Li Sa sighed softly: "No tricks will work anymore. I think they are dead."
"Ah, what's going on?" Yao Feier controlled the monitor and looked down. Although the rain was a bit heavy and the images captured by the equipment were a bit blurry, the infrared sensor found no abnormalities for the time being.
Li Sa said: "There is a group of things with a brain wave energy of about 5 that is moving quickly towards the three people. Maybe it is some kind of insect with social organization ability. One or two alone are not scary, but there are too many, and these people can't Know if it can hold up.”
Yao Feier expressed her position: "If they can't guard against it and want to enter the cave, I won't let them in. What do you think?"
Li Tianya was a little hesitant. He was always enthusiastic, especially towards other newcomers. The bearded man is a bad guy and the sinister-looking man doesn't look like a good guy. The thin woman is obviously being coerced. Shouldn't we help her out of her misery?
"I agree with Dr. Yao. What's more, as long as there is a hole in our protective net, it will be difficult to control people or insects."
Yao Feier remembered the swarm of large mosquitoes she encountered. If it weren't for the protective balls, she would not have been able to find a suitable bunker in a hurry, and even the protective net would have been useless. Even if Big Beard has defensive powers among the three people outside, can he care about the life and death of the other two newbies at the critical moment? The cute girl they really want to save might die first.
While they were chatting these two words, the three people outside the cave also noticed something unusual.
A black fog surrounded them.
The bearded man's physical attributes had been enhanced, and the first ones he noticed were flying bugs the size of a fist. He asked the two of them: "Have your preparation period passed?"
The two newbies nodded.
The bearded man snorted coldly: "Then you come closer to me. Those giant insects may be weird. They can physically defend themselves within a three-meter radius around me. If you leave my defense range, I won't stop you even if you want to die."
Li Sa and the others could not hear the conversation between the three bearded men. Li Sa could only see the group of black bugs surrounding the bearded man.
After a while, the three people in the cave saw the thin woman running over, and there was only one woman.
The woman looked frightened and anxious, and shouted loudly: "Let me in, those insects will not bite women. Those two men are dead. Please save me, and I will give you all my supplies."
Li Tianya looked carefully and saw that there was indeed no flying insect following the woman. The black insect was still out of their sight.
Yao Feier also confirmed through unmanned monitoring equipment that two men were trapped in a swarm of flying insects. The flying insect didn't look like a big mosquito, but it was definitely not a normal insect. It had a black carapace, like the large scarab beetle in science fiction movies. Do they really only attack men?
Li Sa felt the brainwave energy of the two men and found that they were indeed close to death. The bearded man's proud defense was ignored by these bugs? She searched for the previous situation through this woman's memory fragments.
It turned out that after the group of bugs pounced on him, although the bearded man opened the full defense barrier, he found that the bugs were very powerful. If he wanted to sustain his power for a longer time, he had to reduce the defense range. In order to protect himself, the sinister man pushed the thin woman out of the defensive circle without mercy.
The woman was horrified and thought she was going to die, but found that the bug didn't seem to be interested in her. Instead, the two men were protected by flying insects, and she ran to the cave to ask for help.
Li Sa learned a more specific image of the insect through the woman's memory, and quickly discovered a cruel fact by comparing it with the illustrated book. He said sympathetically: "Your arm has been bitten by the giant flying insect. If they don't attack you, they are waiting. After I’m full, I’ll use you alive to hatch offspring.”
The Interstellar Bug Beast Illustration introduces that giant flying bugs are a kind of intelligent bug beast with social organization. They live in groups and after eating enough, they will choose suitable living creatures as their breeding ground for laying eggs. The leader among them has the ability to mark the spawning hotbed. After marking it first, the group will not attack the mark again.
The reason why they mark women is probably because they feel that the unique smell of female secretions is more comfortable than those two men.
The thin woman took out a dagger and cut off the bitten flesh on her arm on the spot, revealing the bones. She said, "I am a doctor. I can take care of myself. Please let me hide in the cave."
She threw the severed flesh away from the hole, and Li Sa carefully felt the thin woman's emotions and thoughts. This is not the result of her manipulation, it is simply the thin woman's own perseverance and decision. That woman had a strong will to live.
Li Sa and the other three exchanged opinions and decided to let the woman in first.
Li Sa walked to the entrance of the cave, quickly opened the net and pulled the woman into the cave. Before the woman could speak, he knocked her out with a palm.
After the woman discarded the bitten flesh, the giant armored flying insect seemed to have some strange movements. Li Tianya quickly resealed the door with quick hands and eyes, and said: "I am watching the situation outside at the door. See if there is anything wrong with the woman."
The thin woman had actually reached her physical limit. Li Sa took out the "anti-inflammatory, analgesic and regeneration spray" and sprayed it twice on his wound, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
However, the woman is really new, her physical attributes have not improved, and the wound healing effect is not that obvious. Li Sa took out a first aid kit from the woman's body, which contained medical supplies. They were probably the things she bought with the initial funds after the system mall was opened.
It's a pity that the woman not only doesn't have her own terminal, she also doesn't have any food or water. If she had bought those things, they had probably been snatched away by those two men.
The giant armored flying insects outside did not disperse, but were still feasting on the corpses of the two men. Regardless of other supplies, if Li Sa and the others really wanted to save this frail woman's future, they needed to get that woman's terminal back.
According to unmanned monitoring, after the two men died, their terminals disappeared automatically. Near the bearded corpse, which had been chewed down to only the skeleton, were materials that the insects were not interested in, including the terminal of the thin woman.
The body of the giant flying insect is larger than the net, so it cannot completely pass through the red light protective net. After the thin woman had her skin cut off, her attraction to the giant flying insect became much less attractive. Occasionally, one or two well-fed giant armored flying insects would crash into the net at the entrance of the cave and fall apart, but no more insects would attempt this suicidal move.
Intelligent and organized insect beasts have such an advantage. Fatal mistakes made by the same kind can be quickly discovered, and they will make choices that are beneficial to collective survival.
So they disappeared beyond Li Sa's perception.
Li Sa then breathed a sigh of relief: "Those bugs flew two kilometers away."
Li Tianya volunteered, "I'll use my supernatural powers to go out and dig through the corpses to see what supplies I can pick up."
Li Sa reminded: "Just hold the terminal, wear gloves for protection, and pay attention to your steps. The bugs under the ground may not be intelligent, but there are many monsters like giant earthworms."
