At the front of the team, because the new scout team has become more careful than before, before entering a new worm territory, they have discovered these terrifying creatures hidden behind the wide leaves.
Under the sunlight, there is a terrifying silhouette behind almost every leaf in sight. This is the part that can be seen due to direct sunlight. If you use your brain to complete the scene behind all the leaves, then here is There are at least thousands of them.
Even though they didn't know how these worms observed the world, all the soldiers unconsciously held their breath and slowed down, looking for another safe route.
But everyone felt that they had been discovered. In the oppressive calm, there was only the rustling sound caused by the wind blowing through the leaves, and soon, this rustling sound was gradually joined by some crisp sounds like the breaking of branches.
"It's been discovered, run."
Someone suddenly shouted and ran towards the large army which was only a few dozen meters away. When the others heard the cry, they didn't even dare to waste time in daze and quickly moved closer to the rear. In their view, only by being with a large force and relying on superior firepower can they ensure their safety.
This is generally true, but they ignore that these worms are better at melee combat than humans at long-range shooting, and this is a jungle with limited vision.
As they retreated, a large group of worms also started moving at the same time. These fat insects bounced nimbly on the leaves and were led to the location of the large army.
A mobile team assigned by Su Hao arrived just in front of the main force and saw the scout team running back in panic. A little behind the scout team, there was the sound of rain hitting banana trees. He realized that When something bad happened, they immediately shot.
Among the broken branches and leaves, worms kept falling down one after another, but as long as they were not directly hit by bullets, they would turn over slightly and continue to bounce on the ground, and their movement speed on the ground was faster than on the leaves. It's much faster. It only took a second or two to catch up with those who were lagging behind in the scout team. These people didn't even have time to scream, and were submerged in the slightly red sea of snow-white insects.
In this scene, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the elites in the mobile team showed fear.
"Shoot them all. I have seen many of these bugs in Bergon. As long as the suppression force is enough, they will run away on their own initiative."
A soldier in the mobile team shouted, finalizing the action for those who had not yet made a choice between fighting or fleeing behind the others.
When confused about choices, people will always rely on other people's choices. What's more, every warrior here would rather choose to fight than escape, especially a battle with clear information and results.
A fire blockade was quickly established. Whether it was worms on the trees or on the ground, dozens of worms were sacrificed for every meter they advanced. But in the time the soldier said a word, the distance between them and the team had shortened to more than ten meters. Dozens of them will die every meter, and at most a few hundred will die at a distance of more than ten meters. This number is less than one-tenth of the total number of worms in this batch. Far from the point of needing to escape.
Seeing that the swarm of worms on the ground has arrived in front of us, the position above our heads is about to be covered. Knowing that they could not escape, several soldiers threw away their guns and replaced them with short knives. After the worms swarm close to the body, a short knife is a better choice than a gun in terms of sensitivity and accidental damage. At the same time, it is also the worst choice to give up human advantages and fight for life with beasts.
Without giving humans any more time to prepare, the moment a few warriors took out their daggers, an overwhelming sea of insects had already arrived.
The warrior who had just screamed saw a worm that was hitting his chest and slashed it with his knife. Then, in his rapidly shrinking pupils, the worm actually used the twist of its body to change direction in the air. Quickly and sharply, he slashed the air against its body. After changing, the worm continued to fall towards the warrior's abdomen, and... successfully reached its destination.
The soldier's eyes couldn't even keep up with the movements of the worm, and his brain could only imagine the pain of being stabbed with a knife in his abdomen...
But after the pain in this fantasy lasted for several seconds, it still did not overlap with the pain in reality.
When waiting for death, but death does not come, the human brain will always become instinctively slow. I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until the roar of cheers came from his ears that the soldier controlled his eyes and observed his surroundings.
The terrifying sea of insects was quickly retreating from his eyes, as if fleeing for its life, while the strange frog he had just seen was chasing after him. Their speed is much faster than that of worms. With every leap, they will spit out their door-like tongues and roll large pieces of worms into their mouths, leaving only a piece of slippery saliva after being licked and wiped by their tongues.
The soldier seemed to realize something and looked down at his abdomen. There was also wet saliva there. A few seconds later, his eyes gradually regained their vitality, and he joined the cheers with all his strength.
He was not only cheering to save his life, nor was he just venting to release the depression just now, but he was also excited about an emotion that he could not understand.
This emotion that he and all the soldiers could not understand was translated into language by Qiu Yu in the team behind him. He smiled lightly and explained to Qian, "This is excitement for the goodwill and hope shown by the world. In In their original lives, in addition to humans, there were animals such as camels and dogs that showed kindness to humans. But since starting this expedition, the entire world they saw has turned against them. Every animal is an enemy. , any life is an opponent that needs to be killed in order to survive. This is a kind of heavy oppression that isolates oneself from the world. If there were not so many companions, it should have collapsed long ago. But the absence of collapse does not mean that this situation It has no effect on them... Now I see these frogs fighting worms to protect themselves... Although this is not the case, judging from the results, it is indeed a creature that shows kindness to humans, even from the perspective of these warriors It seems that they are still alien companions who challenge other creatures with themselves. So now, those frogs are the holy angels in their dark hearts."
Qian Xiao looked at those frog-like creatures, and after picturing an angel with a frog face in his mind, he shuddered several times.
"You can understand all this but..." Su Haoden sighed, "I'm afraid before you went to this island, you had already thought of how to play the role of various creatures in a normal ecology, right?"
"No." Qiu Yu shook his head, "Not before this island, but before meeting Qian Xiao on his journey."
Su Hao took a deep breath and said, "The conditions are all prepared for the expected results. How could you prepare conditions for the current results whose effects and methods are unknown without knowing anything?"
"It's not specially prepared for now. I just prepare the conditions first and then combine them when needed. Besides, this condition must be used in this game."
Su Hao looked at Qiu Yu curiously, "For this reason, you won't arouse my curiosity, right?"
Qiu Yu smiled and shook his head, "This world is no longer the same. Even if we win the game and successfully protect the earth from the clutches of aliens, these creatures already exist on the earth. Human beings have the ability to Before wiping them all out, you must learn to coexist with them. Although humans will realize this sooner or later, it will inevitably take many detours and pay countless prices. Now let these warriors who are at the forefront of contact with alien creatures and are the most hostile , if you realize first that not all monsters are enemies, you can let them bring their own thinking back to their respective organizations."
"Do you want them to use the fastest speed to turn some of the creatures that need to be fought into their own help, just like domesticating pigs and dogs, to domesticate alien creatures that help humans survive better... I now deeply understand Why do some people say that even death will be used as a resource in your hands?" Su Hao paused for a few seconds, "So, in this rescue, you will try your best to discover more usable creatures. Bar?"
"No need." Qiu Yu's answer once again exceeded Su Hao's expectations, "We are just passers-by. All we can do is give a little push. Then, the world will continue to develop in the direction of our efforts like a perpetual motion machine. Go down."
Su Haoruo realized something and looked around.
The soldiers beside him were still watching the surroundings vigilantly, but what was revealed in their eyes was no longer the suppressed lifelessness before, but a gaze full of curiosity.
Not far away, a soldier was picking a purple fruit from the tree and smelling it carefully in front of his nose.
In another direction, someone took out a string with sandbags hanging from both ends and kept swinging it, as if trying to catch something.
On the battlefield where the worms were previously fought, several soldiers were surrounding an alien frog that was too full and did not leave immediately, carefully trying to make contact with it.
A vibrant atmosphere is quickly spreading among these teams that were formed based only on material temptations and temporary passion. They have changed from a group of zombies who only know destruction and death, to explorers who open up new territories for mankind.
When Su Hao was also infected and turned his head in a relaxed mood, Qiu Yu had already walked forward more than ten meters.
Facing this back figure that made him increasingly opaque, Su Hao chuckled and murmured, "You are such a magical person..."
