There is a sound when stepping on the snow, and when it rolls, it also makes a unique sound when the snow is squeezed.
Reptiles are very sensitive to sound and should be able to respond at this distance.
But Wang Qi waited for less than half a minute and still didn't hear any movement, so he couldn't make up his mind.
Is the insect confused?
Come closer and see what's going on.
With this thought in mind, the person continued to retreat, until he retreated into a single passage in the alley sandwiched between two houses.
Let's build a defense first.
Touch the snow on the ground and it feels quite dry. Try to roll it up like a roll of paper, compacting it as you roll it.
The snowflakes are big and the air content in the snow layer is also large. The snow that is more than ten centimeters thick between the two buildings is piled up to both ends of the passage. If you press it with your hips, it is not even knee high.
Then cut off the middle of the snow block on the opposite side, and the height of the half snow wall × 2... That is the ideal state. After all, the height of the snow wall is barely enough to cover the crouching position.
One of the battle preparations is completed.
I also need to make some equipment.
Take out the iron sheet sandwiched in the backpack, take out some wires, and tie them on the arms to make shields. The sandwich is filled with some snow as a buffer layer, and the areas in contact with the hands are also filled with snow, compacting it to increase stability.
The main body of the shield is then raised with snow to leave an observation window, which is a bit like a police explosion-proof shield.
Walk.
The purpose of the structure related to the observation window is to cover the shape of the head, and by the way, see how the bug reacts when it only sees its eyes and feet.
In order to give myself time to react, I moved sideways to the corridor about three meters away from the wall of the building.
Under the stairs leading to the second floor, where everyone used to store debris, two reptiles huddled together in the corner of the discarded furniture.
They clearly saw Wang Qi's shield, and the tail blade was aiming, but had no intention of attacking.
Frozen?
The worm is more than one meter long and weighs between twenty and thirty-five kilograms, depending on the individual.
They are larger than cats and dogs except large dogs, so Wang Qi did not immediately think that they were afraid of the cold.
Think about it carefully, indeed.
Even though the exoskeleton structure uses hollow bones to create an insulation layer, the respiratory system takes in air directly from the abdomen, which means that their respiratory organs must directly exchange oxygen with air below freezing point. The best way to deal with it is to stop moving and hibernate directly through the antifreeze mechanism.
Wang Qi shook the shield from side to side, even tapped the shield twice with the steel bar, and after a while he moved forward again.
The reptile probably sensed the danger and moved its limbs, preparing to pounce on Wang Qi.
Back away.
The reptile's alert posture was not lifted, but it did not pounce either.
Wang Qi handed the steel bar to his left hand that was holding the shield, and half-crouched to pick up the snow and grasp it firmly.
Throw!
My accuracy was not good, but the snowball rolled on the ground a few times and still stuck to an insect.
The insect's legs fluttered wildly, pushing the snowball away.
Boy, they are really afraid of the cold!
...Speaking of which, Wang Qi was repairing fortifications nearby just now. He didn't feel cold at all after playing in the snow for half an hour, but it was just a little cool. Looking at the reaction of the bugs now, the temperature may be colder than the subjective feeling. The [Night Walker] race seems to be anti-freeze!
Since reptiles are afraid of cold, freeze them with snow!
Just as he thought, he turned to the side of the stairwell that was not visible in the utility area, stood the shield on the ground, fixed it with snow and steel bars, and placed his backpack next to it.
Pinch the snowball and throw it inside.
He throws snowballs very purposefully. He first seals the passage for insects to go upstairs, and then lays at least one layer of snowballs, and then hits the insects.
Before today, he would never have imagined that he would actually have a snowball fight with a reptile.
Throwing snowballs was very tiring, so in order to save energy, he tried to throw them in a urinal position. After throwing about a hundred snowballs, the reptiles finally couldn't help but crawled out of the stairwell, but their movements were quite stiff.
Wang Qi rolled around like a lazy ass, hid behind the shield, raised the shield, and grabbed the steel bars.
"Let's fight!" He deliberately used a louder voice despite the heavy snow.
One of the reptiles jumped up.
Wang Qi used his secret skill again.
When he turned over, the situation was very embarrassing for a while.
The reptile's muscles may have been stiff, and it only jumped out less than two meters. The front end of its bayonet foot was still more than half a meter away from Wang Qi.
On Wang Qi's side, the temporarily raised shield did not have time to reinforce the contact part with snow again. At this time, it was already crooked, without even protecting his fists, and the observation window made purely of snow had already fallen off.
This broken shield is worse than no shield at all.
He immediately stepped back, preparing to drop the shield.
Even if the insect doesn't let go, it will jump.
But it jumped faster than he could retreat!
Wang Qi guessed that the bug was probably not pretending to be a trick, so he stepped back five steps away, put the shield on the ground, stepped on it, and pulled his arm out of the wires.
The scraping hurts a little, but it's not a big problem.
Holding the rebar with both hands, the sense of security immediately increased, and the momentum also increased.
The reptile on the other side didn't even jump anymore, it was spinning around, as if it wanted to go back.
It wants to go back on its word when given the chance of a duel! I have such a bad temper.
Wang Qi freed his left hand again and took out a pair of scissors from his lower back.
Stepping, kicking, put snow on the insects.
The reptile jumped and dodged.
This time it didn't turn completely towards the stairwell, but jumped sideways.
Once something without wings takes off, how it moves has nothing to do with itself. Humans can still use their core strength to make some movements without changing the trajectory of their center of gravity. Reptiles can do nothing but flap their legs twice.
Wang Qi rushed directly to the point where the reptile landed.
Approaching the side, the steel bar swept across its tail blade, pressing the tail into the snow, and stepped on the reptile's back.
The tail blade is very deadly when swinging, but the strength of the tail itself is not its strong point. Similar to a long whip, it has no lethality at all in the middle. You can control the tip of the whip by flicking it along the middle.
The reptile's bayonet foot is swung and cannot attack the side.
My walking feet fluttered, and my strength was very weak because I was frozen.
The bouncing was so hard that it caused a slight loss of control, but the power was less than half the impression.
After confirming that the reptile was really weak and unable to attack his crotch, Wang Qi dared to bend over and apply the scissors.
Cut off the tail with a few clicks. The soldier insect has no tail whistle, so you don't have to worry about the other one blowing the whistle. But is it really useful to blow the whistle in this environment?
Glancing at the other reptile.
That guy actually shrank into the corridor again. Could it be that he wanted to survive and find a chance to take revenge?
Take care of the one at your feet first.
In order to do better research, I did not start from the abdomen this time, but from the beginning.
Put the scissors back on your lower back, hold the steel bars in both hands, and insert the sharp end into the gap between your head and sternum.
Prick hard and then use it as a crowbar!
There were a few clicks, very quickly, and the head was pried away more than three meters.
Wang Qi lost his balance and fell on the snow.
My explosive power is greater than I imagined.
The reptile has no head and still has some crystals that are suspected of being photoreceptors, but without its head, these crystals can only make it try to crawl twice, and it can't even attack.
Wang Qi didn't dare to believe in luck too much, so he got up and took off the two bouncing legs at the risk of being kicked. Then he dragged its belly and threw it aside far away.
There is nothing left to say.
Die to me!
