Chapter 108 Although it is a pest, it is full of treasures

   Devil Moth.

   One of the deadly high-risk xenomorphs in the wasteland.

  Although its single combat power is not very strong, a gnawer may be indistinguishable from it, but if you want to rank it according to the degree of danger, I am afraid that even the crawler will have to be defeated.

   Hazard factor, at least Class B or above!

  These creatures usually live in groups, with larvae feeding on spirit leaves and adults omnivorous and mainly carnivorous.

  The larvae have no fighting ability, but the mouthparts of the adults are extremely sharp and have a strong bite!

  It is said that the strongest Devil Moth Queen in the tribe can even tear through steel. And the general devil moth, it is not a problem to bite through a few bulletproof vests.

   Of course, not every litter of devil moths can give birth to something like a devil moth queen, just as not all claw crabs have their queens.

   But even so, it was dangerous enough.

   What's more interesting is that although this type of alien species is no different from pests, it is not completely useless.

   For example, the larvae of the devil moth secrete a silk thread called "devil silk", which is used to make a cocoon.

  It is said that the strength of this devil silk is very high, even surpassing some high molecular biopolymers, and its material is light, so it is usually used to make armor with excellent performance. This kind of material is not only popular with wastelanders such as mercenaries and caravan guards, but also popular with the upper class of Stone City.

   However, this type of alien species is not common, and its requirements for a living environment are even more demanding than mutant leeches.

   First, they need enough light and heat, and secondly, their larvae need to feed on spirit leaves, otherwise the group cannot reproduce at all.

   As for the spirit leaf, it is said that it can be used to make a mildly addictive stimulant. Simply brewing tea can also have a refreshing effect far better than ordinary coffee and tea.

  An abandoned greenhouse site, why does something like a spirit leaf appear?

   This is the most incomprehensible place for Chu Guang.

  Look at the description of the [Macabazi] brother on the forum, they encountered a lot of devil moths in the greenhouse...

Makabazi: "Gan! You can't imagine how unlucky I am! Brother Bingbian and I originally planned to go to the greenhouse ruins to see if there were any good things that could be recycled, but as soon as we entered, we were devoured by moths! "

  Ye Shi: "It's okay to face the grass, it always reminds me of a person. (Funny

  Yaya: "Hahahaha! This person has died twice! Dish! Chi! Hahahaha! o(*≧▽≦)ツ"

  Macabazi: #`Д)!"

   Fang Chang: "Don't worry about the food, how did you get in?"

Gu Feng: "I'm also very curious about this question. If I remember correctly, the door outside the greenhouse is an electric switch? And it's all rusted to death. Lao Bai bent two steel pipes and still didn't pry them open, and he couldn't even blow them with gunpowder. , we all suspected that it was a game sticker."

Makabazi: "The edge guy is a fireman, and he is a perception department. This guy walked around the tower-like greenhouse and kept whispering to me that there must be a fire escape. He searched together for a while, and sure enough, he found a safe door in the warehouse!"

   Fang Chang: "The security door in the warehouse? I seem to have seen that one, but can't open it?"

   Gusty Wind: "Well, that thing is also powered by electricity."

Makabazi: "The magic place is here! We tried it and we couldn't open it, but we could find a distribution box in the room. The edge guy checked the distribution box and found that the switch inside was stuck, and the fuse It was also burnt. Brother Edge wanted to fix it, but couldn't understand it at all. After scratching our heads for a while, we came up with a stupid way to unplug all the replaceable plugs that could be unplugged in the box, and then searched around. Replace all replaceable parts."

"We didn't even think it would be successful, but after replacing a few things that I don't know whether it was the battery or the fuse, the light on the door turned on magically! Then we couldn't wait to open the safety door and went inside the greenhouse... ...and then I hit those big moths in the face!"

  The edge of the water: "It's called the devil moth! I asked!"

  Makabazi: "Yo, the edge brother is back? Are you okay?"

  The edge of the water: "Hey hey, it's okay, the VM is brought back, and the equipment on my body is also kept. It's just that the injury is too serious, and it was repaired by my teammates."

  Crow: "o(*≧▽≦)ツ"

Fang Chang: "I just checked the official website to update the information on the devil moth, saying that the silk thread produced by the devil moth larvae is a kind of textile material with excellent performance. The teeth of the devil moth can be used to make tools such as daggers and scissors, and the larvae can eat the spirit. The leaves can make stimulants."

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Fuck! Advanced equipment materials?! Wouldn't that make a fortune?!"

  The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "No matter how rich you are, you will have to spend your life. You see, Brother Ba and Brother Edge, one of the power system and the other of the perception system, both of which are LV4, and the result goes to give it for nothing, isn't it enough to explain the problem?"

  Fang Chang: "Well, what amazes me in particular is that the perception system of LV4 does not have an enemy search judgment. The concealment of the devil moth is probably higher than that of the creeper!"

  Old Bai: "It's really scary to think about this, and there are still crops in that greenhouse? In other words... there's electricity in it?"

Fang Chang: "This possibility is very high. The power supply system of the gate and the cultivation system inside the greenhouse may be two completely different sets of power sources. We make a bold assumption, the most worrying safety issue for such a highly integrated greenhouse what?"

  Old Bai: "Power outage?"

Fang Chang: "That's right! Unlike traditional agriculture, once this kind of greenhouse is powered off, it means that the ventilation system, water supply system, and lighting system will be completely interrupted. It only takes a few hours, which may cause the crops to not adapt. temperature, air, and light. So in addition to relying on the public grid, this facility should also be equipped with an independent power source.”

   Gusty Wind: "Well, and the backup power supply for internal facilities and external facilities should not be the same."

  Ye Shi: "What power supply can work for two hundred years?!"

The mole rat in the canyon: "Are you stupid? The pre-war era in the game background is already half a utopia, right? Controllable nuclear fusion is not a basic exercise? One kilogram of helium-3 can generate 1.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, one hundred tons is enough The world will burn for one year. What is this concept? Assuming that there is a one-ton fusion fuel rod inside, let alone two hundred years, I estimate that it will be fine for the next century.”

  Gale: "We don't even need nuclear fusion. Even the solid-state hydrogen battery that often appears in science fiction works is enough for a long time. Since hydrogen itself is not active, as long as the battery structure is not damaged, the battery can theoretically be stored for a long time."

  Ye Shi: "How is that possible?! Even if it is controlled fusion, does the equipment need no maintenance?"

The canyon is running away mole rat: "Then what else do you want, do you want the game developer to build one for you to verify? Does EVE have to build a stargate for you? Does JK Rowling have to give you one? Law?"

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fang Chang quickly settled the situation.

   "Alright, alright, Ye Shidiao's setting is on point. Let's ignore him for now and tell us what you think."

   Canyon Fleeing Mole continues typing.

"Very short answer, I guess this should be regarded as a monster spawning point. The official website said that devil silk is a good thing, as well as the material of devil moth, and those spiritual leaves that can be used as stimulants, which are obviously high-yield. Now. The question is, how to farm monsters safely. It's definitely not possible to face the front, and even the LV4's power system can't stand it, I guess it's hard enough for others to go."

  The following players discussed each and every word for a full page or 20, and Chu Guang saw it all the way to the end.

   At first, this group of people decided to try a fire attack. Fire is just right to restrain the alien species of insects.

   Someone else mentioned letting the air conditioner in.

   But the building itself is durable enough that it may not be so easy to dismantle the greenhouse. Plus if the facilities inside are still working and producing enough heat, it's hard to say how much effect a hole the size of a window can have.

   Finally, after some discussion, a group of people decided to lead the devil moths out of the safe passage, and then destroy them one by one outside.

   When the number of devil moths in the nest is low, rush in and quickly loot a wave and then retreat.

   As for mosquitoes…

   He chose not to be a person, and left a sentence that I am the best at this job, and then he went offline from the official website early and went to the game.

  Chu Guang didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't interfere with the players' gameplay. Now the outpost's reserve of active substances is still sufficient, allowing them to kill a little.

   Devil's silk can not only be used as armor, but also can be traded as a special product with other survivor strongholds, which is not too cool.

   In particular, this group of players analyzed and mentioned that it is very likely that there is a recyclable controllable fusion battery hidden in this greenhouse.

   If this is the case, then you will really make a fortune!

  …

  The execution of the players is very strong.

The    official website pulled a team, and the group stepped on the wasteland time at 6:00 in the morning and went online on time, and surrounded the greenhouse ruins with a lot of guys.

   It’s too bad to shoot moths with a gun. When the bullets are not luxurious enough to shoot at will, cold weapons with larger trauma areas and lower costs are more useful.

   A group of people split up and quickly found the structure diagram of the greenhouse, and found some replaceable parts that had not been looted.

The thumb-sized round tube is probably some kind of solid fuel cell, which can supply power to independent equipment such as gates and fire-fighting appliances. The index-finger-sized round tube is probably some kind of fuse used in professional equipment. The specific material is unclear. .

   Not all settings of this game are exactly the same as reality.

  The Bull and Horse Squad did not participate in this operation, and the commander of the operation was the more prestigious "Mole Rat in the Canyon", who is a relatively high-ranking man in the forum.

   As soon as everyone heard that he was an unemployed painter who changed careers, they immediately invited him to the position of commander.

   Brother Mole lived up to expectations and quickly formulated a battle plan.

"The entire greenhouse is divided into an above-ground part and an underground part. The above-ground part has only 5 floors and the underground part has 10 floors. According to unreliable analysis, the location of about 9 floors underground is connected to the paralyzed urban drainage system. I estimate that the devil moth came from there. Yes, the spirit leaf seeds are probably also brought by them!"

   "The 10th floor underground should be the location of the backup reactor! It is very likely that the devil moth has turned it into a mother nest!"

   "According to the description on the design drawing, there is an active closing valve communication between the first-layer greenhouse and the second-layer greenhouse."

   "Strategically, we close the valve and cut off the connection between the first layer and the other layers, so that the entire first layer is ours!"

  【The Construction Site Boy and Brick】 nodded excitedly.

   "Good idea! Close the door and hit the dog! Go down one layer at a time, and you will definitely be able to hit the mother's nest! Those devil silk and materials, aren't we in our pockets!"

  【Elf King Fugui】was excitedly booing.

   "Sell it to the rich lady!"

   A power player asked.

   "What is the problem?"

  【Canyon Fleeing Mole】Knocked on the map and drew a cross at the end of the passage with charcoal.

"Tactically, we'd need two tanks up front, using concrete scraps and wood as cover to keep the devil moth out of the tunnel, and two agile tethered to the back, with spears poking out through the gaps! These insects! I don't have any brains, I just rush over, cooperate a little bit, it should be no problem!"

   "Just do it!"

  Two power-based players cooperated with temporary shelters made by woodworking, and set up simple obstacles along the way in the safe passage leading to the greenhouse ruins.

  These obstacles are mainly to facilitate their retreat, so as not to be surrounded by the devil moths that pounce on them.

   When they were about to approach the exit of the passage, the two forces threw sacks containing concrete fragments on the ground, and used the wood sent in from behind to build temporary fortifications.

  Those interlaced wooden layers of nets, supported by several main beams, tightly lock the entire half-meter-wide space. It took a full two hours to complete this fortification.

  These moths are as long as an arm, and the small ones are half an arm, and the holes left are not to worry about they will get through.

   "Everyone get ready, I'm going to pull monsters!"

   said, a power player took out a molotov cocktail from his waist, stretched it out of the bunker, lit it, and threw it towards the open space in the greenhouse.

   There was a crisp sound, and the bottle was torn apart.

   The flames sprang up with a stinging sound, and immediately attracted the surrounding devil moths lying on the wall.

   There was no combustible material around, and the fire didn't burn for long, and it went out quickly.

   But then these aliens discovered the "dazzling" heat sources hidden behind the simple barricades.

   The sour scratching sound came.

   Moths smashed past like bullets, slammed into the wooden bunker hard, and slammed the arm-thick wooden stick with a creaking sound.

   The two sides collided firmly!

   "Damn it! These moths are really powerful!"

   "Hurry up! I can't hold it anymore! Hey!"

   "It's moving, it's moving! Please bear with me!"

   The agility player who squatted behind did not dare to hesitate, and immediately stabbed the spear in his hand, retracted it, and stabbed it again, repeating the simple and primitive piston movement.

  Although not every shot can accurately pierce anything, but if you stab like this, you can always stab two unlucky ghosts to death.

Originally, the advantage of the devil moth was not its defensive power. The soft abdomen was like paper paste. When a spear was poked, there was a huge wet lump on the spear head, hung with the blood and intestines of insects, and rubbed down from the wings. of cilia.

   "Fuck it, is this over?!"

   "You guys use some force!"

   "Hey! I've tried harder, but this is too much!"

   "I can't stand it anymore! Stop poking, come and help me—"

   However, the unfortunate boy was only halfway through his words. This wooden fortification was like a dam with a broken levee, washed away by the insect tide.

Even if the    power-type player goes to the top, the cover will not be able to withstand it.

  The wood was bitten to pieces.

   Soon bones and flesh too.

   The four little players haven't even turned around, the connection with the clone is instantly disconnected, and they go back to the OB on the official website.

   Since there was no chance of retreat at all, the roadblocks they left along the way were completely useless.

   The passage was filled with short wailing and deafening humming of wings.

   Several players guarding the entrance of the passage exchanged glances and looked at each other.

   "Give it away so soon?"

   "I don't know...but I heard the voice, I guess it's gone."

   The first round of trials ended in failure.

   However, these players did not give up, on the contrary, they became more and more courageous, and soon began the second round of action.

   This time, the front row became three power-type players, followed by two power-type Meng Xin as substitutes, responsible for repairing the bunkers, and at the same time replacing the exhausted players in the front row.

   In the back row are three agility players, each carrying 4 spears, and a physique player carrying the "Hellfire 0.3" of Goblin Technology on his back, lining up behind.

  This thing is sponsored by Mosquitoes for free, no money is charged, just go back to the official website and write a user experience after you run out.

   It is said that this version of "Hellfire" is equipped with a flashback valve, which will no longer cause the flame to burn back along the fuel.

   However, even the mosquitoes who swore to blow how fierce this guy was, couldn't guarantee that there would be no other accidents.

   How about a trial product?

   is already free, what do you want?

   In short, the things produced by goblin technology can be used if they are not used, and they must not be used unless absolutely necessary. This is also the teaching of the frontline commander, Brother Mole, to the soldiers.

   The nine players were finally ready and headed towards the passage together. The crowded formation filled the road.

   They are completely at odds with these moths, and they will not give up until they find this place back.

   However, based on the current battle situation, the progress does not seem optimistic.

  These moths seemed to be inexhaustible, rushing in wave after wave.

   In the end, the 9-man team couldn’t stand it anymore, so they had to use goblin technology. Just before the flamethrower blew up, everyone withdrew and temporarily closed the entrance to the safe passage.

  This battle was stalemate from morning to evening. Counting the team that entered the group and destroyed before, the players paid the price of 4 deaths and 2 injuries.

   As for the first layer of devil moths, there are probably hundreds or even more dead.

   As for the specific amount, it is not clear. After all, there is no way to count the results in this case, and it can only be estimated by feeling.

   The battle damage ratio is 4:100+, which can be said to be very strong. It is difficult for ordinary survivors to even have the courage to walk into the lair, let alone face such monsters.

   The only fly in the ointment is that there is no loot today, only a wave of the opposing force is consumed...

  Looking at the early sky, even if the players who touched the gray nose are unwilling, they can only wait until tomorrow.

   For the result of "4 deaths and 2 injuries", Chu Guang, who was an OB in the whole process, was completely expected, and did not particularly take it to heart.

   The players won a big victory against the predators a few days ago, and the players were somewhat lost, and it is not a bad thing to suffer a little loss.

  Fire attack is a good idea, but quantity is a problem, and hunting is different from war, the former needs to save materials.

   Maybe try smoking next time?

   As the price of growth, a small number of casualties are completely acceptable to Chu Guang. Anyway, as long as the VM is picked up, it is not a big loss.

  Especially Chu Guang recently discovered that gnawing eaters can also extract active substances.

  Although the amount is pitifully small, one can only provide 0.1~0.2 units, and the waste discharged is useless. It can only be thrown into the septic tank as biological waste, but it is better than nothing.

   It's not that hard to kill gnats.

  As long as they are not encountered in the narrow terrain such as subways and ruins, even a new team can rely on kite play and easily kill a few.

   Up to now, more than 70% of the 100 new players have reached LV1, and the highest level among the old players has even reached LV6, and they are almost touching their taillights.

  Chu Guang's own "manager" sequence has been developed to 9%. In game terms, it is LV9, and it is only a little bit closer to LV10.

   Maybe command another battle, or follow the players to gain experience, maybe they will break through.

   It is indeed quite rare for a leader of a faction like himself to be not only intelligent but also incomparably brave.

   A little pride is not too much.

   Chu Guang, who was patrolling the industrial area with a sledgehammer on his back, thought so.

   At this moment, Brother Levine of No. 81 Steel Plant suddenly trotted towards him.

   This little player blushed like a stove, and he didn't know if it was blown by the northwest wind, or out of admiration and worship for himself.

   "Dear Manager! I have something important to report to you!"

   stopped and looked at him, Chu Guang said.

"Say."

Brother    Levine clenched his fists excitedly and took a deep breath.

   "Your custom armor!"

   "We're done!"
