The drifting city of the last days

The mutated people started to pierce the remaining dozen "silkworm chrysalis" one by one. The stone wall of the cave was drenched with transparent mucus, and the sour smell made people feel nauseous.

Except for their five missing companions, there are also huge grasshoppers, poisonous insects, praying mantises and so on.These things soaked in the mucus showed two diametrically opposed forms. One shell was so thin that it was almost transparent, and all the flesh and organs of the body turned into a translucent turbid liquid like milky water, shining white light. .The other kind is just the opposite. Not only is the body intact, but the surface is also like an armor plated with a layer of transparent film. It is extremely hard, and when it is struck with a dagger, it makes a sound like gold and stone.

Qi Liang and Lan Shan checked the six mutants together. Unfortunately, they all stopped breathing.For the first five mutants who disappeared, the skin of the chest cavity bulged like blisters, and the shadows of ribs and internal organs were faintly visible.

Everyone held a brief funeral ceremony for the six companions. Liang Wen and Li Ji silently took off the silver nameplates around the necks of those people and put them on their wrists, at least to help them take the tokens back.

"Fuck, you actually used such a despicable method to kill people." Li Ji kicked the wall angrily, blaming him for not protecting the skinny man just now!

Qi Liang's eyes switched between the corpses of several mutants and bugs, and then looked at the pile of bones and garbage in the corner, "I guess, this may be a kind of experiment, and the failed products will die or become food," he said. Pointing to the grasshopper and praying mantis wearing light-film armor, "The successful products may have other uses after they emerge from the pupa."

"You said they're not dead yet?" Wu Fei squatted next to the giant grasshopper, staring at it with incredulous eyes. What can this thing be used for?It's not necessarily possible to form an armored army, right?

"Yes, and they should be much stronger than their original state."

"Pfft! Pfft!" Li Ji smashed the heads of the two "successful products" with a knife to vent his anger, with a sullen expression on his face. Since it is a dangerous product, it is better to act first, so as not to jump up and attack them later.

Wu Fei, who was forced to watch the bloody scene from a close distance, jumped up suddenly, almost covered his face with blood plasma, not so disgusting!

"I think it's best to leave quickly." Lan Shan looked around, "If these things are important to the ant colony, they should appear immediately."

Qi Liang blinked. The biggest boss behind the ant colony should be the queen. I hope that what they destroy is only the food of the worker ants, and not something that will provoke the queen to retaliate wildly.

"Withdraw!" Liang Wen briefly issued an order.

"Follow me." Luo Zhen dragged Shao Yunfan, and rushed to the front of the team, running towards the passage they came from.

"Don't rush to run, and be careful not to get bitten." Shao Yunfan turned to remind them that there is no effective way to expel ants, so everyone can only be more careful.

They have personally experienced the speed of the ant colony, and they did not dare to delay. They followed Luo Zhen and the others through the twisted and twisted passage. After a quarter of an hour, they gradually discovered the clue. The complete mark, I want to go back now, naturally I feel like a fish in water.

Liang Wen, who was running in the second echelon, narrowed his eyes and looked at the backs of Luo Zhen and Shao Yunfan. These two are indeed talents, but unfortunately they are not from the military department. It would be great if they could be recruited.

"A secondary mutant was found at about 500 meters away, and it seems to be chasing us." Shao Yunfan warned loudly, his voice buzzing and echoing in the narrow cave.

Luo Zhen shook his hands back without looking back, and a few pieces of ice tightly sealed the entrance of the cave behind and the small holes on the top of the cave.The size of the ants is too small, and the light here is dim, so it is impossible to guard against them.

"I'll leave some gifts for them too." Huo Yun bounced towards the ice layer a few times, and in the middle of the crystal-like ice layer, there were several cherry-like red spots.If they gnaw through the ice, they will be blown to nothing.

"Run faster, run faster, I don't want to see those disgusting ants again." The team that was already tired and slowed down began to run wildly again. What is running compared to facing a raging swarm of ants?

"That's right here." Luo Zhen, who was rushing all the way like a locomotive, stopped suddenly, and the group of guys behind him who couldn't make emergency brakes crashed into each other like candied haws, complaining endlessly. Emergency braking is not allowed on high-altitude highways, okay?

The crowd straightened up with their sore legs and feet, and gathered around him.

Different from the narrow and cramped stone cave they just stepped out of, the cave in front of them was so large and majestic that they even had the illusion that it took several seconds to see the top of the cave when they raised their heads. This height was definitely more than ten floors.If the "storage room" just now felt like a hotel lobby, then they are now in the Colosseum.

The cave is in the shape of an upright spinning cone as a whole, with a round and swollen middle part, and the upper and lower ends converge toward a pointed cone.From top to bottom, large and small holes and cracks are irregularly distributed, and their deep and shallow zigzag black shadow decorative patterns are kneaded together, decorating the cave space.

On the floor of the cave, there are dozens of triangular pyramid-shaped "tents". Their sizes are not the same. The big ones are the size of a bedroom, and the small ones are only half a meter high.All the tents are shining with a faint white light, like a dream in the dark cave.Only the largest tent in the middle was rather gray and lacklustre.

Shao Yunfan gritted his teeth and grabbed Luo Zhen, his brows twitched, his cheeks were hot, and his blood started to bubble like he had drunk Coke again!Every blood vessel is as hot as a red-hot iron, which is the rhythm of boiling a living person.

"Are you okay?" Luo Zhen frowned and looked at Shao Yunfan.

What it is?A few bold and curious ones walked a few steps towards the nearest "tent".

"Be careful, it's full of mutants." Beads of sweat appeared on Shao Yunfan's forehead, and his face was glowing red. He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "25 third-levels, eighteen fourth-levels, and the following The ant colony chasing us is still about 400 meters away." In front of them were nearly half a hundred mutants, and behind them were a large number of mutant ant colonies that made them suffer several times. The situation was not optimistic.

Liang Wen frowned and thought for a few seconds, "Luo Zhen, you and Zhang Junjiu go and get rid of the chasing ant colony first, Shao Yunfan, Qi Liang, and Xia An stay here, and the rest..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white "tent" on the ground burst open suddenly, and many strange-shaped things flapped their transparent wings and flew into the air, staring at them, the group of intruders. direction.They surrounded the only non-luminous "tent" in the middle like guards, forming a circular defensive circle.

Only now did they understand why the size of those "tents" differed so greatly. This was clearly a motley crew.Forget about the ants, there are obviously praying mantises, snakes, mice, and even three people inside!Without exception, they glisten like varnish all over their bodies, and behind them are two pairs of transparent wings that do not belong to them. The corner of the wall is exactly the same.

"What's the matter with those people?" Wu Fei looked at the human compatriots among the mutants in shock, did they mutate into wings?Not only him, everyone was a little dazed!Could it be that these things are the successful products that Qi Liang just mentioned?

"When he disappeared, he was just a second-level animal mutant." Liang Wen's pupils shrank in pain. He knew one of the mutants. It was a soldier he brought out with his own hands. I don't know him anymore!

"I'll deal with the ones in the back. I'll leave it to you first. No matter what, you must last until I come back." Luo Zhen patted Liang Wen on the shoulder. Now is not the time to be in a daze. They must fight with all their strength, only win, not lose!

"Qi Liang and Shao Yunfan stay here, and the rest follow me!" Liang Wen was called back to his senses by Luo Zhen, and his whole body was shocked. Yes, now is not the time to act emotionally. Run in the opposite direction from them, rushing in the direction of the ant colony.

Eleven against 43, the mutated people were instantly surrounded.Huahua waved her green thorny whip and fought with a group of emerald-green praying mantises. Wu Fei was attacked by a few colorful poisonous snakes. My own root system is facing a group of flying ants. Li Ji's opponents are a few grasshoppers with a space leap attribute and extremely developed jumping ability. Huo Yun and Liang Wen are facing the three mutants who are in a strange state. .

"I don't care if they are members of the military or not. Those who are blocking us now are the enemies." Huo Yun waved his five fingers nimbly, with a fierce expression on his face.

"Don't worry, I know who my teammate is." Liang Wen smiled wryly. Meeting his former comrades-in-arms in battle is really a test.

"Crack, crack!" Huahua's thorn whip collided dozens of times with the mantis' "knife and axe claws" within a few seconds, as if hitting a copper wall and an iron wall.On the contrary, it was her whip, which would be cut off by the opponent if she was not careful.

Huahua's pale face clenched her teeth, and she shook her wrist to stretch the thorny whip back to its original shape. The glowing membrane on the opponent's body was too difficult to penetrate.

Wu Shi stared at the white marks on the worms, and couldn't believe that his wind blade had no effect.It's also level four, but he can't split these bugs?Why?

Except for Wu Fei, almost everyone's attacks failed. Those bugs seemed to have added invincible skills, completely painless. Two minutes later, the situation seemed to be overwhelmingly tilted.

"Qi Liang, think of a way." Shao Yunfan slammed into Qi Liang's arm. He is a veritable ant on a hot pot at the moment. Both physically and psychologically, he is suffering, and even the breath he exhales is steam. shaped.

"Catch the king first." Qi Liang blinked and shouted at the people inside, "The tent in the middle might be the queen ant, try attacking her!"

"You stop them, I'll go!" Liang Wen confessed to Huo Yun, and rushed towards the largest tent in the middle.
