Survive

Chapter 180 Insect Tide
It was already dark in the mountains at night, and Zheng Lei realized that he still underestimated the horror of the night in the mountains. Various sounds from outside, some seemed to be right next to him, without stopping for a moment, and some came from far away. The long howling coming from the place where I couldn't tell what it was at all, it was even more frightening, and it couldn't make people fall asleep at all.

Zheng Lei has never closed his eyes. When he rescued Zhang Yinlan and killed the evolutionary in the prison camp, he obtained an ability with little combat effectiveness from him, but now it has come in handy.The visual ability has been strengthened, you can see things more clearly, capture movements more sharply, and the most important thing is that just now Zheng Lei used this ability in the dark with the idea of ​​trying it out, and found that it really works. It's night vision!

And it's not the kind of infrared or thermal energy, but it can be seen clearly and naturally!

This discovery made Zheng Lei feel like a treasure.

Immediately, he kept it there, paying attention to the movements in this small space.

"Um... are you asleep?" A tiny voice came from a dark corner and asked quietly.

"No." Zheng Lei also whispered.

"Oh..." Zhang Yinlan looked relieved: "I can't sleep either..."

"Don't be afraid, I've cleaned out the bugs inside before, and the door was sealed by Xia Luoli's vines. Her vines are very magical, and the bugs outside can't get in." Zheng Lei said in relief.

"En..." Zhang Yinlan nodded in the dark, and then said with a helpless self-deprecating smile: "Am I too timid, I know I'm safe with you here..."

Just as Zheng Lei was about to speak, he heard Professor Cui cough in a low voice in the dark, and said, "Only with strength can you have confidence. You and I are ordinary people. It has nothing to do with cowardice, it's just an instinct—I'm pretty good too." Worry."

"You didn't fall asleep either..." Zhang Yinlan smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zheng Lei suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "By the way, where were you stopped when you came here? Right here?"

Zhang Yinlan thought for a while and replied: "Let's go further in, about two or three miles in, I remember that there was a scenic spot hotel there, but when we got there, we were stopped, and they still took the tourist bureau to return us. If there is any game notice for us to see, let us play away."

"From this point of view, it is estimated that the ruins are not too far away from there." Professor Cui said.

"Well...Professor Cui, I have a question... just because I'm afraid of taking the liberty, and I don't know if it's convenient or not." Zhang Yinlan asked hesitantly.

"What?" Professor Cui followed the sound and looked up at the corner where Zhang Yinlan's voice came from.

"You're always talking about ruins and ruins... what kind of ruins are you? Are you archaeologists?" Zhang Yinlan asked curiously, and then quickly explained that Zheng Lei could see her two hands swaying in front of her face. He said: "Ah! I'm just curious, if it's a secret, I won't ask!"

Zheng Lei looked at Professor Cui, but saw Professor Cui glanced towards him in the dark, thinking he couldn't see, so he rolled his eyes, and said helplessly, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, anyway Sooner or later someone will not be able to resist telling you!"

Zheng Lei blushed, what the fuck, brother Cui, you mean something!
"Uh..." Zhang Yinlan's face suddenly became hot, and she buried her head deeply.

"Ahem!" Zheng Lei coughed a few times: "Remains of ancient civilizations, have you heard of the theory of epochs, which means that in the 46 billion years since the formation of the earth, there have been several civilizations from birth to prosperity and finally to extinction. Reincarnation, the relics we are talking about refers to the relics left by the prehistoric super-civilized civilization in the last era, of course, it may also be aliens, anyway, it will not be something in our own history.”

"There really is such a thing?!" Zhang Yinlan was shocked: "I have also heard about nuclear reactors 20 billion years ago, metal balls 28 billion years ago, etc., but I thought they were fake, could it be It’s just a weird ancient site?!”

"It would be great if that was the case." Professor Cui sighed: "It's a pity that when those things in the ruins appeared, according to our knowledge, there were no human beings on the earth at that time. In fact, at that time, maybe Spu The Rig worm probably only just appeared."

"So the place we're going to...maybe a relic of a prehistoric super-civilization?!" Zhang Yinlan's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"That's right." Zheng Lei smiled.

"My God!" Zhang Yinlan raised and lowered her hand, and said with a trembling voice: "What to do... I'm suddenly so excited! Prehistoric super civilization! What would the earth be like billions of years ago?!"

Zheng Lei was about to laugh at her, but suddenly heard something, and his expression changed immediately: "Shh! Shut up! Something is coming!"

The room immediately fell into a dead silence, Xia Luoli also opened her eyes, exchanged a glance with Zheng Lei, and then faced the direction outside the door frame together.

There was only a "rustling" sound outside, like light rain hitting the leaves in the forest, but it sounded more rigid, more like a hard carapace passing through the sand.

It felt like there were countless bugs rushing by like a tide outside.

Zheng Lei's face immediately became ugly.

Suddenly there was a rush of running sound outside, it seemed to be a wild beast, and it screamed "Wooooooo" while running. Before Zheng Lei could recognize what it was, there was a painful howl suddenly, and then that The first beast has no sound.

There is still only the "rustling" sound like a tide.

"Bang!" Something hit the vines that closed the door frame.

The vine net squirmed for a while, and countless extremely thin young vines sprouted from the vicinity of that thing in an instant, rolling up that thing in an instant.

"Don't..." Zheng Lei hastened to stop it, but it was a step too late, those young vines had already strangled that thing into pieces.

There was a sudden "buzz" outside, and the rustling sound became extremely fast in an instant, and it turned around and began to rush towards this side.

not good!The bugs were attracted by the bloody smell!
Zheng Lei was in a bad mood, he stood up abruptly and pointed behind him: "Protect them!"

I saw countless vines covering the whole room in an instant, intertwined and entangled with each other, completely enveloping Professor Cui and Zhang Yinlan like a cage.

Zheng Lei took a deep breath: "Protect them, don't go anywhere!... Let me out!"

Xia Luoli hesitated for a moment, but retracted the vines that closed the door frame.

The moment the vines were removed, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly erupted from Zheng Lei's body. He only heard a "squeak" outside the white light and a sharp buzzing of insects. Zheng Lei rushed out the door with the white light all over his body. Instantly sealed off by vines again.

What the hell!

The moment Zheng Lei rushed out, his whole body trembled, his scalp went numb, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his skin, his legs almost went limp!

Full of bugs!It was densely packed and overwhelming, as if millions of them were all concentrated here, whether it was the ground, the wall, or the vines behind Xia Luoli, they were all completely covered by insects!

Zheng Lei stomped his feet vigorously, and a white light suddenly spread out around him. The cockroach-like insects immediately retreated, and the black and shiny carapace flowed back quickly like liquid oil under the white light. , to avoid diffused white light.

Zheng Lei usually maintains the white light to keep those mutated insects from approaching his body, and usually releases flames with a wave of his hands, but suddenly thinks that other people are still inside, and if they burn here, they will also be in danger.So it changed on the spur of the moment, replacing the flame with an electric arc that overflowed and charged into the insect swarm.Immediately there was a crackling sound, and a strong, disgusting burnt smell filled the air.

The white halo under Zheng Lei's feet was retracted, controlled within a small area, and then rushed out suddenly.

The swarm of insects behind them rushed over like a flood of black oil, and the sound of flapping wings made a "buzzing" sound, chasing Zheng Lei and rushing out to the open space outside.

The black worms made Zheng Lei's hair stand on end, and Zheng Lei immediately jumped up, and the worms swarmed up behind him, rolling them up from the ground like a black tornado.

Seeing the swarm of insects sweeping over from the ground, Zheng Lei gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, the white light on his body suddenly swelled up, and instantly enveloped all the swarms of insects that rolled up from the ground into the white light, and he was covered in white light He rushed into the swarm of insects with a scalp, and then a circle of white halo spread from Zheng Lei's feet, swaying outward like ripples.

Immediately, countless bugs turned into a picture of flying ash under the white light, killing countless.

But the bugs around are still endless.

The power of these insects is not much, even ordinary people, as long as they are careful not to be bitten suddenly, they can trample several of them with one foot, but ants kill elephants more often, not to mention these more ferocious mutant insects, so Facing the swarm of insects, even evolutionists dare not take it lightly.

Now I can only distract the swarm's attention, and then continue to use white light to prevent the swarm from touching my body, and hold on until the swarm of insects dissipates by itself at dawn!
In order to reduce physical energy consumption as much as possible, Zheng Lei can only control the range of white light to the point where he can just wrap himself in, and at the same time, he needs to keep moving among the swarms, firstly, to keep attracting the attention of the swarms, and secondly, Protect yourself from being overwhelmed by bug swarms.

In this way, the stalemate continued until dawn.
