"Bang!" The powerful air wave pushed Meng Xiang back suddenly, and the micro-nuclear bomb left a clear trajectory in the cave space with a "whoosh" sound. The golden beetle was looking up at the insects and was gloating, but suddenly a nuclear bomb was fired from the cave entrance. It had no time to react and was hit by the micro-nuclear bomb.
Micro-nuclear bombs are the most powerful weapons in "Starship Troopers". The explosion and burning are enough to shock a large area, and the threat to living things is devastating. If the infantry carries a large number of nuclear warheads, the Zerg will be vulnerable. However, there are obvious bugs in the weapons in "Starship Troopers". For example, warships that can fly at superluminal speeds have been mass-produced like airplanes, but infantry can only use M4 lightweight submachine guns to fight against stink bugs. So perhaps it is necessary for the plot, the nuclear bomb team generally only carries two or three nuclear warheads.
However, Meng Xiang had seen with his own eyes the hard shell of the golden beetle, which could withstand Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, and could withstand impact or plasma cannons, so even if it was a nuclear bomb, he had no confidence in giving the golden beetle a fatal blow. It was just that the number of bedbugs outside the cave was shocking, and even if he couldn't kill the golden beetle, at least he could kill the bedbugs to vent his anger.
As the nuclear bomb exploded, the entire ground shook violently, and flames shot up into the sky outside. The bedbugs barely had time to scream before they were shattered by the shock wave. The wormhole shook, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time. The scorching air waves rushed in, making it unbearable. Meng Xiang hurriedly pushed Yuan Zhi down and pulled her to the big rock beside the cave, barely shielding her from the heat wave.
"Kill a golden beetle and get 5,000 points." As the heat wave rolled over his back, Meng Xiang heard the Lord's reminder in his mind. Even though he was lying on the ground, he couldn't help but dance and laugh like crazy: "Haha, I've made a killing this time."
After a long time, the aftermath of the nuclear bomb gradually subsided. Meng Xiang helped Yuan Zhi up and looked out of the cave in fear. He saw a pile of charred stink bug corpses and body parts outside the cave. The entire mountaintop was flattened by the explosion. The ground was full of black sand, just like the earth that had been scorched.
"Swoosh!" A huge insect limb stretched out from outside the hole, scaring Meng Xiang so much that he retreated repeatedly while holding Yuan Zhi. The insect limb grabbed around randomly, and the long jaws of a large stink bug stretched out, but the stink bug's body, which was more than 3 meters tall, almost filled the wormhole. He could only move forward and backward with difficulty, but could not turn around.
Looking at the bedbugs in such a predicament, Meng Xiang said with a sneer: "Low-level creatures are low-level creatures, so stupid." He picked up the Desert Eagle from the ground and fired several shots, making many holes in the bedbugs. At this time, many bedbugs crawled out, but the holes were blocked by the insect corpses. They crawled around outside, but they didn't know how to get into the holes.
Meng Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said to Yuan Zhi, "It seems we are safe. Those stink bugs are fools and don't know how to pull the insect corpses apart. This is good. We can breathe fresh air and we don't have to worry about stink bugs coming in. I don't have to seal the hole anymore."
Yuan Zhi turned her head and looked into the cave, smiled helplessly, and said with a bit of self-mockery: "I never thought that a senior like me would have to watch a newcomer like you fight desperately. However, our luck has ended here."
Meng Xiang turned around and asked: "What do you mean, that's it? Aren't we safe? That..." He was speechless because he had forgotten something very important.
The wormhole was still filled with unformed golden beetles that were ready to move. These larvae were only about half a meter long and were far less imposing than the golden beetles, but their mouths moved and their pairs of round black eyes stared at Meng Xiang and the others, as if they were looking at delicious food and were about to chop it up.
Meng Xiang held Moye in his hand, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the ground like rain. It seemed that it was no longer possible to smash the ceiling of the cave, because the larvae had already crawled over and were only about 10 meters away from them.
"Damn it, don't think I'm so timid, let's fight." Meng Xiang shouted loudly, carrying Moye and rushing over. If he retreated out of the cave, he would die, and if he didn't retreat, he would also die. Meng Xiang had been holding back a lot of anger since he entered the reincarnation world, and now it finally exploded.
Even if I die, I will bury a few beetles with me.
Facing the shiny black beetles that almost filled the wormhole, Meng Xiang didn't know where he got the courage from. In this short distance of more than 10 meters, he felt that time seemed to slow down. Every time he took a step, he felt an invisible resistance in the air, like a level 9 typhoon stopping him from moving forward. Meng Xiang was in control of the countless larvae in front of him, including the swaying of their antennae and the twitching of their mouths.
He felt as if his head, which had been closed for a long time, was suddenly opened by a key inserted into it, just like the awakening of the mind in the fairy tale novels. His mind became extremely focused, every muscle in his body was under control, and the coordination of his limbs and organs was suddenly raised to the limit of the human body.
Meng Xiang's pupils suddenly disappeared and his eyes became blank and lifeless.
"Swish!" The larva at the front was chopped away by Meng Xiang just right, and the beetles on both sides flapped their wings and were about to surround it.
"Take a step back and sweep the knife forward." This command came into Meng Xiang's mind almost automatically. Like an instinct, his body suddenly stepped back, just avoiding the siege of two larvae. His right hand Moye swept across, and with a few "swish" sounds, the knife was already covered with the green body fluids of 3 or 4 beetles.
Meng Xiang had never experienced such a wonderful feeling of complete control over his body. Every inch of skin and every muscle was in full view. Even his hair seemed to have feelings. Even if a piece of dust stuck to it, he could tell which hair it was stuck to.
"Haha, your fathers all died in my hands. Don't blame me for bullying the weak. It's your fault for growing up so slowly." Meng Xiang was almost incoherent. His blank eyes revealed a hint of excitement and enthusiasm. The sharp Moye in his hand cut through the beetle's body like cutting tofu.
The narrow cave entrance was an advantage for Meng Xiang. Otherwise, surrounded by so many beetles, he would be torn to pieces in an instant no matter how powerful he was. However, there were too many beetles in front of him. They stepped on the insect corpses chopped by Mo Xie. Meng Xiang only had one hand and a knife, so how could he resist the rush of beetles? Although he was enjoying the killing, he was forced to Yuan Zhi's side without realizing it. Behind him were the stink bug corpses blocking the cave entrance. Through the gaps between the corpses, you can see that the stink bugs outside the cave don't seem to be in a hurry, and they are quietly staring at the wormhole outside the cave.
Since entering the reincarnation world, Meng Xiang has brushed shoulders with death several times, but the feeling of death has never been so clear. His senses are very sharp at this time. In the continuous slashing, every time the beetle crawls forward, he feels closer to death. The feeling of despair makes him almost crazy.
He had no time to turn around and look at Yuan Zhi behind him, but he could guess that she was like a useless person at this moment, having closed her eyes and waiting for death to come.
Meng Xiang roared and suddenly, the ground cracked and shook violently, and the cave ceiling rustled. The cave seemed to be about to collapse at any time. As the shaking intensified, the sand and mud on the cave ceiling slumped down in pieces, and the beetles suddenly became a mess, rushing around like blind flies. Meng Xiang reacted quickly, threw away Moye, and pulled Yuan Zhi behind him and rushed out of the cave.
"Boom boom boom..." The cave finally collapsed. Large pieces of soil and rocks fell like river water. Meng Xiang pulled Yuan Zhi and ran a few steps. He felt a pain in his back and lost his balance. He fell to the ground with Yuan Zhi with a "crack".
The wormhole was already filled with sand and gravel, and they were about to be buried alive. At this time, they were only about 3 meters away from the hole entrance, separated by the worm corpses. This distance connected life and death, only 3 meters, but it felt as far as 3 kilometers.
Meng Xiang and Yuan Zhi were lying on the ground, their bodies covered with mud and rocks, making it difficult for them to breathe. Through the gaps in the insect corpses blocking the cave entrance, they could see groups of dragons formed from mist rising into the sky in the distance outside the cave.
"It's Ding Jie, he finally used the 'Lushan Hundred Dragons'..." Meng Xiang heard Yuan Zhi muttering this before he lost consciousness.
