The Scavengers

November 10th Progression 29

Xue Lihong: "...Eight, nine, ten! Go!"

Lei Bing's voice sounded in the convoy at the same time: "Go!"

Seeing that the military convoy was rushing toward them without slowing down at all, no matter how much the old man in the middle yelled, it was useless, and everyone hurriedly ran towards the roads on both sides of the road.

The old man held a few people and wanted to insist. The first car passed over their heads. I don't know if the cars behind them have such a function, but do they really dare to hit them?

"Old Hou! Let go! These people won't stop! Let go!"

Seeing the approaching military vehicles, Lao Hou's legs began to tremble. Pulled by an old man next to him, he rolled and scrambled into the ditch beside the road.

The convoy rushed forward, and the supernatural beings in the lead car tried their best to remove the obstacles blocking the road to both sides of the road.

There were also two rows of shattered glass deliberately inserted in the plastic foam on the road, but Lei Bing blew up the two rows of shattered glass from a distance.

Xue Lihong ordered: "Go first, don't stop! Until you cross the river."

Lei Bing was puzzled: "What's going on? Is there something wrong here?" If it's just some road hog robbers, then the young man who doesn't care about anything except his boss will definitely leave this kind of troublesome matter to them to solve. It's called "pressing the formation".

"There are gold-eating bugs here. Some of them are ambushing on both sides of the road, and some are rushing here. If they don't leave, no one will be able to leave."

When the sound fell, hundreds of gold-eating insects suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road.

"Damn it! Why didn't you tell me!" Lei Bing saw it and shouted anxiously: "The gold-eating bug is here! Brothers, hurry up!"

I told you, and you asked me if I could change the route, and I said no, but the end result was still the same. If so, why am I talking so much nonsense?Also a waste of time.An idiot is an idiot, not as cute as my boss.Xue Lihong pressed the communicator expressionlessly.

The driver of the last military vehicle made a strange noise, stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and drove the vehicle so that it was about to fly.

Six military vehicles passed under the belly of the base vehicle at high speed. No one dared to be slow for half a second. The drivers and the supernatural beings were highly concentrated. The supernatural beings had good eyesight and told everyone how far ahead there was and what was there. , the supernatural powers watched and listened, and according to the prior assignment, they took turns to remove obstacles on the road. Among them, the earth supernatural powers were the busiest and the most tired.

How ruthless this gold bug is, as long as the soldiers who have been on missions with Lei Bing have seen it, it is really seeing buildings collapse, seeing cars and cars destroyed, guns and shells are their snacks, tanks, planes and aircraft carriers are theirs favorite.Coupled with their shells that become harder and harder to eat, they are really almost invincible in eating all over the world!Anyone who sees it will be afraid!

"Xue! Why did you bring us to this road? Are you crazy?" Lei Bing yelled in the communicator.

Xue Lihong didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was still staring at the surveillance screen, those gold-eating bugs were chasing after them.

Xiao Mo coughed, and explained in detail what Xiao Hong had told him: "The diversion is already the result of choosing the lesser of two evils. According to the satellite, the steel cable bridge across the river in City Y that you came over before has been broken."

"How come? Damn, is it a gold-eating bug?"

"Correct."

"Wait! Didn't the territory of the gold-eating bugs not cover City Y?"

Xiao Mo sighed: "Xiaohong said it should have something to do with people." He asked the system in his mind why the gold-eater would leave the restricted area.

System, "Although monsters and viruses have different areas of activity, if they are brought out by the most advanced intelligent creatures on the earth, that is, humans, they are considered not to violate the rules."

Xiao Mo understood, and Xiao Hong guessed the same way.

Lei Bing scolded angrily: "Probably another crazy scientist, or someone who wants to profit from gold-eating bugs. These bastards who harm others and do nothing to themselves! If they want to study something, they will study it in place and bring it out for calculation." What!"

"Maybe someone wants to bring the living dead virus out for research." Xiao Mo joked.

As a result, neither side spoke.Xiao Mo was terrified, although it was a joke, but considering the inferiority of human beings, it is really possible.

Thinking of this, he quickly asked the system again: "If it is a virus and monster brought out by humans, is there no regional restriction?"

The system replied very positively: "Yes, so you must remember to recycle all kinds of garbage at any time. When encountering monsters and viruses that leave the restricted area, either eliminate them as quickly as possible, or wait for them to flood. Although there are monsters and viruses among monsters Natural enemies are there, but not very effective."

Xiao Mo can only pray now that no one will be stupid and take the initiative to take all kinds of viruses and monsters out of the restricted area.

Lei Bing gasped, "Why did you park there? Don't tell me your car is not afraid of gold bugs."

Xiao Mo was also wondering about this, and turned to look at Xue Lihong.

"There is something here that can shield the gold-eating bugs from sensing metal." Xue Lihong used an affirmative sentence.

Xiao Mo leaned forward to look at the surveillance screen, "What did you find?"

Xue Lihong pointed to one of the images, clicked to enlarge, "Look at this person."

Xiao Mo stared, "He...has a gun! No, there are gold-eating bugs here, how could he still keep the pistol?"

"This is not the only one with a gun." Xue Lihong enlarged the picture, "These people are lying in ambush on both sides of the road. They probably want to let the gold-eaters come out and eat the weapons of the vehicles and people in the vehicles, and consume a certain amount of our combat power. Afterwards, they plan to come out to clean up the mess. The gold-eaters eat metal, and they rob other food and supplies, perhaps including women and children. These people have formed a symbiotic relationship with the gold-eaters."

Xiao Mo didn't turn off the communicator, Lei Bing heard it all over there, scolded those road bandits for nothing, and said very righteously: "These road bandits and tyrants are harmful to people if they keep them, not to mention they are still fighting with gold-eating bugs. These harmful pests are united, for the sake of the people and the peace of the world, as soldiers, we must eliminate them! Team Xiao, do you have any plans?"

Xiao Mo smiled, knowing that Lei Bing also wanted something that could shield the gold-eaters from sensing metal.

Xue Lihong's face is dark, what he hates the most is going out to do missions with Lei Bing and the others, but Lei Bing likes to cooperate with their team the most.

"Team Lei, wait a moment, you cross the river first. Gold-eating insects are afraid of water. According to satellites, no gold-eating insects have appeared on the other side of the river."

"Okay. Be careful!" Lei Bing knew that Xiao Mo wanted to discuss with Xue Lihong.

It is difficult for Xue Lihong to speak, but as long as Xiao Mo speaks, he seldom refuses.Although they now know that there is a treasure here, he was not the first to discover it. He still can't do the wicked thing of abandoning his friends and leading people to look for the treasure secretly.

And when other ordinary soldiers can't use weapons such as knives and guns, but the road bandits have them, and they don't know the exact number of opponents, what can they do with a few supernatural beings?Turn around and bring someone back?Then we have to find out the situation, right?

So no matter what, they need to cooperate with the scavengers.

Xiao Mo pressed the communicator, gently pushed the young man's shoulder, and reminded him: "You know how much damage the gold-eating bugs can do. If there is such a material, all countries will be crazy about it. We have a small manpower, and we can monopolize the possibility No matter how powerful you are, you can't compete with the entire country or even the whole world. But if we first discover this material, find out how to extract and use it, and then choose the way to divide it, it will be for our team and General Qiu Feng , Good for the whole country.”

Xue Lihong turned her head, opened her mouth and bit the hand on her shoulder.He didn't intend to keep it to himself, otherwise he wouldn't have revealed the secret in front of Lei Bing.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xue, someone ran out from both sides of the road, and they are running this way." Cheng Zai manipulated the surveillance screen, and there were more images on his side.

"Let's try to see if this car can be sensed by gold-eating bugs." Xue Lihong pressed the invisible button.

The road bandits who ran out said, "Huh? Where's the spider car? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"That car will be invisible! God! Have we encountered high technology? It must be a secret weapon developed by the military! Head, we have to get it no matter what!"

"Yeah yeah, if we can paint that thing on the body of this car, we won't be afraid anywhere, so why don't we continue to hide in this damn place!"

"You can't give up here, don't forget, here is the biggest treasure to prevent gold bugs!"

"In short, get this car first, and don't let the gold-eaters eat this car!"

"exactly!"

"But..." a wiser man said, "We can't even see the car, how can we get the car?"

The road bandit leader waved his hand, "Walk on both sides, dodge well, and follow the gold eaters! Those people must have weapons in their hands, so be careful!"

The more than a hundred gold-eating bugs chasing after them were getting closer and closer to the base vehicle.

Xue Lihong also deliberately changed the parking position of the car.Look at the direction, they are coming directly to the base vehicle.

"It seems that even if the material of this car is invisible, it can't prevent gold-eaters." After confirming this point, Xue Lihong no longer just took a defensive position.

"Attention everyone in the team! Open the nearest operation panel in front of you."

"Oh!" Xiao Mo, Lin Xiaofei and Wu Xiaoyuan all opened the operation panel closest to them.Even Yuan Yuan opened an operation panel with the help of Lin Xiaofei.

"Did you see the division of areas above? Captain No. 1 area, Lin Xiaofei No. 2, Wu Xiaoyuan No. 3, Yuan Yuan No. 4, the rest is mine, try to kill the red dots that enter the range. Understand?"

"Understood!" The two boys replied loudly.

Yuan Yuan was in a hurry. Finally, she had played games before, so she was not unfamiliar with this kind of interface, and her No. 4 area was also the smallest and most extended. It looked like it was for her to practice her hands.

Xiao Mo frowned, he knew that Xue Lihong wanted to train the team members so that they would have the ability to fight and defend at any time, but if they only attacked the red dots, wouldn't that also include the road bandits, let such two young children kill...

Xue Lihong seemed to know what he was thinking, and said casually: "The gold-eaters are faster than the road bandits, as long as those road bandits are not stupid, they will not come here now, they will let the gold-eaters take the lead first."

Xiao Mo was a little relieved.

Xue Lihong, "If you don't want those two kids to kill, then you have to kill more, if you let the enemy approach, this car can't block all the enemies 100%, and we can't be in the car all the time. "

"I understand." Xiao Mo, who recalled the memory of the past, is not so hard to accept killing now. This is probably the same as some girls who are forced to prostitute themselves. What's the difference between the second time and the third time?" self-defeating thoughts.

Isn't that how many soldiers came here?Since those fighters can force themselves to kill in order to protect their country and the people, why can't he do it to bandits and bandits in order to protect his teammates, family and everything he wants to protect?

In terms of missions, those humans who turned into monsters were at least forced to do so, but these road bandits all actively wanted to harm people.

Xiao Mo's eyes changed a little, he didn't look outside the car, but focused on all the red dots on the No. 1 area assigned to him.

As long as the gold-eating bug enters the attackable range, it will turn into a red dot in the area.Leaving aside the assigned areas of the others, the No. 1 area allocated to Xiao Mo is an irregular rectangle, and the shooting distances are also different.However, the operation panel is very smart, as long as the red dots of each attack button reach their range, they will automatically light up.

Xue Lihong said: "Get ready! Listen to my order and attack again. I need the test results. The first wave of monsters is locked, click the pistol!"

The four pressed the pistol buttons at the same time.The operation interface seems to be controlled by Mr. Xue Lihong, only the attack button he said is on, which saves those who are not familiar with the interface the trouble of looking for the attack button.

The few gold-eating bugs running in the front were blown away, but not all of them died, and some turned over and continued to crawl this way.

Seeing it, Wu Xiaoyuan poked the pistol button on the screen with his left hand: kill kill kill!

"Second wave lock, shotgun launch!"

This time, all gold-eating bugs that entered the range were attacked, but the result was even worse than the first wave.

Xiao Yuan was in such a hurry that she wanted to jump out of the car to catch bugs.

Classmate Lin Xiaofei was very calm, and grabbed the little paw waving by the child to prevent him from poking the screen.

"The third wave is locked, the No. 3 high-voltage motor!"

The principle of this high-voltage motor is similar to that of the commonly used high-voltage motors on the market. There will be a line connected to the injection, and the high voltage will be continuously output. Depending on the length of the electric shock, the degree of damage will vary.

It's a pity that the gold-eating bug conducts electricity very well. If it is not in a closed environment, it will directly guide the current to the ground under its feet.The last time Xiao Mo recovered gold-eating female worms, he put the female worms in a glass bottle, put them in water, and then shocked the female worms in the bottle with a high-voltage electric shock, destroying the internal organs and reproductive system of the female worms, and only then could the recovery be successful.

But these worms seem to be more resistant to electricity.

"The fourth wave is locked, water guns first, and then the power grid!" Xue Lihong manipulated the base vehicle to keep moving back, widening the distance from the gold-eaters.

This time, the effect is better, and the internal organs and brain of the gold-eating bug are not completely metal. This is a very strange life.But after the current passed, they just shook in the water, stiffened for a moment, and then slowly recovered.

In fact, Xue Lihong had done these experiments in the previous mission to eliminate the gold-eating bugs, but the team members were scattered at that time, and the data were not as accurate as those calculated by the on-board intelligence.

After getting the detailed data, Xue Lihong didn't delay any longer, and immediately used the most effective attack method against gold-eating bugs confirmed before: "The fifth wave of locking, chemical corrosion!"

It is difficult for metals to break down, but it is easy to corrode.

In other words, if you want to deal with gold-eating bugs, you can just splash them with hydrochloric acid and aqua regia.

The base vehicle shoots these chemicals in the form of shotguns. Try to hit a gold-eating bug with each chemical warhead, so as to avoid polluting the environment and accidental injury to the greatest extent.

This time the gold-eating bugs were miserable, as long as they were hit by chemical warheads, they would all be corroded miserably.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ! Finally!" The children screamed excitedly and clapped each other.

Yuan Yuan wiped her sweat. Fortunately, she had the automatic target locking function, otherwise she wouldn't be able to kill any of them.

Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong helplessly, he knew what Xue Lihong was thinking.

Xue Lihong secretly thought it was a pity, why did he keep testing, it was because he was reluctant to eat the shells of the gold bugs, they could be used as materials if they were collected a lot.

I hope to find a more effective means of dealing with gold-eating insects in the future. The use of chemicals is still too wasteful and not environmentally friendly.

Before, they tried to capture some gold-eating insects and raise them in glass tanks to see if they could starve them to death.As a result, these gold-eating bugs began to devour each other without food, and the last one left forced itself to eat the glass jar.

According to Xuelihong's test, glass is the most hated material for gold-eating bugs. It seems that glass fiber will cause certain damage to their teeth and internal organs. For this reason, they are not even willing to bite glass.But if they don't bite the glass and don't eat the glass, the glass has no chance of harming them.

It was temporarily impossible to raise gold-eating insects for research. Since then, Xue Lihong has stopped catching gold-eating insects, but he has never given up on finding a more effective and less wasteful method of killing gold-eating insects.

So can the things that can shield the gold-eating bugs from metal perception also kill the gold-eating bugs?

"Attention all team members, the small bugs are dead, now we will start to catch the big bugs, follow my instructions, as long as they rush into the shooting range, use the stun gun to deal with them."

"Aww!" All the members of the scavenging team were waiting for the road bandits to rush over, especially Wu Xiaoyuan's eyes were wide open, and his little claws scratched and scratched.

Seeing her son like that, Yuan Yuan was going to die of worry.Being aggressive is a good thing, but is it too aggressive to want to kill both humans and monsters?

The road bandits who were looking for the base car behind the gold-eater were startled when they saw the sudden bullets attacking the gold-eater, and they all backed away desperately.

But when they found out that the gold-eating bugs didn't suffer much damage after successive waves of attacks, they became more courageous and even chatted leisurely.

"Boss, should we tell them to hand over the car if we don't want the car to be destroyed." Someone suggested loudly.

The road bandit leader disagreed, "They have weapons."

"Yes, when they can't hold on, it's not too late for us to shout."

"But if the gold bug eats that car..."

"It won't be eaten so fast. It won't be too late for us to shout after they climb into the car."

The leader of the road bandit felt a little bad, the invisible car had too many attack methods, could they really not be able to deal with the gold-eating bugs?If they can't deal with it, they should have left as early as those military vehicles.

"Go and bring those baits." The road bandit leader whispered to the two people around him.

Those two people understood, quickly turned around and ran to call for someone.

Not long after the two ran away, the gold-eating bugs in front suffered a devastating blow. None of the more than a hundred bugs escaped, and all of them were corroded and killed.

Xue Lihong looked at the surveillance screen and asked Cheng Zai, "Are there any gold-eating bugs nearby?"

Cheng Zai's eyes flicked across the screens, and the car intelligence also reminded him, and finally replied: "There are still some, but not here, in a nearby factory. Is this a steel factory?"

"How far is the steel mill from us?"

"It's not too far, only a little over six kilometers."

Xiao Mo guessed, "Could these people be the employees and family members of the steel mill?"

In general large steel mills, because of the large number of workers, the dormitory area is like a functional town.

"It's very possible. According to the previous information, this place is right on the edge of angels and mutated rats. It belongs to one of the safe areas. When the base in City H stabilizes, they will definitely find a way to regain it. A steel factory can allow them to do a lot. thing."

"But now there are gold-eating bugs here."

"Well, but judging from the number of larvae, there were not many gold-eating female worms here at the beginning, maybe there was only one. Strange, does anyone already know the difference between female worms and larvae?" Xue Lihong remembered that she hadn't posted about it News, but there are many mercenaries doing the task of catching and destroying gold-eating bugs, maybe someone has researched something.

Xiao Mo's heart moved, and he thought of another possibility: "Is it also possible that there were gold-eating female insects here, and the recyclers missed one or two."

Xue Lihong immediately reacted, "Do you think the recycler at the base in H City failed to complete the task of retrieving the gold-eating female insects?"

"It's very close to the city H base." Xiao Mo didn't know that none of the previous missions promised had failed.

The system suddenly interjected: "There used to be a recycler in this area, who was confirmed dead, and the recycling training system has... disappeared."

Xiao Mo was stunned, and asked in his mind: "How did the recovery system disappear? You mean!?"

System: "Congratulations, we found another breeder."

Xiao Mo asked with some expectation: "Could it be the one from before?"

System: "Analyzed in terms of region and time, no."

Xiao Mo hurriedly told the news to his friends.

Xue Lihong frowned slightly, but quickly let go, and said in a low voice: "Let your majesty look for the other party's whereabouts, so as to remind you at any time. After another breeder, your majesty, has successfully eliminated another recycler's majesty." Under the circumstances, I think it should not refuse this. This shows that His Majesty the breeder or its breeder is extremely aggressive."

The two did not avoid Cheng Zai while talking.

Cheng Zai heard something, but he didn't pay attention to it, even after Xue Lihong lowered his voice, he didn't hear anything.He didn't ask, but just looked at the surveillance screen and reminded dutifully: "Attention! Those road bandits are chasing those women and children... These bastards!"

Cheng Zai saw the purpose of the bandits and was furious.

Xiao Mo also saw the actions of the road bandits from the car window. When he saw the women walking in front with their children in their arms, the old man in the middle, and the road bandits at the back, his expression darkened.

"Damn these people!" This was the first time he had said such murderous words.

Xue Lihong replied very politely: "Then let them die, one or two are enough."
