"We have returned from this trip with a full load. Once we go back and sell the goods, everyone will have enough food and clothing in the next few months."
"No, look at Lao Gao, he's so happy that he can't even open his mouth from ear to ear."
"Lao Gao, what are your plans after you return?"
The middle-aged man who was packing the goods heard this and said with a smile: "When I go back, I plan to ask for another wife."
Several men suddenly laughed and cursed.
"My dear, you already have two wives and three children. How can you afford to ask for another room?"
"That's right, Lao Gao, although no one cares how many wives you want now, you still have to take care. Be careful that a few wives will squeeze you out."
"Lao Gao, if you really can't do it, just share it with me. I can help you share some of the burden."
Lao Gao waved his hand: "Go, go, go, I'm not like you, all silver guns and candles. I'm in good health. Every time I go back, my wives can't get out of bed the next day."
"You have to brag. The last time I went back, I saw you holding on to the wall and coming out the next day. I didn't know who couldn't get out of bed."
The men burst into laughter.
At this time, Lao Gao threw a bag of goods into the car and caught a glimpse of a figure behind some giant fungi as tall as big trees in front of him.
It was a man with a sad face, looking towards the convoy.
Lao Gao immediately became alert.
It's not peaceful in the forbidden area.
Danger comes not only from giant beasts and parasites, but also from fellow travelers. Fighting among fellow travelers occurs in the forbidden area, and snatching of goods occurs from time to time.
Lao Gao had experienced it several times himself, so when he saw a stranger, he immediately picked up the automatic rifle placed next to him.
He pointed his gun at the giant fungi and shouted.
"People over there, come out, who are you and which team are you from?"
Hearing Lao Gao's shouting, other men came over, holding weapons. Some even jumped on the truck, lay on the truck, pointed their guns at the suspicious figure, and took up the commanding heights.
At this time, the man looked towards Lao Gao and the others again, and then seemed a little hesitant. He squeezed forward and dropped one hand to the ground.
Seeing that hand, Lao Gao was stunned for a moment because the picture was too weird.
You must know that if the hand falls on the ground, then this person will definitely have to crawl on the ground, but now the person hiding behind the giant fungus has his head more than one meter above the ground.
Human arms are not that long.
Either there is another person crawling on the ground next to him, or this guy is not a human?
When he thought of this, Lao Gao's hair stood up.
He yelled: "Come out or we'll shoot."
The words just fell.
The man rushed out from behind the giant fungus like a rabbit. As soon as the figure left the giant fungus, the old senior man could see clearly.
It was not a human at all, but a giant centipede. It just had a human face, and had human arms and legs, but more of them had sharp opposite legs at the end.
"Damn it, it's a human-faced centipede!" Lao Gao roared, no longer hesitating, the automatic rifle spurted out long tongues of flame, and immediately blasted the giant parasite with a hail of bullets.
The other men also shouted, concentrating their firepower, forming a thick barrage.
The human-faced centipede had only reached half the distance when it was constantly beating with bullets. It finally stopped and died tragically on the spot.
Lao Gao fired a few more shots at the parasite's head that looked like a human face, and then said: "Damn it, why did the human-faced centipede come to the safe zone? Shouldn't this thing be in the danger zone?"
"Don't worry so much. I have an ominous feeling. Let's evacuate quickly."
"Yes, yes, this thing looks too scary. Let's leave quickly."
At this moment, the fireman on the truck suddenly shouted: "There is a situation at three o'clock!"
Lao Gao and others quickly used the vehicle as a cover to hide, and then pointed their guns at the three o'clock direction.
Because it was approaching evening, the sunlight in the forbidden area was no longer so bright, so large shadows appeared among the various bacterial groups.
In the shadow at three o'clock, Lao Gao suddenly saw a woman with a pale face and blank eyes.
Then another centipede with a human face emerged from the shadows. The parasite's head was like a woman's face.
Then old people, children, men, women...all kinds of faces, more or less human organs, and human-faced centipedes emerged from the shadows of the bacterial forest in spurts.
The number is despairing.
"What the hell is going on? Are we stabbing a centipede's lair?"
"Shoot quickly, or none of us can leave."
"There are too many, how can we fight?"
"You have to fight even if you can't. If you run away now, you will die faster."
Gunshots began to ring out among various sounds. People roared and opened fire at the human-faced centipedes. Intense lines of fire roared in the bacterial forest, and the heavy barrage covered the insect swarm like a net.
Lao Gao took out a fragmentation grenade, pulled out the ring, and threw it towards the place where the number of human-faced centipedes was the largest.
Boom.
The grenade exploded and several human-faced centipedes were blown to pieces, but before the smoke dissipated, more human-faced centipedes had already rushed over.
On the truck, the fireman fired an RPG rocket launcher at the insect swarm, and an orange fireball suddenly appeared in the insect swarm.
Countless insects were blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
But this still doesn't stop them.
Soon, more than a dozen human-faced centipedes rushed into the convoy.
They climbed onto the car and then jumped on top of the gold diggers' heads. Several human-faced centipedes rushed up and hugged one person.
They gnawed at humans crazily, slashing open the bodies of gold diggers with their sharp toes and disemboweling them.
Suddenly, screams broke out from the convoy.
Lao Gao saw a companion being knocked down by several human-faced centipedes. The man turned his eyes and looked at Lao Gao.
"Save me, Lao Gao."
Lao Gao stepped back continuously, then ran towards the truck in front. He got into the car and closed the door.
As soon as he finished all this, he saw the carriage shake violently, and then there was a sharp scratching sound outside.
Lao Gao shrank to the bottom with his gun in his arms and prayed to all the gods he knew. I don’t know how long it had passed, but the screams outside stopped and the carriage stopped shaking.
Only then did Lao Gao carefully open the door of the carriage.
As soon as the door opened, the strong smell of blood almost made him vomit.
He looked out and saw that it was getting late, the sun had set, and he could barely see anything around the convoy.
Lao Gao looked around and saw corpses everywhere. His companions who were joking before were now in pieces.
Fortunately.
The human-faced centipede has left. Judging from the traces, the group of insects seems to be heading outside the forbidden area.
Lao Gao boldly got out of the car and checked the goods. They were all still there.
The middle-aged man's mouth widened a little, and he laughed: "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich."
