Traveling to another world, I made a two-dimensional girl into a card

"Just turn the knob," the scout shrugged nonchalantly and took another sip of beer. What dangerous things could there be in space? The radar interface was something that would only be used once in a thousand years, so it might as well be used to play games.

Ethan turned the button, and instantly dense red dots appeared on the radar interface. Seeing this scene, Ethan was first shocked by the current bad situation. They had been surrounded by a large number of meteorites and might be smashed into space junk at any time. Then he was angry at the scouts for leaving their posts. Finally, he realized that his superiors seemed to have given them orders before.

Ethan rushed to the communicator amid the scout's puzzled expression, turned on the communicator and quickly finished what he wanted to say: "Space Drilling Platform No. 73 is being hit by a meteor shower and is about to make an emergency landing."

After putting on the communicator, Ethan didn't dare to delay for a moment. He slapped the tipsy gunman and engineer next to him to wake them up, and pulled everyone into the drop capsule. Now staying in space would just wait to become the third-level orbital garbage rain. If they went down in the drop capsule, they might still have a chance of survival.

I must stop drinking for the scouts later... Ethan thought angrily. When the airdrop capsule was rapidly descending, Ethan realized that he was too anxious when he came down just now. In addition to weapons, they seemed to have not brought any survival supplies? But it was too late to regret now.

"--Fuck!" Along with Ethan's angry curse, the airdrop capsule entered the landing process of space orbit.

——Inside Hawkes Planet——

"Everyone be prepared for impact. If you don't want to die, use your arms and legs to support your body," Fang Qingyun shouted loudly, and then took the lead in making this move. Although his physical fitness would not cause damage to his internal organs due to vibration even if his belly was pressed against the ground, this move was mainly done for the dwarf miners to see. If they didn't understand Fang Qingyun's words, they could at least follow him, thus minimizing the probability of miners getting injured.

So the dwarves with short arms and legs all followed Fang Qingyun's method and propped up their bodies. This posture can effectively prevent injuries caused by artillery shells. After all, the force of the vibration is first transmitted to the limbs, and then transmitted to the body after the force is unloaded from the limbs. This minimizes the damage to the human body caused by the vibration. It is effective against artillery shells, and should also be effective against this kind of earth-shaking vibration.

The salt crystal cone was hanging upside down on the ceiling, and after such a violent vibration, it fell down like rain. Fortunately, the dwarf had a portable shield, and after the large salt crystals did not hit him, the remaining small salt crystals as thick as arms could not penetrate the dwarf's portable shield at all. They could only break a small piece on the portable shield and then slide to the side. The broken parts were scattered on the dwarf's neck and exposed arms like flowers from the sky, and after melting in the sweat, they made people feel painful.

After a while, the vibration was not as violent as it is now. Although it still came in waves, the intensity was obviously much smaller than before. Many dwarves were even able to maintain their body shape during such shaking, instead of rolling around like a rolling gourd.

The rockpox meteorite did not penetrate the earth's surface as Fang Qingyun had imagined. After all, it was just a piece of stone that fell from the sky. Although it was accelerated in the universe, its power was not that great after deceleration in the atmosphere. It only blasted large pits hundreds to thousands of meters in size on the surface, like a nuclear bomb. The shells of many insects on the surface were shattered into pieces under the impact, and Fang Qingyun felt like he was sitting in a large washing machine, which could be rolled up and thrown onto the ceiling at any time.

The speed of this meteorite was already astonishing... Although it did not directly penetrate the ground and reach Fang Qingyun's level, the large number of potholes still caused trouble for the handling of the rock pox, and the Diao Chong Tunnel was inevitably collapsed due to such an impact. For a time, the situation on the entire Hawkes Star became a mess.

Meteorites were still falling from the sky, and the dwarves underground were praying that the tunnel would not collapse. Only Fang Qingyun was upset because he had overestimated the power of the meteorite after it landed.

He originally thought that the meteorite would fall directly on their floor.

Chapter 386: The Ground Melts and Rock Pox Spreads

In the high-temperature crater, rockpox has begun to spread silently, like multi-segmented, spotted crimson tentacles covered with yellow eyes falling from the cracked meteorite. After contacting the hot ground, it is like a glutton seeing a table full of feasts, greedily pouncing on it and beginning to expand its coverage.

In just a few minutes, a large number of tentacles penetrated into the ground like plant roots. The entire land became dry and dull in color, as if the nutrients inside had been sucked away. If someone scooped up a handful and smelled it, they could smell a special meaty smell from the soil that should have smelled earthy, like bedding that has been rolled in by someone who hasn't taken a bath for a long time, with an indescribable meaty and strange smell.

Accompanied by cracking sounds, many meteorites fell to the ground and created craters. The surface of the meteorites heated up due to friction in the air, which served as protection for the rockpox mother body inside. Now that they had arrived at the location, these meteorites were naturally useless. The rockpox tentacles that protected the mother body gathered together, slowly straightened while curling, and began to crack the meteorites like a slowly starting jack, with a slow and unstoppable momentum.

Along with the sound of crackling, the outer shell of the meteorite made a sound of being overwhelmed, as if it saw hope of breaking through the blockade, and the rockpox tentacles inside became more excited. With the increase in force of the rockpox tentacles inside, the outer shell of the meteorite, which had not yet completely cooled, was forcefully broken open under the action of the rockpox tentacles, and a large number of fragments were ejected far away.

When the walnut-like meteorite cracked, the "meat" inside, that is, the rockpox tentacles, naturally drilled out. Although the action when opening the shell was not quite right, resulting in many rockpox tentacles being hit by flying fragments and some rockpox tentacles being pressed by meteorite fragments at the wrong angle and unable to move, these were not a problem for the rockpox tentacles, after all, their number was endless.

A large number of Rockpox tentacles waited until the crater had completely cooled down before taking action. Although the Rockpox plants and fungal mats that were like lichens were resistant to high temperatures, which allowed them to maintain vigorous vitality near the magma and thus parasitize on the surface of the planet to obtain nutrients, the Rockpox tentacles that could move like animals did not have this resistance. Their main responsibility was to parasitize and infect other organisms, rather than parasitizing the soil like Rockpox.

Therefore, the rockpox tentacles have a certain ability to move, but this also makes it less capable of overcoming the objective environment than ordinary rockpox plants. These rockpox tentacles quickly find their targets... some carnivorous worms with parasitic abilities. This special type of worm is not under the jurisdiction of the thorns because they are not of the genus Tripterygium, and they are even incompatible with Tripterygium.

However, they do not fight the insects head-on, but parasitize on the insects like wireworms. They will maintain a certain tacit understanding and just let the insects eat more, which will not pose too much threat to the insects' life safety.

In the special dwarf crisis warning of "parasitic infection", most of the insects encountered by the dwarves have carnivorous worms in their bodies. Therefore, once those insects are killed, the carnivorous worms that have lost their nutrition source will attack the dwarves. Although their bodies are fragile, their attack methods are quite unique.

Worms as thick and long as a dwarf's arm would drill in and out of the ground like dolphins, and when they came out they would jump very high, as if they were afraid that the dwarf would not be able to hit them. This is how they approach their enemies.

However, these worms can jump high and drill fast. The soil in front of them is like a pool that they can enter and exit freely. The speed at which they drill in and out interferes with the dwarfs' hit probability to a certain extent. Therefore, when encountering a large number of carnivorous worms rushing over, even an experienced driller with a flamethrower can only fight them 30% to 70%.

The 3:7 cooking here means: "3" seconds, "70% done", and the dwarves can "start" eating and have a full meal. If the first reaction of these worms after catching up with the dwarves was not to take a bite, maybe they would become another kind of pet for the dwarves?

Soon, these carnivorous worms discovered the things that fell from the sky. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, their poor intelligence made them salivate over the rockpox tentacles. Originally, they kept a distance from the rockpox tentacles, ready to wait and see. But one of the carnivorous worms suddenly couldn't stand the "tender and juicy" appearance of the rockpox tentacles, so when it pounced on it to feast on it, the remaining carnivorous worms couldn't stand the temptation either. They swarmed over and even started fighting each other, not knowing that every bite they took would be their death warrant.

The Rockpox Tentacles did not resist. It could even be said that they were eager to be eaten by these carnivorous worms. Therefore, when the Rockpox Tentacles were eaten by the carnivorous worms, changes began to occur in the carnivorous worms...

Just like the mother rockpox infecting the land, the veins of the rockpox plants pierce out from their stomachs, anchoring themselves firmly in the body like fishhooks. The carnivorous worms, sensing something is wrong, feel like they have swallowed a fishhook - easy to get in but hard to get out. No matter how they struggle, the spikes and infections extending from the torn rockpox tentacles stick to them like a thorn in the flesh, and it is too late to regret at this point.

A large amount of infectious mist gushed out from the carnivorous worm's internal organs. After the mist came into contact with the carnivorous worm's body, it began to shape it rapidly. A large number of rockpox colonies were produced in various parts of its body and then connected together. Various twisted spikes inserted into the carnivorous worm's body and began to twist. These spikes intertwined with each other like the forks of tree branches, covering the carnivorous worm with a simple layer of armor.

By this point, these carnivorous worms have completely become puppets of rockpox. Their ability to think for themselves has been deprived, and they have become pioneers and carriers of continued rockpox infection.

Although rockpox do not have collective thinking, their instinct tells them that they must elevate the position of the infected organisms in the entire food chain as much as possible. Carnivorous worms can only be considered the lowest, and they should infect more other organisms next.

Unfortunately, under the planning of Fang Qingyun and Jingci, most of the Diao Chong were scattered underground. Although many casualties occurred due to tunnel collapse under the bombardment of a wave of meteor showers, they had no intention of digging tunnels to the ground. The sporadic ones only contributed to Yandou's cause, while the clustered ones were likely to be turned from enemies to friends by Yandou's traps and become puppets in their hands.

Therefore, under the restraint of thorns, the thorny insects that were attacked by meteorites did not rush to the ground, but repaired the tunnels to ensure that the tunnels would not be infected. As long as there were no problems in each tunnel, it would not be easy for rockpox to break out on a large scale.

After obtaining a new body and wandering around the surface, the rockpox tentacle did not find anything else worth infecting. After searching for a while, the rockpox infected body finally set its sights on the cat-cat worm, which had no fighting ability.

The catworm is a special insect species on Hawks that feeds on minerals. It has a fat, soft, white belly that can collapse a kang like an orange cat. It is filled with various materials, including gold and saltpeter. The catworm is not aggressive, and has a cute appearance and an icy, soft touch that makes people love it.

When moving, caterpillars rely on their short limbs and suction cups like caterpillars, which allows them to move up and down as if walking on flat ground. Their speed is as slow as a lazy cat. All of this makes caterpillars a particularly favorite pet among dwarves.

Some dwarves even use cat-and-mouse bugs as their team's mascot and symbol. After all, cat-and-mouse bugs with minerals in their bodies are in a sense a symbol of wealth, and cat-and-mouse bugs that feel comfortable to the touch naturally represent the dwarves' rare warmth... Only when saltpeter is urgently needed to save lives will the dwarves kill the cat-and-mouse bugs after hesitating for a long time.

Therefore, when the infected carnivorous worms approached the cat-cat worms, these cat-cat worms without natural enemies were still basking in the sun leisurely. Most of the cat-cat worms were used to living underground, while a small number of cat-cat worms yearned for high places like cats. This is also where there are many cat-cats. When the dwarf returned to the airdrop cabin after a circle, he found that the cabin was full of cat-cat worms. What else can he do? Take these cute little guys back?

Therefore, some cat-worms will climb up along the straight up and down passage dug when the airborne capsule lands, and it is not impossible for some lucky ones to reach the surface.

Although these cat-cat worms saw the ill-intentioned carnivorous worms, they still basked in the sun lazily and leisurely, and occasionally meowed. Their bodies swayed like shaking wrinkles, making crackling sounds when skin and flesh collided. They looked chubby and very cute.

Unfortunately, these cute things are nothing in front of the carnivorous worms. Yellow mist sprayed out from the carnivorous worms, quickly covering everything around them. The body of the cat-cat worm in the mist became deformed, and its originally fat and soft abdomen became infected like mold or a spider web. A large number of rock pox multiplied on its body, quickly covering the entire body of the cat-cat worm.

When the fog completely dissipated, the catworms had completely turned into hideous monsters. The minerals that were originally in their bodies now covered their surfaces like spiked armor, and their short and cute limbs were replaced by sharp arthropods. The originally cute appearance was combined with the sad and twisted rock pox spikes like ****, making them look a lot more bloodthirsty.

Once these cat-cat worms get close to their target, they will launch... a harmless attack. After confirming that the attack is ineffective, the infected cat-cat worms will tremble violently and then explode, leaving behind a large amount of infectious yellow mist. The minerals that originally formed the spiked armor will also turn into scattered fragments, destroying everything around them.

After confirming its control over the catworm, the rockpox tentacles began to advance further underground.

Chapter 387: Tragic Condition on the Surface

On the other side, when the vibration of the meteorite began, three of the 250 teams out of the 1,000 people sent by Fang Qingyun were wiped out instantly. It seemed that the violent vibration caused a local landslide, and the zombie infantry of the three teams were buried by more than ten tons of boulders in an instant. Although Fang Qingyun gave these zombie infantry the best equipment so that they could shuttle through the rain of bullets, it did not mean that they could withstand more than ten tons of boulders... It was a pity for those equipment. Every bit of equipment destroyed would be one less. The current hell has not yet reached the point where such advanced equipment can be consumed at will.

There is not a huge shortage of zombies, so all we need is biomass. Now Hell is still in contact with the world of the zombie army. The corpses are moved over there as biomass, and we exchange them for some materials that are urgently needed in that world. For the time being, the biomass stockpiled is enough. If that doesn't work, we can just farm and then put the plants into the decomposition pool to convert them into biomass. Without herbivores to make a profit, the recycling effect of plants is better. Therefore, Hell has always had plenty of manpower.

Although there were casualties in other teams, it was not a big problem. Fang Qingyun had already anticipated the possibility of casualties, so he prepared a "Recruiter" communicator for each team member in advance. Although the name of this thing is a communicator, its biggest function is actually to revive teammates.

Therefore, even if the zombie team suffered heavy casualties, it would not be a problem. As long as there is one zombie alive, it is only a matter of time before the remaining zombies survive. If the current level of technology and magic in Hell was not high enough, Fang Qingyun would have wanted to expand the team to about twelve people, and arrange some Hell mages to supplement the combat power. But now these are all empty talk. The productivity of Hell has not reached that level. Although Antina has become the Great Mage of Hell, the way to train mages in Hell has not yet been completely formed, and mass production is not so easy.

At the same time, when Carl felt the vibration that almost threw him into the air, he decisively lay down on all fours. At the same time, amidst the shaking of the raging waves, he shouted loudly to the leader of the dwarf guards next to him: "Hurry up and call someone. Tell that idiot Buster that a fight has started here!"

After the vibration ended, Fettig, whose hands and feet were numb, struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled towards the supplies brought down by the dwarf guards. Fortunately, the chemical protective suit was not damaged by the vibration, and except for some dust on it, it was still in a relatively intact state.

"Hurry up and change your clothes! It's better to stay in the chemical protective suits now than to be too late later." Fettig shouted loudly to the dwarf guards who were shaken to stagger around. When the dwarves in the dwarf guards swarmed towards the chemical protective suits, the chaotic look made the miners next to them frown unconsciously. You know, although these dwarf guards are well-armed and strictly trained, they don't have much practical experience, so various problems will arise when working in a team and facing emergencies.

For example, when changing into chemical protective clothing, if the miners need to change into chemical protective clothing, they will consciously line up in teams. The miners who have changed into chemical protective clothing will immediately replace those who have not changed into chemical protective clothing to stand guard, ensuring that the miners will not be attacked while wearing half-pants. If they rob in a disorderly manner like the Dwarf Guards, once they are attacked by infected insects, not to mention being wiped out, heavy losses are inevitable.

The leader of the dwarf guards quickly called Buster. As Buster's direct guard, they naturally had such authority. Before the leader had time to say anything after dialing Buster's number, Buster spoke at the speed of a machine gun and told us everything that had just happened: "Listen, the meteorite has landed, and now seven or eight space drilling platforms have observed the meteorite shower, and one space drilling platform has lost contact with us. So no matter what backup you have now, use it quickly. At least clear a safe area for me. Personnel and equipment assistance will arrive soon."

It seemed that because these things involved Buster's basic interests, Buster did not delve into the issue of inaccurate time, because at this time it would be useless to pursue responsibility. Buster, who is a businessman at heart, directly skipped the process of shirking responsibility and quickly moved on to the solution.

Fang Qingyun, who was not very clear about this, decisively pushed Carl forward. He himself had never communicated with Buster, and it was too difficult to explain it clearly. It would be better to let the professional Carl do it. Carl also knew that this was not the time to dawdle. He took over the communicator that the leader had voluntarily given up and communicated with Buster: "We will immediately clear the rockpox creatures above our heads. Then this will be the first landing point. That's it. We will take off from underground immediately. We will talk about anything we need later."

Buster didn't waste any words. He just hummed and hung up the call. At this moment, he was like a rolling slime. His fat body burst out at high speed. He directly skipped the process of wrangling and interests in the meeting and directly hung up the call to the management bosses who were in charge of the drilling platform under him: "I don't care what method you use, anyway, concentrate all resources, supplies, and personnel at the coordinate point I sent you...If you can't do it, just wait for your deeds to be exposed."

Buster hung up the phone after saying these harsh words. His swift and decisive attitude made the management bosses who were in charge of the drilling platform look at each other in bewilderment, but in the end they chose not to ask any questions and just execute Buster's orders. You know, although Buster didn't do anything good on weekdays and was always sneaky and cunning, this was also the reason why he had the leverage over his subordinates. If Buster exposed what they had done, they would be in great trouble if not dead.

It has to be said that Buster is capable. If Carl were to use the name of righteousness to try to persuade these greedy management bosses, by the time they offered a helping hand, Carl would probably be finished. They naturally have a thousand and ten thousand ways to delay, even if they say that the application is not compliant. They always have plenty of ways to back off. But if Buster, who is more ruthless than them, were to threaten them, they would go through all the procedures themselves and then quickly send reinforcements.

"Okay, the problem is solved. Next we will head to the surface." Carl nodded to Fang Qingyun. Thinking of Fang Qingyun's mysterious teleportation ability, Carl put forward his own idea: "Is it convenient to open a portal there? If so, we can save a lot of time."

Fang Qingyun thought about it. You know, such a huge vibration from a meteorite fall will definitely cause all kinds of debris to fall, and even the sturdy Diao Chong Tunnel will collapse. Then the deep well that was not reinforced when the airborne capsule was dug out would naturally be a ruin. Maybe the airborne capsule has been covered with all kinds of stones at this moment. Not to mention that the airborne capsule was crushed by the rocks, but taking off from the spot and reaching the surface is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

So it seems that the only way for them to go up is through the portal? But Fang Qingyun himself has difficulties. He has no way to go to the surface. Although he can open the portal, he needs to have been to a place, that is, he needs to have the exact coordinates. The surface is just a passing place. When passing by, Fang Qingyun was still locked in the airdrop cabin and did not look directly at the surface. Therefore, Fang Qingyun could not open it even if he wanted to. If he really wanted to open it, he could only rely on the help of thorns.

For safety reasons, Fang Qingyun put on a chemical protective suit and nodded to Jingzhi. Jingzhi took Fang Qingyun's hand and guided Fang Qingyun's thoughts to the surface. In Fang Qingyun's current vision, the yellow rock pox proliferated rapidly like bacterial division, and the accumulated yellow vacuoles spread on the surface like tumors, as if Hawkes Star had grown yellow blackheads. The densely packed vacuoles made Fang Qingyun suffer from claustrophobia.

He opened the portal, then stepped out from the thorns, and reminded the dwarves in front of him who were about to drill into the portal: "Put on your gas masks and chemical protective suits. The situation this time is very serious. I suspect that a neutron extermination will be needed to clean up these things."

Several sloppy dwarves from the Dwarf Guard quickly put on the gas masks on their heads. After making sure that the dwarves were ready, Fang Qingyun took the lead and rushed into the portal.

After crossing the portal, the dwarves realized that what Fang Qingyun said was true. The rockpox plants had covered many places. At least, wherever they could see, there were all kinds of rockpox. The disgusting yellow vacuoles that looked like pus and the dancing tentacles covered with tumors were multiplying wildly on the rockpox fungal blanket. There was yellow mist of unknown toxicity floating everywhere, which seriously interfered with the dwarves' vision. In addition, there were quite a few patrolling infected creatures that were vague in the mist...

"Shit, is that a cat-cat bug?" a dwarf said, pointing at a fat white thing that came running towards them after noticing them from a distance. The dwarves who saw that thing started swearing. The infected cat-cat bug now looked like a seven-spotted ladybug with protruding wings, and its spider-like arthropod-like legs that crawled quickly. It was extremely creepy.

Fang Qingyun shot the infected cat-worms to death with one shot, and the bullet of the "Judge" shot through the infected cat-worms. However, although the cat-worms that were injured like this lost their ability to move, they would not just wait to die.

The originally fat body began to tremble on the spot, and with a loud explosion, saltpeter and gold shot out in all directions like shrapnel, sinking into the surface of the rock pox with popping sounds. Some of them even broke the yellow liquid bubble, and the sticky stuff like snot flowed out from inside.

Fortunately, the location where the catworms exploded was relatively far away, and no one was injured. Fang Qingyun raised his gun and reminded all the dwarves: "Be careful, they are not the species you are familiar with after being infected. Kill them as quickly as possible, and return alive."

"Got it!" The dwarves responded loudly.

Chapter 388: Uncontrollable Infection

"What should we do, boss?" The eldest brother came out of the portal behind Fang Qingyun. The four penguins wearing chemical protective suits looked like a cute Baymax. Although the four little ones posed in the familiar pose to be cool, because they were dressed like astronauts in Among Us, there was a kind of funny feeling that was difficult to describe in words while being cool.

"Be safe and play freely." Fang Qingyun was a little worried about the safety of the Penguin Team, but after they suffered such a big loss, they should be alert to everything around them so as not to fail again... Fang Qingyun also thought about whether he should remind the rookie, but he quickly thought that this thing was like a flag. It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but if he mentioned it, the rookie would definitely fail.

This is like putting a label on a button saying "Do not touch". If it is not put on, few people will press it when they have nothing to do. But if it is put on, quite a number of people will touch it because they cannot control their hands or curiosity. So Fang Qingyun swallowed the words and reminded the boss with a rather vague statement.

"Okay, boss, guys, it's time for us to go out!" The boss gave an order, and Rui Ge, who had suffered losses from these things before, spit out a flamethrower from his stomach with murderous intent... Then it became embarrassing, the flamethrower that Rui Ge spit out was still inside the chemical protective suit. Unless he was desperate and wanted to set the chemical protective suit on fire, Rui Ge's method of taking things from the stomach would not have any combat effectiveness at all.

Rui Ge swallowed the flamethrower back in annoyance. Although he wanted to go back underground through the portal at this moment, take off his chemical protective suit, take out the things, and then come out to kill everyone, he still understood what "do not take off the chemical protective suit before disinfection" meant. Now the chemical protective suit isolates him from the infection, so if he takes off the chemical protective suit later, he will inevitably come into contact with the source of infection on the outside of the chemical protective suit... Then Rui Ge will become an infected penguin.

Seeing Rui Ge's frustrated look on his face about not being able to join the battle, Fang Qingyun shrugged his shoulders and threw the pile of explosives and boxes he had prepared to the ground. The various infected creatures around were still approaching, and he didn't have enough time to help Rui Ge solve his doubts.

At this time, Rui Ge, who was still feeling annoyed, felt the vibration when a heavy object fell next to him. After turning his head, Rui Ge instantly recovered his strength. He was so excited that he even stuck out his tongue. He couldn't let go of those explosives, grenades and other messy things with smooth shells, and even rubbed his face against them like a lover, and he was just short of licking them with his tongue.

After weighing the explosive in his hand, Rui Ge aimed at the area where catworms and carnivorous worms were most densely infected, like a veteran grenade thrower, and threw the grenade with the string pulled and the plectrum ejected.

I have to say that Rui Ge is quite knowledgeable in using explosives. The grenade he threw landed accurately in the middle of the infected bodies. Then the huge explosion almost blew up the surrounding infected bodies. Fang Qingyun could see that a considerable number of the infected bodies were blown into flesh and blood all over the ground. They did not have the recovery ability of zombies. Even if they were zombies, it would be difficult to revive them under such circumstances.

Most of the explosives prepared by Fang Qingyun were offensive grenades, that is, the kind with more gunpowder and less shrapnel. The killing mainly depends on the explosion. After all, if a defensive grenade is accidentally thrown into a group of one's own people, there will be no way to escape. What's more, the large amount of fragments produced by the defensive grenade are lethal even at a distance of fifty meters. Even if the fragments do not cause serious accidental injuries to the dwarves, once the fragments cut through the chemical protective suit, the dwarf who is directly exposed to the source of infection will be doomed.

"Is this gun fake?" The boss fired two shots with the M1000. Ever since he lost one hand and one foot in the underground and had to "kill" his way out with a rifle, the boss has become dependent on this semi-automatic rifle used by dwarves. No matter where he goes, he will habitually carry one with him. But now he has encountered a rather embarrassing situation...

The original M1000 could blow the head of a soldier bug with one shot if the shooting was accurate enough. But now, after the boss used the M1000 to fire a magazine of eight rounds at an infected cat bug, the cat bug was still stubbornly moving forward on its limbs. This made the boss have some self-doubt. He even wondered if the gun in his hand had not fired at all. However, the ejected shell casing told him that all this was his fantasy. In fact, his round of bullets did not cause any fatal damage.

Koloski, who was lying next to the boss, began to analyze with his whiteboard and marker. The squeaking sound made by the pen tip and the whiteboard was teeth-grinding. Koloski first drew a very sloppy sketch of the infected catworm, and then drew eight small crosses on the catworm's body, representing the places where the bullets hit. Then Koloski began to use his "I think" analytical ability.

"It's not the gun's fault, it's the bullet's accuracy and power." Koloski drew a few lines to represent the trajectory of the bullets when they were shot. "Five of the eight bullets hit the minerals that were protruding from the body of the infected catworm. In addition to knocking away a small piece of the mineral, these bullets did not cause enough damage to the natural armor of the infected catworm. The remaining three knocked one away, and the other two were scratches."

"That is to say..." Koloski drew a not-so-straight line and set the intersection point at the face of the infected catworm: "Theoretically, there is a 97.31% chance of hitting this place. One shot can kill the infected catworm. Or choosing a more powerful weapon is also a solution."

Now it was the boss' turn to be in trouble. His shooting skills were not good to begin with, and the target was the infected cat-and-cat worms, which moved quite fast. More importantly, the infected cat-and-cat worms kept their heads down when charging. If the dwarf had not replaced Fang Qingyun's weapon, the only non-explosive weapons that could effectively kill the infected cat-and-cat worms would probably be the gunman's large revolver and miniature machine gun.

For example, the M1000 is a medium-caliber gun for the dwarves, but a small-caliber one in Fang Qingyun's eyes. It is just a "toy" similar to the .22LR with extended small-caliber ammunition. As for the dwarf's GK2 assault rifle, although it is easy to use in the eyes of the dwarves, for Fang Qingyun, it is at best a steel needle launcher, and the recoil is too small to be used as a toy.

The dwarves' large-caliber miniature machine gun should be considered a squad machine gun. After all, the caliber of the bullet is similar to the medium caliber that Fang Qingyun knows. By adjusting the amount of bullet powder, it should be compatible with the bullets of the "hail launcher".

The rookie came over. He wanted to prove himself at this moment. He just fired two random shots anyway. Plus, the dwarves below seemed to have suppressed the infected that were rushing over. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for him to try out the gun at this time. However, in the process of proving himself, the rookie stepped on a not-so-smooth stone, lost his balance, and fell towards the boss, accidentally helping the boss pull the trigger.

The M1000 bullet was fired from the muzzle and accurately hit the mineral carapace of an infected cat-cat bug, knocking off a corner of the protruding mineral in it. The deflected bullet then shot at a tricky angle into the back of the cat-cat bug's head, which was only half of the palm's width exposed after it lowered its head... This was not the end yet. The piece of mineral that had been knocked off a corner spun and got stuck in the carapace and neck of a charging infected cat-cat bug. The infected cat-cat bug, unable to raise its head, rushed headfirst into the back of its own people, causing the tragic scene of a chain car accident.

"Well done, rookie." The original boss might be a little reserved and arrogant, subconsciously treating the rookie as a child who knew nothing about the world and treating the rookie as a child or a mascot. Although this is a kind of protection, it is also an insult. But ever since the rookie brought Fang Qingyun from another world to save them, the boss, who has seen the cruelty and coldness of the real world, gave up his original policy and adopted a more appropriate educational method.

The rookie covered his head, not knowing what he had done, but after hearing the boss's praise, he still accepted it embarrassedly.

The other side of the dwarf.

"Team Arapa, clean up the infected bodies that are approaching. Watch out for the infected carnivorous worms that may come out from under your feet and attack you." The leader of the Dwarf Guard commanded: "Team Bramo, pay attention, don't feel sorry for the cat-cat worms anymore. If you don't want to become a monster like that, open fire with all your strength. Team Charlie, prepare to clean up the infected area. Burn it with fire first."

The Arapa team charged forward with their guns raised without hesitation. The four-man Arapa team charged forward in pairs, bending over like well-trained special forces and being as nimble as cats. The infected bodies that tried to block their way were shot to pieces. Moreover, although these dwarves did not load tracer bullets for the last three shots to remind themselves, they should have the habit of counting bullets.

When there are about ten rounds left in their magazine, they will start to feel for new ones. When changing bullets, they will also shout "Load", and then install the new magazine while ensuring that the chamber is not empty. This way, there is no need to pull the bolt handle again to load the gun, and the loading speed is obviously much faster. Even if the firepower is reduced for a moment when reloading, this vacuum period is so small that it is unpredictable.

Perhaps special forces with the same level of training could seize the vacuum period and make a timing attack, but these infected bodies would definitely not be able to seize the opportunity.

After completing the fire suppression, the dwarves of Charlie's team put on flamethrowers and sprayed at the thriving tentacles and yellow bubbles on the ground. The flames that could easily burn the rockpox to ashes seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier in front of the rockpox. The high-temperature flames made the dwarves in chemical protective suits sweat, and the rockpox's reaction to this did not change except that the bubbles slightly reduced in size.

"Flames can't burn these things!" members of Charlie's team shouted to their leader.

"Increase the firepower and try again! If it doesn't work, I'll ask them to come up with something more powerful!" replied the leader.

Then the four flamethrowers aimed their fire at an area. Although the yellow bubbles could cool down the area, it was limited. When the four flamethrowers had dried up their fuel tanks, the yellow bubbles finally exploded, and the tentacles that were thriving in the flames were instantly burned into a ball of ashes.

The dwarves were not happy. You know, there were countless yellow bubbles like this. If they burned every one of them, their fuel would not be enough even if they had a full supply of fuel.

Chapter 389: No Weakness

"Write this message down. Flamethrowers are not very effective against rockpox infection. Charlie's team should try the ice-shattering cannon! The rest of you continue to provide cover!" the leader shouted.

Although Fang Qingyun failed to foresee that the rockpox infection would not fall underground (after all, he had preconceived that the main stage of this world was underground, and all activities above it would take place underground. As a result, things were not as natural as he thought), Fang Qingyun's method of concentrating the worms and evenly distributing them underground greatly reduced the targets that the rockpox could infect on the surface. This choice also made the dwarves feel almost no pressure now.

If the rockpox were to infect the gnats, the dwarves would definitely not be as happy and relaxed as they are now. They would face attacks from gnats with even stronger shells, and there would even be species that would bite and launch rockpox at the same time in an attempt to infect the dwarves. By then, the dwarves would not only have to face more crazy and resilient infected gnats, but also the flying rockpox with infectious capabilities... and if these rockpox infected a place like a "mosquito nest" such as a thunder gnat nest, then it would be the dwarves' turn to be scared.

No one wants to become infected after being bitten by a mosquito one day. This threat to personal safety is no less deterrent than the ability to turn the target into a cancer patient with just one bite... Well, due to the existence of stereotypes, Fang Qingyun's first reaction to biting insects is mosquitoes.

After hearing the order from the leader of the dwarf guards, Charlie's team tightened the valves of the flamethrowers in their hands without hesitation. To ensure that they would not be turned into firemen due to fuel leakage, they replaced them with another "cannon barrel" that looked particularly thick. This thing looked like an enlarged light bulb base that had been twisted off. The chilling cold air leaked out from the plane where the light bulb was installed.

Although the Dwarf Guard has several teams, they always have only one captain, who is also the dwarf leader. Although this makes it easy for them to react too slowly when faced with emergencies, the original positioning of this team is to deal with troublemakers and some special emergencies. Therefore, compared to their combat effectiveness, their loyalty is more important.

Loyalty based on belief is difficult to change, which is why Buster believed in the leader - after all, the leader of the Dwarf Guard used to be a fanatical fan of Carl, so he also respected Buster, who had fought side by side with Carl. Therefore, as long as Buster let out some interesting stories from his time with Carl, the leader would become Buster's little fan.

Even if those funny things that happened when they were together were made up, and in order to make Carl's noble image more popular, Buster even made up some funny things, such as Carl snoring when he slept at night (in fact, he didn't). This was not to discredit Carl, but to make Carl less dazzling and too perfect, which was hard for the dwarves to imagine.
