The Scavengers

Lei Bing stared at the blood mosquito beast outside, with a slightly nervous smile on his face.

They turned back once midway to refuel.The pilots have also changed. The nearly three hours of high-intensity flying and shooting made them urgently need to rest.

Lei Bing could have rested too, but he insisted on taking the initiative to follow.

This time, they were ordered to rescue a provincial technical school that was attacked by more than a dozen blood mosquitoes—there were still more than 300 boarding teachers and students stranded in the school and did not leave the school.

It's a pity that they are too cautious to fire rockets or missiles directly at the blood mosquito beast, because they are afraid of hurting the teachers and students in the school.

The soldiers could only sit on the plane and shoot at the blood mosquito beast with machine guns.

Below, snipers and heavy machine gunners were cooperating with them.

But the blood mosquito beasts would sneak into the school building, and it took more than an hour to kill four of them.

The ground troops followed up the school, but suffered heavy casualties!

Lei Bing's eyes were red, and he urged the pilot to get closer to the school building...

The day finally dawned.

Xiao Mo raised his wrist to check the time, it was 6:02.

In the suburbs outside the third ring road, if it is a non-residential area, few people will appear on the road at this time. Because of the restrictions in the past two days, no one has to go out when there is no need. This makes the broad road quieter than before.

Xiao Mo, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, raised his eyes to see a round of red sun jumping out from the horizon, moved his body, restrained his tiredness, and turned his head to smile at Xue Lihong.

"One last one. We're going faster than expected."

"Not bad." Xue Lihong pressed his shoulder, got into the car before him, and occupied the driver's seat.

Xiao Mo slowed down by a step, and had no choice but to go around to the other side, "Slow down."

"Oh." Xue Lihong said slowly, but his subordinates did not slow down the ignition, step on the clutch, change gears, and accelerate the gas!

They will turn around and return to the vicinity of the Sharp Star Automobile Factory that they left before. There is an old factory that will be demolished but is still in use nearby, and the last target is there.

Within a minute of starting the car, the speed had increased to 1 kilometers.

"Slow down!" Xiao Mo yelled while grabbing the handrail at the top of the car window.

Xue Lihong bared her white teeth and smiled slightly, and stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.

"There's a car ahead! There's a car! Ahhh—!"

Xiao Mo yelled wildly, this lunatic actually raised the car speed to 200!And seeing the obstacle, he didn't slow down the speed, and just made a bend!The car is drifting, right?Damn!Should he be glad that the car is not his?

"Xue Lihong——! You bastard! Even if there are not as many obstacles on the road outside the city as in the city, you can't do this!"

"Shh!"

25 minutes later, the black car flicked and stopped directly outside the gate of the factory.The gates to the factory area were closed and they could not drive in.

"Who?" Unexpectedly, there was someone on duty in the sentry box. A half-old man in his 50s pushed open the door of the sentry box and walked out.

This half-old man has no home, so he lives in a temporary house behind the factory, and usually watches the gate of the factory to make ends meet.

Xue Lihong jumped out of the car, didn't say much to the old man, directly cut the back of his neck with a knife, half supported his body with his wrist, and laid the unconscious old man to the ground.

Xiao Mo got out of the car dizzily, "If this is normal, we'll be in jail several times!"

Speeding, running a red light, forcing a U-turn on double yellow lines, stealing a car, stealing a satellite connection, destroying public facilities, stealing into a restricted area, breaking through an empty door, causing a coma...any one pulled out is enough for them to drink a pot.

"The last one." Seeing that the door could not be opened due to the electronic operation, Xue Lihong turned over and jumped in.

"Yeah, the last one!" Xiao Mo turned around and took the tool bag and miner's lamp, took a deep breath, and followed them inside.It was only after turning over that they realized that they could enter through the small door next to the sentry box.

Xiao Mo chased after her and poked Xue Lihong, "The door is open."

Xiao Mo swore that Xue Lihong's footsteps paused.

"Oh. Where is the bug?" Xue Lihong asked with a boring expression of "don't explain such a trivial matter".

Xiao Mo snorted, and pointed to the old factory building.

"My God! This is the most chaotic factory building I have ever seen."

Following the instructions of the map in his mind, Xiao Mo pushed away a bunch of obstacles, and forcibly cleared out the old lathe that was pressed at the bottom.

The worm got into a bearing inside the lathe, Xiao Mo understood this, and directly dragged the original tool box from the factory building from the side, and removed the exposed connection part of the bearing.

"Did you see it?" Xue Lihong asked standing beside her, looking around to see if there was anything he could use, there was so much rubbish here.

"I see." Xiao Mo turned on the miner's lamp above his head, squatted down, and took out a long clip to catch the gold-eating female insect inside.

As soon as Xiao Mo caught the gold-eating female insect, he felt a sudden tremor on the ground. The shock made his feet unsteady, and his body fell backwards involuntarily.

Xue Lihong supported him from behind.

Xiao Mo quickly withdrew his hand, and took off the gold-eating female insect from the clip.

"What's wrong? Is it an earthquake?" Xiao Mo grabbed the gold-eating female bug and straightened up.

The ground was still shaking, Xue Lihong scanned the inside of the factory, but couldn't find any place to hide.

"Hurry up! Get out of here!" Xue Lihong grabbed Xiao Mo, turned around and ran outside the factory building.

This factory building is too old, and the internal layout is chaotic, and there are many illegal buildings, but the vibration just now has caused many things to fall.

They must not stay here if there are still ongoing earthquakes!

The second wave of earthquake arrived, and this time the tremor was even stronger, and the whole factory building made a "bang-dang" sound.

Xiao Mo held on to the gate and hadn't stood still, when a third, more intense earthquake wave rushed in!

"Be careful!" Xue Lihong violently pushed him far away, and because of too much forward force, she turned several somersaults on the ground.

Behind him, the old factory building collapsed in half.

Xiao Mo was pushed out of the gate and fell and didn't stand up. He crawled forward on the ground, not caring that his palms were scratched and his knees were burning. At this time, the ground shook like waves rolling over. Everything standing nearby fell down.

Xue Lihong was not far from him, moving quickly on the ground with her elbows, approaching him.

"Bug! We need to find that female bug!" Xiao Mo shouted urgently.Just now Xue Lihong pushed him suddenly, he didn't pay attention, and accidentally let the female insect escape from his palm when he fell.

Xue Lihong stopped climbing, and half propped up her body to look around.

Xiao Mo also tried his best to prop up his upper body, he remembered the direction where the bug lost.

"There!" Xiao Mo saw that the bug was crawling towards a crack in the ground.

Xiao Mo was in a hurry, stood up and ran!

"Don't stand up!" Xue Lihong shouted.

It was too late, before Xiao Mo could take two steps, he fell hard to the ground again.

Xue Lihong quickly took out a bundle of thin ropes from her backpack with her backhand, tied a wrench to one end of the rope, then propped up her upper body, waved the end of the rope, aimed at the target, and swung it over.

The wrench blocked the mother worm's way.

The female worm wanted to take a detour, but before she could move much, she was dragged back violently by the wrench.

The female worm soars into the air.

Xue Lihong pressed both hands on the ground, her body jumped out, grabbed the female worm in the air, and rolled to Xiao Mo's side.

"I wipe!" Xiao Mo suddenly roared, hugged Xue Lihong who was rolling over, and rolled to the open space on the right.

A foot-wide crack gradually tore up from the depths of the earth, and quickly tore from the front to the place where Xiao Mo had just left.

"When did our Zhongshan City become an earthquake zone? Our place is obviously a plain area, okay?" Xiao Mo shouted angrily after he had recovered from his shock.

"Don't move, it's not safe for us to go anywhere now, wait for this earthquake to pass first." Xue Lihong said calmly, took Xiao Mo's backpack, and put the gold-eating female insect into a special glass bottle.

Xiao Mo's heart beat fast, he wiped his face, and cursed in a low voice: "You son of a bitch! I don't know how many people will die after this earthquake."

He was extremely worried about his family and Qian Wang, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do now but wait.

After waiting in place for 5 minutes, the remaining power of the earth's anger gradually faded, as if it finally calmed down.

The two supported each other to stand up from the ground, Xiao Mo's heartbeat has not dropped below [-] until now.

Knowing that the phone call might not work, Xiao Mo asked Xue Lihong to take out the satellite phone and call home.

Sure enough, the phone didn't work.

Xiao Mo dialed the phone again without giving up, one by one.

"It's useless. The magnitude of this earthquake is quite strong, probably reaching magnitude [-] or even higher. Can those signal base stations be stronger than the building in front?" Xue Lihong pointed to a building that looked brand new in front of her.

But now that building has been truncated at the middle, with the upper part pressed down, directly changing from a twenty-story building to a two-story building, which is still a dilapidated building.

And the old factory buildings behind them have all collapsed.

The nearby buildings and facilities, big and small, were all damaged. The only difference was that some were so serious that the prototype could no longer be seen, and some were still erected firmly in place.

Many of the vehicles that were forced to park on the road since yesterday were overturned to the ground like toy cars.

A large number of roadside lampposts and trees collapsed.

The low hilly land caved in and a lot of dirt rolled down the road.

On the provincial road not far ahead, a deep black crack runs through east and west.

The disaster ahead cannot be seen, but the black smoke rising in the distance is enough to illustrate the more tragic situation in the city.

Anxiety, worry, worry, fear, the helplessness of not being able to see what lies ahead, the hatred of his own powerlessness, and the pressure that threatens his life every moment, Xiao Mo finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled madly.

"Ahhh-!"

"Why why why! It's all why!"

Xiao Mo's screams were like crying.

Xue Lihong stood still, letting him vent.

This person has encountered too many series of incidents in the past few days, and most of them are unfortunate. It is considered that he has a good psychological quality if he can survive until this time before going crazy.

"Is this a curse? Or is the earth really dying, and we have encountered so many disasters in just a few days?"

Xiao Mo muttered to himself, covered his head with both hands and grabbed a few times, took a deep breath, straightened up and said to Xue Lihong: "Let's go."

Xue Lihong was a little surprised, recovered so quickly?This person's ability to resist pressure seems to be a little stronger than he imagined.

The electric iron fence gate of the factory fell to the ground in a strange shape. The two stepped through the gap and walked outside the gate of the factory.

Dozens of two-finger-wide cracks appeared on the concrete floor outside the gate, but none of them were very long, and there were large and small bulges.

The sentry box collapsed, and the gatekeeper who had been lying on the open space was also awakened by the shock. Seeing the two people coming out, they were still sitting numbly on the ground, as if they were frightened stupid.

"An earthquake..." the gatekeeper murmured.

"I know. You have to be careful." Xiao Mo bypassed him and got into the car with Xue Lihong.This time he didn't compete with Xue Lihong for the driving seat, he didn't think he could still drive in this condition - his legs and hands were still shaking, but the wound was already healing automatically.

"Earthquake! God is angry!" the gatekeeper yelled hoarsely, and no one behind him could hear what he was shouting.

Three minutes later, the sirens of police cars, ambulances, and fire engines suddenly rang throughout the city in an instant.
