At Captain Liu's command, all the team members pulled the trigger.
Da da da.
Bullets rained down on the swarm of insects.
Insects were constantly being smashed, turning into puddles of foul-smelling slime.
Lu Yuan had no weapons, so he could only take out a polymer plastic box from his backpack and wait for an opportunity.
This box may look very thin, but it is exceptionally sturdy. It was made by Qiao Ya in the dimensional space that Lu Yuan found.
Upon hearing the gunshot, the insects sprinted towards the stairs.
However, a tidal wave of bullets struck them, turning the insects into a pile of minced meat before they even got close.
When Lu Yuan saw them firing at the insects without regard for cost, he immediately frowned: "Don't you care about the supply of bullets?"
Captain Liu then realized his mistake, so he quickly ordered the team to split into several groups to fire in order to prevent the bullets from being wasted.
Then, he turned to look at Lu Yuan, feeling embarrassed.
Lu Yuan could tell from his pale face that he was terrified by these insects.
Then, the other person asked, seemingly bewildered, "What do we do next?"
"Sigh, if possible, let's call for reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, right now, call for troop support immediately. I'll call for troop support right now."
After saying that, he quickly took out a portable radio from his backpack and pressed the communication button to call for help.
About ten minutes later, a response finally came from the other end of the microphone.
After hearing this, Captain Liu was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He quickly explained the situation he had encountered.
When the military heard about the situation, they first offered words of comfort and said they would report the matter to their superiors and then reply after receiving notification.
Captain Liu put the microphone aside with a helpless look: "Damn it, this kind of report will probably take at least half an hour. How many bullets do we have left?"
So everyone began to report their own situations.
Fortunately, they each carried enough ammunition to reach three basic units.
Such a large quantity of pills is enough for them to continue for a long time.
But the number of insects outside seems frighteningly large, seemingly endless, and no one knows how long it will take to fight them.
At that moment, one of the team members suddenly lit a fuel bottle.
With a loud bang, the temperature in the entire room rose several degrees.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to burn these insects!"
The crowd parted to make way for them.
The other person picked up the lit bottle of gasoline and threw it downstairs.
With a loud bang, the fuel bottle exploded.
A fire instantly erupted, and the insects squeaked and squeaked before fleeing in droves.
A look of astonishment appeared on everyone's face.
The next second, Captain Liu roared, "Find out everything that can burn! Insects are afraid of fire!"
So the group immediately split into small teams and began demolishing each locked office.
Soon, dozens more barrels of fuel were brought out.
In reality, it wouldn't be a problem for a dozen or so people to guard this small staircase.
These beetles can't fly or climb walls. They just walk along flat surfaces. When they encounter slightly higher steps, they have to act as stepping stones for the other beetles to climb up first.
So all they had to do was lay the fuel on the stairs, light it, and they could hold out for a while.
So everyone quickly poured the fuel onto the stairs and then lit it.
The flames that started burning caused the temperature in the room to rise several degrees, making everyone feel hot and bothered.
Seeing the black beetles trapped behind the flames, Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea: "Do you have any rope? I'm going to get one of the beetles up here to study it!"
One of the soldiers pulled an emergency fishing line from his pocket, something they all carried in their first aid kits.
These things are basically needed for survival in the wild, but nowadays they are almost impossible to use for fishing.
However, these items are only symbolically packed in a portable backpack. The fishing line is very strong and can be used for large things, but only for fishing.
After searching his body for a long time, Lu Yuan found a piece of protein, which he had obtained when he set off with the army.
Lu Yuan didn't eat a single bite of this thing, mainly because he couldn't stomach it. Now he's using it as fishing bait to see if he can catch a few beetles.
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with curiosity.
Lu Yuan slowly lowered the object down, and the beetles below, smelling the protein block, went berserk and began to pile on top of each other.
Finally, two beetles managed to grab the block of protein with their sharp claws.
They bit and tore at each other relentlessly, refusing to let go for a moment, and at that moment Lu Yuan suddenly pulled up the fishing line.
One beetle squeezed too hard and crushed the protein block, leaving only one beetle inside.
It used its huge mouthparts to clamp onto the fishhook, which allowed Lu Yuan to pull it up. The protein block had already been completely devoured by the two beetles.
Upon seeing the beetle, the group quickly grabbed it to prevent it from injuring anyone.
Fortunately, the beetle was unprepared and caused no damage.
After carefully inspecting the beetle and placing it in the box, I noticed that once inside, the beetle was frantically scratching around, sensing the danger of becoming a test subject.
It frantically waved its six arms, crawling back and forth inside the box, making a grating, ticklish sound that sent shivers down your spine.
The group began to conduct various tests on the beetle.
The first step was to test its strength. Lu Yuan brought a portable pressure plate and tested the opponent's claws.
Only then did they realize that the beetle's claws possessed formidable power, even capable of carving a hole in the surface of the iron plate, demonstrating just how large the beetle was.
Let's try its pincers again. I didn't expect that its pincers were so strong that they could cut through thin sheet metal. Such powerful strength is something that no insect in the human world has ever seen before.
Everyone felt it was terrifying.
I have a new understanding of this insect.
The fire on the stairs slowly began to die down, and the insects became restless again.
After the soldiers replenished their fuel, they continued to call for help.
