I Am the Swarm

In the dark night, the two-meter-high grass was blown by the breeze, making a rustling sound. The grass is so dense that it would be difficult for people three meters away to find it without guidance.

The patrol team didn't feel anything when they were chatting and spanking just now, but they calmed down now, looking at the deep and dark surroundings, with waves of inexplicable fear sending chills down their spines.

"Captain, Kendall is still alive, and the monitor shows that he still has signs of life." Gade's voice suddenly came from the communicator.

The wristbands worn on the hands of the players can monitor the pulse of the players in real time and transmit the information to the monitoring terminal. And each team has an information scout carrying a monitoring terminal to check the vital signs of the team members.

At a distance of more than 300 meters, under the command of the drone, the six-member team finally came to Kendall's side.

The combat uniform is sealed, and Kendall's condition cannot be seen clearly from the outside. The captain stepped forward, turned Kendall over, and pressed a button on the side of his helmet, and the inside of the helmet shimmered, revealing Kendall's terrified face.

"Kendall, what's wrong with you?" the captain asked.

But Kendall didn't answer, just stared with terrified eyes.

Because the Rickon tribe cannot be exposed to the environment of Daqixing, the captain did not dare to take off his helmet to check the situation directly, so he could only pat his helmet and continued to ask a few more questions.

But still no answer.

"Gade, Kendall doesn't know what's going on, call the headquarters for transportation support, we can't carry him back."

"Got it, ah!"

"Gad what's wrong with you?"

"MD, I was stabbed by something, it hurts me to death!" Gade muttered from the communicator.

"Are you kidding? Quickly check the combat uniform for damage." The captain roared, the combat uniform was sealed, and it still hurts after being pricked. Maybe it's because the combat uniform is torn.

"Huh? What's the matter with you two?" Gade's doubtful voice came from the communicator.

"What happened!?"

"..." There was no reply from Gade.

"Ged? Bablin? Sig? Received the answer! What's the matter with you?" The captain called one by one, but there was still no movement on the other side.

"Fuck!" the captain cursed angrily, "Take Kendall up, let's go back and have a look." After speaking, out of caution, he took out a flare gun from his back waist and fired a flare into the sky.

Hot white light exploded in the sky, illuminating this area as bright as day. This is both a lighting and an alarm. Although he has not confirmed the situation, he would rather be punished afterwards than continue to take risks in this dark night.

If he ever found out what these brats were up to, he'd have to shove the flare gun up their asses.

"Corporal Al Qaeda, what's the matter with you?" The flares were too conspicuous at night, and immediately attracted the attention of the regional command center, and inquiries followed.

"Sir, one member of our team has an unknown situation and cannot move, and three members have lost contact. I am going to check it out. To be on the safe side, I chose early warning." Captain Al Qaeda replied, leading the team back rush to.

The distance of 300 meters was approaching in an instant. The captain pushed through the grass and saw three people lying on the grass. They behaved exactly like Kendall. Although they were still alive, they all stared with big eyes in horror.

This is absolutely not normal.

It happened that the call with the regional command center was still connected just now, and he hurriedly reported: "Sir, four people in my team have the same symptoms. Although they have vital signs, they can't move or speak. One of them said before that Was stabbed by something, suspected to be attacked."

"Corporal Al Qaeda, stand by and stay alert. Medical assistance will arrive within five minutes." The other side quickly replied.

Hearing that the rescue was coming soon, Captain Al-Qaeda breathed a sigh of relief. Nearly half of the team members had problems. This time, they will have to recuperate for a few days before coming out. This damn alien planet is really not a place for people to stay, and he regrets signing up for this expedition.

"Captain, be careful!" Just as Al Qaeda's thoughts were flying, a team member suddenly shouted from behind. Good combat quality, let him make tactical evasion actions immediately.

But as soon as he made a move, he felt that his limbs were quickly paralyzed, and his evasive movements were also deformed, and he fell to the ground. His eyes widened in horror, not knowing what happened and why his body suddenly lost control.

He wanted to open his mouth to ask, but his mouth was also paralyzed and he couldn't speak. He knew what was going on with his players now, but he didn't want to know it this way.

The other team members watched all this in astonishment. Just now, because of the flares in the sky flickering, they saw a transparent object land on Captain Al Qaeda's back. As soon as they sounded a reminder, the captain fell limp to the ground.

They were all new recruits who had never experienced any combat operations. At this juncture, their reactions were two beats slower. It was just a little slow, so that they fell to the ground one by one before they could step forward to check the situation.

Attacking them is a new version of the Spider War Bug, and Rowan has prepared a lot for this war over the years. This kind of bug is a targeted species specially made according to the characteristics of the combat uniforms of the Riken tribe.

Although the Riken people's technology has advanced by leaps and bounds for more than a hundred years, it seems that they have not improved much in terms of combat uniforms. Faced with this kind of protective equipment covering the whole body, Rowan improved the original spider and war insect stinger.

The spider warpworms are added with the gene of the metal snail, and then they will absorb a special mineral solution after hatching, and finally these minerals will form an alloy needle of about one millimeter at the front of the stinger.

With a sting needle that has a pioneer of this millimeter, even the steel plate of the cat-ear spaceship can penetrate two centimeters, let alone these combat clothing.

At the same time, the poison sac of the spider warworm has also been improved. The swarm obtained a lot of experimental materials in the cat-ear spaceship. Just like the Ratman back then, Rowan developed a toxin specifically for the Ricken tribe.

These toxins can quickly spread to the whole body of the target within ten seconds, paralyze the nerve centers of the Riken people, and prevent the transmission of brain nerve signals from spreading in the body. By the time they realize something is wrong, they will have only consciousness, and the body cannot control it. wooden man.

The reason why the spider war worms were not allowed to carry deadly toxins was because Rowan discovered the vital signs monitoring system on the combat uniform on the previously captured cat spaceship.

If the Ricken were killed, they would be exposed immediately, but if they were just paralyzed, this would not happen.

It's a pity that no matter what species there are some strange creatures, Gade of the Al Qaeda team is such a special existence.

After the sting needle pierces the target's skin, the paralyzing toxin will flow out immediately, cutting off the nerve signals around the wound. Ordinary Ricken people can hardly sense that something has been pierced.

But Gade is the type who is extremely sensitive to pain. Even the pain of a mosquito bite will be magnified countless times in his perception.

Therefore, after he was attacked by the stinger, Lima cried out in pain, although the paralyzing toxin was still effective on him. But what he said before still aroused Captain Al Qaeda's vigilance.

Even if the spiders and war bugs immediately made a remedy and attacked the entire patrol team, the sneak attack was still exposed.
