Chapter 63 The Plague of Insects

After a long time, we returned to the clearing where the cat's corpse was first dug up.

In the open space where the stone man stood in the center, I saw more and more fireflies gathering like a storm, so I had to make up my mind and call out to Zhao Hong and Ah Si.

"Everyone is close together, with our backs to the stone man! Array to 'counterattack'."

This is not an option. One advantage of leaning against the rock is that you don't need to worry about the swarm attacking from behind.Moreover, Zhao Hong and I protected the small Ah Si under our legs, which also reduced the probability of being attacked by one person.

After finishing the formation, we immediately threw off our coats, waved them desperately, and slapped down the big bugs that were close to us one by one.

The tragedy of the black dog just now made us think too deeply, so everyone is deeply afraid of these small blade-like bugs, and the dancing clothes are also extremely crazy, wishing to kill them all.

The fireflies are extremely bright in the dark night, so their targets are very obvious. Although there are many, the attack trajectory is completely clear. This is one of the reasons why we have not been torn apart by them until now.

In this way, relying on the relatively strong terrain, we were barely able to stalemate in the confrontation with the swarm.

But I know that everyone's methods are primitive and hopeless, because the swarm is endless, as long as the sky is not bright, as long as the "power" that controls the swarm is still there, we will not be able to win.

After exhaustion, we will surely die.

Suddenly, as if to confirm my words, one of those swarms of green and blood-red insects finally penetrated my defense, bypassed my coat with the airflow, and slashed through the air like a small missile. The bloody red light hit the side of my neck directly.

A piercing pain pierced through my nerves instantly.

I yelled "ah", shook my head desperately a few times, and the hand waving the jacket trembled a little.

Stimulated by bursts of pain, I freed my right arm, stretched out my hand to the side of my neck, and slapped it hard, just pressing down on a "thing" that was baring its teeth and claws.

A wave of nausea struck me, I gritted my teeth, and tore off the worm body that slipped through the net abruptly from my neck.

"Die to me!" I gritted my teeth.
In fact, among the hundreds or even thousands of insects attacking in turn, this is not the only fish that slipped through my net. Fortunately, my clothes are strong enough and there are not many gaps. In addition, my lower body is taken care of by Xiao Si, so here I am. After one bite, I persisted for another two or three minutes without being bitten again.

But gradually, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

After the form became more stable, I suddenly discovered that the swarms on my side were much denser than those on Zhao Hong's side, and the swarms on Zhao Hong's lower body were far more dense than those on the top of his head.Especially his bald head, as fat as a pig's head, should have been an excellent target for worms, but now there is no worm to patronize.

His "leisurely" situation is in stark contrast to my dilemma.

why is that? !

At first, I thought it was a phenomenon caused by the smell of rotten cat corpses on my body, but I thought it was not.

During the whole process, I certainly had the most bloody corpses, but Xiao Ah Si and Zhao Hong were standing so close to me, they were almost alone, it was impossible to only look for me and not them, and the light and shadow of the insect swarm in the insect sky Judging from the trajectory, Zhao Hong's body seemed to be covered by something. Every time an insect flew near his head, it would immediately bypass it as if it had encountered some invisible barrier.

It's too unreasonable. Could it be that the bugs also pick me up and bully me?Just because I'm the unluckiest?
When I thought of this, I couldn't help getting angry, so I casually cursed at the swarm of insects in the air: "Is there such a bully?!"

My voice was very loud, and my voice was a little hoarse. This sudden roar even made Zhao Hong shiver involuntarily, and at the same time turned his head to look at me.

It doesn't matter what he saw, it really saved my life at that time!

For a moment, I figured out why the bugs only bite me and not him.

At this time, I saw from the corner of my eye that there was a bright red spot on one side of Zhao Hong's head, and the spot was billowing with green smoke. Obviously, it was the cigarette butt that Zhao Hong was holding in his mouth and hadn't finished smoking.

Zhao Hong is a person who is used to smoking to relieve pressure in nervous situations.He started with three tables of "yin banquets" along the way, and his spirit was always tense, so the cigarettes were never broken.Because of this, there is a strong tar smell on the whole head.

This worm turns out to be afraid of smoke!In fact... any bug is afraid of smoke!
When I thought of this in excitement, I immediately yelled: "This bug is probably afraid of smoke! Lao Zhao, give me and Ah Si both!"

Zhao Hong, who was out of breath, answered me when he heard the words: "I can't spare my hand! You...take it yourself."

What he said is the same as if he didn't say it.

If he can't spare his hands from the attack of the swarm of worms, I can't even use my feet as hands!And as my physical strength was gradually overdrawn, the clothes in my hand gradually lost the strength to wave them.

Not to mention hands, I can't even free up a finger.

In desperation, I had no choice but to say to little Ah Si: "Ah Si! Climb on him to find cigarettes!"

My words instantly turned the protected Ah Si into a savior for both of us.

Hearing this, Ah Si laughed out loud, and shouted urgently, "Okay!"

As soon as the monkey-like Ah Si finished speaking, he climbed up my shoulders along my legs, jumped onto Zhao Hong's fat body, climbed onto his head, and quickly took out a bag of clothes from Zhao Hong's underwear. Crumpled cigarettes.

Feeling Ah Si's actions in a trance, I couldn't help sighing sincerely: "Ah, you really belong to the monkey. In the past, you could act in a play by sticking on the hair..."

After a while, Ah Si quickly lit three cigarettes, and he suddenly put one in my mouth, and then climbed down my legs.

I didn't care about his spitting stars on the cigarette butt, and after absorbing a mouthful suddenly, I spit it out at the flying insects!And coherently using the jacket in his hand to open it!
A "wave of smoke" was immediately sent out by me!

Just as I expected!
Under the action of the smoke waves, the fireflies retreated quickly, and many of them turned around and went away buzzing.

Immediately, one-third of the swarm's attack dissipated, which made me infinitely happy.

I couldn't help yelling at Zhao Hong and Ah Si: "Order tofu in brine! Blow the smoke~ we'll live!"

While talking, Zhao Hong and Ah Si, who saw the effect, were also happy, and followed my example and fanned out the waves of thick smoke.

In less than half a minute, the bugs were forced back about five or six meters by us.

As the smoke spread, the fireflies were obviously not so "concentric". Although they still surrounded us like a whirlwind, they dared not approach us, let alone bite us.

Finally, everyone got a rare chance to breathe.

The three of us leaned against the rock behind us, and all collapsed lazily on the ground, smoking cigarettes for a while to rest.When the smoke around you is gradually thinning, take a puff from time to time, and fan a few times, it only takes a minute or two.

Staring at the faint light that was near and far away, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation on my neck. Following the feeling, I reached out to touch my neck, but I touched a hard "attachment".

"What is this?!" Surprised in my heart, I gently tugged at the hard lump, only to find that the adhesion was quite firm.In desperation, I had to twist it left and right a few more times, and it took me a long time to find a way to "pull" the hard lump off my neck.

Then with the light of the mobile phone, I looked at the thing in my palm, and suddenly it was nothing but... the dark red head of a firefly, about the size of a thumbnail.

The bug that bit my neck before was actually only torn off by me, and its head was still hanging on my neck until just now. A piece of flesh.

Is this bug a bastard?Bite and not let go?
In my resentment, I crushed the bug head into powder and threw it out.

Little Ah Si looked at my movements and asked me puzzled: "Second brother, what did you throw just now? It stinks."

"Ball!" I returned.

"Ball?" Zhao Hong and Ah Si were stunned.

"No!" Seeing that they got it wrong, I waved my hand again and said, "It doesn't look like (yes), it looks like a ball (head)!"

After I finished saying this, I was suddenly taken aback!
Why am I drooling all of a sudden?Why. My articulation is not clear?

Surprised, I hurriedly put my hand into my mouth, and gently pulled my tongue.

I actually... didn't feel anything at all.

Then, I reached out and pressed my neck, including the wound that was bitten by fireflies just now... I didn't feel anything at all.

"There is music (poison)!" Suddenly, I said in a halazi.

Little Ah Si and Zhao Hong looked at my abnormal behavior and were confused.

In desperation, I stretched out my hand and typed a few words on my mobile phone: "Insects are poisonous and nerve paralyzed."

Little Ah Si and Zhao Hong both probed over to look at my wound when they heard the words.

Zhao Hong said with a trembling voice: "It's swollen! There are bloodshots all around!"

The three of them were all silent, and this time the silence was filled with despair.

Wang Hou and Xian Hongye were not found, but according to the current situation, they probably encountered a similar situation in the Yinbing Tomb, and according to our judgment, they may be in danger.

One bite of this vicious firefly can make people's tongue numb. If they bite a few more times, within a few minutes, they will probably lose consciousness and let the insects kill them, right? !
Moreover, our current situation is also very bad. Although the nuisance of the insect swarm is temporarily stopped with smoke, cigarettes must be limited.

The worm refused to leave for a long time, and when the "ammunition and food ran out", the three people were completely sad.

I looked at those insects dancing and shining like stars, and suddenly realized that I had to move to a safer place.And the only safe place we know right now is Zhao Hong's pickup.

Although the windshield of Zhao Hong's pickup is broken, it can be covered with the canvas in the back pocket. The most important thing is that there is enough "gasoline" in the car, which is much stronger than cigarettes. With them, we can Then you can advance and retreat offensively and defensively with ease.

So, I quickly took out my mobile phone, typed out my thoughts, and handed them to Zhao Hong and the others.

When Zhao Hong and Ah Si saw the bright and faint words on the screen of the mobile phone, their spirits were lifted for a while.The three of them stood up immediately, ready to go to the miscellaneous woods to find firewood and light a few torches, while driving away the insects, they retreated to the pickup truck.

But what we didn't expect was that as soon as the three of them stood up, they immediately heard another sharp meowing sound from the bushes!
Immediately afterwards, all the fireflies stopped flying as if they had received some "command", and crawled in unison on the open space near the "stone man", forming a circle around us.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

As the cautious howling of a cat got closer and closer, we suddenly realized that the Lord was coming!
Sure enough, just a moment later, the red light appeared again among the trees!A dark figure, surrounded by bloody light, was facing us and walked out of the woodland.

That shadow has ghostly blue eyes, and it has Xian Hongye's mobile phone dangling in its mouth!
