Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 5 The world is crazy
Half an hour later.

The "mother" who did not find its target took away the corpses of the monsters on the ground.

Only when they could no longer hear the footsteps, feel the vibrations, and confirmed that it had gone away did the few "locals" hiding in the hall finally relax.

The bonfire was rekindled and the closed windows were opened. The air mixed with the lingering stench of the mother animal rushed in, awakening Chen Jian a little from his trance.

The scene captured by the drone just now has exceeded the limit of his cognition. Even though he knew that he had traveled through time, it was difficult for him to accept the fact that such a monster that completely violated the basic laws existed in a short period of time.

A monster three or four meters tall is not uncommon. The largest brown bear can be nearly three meters tall when standing up.

Can it be 20 meters? ?

This size of monster appeared on Earth, so it must be traced back to the Cretaceous period, right? ?

Chen Jian frowned and turned to look at the guide beside him, who was walking towards him.

"My name is Du Hu, and I'm a hunter!"

"It's safe now. The mother parade has ended."

Hearing his words, Chen Jian nodded slightly and asked:
“How often do parades like this happen?”

Du Hu was stunned for a moment, seemingly surprised by Chen Jian's question.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't know the time of the mother's parade?
If they didn't even know this, how did they survive?

His mind was full of questions, but when he thought of the powerful fighting ability the other party had displayed on the street, he felt that he had nothing to hide and nothing to fear.

So he answered honestly:
"It will come out to look for food about once every five days, but if there are too many praying mantises dying, it will come out to collect the bodies."

"Where do you come from? Don't you know the Matrix?"

Chen Jian's expression changed slightly.

Not only do I not know the Matrix, I don't even know where this place is!

Technically, I've only been here for two hours, okay?

What can you expect me to know?
Looking at Du Hu who was waiting for his answer with expectation, Chen Jian let out a breath and said frankly:

“We just got here, we don’t know anything.”

Hearing his words, all the locals in the hall froze in place.

Their expressions were quite complicated. In addition to surprise, there was more of a hint of disappointment.

Du Hu wanted to ask more questions, but a short-haired woman who came up to him patted his shoulder and interrupted him.

Then, the woman asked Chen Jian:
"You are not the Holy Blood, but you come from the north. Are you the Mechanicus?"

What the hell? !
The woman's two sentences left Chen Jian completely stunned.

Holy Blood, Mechanicus.

The impact brought to him by these two religious words was almost as great as that of the giant beast, and even made him doubt whether he was still on Earth.

But the moon and stars don’t lie, and neither does the sextant.

So he asked a crucial question:

"What year is it now?"

The woman looked at Chen Jian in confusion and asked:
"What do you mean by several years?"

It’s over.

Even the most basic calendar system has collapsed. One can imagine how difficult the survival conditions of human beings in this world are.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and continued to ask:
"How long ago did this world become like this?"

The woman shook her head again and replied:

“No one knew that I was like this when I was born.”

“But at that time, there were still many of us.”

"Later, there were more and more monsters and fewer and fewer people. We originally had more than a hundred people, but now there are only five left."

There is no need to continue asking.

Judging from the ages of the four normal people in this small base, they must be the second, third or fourth generation born in the apocalyptic wasteland period.

Due to the sharp decline in the population of the settlement, most of the information disappeared before it could be passed on. It is almost impossible to obtain more useful intelligence about the origin of the disaster from them.

So Chen Jian decisively skipped this topic.

He wanted to continue asking some more specific questions, but at this time, the corpses of unknown animals on the campfire had been roasted and it was time for the locals to eat.

The man in charge of the barbecue respectfully invited the four members of Chen Jian's team to come over for dinner, but out of caution, Chen Jian waved his hand to refuse, and just sat in a corner relatively far away from the fire, taking out the remaining emergency rations to fill his stomach. The two teams looked at each other from a distance.

On one side, there is the special operations team armed to the teeth; on the other side, there are refugees struggling to survive.

Each side holds something that the other side desperately needs, so even though suspicion and distrust are out in the open, everyone tacitly maintains relatively friendly contact.

But Chen Jian didn’t know how long this friendship could last.

At this time, the smart terminal had summarized all the information, and the four of them were discussing the next plan while biting on compressed biscuits.

"It is now basically certain that we are living in a post-apocalyptic world."

"The main threat to humanity is those monsters, but monsters are definitely not the reason why humanity has come to this point."

"There must be a stronger force majeure, maybe a virus, maybe something else."

"This force majeure should have disappeared, because the woman just said that the reason for the sharp decline in the number of people in her settlement was the monsters, not some other incomprehensible factors."

"This is a very serious problem. What do you think?"

After hearing Chen Jian's words, Shen Yue replied:

"First of all, we must solve the problem of survival."

"We have run out of food and water, and only have 1 base amount of ammunition left."

"Fortunately, I brought a lot this time, otherwise we would have run out of ammunition and food by now."

"I still have one and a half bases left."

He Shuo interrupted.

"Give some 7.62 to Shen Yue. In this situation, the machine gun is much more useful than the sniper rifle."

"clear."

He Shuo nodded and continued:

"There is another key point, which is the 'mother'. The mother is obviously more powerful than the so-called 'praying mantis', but we can't be sure what the relationship between the two is."

"There is still too much missing intelligence. We must maintain contact with this refugee group."

"I think so too."

Chen Jian nodded and added:
"As a follow-up long-term goal, we should focus on finding larger settlements."

“The larger the settlement, the greater the amount of information.”

"As for weapons and ammunition, if they cannot be replenished in a short period of time, we will try our best to avoid unnecessary fighting."

"If they can survive with cold weapons, we should be able to survive if we use weapons with limited force."

"clear."

"receive."

The team members answered one by one and swallowed the emergency rations in a few mouthfuls.

At this time, the refugees on the opposite side had finished eating their barbecue.

Chen Jian observed their movements with some curiosity, trying to figure out as much as possible how they survived in this doomsday world.

This is also an excellent teaching material for the future actions of his team.

However, something happened that completely confused him.

Except for the "mutant" named Du Hu, the four normal people all took off their clothes.

Then, three women and one man, as if no one was around, did those unspeakable things in the empty hall.

No one made a sound, no expression of joy, not even any unnecessary movement.

The scene was extremely weird. Not only was there no sense of romance, it even made Chen Jian feel physically nauseous.

the reason is simple.

While doing this, those people didn't look like humans, or even like beasts.

They are like insects.

They have no emotions, no physiological feedback, they are just insects that parasitize on this land and are controlled by the extreme and simple reproduction instinct.

Chen Jian turned his head and said with difficulty:

"Fuck, this world is crazy."
