The long cut on his back oozed blood quickly. Tao Sai felt the warmth of the blood, and his entire back was dyed red.
She now has a resistance value of 40 points, and the wounds will heal quickly without treatment, but the pain of her flesh being torn apart is real, and the severe pain makes her have a strong desire for revenge.
After lunging forward, Tao Sai quickly adjusted his position, slightly bending his knees and tightening his arches, taking a fighting stance.
She stared at the flying insects, her temples throbbing, and silently took out the T7 pistol from her waist.
The flying insect flapped its wings and hovered three meters in front of Tao Sai, almost at the level of her line of sight. The insect was also staring at Tao Sai.
Buzz buzz buzz...
The flapping frequency of the flying insect's wings is like that of a high-powered drone's rotor, and its flight speed is far beyond the reach of ordinary mature insects.
Its head is dark green with black stripes. The mouthparts in the center of its head are sharp two-petal spikes, which are the weapons that pierced Tao Sai's back.
Tao Sai didn't know if the mouthparts carried toxins. If so, it would need to be treated immediately. But now was not the right time.
The bugs had indeed mutated. Just as the world channel player "Warriors Guard Chris Cannon" had said, the mutated flying insects had significantly increased their speed and destructive power. Most importantly, they had gained a certain level of intelligence.
"Keep an eye out for any other mutant flying insects around here," Tao Sai shouted to everyone in the defensive position, her eyes never leaving the flying insects. "I'll take care of this one."
"Okay, Sister Sai!" Tang Yingxue responded quickly.
She had just spotted the mutant flying insect through the high-powered scope of her electric sniper rifle. It was so fast, so fast that her scope couldn't keep up. Before she could react, the mutant flying insect flew straight at her, shooting towards Tao Sai like a bullet.
Tao Sai breathed silently, trying to calm herself down. Impulsiveness and eagerness for revenge were not conducive to her actions.
She knew very well that the mutant flying insects attacked her because she had just thrown explosive mines continuously in the position, and she was currently the unit that caused the most damage to the insect swarm.
Given the mutant flying insects' movement speed, they will be dodged if you shoot them directly.
We also cannot let everyone open fire at the same time. The insect tide has advanced to the edge of the water tank a few meters away. The commandos' firepower network is struggling to stay in front. If they suddenly turn their guns, even for a few seconds, the delay will most likely change the entire battle situation.
The long-range attack firepower was not enough, so Tao Sai thought of close combat.
She has extensive melee skills, so there might be a chance if she gets close.
In the strange eye contact with the mutated flying insects, Tao Sai silently changed himself to the appropriate skills.
[Teleport] was activated, and Tao Sai suddenly disappeared from her original position. The next second, she appeared behind the flying insect. Almost at the moment of her appearance, the dagger in her hand stabbed towards the flying insect simultaneously.
However, such a smooth and coherent movement was still dodged by the flying insect at a distance of only a few centimeters from it.
[Teleport] was activated again, Tao Sai disappeared, and then reappeared on the flying trajectory of the flying insect. The spring knife and Tao Sai's figure appeared at the same time.
Just as the flying insect was about to hit the tip of the knife, its wings increased their flapping frequency to the limit within one thousandth of a second, and then rose up at a sharp angle, brushing against the blade.
The knife missed again. Tao Sai looked to follow the flying insect but could not find any trace of it in his field of vision.
Tao Sai held the switchblade tightly in his hand, and his heart skipped a beat.
She didn't have time to look around, and her ears caught the sound of the insect's wings flapping. Although she couldn't determine the insect's direction, she rolled forward instinctively and avoided the insect's attack from the side and rear.
The next wave of attack from the flying insects followed closely. Tao Sai had no time to breathe. He activated [Teleport] and directly moved to the maximum distance of five meters.
Tao Sai was panting awkwardly. In her highly tense state, the continuous use of skills and high-intensity movements had almost given her a stitch in the side.
The flying insect was still staring at her. It had no words and no body movements, but Tao Sai could feel its ease.
To put it in terms of gaming, Tao Sai's agility wasn't on the same level as the insect's. From the insect's perspective, her sharp, decisive attacks looked like an old man performing Tai Chi in the park early in the morning, slowed down to 0.5x speed and easily missed.
There is another factor that is not decisive. She just added points to her attributes yesterday, and her body has not fully adapted to the increased attribute points, so her agility will be compromised.
If he wanted to catch up with the speed of the flying insect, he could do so by increasing his agility points. As long as the speeds of the two were at the same level, Tao Sai was absolutely sure that he could kill the flying insect.
But now is definitely not the time to increase points. The flying insect is too fast and can stab her beyond recognition in a second.
Suddenly, Tao Sai's mind moved, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Tao Sai's eyes suddenly became dull, and her figure stood stiffly in place, not disappearing, but another Tao Sai stabbed down from the top of the flying insect.
The spring knife did not stab the flying insect directly, but left a lead time. She was predicting the flight trajectory of the flying insect. The reserved lead time might make up for the difference in absolute speed between the two.
The prediction was correct, but the knife still missed, and the flying insect flashed past the edge of the blade again in a provocative trajectory.
Tao Sai sighed in frustration. If he had left 5 centimeters more lead time, he would have hit the bull's eye.
Just as she was distracted, flying insects shot towards her head.
With a bang, the sharp and sturdy spikes of the mouthparts broke the moment they touched Tao Sai's face.
The insect fell into an uncontrolled concussion, and Tao Sai took the opportunity to swing the knife into the insect's body, pinning it to the ground. Green liquid oozed from the edge of the spring-loaded knife. The insect's wings and legs struggled a few times before stopping.
Tao Sai pulled out a spring knife, raised his leg and stepped down hard, and his tactical boots crushed the flying insects.
Just now, she had actually thought of two plans: one was to leave some lead time to make up for the speed difference. The other was to use slowness to overcome speed. As long as she wasn't careful and revealed a flaw, the flying insect would attack her in less than a second. She only needed to activate [Temperature] and wait for it to hit her body.
This idea was actually a bit risky, but Tao Sai couldn't think of a better way for the time being. Besides, even if she was unfortunately stung by a flying insect, she still had 40 points of resistance to protect herself.
"Are there any more mutant flying insects?" Tao Sai asked.
"I didn't see anything." Tang Yingxue reported that there was nothing unusual in the high-power scope of the electric sniper rifle.
"No." Commando Cheng Li said after checking from all angles.
Tao Sai nodded and asked He Zhaonian into the headset, "Did you solve that one?"
"...It's a bit tricky." He Zhaonian said anxiously.
He just raised the electric light rapid-fire gun and never let go of the trigger after pulling it. Six hundred electric light bullets were fired from the gun continuously per second, following the flight trajectory of the flying insect. Even after the magazine was completely empty, he still didn't touch a single hair of the mutant flying insect.
The attack from the electric gun seemed to further enrage the mutated flying insects. While He Zhaonian was changing the spare magazine, the flying insects stabbed straight at him.
"You guys hold on here first, I'll be back soon." Tao Sai quickly said to her teammates in the position, and then rushed into the small wormhole vortex she had just opened.
In a flash, He Zhaonian realized that it was impossible to escape, so he stretched out his arms to protect his head.
A small vortex appeared out of nowhere, and Tao Sai drilled out of the wormhole and stood in front of He Zhaonian.
The flying insect flew towards him without slowing down, and the moment it touched Tao Sai's chest, its sharp mouthparts broke with a bang.
Tao Sai used the same trick again, inserting the switchblade into the trembling flying insect's torso, nailing it to the ground.
He Zhaonian trembled all over when he heard the sharp and crisp sound, but he did not feel the expected pain.
He stood up and saw Tao Sai stomping down hard, turning the flying insects into powder.
He Zhaonian swallowed, "...Sister Sai?"
Tao Sai said calmly, "You continue to do your work. We can't stay here for long. We need to evacuate as soon as possible. I'm worried there will be more mutated flying insects."
She could deal with two of them separately, but if three or four attacked her at the same time, she would definitely not be able to cope.
"Okay, we're almost done here, give me two more minutes."
After He Zhaonian finished speaking, he quickly returned to his position.
Tao Sai held an electric rapid-fire gun in his hand, and his eyes were like those of a hawk, looking around meticulously to drive away the mature flying insects for them.
Two minutes later, Shi Jiahui and He Zhaonian completed their respective tasks.
"Okay, let's retreat first." Tao Sai said as he activated the skill [Space Jump].
Everyone rushed into the space vortex one after another. Shi Jiahui was the last one to jump into the wormhole. At the last second, she pressed the trigger device of the explosive bomb.
Four seconds later, hundreds of explosive mines buried in different locations were activated simultaneously, and the silted earth piles at the edge of the landslide lake collapsed instantly in the shock wave of the explosion.
Under tremendous pressure, the water broke through the obstruction of silt and the barrier lake successfully burst its banks.
At the other end of the wormhole is the defensive position on the north shore.
They saw from afar that after the landslide lake burst its dam, the raging flood rushed downstream, and the rescue boats in the lake were running at full speed one after another, rushing out along the turbulent water.
In just ten minutes, most of the survivors trapped in the Xiushuixia landslide lake escaped.
Back on the refugee ship, this time the planned action was accomplished relatively smoothly. However, at this moment, there was no trace of relief on the faces of the four members of Hailou.
"Will there be more and more mutated bugs?" Tang Yingxue asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but the mutant insects are so fast that I used up 600 rounds of bullets. Can you believe it?" He Zhaonian found it unbelievable when he thought about it now. With 600 chances, he should be able to succeed even if he was just lucky, even if he just hit the edge.
"The mutated flying insects' mouthparts seem to carry more toxins than ordinary insects." Shi Jiahui said as she was using soda water to clean the remaining toxins from Tao Sai's wound. The neutralization reaction between the alkaline soda water and the acidic toxins was much more intense than she had imagined.
"In general, the mutated flying insects are the all-round evolution of mature insects. They have all the characteristics of mature insects, and they are further enhanced on this basis, especially their speed, which has jumped to a higher level." Tao Sai analyzed calmly.
She paused and continued, "I've directly confronted the mutated flying insects. From my perspective, they seem like monsters from the next stage of the game that have strayed into the Novice Village."
