Just before everyone started to be happy, Li Qingyuan felt a sense of crisis falling from the sky.

He didn't even think about it before kicking Oli directly.

'Crack! '

A three-meter-long giant sickle slashed through the air, rubbing against Ollie's calf.

"Ahhh!"

In an instant, several screams came from all around, and the huge monster that suddenly appeared shattered everyone's heroic dream.

Mantis troll!

This thing looks very much like a giant praying mantis, but the height of more than ten meters and the crab-claw-like forelimbs that are more than three meters long are really far from the praying mantis.

No matter in terms of size or appearance, this thing is completely different from the three scum monsters that have been destroyed, and it is definitely a predatory creature.

"what!!!"

David raised his flamethrower and shot at the monster in the mist. The five-meter-long flame dragon instantly dispelled the smoke, and the mantis monster's forelimbs were directly touched by the flames.

It's just that the flames that can carbonize the parasitic spiders are not a lethal threat to the giant mantis monster at all. At best, people are burned by a lighter.

'quack! '

An angry red pepper came out of the mantis' mouth, making the eardrums bulge.

Well, even if such a huge creature has no special abilities, it can be regarded as a weapon of war with its hard enough shell!

'boom! '

Ollie fired at the mantid. The little dwarf looked inconspicuous, but he was actually a master shooter and once won the state shooting championship.

At the very least, it is much better than Li Qingyuan's half-assed marksmanship!

'quack! '

The mantis monster that was continuously attacked was angry, and the food in front of it actually hurt it, which made the mantis monster extremely angry.

Just came to add a meal before the meal, and was actually bitten by the food.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing the mantis monster's forelimbs draw over again, everyone immediately began to run away.

However, compared to the huge size of the other party, human legs are really too slow.

The speed of the mantis monster is not fast, but if its forelimbs are fully deployed, it will be ten meters long, with such a large attack range, unless it is slow to the level of a sloth, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for a normal person to run away. .

"what!"

An unlucky guy who didn't know his name was caught. He screamed in the air and stared at Li Qingyuan with hatred.

Just now, under normal circumstances, he should be able to dodge, but Li Qingyuan pushed him directly, causing him to be caught by the crab claws of the mantis monster.

No way, looking at the old man who was about to be caught in two, Li Qingyuan could only shrug.

If you don't die, then according to the inertia, the dead should be David who can't run fast with a flamethrower on his back!

A choice between [-] points and a point, smart people know how to do it well.

Anyway, everyone was exhausted just now, and no one except the party knew what he did.

That guy David didn't even know that he had just walked around the gate of hell just now, and his heart palpitated when he saw the giant monster slowly receding.

Chapter 39 is coming to an end

"Why did it retreat!"

When the figure of the mantis troll slowly disappeared into the mist, David, who was still in shock, asked.

No one answered his question, and no one knew why the other party retreated.

However, Li Qingyuan looked at the direction in which the mantis monster disappeared, and frowned for a while.

The biological habits of these monsters are very obvious. If there are any senior biological zoology experts, they may be able to tame them.

The mantis monster just now obviously wanted to come over for a meal, but I didn't expect that the food would actually bite!

So after a little consideration, the mantis monster who got the food directly chose to retreat.

The animal's thinking is very simple. Since it has already obtained today's food, it will not prepare more for tomorrow's portion.

Male lions in the African savannah also don't kill excess prey in one go, because they also know to maintain a corresponding balance.

Apparently, the mantis were looking to this place as their next food source.

"I think we're going to be in trouble tomorrow!" Li Qingyuan said a little depressed when he returned to the supermarket.

Although I feel like I'm thinking too much, but considering the urine nature of the system, this judgment is absolutely true in all likelihood.

If he didn't go to burn the pharmacy next door, he would have to face an endless stream of spiders for the remaining two days.

But once the pharmacy next door is burned down, then you will have to face the mantis monster that comes to prey.

Anyway, it is an option to choose one of two, it is absolutely impossible for me to spend the remaining three days in a safe and secure manner.

"You have also seen that kind of monster. With the defense of the supermarket, it is absolutely unstoppable!"

The mantis monster's three-meter-long crab claws and its huge size, not to mention that the front of the supermarket is just a glass plate, even if it is all made of concrete, it may not be able to resist the opponent's attack.

"We can't let it attack the supermarket. If the defense of the supermarket is broken, then everyone here will not be able to survive!" Li Qingyuan said slowly, looking at the survivors surrounding him.

"But our attack has no effect on it at all!" Ollie said with palpitations. Whether it's a flamethrower or a pistol bullet, it can't have a lethal effect on that kind of giant monster, and at most it's just a repulsion.

"But we can hurt it and make it scared, otherwise it won't escape today!" Although he had guessed the main reason for the mantis monster's exit today, he didn't want to say it.

In fact, the best way is to follow the method of Mrs. Carmody in the original book, throwing two people out as sacrifices every day, then the full mantis will treat the people in the supermarket as its reserves, not only will it not be massacred , and even protect these people.

After all, dead food never tastes fresh, right?

It's just that Mrs. Carmody can do this kind of thing, but he can't do it. If two of these people are chosen to die tomorrow, then there will be chaos tonight.

The pit I dug, I have to jump with tears. If I knew earlier, I might as well make a person a cult leader. Wouldn't this be much better than the current splendid person?

"The army will arrive in a few days at most, and we must protect this place!" Seeing everyone's expressions, he had no choice but to start a new round of chicken soup.

"Everyone, think about the people you need to protect, whether to face that monster with me like a hero, or to shrink here and wait to die like a coward!"

"You have also seen the scene in the pharmacy. If those people were not panicked, they would not have turned into that scene. Now that victory is in sight, how can they give up because of such a small setback."

After pouring more than a dozen chicken soups in a row, they finally boosted the morale of the group a little bit, and then the short one chose the big one, and picked a dozen guys to go out with him to meet the enemy tomorrow.

Of course, to say it nicely is to meet the enemy, but in fact it is to give food to the mantis monster.

According to the mantis monster's appetite, it is estimated that one person is enough for it to eat for a day. I don't know which lucky person will be selected by the other party tomorrow.

The fourth night was peaceful. I don't know if the mantis monster really regarded everyone in the supermarket as a reserve of food. Anyway, no monsters came to harass him all night, even those iron and stupid skeleton birds. Gone.

The next two days passed without any danger. Every morning, he would select twelve warriors from the supermarket to go out with him to fight the mantis giant, and then he would take away two sacrifices by the opponent.

Two sacrifices in exchange for the safety of everyone in the supermarket, this is definitely a very cost-effective deal.

In fact, two smart people like Norton and David have already guessed in their hearts the intention of the mantis giant and Li Qingyuan's real thoughts of constantly fooling people to go out and die.

But smart people swallowed the truth they came up with, because David had already fought the mantis monster on the first day, and Norton was fooled out to fight once on the second day. According to the regulations, they The two no longer have to go out!

So since going out to feed the dog is not up to them, then of course they will not put themselves in danger for the safety of others.

Even if it seems very cruel to feed monsters with people every day, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better to let a small number of people go out and die!

Besides, Officer Li leads the charge every day, so no matter how suspicious the others are, they can only bear it.

"Today is the seventh day!" Li Qingyuan said leisurely after looking at the white weather outside.

According to the task description of the system, as long as you can persist until noon today, even if the task is completed, there will only be six hours left.

There are still more than [-] surviving personnel in the supermarket now, and all the special plot characters except Mrs. Carmody's tragic death, everyone else must be alive.

If this is calculated, I can get close to thirty attribute points!

Although I feel that the system should not allow myself to get so many rewards, people always have dreams.

Maybe this garbage system has too much memory and it burns itself out!

"Seven days!" Sari, who was sleeping beside him, also got up in a mess, and said rather sighing.

Her original childhood sweetheart had already died heroically in the process of fighting the mantis troll the day before yesterday. A total of four people died in the past two days, including the three soldiers!

It has to be said that this is a very coincidental thing, and there is absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation.

After the soldier's death, Sari, the little girl, suddenly felt full of malice from others, and even the female colleague with whom she used to be the best began to sneer at her.

Everyone knew that this disaster was caused by the experiment of the military base hidden in the mountain. It was normal for Hate House and Wuxia to look at those soldiers differently.

The little girl Sally didn't know the situation when she started, but she dared to speak for the three guys, which led to the current consequences.

Chapter 40 Talking and laughing at the enemy

Everyone has to pay for their choices, and Sari is no exception.

Although everyone did not hate her as much as they hated the three soldiers, isolation was inevitable.

So this little girl came directly to Li Qingyuan yesterday after considering half pay.

Because she didn't want to be randomly selected to fight the mantis and then make an inexplicable heroic sacrifice.

Although it is reasonable to say that the candidates who go out to fight every day are all adult males, but according to the number of males left in the supermarket, on the tenth day, unless the men are selected again, otherwise the women must be the top. !

When faced with a life-and-death crisis, there is no woman first, and Sari feels that with her current popularity in the supermarket, if she is selected to fight the mantis, she will definitely be the one who will sacrifice herself.

So she immediately grasped the crux of the problem and ran to Li Qingyuan to ask for a life-saving talisman.

Of course, because the environment in the supermarket is too bad, even if she throws her arms around her, there is no substantial relationship between the two.

After all, her square face really doesn't quite fit Li Qingyuan's aesthetic, but no matter what, the other party is considered a small town flower, and it is quite comforting to have such a tool that can be used to warm your hands when you have nothing to do.

"Wait for a while, and go out with me!" Li Qingyuan ordered to Sari, patting her face.

"what!"

Sari's little face turned pale immediately. Could it be that she didn't work hard enough?

"Follow me with peace of mind, don't think nonsense!" Seeing the other party's desperate expression, Li Qingyuan naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't bother to explain it to him.

He had lied to everyone that the government's rescue would not come until ten days later, but according to the prompt given by the system, the government's rescue force should have returned at noon today.
