In the spacious conference room, five soldiers in green uniforms are staring intently at the images on the projection screen. Each of them is an old man over half a hundred years old, and the military uniform at the shoulder level of the military uniform is shaded by two diagonal pine branches.

Huge moths, huge beetles, hideous-looking zombies, "high-level" zombies like mutants......

If you don't know in advance that this is happening at this moment, people in their right mind will think of these images as a promotional film for a new movie. Especially...... In particular, the "starring" in the "film" has a movie to be released recently, and it seems that it will be tomorrow.

- What's wrong with the world? Even bugs can grow so big!

"This is a real-time footage captured by a micro-drone at an altitude of 1,000 meters. At present, our special operations team in Penglai has basically controlled the situation on the spot......"

It was a young girl who gave the lecture to the officers. She has a beautiful appearance and a standard "Internet celebrity face". She was dressed in a slightly tight black tracksuit, with long black hair curled up at the back of her head. She looks youthful, and at first glance she is an energetic sports girl, which is a little out of place with the serious atmosphere in the conference hall.

"This incident is a standard Category 3 intrusion. It has been found that the main body of the invasion is an insect, a centipede-like insect. ”

With the girl's words, a photo appeared on the projection screen.

The photograph shows a long worm crawling out of the neck of a headless corpse. The head of the worm has a pair of protruding compound eyes, under which are a pair of pitch-black tusks, followed by dense large and small legs.

The photo of the long worm appeared on the screen, and the girl in charge of explaining it trembled obviously, and the expression on her face was a little more afraid. She glanced down at the tablet in her hand slightly, and then took a breath of cold air.

“…… The bug burrows into the body through the mouth and occupies the throat first. They then use their feet and limbs to insert into various organs of the body, the nervous system, to control the human body. is a very specific parasite. The girl's hand holding the tablet trembled slightly, "It is known that they will choose the corpse that has just died as a parasitic target, but it is speculated that they will also subdue the living by some means and directly parasitize ...... It is not possible to know how long the entire parasitism process will last. However, it is certain that the host will die after the parasitism is completed. After completing the parasitism, the corpse will be 'resurrected' again, 'resurrected' in the form of a zombie. ”

The girl's words stunned the five soldiers at the same time.

The long worm crawling out of the neck of the headless corpse in the picture is very large, and its appearance is extremely hideous. However, in the eyes of soldiers, long worms are always long worms, and there is no need to be afraid at all. But the "resurrected" zombies......

The girl taps on the tablet, and several photos appear on the screen at the same time. As soon as the photo was displayed, the girl hurriedly helped the tablet put it down, and also held her hands and stepped back.

"This, this ......," the girl's voice trembled slightly, "this is the 'resurrected' zombie." They, they're a little slower than the average adult, but they're a lot more powerful. They attack frantically, biting with their claws and teeth...... However, they don't use instruments, and they don't know how to use simple sticks. ”

The elderly soldier, who had two five-pointed stars in the center and epaulettes, waved his hand, got up slightly, and motioned for the girl to hand him the tablet. The elderly soldier obviously saw that the girl was really afraid, even if it was just a photo.

However, it is normal for older soldiers to feel afraid. Because of the image in the photo, not to mention the girl, even he looked at it with a little rapid heartbeat and sweaty palms. I've been in the army for most of my life, what battle haven't I seen? But these photos in front of me are really terrifying!

- The old men all feel shivering, so don't be embarrassed by the delicate little girl. Bring the tablet, I'll do it myself!

A stiff smile appeared on the girl's face, and then she shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry, sir. There is a lot of secondary confidential information in it, and according to the relevant regulations, it can only be operated by me. And you're not familiar with this aspect of the matter, so let me explain it. ”

“…… All right. Ms. Lin Xiaomiao, please continue. ”

The elderly soldier sat down and motioned for the girl to continue. But after sitting down, there was a little more appreciation in his eyes.

Fear, fear, this is human instinct, and there is no shame. It is shameful to run away because of fear, and to hold back because of fear.

The girl in front of her is very beautiful, and if she only evaluates her appearance, she is not inferior to those stars who often appear on TV. originally thought that she was just a microphone sent by Penglai, a beautiful vase, but I didn't expect her to have the courage to face her fears. This has to be impressive.

Lin Xiaomiao pursed her lips, pinched her hand and clicked on the tablet. The picture on the projection screen changed again, and the big moth and the ghost-faced butterfly were still in sight.

"This centipede-like long worm, Penglai temporarily named it 'parasitic worker worm', which is the 'lowest level insect' of the third category of invasion this time. They have no special abilities other than being able to parasitize and move through their parasitic bodies. According to fifteen:36, that is, the information just obtained three minutes ago. The Adventists have succeeded in slaying their 'King Worms'. Judging from the appearance and shape, there is no obvious difference between king insects and worker insects. However, if you want to subdivide it, the feet and limbs at the lower end of the insect teeth on the head of the king worm are thicker and denser. I didn't find any special distinction in other aspects......"

Lin Xiaomiao paused slightly.

"Zombies are not a big threat, whether it is a firearm or a cold weapon, as long as it hits the torso of the worker itself, it can severely damage them. According to the records of similar invasions in Penglai, the information that has been collected in the actual battles so far is the most effective direct attack on the neck and throat. ”

There are slightly more photos on the projection screen, and the result of each one is that the photo has become smaller. As soon as the photo became smaller, the insects in the photo also became smaller, and Lin Xiaomiao's frowning brows were all soothed.

"In contrast, this giant moth-like insect requires special attention. At present, there are two types of moths that appear at the scene, one is a giant moth with a body length of about one meter and a wingspan of more than three meters. The other is 30 centimeters long and has a wingspan of about 1 meter. Presumably, the former is the 'adult' of the latter. Adult moths use a ...... called 'Psychic Shock' Magic tricks. This magic technique is a direct attack on the brain with invisible spirit waves, ignoring any armor, and is extremely lethal. ”

Thinking that the elderly soldier raised his hand, he asked in a skeptical tone, "Magic skills?" ”

“…… Yes, magic tricks. ”

"Invisible spirit waves? Not some infrasound weapon, or an air cannon or something? ”

"This ......" Lin Xiaomiao took out her mobile phone, quickly operated it on her mobile phone, and then nodded, "Confirm, it's not an infrasound weapon or an air cannon, it's a magic technique." ”

"Magic tricks?" Another elderly soldier also questioned, "Little girl, I'm a lot old, and I don't know much about you young people...... A more fashionable name. I want to ask, is it 'magic', the kind of spell that appears in the "God List"? It's not the kind of deceptive trick on the road, and it's not some high-tech? ”

"It's a spell...... It is a supernatural phenomenon that is produced by the subjective will of the individual and the distortion of the laws of reality. ”

was a short sentence, but Lin Xiaomiao spoke very awkwardly.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the spacious conference room suddenly became tense. If there is a substantial aura, the conference room fell silent. Lin Xiaomiao swallowed quietly.

- It's scary! Will they smash the cup as a number, and a large group of knife and axe hands will chop me up?

But the fear only crept up and was snuffed out by her. Compared to the aura of these old men, the big bugs in the picture are more terrifying!

Lin Xiaomiao quietly looked at the five elderly officers, and only after a while did she tentatively speak.

"Do you want to continue?"

In response to her, there were five gazes that were like substance. Although the five elderly soldiers did not show dissatisfaction, the suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes were like sharp swords, piercing her face!

The elderly officer in the center spoke: "Of course, please continue. ”

"Okay, keep ......" Lin Xiaomiao stretched out her hand to operate the tablet and enlarged the photo of the ghost-faced butterfly, "This is the second thing to pay attention to, the huge ghost-faced butterfly." The basic information of the ghost-faced butterfly is similar to that of the moth, and there is also a distinction between 'adult' and 'juvenile'. They also have magical skills, and can use their psychic power to form a defensive force field around their bodies to defend against attacks. This force field is quite sturdy and can withstand multiple attacks from Barrett's sniper rifle. ”

She taps on a picture, and a video pops up.

The video appears to have been shot with a high-speed camera, and the trajectory of a bullet in the air can be seen through the video, with a very obvious air ripple becoming unusually noticeable as the bullet progresses.

"In this position." Lin Xiaomiao pointed at the projection screen with the whip on the table, "The bullet came into contact with the force field formed by the spiritual force at this position, and then the speed dropped sharply and lost kinetic energy. Of course, the defensive force field of this mental power stroke is not invincible. After withstanding six sniper bullets, the force field was penetrated. ”

Another video played on the projection screen. The video, also captured by a high-speed camera, shows that the bullet first hit the invisible barrier and slowed down slightly, then suddenly accelerated, hitting the lower abdomen of the Ghostface Butterfly. Brown bodily fluids then flowed out of the bullet.

Lin Xiaomiao then added: "You need to pay attention to the fact that this kind of defensive force field composed of spiritual power can be thrown. In other words, Ghostface can apply its defensive field to any object as long as it wants to. The maximum distance measured so far is 79 meters, and it is not possible to know the limit distance. ”

A giant beetle appeared on the projection screen. A succession of bullets struck the huge compound eye of the beetle's head, but they were blocked one by one by an invisible force field.

"I believe that you can see it without our analysis. These two giant insects are 'one attack and one defense', and when combined, they can exert the effect that one plus one is greater than two. However, although these two giant insects are very powerful, the most noteworthy is this one, the giant beetle. ”

A photo taken from top to bottom takes up the entire screen. The five elderly soldiers at the scene inhaled in unison.

Judging by its physique and appearance, the giant beetle is no less impressive than the king of land, the tank!

"This giant beetle has an extremely thick carapace, and the commander of the assault team fired continuously with a Type 95 assault rifle, but never penetrated its carapace, causing substantial damage. In particular, the pair of large jaws protruding from the front of the skull are as hard as special metal, and the bullet will bounce off directly after hitting! Meantime...... At the same time, it also has a very amazing ability to heal itself. ”

The seated elderly soldier raised his hand again and asked, "Self-healing ability?" ”

"Yes, self-healing." There is no need for the elderly soldier to continue to ask, Lin Xiaomiao directly explained, "Whether it is an external wound or an internal organ injury, it can heal in a very short time." Since no physical objects have been collected, it is impossible to determine what form of self-healing it is, but considering that the area infested by giant beetles is the 'Demon Tide Valley', and the power of magic is extremely weak, it is speculated that it is self-healing with an extremely high metabolism. The research department will collect the body tissue of the giant beetle for research during the subsequent cleanup of the battlefield, and try to develop a first-aid drug that can produce effects in a very short time. ”

"This is also a 'magic trick'?"

"I can't fully confirm it at the moment. But even if self-healing isn't magical, magic is involved in the growth of this giant insect. After all, none of them can be the product of nature. ”

The elderly soldier nodded and stopped talking.

Lin Xiaomiao looked around, and then continued: "According to the latest intelligence, the original form of this giant beetle is very likely to be ......" Her voice paused, "It's a cockroach!" The Giant Beetle has the ability to stealthily dig underground, and a swarm of Giant Cockroaches has just emerged from the underground passage dug by the Giant Beetle, and is currently engaged in the battle with the Advent. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these giant cockroaches are a by-product of the giant beetle cultivation process......"

Lin Xiaomiao tried her best to control her expression and maintain the smile on her face as much as possible. But in fact, she had already started scolding the street in her heart.

- People are little fairies! It's not Obasan, who beats Xiaoqiang with slipper skin!

That's all. Due to the long incubation period of this Category III invasion and the fact that senior officers of the local forces were parasitized, the incident danger level has been raised by one level. Therefore, Penglai suggested that the surrounding area of 50 kilometers should be immediately blocked, and all personnel in the area should be investigated. ”
