The way home

"Let's go take a look." King Kong said, looking at the computer screen.

"Okay, be careful, this city looks a bit weird, come back if something goes wrong. Lanzi don't be naughty, everything depends on King Kong." Qu Xiao said looking at Lanzi who was eager to try.

"Understood." Lan Zi replied, but her eyes rolled.

Forget it, anyway, there is no danger with King Kong watching.

Lanzi and King Kong flew out, they had cameras on their bodies, and Qu laughed that they were watching the situation inside the car.

This is indeed a ghost city, and there are no people or zombies on the streets.Lanzi and King Kong went into the residential building to have a look, but they didn't find any living or moving people.Everything is empty, but judging from the images sent back from the camera, the whole city looks a little dirty, as if covered by a layer of sand, and the wind that blows from time to time also brings a wave of sand.

"Look at the ground, it seems to have been washed by water. Could it be because of too much rain?" Wang Weiwei pointed to a ground and said.

"No, even if there is a flood, it is impossible for all the people to disappear."

"Did you find a problem?" Mo Fei asked with a frown.

"what?"

"There don't seem to be any dead bodies in this city. It's clean."

"Yes, that's true. There are no corpses. Why?" Wang Yi asked.

"Let Lanzi and King Kong come back, let's leave quickly, this place doesn't seem so good. The energy we need is not here." Qiu Yi quickly made a decision.

"Okay, that's it." Qu Xiao nodded and gave orders to Lanzi and King Kong.

It's not that they are timid, but that this situation is too weird. They passed through many cities or villages and towns, and there were also empty places where people ran away and zombies were wiped out, but no matter what, they would stay. It is too dangerous to lay down the corpse and leave traces, but there are no traces here.Facing the unknown is the scariest thing.

Lanzi and King Kong are back, they are on the road quickly, it is already morning, and the weather is hot again.However, for the sake of safety, they did not stop, and drove directly to the mine outside the city, where there are a large amount of iron ore and associated rare earths.These two kinds of minerals are very much needed by Qu Xiao. Although iron is very easy to obtain, it is not what Qu Xiao needs. What he needs is a specially refined steel, which must be obtained by himself. Heavy rare earths are found here.

Coming to the mine is the same as the city, there are no people or zombies.

"Let's stay outside." Qu Xiao sighed.

They drove the car halfway up the mountain, and Qu Xiao released the mining robot. This is a necessary thing in his space, and it was originally used for mining in outer space.It is a bit overkill to use it here.

After setting the program, the two mining robots determine the minerals to be mined and start working. They don't need to take care of this process. If it goes well, the required amount can be mined in two days.

The sun was hanging high, it was impossible to stay outside, and everyone didn't dare to go to sleep, half and half were on guard.

A day passed, and there seemed to be no movement. When night came, everyone became more energetic. These days are black and white, and everyone is used to it.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Jian Bai made wontons, and everyone sat at the table eating supper. Suddenly, the bowls on the table began to vibrate one by one, and their bodies also felt the vibration.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Yi asked, his body jumped up and rushed towards the monitor.

"Like an earthquake."

Mo Fei quickly climbed onto the roof of the car and looked outside. The others were also in their positions, standing in combat positions, ready to deal with emergencies.

"What's that?" Qu Xiao suddenly pointed to an image on the screen.Then without waiting for him to move, the satellite image was automatically transformed on the screen, only to see that Sika City seemed to come alive, with long tentacles everywhere, and it was the same in the mine not far from here, but it was a little less than Sikacheng. .

"It's disgusting. What is this?" Wang Weiwei saw the impact from the outside through the holographic screen in the car, and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"I don't know, that tentacle looks like a magnified earthworm."

"Run, it's coming to us." Mo Fei jumped down from the carriage, closed the window and yelled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Bai had already started the car, and the car ran directly to the opposite direction of the city.

Bang bang—the car vibrated a few times, obviously hit by a tentacle.Then the car stopped moving.

"It was caught. Its mouth is so big. We were swallowed." Jiang Sen, who was behind the carriage, said with some horror. Qu Xiao looked back, and there seemed to be red flesh on the windows on both sides, and the car tilted up from behind. , should have been swallowed.

"Burn it with fire."

Jiang Sen fixed his body on the car, slammed open the back window, and threw several oil drums that Qu Xiao had thrown to him into the monster's mouth, and it could be that a ball of fire hit the oil drum directly.Jiang Sen quickly locked the window, loosened his seat belt, and rushed forward.

Boom——The impact of the explosion pushed the car forward hundreds of meters. Everyone was ready to fasten themselves to the seat belts on the car, and they were not injured. Only Jiang Sen rushed over, and was killed by Qiu Yi and Mo Fei. Hold tight.The carriage is somewhat deformed and two pieces of bulletproof glass are broken.

Jian Bai reacted very quickly, the car landed on the ground, and rushed out almost without stopping.

Qiu Yi and the others lay on the back window and saw that tentacle was burning. The other tentacles seemed to shrink a little. During the burning, something flew out of the tentacle. It was not very clear under the night, but one was closer, and everyone still wanted to see it. I saw it, it was a skull.

The car drove for more than ten miles and stopped when the monster was no longer seen. Everyone was in shock.

"What kind of monster is that? It's terrible. It actually swallowed our car. It's terrible." Jiang Sen saw the most clearly just now, the entire rear compartment was swallowed by the monster.

"If it's shrunk down a bit, it looks a bit like an earthworm when viewed independently." Fang Qiang said while hugging Fatty.

"Are they variants of Qiu Yi?"

"Probably."

Qu Xiao communicated with Hua Yun over there, and the satellite images kept flashing on the screen. The main body of this monster should be under the city of Xika, but its body is so huge that it occupies the entire city and even A mine more than ten miles away.Even if that city is a very small city, its body is too big.

"How did he grow so big?" Jiang Sen asked standing behind Qu Xiao.

"He ate a city of zombies and humans."

Everyone collectively fought a cold war.

"What to do? Our robot is still there. It won't be swallowed by it too."

"No, they are still operating normally, and they are even mining. That monster didn't touch them. Its food should be humans or zombies." A message from Hua Yun came through the earphones, Qu Xiao frowned, "Go out first Looking at the car, there seems to be something wrong with the rear.

Everyone went out and saw that the entire back of the car was covered with a white transparent mucus, and it was also on the last four wheels, and it was corroded.

"Why don't you wash it with water to see if it's okay? If it doesn't work, use fire. We can't let it erode any longer."

The water doesn't do much, but this thing is very flammable, and it ruined all the wheels behind it.Fortunately, when they came out, they got a lot of wheels of this model.

After the car was repaired, it was already morning. From the satellite images, this monster retracted into the ground when the sun came out in the morning. Judging from yesterday's situation, they would not come out during the day. Several people discussed it. Braving the sun and returning to the city, everyone checked carefully this time, and they found some clues. There was a white shell-like thing in the city at a distance. It is where the monsters come out, and there is such a hole every other distance.

"This should be a monster. Although the body is bigger, it is indeed just one." Qiu Yi pointed to the holes on the ground, even if they were not particularly rigorous, obviously those holes were regular.

"You mean its body stretches over the entire city? Isn't that too exaggerated?" Everyone couldn't believe it.

"I agree with Qiu Yi, this is a monster." Mo Fei nodded.

"What shall we do?"

"Destroy it. It must be destroyed." The thing was now the size of a city.If you continue to develop, you don't know what to do?

"Okay, then we need to study it carefully." Could it be a savior, but such a monster must not be allowed to survive.So he agreed with Qiu Yi's opinion.

"Let's observe first." Qu Xiao said, taking out a bunch of small monitors from the space.Then press on the outside of some holes.

After everything is done, Qu Xiao looked at the time, "There is still a while, go and see what supplies are available, so far, the city is very safe."

This city is a city attached to a mine, and it is not very big itself. However, due to the development of grassland tours in recent years, there have been some changes. The biggest changes are the large supermarkets and specialty shopping malls established in the city center.

Obviously, this monster's food is only human beings, and it's the same when it becomes a zombie. It has no interest in other things.So everything in the big supermarket is still there, but from the white shell-like substance brought up from the ground, it can be seen that it has been scraped by it, and there will be no more living things.

Perhaps because of the attack, the supermarket is a bit chaotic, and many things are unusable. This supermarket is different from the mainland supermarkets. Most of the products here are Inner Mongolia specialty products, such as beef jerky and cheese, as well as Inner Mongolia milk wine and milk tea, and special honeydew melons. Milkmelon sauce pickles, unpackaged items have been broken in the past few months, items with packaging bags have a long shelf life, and there is no problem at all.It's a pity that those refrigerators are not working, the lamb and everything in it are ruined.

They also found some imported materials from the north, as well as a lot of fur products, even high-quality leather, which are all good. Qu Xiao thought that some leather might be of great use because of the weather this year. Put away all the winter clothes and furs, these may save lives in the future.I also saw these things, thinking that because of the cold weather here, the clothes to keep out the cold are better than those in the inland, so I simply took everyone to harvest a handful of them, and the harvest was quite good. There are still many places in the whole city that they have not visited, but they Had to retreat.Night fell again.

This time they went in another direction, and they observed yesterday that there were no monster tentacles here.

Because of the monitor, they could see very clearly this time. They saw those tentacles protruding from the ground. Each tentacle was very long, 30 meters long, and each tentacle had a head. They couldn't see it. Eyes, no teeth, the mouth looks small, a bit like an anteater, sniffing and eating, but obviously very elastic.After the monster came out, hundreds of tentacles kept moving. After about an hour, it suddenly became quiet and stopped moving.

"What happened to them?" Wang Yi was very puzzled.

"I don't know." Qiu Yi answered casually.

"There is a situation." A satellite image suddenly appeared on the screen. Five kilometers away from the city, a convoy of two vehicles appeared and was heading this way.

"Oops. Find a way to notify them!" Wang Weiwei squeezed the sofa.

"Can Huayun contact the opposing team?"

"No, their fleet doesn't have any wireless equipment."

"Why don't I go?" King Kong said suddenly.

"Okay——" Before Qu's joke was finished, a hole appeared in the ground behind the convoy on the camera, and a tentacle protruded from it. At the same time, several people appeared around the lane.They have entered the siege.He took a closer look at these tentacles and they turned out to be mines.There is no movement over there now.

"It's too late." Mo Fei sighed.

While speaking, two tentacles protruded quickly, swallowing the two cars in one go, and everything happened before their eyes.

"It must be destroyed."

"Let's set it on fire. How much gasoline do we have?"

"enough."
