Chapter 504 503. Insects are coming

  The swarm is here.

When    realized this fact, Shuangxin felt a lot calmer.

  After witnessing how humans in the old era went into destruction, how they became these swarms, and the bridge connecting to another world, Frost Heart didn’t know why, and even the fear of the swarms dissipated a lot.

   As a researcher, she may be able to use some philosophical thinking methods to explain these issues, but in the final analysis, she has already understood the characteristics, origin, and purpose of these swarms.

  When a thing changes from the unknown to the known, or from the unknown to the known, the sense of oppression and fear it brings will be much smaller.

  When a catastrophe with absolute power that destroys and destroys, and no one can stop it sweeps, human beings have no way to analyze, understand, and explain it, then it is the real terror.

  These disasters were called gods by human beings in ancient times when the technological civilization was backward.

   But with the development of human civilization, the unknown has become known, the knowable has become known, and even human beings can predict these disasters and thoroughly analyze its cause, process, and end.

   Then these disasters lost their divine status and became ordinary natural disasters.

The same is true for    swarms.

  Although the overwhelming sea of ​​swarms still makes every wastelander feel trembling and fear from the bottom of their hearts, in Frostheart's view, these swarms are actually just poor people who suffered when the end came.

   "The swarm may be heading towards the wormhole, we must get out of here immediately."

  Shuangxin said.

Being found by the scouts of the swarm means that the army of the swarm will follow. The swarm usually covers more than a few kilometers of desert. They burrow into the ground, soar in the sky, meander in the sand, looking for everything that can be found. devoured things.

   Once found by a bug, it means that the entire swarm is watching, and the core of the swarm will guide those bugs to surround the prey and devour it.

  While these bugs may not damage the wormholes and buildings here, the crossing of bugs is a disaster for the humans in them.

   She and the singer immediately ran towards the house where Lu Kizuna was.

  Ke just took two steps when the wall beside the road suddenly collapsed.

  Shuangxin saw that a bug was stumbling and crawling up from the rubble at the top of the collapsed wall.

This bug has eight slender legs, the body is only about the size of a human head, and the surface is covered with a layer of fine hair, just like a huge spider, only the part of the mouthparts, the fine and dense are tentacles, those tentacles extend, trying to catch things in the air.

  The body surface of the worm is full of pits and pits, and there are many wounds, some of which have even completely torn the shell of the worm, revealing the dark flesh underneath.

   Obviously, this bug was swept here by the sandstorm just now.

   In addition to this bug, Shuangxin also saw the corpses of some bugs nearby. Those corpses were hit by the sandstorm exceeding the speed of sound, leaving some broken remains scattered among the ruins of the industrial park.

   It must be that the bugs encountered a sandstorm during the movement, and damaged many of the same species due to natural disasters.

   Even so, in such a storm, these bugs could still preserve relatively well-preserved corpses, and even some survived, one has to feel that their vitality is strong.

   For Frostheart, it means something else.

   "These bugs have found us."

  Shuangxin didn't hesitate, and before the bug had fully reacted, she reached out and grabbed one of the bug's legs.

   The countless tentacles in the mouthparts twitched immediately, trying to wrap around Frostheart.

   But its action freezes quickly.

   Hoarfrost rose from the surface of the bug's body, as if oozing from under the skin.

   The next moment, the whole bug was frozen into an ice sculpture, which was very conspicuous on the dark yellow desert.

   In the distance, the pitch-black insect swarm suddenly stagnated for a moment.

   Immediately, those swarms became fanatical, like hunters who found treasure, bugs with a dozen legs, bugs with three pairs of wings, and bugs like snakes lurking under the gravel.

   All the bugs moved in the direction of the ruins of the industrial park, rustling, leaving messy traces.

  Frost Heart and Singer came to the bottom of the house where Lu Han was, and called out to the two of them.

"What's wrong?"

  Stokes his head out of the room in an instant, his face is ashamed. Obviously, the sandstorm just now has also affected the place.

   "The swarm is here."

  Shuangxin's simple words made Shannan's expression suddenly serious.

   "Swarm."

  Instantly said something to Lu Han in the room.

  Lu Kizuna was still printing the data, he nodded.

   Although he didn't know how the swarm discovered this place, Lu Kizuna had expected that he would encounter those worms somewhere.

   After all, this quest is definitely a quest that can get in touch with the insect swarm, but the insect swarm has not been discovered after so long, so he can not help but wonder if the insects have long been hiding under the sand.

   He put the documents into Mosana's luggage and patted the boy on the shoulder.

   The two climbed down the stairs destroyed by the sandstorm, and Lu Bian glanced at the direction the swarm was coming from.

   The black dots visible to the naked eye have been scattered over the desert in the distance.

According to Lu Bian's idea, he still really wanted to get in touch with the swarm. After all, he had [Cat Poisoning] in his carry-on bag, which could control those swarms to a certain extent, and Lu Bian still needed to get the heart of the swarm. It is necessary to go deep into the center of the swarm and find the queen.

   But stay here, others will surely suffer.

   "We found a wormhole."

   Walking towards the camel bugs on the edge of the ruins, Shuangxin shared her findings.

   "Wormhole?"

  Lu Kizuna quickly understood what this discovery meant.

   He stopped.

"The wormhole must be destroyed. If the wormhole is not destroyed, then the swarm will come to this world endlessly. We can run now, but our mounts cannot travel for a long time, and the future city is near here. Those robots may will also be attacked by the swarm.”

What he said was indeed the truth. The insect swarms crossed the border and no grass grew. It might have been because of luck that the Future City was not discovered before, because the exterior of the Future City was all concrete structures, and the insect swarms were not interested in stones, but now, after the sandstorm swept through, The solar panels in Future City must have been damaged. Maybe when the robots came out to repair and check, they would attract the attention of the insect swarm.

   Not to mention, when the solar panel is damaged, waiting for the fate of those robots will only run out of energy and can no longer be turned on.

   "What can you do?"

  Shuangxin obviously did not agree with Lu Bian's statement. At this time, what she wanted was to protect everyone as much as possible.

   "I have something that I once found in the ruins that attracts swarms of worms, and I try to attract them near the wormhole and destroy them all at once."

  Lu Bian explained, seeing Shuangxin and others still wanting to object, he didn't hesitate and took out the silver pen [Last Words].

   In Rikizin's hands, the 【Last Word】 changed shape and became a long-barreled revolver.

  嘭——

   Lukan hit two teammates with two shots, they immediately flew out of the ruins, and in a blink of an eye they had already landed on the ground.

  Shuangxin wanted to say something, but Lu Bian had already smiled at her.

   "Don't worry, I have to attend the New Year's Eve bonfire in the evening."

  嘭——

  Shuangxin felt that the world was spinning, and she was also pushed out of the ruins by a huge force.
