 Chapter 195 The most unlucky episode of the Apocalypse miners

  Hidden in the energy mine is Bai You's trump card to deal with a large number of ordinary enemies - the walking beetle.

  The structure of this mechanical creature is extremely simple, and the materials required are just ordinary active metals, and the defense is not outstanding.

  But the walking beetle has a fatal characteristic.

  Parasitism.

  They can actively enter the enemy's flesh and control the human nerves, thereby affecting their movements.

  Moreover, the walking beetle, a mechanical creature, does not rely on the host to survive.

  After the host dies, it can still choose to change the host or manipulate the host's dead body to continue to move.

  Before entering the host's body, the walking beetle is very fragile, and only a round of ordinary firepower can turn them back to the appearance of active metal.

  It's a pity that these contractors of the Apocalypse Paradise are obsessed with mining and have not discovered the danger hidden in the ore.

  "Wow, the quality of this energy ore is too good, rich!"

  A miner dropped the pick in his hand, picked up a piece of bright yellow beautiful ore, and was intoxicated.

  Others around him looked at this lucky guy with envy. This piece of ore alone can be sold for nearly two thousand Paradise Coins.

  "What are you doing? I dug this..." The lucky boy looked around vigilantly and held the ore in his arms.

  "Tsk, who cares? There must be something better underneath!"

  Everyone retracted their gazes and continued to mine this energy mineral.

  The lucky boy gently wiped the ore again and was about to put it into a special box for safekeeping.

  Suddenly, a metal foot pierced the surface of the ore and went straight through the back of the lucky boy's hand.

  The sudden pain made the lucky boy scream, but the unhappiness just now made everyone too lazy to pay attention to him, and they all rushed to mine the ore. The

  lucky boy didn't take this sudden situation seriously. He stretched out his other hand and touched the painful place, trying to pull out the metal that pierced his palm. It would

  have been better if the lucky boy didn't stretch out his hand. This stretch of his hand seemed to have aroused the interest of the walking beetle in the ore.

  The surface of the ore cracked instantly, and the walking bug jumped out of it, stretching out its multi-segmented metal legs, and unexpectedly stuck his arm like a hairpin.

  Lucky Boy finally realized that something was wrong. The thing on his arm was not an ordinary metal thorn, but a mechanical life that would actively attack humans.

  At this time, the leg segments that stuck to Lucky Boy's arm pierced into his flesh fiercely, and in an instant, his flesh and blood were blurred.

  Lucky Boy was in so much pain that he was about to call out loudly, wanting someone to help him.

  He tried to open his mouth and roared forward.

  Strangely, he didn't make any big noise. The roar was extremely weak and hoarse, and almost no one could hear it except himself.

  "Help..."

  The walking bug was not polite to him. It pulled out the metal legs that had pierced into Lucky Boy's body, and its whole body jumped up like a spring.

  "No, no..."

  Lucky Boy looked at the terrifying walking bug at his mouth and was so scared that he almost lost consciousness.

  The walking beetle used its legs to prop open the mouth of the lucky boy, and then slowly squeezed its body in...

  The lucky boy's eyes were wide open, and they were full of bloodshot. He wanted to get away from this metal monster, but his body had no strength at all.

  "This, this monster's legs are poisonous..."

  This was the last thought of the lucky boy.

  After that, his mouth was squeezed open by the huge walking beetle, and his eyeballs also burst out due to the squeezing force.

  A few seconds later, the battered body of the lucky boy slowly stood up and walked towards the people who were mining in front.   

  Suddenly, he opened his mouth and emitted a sound wave that ordinary people could hardly hear.

  "Woo woo..."

  As if receiving some order, many metal thorns instantly pierced out of the energy vein, and then the ore cracked, and countless walking beetles appeared.

  "Damn, what the hell is this thing, it looks so disgusting!"

  The appearance of the walking beetle made the miners of Apocalypse panic, and they all waved their mining tools in their hands.

  "Hey, captain, what are you doing? Don't, don't come over!"

  "Brother, don't you recognize me? What are you doing..."

  Among the miners, several people had already been quietly parasitized by the walking beetle, and their words and actions were no longer under their control.

  The parasites opened their mouths to an incredible extent, and at the same time, a colorless gas was exhaled.

  "It stinks..." The miners were in chaos, pinching their noses to endure the stench, and fighting against the walking beetles and the parasites.

  But in this stench, gradually, their body functions declined a lot, and their movements gradually slowed down.

  "There's something wrong with these strange things. Hurry, get out of here!" A shrewd contractor discovered the clue and hurriedly asked everyone to leave.

  However, in this foul smell, most people moved slowly. Only a few people who were strong or had life-saving props barely escaped.

  "Quick, go and inform the leader, this, this mine is poisonous!"

  ...

  Near the ruins of the Carta base, in the Dawn Paradise base camp, the trainer was combing the hair of his white beast.

  The fire caused by the explosion of thermite burned the white beast that looked like a snow leopard, and its white hair was mostly destroyed.

  But at this moment, the trainer received a message, and couldn't help but tighten his hand and hold the newly grown hair.

  "What? You said the mining team was wiped out? What's going on!" The trainer pulled hard and pulled out a handful of hair.

  The snow leopard felt pain, looked at his master with resentment, and then quickly jumped away from the trainer.

  "Don't worry, Captain. It is said that they were attacked by a kind of mechanical life. I have asked the nearby IMC soldiers to suppress them."

  The trainer was not immediately relieved. He continued to ask about the specific characteristics of the mechanical life, and the information about its weaknesses.

  "I don't know, Captain. The survivors now are the ones who run the fastest. They have hardly ever fought with mechanical life."

  The younger brother who was asking for information spread his hands, indicating that he did not know.

  "You don't know anything, and you just sent someone there?"

  The trainer was unsure. He had some PTSD when he heard about mechanical life, and was afraid that Bai You would plot against him again.

  "Don't worry, Captain. I asked a sniper to try it from a distance. That thing is very fragile. One shot will kill it."

  "Really?"

  "Of course, the sniper is over there. I'll call him for you."

  The trainer was a little suspicious, but the younger brother had been following him for a long time, and what he said was true, and he didn't seem to be lying.

  "Forget it, no need. I don't have time to waste here."

  The trainer no longer doubted it. Maybe Bai You just discovered the movement of the Apocalypse miners digging a tunnel and killed them casually.

  "I hope the passage hasn't been destroyed by him..." The beast trainer waved his hand and called a team of scouts to investigate the situation.
