Chapter 24 Scarlet Worm

"Ouch!"

In the empty scarlet wilderness, with a howl, thousands of red fire ferocious wolves appeared.

As the tide of beasts continues, the number of campsites in coastal areas decreases sharply.

"It's been three days, and there are still so many damn scarlet beasts!"

Li Shan was covered in blood, and he could no longer tell whether it was the scarlet beast's blood or his own blood.

"Shanzi, if you keep persisting, it should be over soon!" Mazi said in a deep voice.

The wall of corpses in front of them had begun to rot.

The foul smell makes it difficult to breathe.

Moreover, in those walls of corpses, there were not only the corpses of scarlet beasts, but also those of humans.

Many of them are comrades who have fought side by side.

Comparatively speaking, the psychological pressure and mental destruction caused by these scenes are more terrifying than the Scarlet Beast.

"Zizzi...zizi..."

"Hey? The communication at the camp has been restored!" Duan Zixuan glanced at the bracelet and quickly said to the person next to him.

Without communication equipment, information transfer was slow, often resulting in unnecessary combat attrition.

"Mazi, Mazi, a large number of scarlet worms have been found in Area 1. You should immediately lead a team to check. Team 2 has been sent to replace you!"

As soon as communications were restored, battalion commander Zhang Tie issued an order.

"receive!"

Mazi replied and immediately regrouped the team members hiding in the "defense fortification".

"Defense formation, head to area one!"

The members of the first team cooperated very well. The long-range attacks were surrounded in the center of the team. Some on the outside were holding shields, and some, like Li Shan, were holding long knives for defense.

Chen Ping was in the team and used a small pistol from beginning to end. It was a mid- and short-range weapon and was also guarded in the center of the team.

"Horse, why are scarlet worms still there?" Mazi stood in the middle of the team, looking around carefully. If a scarlet beast approached, he would directly attack with a compound bow.

The ability of scarlet worms is far weaker than that of scarlet beasts of the same level, but they are larger in number and smaller in size. If they attack the camp, they are absolutely impossible to defend against.

Ten minutes later, a team moved to Area 1.

Looking around, there are white cobwebs all over the ground. Spiders the size of fists are lying quietly on the cobwebs, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to move.

"What is this? I've never seen it before!" Duan Zixuan stood behind Chen Ping and said doubtfully.

"First-level blood spiders prey on other scarlet worms for a living. If they reach level two or above, they can prey on scarlet beasts."

"Their spider silk is very tough, and they have poisonous sacs in their abdomens. Their weak point is also in their abdomen. For blood spiders below the second level, as long as they can hit their abdomen, they will lose their ability to fight!"

Chen Ping explained calmly.

"Wow, you are indeed my idol. He knows everything!" Duan Zixuan looked full of admiration.

"The database of "Scarlet Apocalypse" has a detailed introduction to blood spiders!"

"Really? But I play games and rarely read guides..." Duan Zixuan regretted a little. If he had paid more attention when he played games, he wouldn't be blind now.

"Captain, what should we do now? Should we launch an attack... or wait a little longer?" a team member asked in a low voice.

In the distance, more blood spiders are still gathering, making people's scalp numb.

"There are more and more of these things. When they are all gathered, we won't even be able to fight back. Let's deal with it first!" Mazi turned his head and gave Li Shan a wink.

Li Shan nodded, and finally waved back: "Defense team, follow me!"

"Provide remote support to Shanzi!"

Mazi shouted, hid behind a bunker, took a compound bow and started shooting.

The war was about to break out. Chen Ping held a small pistol and kept shooting. He really wasn't interested in this kind of one-shot scarlet worm.

"Captain! There are level 2 scarlet worms here!"

Suddenly, Li Shan shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, a team member in front of him was wrapped into a "mummy" by a white spider web.

Another team member was splashed with venom, leaving only bones on half of his face.

"Withdraw!"

Mazi immediately shouted loudly.

I originally thought that they were all first-level scarlet worms with limited lethality, so I asked Li Shan and others to go and attract firepower, while the others dealt with all their strength.

Under the cover of several compound bows, Li Shan withdrew safely.

At the same time, hundreds of second-level blood spiders also followed.

"Swish swish!"

In the fortifications, countless arrows flew out. Only Mazi's arrows could occasionally hit the blood spider's abdomen. The rest of the people basically shot at the blood spider and were directly bounced away.

"Boy, the abdomens of these spiders are blocked, it's too difficult to shoot!" Mazi looked at the spiders getting closer and closer, feeling a little anxious.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several bullets were fired one after another, each one striking accurately, killing the blood spider directly.

Mazi was accustomed to Chen Ping's strength, but the others in the team were a little unbelievable.

No one expected that Chen Ping, who was usually taciturn and ordinary, could actually have the ability to hit the target with perfect accuracy.

It's a pity that no matter how accurate Chen Ping is, he can't kill hundreds of blood spiders in a short time with one shot per person.

A large number of blood spiders still rushed to the front.

These defenses can also act as a buffer against the Scarlet Beast, but they have no hindering effect on the Blood Spider.

"Retreat! Don't get close to them!"

The size of the second-level blood spider is much larger than that of the first-level one, and the venom it shoots is also stronger. Ordinary people will die if they touch it.

While fighting back and retreating, they soon reached the main gate of the camp.

Some blood spiders have climbed up the wall and entered the camp.

"It's over, the camp is going to fall!" Duan Zixuan hurriedly pulled the trigger, but he didn't even touch the body of the blood spider.

Ma Zi immediately reported the battle situation to the captain Zhang Tie.

"You continue to resist the scarlet bugs outside, and leave those entering the camp to me!"

Zhang Tie replied hoarsely.

So, a team stayed in front of the camp gate and continued to resist.

"Green turntable?"

Ma Zi, who shot a second-level blood spider to death with an arrow, suddenly saw a green and scarlet turntable falling out.

Chen Ping, who was standing aside, naturally saw it.

And the eyes of the whole team were all looking at the turntable.

Putting away the turntable calmly, Ma Zi said to everyone: "When we hand it in to the camp and exchange it for points, everyone will have a share!"

"Captain, the points in the camp are not very useful now, why don't we... why don't we draw it ourselves!"

"Yes! The situation is critical now, the most important thing is to draw prizes and improve our strength! If we hand it in to the camp, except for those points, everything else has nothing to do with us!"

"Yes, the most dangerous and hardest work in the whole camp is done by our team, and in the end, what good things we draw are not ours!"

"Teams 2 and 3 are the direct descendants of the battalion commander, and our strongest team has become the stepmother's. Captain, let's use it!"

The team members talked at once.

In fact, Ma Zi didn't plan to hand in this turntable.

He planned to show it to Chen Ping first. If Chen Ping didn't want it, he would draw it directly.

As for the camp points, he still had a lot in his hand, and he would divide them equally among his team members at that time as compensation.

"Since everyone thinks so, then don't hand it in!"

"It's just... who will draw?" Ma Zi looked at everyone.

"Captain, you have always had the final say on our team's affairs. You specify who will draw, and we have no objection!"

"What about the prizes we draw?" Ma Zi continued to ask.

"As long as the fat water does not flow to outsiders, it's fine. Anyway, we are all members of our team. If we can draw good things, our strength can be improved!"

"Okay, you can take a look at the prize pool in the turntable first. If you are interested in the lottery, sign up with me first!"

Ma Zi nodded.

At this time, some of the second-level blood spiders have entered the camp, and the rest have been eliminated. The first-level blood spiders in the distance have no offensive movements. Two people were assigned to guard, and the others gathered in front of Ma Zi.

Soon, the green turntable was passed to Chen Ping. The prize pool had 60 items and 57 white props, and they were all garbage among garbage.

The three green prizes were, respectively, the primary vehicle mastery talent, the primary potion mastery talent, and the intermediate life potion!

Good things are really good, but there are really many rubbish prizes.

Ten years of life in exchange for a 5% chance of winning has discouraged many people.

The most important thing is that the average life span of a team member is about ten years, and some of them don't even live long enough to draw.

"Who will draw?" Ma Zi looked around at everyone.

Suddenly, everyone was silent.

"In this way, the prizes drawn can belong to individuals, and I will take out a part of my points to compensate others!" Ma Zi continued.

Still no one answered.

"Then... let's hand it in!" Ma Zi sighed.

"Captain, I still have eleven years of life. If no one draws..."

A team member stepped forward.

Seeing this, Chen Ping also slowly said: "I want to take a gamble too!"

"No one else? Then you two..."

"Captain, I thought about it and let him draw first!"

After this turn, there was less than a year of life left, and there were too few green quality prizes. The team member really didn't dare to gamble.

After all, he was able to join the first team, and his strength was not weak, so there was no need for him to fight to the death for the time being.

Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Ping.

Most of the team members didn't know Chen Ping, and didn't even know his name.

But they knew that Chen Ping came from the bottom of the society with a life expectancy of less than a year, and he joined the combat team because he couldn't continue to draw.

"That's not right! He shouldn't have a life expectancy of ten years, right?"

"Yes, can you draw the green turntable?"

Several team members were a little confused.

"As long as the turntable can be started, the prize is yours. As for other things, everyone has their own secrets. I won't ask, let alone interfere!"

Ma Zi's words directly helped Chen Ping out.

Chen Ping bit his finger and pressed it to the center of the turntable.
