Spring City belongs to the southwest plateau area, with mountainous surroundings and inconvenient transportation. During the hundred years of peace before the Third World War, a series of road infrastructures were finally built. However, after the war, the aberrations were rampant and large areas became no-man's land. At present, they have been almost destroyed, and they can only be built among the grass, rocks, and collapsed mountain ruins. , you can vaguely see some traces.
In this kind of territory, maglev cars in cities are of little practical use, and aerospace vehicles such as shuttles also face the impact of flying aberrations, and there is always the possibility of crashing into a mountain. Therefore, most of the people who make a living here choose traditional, solid off-road vehicles, and with some auxiliary modules such as maglev plug-ins, they can cope with most situations.
At this time, on the gentle slope of a certain mountain peak, a small convoy of three off-road vehicles and about ten people were carefully arranging instruments and equipment to monitor the surrounding environment.
The leading man was tall and stocky, with a shaved head, wearing sunglasses, a leather jacket and trousers, and he looked quite tough. But at the same time, he was also an expert in controlling instruments and equipment. He commanded the crowd and asked his companions to install equipment at various locations. Every instruction was clear and clear, and the scene was busy but not chaotic.
There were some people who were willing to play the role of lackeys, and Lian Die praised: "As expected of the field troops, with you here, Brother Bao, we can be targeted!"
"Shut up...what sound?"
"ah?"
Brother Bao frowned and listened. After a few seconds, his expression became even more ugly: "Who are you stupid! Didn't you see the Rolling Dragon logo? I used the maglev module to move it here bit by bit..."
At this time, many people present had already heard the trembling sound of the motor and engine. Of course, the most piercing sound was the friction and impact of the car body and the bad road surface.
"The southwest direction, not from the city."
The person in charge of remote monitoring raised his hand to inform. Brother Bao heard this and moved over. Through the monitoring equipment, he saw an earth dragon rolling in, returning from the southwest wilderness.
The area around Spring City is experiencing the rare dry season in many years. The dust, sand and grass are flying in the air. It is hard to see clearly, except that it does not look like a large vehicle.
"It doesn't look like a long-distance passenger."
"Perhaps someone from one of the teams has temporarily returned to the city for work?"
While talking, the surveillance equipment finally captured some details. It was a small off-road motorcycle, alone.
Brother Bao cursed in a low voice: "Send him a signal. If you want to survive, take a detour and hit your head with a hammer. Even if you save your life, we have to make him compensate for our losses."
The dog-legged man lost no time and praised again: "Brother Bao is very particular. If you want me, I will just ask him to add food to the ground dragon."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Send the signal quickly... Ouch!"
Brother Bao screamed, and on the previous front line, in the surveillance picture, in front of the rolling earth dragon, the dry and hard ground suddenly exploded, and a large pit with a diameter of more than three meters appeared. The splashing earth and rocks made a sizzling sound, which was even more terrifying. What's more, in the depths of the huge pit, there seems to be a strange giant flower blooming. It is made up of dozens or hundreds of slender tentacles. A light blue mist is sprayed out from the center, and the earth is covered in the blink of an eye. The off-road motorcycle at the front of the dragon was swallowed up.
"Shit ground dragon, this is a chrysanthemum bug!"
Brother Bao's face turned green, he pulled up the terrain map, looked at it again, and gave himself a slap in the face: "I'm so stupid, there is obviously an underground river! Isn't this the favorite place of the chrysanthemum bug? ? This is a trap, retreat quickly!"
He suddenly raised his voice: "Lao Wu reports to the branch and informs the city defense army... everyone evacuates immediately!"
Chrysanthemum bug, one of the most famous B-level aberrations in the area around Spring City, has a threat level of "B-". It lives underground all year round and has a very high IQ. It can simulate the sounds and secretions of several low-level mutants such as the ground dragon, lure other predators, including those with human abilities, to take the bait, and then kill and devour them.
If such aberrations are too close to urban areas, they may pass through sewage pipes, break through city defenses, and cause great turmoil. Therefore, in the city defense system, this guy is always at the top of the list of targets to kill.
It's definitely too late to consider these things now, and Brother Bao doesn't care about "being particular". Judging from the direction of the appearance of the chrysanthemum evil insect, their hunting team has simply walked away from the gate of hell. If the motorcyclist hadn't taken the bait first, their little team would have been stuffed and swallowed in a few minutes.
"Well, come back, my brother will collect your remains... and bury them generously!"
"Brother Bao is benevolent and righteous!"
Slapping the dog leg on the head, Brother Bao roared and told his brothers to run back: "Get out, get out, throw away all the instruments. The radius of the chrysanthemum insect's hunting area is fifty kilometers. If you run slowly, you will have to wait. Let’s be digested!”
More than a dozen members of the hunting team swarmed into three off-road vehicles. At this time, it was impossible to use the slow-speed maglev plug-in. Instead, they turned on their full power and drove down the rugged mountain road.
The car that Brother Bao was in was delayed, and it felt like it was about to overturn several times. He relied on his driving skills honed over many years and the intelligent system to forcefully correct the deviation. Across the mountain, there was a muffled explosion and a high-pitched hissing sound from the opposite side. The scalp-numbing "sizzling" sound was undoubtedly the sound of the chrysanthemum insect. As for the sonic boom…
"The motorcycle exploded."
Brother Bao turned his head and looked back. The mountain seemed to light up, much like the afterglow of a thermal weapon.
Tragic, really miserable!
Every year in Spring City, there are about a thousand "wilderness death indicators" for people, and there are also capable people who fill them in, and now there is another one.
Brother Bao remembered another thing: "Pay attention to the bottom of the car and refer to the terrain map to avoid underground rivers. The chrysanthemum insects pass through the water at a speed no slower than the car, and they can also spray poisonous mist..."
While he was shouting, the dogleg next to him screamed: "Insects, coming from above!"
Brother Bao turned around in shock and saw dozens of slender tentacles flying above the mountain, occasionally crossing the mountain barrier and undulating. This is not a normal path, but the momentum is even more terrifying.
Brother Bao cursed loudly, but had no other choice but to yell: "Speed up, speed up!"
The driver of the off-road vehicle he was on was an experienced veteran. He could infer the approximate speed of the pursuers from behind just by visual inspection, and then howled in despair: "The speed over there is at least 200 kilometers per hour. This is unreasonable! "
"What a nonsense!"
Brother Bao yelled back, if the chrysanthemum bug can run at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour on the ground, its threat level is definitely not B-. Even if the branch and the city defense army are deployed, they will kill these perverted aberrations. It’s right to kill them all!
Trivial thoughts that were not helpful to the current situation flashed through Brother Bao's mind, but when he turned to look at the flying tentacles, his mind was already blank.
At this moment, there was a loud bang in front of me. The off-road vehicle in the end could not withstand the test of speeding and racing on the rugged mountain road, and it completely rolled over. If the off-road vehicle purchased at a high price had not been relatively sturdy, the people in the vehicle were agile and intelligent. Even though he only managed to correct his posture, it turned out to be a tragedy of falling straight down the cliff and causing a car crash and death.
But in this case, on the narrow mountain road, the car in front was blocked by the car behind, and any retreat became a joke. At the same time, a greater tragedy has clearly caught up.
Brother Bao's brain exploded. He pressed down on the stupid words "rush over", but a certain thought came out:
I can't embarrass Captain Qiu!
The next second, he shouted "Help". The two off-road vehicles behind them suddenly stopped. Brother Bao didn't wait for the car to stop, so he jumped off, pulled several companions who had just climbed up from the ground, and used brute force to right the overturned off-road vehicle. They also asked the injured who had difficulty with their legs and feet to sit in other cars first:
"The car behind passed quickly...start the engine so fast, start the engine!"
The driver of the car in front was a little confused and didn't know to check the condition of the car immediately. Brother Bao was so numb that he rushed over and pushed him away and forced the engine to start.
Thank God, Xie Anzu, there is no problem with the high-power modified motor for off-road use, and there is no problem with the instantaneous self-check of the intelligent system.
At this time, the two cars that passed quickly had already ran hundreds of meters away. When Brother Bao turned around again, the flying tentacles of the chrysanthemum bug completely crossed the top of the mountain and rolled over to this side.
"Hurry up!"
Brother Bao directly grabbed the driver's seat and asked everyone to get in the car. Before they could sit firmly, he stepped on the accelerator. The car roared forward, but he only managed to get about ten meters away. The wind was howling above him and the tentacles were swaying. Riding on the wind, it even hit the broken windshield...
The next second, the chrysanthemum insect weighed at least two tons and hit the ground twenty meters in front of it. The off-road vehicle braked suddenly, but still failed to stop and hit it heavily. Fortunately, the huge mix of flesh and whiskers at the front was not hard enough. The off-road vehicle seemed to have hit a sponge and did not cause a more serious car accident.
"Reverse, reverse quickly!"
The original driver sitting in the passenger seat screamed like crazy. Brother Bao had already switched to reverse gear but did not press the accelerator again.
The chrysanthemum insect in front is lying on the ground, its limbs and tentacles are still twitching, and it also has a slight meaty smell. The smell molecules penetrate the damaged windshield and blow over together with the dry mountain wind - such an appearance, except for the size Other than that, it looks more like a half-roasted sea anemone.
Brother Bao stared at the huge piece of meat in front of him without blinking.
At this time, the roar of the rear motor sounded, belonging to a certain off-road motorcycle. A few seconds later, the other party stopped steadily on the side of the off-road vehicle, and the cold metallic luster pierced the eyes.
Brother Bao, who had just retired from the army, could naturally tell at a glance that it was a set of exoskeleton armor. In terms of model...how could it be more like a "Sergeant X-2" anthropomorphic robot?
Modified goods?
The metal armor obscured the opponent's face and figure. Brother Bao couldn't figure out where he was coming from, so he could only follow the simplest thinking: "Are you... a soldier?"
There was no response from the other side.
Brother Bao asked stupidly again: "What can I do for you?"
Behind the metal visor, a buzzing voice finally came out: "Help me."
"Hey, tell me." Brother Bao's mind finally came around. He killed the chrysanthemum bug alone. He must be a B-level strongman. There are not more than ten such people in Spring City, so he must be respected.
"Jacket, and pants."
"Gah?"
"By the way, use your sunglasses too."
Half a minute later, Brother Bao obediently handed over his entire outfit.
The motorcyclist nodded and pointed at the chrysanthemum insect in front of him: "This is for you to deal with."
After saying that, he gave Brother Bao a thumbs up again, probably to express his gratitude. Amidst the roar, the off-road motorcycle sped away on the mountain road.
Brother Bao, and a whole car of people were stunned.
A few minutes later, a stupid call came in: "Brother Bao, Brother Bao, why are you driving that motorcycle?"
"Kill your head off!"
