The sky is darkening and night is approaching.
The snowflakes in the sky gradually stopped, but the howling wind was still noisy.
On the dilapidated streets, vehicle wreckage and other debris that were originally seen everywhere were buried in the snow.
A strange little purple flower swayed and unfolded its petals from the snow.
The bright pollen is so conspicuous in the dim night.
Before the wind could spread its offspring all over this cold city, a fist-sized firefly flapped its wings and arrived quickly with a buzzing sound.
The shiny metallic joints slide on the hard petals, leaving traces behind.
The round green compound eyes of the firefly scanned the flower stamens.
Soon, it found its target.
A touch of fluorescence in the stamens.
Eager to bring food to the queen and get a reward, it shook its blade-like jaws and pinched off the flower stamens with a click.
Then, a thin tongue stretched out from the jaw, wrapped around the magic stamen, and began to lick it repeatedly.
Not long after, all the fluorescent light entered the firefly's fat, hair-ball-like body.
After the harvest is completed, the firefly flaps its wings with satisfaction, and then prepares to stay away from here and continue harvesting at the next location.
Perhaps the harvest satisfied it so much that it even flapped its wings harder.
Wherever it passed, the sparse and gradually stopping snowflakes were smoothly cut by its sharp wings.
Fireflies are the most common demon species that can be found in the post-apocalyptic world.
These little guys, covered in light yellow fur, are active all over the world.
Scanning the passers-by with a round green compound eye.
The whole body of the firefly looks like a ball, with two pairs of wings hanging behind it and two normal insect antennae on its head.
The most obvious appearance feature of fireflies is their tail.
The firefly's tail is flat, wide and long, curling out from under the body like a paper strip to support its plump fur ball-like body.
Although fireflies do not die like ordinary bees after attacking, their deadly attack method, the spike on their tail, can even grow again within a very short period of time after being lost.
But fireflies generally don't show aggression. Their only preference is to harvest.
Harvest the magic of those cute flower stamens, or other magical trinkets.
Sometimes, their tails can carry large amounts of pollen, absorbing its magic.
They will be transformed into a new substance that alchemists call "firefly powder."
Firefly powder is a powdery product that is mixed with pure magic crystals and firefly secretions. It emits a faint yellow light in the dark.
At this moment, under the cover of darkness.
This firefly is as eye-catching as a large firefly.
This attention is a good thing for Qi Rin, because by tracking it, the location of its lair can be obtained.
Then catch them all in one go.
But for the skeleton task force lying in the third-floor window of a nearby building.
is a bad thing.
Even though the captain and his deputy had the latest achievements of the institute, the demon species camouflage cloth covered their bodies.
Even if they strictly abide by the rules and remain motionless.
But he was still discovered by this little guy.
To be precise, they discovered the institute's special potion carried on their waists, which contained the magic power that the queen bee needed.
The Firefly was about to fly away when suddenly the tentacles on its forehead turned slightly and pointed directly at the floor where the two of them were.
The fluttering wings suddenly paused, and then the firefly rushed towards the third floor window like a shark smelling the smell of blood!
Due to the consumption of magic power stored in the tail, its speed is as fast as an arrow leaving the string!
The firefly quickly rushed to the security window outside the window. Its speed did not slow down, but it accelerated its magic power.
Under the great light from its tail, this seemingly harmless little guy actually flapped its wings and rushed straight in!
The seemingly sturdy security window did nothing to prevent unwanted visitors.
With the sound of metal hissing, the security window fell and smashed into the snow below.
The captain in the room noticed that Yingfeng was heading straight for the deputy's waist, and he suddenly kicked the deputy away!
With a solemn look on his face, he quickly twisted his waist with force, touched the military thorn on his waist with his right hand simultaneously, and then turned around and swiped hard at the fireflies that were charging towards him for unknown reasons!
Clang!
The military sting mixed with new materials stabbed the incoming fireflies hard!
Metal sparks instantly lit up in the dark room, and they also reflected the deputy who quickly got up and looked panicked, but still subconsciously took out the military thorn and rushed towards Yingfei.
"We are no match for it! Let's go!"
The captain looked at the unharmed Fireflies in the buzzing and roared, then grabbed the intelligence book on the ground, grabbed his desperate deputy and jumped out of the window!
Bang!
The captain was the first to hit the security window, and then used one hand to drag the deputy who jumped down immediately.
"Captain! Our camouflage cloth and telescope." The deputy shouted anxiously as the captain grabbed his arm and ran away.
Those gadgets are the hard work of the research institute, but they have not yet been mass-produced and can only be distributed in small quantities in order to be used on the cutting edge.
“I’ll pick it up later!”
Without looking back, the captain frantically grabbed his deputy and ran away.
In the brief battle just now, the captain, who had undergone rigorous training, knew through the force of the counterattack that the bee was no match for them.
If they were left to fight to the death, it would definitely be the result of two people being killed.
Therefore, the captain abandoned those valuables without hesitation, just grabbed the more valuable intelligence book, took his deputy and ran away.
However, the captain underestimated Firefly's speed.
Even if they have activated the speed skills prepared by the military for them, they are still unable to compare with these bronze-level flying demons.
This little guy not only has strong physical defense.
It also has extremely fast flying speed and a short burst of magic power!
Feeling the buzzing behind me getting closer.
The captain knew that he couldn't just run away. With a cruel look on his face, he let go of his deputy's arm and kicked the street lamp next to him.
Bang!
With the help of this kick, the captain quickly reversed his body in the air, and once again stabbed the firefly with its wings in preparation for swiping across the backs of the two men!
Clang!
When the military thorn came into contact with the firefly's head, a large amount of sparks spattered again.
The captain saw the firefly falling to the ground, shaking its head and flapping its wings to prepare to fly again.
Knowing that his military strength alone could not penetrate the defense, the captain once again grabbed his deputy and ran away.
From the time he came into contact with Fireflies to now, all of the captain's choices have been successful and have yielded results.
If you only know how to run, your head will definitely be cut off by this little guy's iron wings.
But after every counterattack by the captain, he would take advantage of the empty period when Firefly was dazed to escape quickly.
This choice cannot be called wrong.
This is the captain's best option.
But when the incident happened suddenly, he ignored a fatal issue.
Fireflies are bees.
Bees, on the other hand, have tail needles.
The dizzy Yingfeng had just taken off when he saw two people carrying magic elements in front of him who were about to rush into a nearby alley.
After being knocked unconscious twice, it shook its fat tail.
As the yellow magic power circulated on it, a sharp and thin tail needle slowly emerged from its tail.
Then the firefly suddenly flicked its tail, and the tail needle driven by the magic power was as fast as if it had eyes, and silently stabbed the captain in the back!
The running captain felt something pass through his body.
As he took a big leap, a sharp pain came from his abdomen.
Bang!
The captain fell heavily to the ground, his originally solemn face now full of pain.
But his left hand holding the intelligence book still subconsciously protected the book tightly.
"team leader!"
The deputy who had already rushed into the alley saw the captain lying on the ground and hurriedly turned around and rushed over. He held the captain's arm and rushed into the alley again.
The captain, who felt his steps getting heavier and heavier, quickly pulled open his cotton-padded jacket with one hand as he was being supported by his deputy to escape.
When he looked down, he saw a dark blue blood hole in front of his eyes!
Next to the blood hole, there was still a faint yellow light.
This is the poisonous secretion of fireflies. In addition to containing severe pain, it will also cause the injured to suffer tremendous pain all the time.
And that yellow light will spread throughout the body as the toxic secretions spread, becoming more dazzling by absorbing the basic qualities of the human body.
And this secretion will also attract crazy retaliatory attacks from a large number of fireflies around.
Normally, no one would want to mess with a swarm of fireflies in the wild, unless they don't want to affect the development of the magic industry.
No one wants to be turned into a large glowing ball.
Especially the large glowing ball that attracts danger.
Of course the captain didn't know this information.
But he knew one thing.
The attacks of these demon species are extremely strange.
This yellow light may be used for positioning.
The hard-earned information must be brought back!
The captain glanced at the real-time physical attributes that were falling crazily on the panel, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
He quickly stuffed the intelligence book he had been holding in his left hand into his inner pocket before giving it to his deputy.
"Take it!" The captain's dark blue face began to look a bit ugly.
He looked at the somewhat confused deputy and stuffed the intelligence book into the deputy's inner pocket.
"Even if you die, you must send this book to the military headquarters!"
After the captain finished speaking, he pushed his deputy forward suddenly, then turned around and took out the antidote from his waist with his right hand and drank it in one gulp.
He took out the stimulant with his left hand, flicked open the metal needle sheath with his thumb, and then pricked it into his already black neck.
Immediately, another injection of stimulant specially prepared by the institute to collect biological materials from demon species was inserted into his heart.
The medicine was quickly pushed into the room, and the captain's eyes were fixed on the firefly that was swinging its fat tail growth-promoting needle in place.
"Captain! Before you came here, you promised to take me back with you."
With an angry look on his face, the deputy stuffed the intelligence book into his inner pocket, took a shot of stimulant, grasped the military spur and chased after the captain.
The latter looked at his comrades who wanted to fight side by side with a hint of relief in his eyes.
But soon, the captain said fiercely: "Escort this book back to the military headquarters!"
"I" the deputy didn't finish his words.
Then he saw that the captain had taken off the last bottle of medicine from his waist.
Explosive potion.
The Demon Seed Research Institute is currently the pinnacle in the field of pharmacy.
It allows the user to strengthen the comprehensive physical attributes by 50% within ten minutes, and there will be a certain attenuation according to the user's level.
Such a powerful potion did not come from the demon species.
It is the crystallization of human wisdom.
But unfortunately, the side effects are also huge.
The user will be like a corpse beast after an hour, with the flesh and blood all over his body disintegrating and dying.
But normally, once it’s time to use this potion, it basically won’t last more than an hour.
"Sergeant He Jia!" The captain saw that the firefly tail needle was about to complete the growth promotion. He raised the explosive potion that he had drank in one gulp and suddenly dropped it to the ground.
The bottle shattered with a pop.
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" the captain shouted to his deputy: "I order you to immediately escort the intelligence back to the military headquarters for reporting!"
The deputy's hand holding the spur made a creaking sound. He was unwilling to abandon the captain and return alone, but when he saw the empty bottle of explosive potion on the ground, he had already drank it.
He knew there was no point in saying anything.
The deputy put his legs together, pursed his lips with tears in his eyes, silently saluted a military salute, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the alley.
The captain looked at the young man's back and smiled, then rushed to an abandoned vehicle on the side of the road.
While looking around, the military thorn in his hand slashed across the connection between the car door and the car body.
"Since the army can't penetrate the defense, then I will beat you to death!"
The Military Thorn cannot break through the Firefly's defense, but it can still break through the defense of these vehicles easily.
At this moment, the firefly has promoted the growth of new tail needles.
The yellow light at the tail that is about to run out of magic power is greatly reduced.
But even so, the round compound eyes reflected the captain who was rushing towards him holding the car door. It wiped the compound eyes with its forehead tentacles boringly, as if mocking the powerlessness of small humans.
As the firefly's tail flicked, the second tail needle shot towards the captain who was roaring and charging again.
The latter saw Firefly's movements and subconsciously raised the car door to block it, preparing to use it as a blunt weapon.
With a squeaking sound, a tiny red-glowing hole appeared in the car door.
The car door fell to the ground with a bang.
The captain covered his neck with his bleeding palms and slowly fell to the ground.
The captain who was lying on his side looked at the fireflies flying slowly in front of him, and wanted to raise his palms that were already covered in black and blue to fight back.
But just after he lifted it up, his limp and powerless arms fell heavily into the snow.
In the tiny holes on the palms pierced by the tail needles, blood could not help but flow onto the white snow.
Even though the captain was blessed with an explosive potion that took immediate effect, under the influence of firefly toxin, his physical attributes on the panel had dropped to 0.3.
And it is still declining.
The captain looked at the approaching fireflies and showed a bitter smile.
He whispered in a weak voice: "This damn world."
"Mom me."
Bah!
The firefly's steel-like jointed limbs swiped across the captain's head.
Yellow and white things and blood covered the surrounding white snow.
Captain Huaizhuang, on the ninth day of the disaster.
Killed in action.
In the alley.
The drugged-up deputy sprinted frantically southeast.
The snow that covered my calves was full of obstacles.
But the deputy ignored him and just ran as hard as he could toward the southeast.
He held the captain's order tightly in his hand.
That book.
Bang!
A corpse that had been chewed into a skeleton in the snow suddenly stumbled over the deputy.
The latter quickly got up, touched the inner pocket on his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued running.
I don’t know how long I ran, maybe ten minutes.
Maybe twenty minutes.
It wasn't until the sweaty deputy arrived at the boundary line that Ghost Lao Liu had previously cleared that he hid next to a dark trash can on the roadside, stopped and took a deep breath.
After a slight adjustment, the deputy pursed his lips and prepared to continue running.
At this moment, a cry for help came from a distance: "Hey! That guy! Can you help me?"
"My leg is stuck in this damn car!"
The deputy who heard the sound looked up and was about to follow the sound, but stopped cautiously.
He touched the notebook on his chest.
He remembered what the captain once said to him: "Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders and do their part. The rest will be considered by the superiors. It's not your turn or my turn to worry about it. If we only act according to our personal wishes and disobey orders, then what's the point?" This world will only get worse."
"Hey! Was that guy with that captain before? We've met before! Your captain even gave me a compressed biscuit!"
Listening to the familiar voice, the deputy seemed to remember that the person calling for help was someone familiar.
The two of them had met a man wearing a peaked cap before.
He survived alone and later met the two captains.
The captain gave him a piece of compressed biscuit and told him that there was a safe area in the southeast where he could take refuge.
The man in the peaked cap was sincere and honest, and when he spoke, he showed great admiration and gratitude for the army.
There are no other survivors like: Why don't you save us? We supported you young soldiers before we went blind in vain!
The man in the peaked hat was full of words: The disaster came suddenly, and I can understand that the army was caught off guard. Naturally, it was necessary to resume production as quickly as possible and save people in various important industries.
Thinking of this, the deputy's vigilance dissipated a little, and he took steps to follow the sound.
In the snow on the roadside, the man in the peaked cap looked pale and sweated.
His right foot was stuck in two twisted vehicles that were twisted by corpse beasts or something else.
Seeing this, the deputy's vigilance gradually relaxed.
He stepped forward quickly and cut the vehicle open with his spurs to help the man in the peaked hat escape.
At this moment, the latter saw the sharp military thorns that were as sharp as clay, with envy in his eyes.
"That's great. I used to think that those monsters are stronger than us, what can we humans do?"
"Now it seems that the wisdom of us humans is still infinite!"
"The military is right to take the lead in rescuing high-value scientific research talents. This can reduce a lot of casualties."
All kinds of free words came out of the peaked hat's mouth.
The young deputy smiled shyly: "Thank you for your understanding."
As the vehicle was cut up, the man in the peaked hat finally got out.
The torn cotton pants on his legs revealed heavy bruises.
"Looks like I've been trapped for a while," the deputy thought to himself.
"Thank you so much!"
"If it hadn't been for your compressed biscuits before, I would have starved to death!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I really don't have the courage and courage to fight those corpse beasts face to face."
The man in the peaked hat thanked the deputy, and then asked, without waiting for the deputy to speak, "Why don't you see the captain? Aren't you two together? Are you going to the military safety zone? Can you take me with you?"
"Don't worry, although I don't have the guts to go out and fight the corpse beast, I am a good farmer and I will never eat for free!"
