Team and a dozen other people would definitely not be able to survive.

No one would leave.

Long Changlin's eyes turned red anxiously: "This is an order!"

"Then after we survive, Team Long will punish us!"

"..."

Seeing this, Duan Yi quickly changed his strategy, and ordered: "The second and third teams retreat, pile up combustibles around the collection trucks, and wait for the height and width of the people. The first and fourth teams draw people to move in the direction of six o'clock, and fill up the second and third vents." Missing."

Long Changlin took a quick look at Duan Yi, frowned, but he didn't bother with any nonsense, and continued to face the swarm of insects trying to break through the fire curtain.

"Roger that!"

A dozen or so people quickly followed Duan Yi's instructions and piled up combustibles as tall as a person around the collection card.

"Duan team! The arrangement is complete!"

Duan Yi decisively issued an order: "Everyone, including the Long team, slowly retreat around the collection card! Shrink the encirclement to resist!"

Long Changlin vaguely guessed Duan Yi's plan, he roared: "Listen to Duan Yi's order, retreat and narrow the encirclement! The primary goal is to protect the doctor!"

"Roger that!"

Everyone fights and retreats.

At this moment, Anna woke up from the monitoring room. She saw the situation outside from the transparent glass on all sides.There are more than a dozen air vents, and dense swarms of insects can be seen everywhere, swarming out.

And those soldiers with flamethrowers quickly retreated to the collection truck.

Her pupils shrank slightly, thinking of the swarms of insects that swarmed onto the glass of the monitoring room that night, she shivered violently.

Those people obviously forgot that she was still here!They are going to get on the set card and leave!She was left alone!

Anna looked outside in panic. The swarm hadn't rushed over yet. If she ran out at this time and returned to the truck, she would have time to go with them!

Anna mustered up her courage and slammed down the doorknob.

However, several chairs were piled up at random outside the door, blocking the door tightly.

Anna was taken aback for a moment, and then pushed hard a few times in disbelief, but at most she pushed the door open with a width of more than ten centimeters, and couldn't get out at all!

She remembered that when Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi went in, those people also blocked these things at the door.

She rammed out frantically, screaming and trying to get the attention of the soldiers outside.

The gap widened again, Anna tried to squeeze out sideways, half of her shoulder squeezed through the crack of the door, with ecstasy in her eyes, fortunately she was thin.

She rubbed against the door frame, trying to curl up and squeeze out, the skin against the door frame was scratched.

The insect swarm outside the door scattered and flew around. After the fire in the vent was weakened, it could hardly stop the insect swarm.

Two or three cockroaches flapped their wings and flew to Anna's side, and Anna's pupils shrank suddenly.

She squeezed out even more fiercely, but the corner of her skirt was caught by the iron hook on the door frame, pulling her back violently.

Anna screamed, and the swarm had already flown in front of her.

She looked in horror at the worms swarming in front of her eyes, each one as big as her palm, with flapping wings, buzzing.

Seeing that there was no hope of running out, Anna wanted to back up and retreat into the monitoring room, but her feet got stuck in the gaps of the chairs outside the door, and she couldn't move for a while.

The elytra easily cut through her soft and fair skin.

A part of the swarm seemed to smell the smell of fresh blood, and swarmed onto Anna's body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Anna screamed and screamed, watching her body covered with swarms of insects, they cut her body, and their slender legs and mutated mouthparts were inserted into the wound.

Some even opened the wound, carefully bit off the flesh and blood to make a depression, and laid the egg sheath in the wound.

They regard her as a natural breeding ground for incubation!

"Ahhhh-"

The sound of Anna's screams was covered by the mechanical sound of the flamethrower outside and the crackling sound of the swarm burning.

No one heard the movement in the monitoring room.

It didn't even occur to anyone to take a peek at the monitoring room.After all, they were the ones in real danger they had to fend off, and Anna, in the surveillance room surrounded by bulletproof glass, was safer than any of them.

When they finally narrowed down to the lowest range around the collection card, the swarm also approached.

Duan Yi seized the opportunity and quickly ordered: "Pour engine oil and light it!"

In an instant, there was a "boom", and the flames shot into the sky.

The soaring fire and the sudden rise in temperature shocked the swarm of insects, and they were blocked from the wall of fire for a while.

One more block, one more hold...

"Squad No. [-] is out of fuel! Please help!" Someone from the squad suddenly shouted.

"Six teams too!"

"..."

Cries for help sounded one after another, and at the same time, there was a swarm of black bugs gradually pressing down above the head.

Duan Yi's eyes flashed ice blue, he clenched his fists, ready to turn into a huge ancient creature at any moment when the swarm broke through the flames, covering the team under him.

"Come out the sun, come out the sun..."

"Who will help us..."

"Come on a miracle..."

"I can't see hope... what should I do..."

Cheng Sheng heard various voices in the truck compartment, begging, desperate...

Also: "Build a nest! Build a nest! Raise a queen!"

Luo Xiaonan lay on his stomach in the card box, looking out of the crack of the door.

He could see everyone's desperation, and the fear brought to him by the swarms outside was not as uncomfortable as the despair of others. Luo Xiaonan covered his mouth tightly, sobbing muffledly.

Luo Xiaonan's cry also reached Cheng Sheng's ears.

His eyelids moved slightly, and his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair flicked slightly, as if there was a reaction.

"do not Cry."

Luo Xiaonan suddenly heard the doctor's voice, calm and gentle, like a ray of light piercing the darkness.

He cried for a while and subconsciously looked in Cheng Sheng's direction.

Cheng Sheng opened his eyes suddenly.

The blue flames around him jumped up suddenly, drowning Cheng Sheng's figure in an instant.

At the same moment, Duan Yi paused as he prepared to change, his arms were already covered with a layer of snow-white scales.

But outside, the black insect swarm seemed to stop the moment it was suppressed.

The scene seemed to stand still for a while.

Luo Xiaonan stared wide-eyed and looked ahead, sensing a danger signal that made his hair stand on end.

He looked at the blue flame in fear, the feeling of extreme danger came from there.

The Doctor is there too...
