Chapter 55: earthworm

Views:

"Third-level mutated meat, eighty pounds of food stamps for one pound. If you want to use it yourself, you can keep five pounds!" A slightly fat supervisor wearing a military uniform said with a smile. Let the two soldiers weigh themselves.

Don't think that the army doesn't have business talents. Before the mutation, the army had to rely on themselves to solve a large part of its military expenditures. As long as it is a profitable business, they do it, and they are more bold than ordinary people. A lot of smuggling is related to the army. In some armies, if you want to be a soldier, you need to spend money. One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is everywhere.

Luo Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect the price of the meat of blue-level mutant beasts to be so high, but he soon felt relieved. Things are rare and expensive, and their own value is much higher than that of light blue-level creatures. I am afraid that after the military changed hands like this, Luo Yuan was a little surprised. In the end, I'm afraid it will double several times.

It's a really lucrative business.

Luo Yuan had no choice. Excluding the five kilograms of meat for his own use, he received a total of eighteen thousand five hundred kilograms of food stamps. For the first time, he felt that making money was so easy.

Next time for routine inspection. Under the intense gaze of Luo Yuan, the soldier turned pale and sweated profusely. He only made a cursory check and ran away in confusion. In fact, Luo Yuan's hiding method was not clever. He simply stuffed it under the seat. After all, a car is only so big, and there are basically only a few places where things can be hidden. Plus, the things are not small. , as long as you are a little professional, you can easily find it. Unexpectedly, the other party pretended not to see it.

Before coming to the base again, he had already thought of countermeasures, including stuffing money. The previous threat was just a clever move when the opponent provoked him. Unexpectedly, the effect was so good that many preparation methods could not be used.

"Oh, if I had known this, I would have kept it more privately!" Luo Yuan sighed. Previously, because he was worried that there were too many things and it would be difficult to fool them during the inspection, he kept the internal organs and internal organs of the snake dragon privately. There are only black owl feathers left, which makes me feel a little regretful when I think about it now.

But there will be more opportunities in the future.

Luo Yuan also stuffed five kilograms of violent dragon lizard meat into a sack, started the van, and left the base.

When the car drove to the gate of the community, Luo Yuan felt something was not right. There seemed to be a faint stench coming from the community. He continued to drive for a while and saw a dense group of people gathered in front of him, seemingly watching. What excitement

A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Yuan's heart, and he stopped the car nearby. He carried the sack and got out of the car. He glanced around and found that Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were also inside. He squeezed over and pulled her arm: "What's going on here?" "

When Huang Jiahui heard the familiar voice, she quickly turned her head and said with a slightly excited face: "Ah, you are back?"

"What are you doing around here? What happened?" Luo Yuan continued to ask.

"There is a big earthworm here. It drilled many holes and one person fell in!" Wang Shishi rushed to say before Luo Yuan could ask again.

"Has that person been rescued?"

"I don't know. I heard that after just a scream, there was no life left. Those holes are very deep. Some people were brave enough to shine a flashlight, but they couldn't reach the bottom." Huang Jiahui said with an ugly face. Having experienced the despair of seeing no hope in the insect wave, she cherishes the stability and peace now more than anyone else.

"You two, don't get so close. It might be dangerous. I'll go inside and take a look first!" He felt tight in his heart and said hurriedly.

"Then be careful." Huang Jiahui knew Luo Yuan's ability and did not stop him.

He nodded, ignored the complaints around him, and squeezed in with all his strength. As soon as he looked at it, his expression changed slightly. He saw seven or eight half-meter-wide figures appearing out of thin air in the open space in front of him. A large hole with a very smooth wall and a layer of clear and greasy mucus on the surface, and the stench floating in the community is emanating from here.

"That person was walking in front of me and disappeared all of a sudden. I thought my eyes were deceived, but when I blinked, I found a hole in the ground." A young man next to me told the person next to me with foaming at the mouth. He said, his face turned red when he said the excitement: "It's the one in front, the rest of the holes appeared later. When the last hole was drilled, it showed its head, which scared me so much that I almost sat down on the ground. I feel like it’s a mutated earthworm, but it can grow so big and I don’t know what it eats?”

He spoke vividly and attracted a large crowd to listen to his description.

At this time, two military jeeps suddenly drove up outside, and eight armed police teams wearing protective clothing quickly got out of the vehicle. Walking quickly this way, Luo Yuan noticed that two people were holding military flamethrowers.

The captain of this armed police unit took out his loudspeaker and shouted with a serious face: "It is very dangerous here. Everyone should move away a hundred meters immediately!"

The crowd stirred for a while and then dispersed quickly. Some alert people began to run outside the community, but more people stayed and watched the excitement from a distance. Luo Yuan pulled Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi into the car and waited until the car drove more than 200 meters before stopping.

At this time, the armed police had already set up the isolation zone, and the snipers and heavy machine gunners quickly ran towards the nearby floors to set up fire points. The armed police had obviously been accustomed to doing this kind of work for a long time, and everything was orderly and orderly.

After everyone was in place, the remaining two armed policemen took out grenades and walked cautiously towards the entrance of the cave.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and the surroundings became silent. Some people could not bear the oppression and began to retreat slowly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The grenade was thrown into the hole, making a dull sound. When the third hole collapsed, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a small hill bulged out of the ground. The next moment, a huge thing suddenly penetrated half of the body. .

A purple snake-shaped body that is seven or eight meters long is swinging in mid-air. This sight is frightening even if it is seen from a distance. The crowd screamed, and many people were so frightened that they froze in place, motionless.

If you didn't look at the shape of this creature, you would know it was an earthworm at first glance, but it was magnified a thousand times. The sticky liquid kept sliding down from its smooth purple skin. Once it hit the ground, the soil quickly melted into a piece of mud, which looked extremely disgusting.

After all, the psychological quality of the surrounding armed police was not comparable to that of civilians. After only a moment of hesitation, the anti-material sniper rifle placed on a nearby building made a dull sound and opened fire immediately.

A big hole immediately opened in the earthworm's body, and it was almost broken into two pieces.

Random heavy machine guns and flamethrowers also began to join the battle. Bullets raked over the earthworms, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

But the most eye-catching thing is the high-pressure flamethrower. I saw two slender high-pressure flames impacting on its body like water columns. Within a few seconds, its body began to burn. This earthworm was obviously just showing off, and was beaten before even struggling. Desperate to live and die.

After only two minutes, the exposed part of the earthworm hung down weakly and stopped moving.

The captain of the armed police team made a gesture, and several armed policemen put down their weapons and ran towards the two jeeps. Two of them sat in the cab respectively, and the other two took out a bundle of ropes from the trunk, hooked one end to the horizontal bars of the two cars, and tied the other end tightly to the earthworm's body.

Apparently trying to pull it out of the hole.

The car started quickly, and the huge pulling force of the two cars slowly dragged the earthworm out of the hole. It only lasted two meters before it disappeared, revealing a bloody wound.

This body is about ten meters long, but for this earthworm, which is almost half a meter thick, this length is not even one-third of its body. An armed policeman ran over and took a look into the cave. His expression changed drastically.

The armed police threw a few more grenades into the cave, but then there was no response. After continuing to work for an hour, they could no longer stimulate the mutant earthworms to emerge. The eight armed policemen ended their work hastily. When leaving, they reminded the residents here to report any problems at any time and left quickly.

Several people returned home.

Huang Jiahui sighed and murmured: "There is a problem even here, and I don't know where else is a safe place."

Luo Yuan put down the sack, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, took out one, lit it and took a puff, exhaled a puff of white smoke, sighed and said: "The community is not safe now, you two should stay at home these days. , don’t go out casually, especially Master Wang, don’t go out to play.”

"Isn't that earthworm dead?" Master Wang asked with a puzzled look.

Luo Yuan shook his head: "Earthworms have extremely strong vitality. Even if they are cut into several pieces, they will not die and may even turn into several pieces. This is the case for ordinary earthworms, let alone mutant earthworms. Although I don't know what this thing can do. It won’t eat people, but it’s never wrong to be careful.”

"Oh!" Master Wang responded obediently.

Huang Jiahui didn't know what she was thinking, and was a little dazed. Only then did she come back to her senses: "What about buying food at home? Everyone has to eat."

"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it!" Luo Yuan said.

"Then be careful." Huang Jiahui hesitated and said. She knew better than to talk to Luo Yuan, but once the matter was decided, no one could persuade her.

Luo Yuan thought for a while and continued: "If this mutated earthworm is not solved in a few days, we will move to another place. Anyway, we now have two cars, and it will be very convenient to move then."

Huang Jiahui was reminded by him and complained. "By the way, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Why did you buy another car? Don't you already have one at home? Although it's a little broken, it can be driven. Buying another car is really a waste. , do you still have enough money now?"

"I didn't buy this car." Luo Yuan explained.

"Is it stolen again? Will the owner find out and come to the door?" Huang Jiahui paused and lowered her voice.

In order not to cause them to worry, Luo Yuan had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, it's someone else's abandoned car. It would be a waste to leave it there, so I drove it here."

"Brother Luo, how did you know it was abandoned? What if it was originally placed there?" Wang Shishi glanced at his mouth and interjected.

"You are the only smart one!" Luo Yuan cursed.

Huang Jiahui originally wanted to persuade her, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. She had also stolen a car herself, although she had no choice but to do so.
