Chapter 1280 (1/2)

Facts have proved that Hong zewei's choice is correct.

The second week after the discovery of the Corruptor's nest at mine 071, more than 500 starring Marines stationed nearby had to give up their base of operations and evacuate from the vicinity of mine 071.

These insects are very smart, know that from the tunnel upward arch is equivalent to using their heads to hit the starring Marines' muzzle, so they use the devil bug to leave the tunnel, go around the side of the operation base, and launch a surprise attack on the base.

If the expeditionary had not been monitoring the life signals in the area near the 071 mining site, had these insects climbed to a depth of five kilometers below the ground and found out the situation in time, and informed the garrison in the base to withdraw the encirclement circle of the Corruptors in time, they might have been out of their reach.

Fortunately, the Corruptors were not as sensitive to sound waves as the devil bug, and 500 soldiers and the engineering team stationed there were able to withdraw the colony from the base of operations.

Also brought back to the base were specimens captured from the tunnel.

Although it is not easy, but the star ring Marine Corps soldiers still try to get a few.

In addition to more than a dozen intact specimens, they also got four larvae!

The four larvae were a surprise for the specimen poor Martian colonies.

The larvae of the four Corruptors were stored in different large glass cages in separate isolation chambers.

The small one is the palm of an adult, and the largest one is almost equivalent to a washbasin. They're like miniature Corruptors, except they don't spit venom. Unlike the devil bug larvae, their small size does not weaken their aggressiveness, and even makes them more dangerous and lethal!

The researchers tried to put a bull and it in a glass enclosure at the same time. In less than a second, the bull was caught in its head by the predator larva and pierced its head with its tail. In the course of eating, the Corruptor's larvae showed amazing digestive capacity, eating off half of the cattle in just three days.

In these three days, its volume almost doubled, from the size of the palm to half a meter high. It can spray a small amount of corrosive acid from its mouth.

If the organic matter is abundant, it will grow to the size of the Corruptors in less than half a month.

”A child can give birth to 20, each as big as a washbasin God, can you imagine that? This thing can grow so big in adulthood The researcher in white coat shook his head. ”The experimental environment here is too simple. We must send the specimen back to the star city for research.”

”How long does it take for them to grow up?” Looking at the restless little guy in the glass cover, Hong zewei frowned.

”I don't know,” the researcher shook his head and looked at the bull skeleton in the glass cover. ”This one can't be used as a reference. There shouldn't be so much organic matter underground for them to develop. The growth rate of aerobic bacteria in sample No. 3 is only about one tenth of that. ”

”How many bugs are there in this damn desert?” Hong zewei scolded fiercely.

”I don't know if you noticed,” the researcher said after pondering for a moment, ”every time we get into new trouble, it's because of the 071 mine I'm very curious about what is buried under mine 071. ”

Hong zewei was slightly stunned. Then he frowned and fell into meditation.

At this moment, however, the sound of an alarm broadcast on the wall interrupted his meditation.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the broadcast on the wall. Hong zewei immediately rushed to the door of the Research Institute.

……

The alarm rang through the colony cabin and the colony was boiling.

At this moment, the starring Marines showed their fighting qualities. In less than half a minute, the dressed soldiers rushed into the front door from the corridor, opened the storage box, took out their equipment and hung it on the exoskeleton.

The clip is inserted, and Zhang Hai loads the Gauss Rifle in his hand.

”What happened outside?” The white woman with Wavy Curls stepped forward, tried to stop Zhang Hai, and asked in broken Chinese, ”is there anything else besides the devil bug? Or you won't build walls... ”

”No comment.” Coldly, Zhang Hai buttoned up the last button of the tactical helmet, reached out and pushed the American away, and trotted toward the buffer cabin with his rifle in his hand.

The woman wanted to say something more, but she was caught by braith, who was standing next to her.
