Chapter 1088 Insect Swarm
Where Zhang Yi couldn't see, there was an undercurrent surging beneath Tianhai City.
Winter has come, and Tianhai City has ushered in the coldest winter. There is always heavy snow outside the shelter, making it difficult to see the scenery.
Inside the shelter, it looked warm and peaceful.
The fireplace is burning brightly, and the flames are so warm. Huahua and Totoro have become familiar with each other. The two cute pets play and play in the room all day long, and they can play from upstairs to the depths of the basement.
Yang Siya and Aunt Zhou Haimei were in the open kitchen, studying how to bake new pastries to welcome the upcoming festival.
Fatty Xu was kept in the training ground in the basement by Uncle You. He had to undergo devilish training every day. In a few months, a layer of his skin would fall off.
Others are also busy. Although they are not leisurely, they are extremely relaxed.
The inside of the shelter and the outside world are already two completely different worlds.
Far away from the shelter, a thick piece of ice and snow suddenly pushed up an imperceptible gap.
Then a blue cockroach emerged from the gap.
Its body is the size of a palm, with a layer of blue frost crystals growing on it.
After crawling out from under the snowdrift, he cautiously looked at the huge shelter in the distance.
After a long time, it went back underground again.
Passing through thick layers of ice, snow and frozen soil, it came to the dark and damp sewer pipes.
And this pipe, which had been abandoned for a year, was densely covered with cockroaches of different sizes.
After the blue cockroach returned to the ground, it seemed to communicate with the cockroach group.
Soon after, in the long and huge underground network, a frightening army of cockroaches began to bypass the shelter that exuded a terrifying aura, like a river that had to separate when it encountered a boulder, and poured into other areas.
On this day, heavy snow closed the city, and everyone was trapped in the house and difficult to get out.
But the three major bases are not as laid-back as the people in the shelter.
They have already adapted to this kind of cold. Even in the heavy snow, everyone has to work.
Rest is a luxury for them.
Even though I can't say that I work according to 007's rules, there are only two rest days per month.
In blizzard weather, everyone must come out in time to clear the snow outside the base.
Otherwise, according to the usual practice, all it takes is a continuous snowstorm for one day and one night, and the entire underground shelter will be completely covered, which is very troublesome.
So everyone around Chaoyu Base wore thick clothes and started working against the heavy snow with snow plowing tools.
Lu Dahai and Chen Jingguan were also nearby to supervise the work.
Chen Jingguan put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.
He boasted of having received higher education and always presented himself as a Confucian general in the army.
Therefore, when conducting work, he often likes to let his subordinates convey his will to avoid affecting his image by yelling.
But Lu Dahai didn't care about that.
He kept Zhang Yi's words in mind and tried his best to maintain order in Chaoyu base, so he has been working hard to cooperate with Chen Jingguan's work.
The two have been working together for some time.
Chen Jingguan has always been wary of Lu Dahai. In his daily work, he would often beat him up and assign him some more difficult or offending tasks.
Lu Dahai worked hard and obeyed orders to complete the task.
Until now, the relationship between the two has at least appeared to have eased.
"Clean up the area near the entrance of the base first! Otherwise, the snow will accumulate more and more, and it will be troublesome when the entrance is blocked."
"In such a cold weather, it is impossible for the snow to melt even if it stops. By then it will freeze into a lump and it will take three to five days to clean up."
Lu Dahai shouted loudly and directed the workers in the base.
The workers were busy working, cursing the damn weather, the damn doomsday, and the damn leaders like Lu Dahai and Chen Jingguan.
However, they don't dare to be lazy when it comes to the work at hand.
If he is discovered, today's dinner may be deducted.
A worker raised the snow shovel in his hand, inserted it hard into the snowdrift, then stepped down with his feet, and then lifted it hard.
But after lifting up the snow shovel, he suddenly found a big black hole in the snow.
"Huh? Why is there an empty space here?"
The worker curiously went over to check.
The next moment, the most terrifying and final scene in his life came into view.
From the dark snow cave, a cockroach head as big as a human head suddenly appeared, and then it suddenly jumped on his face!
"what!!!"
The cockroach opened its mouthparts, and its sharp barbed forelimbs pierced directly into his face.
"Pfft!" With a sound, his face was completely torn off.
In such a cold environment, cockroaches eat a lot of carrion and garbage, and their bodies are highly poisonous.
The worker's vision immediately went dark and he fell to the ground.
The cockroach lay on his head, ignoring the other frightened workers around him, and began to gnaw on his head.
Immediately afterwards, the dark hole expanded rapidly, and cockroaches of all sizes poured out of the hole like a tide!
At this time, the frightened workers just woke up.
Such a terrifying scene left them all dead. They immediately dropped the tools in their hands, yelled like crazy, and ran in the opposite direction of the cockroach swarm.
The huge snow cave seemed to be an endless magic weapon. Cockroaches emerged from it continuously, and soon the entire snow-covered land was flooded.
"Buzz~"
"Buzz~"
Some huge cockroaches flapped their wings and flew into the air, then pounced on the workers.
This moment happened in a split second, and no one expected it.
Human beings may be naturally disgusted with cockroaches, and may even be somewhat afraid of these disgusting things that are extremely difficult to kill.
When Lu Dahai saw this scene, he immediately remembered the order Zhang Yi had given, but at that time, Chen Jingguan only responded perfunctorily.
There was no thorough inspection of the area around the base.
But who would have thought that so many mutant cockroaches would appear!
"Quick, fire blockade, fire blockade! Don't let them get close to the base!"
Lu Dahai shouted loudly.
There was a brown light in his eyes, and then his whole body underwent obvious changes. His skin turned into the color of water plants, and fine scales grew.
Two bone knives popped out of his arms with a "Clang!" sound.
He pulled out a pistol from his waist and shot several huge cockroaches. Under his leadership, the guards of other bases also reacted and immediately rushed over and began to attack the huge and terrifying swarm of cockroaches with gunfire.
