Chapter 143

Mutant Beetle Siege

Fang Xin turned the steering wheel and quickly left the base.

There was a seven-seater commercial vehicle waiting at the gate of the base.

Fang Xin rolled down the window and honked the horn.

Yu Keke looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was Fang Xin in the car. She immediately jumped out and ran over.

"Our car is in front, you just follow behind."

"Okay, let's go."

"Okay."

Two cars left one after the other and drove on the deserted road.

Everywhere the eyes go, there is desolation.

After being damaged by earthquakes, washed away by heavy rains, and eroded by acid rain, the roads are in a state of disrepair.

Dense cracks can be seen everywhere on the road surface.

Some cracks are so large that cars cannot move forward and can only go around.

There will also be many ruins blocking the road that you have to go around.

In short, the speed can't be increased at all.

There were other cars passing by from time to time on the road, most of them were people going out on missions.

They drove away from the base gradually, and there were fewer and fewer cars on the road.

Occasionally you can see a few yellow weeds under the stones.

It took them a whole day to drive to the border between City A and City B.

The car in front slowly stopped, and she also slowly stopped.

Yu Keke got out of the car and walked towards her.

She rolled down the window.

"Let's rest here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."

Fang Xin nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

The road was difficult to navigate and it was very dark at night and I couldn't see the road conditions clearly.

Fang Xin heated up some spare ribs and some spicy chicken in the evening.

The aroma wafts far away.

The greedy Yu Keke team was drooling. They chewed the dry biscuits with the aroma of Fang Xin, as if they were eating them too.

The biscuits were a bit stingy in the throat, so they stretched their necks and swallowed hard.

It's not that they can't afford it, but they are reluctant to do so. There is meat for sale at the base, and they only eat it occasionally to improve their diet.

I dare not be as arrogant as Fang Xin.

Fang Xin didn't want to compromise himself, so he ate whatever he wanted.

Besides, there was no one else here, so even if someone else came to rob her, she could beat them.

The man and the dog quickly finished the two large portions of meat and vegetables.

Yu Keke's team was really jealous when they saw that the dog was eating so well.

But although he was jealous, he had no other thoughts in his mind. He tore his gaze away from the man and the dog with great difficulty and looked away. He was not happy at all when he could not see them.

Yu Keke arranged two people to keep watch at night. They set up a tent, and regardless of gender, everyone slept in the tent with their clothes on.

Fang Xin and the dog slept in the car. He laid the back seat down and hugged the dog and fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, the man and the dog opened their eyes at the same time.

After more than three years of space nurturing, the hearing of the man and the dog has become sharper.

She listened carefully to the sporadic noises in the distance, which were approaching this side and did not sound like human footsteps.

It sounded like an insect stepping on the ground.

And there are many of them.

She quickly stood up, put on her night vision goggles, and had a flamethrower in her hand.

The dog also sensed the danger; its hair stood on end and it whimpered softly.

She opened the car door and jumped out swiftly.

"Get up quickly, it's dangerous."

Fang Xin shouted, waking up the man who was dozing off on night watch.

He instantly became alert and looked around vigilantly, only to find that there was nothing unusual.

Doubtfully, "Where is the danger?"

"Don't waste your time, wake them up quickly."

After Fang Xin spoke, Yu Keke stood up and quickly walked out of the tent.

"Xinxin, what's wrong?"

The remaining two team members also walked out of the tent.

"Be on guard."

Fang Xin didn't have time to explain too much, and she didn't know the specific situation because she hadn't seen what it was.

Yu Keke started to get nervous when she heard Fang Xin say this, and she quickly asked her team members to pick up their weapons.

As the sound got closer, Yu Keke and the other three also heard the noise.

They just felt their scalps tingling. What on earth was this thing? It felt like there were a lot of them.

Fang Xin took out a telescope, jumped onto the roof of the car, and looked towards the source of the sound.

Through the telescope, she saw dense swarms of insects rushing towards her quickly.

It has a hard shell that shines like metal, and six saw-like long legs that move quickly.

They are very large, about one finger long.

"It's a mutant beetle. Quick, make a fire."

Most insects are afraid of fire, so if you light a fire, perhaps the mutant insects will not dare to come near.

Upon hearing this, several people quickly moved, some taking firewood. In the evening, several people picked up some firewood to save for cooking the next morning.

I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.

The fire was quickly lit.

As the sound got closer, they finally saw what it was.

It's really a bunch of beetles.

All of them turned pale; they had never seen so many bugs of such size before.

Although Yu Keke was also frightened, she did not panic. "Quick, take out the incendiary bottle we made ourselves."

As the captain, she must not let her emotions control her and must remain calm, otherwise the team members will panic and lose their composure.

They also made some preparations for this mission. Each incendiary bottle was wrapped in thick rags to protect it from being shaken, bumped, or broken by the vehicle.

Upon hearing this, several people quickly threw away their guns and took out Molotov cocktails from the trunk.

The four of them took the lead in launching an attack, throwing the incendiary bottles in their hands into the pile of insects.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and many beetles were swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire.

The smell of burning filled my nose.

But there were too many insects, and many continued to move forward.

One of the male team members was bitten by an insect on his calf and immediately grimaced in pain.

He endured the pain and pulled out the worm, with his flesh being torn off as well.

"Everyone, be careful, this bug bites, don't get bitten." As he said this, he stomped on the bug fiercely and crushed it.

Since their weapons were useless, the four men threw a few Molotov cocktails and then used big sticks to hit the insects.

You can't use incendiary bottles indefinitely, after all, there are only a limited number of them.

Fang Xin held a flamethrower and kept walking around, spraying and burning a large number of insects.

The dog also jumped around, using its two paws to crush the bugs.

It bared its teeth and exerted force with them.

The owner said that this insect is poisonous and cannot be bitten with the mouth.

It stepped on them one by one with its claws, splashing juice everywhere.

Finally, after about ten minutes, all the insects were destroyed.

Several people collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

Panting heavily.

"I was so scared, how could there be such a big bug?"

"I've never seen such a big bug in my life."

"My scalp is tingling after watching it. I even have trypophobia."

Fang Xin noticed that one of the male team members had a bloodstain on his calf.

She walked over and said, "You were bitten by a bug."

The man looked at his calf and said nonchalantly, "Ah, it's okay, it will be fine in a while."

"Generally, mutant bugs are poisonous. We have to force the poison out."
