Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 242 Shadow of Death

"Hold!"

Zhao Yao and other soldiers also had quick eyesight and quick hands. They pulled out several flamethrowers from the tracked vehicles and violently sprayed flames at the insect swarm.

Fortunately, these bugs can ignite after being sprayed with fuel, and in a blink of an eye, a large number of burning corpses are formed. Immediately afterwards, the acid liquid exploded by the burning insects even formed a white mist, floating in the air, intertwined with the thick smoke of the fire.

Even... even Yu Yifeng himself was ignited!

Many red alarm programs lit up on the helmet display, but Yu Yifeng ignored them.

Only a dozen meters away, and in less than two seconds, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the three people lying down!

He felt that the bug attached to his body was extremely powerful and had a strong blocking force on personal movements, just like a big man constantly pushing and rubbing. No wonder, these people couldn't stand up at all!

Yu Yifeng exerted a sudden force, and the powerful movement ability of this power armor exploded, quickly overcoming these bugs.

He grabbed one in each hand, carried another on his back, turned around, kicked up a lot of soil under his feet, and then ran wildly in the direction of the tracked vehicle.

What made his scalp numb was that after throwing the incendiary bomb, a large number of insects emerged from the hole, as if... endless!

This black desert seems to be filling the entire cave! Thinking of the scene where his body was covered with insects and even submerged, Yu Yifeng felt a chill in his heart and felt goosebumps all over his body.

The swarms of bugs that emerged became even crazier, like moths rushing to a flame, constantly rushing towards the direction of the flames. There were more and more of them, and even holes appeared in all directions!

What burns away is far slower than what comes out!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yao and several others were also under intensive care. Their whole bodies were also wrapped in insects, and they had to set themselves on fire.

"Come in quickly! Stop spraying! You... come in quickly!"

Yu Yifeng yelled at the last few Huos, pulled them into the car one by one, and then slammed the door of the tracked car shut.

"Poof", a clever soldier picked up a dry ice fire extinguisher and sprayed it wildly, extinguishing the fire on several people.

The entire interior of the carriage was smoky. Fortunately, everyone was wearing power armor, so it wasn't a big problem.

There weren't too many bugs that followed, and a group of people beat them and finally wiped them all out. One after another, small corpses fell to the metal ground, making a "hissing" sound of melting metal.

In order to save costs, this non-combat tracked vehicle is made of conventional stainless steel. Of course, it cannot withstand such strong acid, and they are corroding slowly. Hydrogen gas emerged.

"Captain, my helmet is corroded and cracked! I smell the smell of rotten eggs, and I just came into contact with the alien atmosphere!" At this time, a soldier suddenly shouted in panic. He had just escaped from death. One of the Burning Man.

Hearing his scream, everyone even had a small wave of confusion.

"If the helmet is broken, go inside and replace it with a new one, then inject broad-spectrum immunity medicine, and immediately isolate and treat it after returning to the base! Everyone, please check your power armor and helmet!"

Yu Yifeng said calmly, he must not show panic at this time.

He put down the people he was carrying and inspected them carefully, slowly frowning...

Dead, all dead!

Two soldiers and one scientist, they were completely gone in this short moment, and they didn't even have time to hum.

What Yu Yifeng desperately saved was only three corpses...

"Guo Hao, Locke, James..."

Life is really too fragile, especially human life, a race with only eight or nine percent physical potential...

As long as the power armor is slightly damaged and leaks, or the helmet is cracked, someone can easily die.

All three men had their helmets cracked and then died from being corroded by strong acid.

Because their power armor was made of super-alloy metal, it was relatively intact, but the plexiglass of their helmets couldn't withstand the corrosion caused by the strong acid from the insect swarm, and big holes broke out one after another!

Their entire brains were so corroded by acid that they looked invisible, as if they had been splashed with sulfuric acid, with no trace of life activity at all.

Yu Yifeng was silent and didn't speak for a long time. He frowned, then sighed heavily and turned his body away.

He carefully checked his equipment. The super alloy could resist the strong acid slightly, and there was no big problem in a short period of time, but the helmet was not good at all.

In just a few seconds, some molten pits appeared on his helmet, as if a layer of frosted glass had been scraped off...

People are afraid because they have witnessed death with their own eyes.

These three, their good comrades and colleagues, are now lying here alone. Even a moment ago, they were talking and laughing... but now they are gone forever.

But there is no time to be sad at the moment, because the crisis is far from over. These tracked vehicles are temporary shelters. The steel plates are very thick, but they are not combat-type!

Moreover, the car also has large glass windows like a bus, so you can clearly see outside.

What if the glass is corroded...

The bugs outside are gathering more and more, and they are as overwhelming as a black desert. People have never seen so many black bugs.

They rushed towards the burning flames in waves!

The flames were quickly extinguished, and soon after, other more bizarre creatures appeared. They were generally small in size, some looked like mice, and the largest ones were monkeys. They seemed to ignore the strong acid and kept eating the black bugs.

Then they all ran wildly in another direction...the direction of the spaceship!

Is this the underground ecosystem? Everyone looked at each other.

I don’t know how long this insect wave will last, but I can’t stay here forever! What if the nuclear engine exploded...

"...Captain! They are attacking us! They are attacking our car!" A superior soldier suddenly sent the message.

Yu Yifeng hurriedly turned to look out the window. All of them were divided into three cars. The middle car was already densely surrounded by black insects, like a big cocoon!

not good! If this tracked vehicle is breached, the more than thirty people inside will be dead!

He was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. He quickly opened the car door and casually threw an incendiary bomb.

With a "boom", all the insects seemed to be disturbed by the flames again, and they rushed towards the incendiary bomb crazily.

Even if it was burned due to this, there were suddenly fewer bugs besieging the vehicle in the middle.

"They... they seem to be attracted to flames!"

A soldier had an idea and shouted urgently, "Do you want to use a few more incendiary bombs?!".

Suddenly, a biologist was heard shouting anxiously: "No, it's not flames...it's heat energy! It's the heat that attracts them! Quick, let them turn off the car's engine!"

Yu Yifeng paused thoughtfully. This is the truth. There are very few bugs outside the other two cars, but the car in the middle is like a big black cocoon... It must be because the engine is turned on!

He hurriedly shouted: "Shut down! You are about to turn off the car's engine!"

While speaking, he threw another incendiary bomb...
