Chapter 108

Devil moth.

One of the deadly high-risk xenoliths on waste soil.

Although its single combat effectiveness is not strong, and a gnawing eater may be inseparable from it, if it is to be ranked according to the degree of danger, I'm afraid even the climbers will have to bow down.

Risk factor, at least level B or above!

This kind of organism usually appears in a social form. Its larvae feed on spiritual leaves, and adults omnivorous and mainly carnivorous.

The larva has no fighting ability, but the mouth of the adult is extremely sharp and has a strong biting force!

It is said that the strongest devil moth queen in the group can even tear steel. The general devil moth can bite through several bulletproof vests.

Of course, not every nest of devil moths can give birth to the queen of devil moths, just like not all cleft clawed crabs have their queen.

But even so, it's dangerous enough.

Interestingly, although this kind of alien is no different from pests, it is not completely useless.

For example, the larvae of the devil moth secrete a kind of silk thread called "devil silk" to make cocoon houses.

It is said that this kind of devil silk has high strength, even more than some high molecular biopolymers, and its material is light, so it is usually used to make armor with excellent performance. This kind of material is not only welcomed by waste land guests such as mercenaries and caravan guards, but also sought after by the upper class of Jushi city.

However, this kind of alien is not common, and its demand for living environment is even more demanding than that of mutant leeches.

Firstly, they need enough light and heat. Secondly, their larvae also need to feed on spiritual leaves, otherwise the population can't reproduce at all.

As for spirit leaf, it is said that it can be used to make a mild addictive stimulant. Making tea alone also has a refreshing effect far better than ordinary coffee and tea.

Why did the spirit leaf appear in an abandoned greenhouse site?

This is what Chu Guang couldn't figure out.

According to the description of [makabazi] on the forum, they encounter a lot of devil moths in the greenhouse

Makabazi: "Gan! You can't imagine how unlucky I am! Brother edge and I were going to go to the greenhouse site to see if there are any good things that can be recycled. As soon as we went in, they were attacked by moths!"

Night ten: "it's OK to look into the grass. It always reminds me of a person. (funny)"

Crow crow: "ha ha! This man has died twice! Food! Ha ha! Ha ha! O (* ≥ ▽≤) ツ"

Makabazi: "(#` Д ´)！”

Fang Chang: "don't worry about the food first. How did you get in?"

Gale: "I'm also curious about this problem. If I remember correctly, the door outside the greenhouse is electrically switched? And they have all been rusted to death. Lao Bai broke and bent the two steel pipes without prying them open. He didn't explode with gunpowder. We all suspect it's a game map."

Makabazi: "the edge man is a firefighter and a perception department. This guy walked around the greenhouse like that tower and kept muttering to me that there must be a fire passage to go in. I thought it was reasonable, so I looked with him for a while, and sure enough, I found a safety door in the warehouse!"

Chief Fang: "the safety door in the warehouse? I seem to have seen it, but I can't open it?"

Gale: "well, that thing also has electricity."

Makabazi: "Here's the magic place! We tried, but we couldn't pry it open, but we could find a distribution box in the room. Brother edge checked the distribution box and found that the switch in it was stuck and the fuse was burned. Brother edge wanted to repair it, but we couldn't understand it. We scratched our ears and scratched our cheeks for a while and thought of a stupid way to pull out what could be removed from the box Pull out all replacement plug-ins, and then find replaceable parts around to replace them. "

"We didn't even want to succeed, but after replacing some things that didn't know whether they were batteries or fuses, the light on the door magically lit up! Then we couldn't wait to open the safety door and go into the greenhouse... Then I hit the moths in the face!"

Edge stroke: "it's called Devil moth! I asked!"

Makabazi: "Yo, the edge man is back? Are you okay?"

Edge stroke: "Hey, hey, it's OK. The VM was brought back, and my equipment was saved. It's just that my injury was too serious and was repaired by my teammates."

Crow: "O (* ≥ ▽≤) ツ"

Fang Chang: "I just read the official website to update the information of the devil moth. It is said that the silk thread produced by the devil moth larvae is a kind of textile material with excellent performance. The devil moth's teeth can make tools such as daggers and scissors, and the spirit leaves eaten by the larvae can make stimulants."

WC really has mosquitoes: "sleeping trough! Advanced equipment material?! isn't that rich?!"

Mole at large in the canyon: "you have to spend your life to get rich again. Look at brother Ba and brother edge, one power department and one perception department. Their grades are lv4. As a result, they go and give it away. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

Fang Chang: "well, what surprised me in particular was that the perception system of lv4 did not judge the enemy. I'm afraid the concealment of the devil moth is higher than that of the climber!"

Lao Bai: "I'm really afraid of this. And there are crops in that greenhouse? That is to say... There is electricity in it?"

Fang Chang: "this possibility is very great. The power supply system of the gate and the cultivation system inside the greenhouse may be two different sets of power supplies. Let's make a bold assumption. What is the most worried security problem of this highly integrated greenhouse?"

Lao Bai: "power off?"

Fang Chang: "that's right! Different from traditional agriculture, once this greenhouse is powered off, it means that the ventilation system, water supply system and lighting system are completely interrupted. It only takes a few hours, which may lead to the death of crops in the unsuitable temperature, air and lighting environment. Therefore, in addition to relying on the public power grid, this facility should also be equipped with independent power supply."

Gale: "well, the standby power supply for internal facilities and external facilities should not be the same."

Night ten: "what power supply can work for two hundred years?"

Mole at large in the canyon: "are you stupid? The pre war era in the background of the game has been half Utopia? Controlled nuclear fusion is not basic operation? One kilogram of helium 3 can generate 1.7 billion kwh of electricity, and 100 tons is enough for global combustion for one year. What's the concept? Suppose there is a one ton fusion fuel rod in it, let alone 200 years, I think it will be no problem in the next century."

Gale: "even without nuclear fusion, even the solid-state hydrogen battery often appeared in science fiction works is enough for a long time. Because hydrogen itself is not active, as long as the battery structure is not damaged, in theory, the battery can last for a long time."

Night 10: "how is it possible?! even for controlled fusion, does the equipment need no maintenance?"

Mole at large in the canyon: "what else do you want? Do you want the game developer to build one for you to verify? Does Eve have to build a Stargate for you? Does JK Rowling have to cast a spell for you?"

Seeing that they were going to quarrel, the square commander quickly rounded up the scene.

"Well, well, the ox horn set by night ten drill is sharp. Let's ignore him first and talk about your idea."

The canyon is at large, continued the mole.

"It's very simple. I think it should be a strange point. The official website said that devil silk is a good thing, as well as the material of devil moth and those spiritual leaves that can be used as stimulants. The problem now is how to brush monsters safely. The frontal rush certainly can't work. The power of lv4 can't stand it. I think it's enough for others to go."

Later, players, you and I discussed it one by one. There were ten or twenty pages, and Chu Guang saw the end all the time.

This group of people decided to try fire attack at first. Fire is good to restrain the dissimilarity of insect system, but the disadvantage is that the booty will burn together. I'm afraid it's difficult to leave anything.

Others mentioned putting air conditioning in.

But the building itself is durable enough. I'm afraid it's not so easy to tear down the greenhouse. In addition, if the facilities inside are still working and there is enough heat generation, it is difficult to say how much effect a large hole in the window can have.

Finally, after some discussion, a group of people decided to lead the devil moths out of the safe passage, and then break them one by one outside.

When the number of devil moths in the nest is small, rush in and quickly plunder a wave, and then retreat.

As for mosquitoes

He chose the wrong person and left a sentence that I was best at this job. Then he went offline from the official website and ran into the game early.

Chu Guang didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't interfere with the players' playing methods. Now the active material reserve of the outpost base is enough to allow them to die a little.

Devil silk can not only be used as armor, but also as a specialty to trade with other survivor strongholds. It's not too cool.

In particular, this group of players mentioned that there is likely to be a recyclable controllable fusion battery in this greenhouse.

If that's true, you'll really make a fortune!

……

Players have strong execution.

A motorcade was pulled on the official website. A group stepped on the waste soil time and went online on time at 6 a.m. and surrounded the greenhouse site with a lot of guys.

It's too bad to shoot moths with a gun. When bullets are not extravagant enough to shoot at will, cold weapons with greater trauma and lower cost work better.

A group of people split up and quickly found the structure diagram of the greenhouse, and found some replaceable parts that had not been looted.

The round tube with the thickness of the thumb is probably some kind of solid fuel cell, which can supply power to independent equipment such as gates and fire appliances. The round tube with the thickness of the index finger is probably some kind of fuse used in professional equipment. The specific material is not clear.

Nor is the game as like as two peas.

The cattle and horses team did not participate in the operation. It was the "Canyon mole at large" who had high prestige in the forum.

As soon as everyone heard that he was an unemployed painter, they immediately invited him to the position of commander.

Brother mole also lived up to expectations and soon made a battle plan.

"The whole greenhouse is divided into aboveground part and underground part. The aboveground part has only 5 floors and the underground part has 10 floors. According to unreliable analysis, the location of about 9 floors underground is connected with the paralyzed urban drainage system. I estimate that the devil moth came in from there, and the spirit leaf seeds may also be brought by them!"

"The 10th floor underground should be the location of the standby reactor! The devil moth may have turned it into a mother's nest!"

"According to the description on the design drawing, there is an active closed valve connection between the first greenhouse and the second greenhouse."

"Strategically, we close the valve and cut off the connection between the first layer and other layers, so that the whole first layer is ours!"

[site boy and brick] nods excitedly.

"That's a good idea! Close the door and beat the dog! If you go down one layer at a time, you can definitely hit the mother nest! Aren't those devil silk and materials in our bag!"

[spirit Wang Fugui] coax excitedly.

"Sell to the rich woman rattan!"

A power department player asked.

"What's the problem?"

[Canyon mole] knocked on the map and drew an insert at the end of the passage with a charcoal pen.

"Tactically, we need two tanks at the front, using concrete waste and wood as shelters to block the devil moth out of the passage, followed by two agile chains, and poked out from the gap with a spear! These insects have no brain, they will only rush over in a swarm. If they cooperate better, it should be no problem!"

"That's it!"

With the cooperation of the two forces, players set up simple obstacles along the way in the safe passage leading to the greenhouse site with a temporary shelter made of carpentry.

These obstacles are mainly to facilitate their retreat and not be surrounded by devil moths.

When approaching the exit of the passage, the two forces threw sacks containing concrete fragments on the ground and built temporary fortifications with wood sent in from the back.

The interlaced wood is like a net layer by layer, supported by several main beams, locking the whole half meter wide space tightly. It took two hours to complete the work.

These moths are as long as arms, and the small ones also have half arms. There is no need to worry about the holes they leave.

"Everybody get ready, I'm going to pull a monster!"

With that, a power player took a burning bottle from his waist, stretched out of the bunker to light it, and threw it out towards the open space in the greenhouse.

The bottle cracked with a snap.

The flame rose with a stab and immediately attracted the devil moths lying on the wall.

There were no combustibles around. The fire didn't burn for long and soon went out.

But then these aliens found "dazzling" heat sources hidden behind the simple barricade.

There was a sour rubbing sound.

A moth smashed like a bullet and hit the wooden shelter, making a squeaking sound on the thick stick of its arm.

The two sides collided solidly!

"Shit! These moths are so powerful!"

"Hurry up! I can't hold on! Gan!"

"It's moving, it's moving! Bear it!"

The agile players squatting behind did not hesitate. They immediately stabbed the spear in their hands, took it back, stabbed it again, and repeated the simple and original piston movement.

Although not every shot can accurately pierce anything, if you poke such a random gun, you can always stab two unlucky people to death.

Originally, the advantage of the devil moth was not defense. Its soft abdomen was like paper paste. A spear poked down, and a large lump of wet on the spear head was hung with insect blood, intestines and cilia rubbed off its wings.

"Fuck, is this over?!"

"You use some force!"

"Gan! I'm trying harder, but it's too much!"

"I can't stand it! Stop poking and give me a hand -"

However, the unlucky boy's words were only half finished. The fortification made of wood was like a dam that broke the embankment and was washed away by the tide of insects.

Even if the player of the power system can't hold it anymore, the bunker can't hold it.

The wood was torn apart by the bite.

Soon, so did bones and flesh.

The four little players haven't even turned back. The connection with the clone was instantly disconnected and rolled back to ob on the official website.

As there was no chance to retreat, the roadblocks they left along the way were completely useless.

The passage echoed with short moans and deafening wings.

Several players guarding the entrance of the channel exchanged their sight and looked at each other.

"Give it away so soon?"

"I don't know... But I think it's gone when I listen to the voice."

The first trial ended in failure.

However, these players did not give up. Instead, they became more frustrated and brave, and soon began the second round of action.

This time, the front row became three power system players, followed by two power system Mengxin as substitutes, responsible for repairing the bunker and replacing the exhausted players in the front row.

Further to the back row are three players from the agility department, each carrying four spears, and one player from the physique department, carrying the "Hellfire 0.3" of goblin technology, pressed the array behind.

This thing is sponsored by mosquitoes for free. They don't charge money. Just go back to the official website and write a use experience.

It is said that this version of Hellfire is equipped with a tempering valve, and there will be no more flame burning back along the fuel.

However, even if it is a mosquito who swears how fierce this guy is, he can't guarantee that there will be no other accidents.

How else is it a trial product?

It's all free. What else do you want?

In a word, the things produced by goblin technology can't be used if they can't be used. They must not be used unless they have to. This is also the instruction of the front-line commander, brother mole, to the soldiers.

The nine players were finally ready and headed for the channel together. The crowded formation filled the road jam.

They are completely against these moths and will not stop until they find the field back.

However, judging from the current war situation, the progress does not seem optimistic.

These moths seem to be endless. They rush over one wave after another.

In the end, the nine member team couldn't stand it. They had to use goblin technology. Barely before the flamethrower blew up, everyone withdrew and temporarily closed the entrance of the safe passage.

The battle was deadlocked from the morning to the evening. Counting the team that went in and destroyed before, the players paid the price of four deaths and two injuries.

The first layer of the devil moth, probably dead hundreds, or even more.

As for the specific number, it is not clear. After all, in this case, there is no way to count the war results, which can only be estimated by feeling.

The war damage ratio is 4:100 +, which can be said to be very strong. Ordinary survivors, let alone facing such monsters, can hardly even have the courage to enter the nest.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no booty today, only a wave of effective power opposite

Looking at the early weather, the players who hit a nose of ashes can only wait for tomorrow, even if they are unwilling.

For the result of "4 deaths and 2 injuries", Chu Guang of the whole ob was completely expected and didn't pay special attention to it.

A few days ago, we won a complete victory over the predators. The players are more or less floating. It's not a bad thing to lose some money.

Fire attack is a good idea, but quantity is a problem, and hunting is different from war. The former needs to save materials.

Maybe you can try smoking next time?

As the cost of growth, a small number of casualties are completely acceptable to Chu Guang. Anyway, as long as VM is picked up, it's not too bad.

In particular, Chu Guang recently found that gnawing eaters can also extract active substances.

Although the amount is poor, one can only provide 0.1 ~ 0.2 units, and the waste discharged is useless. It can only be thrown into the septic tank as biological waste, but it's better than none.

It's not hard to kill a gnawing eater.

As long as it is not encountered in the narrow terrain such as subway and ruins, even Mengxin team can easily kill several by relying on kite playing.

So far, more than 70% of the 100 new players have reached LV1, and the highest ranking old players have even reached lv6. They are almost touching their tail lights.

The "manager" sequence held by Chu Guang has been developed to 9%. In game terms, it is Lv9, and it is only a little short of lv10.

Maybe you can command another battle, or follow the players' experience, and maybe you'll break through.

It's really rare for a force leader who is not only smart but also brave like himself to be a survivor stronghold outside the barbarian tribe.

A little pride is not too much.

Chu Guang, who was patrolling the industrial zone with a sledgehammer on his back, thought so.

Just then, brother Levin of No. 81 steel plant suddenly trotted towards him.

The little player blushed like a stove. He didn't know whether it was blown by the northwest wind or out of his respect and worship.

"Dear manager, I have an important thing to report to you!"

Stop and look at him, Chu Guang said.

"Say."

Brother Levin clenched his fists excitedly and took a deep breath.

"Your customized armor!"

"We have finished!"
