Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 97 Pest Control Program
96103 carried the SVD on his shoulders somewhat depressedly, slammed it on a ponytail in the tent, and sighed: "I thought Persephone could send someone who could solve the problem, but it looks like this , You don’t know as much about dark beetles as we do... To deal with these insects, strong strength is not enough.”

Qi Lin touched his nose and was speechless for a while.

Zero Three is right, the weak defeats the strong, and the more defeats the less. This is a characteristic unique to many social insects. For example, in the old days, in Africa, there was a kind of army ant. Small ants swarmed in groups, which could change the color of an entire armed army. These army ants did not rely on individual strength.

One or two dark beetles Qi Lin may be able to kill directly with a bone blade, but if more than ten dark beetles besiege Qi Lin, then Qi Lin will gradually fall into a disadvantage. If the number increases to twenty...

Let Han Shuang and Ling San wait to collect their corpses...

"Then what suggestions do you have?" Qi Lin asked after glancing at Frost and Ling San.

"If you have permission, ask Persephone to call in a few flamethrowers, high-end ones that use metal fuel, ordinary low-temperature flames have no effect on those bugs at all, or just give up this area, Let other consortia develop it." Zero Three said calmly.

metal fuel?Even if this kind of thing is in Thunder City, there won't be many stocks. Even if Persephone has it, she will definitely not waste it on a group of bugs. When it comes to giving up, it seems that it is still a bit too early.

Qi Lin suddenly thought of his experience in dealing with Assassin spiders, and asked, "Have you noticed where the leader of this group of dark beetles is, for example, the king and queen of insects, if there is no leader? , their actions cannot be so orderly."

All living creatures that live in groups should logically have a leader, otherwise, in the course of a long period of life, unavoidable chaos will inevitably occur, and this is the same even for humans.

There is a beast king in the herd, and there should be a queen in the swarm.

A group of dark beetles commanded by a leader can be as powerful as an army. Otherwise, some stragglers would never gather together, let alone condense a black fog as wide as a football field at once.

But who knows, Hanshuang and Lingsan both shook their heads.

"No. We once observed a swarm of insects in the distance, and there were no special individuals, unless the leaders of these insects looked almost the same as ordinary individuals, and could hide themselves in the swarm—but, you also know , the probability of this is really low."

"Although the possibility is very low, at least there is this possibility. Let's do this first. You guys go prepare your equipment. Tonight we will go outside the camp to observe the movement of these bugs, and then make a decision."

……

……

At night, in an abandoned office building 500 meters away from the "Ninth Camp of Lexingshield", the three of Qi Lin gathered in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of an office on the fourth floor of the office building, silently solving the problems they held in their hands. A cold can for dinner.

The floor-to-ceiling windows had been shattered long ago, and the bitter cold wind kept pouring into this spacious large office. If all three of them had not evolved, and their strength was far beyond ordinary people, an ordinary person would have been frozen by now .

"According to the activity rules of this group of dark beetles, they will usually cruise around the campsite in the early morning hours, and occasionally attack the camp's single guard players, but I don't know why, after so many days, even bugs should understand It's not difficult to take over this camp, but they haven't really launched a full-scale attack on the entire Ninth Camp."

Zero Three put away half of the leftover cans, lay down behind the SVD mounted on the window, and watched several intersections where dark beetles might appear through the sights on the SVD.

At night in the wasteland, the light refracted by the moon to the ground is not very bright, and the dark and dull carapace of the dark beetle is particularly easy to hide. Generally, people at this distance cannot detect the dark beetle at all. However, Zero Three is different. One of her evolutionary genes overlaps with Qi Lin's ability—dark vision.

Qi Lin was also aiming at the intersection at the other end with the PSG-1. In this way, under the crossed vision of the two, if the dark beetle wanted to approach the camp, it would definitely be spotted by one of the two.

As for Frost, at this time she was the most idle among the three.

The night was getting darker, and there were fewer players walking around in the ninth camp. Just when everyone thought that the dark beetle would not appear, a black shadow suddenly appeared from a street corner in Qi Lin's scope. Abducted out.

"coming!"

Qi Lin shouted in a low voice, Ling San immediately turned his gun to that street.

It was a huge gray-black beetle, which looked like an upside-down squashed oval face when it was lying on the ground, but once it was sent up, its speed was quite astonishing.

The beetle passed quickly diagonally, and stopped in a backlit corner about 200 meters away from the camp.

"That's an outpost, it's used to mark the target and direction of the large army of the swarm." Ling San pressed his face tightly on the SVD's gun stock, and explained to Qi Lin in a low voice.

Due to the dark beetles, during this period of time, the Ninth Camp basically did not have many people patrolling the outside of the camp. The only sentry post was a guard on the roof.

The Ninth Camp was established on the basis of an old "Golden Arch" restaurant on the corner of the street. On the iconic huge "M" letter, there were two players wearing thick cotton coats holding an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle. Judging from the performance of the two, it is obvious that the camp has not been spotted by the dark beetle.

"You mean, didn't those bugs invade the camp before?" Qi Lin asked the two of them while staring at the bug that was dormant in the dark.

"Never, my old lady is also very strange, obviously if those bugs attack the camp, no one can survive..." Frost whispered behind Qi Lin.

"Could it be that there is something in the camp that makes them afraid?" Speaking of this, Ling San was also full of doubts.

It's like a group of wolves surrounding a large flock of sheep that have no resistance, but they are slow to launch an attack... Although the game is a completely simulated environment, the follow-up behavior of mutant creatures depends on the calculation of the main brain , There shouldn't be such an extremely abnormal behavior.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters, just like the Li family castle, if it wasn’t for Isaac’s reasons, those different types of mutant creatures would not gather together——

"Wait, what's that?!" Qi Lin originally planned to go back to get a telescope with a thermal imaging function in his backpack, but at the moment he turned his head, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a telescope nearly a kilometer away. On an abandoned tall building outside, there seemed to be a black figure standing there!

And that figure was stretching out an arm straight ahead, maintaining a very weird posture——

　Alas, LPL is cold, and I don’t want to touch the game of LOL recently... It’s uncomfortable, I really don’t want to watch the Korean team’s civil war in the Bird’s Nest.

　　In addition, thanks to the book friend [Hunfeng] for the reward——
