Manor Romance

Chapter 343
Lu Qiu's team who broke the road at the end also finally arrived. They were the most difficult team, because there were four huge sandworms chasing them, and most of the windshield of one of the cars was shattered. It turned out that they came here after a lot of hard work, and the four sandworms were not unharmed. One of them was beaten with more than half of its head, but it didn't seem to affect its actions very much.

There were fifteen off-road vehicles when they set off, and they basically moved forward in the form of three people, but after such a toss by the sandworm swarm, they directly lost three of them, and many of the remaining vehicles showed varying degrees of damage. Damage, like broken windshield, cracked chassis, too much sand into the engine, etc.

Of the three lost vehicles, two of them got stuck in the sand flow, and it is estimated that they have sunk completely and cannot be retrieved. One of them sank and disappeared with the vehicle, and all communication was cut off. Everyone in the team escaped except the driver, and was rescued by other teams.

The other one was hit by a huge sandworm, and it overturned directly. The oil tank was cracked and spontaneously ignited. Although everyone escaped, this is a special vehicle for the technical support team. In this car, it was a big blow to the crowd.

Without that equipment vehicle, their trip will be much more difficult. The safest way is to go back to rectify first, or ask Lu Suyan to deploy other spare vehicles or equipment, but it seems that Lu Kang and others have no intention of returning. Prepare to go back, discussing how to proceed next.

Although this is the Gobi area, the swarm of sand worms still came after them. They did not have the ability to move on land like giant sand worms, and they couldn't move on the bare ground for long. They all surrounded the outside and surrounded the entire Gobi area. It can be monitored by the infrared sensor, and their actions are very regular. Even though the huge sandworms have fallen down, they still do not scatter, and they seem to have identified everyone as the target.

Here they are safe for the time being, and the sandworm swarm will not be able to attack for a while. Lu Kang asked his subordinates to check and repair the vehicles, and their nine core members gathered together to discuss countermeasures. And to retreat, even Lu Qiu and the others who were most surrounded by sandworms.

"The loss is so heavy before entering the core area. It seems that luck this time is not very good, but if there is no warning from Brother Yunli in advance, we would not be able to react so quickly. Anyway, thank you very much. It is impossible for us to retreat. It's too late to replenish the equipment, so let's go ahead as planned tomorrow." Lu Kang explained briefly, and he didn't forget to thank Yunli.

Not only him, but even Ma Dagu, Xiao Hu and others who started to have some prejudices against him, also politely nodded to Yunli. If he hadn't warned in advance this time, the situation facing everyone would be more serious, and they would lose money Probably more than just three cars.

Now that they have made a decision, Yunli didn't raise any objections, he was very concerned about the sandworm's situation, and asked, "Has anyone of you encountered this kind of thing before, is this how they chase after everyone?"

"This is the first time I have encountered such a large sandworm. The largest one I encountered before was only as thick as an arm. This time, there are more than a dozen of them. I don't know where they are usually hidden?" Big Ma took the lead in answering. , now he is fully armed, with several powerful guys on his back, including a sniper rifle, he doesn't look like an ordinary guy.

Others also shook their heads when they heard this question. It seemed that this was the first time they had encountered such a huge sandworm. It's not the first time I've encountered sandworm swarms, they feed on grass roots and don't have much interaction with other creatures, so they shouldn't be chasing us."

The younger Lu Jin and Lu Dong stood behind him. The three of them were in the same car. After going through the previous dangerous situation, their expressions were not very good, especially the girl Lu Dong, who was in the team. She was the youngest, about 20 years old, not even younger, hiding behind her big brother Lu Qiu without saying a word, and she didn't know if she was frightened.

"Now the giant sandworms have all been eliminated, but the swarm of sandworms is still around outside. They are obviously targeting us. Otherwise, there is no other explanation. Why is this?" Xiao Hu couldn't help but ask. road.

This question made everyone very distressed. Lu Fenger guessed: "Could it be the noise from our vehicle that touched these things? I have heard of some creatures before, which have unique responses to certain special sounds or vibrations. Keep chasing."

Her explanation is easier for people to accept, but no one can determine the reason. The most entangled person is Yunli. When encountering these sandworms, he unconsciously thinks of those ghost meteors and ghost things in Meili Snow Mountain. He just smelled the electromagnetic force on his body, and he chased him so hard at the beginning. Could it be that these sandworms also have the ability to sense electromagnetic force?
This idea was quickly rejected by him. If the sandworms had this ability, he would not be able to detect it, unless their ability could override the electromagnetic force, and the sandworms were not all targeting him personally. Being chased is an example. Sandworm should be targeting the entire team rather than him personally.

Everyone knows that the situation is abnormal, but they can't find the reason. This is the most worrying point, but no matter what, it is the right way to solve the immediate predicament first. Lu Kang suggested: "Although the sandworm swarm cannot enter for a while, Come, but the longer they are active outside, the more unstable the area will be, we'd better escape as soon as possible, without the giant sandworms, it's not difficult to get rid of them."

"It shouldn't be too late. Let's choose a direction to fight out. We don't know if there will be more sandworms surrounding us. We can't sit still." Lu Qiu also agreed.

Lu Kang also meant the same thing, but before making a decision, he still wanted to ask Yunli's opinion, which was considered his approval, so he asked, "What does brother Yunli mean?"

"I have no problem. Choose the place where the huge sandworms fell. The sandworms seem to be very afraid of this kind of big sandworms. They are not very willing to get close to these big guys. There are fewer sandworms gathered there, which can be regarded as a breakthrough point." Yunli also agreed that he had to escape first, and it would not be an option to grind here, so he told his discovery.

Not only him, but several people have noticed this detail. They immediately got into the car in batches, crushed the swarm of sand worms from the original road, and then immediately turned to the east, proceeding along the planned route, and the giant sand worms disappeared. The pressure from the sandworm swarm did not pose much threat to them, and they were thrown off by the team not long after.

After this night's thrilling escape, everyone's mood is not very good, especially if there is a loss of personnel. Even though they are all well-trained special personnel, it is difficult to completely control emotions, no matter how they are trained. It was not long after they set off that they encountered this kind of thing, and their confidence was hit.

They walked east for a while, then turned to the north, circled a large circle to avoid this unstable area, and then continued to the center. With the previous lessons, everyone raised their attention to the highest level. The wind and the grass are not spared.

Before noon, they encountered a small wooded area in the swamp, and everyone was tired after traveling all night, so Lu Kang asked people to stop in this wooded area, so that everyone could rest for a while to rectify and catch their breath.

There are many ways to alleviate people’s worries. The more effective one is to eat something good. The supplies in the off-road vehicle are abundant, including all kinds of emergency food. Lu Kang made a fire and cooked a meal with noodles and canned meat. Eating, having warm food imported into the stomach can bring a little peace of mind to everyone.

But before the thing was imported, Yunli's shout came again, and a large group of army ants sprang out from the woods at some point, densely packed and densely packed with no end in sight, all of them immediately got into the car and fled again, let alone eating, He didn't even bring any tableware or anything, and raced against time to escape.

It's no wonder everyone is so panicked. Army ants are different from ordinary ants. They are big and fast. There are millions of them in a group. They like to catch prey on the move. That's why they have the famous title of army ants. If you are entangled by them On the road, within a few minutes, a living person will be eaten to a bone, and even iron vehicles cannot resist it.

Army ants usually live in jungle areas. Such a huge number is rare even in tropical primitive jungles, but they just met them. As soon as the car moved, the ant colony had a target to chase, and they all chased the vehicle hold on.

Although the road here is very rough, ants are ants after all, no matter how fast they are, they are no faster than four tires. Except for being startled by them at the beginning, the actual threat is not great, but after this experience, everyone is like a frightened bird. , I didn't dare to stop to rest anymore, staying in the car is the safest place right now.

Although they were advancing non-stop, due to successive accidents, they spent most of their time in detours to avoid crises, and then returned to the correct route. This took most of the time, and the progress of the trip was not ideal. and mental strength.

At dusk, they encountered strange things again. As soon as the convoy stopped to rest, a large group of crows flew from the sky, instead of returning home and returning to their nests, they hovered above their heads and screamed non-stop. Too many, the voice is getting louder and louder, annoying.

Everyone wanted to run away immediately, but Yun Li came out to stop them. After a series of weird incidents, he felt that someone was manipulating all this behind the scenes, or that it was not a human being. In short, they are being played around now. He doesn't like it very much. This feeling will not change much if I continue to escape.
