Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.20 Five days after the invasion · "Tomorrow at this point, let's go! Take Rin back!"

No one knew what was happening right in front of them.

They were already completely desperate. They tried everything they could, but they couldn't survive together. They even planned to go back to their original plan and give up some people to delay the time, so that Duan Yi could evacuate with a large force.

But at such a desperate moment, suddenly everything seemed to turn around again.

The black swarm of insects above the head is motionless, and only the buzzing of wings flutters non-stop, which makes people feel a sense of reality-time is actually still passing bit by bit, without being stagnant.

They only need to look up to see how close the swarm's elytra wings and slender feet are to them.It was as if, it was the next second before they were attacked.

At such a critical moment, the swarms stopped.

A huge number of insects were suspended in the air, compared with the hundreds of people on the ground, it was like a fishing boat parked in the vast sea, insignificant and powerless.

It is precisely because of this that no one dared to attack for a while, and did not dare to break the deadlock at this moment.

After a very quiet few seconds of being motionless like this, commotion gradually emerged in the insect swarm.

The swarm of insects, which were originally in the same order, appeared to some degree of disorder, as if they had received different orders.

They were in place, colliding with each other like headless chickens.

Long Changlin looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, and asked Duan Yi in a low voice: "Boy Duan, what's going on?"

"They seem to be... killing each other?" Xu Ying stood beside him and said uncertainly, as corpses of bugs fell from the sky one after another.

The scene was extremely weird, and at the same time, there was a sense of instant vision of a miracle that "was finally saved".

"The doctor said before that there is a leader Alpha bug in these bug swarms, and now there is a disordered situation. Is it because something happened to Alpha?" Lin Qian asked.

"Maybe." Long Changlin thought it made sense.

He looked into the air, still not daring to relax his vigilance. Although these insect swarms didn't look like they were going to attack them for a while, the chaos of the insect swarm also made them frightened, for fear that this chaos would be unified and finally turn to attack them.

Long Changlin threw away the spray gun that was out of fuel in his hand, took out a saber and held it in his hand, and said, "It would be great if we knew which one was an Alpha bug, maybe after killing that one, the whole bug swarm will disperse." .”

"That won't work."

After Long Changlin finished speaking, Cheng Sheng's voice suddenly came from behind.

The iron door of the collection card suddenly opened to both sides, and Cheng Sheng was sitting in a wheelchair, sliding out silently.

His forehead was wet with sweat, and his face was pale. Compared with those soldiers outside, he was not much better.

Lin Qian and Xu Ying were startled when they saw Cheng Sheng come out: "Doctor! Why did you come out! Go back!"

Cheng Sheng just looked up at the insect swarm in the mid-air, and continued what he said before: "If the Alpha insect dies suddenly, the entire insect swarm will riot and attack indiscriminately."

Long Changlin took a breath.

"Also, Alpha worms usually hide in the deepest part of the swarm and are protected. It's not easy to find it," Cheng Sheng said.

"Well, there is still no solution..." Long Changlin frowned, and glanced at Cheng Sheng, "Dr. Cheng, you go in first, you will only distract us from protecting you if you are outside."

Cheng Sheng didn't move, and didn't even give Long Changlin a look. He focused on the swarm of insects, as if there were only those worms left in the world.

"The swarm needs an Alpha who can control them." Cheng Sheng said softly, "Only one."

In his palm, a blue flame bloomed very finely, a small cluster, fleeting, almost no one noticed.

Except Duan Yi.

Duan Yi sensed a danger almost at the moment before the flame bloomed.

This sense of danger is completely different from the past, both strange and creepy.

Almost instinctively, Duan Yi's skin was instantly covered with a layer of hard and fine snow-white armor, which seemed to come from the deep genetic inheritance of ancient creatures, warning him to do something.

He looked at Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng's pupils reflected a cluster of blue flames, eerie and beautiful.

He curled his fingers, and his white knuckles tapped twice on the armrest lightly. In the current environment, it was crisp and out of place.

The commotion of the swarm almost stopped suddenly.

Everyone saw that in the swarm of insects, there was a body of a flying insect that burst out of blue flames, and it fell straight from mid-air, just like that, to the ground in front of Long Changlin and Duan Yi. .

The weird, blue flame didn't go out until the bug's body was burned up.

Immediately afterwards, the next second, as if the swarm had received a signal, they swarmed and flew towards the vent above their heads.

Almost in just a few breaths, all the swarms of insects that had covered the sky and the ground disappeared completely, not a single one remained.

"They... are gone?" After a few seconds, someone finally spoke up and asked in disbelief.

The man's words, like falling into boiling water, broke the deadlock, and everyone cheered.

"Let's go! All gone! All flew back!"

"What happened just now? Why did the bug suddenly fall down and burn to death?"

"That fire! Did you see it? That color is so weird, where did it come from?"

"Who knew! I knew we survived again! Haha!"

Everyone threw the things in their hands to the side, and some directly grabbed the surviving companions nearby, hugged them fiercely, and buried them in the other party's camouflage uniforms, crying and laughing, refusing to look up.

Long Changlin also sat down directly on the ground without any effort, the feeling of escaping death was really exciting.

He looked at Duan Yi, and then at Cheng Sheng. He didn't notice Duan Yi's reaction at the moment of sudden change.Those swarms stopped attacking, that strange blue flame, that falling worm...all of these were connected with Cheng Sheng's appearance.

"I can't believe we survived..." someone in the team was still muttering.

"Did you see that fire! It's so beautiful!"

"Who saved us?"

Xu Ying murmured softly: "The blue flame is the color of life."

Lin Qian slammed Xu Ying's shoulder hard, and said, "The bug that fell must be an Alpha bug, right? Those bugs just ran away!"

"But didn't the doctor say that once the Alpha worms die, the swarm will riot?" Someone interjected and asked.

"Unless there is another Alpha in the swarm that can control them." Duan Yi said lightly, he handed Long Changlin a bottle of mineral water, and directly blocked Long Changlin's mouth that was about to speak.

Long Changlin: "..."

Long Dui looked at Cheng Sheng, then at Duan Yi, twitched the corners of his mouth, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured water into his mouth.

"That newly emerged Alpha just ran away with the swarm? But yes, the flame appeared out of nowhere and killed their leader precisely. If it were me, I also quickly ran away with my tail between my legs. .” Someone grinned.

"In the final analysis, the fire appeared at the right time!"

"Where did it come from?"

"Doctor, do you know?"

"The doctor just came out of the collection card, and he doesn't know what's going on outside. How could he know?"

"Too……"

"It's a miracle... It must be that God is not willing to let our entire army be wiped out here."

Lin Qian said thoughtfully: "The doctor told us before that life will find a way out. Desperate situations will definitely appear..."

"Then this time is the way out, that fire is a miracle, it's God's will."

"When I go back, I must tell everyone about it! It's even more mythical than a myth, and no one will believe it."

"My prayer must have been heard!"

"Although I want to say that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself...but only God can give a miracle at this time."

Long Changlin is funny, looking at his soldiers, they are usually more materialistic than anyone else, they don't believe in gods and ghosts, but just a few minutes ago, they were all overthrown.

Only when you have experienced complete despair, will you attribute the unexplainable to the power of miracles when the hope of life comes so suddenly, and unswervingly absorb positive hope from miracles.

Cheng Sheng didn't speak, his eyes were half closed, the voice in his head gradually weakened, but he could still feel the connection between himself and these swarms.

Just like just now, he tried to stop the swarms from attacking, and the swarms did stop for a moment.Then the Alpha in the swarm sensed him, and the instructions of the Alpha worm contradicted his commands, causing the swarm to be chaotic, until the Alpha worm was ignited, and he completely controlled the swarm.

Cheng Sheng really wanted to test whether he could control the swarm, but he estimated that these soldiers couldn't stand the stimulation of seeing the swarm again, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

On the other hand, his energy is not enough for him to do any more research.If it accidentally gets out of control and can't control the swarms, it will be a man-made disaster.

Duan Yi looked down at Cheng Sheng, who was holding half of his face with one hand, as if taking a nap.

He bent down and carried the doctor back to Chikkari together with the wheelchair.

Long Changlin followed, and wanted to help, but he didn't expect Duan Xiaozi to be quite strong, so he directly brought the doctor in together with the wheelchair.

"Doctor tired?" Long Changlin asked in a low voice, walking into Jikali while asking.

He stopped suddenly and opened his eyes slightly.

I saw that in the truck compartment, the iron sheets around it seemed to have been burned by high temperature, and there was some deformation, and there was a pool of scorched black marks on the ground. .

Long Changlin froze in place.

"Uncle." Luo Xiaonan's soft and crisp voice sounded behind Long Changlin.

Long Changlin came back to his senses, turned his head to look over, and saw the little boy pulling his clothes, looking up at himself, "Don't come in and disturb the doctor's rest, the doctor is very tired."

Long Changlin paused, he looked around, and asked softly: "This place...was on fire?"

Luo Xiaonan nodded and gestured: "It's a very beautiful blue flame."

As he said, he rolled up his sleeves again, stretched out a white and tender arm, and touched the cold hair on his head that was curled up by the fire: "Look, Uncle, this place will become like this."

Long Changlin: "..."

He looked at Cheng Sheng who was pushed into the depths of the collection card and took a nap with his eyes closed, thoughtfully.

Luo Xiaonan pulled the corner of Lalong Changlin's clothes again, and said seriously: "Uncle has worked very hard, go and rest quickly."

Long Changlin wanted to say something else, but he lowered his head to meet Luo Xiaonan's dark eyes, and felt sleepy for some reason.

He forgot what he was going to say for a moment, nodded slowly, responded, then sat down against the iron sheet of the container, unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After Duan Yi settled Cheng Sheng, he saw Long Changlin falling asleep leaning on the iron sheet, he silently glanced at Luo Xiaonan, the little guy shivered, and felt a sense of awe towards Duan Yi for no reason.

"Go to sleep next to the doctor." Duan Yi just said this.

Luo Xiaonan nodded obediently, stepped on his short legs, and ran to Cheng Sheng's side, next to Duan Yi made a small bed made of down jackets.

He blinked, took off his little shoes, stepped on the down jacket, slowly curled up, and hid himself in the large down jacket.

Sleeping next to the doctor feels very safe.

Although the blue flame frightened him, the doctor who walked out of the flame made him feel at ease.

It's like, with the doctor there, they are safe.Thinking of this, Luo Xiaonan was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep.

Duan Yi got off the truck, and someone ran to him: "Team Duan, there is a situation in the monitoring room."

Duan Yi frowned slightly, followed the other party to the monitoring room.

There was no one in the monitoring room, only a body stuck between the cracks of the door, almost no part of the body was intact.

Everyone knew that this was Anna, and only Anna stayed here.

The pretty face was hardly recognizable as before, and the wounds all over his body were covered with egg sheaths, making his scalp numb.

The team member wanted to put Anna down from the gap in the door, but he didn't expect that the chest of the body suddenly rose and fell, and the sound of a blower came out from his throat, hissing, It leaked from the cut throat again.

Anna's eyes opened suddenly, bursting out with a desire to survive, she raised her hand with great effort, and stretched out to the team member: "He...he..."

The little soldier was startled, stepped back abruptly, and bumped into Duan Yi.

He glanced at Duan Que with a shy face, and then at Anna, his eyes were full of pity.

It has become like this, how can I survive?It would be better to die happily.

Anna struggled to move her gaze to her arm, and soon saw that her arm was covered with sections of white and brown egg sheaths, densely packed.

She suddenly widened her eyes, screamed and threw her arms away, and at the same time, a ball of white egg sheath stained with blood was sprayed from her throat.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Duan Yi grabbed the player next to him who hadn't reacted yet.

The white egg case hit the ground, blood splashed away, Duan Yi and the man hid in time so as not to touch it.

Anna's eyes were red, and she looked at them unwillingly.

After the egg sheath spewed out, she kept coughing up crimson blood from her mouth, and under Duan Yi's gaze, she swallowed a little bit.

The team members on the side swallowed, looked at Anna's body covered with egg cases, suppressed his nausea and asked, "Queue Duan, how should we deal with this?"

"It's burning. Don't move her, just stick to these chairs." Duan Yi said.

The man nodded, and immediately called his two companions, grabbed a few balls of flammable cotton wool, carefully lit the fire, and set the corpse on fire.

The fire in the monitoring room quickly attracted the attention of others, but Anna's death did not cause much repercussions. Instead, the companions who came back described that the corpse was still covered with those eggs, and they couldn't help but shuddered. Fortunately, it was discovered early and burned up.

Long Changlin didn't sleep for long, and woke up around the time he set fire to the surveillance room.

He rubbed the back of his head, got out of the card box inexplicably, and fell asleep without knowing why.

Hearing that Duan Yi had finished disposing of Anna's body, Long Changlin nodded, "Oh", and suddenly stopped talking.

"Long team?" The team members looked at him suspiciously.

Long Changlin waved his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Let's go and send off the teammates of the first team."

The team members on the side reacted, and no one spoke for a while.

Everyone gathered quietly in the open space at the end of the parking lot.

The members of the first wave of sacrificed teams were all lying on the ground, neatly arranged in two rows, twelve of them, their clothes and hair were neatly arranged as much as possible, and their helmets were placed beside them.

The cold fluorescent lights in the parking lot were turned on, making it look indifferent and solemn.

Long Changlin stepped forward silently.

He knelt down on one knee, stretched out his calloused hand, trembled for a while and then stabilized quickly.

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, took off the silver necklaces from his teammates one by one, held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and put them one by one into the inner pocket of his chest.

The pendant of the necklace is a unified silver plate with a unique number engraved on it.

When the fire broke out, the entire parking lot was filled with warm light, and the survivors stood around the fire, mourning silently for all the teammates who died.

After the fire burned out, Long Changlin let out a long breath, broke all the silence, and looked at the others: "Everyone stay where they are and rest for a day."

He said: "At this point tomorrow, let's go! Bring Rin back!"

"Yes! Long team!" Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, standing up straight.

Outside the closed parking lot, the sun was just rising, and the infected who had gradually surrounded the iron gate following the smell gradually dispersed and hid in the shadow of the building.

Looking outside, the street is quiet, with few people, and there is a sense of dilapidated life.

Someone in the residential building opened the window and looked out carefully, looking at the situation outside, then quietly retracted his head.
