Chapter 393: This thing is poisonous
Those flying insects seemed to have a great interest in flesh and blood. The group of people who were originally monitoring Xiang Yu outside the fortress directly became the targets of the flying insects' attack.
Under the siege of countless insects, it was impossible for them to escape.
“Hurry up and find a blanket to wrap yourself in,” the man looked a little panicked, but he still calmed down and looked for a way to survive.
There were only two tents in the camp, and as the team leader, he had his own tent.
Next door were the tents of the dozen or so team members.
But there were too many team members living there, and the smell of blood and flesh was too strong, which attracted swarms of flying insects nearby.
The flying insects flew in through the gaps in the tent. The dozen or so team members who were originally resting in the tent now listened to the buzzing sound outside the tent with some confusion on their faces.
"Did you hear any sound?" A team member sat in the corner, listening carefully.
"I seemed to hear something flying. The sound seemed quite loud."
He was about to stand up, but was stopped by another team member.
"Don't go out yet," a man reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain. Soon, countless flying insects flew in directly through the gap he opened.
"Fuck, what is that? It seems like something flew in, what is this..." The sound of rain covered up the sound of insects flapping their wings.
As a result, the people in the tent had no idea what was happening outside. After the flying insects entered the tent, the first target they attacked was the man who had just lifted the curtain.
They were like locusts, opening their tiny mouthparts and biting the men hard.
Being bitten by a single bug might be bearable, but what if there are thousands of bugs crawling on your body?
A feeling of nausea filled the man's heart, and when he opened his mouth to scream, the insects flew into his open mouth.
The man couldn't help but retching, "Ugh..., save me..."
But at this time his teammates were already unable to take care of themselves. Seeing that more flying insects were flying in from outside, the man hurriedly reached out and pulled the curtain again.
Then he raised his hands and slapped his face. With a few crisp sounds, the insects were slapped to death by him.
But because the bugs kept sucking his blood, his palms were covered in blood after the two slaps.
As if it was a psychological effect, he reached out and scratched his face hard, as if there was something dirty on it.
But the damage the insects brought him was far more than that. The skin at the place where he had slapped twice before, which was stained with the insect corpse, had begun to fester.
From time to time, he felt a burning sensation, and the pain from the wound made him more awake.
"This stuff is poisonous, don't get it on yourself..." He turned and shouted to his companions behind him, but it was too late.
Even though he had closed the curtains, bugs still kept coming in through the gaps.
"Seal these gaps first and don't let those bugs in," someone shouted, and then everyone who could move started to move.
What they didn't know was that they were now in this tent, and in the folds at the top of the tent, densely packed black insect eggs were constantly wriggling.
The drizzle gradually turned into a rainstorm, falling on the top of the tent and flowing in through the gaps. The rain slowly soaked the insect eggs.
After sealing all the gaps in the tent, more than a dozen people breathed a sigh of relief, but several team members were seriously injured and might have to be sent back to the shelter for medical treatment.
"What are these things?"
One team member took off his coat and kept flapping it around, killing all the flying insects that approached him.
At this moment, several people thought that everything was safe. The moment they relaxed, a familiar buzzing sound came from above their heads.
Everyone's scalp tingled, and then they looked up, only to see that since some time ago, the tent above their heads was covered with dense flying insects.
"Run away..." someone shouted from the corner, and then everyone opened the tents beside them in panic and ran straight into the rain.
But there were more insects outside than in the tent. After they escaped from the tent, countless flying insects outside targeted them.
In the eyes of those flying insects, they were just walking meals, and screams continued to be heard from the tent next door.
The team leader hid under the blanket and took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket. "What's the situation over there? Wrap the extra cloth in the tent around yourself and don't expose your skin..."
He gave urgent instructions, but the team members in the next tent had already run away. Except for two almost unrecognizable corpses on the ground and the collapsed tent.
Fortunately, as the captain, his tent was spacious enough so that four people could hide in it without feeling crowded. However, the blankets they wrapped themselves in were not enough.
He was tall and had a blanket for himself. The two women shared one, while the remaining team member tore off the cloth on the sofa bed and wrapped himself in it.
