Chapter 62 Tunnel

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong all heard Bai Chen mention the distorted mosquito population, and knew how dangerous this was for unprepared humans:

They are always active in large quantities and are not slow to fly;

They can tolerate high and low temperatures to a certain extent;

They are relatively small and difficult to be hit by bullets. Even if they encounter sharpshooters or their own group distribution is too dense, they will be unafraid of losses because of the large number of bullets and ordinary bombs that a team can carry cannot compare with such mosquito populations;

They usually live on plant juices and long for blood. They have both strong survivability and extremely terrifying aggressiveness;

They have no mind and will not be afraid. Even if the population has lost more than half, they will come one after another for blood;

Their bites come with toxins, which can make people paralyzed and slow thinking with animals;

Compared with undistorted mosquitoes, their mouthparts are longer, harder and sharper, and can penetrate clothing fibers and insert them into the target skin...

For many ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers, this is a tide of hell that can devour life. Once you encounter it, even if there are many people, it is difficult to escape.

Of course, as one of the most vicious creatures on the dust, humans are not unable to fight against such distorted mosquitoes, but all methods have to rely on more special equipment, such as flamethrowers, special mosquito repellent spray guns, "Pangu" "weed bombs", such as a set of biochemical clothing that can even be protected by toxic gases, such as enough incendiary bombs, such as power armor with immature technology, such as, can create large areas of high-temperature areas in the explosion core, from the old world, with a very small number of terrifying bombs...

Unfortunately, there is nothing in these things, the "old tuner group".

However, thankfully, the Jeep they drove was better sealed, and it was impossible for the distorted mosquito group to force it into. Moreover, this car is electric and is not afraid of mosquito group and blocking exhaust pipes and other places. At the same time, the distorted mosquitoes' mouthparts are not strong enough to cause the rubber tire to leak air.

This is indeed good news for Jiang Baimian and others, but there are also bad things:

The ventilation system must either be turned off on its own initiative or wait to be blocked by the distorted mosquito population.

In this way, the air quality in the car will drop rapidly until it cannot be tolerated. Shang Jianyao and others must let the Jeep break out of the "encircle" of the distorted mosquito population before this.

Bai Chen had the experience of facing this terrifying creature. While Qiao Chu issued the order, he closed the car windows and stopped the ventilation system from operating.

While she continued to step down the accelerator, she habitually comforted everyone in the car:

"Don't worry, this aberrant mosquito population will not be far away from a large number of plants. As long as we pass through this vine area, they should give up."

"Left..." Qiao Chuyu nodded and directed the direction of his advance.

Jiang Baimian whispered thoughtfully:

"Even aberrant organisms have the instinct to continue the population, so this mosquito population will not leave a place with a large number of plants... This is the necessary condition for their survival. The blood of humans and animals is just a very attractive delicacy...

"Yes, the old world has been destroyed for so many years, and the aberrant creatures that have not continued their population instincts should have died long ago..."

Qiao Chu ignored Jiang Baimian's contempt and identified the road surface blocked by the blue and black vines more closely than before.

A few seconds later, the driving jeep and the swarm of mosquitoes encountered it.

Slap sex!

The mosquitoes with dark red heads and fingers the size of their fingers were like miniature bombers, hitting the windshield one after another with themselves as bombs.

In Shang Jianyao's eyes, it was like the first heavy rain I saw in Shuiwei Town. Countless drops of water hit the glass desperately.

But unlike rain, these "water droplets" will not slide down and can stop on the glass.

Slap sex!

It was so rapid that it almost formed a rapid sound. Whether it was the windshield or the car windows on both sides, it was filled with giant black mosquitoes. The dark red head and hideous mouth were densely packed, making people feel sour.

Both Bai Chen and Qiao Chu could not see the road ahead. The Jeep was like a wild horse breaking away on the edge of a cliff, and they didn't know where they would run.

Long Yuehong's face turned pale quickly. She wanted to work hard to save herself, but she didn't know what to do, so how to help.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao both became tense, with both worried and a little confused in their expressions - the life-saving instinct and hormone secretion that were running wildly in life and death seemed to make them realize the abnormality of their current situation again.

At this time, Qiao Chu no longer looked ahead and looked down at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

The dial is accompanied by a compass full of marks.

"The direction is at three o'clock and twelve." Qiao Chu seemed to have built a plane map deep in his mind, and then relied on instruments to "manual navigation".

Bai Chen is not unfamiliar with the way the time scale indicates direction, but what she encountered before has never been so specific, so she was a little stunned and immediately reacted and started to turn the steering wheel.

However, when she was full of distorted mosquito groups, she could not drive accurately according to the instructions of "navigation", which must have an error.

Qiao Chu didn't care because he also knew that without auxiliary chips and corresponding genetic modifications, humans without slow speeds, could not do similar things. What he said was so precise that the error was within an acceptable range.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke:

"You can wear an exoskeleton device to drive."

Qiao Chu had seen the military exoskeleton device placed in the trunk before, and nodded after thinking for a moment:

"ASAP."

Normal exoskeleton devices have a small-scale positioning capability, which is often integrated into the "integrated early warning system" to facilitate wearers through auxiliary chips.

"I'll do it." Jiang Baimian volunteered.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong had no objection, so they immediately turned around and dragged the military exoskeleton device from the trunk.

With their help, Jiang Baimian quickly adjusted the length of the metal bones and put on the equipment.

"Okay." She said quickly after the system self-test was completed.

"Stop." Qiao Chu immediately took his eyes off his watch.

Bai Chen stepped on the brake without hesitation.

In the silence, Jeep suddenly stopped. Shang Jianyao and others all had the urge to pounce forward. Fortunately, they were protected by the seat belts, and the windshield was densely covered with windshields. A lot of distorted mosquito groups on the car windows on both sides were thrown out.

As for Jiang Baimian, who does not have a seat belt to wear, this degree of inertia can easily be offset because he is wearing a military exoskeleton device.

As soon as the vehicle stopped, Bai Chen immediately pressed the safety belt, adjusted the gear, and picked up the handbrake.

Then, she climbed from the armrest box to the back row.

Jiang Baimian stretched out his arms covering the black metal bones, picked her up, and placed her directly on Long Yuehong's side.

Then, she followed the "road" that Bai Chen came over and quickly climbed to the driver's seat.

Papa! The dark red distorted mosquitoes on their heads crashed into the glass window again, covering them densely.

Jiang Baimian, who had an energy backpack behind him, couldn't lean back and started the jeep again.

While operating the steering wheel with one hand, she tied herself with a seat belt.

Qiao Chu lowered his head again, distinguished the changes in the compass on the watch, and kept reporting the time directions they needed to go.

With the auxiliary chip, Jiang Baimian operates accurately, and in the harsh environment where black mosquitoes are everywhere, Jeep is almost blindly spreading the swamp and vines are moving through the vines.

In a state of high concentration, the passage of time seemed to become blurred. I don’t know how long it took, when Shang Jianyao and others began to feel short of breath, giant mosquitoes on the front and rear windshields and car windows on both sides flew up one after another.

Soon, all of these distorted creatures left the Jeep and flew backwards like "reluctantly".

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen then saw that there was pure and boundless black mud in front of them. There was no plant growth on their surface, but bubbles sometimes emerged.

"Two:24." Qiao Chu raised his head and no longer paid attention to the changes in the compass on the watch.

After Jiang Baimian turned the steering wheel, everyone in the car saw a downward road.

It slanted into the swamp, with a large dark hole at the end.

"Drive in." Qiao Chu gave the order.

Jiang Baimian, wearing an exoskeleton device, did not hesitate and let the Jeep drive onto the road.

The road surface was black and muddy, and the wheels were trapped a lot, but deeper under the mud seemed to be supported by harder things, which stabilized the heavy Jeep.

The vehicle quickly drove into the hole, and at the same time, Jiang Baimian turned on the ventilation system and the double lights in the front of the car.

Shang Jianyao and others immediately breathed heavily and looked at the surrounding scene through the glass window:

The cave was dark, with only the sound of water droplets ticking to the ground sounding intermittently, and the places illuminated by the lights of the car, the rock walls and the road surface were quite flat, with a certain amount of mud.

"It doesn't seem to be formed naturally." Jiang Baimian commented while driving.

"The underpass tunnel of the old world." Qiao Chu responded simply.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently, thought for a few seconds and said:

"There is no bryophyte, it's a bit weird...

“Its environment was not suitable for organisms before?”

Qiao Chu ignored her and just said calmly:

"Keep forward."

There was no sound in the tunnel, but the vehicle occasionally encountered cracks or bulges on the ground, so there was an intermittent clanging sound here, and it spreads to the depths of the tunnel, without returning.

In this deep and weird quiet, Shang Jianyao and the others spoke, as if they were heading to the end of the world.

After several minutes, light gradually appeared in front of him, and an arched exit was soon formed.

Jiang Baimian, who had his own goggles in the helmet, was not affected by the changes in light and darkness, causing the vehicle to rush out of the tunnel.

The sun outside is already setting in the west, and the setting sun shines on the earth, as if it has a layer of gold.

Not far away, buildings dozens or hundreds of meters high stood one after another, without any movement and no end was visible.

They are bathed in the red sunshine, like a deadly forest made of steel and concrete.
