Chapter 716 Bugs
To be honest, the marines who came this time had experienced many situations in the simulated reality, but it was the first time they had seen the scene in front of them, and it was still so shocking.

Before they set off, there was an additional task in their task list to confirm the situation of the previous team, and then the command center gave them a positioning coordinate, which was the place where the previous team's signal disappeared.

This also includes the general range of activities after the signal is lost. After all, it cannot be considered that the loss of the signal is death, and it may be possible to find a way out in other places, etc. This is all possible.

After the marines who started the arc light exploration team entered the blood fog area, they found that the situation inside was the same as the short video clip they saw before. Although there was a red field in front of them, due to the sufficient light in broad daylight, everything was not empty. It can't be seen, and some light can shine in through the blood mist.

The visibility inside the blood fog area is basically the same as that of some dense fog weather, or even a little better than that, but the field of vision is red.

However, as they marched, they found that the corpses here were in a very unusual condition. In just a few days, the corpses here were already "empty", whether they were trapped by vehicles or died of coughing blood on the side of the road before. Yes, all that remains of their bodies are their skeletons and the riddled clothes they wore.

And it has been like this since entering the blood mist area. Although there were corpses that had not been cleaned up on the way before, those corpses were at most stinky, and because of the cold weather, they hadn't become completely horrible. You can see the original appearance, but as soon as you enter the blood mist area, as long as it is a corpse, there is only a skeleton and no flesh at all.

It must have been eaten by some creature.

However, they did not find any signs of life. It can be said that there was a dead silence in the sight. They even saw the skeletons of mice, dogs, cats and other mammals. This virus is not specific to humans, and even other mammals are infected.

Occasionally some bird carcasses are found, but rarely.

I just don't know whether these animals and birds died because they were infected with the virus in the air. If they were also infected with the virus, then it would be a big trouble, because in this way, the source of infection would be difficult to control.

However, judging from the current epidemic monitoring situation in various countries, it seems that no actual "bloodbath" virus infection has been found, so its transmission channel should not be so large, and the cause of death of these animals should be due to other reasons.

Immediately afterwards, the team members found that there were many scattered red dots next to each corpse. After zooming in, they were all small red bugs with six legs, but they all looked dead.

It can't be that he died from the virus too, right?

With doubts, the team members did not stay, but just recorded the information. Later, professional personnel will analyze and study them, so the team members don't have to worry about it.

After the five-member team arrived at the positioning coordinates, they did not find the figures of those people, but they did see some traces that should be left by them, some discarded items, and some bullet casings, etc.

After they searched according to these traces, after walking only a dozen meters, they found one of the targets they were looking for this time, the corpses of the team members who came to explore last time...

The bodies of these team members fell to the ground in various postures, in all shapes, but they didn't seem to have a peaceful movement, and the protective clothing was in tatters, with holes everywhere.

Some corpses were lying on the ground, and they could feel that they wanted to crawl away from this place, but they couldn't get away no matter how hard they crawled, and it could be felt that they were struggling hard before they were alive.

Basically, every corpse had experienced violent struggle before death, and looking closer, the holes in their protective clothing were still emitting faintly red smoke.

But it was precisely because they looked closer that they saw the creepy scene.

In those holes, dense red particles can be seen moving. Through the image magnification function on the power armor, it is found that those are all densely packed small bugs, only the dead small bugs I saw before, they are constantly gnawing Eat the bodies of those who have died.

The smoke that comes out is partly because the mouth of the bug seems to be corrosive. When eating, it will corrode part of the corpse, and then part of the smoke will come out, while the other part of the smoke is excreted from the bug's body What came out should be something that has been digested, or other things after synthesis, anyway, it looks very...disgusting.

Under such circumstances, the arc light group's five-member team didn't know what to do. After all, they were full-time fighters, and it would be okay to play porters as a cameo. If they could tell the necessity of collecting samples, they would be helpless.

Of course, it is still possible to let them fight back the whole body.

But forget it now, now it seems that every corpse is a source of infection, it is better to let "them" stay in the blood mist area honestly.

"Command center, we have reached one of the mission locations and found the victims," ​​the team member of Power Armor No. [-] asked the command center, "Is the image clear? Please answer if you heard it. Are we going to proceed to the next mission?"

He had just finished reporting the mission, and there was a slight silence in the channel, and then Captain Wayne's voice sounded.

"Arclight Exploration Team, the command center has clear images and clear signals. Although there is a slight flicker, it does not affect viewing."

"Now you start a new mission and start sampling the target. Director Chimila will inform you of the specific sampling steps and sampling targets, and he will talk to you later."

"Understood, waiting for further orders." The team members of No. [-] aircraft had no objection.

As the captain of this temporary team, his decision is naturally the decision of the temporary team, and they also know that in such a situation, the people in the command center must discuss it.

Anyway, they are very safe in the power armor, and they are on alert at any time. As long as there is any situation, they can immediately find out and solve it.

After a while, Chimera's voice came from the communication channel, "Arclight Exploration Team, now I'm going to issue a further task. You have several different sample collection and storage devices in your hands. Now you start to use the same one. Collection, we will watch the video and guide you step by step, do you understand the mission?"

"Understood." The staff of the arc light team said.

"That's good, let's start collecting the first item now, collect some of the living bugs first, and pay attention to ensuring their..."
