The Scavengers

On October 10th

Without hesitation, Lei Bing immediately ordered all military vehicles to start and stay away as much as possible.

Xiao Mo asked Cheng Zai to drive, but he jumped out of the car and asked the system at the same time: "If I accept the task, do I have to recover the corpse of the king worm?"

System: "Of course."

"let it go."

System: Even if you don't tell me, I know that you want to leave the king worm's body to that big bastard!

Xiao Mo rushed to Xue Lihong's side in two or three steps, and warned him: "Your Majesty is talking about the corpse-eating dragon worm king worm."

"You go back, this is not something you can handle." Xue Lihong drove him away.

Xiao Mo stood still, "I can protect myself."

"This is a battle between me and the king worm, don't worry about it."

"Little Red?!"

Xue Lihong plunged into the river unexpectedly.

Xiao Mo anxiously asked the system: "How come there are king worms here? Didn't you say that the formation of king worms is very difficult?"

System: "Natural formation is really difficult."

Xiao Mo realized, "You mean who brought the king worm to the earth?"

The system is also very helpless, "In your words, this is a mid-level boss, and it shouldn't appear at this time. As for why it came here, apart from finding mating females that are about to mature, I have to ask you for the rest." That big bastard next to him."

"You mean that the king worm was attracted by Xiaohong?"

"You let him continue whistling and calling, and continue to emit insect hormones. You really think that your genes can suppress all insect races, just his unstable bastard body?" Disdain and ridicule.

"It's fine if it's just the female worm disappearing. At most, this king worm is looking for other female worms to mate with. But when he found that the mating partner was gone, he also found another existence that showed his might. As the king worm, it can It's strange to hold back. The corpse-eating dragon king worm is a more domineering existence than other insect king worms. As long as one king worm appears, another king worm will not appear within a radius of 100 million square kilometers around it. If it appears, it will die forever."

Xiao Mo was dizzy, "Simply put, this king worm that came here also regards Xiaohong as a king worm?"

System (full of joy): "Yes. I suggest you accept the mission. I can release two, so that you can easily recover them all when they fight to the death. If you want, I can give you special rewards."

"Thank you, no need." Xiao Mo stared nervously at Jiang Mian.

"Night eye detector, anti-sneak attack, anti-assassination, anti-climbing bed, automatic alert and safe, can be used alone or installed on the base vehicle. With the night eye detector, any mercenary who goes out no longer has to worry For the problem of night watch, the night eye detector will automatically distinguish the enemy's situation, danger and own people. The furthest accurate detection range can reach three kilometers, including the sky, underground and underwater. The detection objects include living and non-living bodies, which can be set freely. Host, do you really not want one?"

Xiao Mo: "...Have you changed the channel? Or is there a virus in the breeder system you absorbed before?"

The system changed face in seconds: "The leapfrog task of recovering the corpse-eating dragon worm king worm has been cancelled, and the third level task No. 04 is started. Task content: Scavengers Xiao Mo are requested to recover nineteen mutated mad dogs before 11:5 noon on November 12th."

A new task came, but Xiao Mo's heart was all in the river at this time.

A deep whirlpool appeared in one place in the river, and the unmanned ships moored around were pulled by the whirlpool and slipped a little bit.

A fishing boat floating on the river without anchoring was drawn into the whirlpool, and when it was about to reach the center, something jumped out.

With a "click", the bow of the fishing boat was smashed, and the fishing boat was also sucked into the bottom of the whirlpool.

Xiao Mo saw the upper body of a long worm about three meters long. At first glance, this thing really looks like a legendary dragon, but there is no mighty dragon head, only a hookworm head. The head looks like it has no eyes but has a It has a huge mouth and two whiskers on top of its head.

Probably because the head was too ugly, Xiao Mo's first impression of this king worm was very bad, and he always felt a stomachache when he looked at it.

The king worm sank suddenly, as if something was pulling it.

Xiao Mo raised his hand and fired a shot, which was the chemical ammunition gun filled with aqua regia.

Wang Chong swung his upper body vigorously, Xiao Mo's eyes narrowed, and he leaped backwards at the fastest speed.

"Puff puff puff!" Wang Shui was ejected back, and fell to the ground emitting corroded white smoke.

Looking at the king worm again, the skin was not damaged at all.

"Hula!" The water splashed, and the king worm submerged into the river again.

"Your Majesty, what is the weakness of King Chong?" Xiao Mo was thinking about going into the water.

"Energy Nest."

"where is it?"

"The location is uncertain, you have to find it yourself."

Xiao Mo no longer hesitated, Xiao Hong was very strong, but maybe it was because of her genetic instability?As a result, his endurance is very poor. If he consumes too much energy, it is very likely that he will return to the state of a child again, which is too dangerous.

Cheng Zai drove the car back again.

Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai got out of the car and asked him about his situation.

"Xiaohong is now fighting monsters in the river, and I plan to go down to help him. Don't let other people come over, and don't go into the water."

"What's down here?"

"It's the king worm of the bugs we caught before, and its level is completely different." Xiao Mo had already taken off the heavy coat and shoes and socks that would get in the way after entering the water.

Qian Yunkai pulled him back, "Captain, can you swim?"

"meeting."

"How long can you stay underwater?"

Xiao Mo... didn't expect this question.

Qian Yunkai said bluntly: "Captain, your ability is very special, but that is not the same as being able to hold your breath. You can't pass out from lack of oxygen underwater, and you need Boss Xue to come and breathe for you."

Xiao Mo was speechless.

Wang Cheng smiled, "I'll go down to help Boss Xue. I used to practice underwater combat. If it doesn't work, I'll come up immediately. You wait for news up there."

Xiao Mo had no choice but to tell all the information he knew: "The king worm is not afraid of aqua regia, either because its skin is thick or the composition of the secretion from the outer layer of the skin is unusual. I don't know if your attack will have any effect on it."

"Captain, don't worry, I'll just take a look first, so I won't provoke it." Wang Cheng moved his arms and legs, and slowly walked into the river. When he reached his waist, he threw his upper body forward and submerged in the turbid river.

Lei Bing used the communicator to ask them for news, and asked if he should come over to help, but Xiao Mo declined.

The two children also wanted to get out of the car, but Xiao Mo stopped them. "Cheng Zai, drive the car farther away, don't come here unless I tell you!"

"Oh!" Cheng Zai and Er Xiao reluctantly left.But they also knew that they would not be of much help if they stayed, and would be easy to hold back, so they retreated to Lei Bing's side together.

Time passed bit by bit, during which Wang Cheng came up once, panting and told them: "Their speed is too fast, I can't catch up with them. And that king worm is not afraid of my gun at all, the energy bullet hits On it, it hurts at most."

"Have you seen Xiaohong?" Xiao Mo asked anxiously.

Wang Cheng nodded and shook his head again, "He seems to be pestering that king worm to prevent it from going ashore. I always feel that the worm is more powerful after it lands, and Boss Xue probably wants to deal with it in the water."

Xiao Mo asked the system again: "The king worm of the corpse-eating dragon worm is better in the water than on the shore?"

"The corpse-eating dragon worm does not like water. This king worm will come from the river, and it is likely that it lived on a big boat. This is a king worm that has just woken up and is hungry. I speculated earlier Wrong, it came here not only to find the female worm to mate, but also to look for food. When the king worm of the corpse dragon worm accumulates energy, it often devours the female worm in the production period. This is why it senses the existence of the big bastard The reason for rushing over so quickly, apart from being intolerable, the most important thing is that it needs the same level of food to replenish its energy."

So this is still a scumbag in the insect world?Female spiders and praying mantises eat males in order to accumulate nutrition and give birth to offspring, but this corpse-eating dragon worm eats its pregnant wife just to accumulate its own energy?It's really scumbag to treat your own children as food!

Xiao Mo shook his head, shaking out some messy thoughts.

Could he just stand here and wait?If Xiaohong fails...

"Your Majesty, is there any ready-made method so that I can fight without drowning in the water for a long time?" Xiao Mo couldn't think of a way and could only ask the system for help.

The system did not answer immediately.

Xiao Mo was heartbroken, "What are you waiting for? Waiting for Xiaohong and Wang Chong to die in battle? You should understand that if Xiaohong dies, people like me will never live long. It's not that I look down on myself, but my My character and way of doing things are destined to be a cannon fodder."

system:……

Xiao Mo, "With the base car, I will definitely not be able to refuse those people who can't get through on the road and during the mission. I will ask them to get on the car and bring them back to the Zhongshan base. Time and time again, maybe which time I will It will fall. And Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai will gradually feel tired because of my "good intentions". Can they help me once or twice, can they help me permanently? No, they will only be disappointed in me. But Before that, I probably gave up on myself and let another personality take charge. Do I need to wish you a happy cooperation with him first?"

System: Too bad, through analysis, it can judge that this passage is 100% not a threat.

"Can't you be more aggressive? Knowing that you are a cannon fodder, why can't you be more ruthless and tough?"

"It depends on who it is for." Xiao Mo said this, and his heart suddenly became clear.He smiled and said: "I am a person who is used to living for others. In the beginning I appeared for Zhen Xiao Mo and occupied this body for Zhen Xiao Mo. Now I am unwilling to give up this body for Xiao Hong, and I also For Xiaohong, I want to live and change myself."

"Somebody needs me," he said, "and I need him."

Before, he always felt that his life was a little unclear, even a little inferior, like a person without roots.So he is very concerned about what others think of him, and has always allowed himself to live a life of rules, trying not to let himself do wrong things.

But now he feels that he has roots, and his roots are in that big bastard named Xue Lihong.

Xiaohong is the person in the world who values ​​him the most and needs him the most, so let him live for him.Although such a thought is very humble, but he is a humble existence in the first place.

Perhaps it might be easier for someone like him to live alone for one person?

The system thinks the host is so stupid.You can live for a big bug bastard, why can't you live for a system that can upgrade and learn by itself, and is destined to achieve great things in the future?

For the first time, the system felt a very mixed emotion.This is emotion, right?

The system started a habitual self-check again, and it felt that its central program was a bit uncomfortable.

At the same time as the self-check, the system didn't know what went wrong, so it said dully: "You have already mentioned the solution."

i already mentioned?what is itAfter all, Xiao Mo wasn't too stupid, he was just in a hurry and didn't think of it all at once.But when he recalled his words, he immediately thought of the point.

"Cheng Zai! Quickly, drive the car back! No, there's no need, you and the others all get out of the car, go to Lei Bing's first, and let the car drive over by itself."

Cheng Zai paused for a second, "Captain, don't worry, let me come with the car, otherwise it will be too eye-catching, I will let the others get off the car."

Xiao Mo was in a hurry to use the car and did not veto Cheng Zai's opinion.

After a while, Cheng Zai drove the car back.

Xiao Mo asked Cheng Zai and Wang Qian to wait on the bank of the river, and he wanted to drive down the river.

Cheng Zai stopped him again, "I'm with you. I don't know as much about the functions of this car as you do, but you are definitely not as good as I am about the special features. Brother Wang and Forensic Doctor Qian are not yet familiar with the vehicle's operation interface, so they are responsible for responding on the shore. Us, captain, do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Xiao Mo slapped his head, he is not smart, but he has the advantage that he can listen to people's words, "Sorry, I was wrong, I will listen to you!"

Afterwards, Wang Qian and the two stood on the shore and saw with their own eyes that Sao Bao's base car turned into a vehicle like a submarine within 5 minutes.

The base vehicle slowly sank into the water.

Xiao Mo asked the car to scan the river water to find traces of Xuelihong and Wang Chong, but the car's external scanning ability is not high, and the visibility of the river is low, so only some shadows can be seen on the screen.

"Fuck!" Cheng Zai suddenly yelled, "How big is this fish? So there are still such big fish in our river? I thought the ecological environment was destroyed, and this kind of big fish can only be seen in the sea."

The picture is not clear, and Xiao Mo is not sure what those long bright spots are, "It may not be the original ecology, maybe it is a mutated fish. Try not to disturb them, look for creatures that are more than three meters high, the one I saw just now The king worm should be more than three meters long."

Xiao Mo asked Cheng Zaishi to remove the unqualified spots.

Ten minutes later, the Xiao Mo observation base vehicle was nearly three kilometers away from the place where it was launched.

"Brother Xiao, I found it! Come and see, is it them?" Cheng Zai waved his hand, signaling Xiao Mo to come and see.

Xiao Mo hurried to Cheng Zai's side, "Let's see!"

On the screen, a pair of long light spots staggered together, merged and separated from time to time.When separated, it can be seen that one light spot is large and the other light spot is small.

"It's probably them, let's go! Quick!"

Xue Lihong has been luring the king worm away.

He could feel that this king worm was very powerful, completely different from the ordinary corpse-eating dragon worm before.

He may not be able to beat this big bug.He didn't want his boss and the whole scavenging team to become this worm's extra meal. To deal with this king worm, he only thought of one way, which was to grind it slowly, and see if no one could stand it first.

Xue Lihong also tried to hug the opponent's tail and bite, but his invincible sharp teeth hit a wall on the king worm.However, he also managed to annoy the king worm, chasing him—mainly because he went up to take a bite from time to time.

Time passed vaguely in the water, and he didn't know exactly how much time had passed, but he was beginning to feel tired.

And the king worm became more and more irritable.

He has nothing to do with the king worm, and the king worm's claws, long whiskers, poisonous mist, etc. have little effect on him.

Especially the king worm seems not quite used to fighting in the water, it always wants to leave the water and go to the shore, but how could Xue Lihong agree?

This thing is very poisonous at first glance, every time the poisonous mist sprayed from its mouth can poison a large number of aquatic organisms, but because the water spreads poison faster than air, the poisonous mist has dispersed before it reaches him.

However, this big worm can devour those poisoned aquatic creatures along the way and replenish energy anytime and anywhere, but he cannot.

Hmm, I kind of miss my boss.

Xue Lihong took out a third-level energy crystal and put it in his mouth, and he began to concentrate his strength on his hand.

His hands began to mutate, his fingers merged, and his palms turned into blades. At this time, if anyone saw the changes in his arms, he would definitely think that this person had transplanted a giant mantis arm on his arm.

Xue Lihong wanted to make a hole in Wang Chong's body, not many, just one.The king worm wanted to get into his body, and he thought so too.

This king worm is powerful, but it is also full of temptations for him!He had a hunch that this big bug had something he needed, no matter what he wanted to get it!

"Oh!" You can't be careless, but the cut was cut first.

At this time, the king worm also spewed out a large number of small insects from its mouth. These small linear insects moved forward in the water with a strange speed.

Depend on!It can even spray bugs!

Xue Lihong missed Xiao Mo more and more. If Xiao Mo was by his side at this time, as soon as his hand touched him, the wound on his body would disappear, and naturally he didn't have to worry about these little bugs finding a gap to sneak into his body.

But isn't his boss not here now?No way, only the second set of solutions can be used.

Xue Lihong gave up protecting the wound, and only kept attacking a certain point of the king worm.This is the key point of ordinary corpse-eating dragon worms. I don't know if this king worm is the same?

A small bug hit Xue Lihong's side, and followed the fainted blood to find the wound.The nematodes, about two centimeters long, burrowed into the exposed wound on Xue Lihong's upper arm.

One worm came in, two, three, and in a short while, hundreds of nematodes gathered on the wound on Xue Lihong's upper arm. People with weak hearts really can't watch the scene of swarms of worms rushing in. !

But Xue Lihong seemed to be waiting for this moment, when there were enough bugs, he snorted and stuffed them all into his mouth.

The worms still wanted to burrow into his mucous membrane and throat, but Xue Lihong's mouth and throat had undergone huge mutations at this time, and the worms that got in quickly turned into blood as soon as they came into contact with the secretions in Xue Lihong's mouth. A puddle of water.

Seeing that the worms he sprayed out were eaten, the king worm was furious, and then sprayed out a second wave of worms.These worms were a bit bigger, and their appearance and performance also changed a little. After they burrowed into Xue Lihong's wound, they were able to corrode the wound.

Xue Lihong bared her teeth in pain, pulled the worms off and stuffed them into her mouth again to replenish her energy.

But this method may not be used a few times, there is no way, who told him that the inside of his body is very fragile?Variation and instability?

Look, he obviously wanted to turn his palm and fingers into a drill-like worm body, but in the end it turned into a praying mantis arm.How embarrassing!

The energy crystal in the mouth has been quickly digested, and the mutant body consumes a lot of energy.However, his praying mantis arm was not completely useless. After he slid it down tenaciously and tenaciously, the king worm's body finally made a small cut for him.

Xue Lihong insisted on inserting her blade-shaped fingers, drew out a piece of tender meat, pulled it out, and ate it!

The King Worm let out a silent roar, and more little bugs spewed out from his mouth.

This time Xuelihong was almost surrounded by small bugs.

This is a tug-of-war. When each other's body toxins and various attack methods are useless to each other, and they cannot get rid of each other and want to kill each other. To put it bluntly, it is to see who eats who first!

It was at this time that Xiao Mo arrived in the base car, and when he saw the miserable scene of Xue Lihong almost surrounded by bugs through the external camera on the car, his heart was broken!

In an instant, Boss Xiao's eyes turned red!Without further ado, he manipulated the machine gun to shoot the king worm.

Cheng Zai held him tightly, "Brother! Brother Xiao! Calm down! This is underwater, and our weapons cannot be used underwater for the time being! We use net bags and wire mesh! Take Brother Xue back first!"

"No, I'm going out."

"What?!"

"There is a portable oxygen mask in the car, and I should be able to support myself in the water for half an hour with it on."

"That's different, more oxygen is used underwater, this requires special training, and underwater pressure... Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Mo has already decided that he really can't watch Xiao Hong being devoured by so many bugs, the big king insect can't stop spraying poisonous mist and whipping Xiao Hong, looking at Xiao Hong as if she was bullied to death!

This made him unbearable for even a second!

"When you shoot the wire mesh, remember to put Xiaohong in a separate isolated space first, because there are too many bugs on him."

"I know, Brother Xiao, wait..."

Xiao Mo couldn't wait any longer, went to the warehouse to get an oxygen mask, and asked the car intelligence to open a water tank to let him out.

Xue Lihong, who was fighting for stamina with King Chong, twitched his mouth when he saw the base vehicle appear.Well, even he forgot that the base vehicle can also fight underwater, but because he didn't expect that there are not many weapons in the vehicle that can be used for underwater warfare.

Xue Lihong was thinking about how to use the reserves in the base vehicle to deal with the king worm, while tearing the king worm's wound more quickly.

And the little bug that got its head into his wound was also desperately trying to get its whole body into it.

The king worm howled silently, and the body of the long worm shook the river water more and more turbid.

With an oxygen tube in his mouth and an oxygen bag on his back, Xiao Mo swam towards the king worm with all his strength.

Just as Xue Lihong tore out another piece of king worm tender meat and was about to put it into her mouth, she accidentally saw a mermaid swimming towards this side.

Click, the worm meat fell into the mouth.

Xue Lihong is entangled.When the boss came, he had the power of immortality.But he still has to be distracted to protect the boss, so the ending is hard to say.

Just when Xue Lihong thought Xiao Mo was swimming towards him, she saw Xiao Mo's body drifting further and further away from him, and his boss actually swam towards Wang Chong's head!

Wang Chong has no way to deal with Xue Lihong, who can't be bitten, punched, or poisoned, but can't deal with Xiao Mo?

Before Xiao Mo could swim in front of it, the tentacles on the top of Wang Chong's head poked down gently.

Xiao Mo's chest was pierced!

King Chong didn't take it seriously when he stuck Xiao Mo. During this time, it hunted many prey like this, all of them were incredibly weak, and they were not as fast as those big fish escaped. Basically, the only way to fall into the water was to be stuck by it. Roll it up and eat it in your stomach.

This is also the reason why it came from the water. It feels that the food in the water is easier to catch. Sometimes, as long as it sucks its mouth, a lot of food will pour into its mouth.

This time, it also sent the inserted prey to its mouth...it got stuck!

The prey, which it thought was certain to die, kicked its teeth and refused to enter its mouth!

How is this possible?

Another tentacle waved over and stabbed, piercing the prey again.

Xue Lihong saw this scene clearly from below!

He knew the boss' purpose, but!Then he must be able to bear it!

Xue Lihong exploded!He originally wanted to grind slowly.But my boss (wife) has been tied into a skewer, and the one who can take care of the enemy is a god!

Boss Xiao risked his life to finally find the king worm's energy nest, but the energy nest was not in the head?How is he going to get down?

At this moment, the king worm suddenly trembled violently, and it flung Xiao Mo away with all its strength.A big gash was ripped out of its abdomen!

"Hoo!" A whip-like tentacle wrapped around his waist and dragged him underwater.

"...Xiaohong?" Xiao Mo's eyes hurt from the dirty river water, the "person" in front of him is really his family, Xiaohong?Regardless of whether it looks like it or not, it feels like it should be repaired first!

"Crack." A mouthpart the size of a baby's fist shot out from Xiaohong's mouth, and it stamped his mouth.

The eye membranes like compound eyes blinked twice, as if greeting him.

"Shua." Xiao Mo's whole body was wrapped in a transparent membrane.If you look closely, the membrane looks like the wings of some kind of insect.

The snow mutated worm with his boss in his arms rushed towards the king worm... the wound on his abdomen!
