During the year of wandering around the city, Lei Cheng has seen many different types of monsters. These creatures have high intelligence. They will deliberately create various traps waiting for you to visit. They will also quietly ambush around supermarkets and other places where food is stored, waiting for opportunities to hunt hungry survivors. They will even divide their labor and feed in groups like zombies lurking near the city exit. Once something is discovered, they will immediately form a network to block all routes of the fugitives, making them eventually a delicious meat food in their mouths.

Lei Cheng had never seen such an almost suicide attack before. He had never even heard of it.

It seemed as if he was deliberately trying to prove that his suspicion was not too much. From the horizon in the distance, a sharp whistling sound of objects slashing through the air suddenly came from the distance. This sound was very familiar to the soldiers. The shells that broke out of the chamber would produce the same harsh tremor when they were about to land.

"boom--"

A ball of white objects flying straight from the air fell obliquely to the center of the base, and then a shrill scream came out. It seemed that this ball of white unknown landing object had brought extremely terrible damage to the people there.

This is just the beginning. After that, this inexplicable thing poured over the strong position like hail. Strangely, they did not explode like shells, and only after the roar of the moment they fell, they did not make any sound again.

Lei Cheng was very strange. What exactly is this? It seems that it does not seem to have any threat to the bunker.

Not only him, but all the soldiers staying in the fortress felt the same. This white object seemed to be composed of some kind of mucus. When they hit the concrete layer above the bunker, they made just a "chi" sound and slowly flowed down the round fort surface.

Looking at the disgusting mucus on the fortress opposite and the white air slowly rising above it, a terrible guess suddenly surged in Lei Cheng's heart that he had never had before.

Could it be...

At this time, a recruit curiously reached out to receive a bunch of mucus flowing from the top of the fort. When Lei Cheng turned around and saw that he wanted to stop him, it was too late.

"ah--"

Screams and violent screams came out of the soldiers' mouths and unstoppable into the ears of all the present.

The crystal-clear mucus had completely swallowed his entire palm. It even gradually spread to the front of his arm along the flow of blood. The thick gray-white foam quickly expanded in the sound of boiling water, like an invisible human-eating monster biting off all the body that was in contact with it.

"Does go!"

Lei Cheng didn't say much, and roared and took out a sharp dagger from his waist, and slashed hard at the top of the injured person's arm. He heard a dull crack, and the elbow with strange mucus was cut off and fell to the ground. In just a few minutes, the belt had been boned into a pool of nauseous rot liquid with a fishy smell.

"Acne? Is it a strong acid?"

Before he could confirm what he was thinking, Lei Cheng quickly took out a roll of bleeding bandages and wrapped it around the injured soldier. The broken arm of blood gushed out soon a wet slurry poured out between the thick white cloth. When he smelled it, there was no such choking blood, but a foul stench similar to rotten meat.

"Not only acid, but also poisonous?"

Among the first aid medicines distributed by the army, there is a powerful antidote with good effect. However, in the face of this terrible venom, the medicine that was unsatisfactory lost its due effect. A few minutes later, the injured soldier's face appeared a strange grayish whitening. As his pupils dilated, the once lively life no longer had any breath.

"Everyone brings weapons to me. Move quickly!"

Without further ado, Lei Cheng leaned the body of the dead soldier in his arms against the wall. He grabbed his assault rifle on the cover, called out all the team members, walked out of the position from behind the bunker, and ran towards the pile of monsters that had been broken by the artillery fire attack.

These acids falling from the sky are really strange. They seem to be specifically targeting the overall defense facilities of the base, but they have a very accurate attack range. Lei Cheng has visually observed that the splashing location of the first batch of acids happens to be located in the base's heavy artillery group.

Could it be that the four-legged monsters that died under the cover of artillery fire only wanted to induced the distribution of their heavy firepower?

Thinking of this, Lei Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. His right hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble slightly.

His worries are not unreasonable.

These monsters are very smart. Since they know how to divide the work and work together to hunt, won’t they know how to use their own strengths to attack together?

Since the opponent can attack from a long distance, it is meaningless to stay in the bunker. Instead of defending to the death, it is better to take the initiative. Of course, Lei Cheng did not forget to report his actions to the command center in the telephone.

The surface of the land after the artillery fire has been completely blackened by zha medicine. The wet mud soaked in rainwater is soft and smooth. The high temperature generated after the shell explosion instantly drys the moisture on its surface, forming a thin layer of hard scab. The water mist that has been evaporated is mixed with the smoke that has not yet dissipated in the crater, becoming a strange gas that is both humid and full of pungent and pungent smell.

Monsters who died in the artillery fire lay all over the ground. The broken limbs and scattered meat were the most common things on this bloody land. Their heads were cut off by shrapnel or their bodies were shattered by the air waves, and they no longer had the cruelty they were when hunting humans. Instead, they were helpless and sad about their own destiny.

"Fast! Faster!"

Lei Cheng urged his teammates to shuttle between the strange and inexplicable pile of monster corpses. He did not lead the front of the team as usual, but instead bet at the end of the team carefully and pay close attention to any slight movements around him.

No one can guarantee that these dying monsters will not struggle to death, and no one can guarantee that they will not eat a few pieces of human flesh before they die, and at least be a little bitch of stuffy...

Until the smelly corpse was all gone, Lei Cheng's concern did not happen. The large-caliber artillery in the base really completed the killing mission given to them very well.

"Team, captain, look, then...what is that?"

A team member running in the front suddenly pointed his trembling finger at the front of him and shouted in a panic. Following the direction he pointed, Lei Cheng's pupils in his eyes couldn't help but shrink rapidly into two tiny needle holes.

That was a snake.

A huge and extremely stout snake.

This is the conclusion that everyone who sees it at first will give without hesitation.

However, Lei Cheng felt that it seemed inappropriate to use "snake" to call this strange creature in front of him. Even extremely unreasonable.

A round body with a diameter of at least two meters, but a monster with a body length of only five or six meters can be considered a "snake"?

Obviously, such a ratio does not match the snake.

If he was in Lei Cheng's view, he would rather call this kind of thing "worm". Although the size of this kind of "worm" is too large.

However, what kind of insect is this!

The surface of the obese body is covered with a thick layer of light yellow mucus. Their function seems to be to lubricate the contact between the insect body and the ground to reduce friction. Through these nausea fluids, you can clearly see the gray-black cuticle wrapped around its body, which looks like scales. Through the movement of the muscles, these small keratinous lobes complete the contraction and expansion, and use a squirming method to push the huge body forward slowly.

This giant insect has no head, at least Lei Cheng thinks it is. Because, in the place where it should be the head, some are just a thick and thick* that has been traversing from the edges of the two palates.

It doesn't even have eyes. It looks like it is a lower creature that perceives the outside world in a tactile way.

Lei Cheng had seen such a monster before. However, at that time, he did not observe carefully, nor did he know that he had the unique ability to spit out acid venom and conduct long-range attacks.

There are as many as twenty such giant insects. They are all lined up in a straight line, and they spew out the venom in the belly one by one towards a place that is invisible to the naked eye in the distance. Every time they are fired, the giant insect's soft neck will suddenly retract like a heavy blow. It is like an inertial reaction of a thick spring being compressed to the tightest and suddenly loosening.

"Long-range attack? Cannons? Moving biological turrets?"

Lei Cheng didn't think much about it, and turned around and called his team members to attack the recent giant insect. Over the past year, he had been used to seeing too many strange creatures, so he was numb and used to it. Even if a monster suddenly stood in front of him and talked to him in human language, Lei Cheng wouldn't feel anything strange at all.

The M5G43 has a very fast firing rate. Although it is an extended magazine of sixty rounds, it can be poured out in just a few seconds without restraint. However, such a fierce attack seems to have no effect on these huge ugly monster insects. Although their bodies have been beaten into pieces so bad that they cannot see their original appearance, they still slowly squirt their bodies and desperately spit out the disgusting and deadly death venom towards the base in the distance.

"Aim at a little bit, take the lead, be sure to take the lead. Apart from there, they have no weaknesses."

Lei Cheng shouted loudly at the recruits under his command, and took off the B5 anti-infantry grenade hanging on his chest. After pulling the striker, he pointed at the mouth of the black insect diagonally above and threw it in. A few seconds later, a loud muffled sound came from the worm's belly. The part on the side of the insect's body that touched the ground was torn a terrible crack by the explosion energy. The soft internal organs wrapped in a large amount of bright red meat and tender yellow fat were mixed with fishy blood and swelled out. The completely hollowed-out body seemed to have lost its support, shaking and falling down in the air, and hitting heavily on the cold ground. A nearby pit of a concave soil was splashed everywhere.

"Seriously injuring his body can also achieve a fatal effect."

Meditation on what he had just discovered, Lei Cheng rushed to the dying giant insect and slammed the machine towards the worm's mouth that was already weak. Until he poured all the bullets into the air and was convinced that the giant insect that was lying on the ground had died, he pulled out the empty magazine from the slightly scalded gun, took out another one from his waist and reinstalled it.

From the bomb drop to the final shooting, the whole set of movement is quite smooth. For Lei Cheng, who is used to fast attacks, this is actually nothing. However, in the eyes of a group of recruits next to him, it is no less than the most classic combat demonstration.

Strategic planning with a global concept is the most basic quality that a commander must have. In specific battles, heroes created by flexible combat skills and courage have an incomprehensible driving effect on local battles. Just like now, these seemingly basic actions are simply more useful than any instructor’s reprimand.

In an instant, the recruits suddenly felt a sense of identity that they had never felt before. It was at this moment that Lei Cheng, a young man who was only about twenty, truly became the leader in their minds.

The major was right. In the army, prestige and dignity must be obtained by relying on one's own strength.

Facing a huge monster insect alone is undoubtedly a great test for the recruits. Fortunately, these giant insects are very slow, and they seem to have no intention of attacking the enemy in front of them. They just turned around clumsyly and slowly crawled towards a place where they could try to stay away from these vicious soldiers.

With Lei Cheng's demonstration, the confidence of the recruits also expanded. They directly set up the assault rifle to shoot the monster's head, and also pulled the powerful rifle and threw it into the lower part of the crawling insect's body. After the explosion, the giant insect was unable to move anymore, so they ran forward and smashed its head alive.

Lei Cheng did not stop the recruits from killing almost crazy. He clearly remembered that when he first stabbed a horse-shaped monster's head with steel bars, the thrill of revenge filled with incomparable satisfaction instantly penetrated his whole body...

None of the twenty giant insects can escape by chance. In terms of their appearance alone, they do have the capital to scare people to death. But in terms of actual combat ability, I am afraid that those human-faced lions whose figures are dozens of times smaller than them are definitely much stronger than them.

Perhaps, the value of their existence is an existence that is almost like artillery. If you lose the protection of distance, your only end is to wait for death.

Standing in front of a dead giant insect, Lei Cheng stared at the eyesless monster head for a long time. Suddenly, he took out a sharp dagger from his waist and slashed hard at the upper part of the giant insect's lips, which was covered with holes. After a crisp crack, the huge giant insect's head was slashed in half from it. A pool of soft and sticky red and white objects flowed out between the hard bone pieces.

Lei Cheng squatted down and carefully used the tip of a dagger to pick out an inexplicable object wrapped in flesh and blood from the filth between the insect's brain. He grabbed a handful of green and tender weeds on the ground and quickly wiped off all kinds of dirt stains on it. Suddenly, a tumor-like crystal with a light red light appeared in front of him.

"Garnet?"

Strictly speaking, this crystal-clear little stone is not a precious gem. It’s just that most people like to be proud and have a high value. However, like other gems obtained from various monsters before, its appearance also made Lei Cheng fall into confusion again.

This giant insect is obviously a living organism. According to the existing scientific theory, the stone objects in the living organism can only be stones formed by various residues precipitating. Oxen, dog treasure, human stones... are the most prominent representatives. However, Lei Cheng has never heard of garnets found directly from the biological brain.

Suddenly, a bold idea that had never been seen before flashed through his mind.

"Can't it... all monsters have such a strange stone in their minds?"

Without thinking too much, Lei Cheng jumped up from the ground and rushed to the nearest insect corpse next to him. He checked the lifeless insect head and swept several times, then cut off the dagger desperately... A few minutes later, an equally crystal clear garnet appeared in his hands again.

“It’s true…”

Twenty giant insects and twenty stones.

"If I had been careful before and could search more on the monsters I killed, maybe I could get more gems, right?"

But even so, what's the use? Apart from the rare quantity highlighting its precious value, these heavy stones have almost no use.

Perhaps, they are useful. Even if they are very powerful, they are just... I don't know yet...
