Soon, the entire expedition team was organized in an orderly manner. Walking in the front was the experienced old vulture. In order to prevent the old vulture from getting into trouble, Fang Qingyun also followed beside him in case any major problems arose that the old vulture could not solve. Once the entire team lost the guidance of the old vulture, they would be completely lost.

In the middle is Dr. Blowing Hole's car. He also took the Rookie with him. Originally, Fang Qingyun planned to let the Rookie follow Yulis in "Little Dot", but Yulis wanted to take Little Dot with him to cover their retreat. If the Rookie fell off Little Dot, it would be fatal. Therefore, the Rookie could only sit in Dr. Blowing Hole's car.

Near the car are three mining mules and a large number of Boscos. These Boscos have lighting functions and if they are dispersed, they can ensure that no bugs will raid these important supplies. Once bugs attack the convoy from both sides, Fang Qingyun and others in the front will return, and Kikuchiyo and Yulis, who are responsible for the rear and sitting on Little Dot, will also take action. This will naturally ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"So which direction should we go? You are good at this and we will listen to you." Fang Qingyun loaded bullets into his magazine. He first loaded three tracer bullets and then ordinary bullets. In this way, once the bullets were almost used up, there would be a very obvious clue. Just now, he had been thinking about the tricky insect meat and studying Dr. Blowhole, so naturally he could only do the work of loading bullets on the way.

"According to the navigator, we have to go to the drop capsules of the dwarves and penguins first, and then follow their tracks to find them." The old vulture lit up his personal terminal and adjusted the small map. The ten-kilometer location on the small map was marked as "drop capsule", and the insect passage in the middle was completely dark because it had not been explored.

"It's not easy to walk these ten kilometers. The insect tunnel is winding, and there are often groups of insects passing by. It's up to you to eliminate the insects." The old vulture picked up his plasma pulse gun. "Those dwarves probably won't bring too much baggage, so they can't go far. As long as we find their airdrop pods, it won't be difficult to find them."

"Okay, I have nothing to add." Fang Qingyun pressed the last bullet into the magazine, and then inserted the magazine into his tactical chest mount: "Well, let's go!"

Chapter 356: Dangers All Around This card is no longer suitable for this version

"... Let me remind you again, I'm not a tour guide, I'm a navigator." When Fang Qingyun asked the thirteenth question while they were scouting the way ahead, although the old vulture wanted to show his most basic respect for Fang Qingyun's strength, he was finally defeated by Fang Qingyun's "friendly" harassment. Fang Qingyun, who saw everything, was like a curious baby.

What makes Fang Qingyun better than those new miners is that if he sees something uncertain, he will never touch it, and being uneasy is often the most direct reason why new miners become disabled.

"Do you know what those purple holes are?" said the old vulture, pointing to the potholes in the purple soil on the wall. The purple soil had a honeycomb feeling, and this kind of thing was often distributed on the ground.

"Uh, the nest of the Swarming Hatchlings?" Fang Qingyun answered uncertainly. In the game, it is like this anyway. If a dwarf gets close to a Swarming Hatchling's nest within a certain range, it will refresh three waves of Swarming Hatchlings that crawl out of the nest. If the dwarf does not have a large-scale AOE ability, it is easy to be beaten to a pulp by these Swarming Hatchlings that move quickly and deal high damage.

"You actually knew that?" The old vulture did not hide his surprise that Fang Qingyun knew this point of knowledge. He had been very respectful to Fang Qingyun, but after Fang Qingyun asked a few questions, he knew that Fang Qingyun was no different from the miners he had led before, except that his curiosity and fighting power were basically proportional.

Fang Qingyun was about to complain about himself. Who would go to the miner's manual to look up the full names of all the bugs? Wouldn't they usually just mark them and then focus on them? And when they really spoke on the microphone, they would just say their titles. For example, Fang Qingyun called the Royal Guard Bug Green Butt because of its firefly-like tail, and its evolved version, the Tyrant Bug, Iron Armor Green Butt.

Therefore, Fang Qingyun was quite good at dealing with these native creatures, and he even did a good job of coordination in creating opportunities and saving bullets. For example, the two of them had just encountered a lone guard insect not long ago. Fang Qingyun gave the old vulture a look and went around from the other side, and with a few shouts, he diverted the guard insect's attention to himself.

There is no need to say what to do next. The old vulture, who was in tune with the situation, fired a burst of particle bubbles at the weak spot of the Royal Guard Bug: the green butt. When the injured Royal Guard Bug turned around awkwardly, it was Fang Qingyun's turn to step forward and shoot a few times.

In this way, with the weakness of the guns, the guard insects did not live long, but the acidic gas after death caused some insignificant difficulties for the passage of the subsequent convoys.

The other side of being good at killing insects is that he is not familiar with the local customs in the game. He doesn't know much about these little-known facts, so it is understandable that he asks about things he is not familiar with.

"Those are indeed insect nests, but insect nests are generally not distributed in this place. The most abundant things in the salt pit should be salt grains, huge salt pillars and various strangely shaped protruding rocks, just like that one." The old vulture pointed far ahead. The irregularly shaped salt pillars in front stood there upright, like a sleeping giant.

"This is actually a trap for swarming insects, similar to a horse pit. Once a blind dwarf steps into it, when he pulls his legs out, he will not only be bitten by the swarming insects in the pit, but the swarming insects next to it will also crawl out of the holes and swarm over... You can't use a flamethrower to set your teammates on fire, so you can only rely on the freezing rapid-fire cannon to freeze them," explained the old vulture.

Although in the game you can set your own people on fire and they won't lose much blood anyway, but in reality such a black gun is intolerable. When Fang Qingyun thought of the painful look on the dwarf's face, body and even beard after stepping into a trap and being pounced on by the swarming insects, he shuddered unconsciously.

"If we simply approach them, these young insects will not come out." The old vulture shook his head with a hint of ridicule. "Although these young insects are much more threatening to us than warrior insects due to their hard-to-hit bodies, high-speed movements and swooping attacks if we attack them directly, they seem to wait quietly until they mature into warrior insects before coming out in groups."

It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that there are dangers lurking everywhere here. It can be said that the difficulty of the Salt Pit map is actually relatively low, but even in this situation there are traps that are difficult to guard against. So how outrageous will the dangers be in the Vine Tree Hole, which is recognized as the underworld terrain and the most difficult map?

"And we haven't encountered these tricky air forces yet..." The old vulture recalled the time when he encountered the tricky air force, and couldn't help but tighten the gun in his hand: "Those air forces are the real threat."

"Are you talking about the Zerg Fly? Or the Mucus Bombing Fly?" Fang Qingyun's first reaction was these two things. There are two types of Zerg Flies, which are divided into single-tube Zerg Flies and triple-tube Zerg Flies according to the attack density. They are also called flies and three-eyes. Although the single-tube Zerg Fly can only fire one spike, it has a higher accuracy. The three-eyed Zerg Fly can fire three spikes at a time. Even veterans will inevitably be covered by its firepower. If a novice makes a mistake in positioning, he may even suffer damage from the three spikes.

More importantly, these alien flies are very cunning and will change their positions very quickly. They will only stay for a short period of time when spitting spikes. Otherwise, the Brownian motion that seems to have no inertia is enough to make any dwarf responsible for air defense waste bullets. Fortunately, the weaknesses of these alien flies are all in the abdomen, and as if they are afraid that the dwarves cannot see it, they are marked in eye-catching yellow. Even in the dark, the dwarves can see where their weaknesses are.

In addition, there is a type of single-barreled Zerg fly whose weak point on the abdomen is protected by a shell, which makes it even more difficult to deal with. Those shells can withstand the attack of several bullets, which is equivalent to adding several lives for a Zerg fly that is killed by a bullet in the abdomen.

"Yes, I'm talking about those two." The old vulture roasted a soldier who was creeping towards them in the dark with one volley of fire. "When the slime bombing flies used their two slime bags that were like fly eyes to spray slime, and there were a large number of alien flies on top... I can only say that the battle was very tragic. If the gunner hadn't deployed the shield generator, our bodies would have turned into the excrement of the bugs by now."

"Yes, especially that slime bombing fly. After the two slime bags were punctured, it would still bombard us with huge slime balls. The only difference is that it wouldn't leave a lot of slime after it died. I suffered a huge loss the first time I dealt with it... After the two slime bags were punctured, I just ignored it and ended up being hit half to death by the slime ball." Fang Qingyun described his experience half-truthfully. These were indeed his experiences, but they were just in the game.

"It's not easy." The old vulture found another soldier bug. Before he could raise his gun, Fang Qingyun ignited the soldier bug with one bullet. The light of the fire made the surroundings dim, as if there were many soldier bugs hiding in the darkness.

"Their numbers seem to be increasing..." The old vulture tightened the plasma carbine in his hand, seeming a little nervous: "This is not just level three difficulty, there are all four levels."

"They have already deployed their troops in the dark. If you turn on a light, you will see that the overhead and the tops of the surrounding pillars are all filled with warrior bugs. If it weren't for the fact that the guard bugs make too much noise when moving and their tails are as bright as fluorescent lights, there should be more of them by now." Fang Qingyun's hell vision has never been turned off. He has been trying not to alert the enemy. If these bugs get away and harass the convoy every now and then, their mobility efficiency will drop drastically.

The old vulture took a deep breath nervously and raised his flare gun. As long as one flare attracted the attention of all the tricky insects, he could rely on his mobility to get rid of all the insects.

Fang Qingyun pressed down the old vulture's flare gun in a slightly forceful manner: "We have to let them follow us. These cunning insects are obviously planning a large-scale offensive. As long as we block them, the road will be unobstructed for a while. But if we pull them away, what if these cunning insects scatter and dig holes everywhere to attack? Do we have to dig holes one by one?"

The old vulture thought about the team's combat effectiveness and felt that what Fang Qingyun said made sense. The combat effectiveness of the entire team was much higher than that of the original single dwarf team. There were quite a few Boscos brought down occasionally by other dwarf teams. What's more, Fang Qingyun's combat effectiveness was enough to crush these tricky insects to death one by one. To rescue the enemy when attacking and to attack the enemy when defending was also a tactical thinking.

He was really afraid that these cunning insects would not gather. Not gathering together would mean that they were planning to do bad things. If they started to harass and dig holes and create roadblocks everywhere, it would be difficult for Fang Qingyun to break through. But if they gathered together, he could just catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Then what should we do? Just wait like this?" Although the old vulture had no ability to sense life, after hearing Fang Qingyun's words, he felt that the darkness was full of cunning insects, and the feeling of seeing enemies everywhere made him much more cautious.

"There's no need to wait like this, we can also chat. For example, do you like jerky or barbecue?" Fang Qingyun and Old Vulture started talking openly about food.

"What?" Such a turn of events caught the old vulture off guard.

"Well, isn't Dr. Blowhole's laser gun broken? The heating device and battery inside are not compatible with your bubble gun, so it can only be used to make a simple oven... So do you like grilled worms or dried worms?" Fang Qingyun said seriously: "If it's dried meat, you have to filter clean salt... Well, you have to sprinkle salt on it, it doesn't matter, try both."

The old vulture stared at Fang Qingyun and suddenly laughed out loud. His wild laughter spread far away: "Those miners were so nervous when they went down the mines, and they urgently reviewed the special insect species in this area. But you are talking about what to eat..."

Food is the most important thing for people. Fang Qingyun smiled and shook his head, then his face changed drastically and he pushed the old vulture away. A blue acid hit the ground between the two of them. After seeing this, the old vulture fell to the ground, but he still shot out a grappling hook, making the acid that was shot at his butt miss the target.

"They can't help it! Kill them!" Fang Qingyun shouted.

Chapter 357, Testing Ground

"Watch out, that's a rapid-fire bug!" The old vulture held onto his grappling gun tightly and dragged himself to a safe place before releasing the grappling claw. If it weren't for the light armor on his body, his stomach would have been worn out by now. If it was mixed with some coarse salt on the ground, it would have been so painful that most people would grimace in pain. The price of such an emergency escape was that his armor was scraped with a layer of dust and salt.

The old vulture got up from the ground and rolled over to avoid the warrior bugs that were pouncing on him from the side. These warrior bugs were climbing down from the ceiling along the salt pillar in large numbers. There were not many of them coming down at the moment, but if they waited a while, they would surround the two of them. The old vulture had no time to use his particle carbine, but pulled out a double-barreled sawed-off shotgun from his belt. With two bangs, he shot the warrior bugs, who were regrouping, in the face, leaving holes all over their faces.

After putting the double-barreled shotgun into his trouser pocket, the old vulture rolled up from the ground, turned around and fired a flare that hit the ceiling with a "bang", and it was firmly stuck on the back of a certain unlucky soldier's bug. In an instant, a moving light source appeared among the bugs, and the dense and shadowy shadows of the bugs were revealed.

"There are too many of them, and we cannot handle them all. Let's retreat first!" The old vulture shouted loudly, swinging his gun left and right and throwing it up. His iron lower limbs made him look as funny as an ostrich when he ran. But once these funny iron ostrich feet stepped on the head of the bug, they would crush it to pieces with one kick, and there was no need to add salt.

Fang Qingyun took a look after the battle. The heads of the stepped insects were integrated with the ground, with a cross-shaped dent on them. Green blood was spurting in all directions, making it look like they were run over by a car.

"You go first, I have plenty of ways." Fang Qingyun was at ease. The rapid-fire bug that had just attacked was also a large fluorescent bulb, but unlike the guard bug, the rapid-fire bug was a blue bulb. Its appearance was similar to a flattened mouse, and its two capsules loaded with acid were located at the position of the "mouse side buttons". When attacked, Fang Qingyun was not polite at all and shot the rapid-fire bug with a few shots.

Although the rapid-fire bug has fierce firepower, if there is no gunner's shield generator to protect you on a plain, facing the rapid-fire bug's spray is like being shot by a machine gun in a place without a foxhole. But after Fang Qingyun shot a few shots to burst the acid sac of the rapid-fire bug, it sprayed four or five more rounds of acid and then became like a water gun without water, and could only spit out some foam.

So the rapid-fire bug could only shrink back into the small tunnel it had dug like a gopher and crawl away. Soon, the empty tunnel began to ooze out warrior bugs continuously. This time, it was not just warrior bugs. Fang Qingyun also saw a lot of blade bugs and guard bugs. The holes dug by these bugs were so densely packed that if Fang Qingyun had claustrophobia, he would probably faint by now.

Fang Qingyun and the old vulture took turns to provide cover. When Fang Qingyun retreated, the old vulture was responsible for killing those insects with long-range abilities and those that were close to him. When Fang Qingyun retreated to the old vulture, the old vulture used his hook claws to continue retreating.

Logically speaking, Fang Qingyun, who is not so mobile, should run first. Even if the old vulture with the grappling hook is caught up by the bug halfway through his cover, he can still evacuate through the high mobility of the grappling hook. But Fang Qingyun's combat power is strong enough, and how mobile he is can be decided by taking two more steps, right?

Fortunately, the tricky insects came from the front. Fang Qingyun and Old Vulture explored the next hall and made sure it was safe before letting the convoy behind them pass through the tunnel. Therefore, when they retreated, they just retreated to the hall inside the tunnel. Those tricky insects could only enter one by one through the narrow tunnel, so they could only be swatted to death by several people like moles.

Sometimes, when the bugs seemed to have almost gathered, the old vulture would take out the driller's flamethrower from the "little one" at the back and spray it into the cave. The burning flames hit the crowded bugs... It can only be said that the scene was quite bloody. A large number of bugs were stuck and could not move forward or backward. The bug in the front wanted to rush out of the high-temperature fire net, but its six limbs were burned before it reached half the distance. The smell of burnt feathers from the burning protein made Fang Qingyun cover his nose unconsciously.

Although the smell could not stop his eagerness to try, the Diao Chong was obviously not a fool. After failing in this tunnel, he naturally dug a few more tunnels. The main tunnel was for the guard Diao Chong to pass through, so it was very large. Even Fang Qingyun could walk upright in it. However, the tunnel that had just been dug was for transporting ordinary Diao Chong, and only needed space to crawl through.

Moreover, these insects were quite cunning. They did not make holes directly in the nearby walls, which would only increase the fuel consumption of the flamethrower. Instead, these insects made a long hole that extended to the rear of the convoy. Then they swarmed out of the holes and gathered together. If it were not for the unconscious hissing of a few of the insects that awakened Fang Qingyun, who was still obsessed with the flamethrower, Fang Qingyun would probably not have realized that the insects had such a surprise force until they attacked.

But no matter how many there are, it is useless. In the face of absolute force, these are just clouds. The defense of the tunnel in front was left to the old vulture. In order to prevent accidents, Fang Qingyun also specially dispatched several Bosco to assist.

Next, Fang Qingyun turned around and started dealing with the bugs behind with the other people in the convoy. Kikuchiyo stood in front of the mining mule, and the demon sword Kaigut was almost dancing out an afterimage in her hand. Although in the old vulture's opinion, Kikuchiyo's hand was always on the sword and she never pulled it out, and the bugs next to it were torn into pieces as if they had hit a laser net, but Fang Qingyun could still intuitively see the rhythm in Kikuchiyo's every move.

Yulis, on the other hand, had more of a "general" demeanor. She seemed to have no interest at all. With just a snap of her fingers, large numbers of the biting insects suddenly turned around and started biting their former companions, as if the companions who had been moving forward together just a second ago had become some kind of mortal enemy. Fang Qingyun originally thought that Yulis had the ability of mind control, but later, with the help of the omniscience of the holy sword, he realized that the bitten insects all emitted a yellow aura.

Simply put, with a snap of her fingers, Ulysse disrupted the hormones of the bitten bugs, causing them to secrete a large amount of offensive pheromones... Then they were severely attacked by their companions who smelled the scent. Naturally, these bitten bugs would not be bitten in vain, and their biological instincts made them bite back again, so the battlefield became a mess.

Naturally, the little guy also stepped forward under Yulis's command, opened his big mouth full of fangs, and splashed out green acid like water from a shower. Although the warrior bugs have a small resistance to acid, allowing them to move freely in the acid gas left after the death of the guard bugs, it does not mean that they can resist the corrosion of acid.

Although the acid sprayed by the Guard Bugs is not a low-falling projectile like the acid-spitting Bugs, but rather a sparse but continuous raindrop from all directions like a shower, once the acid falls on the body of the Warrior Bug, it will corrode a hole. The pain makes these Bugs run around everywhere, and soon the entire battlefield is turned into a mess. The Bugs that want to escape from the acid zone collide with the Bugs that want to attack, and are knocked all over the place.

And taking this opportunity, Fang Qingyun can do some experiments. Now he has tried the power of the "Hail" assault rifle. Generally speaking, the recoil is not large and the penetration is excellent. One bullet can penetrate two insects and leave the bullet in the body of the third insect. Even the guard insects with shield-like forelimbs, its shield will shatter into pieces after no more than three shots in front of the "Hail". However, because these insects are too fragile, Fang Qingyun can't test the effects of those special muzzles at all.

For example, the bleeding muzzle, before the blood had time to flow, Diao Chong was already dead. It was impossible to tell whether the bleeding was due to the good effect of the bleeding muzzle, or Fang Qingyun's shot blew Diao Chong's head, so the green blood spurted three feet high.

So Fang Qingyun tried some other more hidden little things. While the old vulture's attention was not on him, he pretended to put his hand into his pocket, but in fact he reached into the hell space and took out a jar of special stuff.

This is a smoke grenade made from the spores of a special mushroom in the Food Addiction Dungeon. Fang Qingyun collected a lot of them at that time because those special spores can have a killing effect similar to white phosphorus while maintaining their toxicity. Now Hell has been slowly producing this kind of smoke bomb.

Fang Qingyun pulled the ring and let the paddle on the grenade bounce off as he threw it out. In order to avoid accidentally hurting his own people, he threw it a little farther away.

Pink mist suddenly gushed out from the top of the can grenade and spread in an instant. The pink mist looked like something terrible like "computer accessories", but in fact it was deadly spores that could rip one's intestines apart. The surrounding insects tried to evacuate to the side the moment they came into contact with the pink mist, but were blocked by their own people and could only struggle in the pink mist.

Soon, the worms stopped moving after struggling for a few times. The corrosive spores melted through their shells, penetrated into their blood, and injected deadly toxins into them. Death came to them in an instant. The worms that had escaped from the smoke area were also emitting pink gas. After moving a short distance, they also died suddenly, like a soldier covered in white phosphorus. Only five seconds after the grenade was thrown, all the soldiers and worms within a radius of seven or eight meters lay down.

Such lethality and tragic scene made Fang Qingyun purse his lips unconsciously, but he did not regret what he did. If he didn't use these brainless beasts to test the power and limit of this weapon at this time, could he use living people or his own zombies to test it?

Chapter 358, Wow? It's new equipment. Come, let me see it!

Fang Qingyun must be prepared for any eventuality and have the mentality of "fighting magic with magic". He cannot pin his hopes on his opponent not using poison gas, but must be prepared to guard against poison gas. After all, although zombies have good regeneration abilities, which greatly increases their resistance to bullets, artillery shells, and shrapnel, it also exposes the weaknesses of their mortal bodies.

What if the other side has researched something that can denature protein? Then no matter how good the equipment of the zombies under Fang Qingyun is, it will be useless. They will naturally lose their ability to move when soaked in the poisonous gas and can only wait for the revival of hell magic. Does Fang Qingyun have to run out and tell others that what they are using is "inhumane"?

People are laughing so hard that their teeth will fall out. The bigger the fist, the more powerful it is. Inhumanity is just bullshit. Nuclear weapons are also inhumane, but aren't they made and kept anyway?

Although poison gas has various shortcomings, Fang Qingyun must overcome these shortcomings before his imaginary enemy, rather than waiting until the opponent uses it before trying to remedy the situation. Although Hell has abundant resources, its current production capacity is not yet enough to produce an entire division by pressing a button.

The shortcomings of poison gas are actually very obvious, and it is not as "inhumane" as most people think. Biological and chemical weapons are banned by all countries mainly because they "look inhumane" but at the same time have "insufficient lethality."

If this thing is inhumane but quite effective, such as the grenades during World War I and the Broadsword mines that are still in use today, and the Broadsword mines are so powerful that they can cut a living person into half a skeleton with a steel ball, then aren't these inhumane things still in use?

Poison gas needs to meet several requirements. On the one hand, where does the poison gas come from? It is impossible for the poison gas to appear directly on the battlefield, nor can it fall from the sky by spending some ammunition points. The storage of this thing itself is a problem. If you are not careful, you will end up in trouble.

On the other hand, poison gas needs to be in high concentration to kill people. It is irresponsible to talk about toxicity without talking about dosage. Even if it is arsenic, it will not kill people if you take a small enough amount at one time. Moreover, in Fang Qingyun's era, there were very few poisons that could kill people instantly, and those that could be converted into gas were even rarer. This resulted in poison gas being able to be used only in small spaces such as residential areas. When used on flat ground, the wind cannot be strong, otherwise the gas will be blown away and the concentration will be low, and the killing effect of the poison gas will be lost. Moreover, if it is against the wind, it may kill its own people instead.

Therefore, who would think that a thing that is difficult to store and prepare, can easily harm others and oneself, has a poor killing effect, is particularly dependent on occasions and places, and is useless once a gas mask is available, is good? Simple and fast is the main theme of the battlefield. It is not too late to further refine it after achieving these two points.

Fang Qingyun thought so far ahead because he was preparing for a rainy day. After all, he didn't know what kind of enemies he would encounter in the future. But the fact was that poison gas would have these obvious problems to a greater or lesser extent, and even if it was created, it couldn't be tested on zombies...

Leaving aside the psychological reasons, there was already a precedent for testing the poison gas on one's own people. That person turned into blood in front of Fang Qingyun while howling... Fang Qingyun didn't want to be the second one.

In general, the power of the "Mushroom Man" gas grenade is in line with Fang Qingyun's idea. On the one hand, Fang Qingyun has carefully observed that these spores have a certain "directionality". Once thrown out, they will stay in place obediently and can stay there for a long time. Moreover, the killing effect is amazing and they are particularly fast in dealing with small targets.

However, this is more of another type of incendiary grenade than a gas grenade. Its mission is to block the area and compress the enemy's activity space like an incendiary grenade. To put it bluntly, it is like a machine gun. The killing effect is so good that no fool would stand in front of a machine gun. Therefore, the mission of the machine gun has changed from killing at the beginning to suppression.

But Fang Qingyun was still very satisfied with this. It was a good thing to force the opponent to temporarily avoid the attack. What's more, this kind of spore gas grenade could not be defended by a gas mask. Its corrosive ability was pervasive. The only means of defense was to wrap the person into a big dumpling that air could not enter. But could they still fight in that situation?

When Fang Qingyun was contentedly taking out the second gadget, the old vulture encountered a little trouble.

Although it is easy to guard the tunnel with a flamethrower, these cunning bugs have learned their lesson. If a large number of bugs rush in, they can be burned to death. If three or four bugs rush in, they can also be burned. Why not use the least possible casualties to exchange for more fuel?

On normal days, Old Vulture could have squandered fuel without restraint, but now he didn't dare to waste it like that. On the one hand, he had no way out and might have to live on the surface of Hawks Planet. Fuels were extremely important resources. On the other hand, even if he only considered going to the mine this time, if he used up the fuel now, what would he do when he encountered a dense swarm of insects that even bullets couldn't penetrate?

So once only three or two bugs entered the tunnel, the old vulture had to use the bubble gun to shoot them back, and while he was changing the gun, a large number of bugs would squeeze into the tunnel...

This tactic caused a lot of trouble to the old vulture at one point, and even almost caused the bug to rush out of the tunnel. If the old vulture hadn't thrown out an ice grenade to delay the bug and then used the flamethrower to add just the right amount of fire, making the inside as hot as a stove, the entrance would have been lost long ago.

But even so, although the old vulture's heart was bleeding after wasting a precious freezing grenade, he still did not ask Fang Qingyun for help. After all, that side was where the bulk of the attack by the Trickster insects was happening, and a large number of them were everywhere in the mountains. In this situation, as a tunnel guard, he still had to ask Fang Qingyun for help. Did he still have any dignity left?

On the other hand, the old vulture also suffered from his own frugality. In fact, among the many equipments of the dwarves, there are ways to deal with this tactic. Engineers have a special equipment called a light machine gun turret. Once deployed, this turret can automatically lock onto the enemy and project a large amount of firepower to the enemy at the same time, but it is also a big consumer of bullets.

And for the sake of convenience, and to adapt to the increasingly rampant insect infestation in the mines, once the light machine gun turret is deployed, it will automatically fire until it is folded up by the engineer. Folding and deploying is not a small task, which also makes the light machine gun turret a bit bulky. It is useful in defensive battles, but not so easy to operate in most cases.

When a large number of Zergs swarmed up, they would all be destroyed by the flamethrowers, but the light machine gun turrets would still fire meticulously. The result was that the bullets hitting the Zergs were wasted. The Zergs that were hit suffered twice, being shot and burned.

But this problem was quickly solved by Dr. Blowhole. Although he couldn't stay outside for too long, he could still help with this little job. He crawled out of the fish tank with his gravity belt and mechanical arm, and without saying a word, he deployed a light machine gun turret and temporarily transformed it into a simple switch.

As soon as it is turned on, the light machine gun turret will start firing "da da da". Combined with the old vulture's bubble gun, it is easy to overwhelm a small number of insects under the firepower. Once those insects gather together to attack, just turn off the switch and the old vulture can go find a flamethrower.

The rookie was not idle either. Although the bubble gun in the old vulture's hand did not need to be reloaded, the flamethrower did. The rookie took advantage of the time when the tricky insects had just rushed up and were burned away by the fire, and the napalm was still burning on the wall to replace the fuel tank for the flamethrower, to prevent the tricky insects from rushing up and creating a time difference while the fuel tanks were replaced.

For a moment, both Fang Qingyun's and Old Vulture's roads were defended as solid as a rock. The only difference was that Fang Qingyun's side was mostly covered with broken bugs. Bullets, blades, and acid caused the blood from these bugs to seep into the ground, and the ground seemed to have absorbed it. The remaining green blood formed a small puddle.

On the other hand, the old vulture smelled the stench of burnt protein. Since the bubble gun also produced a high-temperature particle ball, it also produced a ball of high-temperature gas when it hit the insect. Add to that the baking effect of the flamethrower...no fragrance came out, only an unpleasant stench. The smell was so strong that one could only use a fan to draw air into the nose, and it was so smelly that it made people nauseous.

But even at this point, those tricky insects did not retreat, and still rushed up continuously to die. Fang Qingyun even suspected that he was not facing tricky insects, but alien insects that cost fifty yuan for two. With such a high degree of organization and combat effectiveness, let alone the miners coming down, if these tricky insects were smart enough to choose to attack underground, then even an army would be annihilated by them.

"The insect swarm is difficult to deal with; more information is needed." In a place that Fang Qingyun could not perceive, a powerful mental force was exploring all of this. If this powerful mental force were turned into substance, it would be enough to move mountains and fill the sea. The death of countless insects was just a drop in the ocean for it, and it was difficult to stir up waves in its heart. It was just that the variable of Fang Qingyun made it a little curious.

What is it? Perhaps it is the planetary consciousness of Hawks, or it may be the swarm master of these tricky insects, but it goes without saying that it is the commander behind these tricky insects.

"More, long-range insects; test and obtain intelligence." Its own mental tentacles spread out, and a large number of acid-spitting insects, silk-spinning insects and rapid-shooting insects seemed to have received orders and gathered in that direction at the same time. Mixed among them were some special big-bellied insects. These insects had upright abdomens and looked like mosquitoes without wings and mouthparts but full of blood.

When Fang Qingyun was trying out the "Judge I" automatic tracking pistol that Katerin had made for him, he felt Yulis climbing onto his back. This was war, not a joke. He was about to throw Yulis off his back when he heard Yulis whisper, "More cunning bugs are gathering towards us... and the number is astonishing."

Chapter 359: Swarm Consciousness

It seemed as if the entire Hawks Planet was shaking. The ground beneath Fang Qingyun's feet seemed to be alive, squirming and squeezing out thick and sharp salt crystal pillars. Although the old vulture adapted quickly, it was still difficult for him to maintain his balance. On Fang Qingyun's side, except for Kikuchiyo, who had practiced martial arts for many years and had a relatively stable lower body, everyone else was shaken to the ground.

When Fang Qingyun slipped, one of his hands was pressed into the puddle of blood formed by the green blood of the worm. When he tried to climb up with his other hand holding the "Judge" pistol, something very embarrassing happened...

Without much military training, he made a mistake... He unconsciously put his finger into the trigger guard without intending to fire, and the unexpected shock caused him to accidentally fire the gun.

He watched as the bullet shot out from the Judge pistol that had a silver skull decorated on the side. The original trajectory was straight and parallel to the ground, but the bullet seemed to come alive halfway through, and shot straight up at a 90-degree angle, hitting the rapid-fire bug that had just dug out a tunnel.

The blue body of the Rapid-Fire Bug was pierced by the bullet in an instant. Before it could even let out a scream of pain, the bullet seemed to have triggered a chain reaction that caused a small implosion. A flesh-red liquid seemed to be injected into the body of the blue Rapid-Fire Bug. The liquid spread rapidly, quickly changing the appearance of the Rapid-Fire Bug, turning it from its original blue to red.

Next, Fang Qingyun discovered that an extra unit was connected to his Hell Network out of thin air... That's right, the Judge's bullets have the ability to automatically track after being fired, and can also turn enemies into friends. Although the price of this is that the Judge only has seven bullets in a magazine, the chaos caused by these seven bullets is enough for Fang Qingyun to do something.

As soon as he had a thought, the original fast-shooting insect buried half of its body into the original hole. The other silk-spinning and acid-spitting insects that had just wanted to get out of this hole were dumbfounded. How could they get through here with such a big butt blocking the way in front of them?

The rapid-shooting insect ignored the hissing sounds of the acid-spitting and silk-spinning insects, and instead spit out a stream of blood-red acid, hitting an acid-spitting insect straight at the one that had its mouth open and was about to spit out acid. After being hit, the insect fell from the ceiling into the pool of green blood on the ground, but when it got up, Fang Qingyun felt that another unit had been connected to his hell network.

Well, this thing is also contagious. Fang Qingyun quickly realized an inhumane way to increase the labor force in hell, but that method only flashed through his mind for a moment before he abandoned it.
