Machine Wars : Full Metal Storm

Mid-spring and February are the season of the Waking of Insects.

It is supposed to be the season when "all the insects are hiding and the grass and trees are spreading freely", but the earth is lifeless and lifeless.

On a desolate street, a sewer manhole cover came loose for a moment, and then was lifted and moved away by a hand.

Luo Yan poked half of his head out of the well mouth and looked around cautiously.

As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls, ruins and rubble.

It was once a city with bustling traffic and constant flow.

Nowadays, there is no more noise and no trace of prosperity.

Only dust, paper, blood stains and dead bones are left floating everywhere.

There were dust and stains everywhere, and there was an atmosphere of decay and heaviness.

This is the third year after the ‘behemoth disaster’ passed.

When those huge unknown creatures that fell from the sky appeared in the world, in less than half a year, the world went to destruction and order was lost.

Those who survived lived in hell from then on.

Woo.

got windy.

The wind blew Luo Yan's dark hair, and he quickly climbed out of the well and closed the lid.

Under the cover, there is a rope tied with non-slip knots, which is constantly swaying in the wind.

Luo Yan's clothes were in tatters, covered in dirt, and he had a strong pocket hanging from his waist.

All parts of his body that would be exposed to the air were tied with circles of tarpaulin.

Only a pair of red eyes were exposed.

At this time, thunder rumbled in the sky.

It's raining.

Luo Yan likes rainy days, as rain can dilute his smell.

Luo Yan also hates rainy days. Rainwater can cause a large amount of a toxin called 'kuva' to accumulate, increasing the chance of infection and aggravating the condition.

‘Kuva’ is brought by those life forms known as ‘behemoths’.

When the blood of the giant beast comes into contact with the air, this toxin will be spread.

It causes irregular red spots to appear on the surface of people's bodies and makes the patient's eyes turn red.

When the red color spreads across the entire pupil, it means that the patient is not far from death.

Just like Luo Yan.

The redness in his eyes has almost taken over his pupils.

Wow.

The rain washed the earth, stirring up a muddy smell.

Luo Yan had already pulled down the diving goggles on his head to protect his eyes.

He also put on a waterproof helmet, which made him 'invulnerable to all poisons'.

Next, Luo Yan walked skillfully through the streets and alleys.

Passed by a dilapidated hot pot restaurant and walked past a collapsed movie theater.

Suddenly his eyes burned and he stopped quickly.

At this moment, Luo Yan's eyes became blank, as if he had lost focus.

In his sight, the street scene suddenly became a little dark.

He saw a few groups of gray lights walking forward at the intersection ahead, and would soon appear and enter the intersection.

This magical 'vision' appeared after the 'behemoth disaster' occurred.

Before the disaster struck, Luo Yan bought an ancient book titled "Building Yuan Jue" online.

According to the seller, this is a treasure he dug up from an ancient tomb at the risk of death.

It is a lost cultivation method.

It is a technique of visualization.

Luo Yan was once obsessed with these things.

After I bought it, I actually practiced according to the contents in the ancient book.

But it has no effect.

But after the 'Giant Beast Disaster', Luo Yan clearly felt that this so-called 'visualization technique' began to work.

Every time he practiced, he could feel a little bit of warmth pouring into his body, and soon after, waves of warmth rushed to the top of his head.

It didn't take long for him to discover that he could sometimes see some visions.

He can see the gray light emitted by humans, giant parasites, giant beasts and other creatures.

Just like now, he can always detect danger in advance.

Luo Yan immediately slowed down his steps and silently retracted into the trunk of a car next to him.

Only a gap remains.

After a while, some creatures as big as wolves and dogs passed by.

It looks like a tick, has a wolf-like head, a pointed head and palate, and a protruding nose.

Four or five of these things passed by on the nearby streets. They stopped from time to time and looked around.

Very alert.

This is the wolf tick, one of the parasites of the giant beast.

In the past two years or so, Luo Yan has dealt with them many times.

It is clear that these things have sensitive hearing and move when they smell fishy smell.

They are good at sucking blood, are ferocious and cruel, and live in groups, rarely being alone.

Luo Yan was not surprised at all when he encountered a wolf tick.

Because deep in the city, in the area where the city center once was, there is a giant beast dormant.

A living beast!

It has a sheep face and human body, tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like the cry of a baby.

Whenever you hear a baby crying at night, it is the cry of this giant beast.

It has used the cries of babies to lure prey to its bait on more than one occasion.

In the trunk of the car, after all the wolf ticks were gone, Luo Yan left carefully.

It didn't take long.

He climbed out of a vent.

At the other end of the vent is a supermarket.

Large areas of the supermarket collapsed, but the food section miraculously survived.

So that became Luo Yan’s ‘secret granary’.

Just because the only way in and out was the supermarket's exhaust pipe, Luo Yan couldn't bring out too much food at one time.

He didn't want to either.

Because that will arouse suspicion, attract attention, and bring death to yourself.

There will be no police to maintain order now.

If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

At this time, Luo Yan's pocket already contained seven or eight individually packaged bread and ham sausages.

Even though these items have expired, they can still be eaten thanks to preservatives.

As for whether you will get sick after eating it, no one cares about that now.

As long as you have something to eat!

When I went back, the rain stopped.

Luo Yan's steps were also a little brisk.

These breads and ham sausages are enough for him to eat for a week.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt satisfied and happy.

Unfortunately, happiness comes and goes quickly.

When Luo Yan came to the intersection where he found the wolf tick, his eyes felt slightly burning again.

Then I saw a human-shaped, gray light and shadow appearing in a nearby bus with its roof collapsed.

Luo Yan made a quick decision, turned around and ran away.

"Damn, this kid is quite smart." Someone cursed in the bus, and then a strong man rushed out.

He has a burly body, and his hands and face are covered with hideous scars.

He immediately whistled.

In front of an Internet cafe with an unknown door, two more men ran out.

Either he held a knife or a stick in his hand.

All are armed.

Three men blocked Luo Yan's path.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and took out an automatic pistol from the back of his waist.

Open the safety and pull the bolt to load the bullet.

Slightly arching his body, Luo Yan made a standard shooting action and backed away slowly.

"No, no, no, no, peace brings wealth."

The strong man who was obviously the leader raised his hands and tried his best to smile: "I've heard that little brother Luo is very knowledgeable. You can clearly feel where there is food and medicine."

"Don't worry, my brothers know the rules and won't ask where those places are."

"You see, the three of us have been hungry for several days. Looking at Brother Luo's bulging pockets, we must have gained a lot."

"How about this, you share some food between the three of us."

"From now on, among our brothers, only brother Luo will follow suit!"

While the strong man was talking, the other two men walked up behind the strong man intentionally or unintentionally.

One of the horse-faced men quietly took out a pistol.

It turned out that he wanted to use the strong man's cover to kill Luo Yan by surprise.

But this time.

A cold glint suddenly appeared in Luo Yan's eyes.

The strong man immediately knew something was wrong and shouted to get down.

boom!

Gunshots rang out.

Even though he was holding the handle of the gun tightly with both hands, Luo Yan's arms still flew up into the air uncontrollably. He felt as if his hands were about to leave him!

However, this shot left a bullet hole in the horse-faced man's forehead and the back of his head completely exploded.

Blood, brains, and hairy scalps splashed all over the faces of the companions behind.

The man suddenly became incontinent.

Luo Yan moved his legs and ran away.

Rush towards the sewer entrance where you came from.

At this time, the strong man got up, first went to pick up the gun that the horse-faced man dropped on the ground, and then pushed the remaining companions: "Hurry up and feed me, do you want anything to eat?"

The man just woke up from a dream, wiped the blood from his face, and chased after the strong man.

The strong man fired.

Unfortunately, his marksmanship was too poor and he failed to hit Luo Yan.

Luo Yan had already rushed to the sewer entrance.

Drill in immediately.

And he grabbed the rope tied to the manhole cover.

Use your own body weight to pull down!

The lid closes.

The strong man cursed and ran to the side, threw away his pistol, and was about to open the manhole cover.

Sudden.

He heard a strange noise.

swish swish -

His expression changed, and when he turned around, he saw four or five wolf ticks flying towards him.

Those things have eight legs and run very fast.

The strong man's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Brother Luo, please remove the manhole cover quickly and let us go down."

"We were wrong."

"We shouldn't try to trick you."

"Your Majesty, you don't care about the villain's mistakes, just give us a way to survive!"

Under the manhole cover, Luo Yan's eyes were calm and calm.

As if he didn't hear the strong man's words, he still held on to the rope tightly.

Moreover, he turned over and stood on his head, with his legs firmly planted on both sides of the manhole cover.

Use all your strength to pull the lid tightly to prevent it from opening.

soon.

There were screams, curses, and gunfire from above.

But these sounds soon disappeared.

All that was left was the sound of gurgling water.

Luo Yan knew that those wolf ticks were sucking the blood of the two men.

Even if the shot just now didn't kill Ma Lian, it doesn't matter.

Luo Yan shot mainly to attract the wolf ticks.

Those things will never be able to hide anything happening nearby.

And when they smell blood, they will go crazy, lose their minds, and instinctively attack their prey.

As long as the wolf tick is attracted, those two men will have no luck!

After a while, the rainwater flowing from the drainage hole of the manhole cover gradually mixed with a trace of blood.

It wasn't until there was no more movement from above that Luo Yan loosened the rope and climbed the ladder from the well to the ground.

Luo Yan took out a flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, and walked forward.

After walking a long way, we came to the surface through another exit.

He also needs to go to the drugstore.

He needs to find some painkillers, otherwise it will be quite difficult for him if the Kuva attacks.

On the way to the destination, the ground suddenly shook.

It seems like a giant beast is traveling!

Luo Yan quickly hid in a shoe store.

After a while, he didn't see the giant beast.

But I saw a motorcade!

In that convoy, there were three heavy-duty trucks that could be called "monsters". The carriages were almost as big as a building, and I didn't know what was inside.

Each wheel is almost as tall as Luo Yan, and you have to climb a nearly two-meter ladder to enter the cab.

The vibrations on the ground are mainly caused by them.

In addition to these three 'monster' level heavy trucks, there are also several armored vehicles with antennas and radars on their roofs.

But more of them are off-road vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.

This is an army!

Luo Yan couldn't help but get excited.

There is an army, which means there is organization.

With organization, there may be an antidote to Kuva!

Luo Yan, I never want to die!

And he knew that there was not much time left for him.

He might live for half a year.

Even shorter!

The motorcade rumbled past.

An armored vehicle with huge metal rams opens the way.

Take the car behind and drive deeper into the city.

Luo Yan quickly followed.

Fortunately, this metropolis, which was once nicknamed the "Flower City", is now full of obstacles, making the passage of convoys very slow.

Otherwise, Luo Yan doubted whether he could keep up.

Judging from the direction of travel of the convoy.

Luo Yan boldly speculated that they were going to the city center, to the area of ​​'Galaxy Stadium'!

But there are giant beasts lurking there.

What are these people doing there?

Is it to annihilate the giant beast?

This made Luo Yan a little unbelievable.

After the ‘behemoth disaster’, the survivors of Huacheng hid underground.

The giant beast with a goat's face and a human body has built a nest in the Galaxy Stadium, but as long as you don't get close to that area, you'll be fine.

certainly.

The threat in the city isn't just the beast.

There are also various parasites spread by the giant beasts in the city.

Even so, the survivors still didn't want to leave the city.

Because the situation is even worse outside the city.

In the current lack of long-distance transportation, if you encounter a giant beast parasite outside the city, or simply run into a giant beast.

The probability of survival will be infinitely close to zero.

Luo Yan shook his head to concentrate more.

He used his "magical vision" to capture the gray light group representing life and followed the convoy from a distance.

At this time, he saw dense gray light groups appearing on the left side of the street ahead.

A swarm of giant parasites!

Suddenly, a question came to Luo Yan's mind: to follow or not to follow?

If you follow, you may die, but you have a chance to get the antidote.

If you don't follow, just retreat and you can live in peace for a while.

Almost instantly.

Luo Yan already has the answer.

"There is no ravine before the tiger's eyes!"

His eyes were firm, and instead of stopping, he accelerated his pace.

When the distance between the convoy and the convoy was reduced by half, gunshots suddenly rang out!

Bang bang bang bang.

The powerful gunshot made Luo Yan's eyes gleam and he immediately fell to the ground.

Then he saw.

Countless parasites emerged from the streets, from the gaps and doors and windows of buildings, and from under the chassis of cars.

They gathered into a black wave and hit the convoy.

The anti-aircraft machine guns on the off-road vehicles in the convoy roared and roared.

The smell of gunpowder immediately filled the air.

The black wave was hindered, and bugs kept flying into the air with bullets, blasting them into pieces.

At this time, some parasites that looked like mites but had human faces on their bodies jumped crazily onto those 'monster' trucks.

They are 'human-faced mites', a type of giant parasite.

These things are very stubborn.

Once they have entangled their prey, they will 'settlement' and use their sharp and barbed legs to secure themselves to the target's body.

Then an incredibly powerful biological acid will be released, which can melt a large living person in about 10 seconds.

Now, a large number of 'human-faced mites' are living on the carriages of heavy trucks.

These bugs, which are the size of washbasins, quickly release biological acids that melt the car body.

but.

The team clearly has a targeted approach.

A cloud of smoke suddenly shot out from around the heavy truck compartments.

After the smoke evaporated, the insects clinging to the car froze and fell off.

Luo Yan took a breath when he saw it.

Fortunately, he was not reckless, otherwise he would be the one frozen into ice now.

Sudden.

Luo Yan saw that the body of a heavy truck at the rear of the convoy had been melted to create an irregular gap!

The surrounding insect swarms are almost extinct!

The opportunity has come.

Luo Yan patiently suppressed his impulse until two off-road vehicles near the truck cleaned up the remaining bugs.

When he rushed to the front of the convoy to support, Luo Yancai rushed out!

He passed by insect corpses on the ground and came to the side of the slowly moving truck.

Jump hard.

He grabbed onto the crash barrier, which was two meters above the ground.

Climbed up.

Just when he was about to climb into the gap.

Suddenly.

A black shadow jumped over on the ground.

It's a human-faced mite!

Luo Yan could see the thing's soft, sponge-like abdomen.

I saw it dancing crazily with seven or eight legs.

A cold light flashed in Luo Yan's red pupils.

He struggled to throw the dagger away.

The dagger turned into a black line and stabbed into the soft abdomen of the human-faced mite, causing it to fall to the ground with a squeak.

Luo Yan didn't dare to relax, so he climbed up quickly and got into the carriage through the gap.

The moment he entered the carriage, his eyes suddenly blurred, and some blurry lights and shadows flashed across his eyes.

The heart is beating fast.

Gives rise to some strange feelings.

This made Luo Yan fall down all of a sudden.

Fortunately, there was no one in the carriage.

Otherwise, the movement alone would be enough to attract attention.

He quickly raised his head and observed the carriage.

The space in the carriage is incredibly large.

There is a huge thing in front of it, covered with tarpaulin and fixed with ropes to prevent it from flying over.

Luo Yan quickly hid it.

I was just glad that I had succeeded, but at this moment, a piercing alarm sounded in the carriage.

Luo Yan thought he had been discovered.

unexpectedly.

The broadcast in the carriage sounded at the same time: "Attention! Attention! It has been detected that the space shock wave can reach the critical point!"

"The 'Yamfu Space' will open in three seconds."

"Three, two, one..."

"The Yanfu space is opened!"

"The beast is about to be released!"

"Enter level one combat readiness state!"

"All mecha carrying bays deploy."

"The mecha is ready to start!"
