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

  Devil Moth.

  One of the deadly and high-risk alien species in the wasteland.

  Although its single-body combat power is not considered strong, a nibbler might be able to fight it inextricably, but if you want to rank it according to the degree of danger, I am afraid that even the creeper will have to bow down.

  Danger factor, at least grade B or above!

  This creature usually appears in gregarious forms, its larvae feed on spirit leaves, and adults are omnivorous and mainly carnivorous.

   Larvae do not have any fighting ability, but the mouthparts of adults are extremely sharp, and their bite force is extremely strong!

  It is said that the Queen Devil Moth, the strongest in the group, can even tear steel. As for the general devil moth, it is no problem to bite through a few pieces of body armor.

  Of course, not every brood of devil moths can produce something like a devil moth queen, just like not all split claw crabs have their queens.

   But even so, it is dangerous enough.

   What's more interesting is that although this kind of heterogeneous 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 cocoons.

   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 welcomed by wastelanders such as mercenaries and caravan guards, but also sought after by the upper class of Boulder City.

  However, this kind of heterogeneous species is not common, and its requirements for the living environment are even harsher than mutant leeches.

   First of all, they need enough light and heat, and secondly, their larvae need to feed on the spirit leaves, otherwise the group will not be able to 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 also has a refreshing effect far better than ordinary coffee and tea.

  An abandoned greenhouse ruins, why do things like spirit leaves appear?

   This is what Chu Guang couldn't figure out the most.

  Looking at the description of [Makabazi] on the forum, they encountered a lot of devil moths in the greenhouse...

Ma Kabazi: "Hey! You can't imagine how unlucky I am! Brother Bian and I planned to go to the ruins of the greenhouse to see if there were any good things that could be recycled, but when we went in, we were eaten by moths! "

  Ye Shi: "It's okay to look into the grass, but it always reminds me of someone. (Funny

  Yaoya: "Hahahaha! This person died twice! Vegetable! 嶸! Hahahaha! o(*≧▽≦)ツ"

  Makabazi: #`Д)!"

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

Fengfeng: "I'm also very curious about this question. If I remember correctly, the gate outside the greenhouse is powered by electricity? And it's already rusted to death. Lao Bai bent two steel pipes and didn't pry them open, and they didn't budge even when they were blown up with gunpowder." , we all suspect that it is a game map."

Makabazi: "Brother Edge is a firefighter, and he is also a perception system. This guy walked around the tower-like greenhouse, and kept whispering to me that there must be a fire exit to get in. I thought it made sense, and I told him He searched together for a while, and sure enough, he found a security door in the warehouse!"

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

  Guangfeng: "Well, that thing is also electrified."

Makabazi: "This is the magic place! We tried to pry it open, but we could find a power distribution box in the room. Brother Edge checked the power distribution box and found that the switch inside was stuck, and the fuse Burned too. Edge dude wanted to fix it, but couldn't read the thing at all, we scratched our heads for a while, then came up with a stupid solution, unplug all the removable plugs in the box, and look around All replaceable parts were replaced."

"We didn't even think we could succeed, but after replacing a few things, I don't know if it was a battery or a fuse, the light on the door turned on magically! Then we couldn't wait to open the safety door and walked into the greenhouse... Then I bumped into the faces of those big moths!"

   Edge paddling: "It's called Devil Moth! I asked!"

  Makabazi: "Yo, Brother Edge is back? Are you okay?"

   Edge paddling: "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 was repaired by teammates."

  Crow: "o(*≧▽≦)ツ"

Fang Chang: "I just saw that the official website updated the information on the devil moth. It said 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. The leaves can be used to make stimulants."

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

  Mole on the run in the canyon: "No matter how rich you are, you have to spend your life. You see, Brother Ba and Brother Bian, one is a strength department and the other is a perception department, and they are both at LV4. In the end, they just gave them for free. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

  Fang Chang: "Well, I'm especially surprised that the perception system of LV4 doesn't have an enemy detection judgment, and the concealment of the devil moth is probably higher than that of the crawler!"

  Old Bai: "It's really frightening to think about it carefully, and there are still crops in that greenhouse? That is to say... there is 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 power supplies. Let's make a bold assumption that the safety issue that this highly integrated greenhouse is most worried about What?"

  Old Bai: "Power off?"

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

  Gust: "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 on the run in the canyon: "Are you stupid? The pre-war era in the background of the game is already half Utopia, right? Controlled nuclear fusion is not a basic idea? One kilogram of helium III can generate 1.7 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and one hundred tons is enough The whole world burns for one year. What kind of concept is this? Suppose there is a one-ton fusion fuel rod inside, let alone two hundred years, I guess it will be fine for the next century.”

  Guangfeng: "Nuclear fusion is not even used, even the solid-state hydrogen batteries that often appear in science fiction works are enough for a long time. Since hydrogen itself is not active, as long as the battery structure is not damaged, theoretically the battery can be stored for a long time."

  Ye Shi: "How is it possible?! Even if it is controllable fusion, doesn't the equipment need to be maintained?"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Then what do you want to do? Can you ask the game developer to build you a verification? Does EVE have to build you a stargate? Does JK Rowling have to give you one?" Law?"

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Fang Chang quickly smoothed things over.

   "Okay, okay, Ye Shizuan's setting is on the brink of death, let's ignore him for now, let's talk about your thoughts."

   Canyon Mole on the run continued typing.

"It's a very simple answer. I guess this should be regarded as a point for spawning monsters. The official website says that devil silk is a good thing, and the material of devil moth, as well as those spirit leaves that can be used as stimulants, are obviously high-yielding. Now The biggest problem is how to farm monsters safely. It’s definitely not good to charge head-on, even the LV4 strength brother can’t stand it, I guess it’s too difficult for others to go.”

  Following players, you and I discussed each other for a full ten or twenty pages, and Chu Guang read until the end.

   This group of people decided to try fire attack at first. Fire can restrain insect-type aliens, but the downside is that the loot will be burned together, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave anything.

   Someone also mentioned putting air-conditioning in it.

   But the building itself is durable enough, and it may not be so easy to dismantle the greenhouse. Coupled with the fact that if the facilities inside are still working and there is enough heat generated, it is difficult to say how much effect opening a hole the size of a window will have.

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

   Wait for the number of devil moths in the nest to decrease, then rush in to quickly plunder a wave and then retreat.

   As for the mosquitoes…

  He chose not to be a human being, leaving a sentence that I am the best at this job, and then he logged off 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 active substance reserve in the outpost base is still sufficient, and they can be allowed to play a little bit.

  Devil silk can not only be used as armor, but also can be used as a special product to trade with other survivors' strongholds. It's really not too cool.

  Especially as mentioned by the analysis of this group of players, it is very likely that there is a controllable fusion battery that can be recycled in this greenhouse.

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

  …

  The players are very strong in execution.

  A convoy was pulled up on the official website, and a group of people stepped on the wasteland and went online at 6:00 a.m., and surrounded the greenhouse ruins with a lot of guys.

  It is too bad to use a gun to shoot moths. When the bullets are not luxurious enough to shoot at will, cold weapons with greater trauma and lower cost are more useful.

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

The round tube as thick as your thumb is probably some kind of solid fuel cell, which can supply power to independent equipment such as gates and fire-fighting appliances. The tube as thick as your index finger is probably some kind of fuse used in professional equipment. The specific material is not clear. up.

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

  The cattle and horse teams did not participate in this operation, and the commander of the operation was the book brother "The Mole on the Run in the Canyon", who had a relatively high reputation 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 position of the underground 9-story is connected to the already paralyzed urban drainage system. I guess the devil moth came in 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! The devil moth has probably turned it into a brood!"

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

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

  [The construction site boy and Brick] nodded excitedly.

  "Good idea! Close the door and beat the dog! Go down layer by layer, and you will definitely be able to hit the brood! Those devil silks and materials, aren't we in our bag!"

  [Elf King Fugui] booing excitedly.

   "Sell it to the rich woman Teng Teng!"

  A power-type player asked.

   "The question is how?"

  [The mole on the run in the canyon] tapped on the map, and drew a cross at the end of the passage with a charcoal pencil.

"Tactically, we need two tanks in the front, using concrete waste and wood as a cover, keeping the devil moths out of the passage, and then two agility tied behind, poking out from the gap with spears! These insects They don't have any brains, they just rush over in a swarm, if you cooperate better, it should be fine!"

   "Just do it!"

  Two players of the strength department cooperated, took a temporary shelter made of woodworking, and set up simple obstacles along the safe passage leading to the ruins of the greenhouse.

  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 the sacks containing the concrete fragments on the ground, and used the wood sent in later to build a temporary fortification.

  Those intertwined wood looks like layers of nets, supported by several main beams, locking the entire half-meter-wide space tightly, and it took two hours to complete this fortification.

  These moths are as long as an arm, and the small ones have half an arm. There is no need to worry about them getting through the holes left.

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

   As he spoke, a strength 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 snap, and the bottle shattered.

  The flame sprang up with a sting, and immediately attracted the devil moths lying on the wall around.

  There was no combustible material around, and the fire didn't last long, and it went out soon.

  But immediately after these alien species discovered the "dazzling" heat sources hidden behind the crude roadblock.

   There was a teeth-stinging grinding sound.

   Moths smashed past like bullets, slammed into the wooden bunker fiercely, and squeaked the wooden stick with thick arms.

  The two sides collided firmly!

   "Damn! These moths are really strong!"

   "Hurry up and do it! I'm going to lose it! Damn!"

   "It's moving, it's moving! Bear with me!"

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

  Although not every shot can accurately hit something, but such random shots can always kill two unlucky ghosts.

Originally, the advantage of the devil moth is not its defense. The soft abdomen is like paper. When a spear is poked down, a large lump is instantly wet on the spear head, with insect blood and intestines hanging on it, as well as rubbing off the wings. of cilia.

   "Is this the end of the fuck?!"

   "Use your strength!"

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

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

  However, the unlucky boy didn't finish his sentence halfway. The wooden fortification was like a dam that broke its embankment, washed away by the insect tide.

   No matter how strong the player is, the bunker can't stand it anymore.

  The wood was bitten and fell apart.

   Soon bone and flesh too.

   Before the four little players even turned around, the connection with the clone was instantly disconnected, and they went back to the OB on the official website.

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

  The passage echoed with short mournful cries, and the deafening buzzing of wings.

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

   "Giving it for nothing so soon?"

   "I don't know... But I heard the sound, it probably disappeared."

  The first round of trials ended in failure.

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

   This time, the front row became three strength-type players, followed by two strength-type Mengxin as substitutes, responsible for repairing the bunker and 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 Goblin Technology's "Hellfire 0.3" behind him.

   This thing is sponsored by Mosquito for free, no money is charged, just return to the official website to write a user experience after using it up.

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

  However, even if he swears how fierce this guy is, he can't guarantee that there will be no other accidents.

   How about a trial product?

   It’s already free, what else do you want?

  In short, don't use the things produced by Goblin Technology if you can, and don't use them unless you have to. 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 was full of roadblocks.

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

   However, judging from the current battle situation, the progress does not seem to be optimistic.

   These moths seemed to be endless, rushing towards them wave after wave.

  In the end, the 9-man team couldn't stand it any longer, and had to use goblin technology. Before the flamethrower blew up, everyone withdrew and temporarily closed the entrance to the safe passage.

  The battle was stalemate from morning to evening. Counting the team that went in and wiped out before, the players paid the price of 4 deaths and 2 injuries.

  As for the devil moths on the first layer, probably hundreds or even more died.

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

  The battle loss 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 a monster.

  The only fly in the ointment is that there is no loot today, only a wave of vitality on the opposite side is consumed...

  Looking at the late sky, the players who had a bad nose, even if they were unwilling, could only wait for tomorrow to come again.

  For the result of "4 dead and 2 injured", Chu Guang, who was OB all the way, was completely expected and didn't take it too seriously.

   The big victory against the Predators a few days ago made the players feel somewhat lost, and it is not a bad thing to suffer a bit.

   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 is completely acceptable to Chu Guang. Anyway, as long as the VM is picked up, it is not too bad.

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

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

   It's not that hard to kill the Gnapper.

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

   So far, among the 100 new players, more than 70% have reached LV1, and among the old players, the highest level 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 short of LV10.

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

   It is indeed quite rare for a leader of a faction like myself who is not only intelligent but also brave to survive in the strongholds of survivors other than barbarian tribes.

   A little pride is not too much.

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

   At this moment, Brother Levin from 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 admiration for himself.

   "Dear Master Manager! I have an important matter to report to you!"

   Stopped and looked at him, Chu Guang said.

"explain."

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

   "Your customized armor!"

   "We're done!"
