Civilization Paradise

Chapter 31 Sowing discord
Long Ming then walked to the table and his gaze fell on the wireless communication device. This thing should be quite useful for the team, but it was useless to him. Moreover, it was so big that it must be very heavy, so he gave up on it.

Long Ming checked the water glass and other items on the table, then opened the drawer.

Inside were wrenches, flashlights, and other miscellaneous items.

Long Ming glanced at them but didn't take them. He needed to leave the burden for things that were more valuable.

Long Ming quickly finished searching the watchtower, then walked to the lookout post to observe the entire base from above.

There were a few worms scattered around the military base, but none of them were very large.

However, at the entrance to the giant circular base in the center, Long Ming saw two giant insects with bodies covered in hard carapaces, protruding with sharp insect spines, and below their red eyes, a round mouthpart covered with barbs, making them look ferocious.

These two brown worms, one is 5 meters long and the other is a little over 4 meters long.

Long Ming took a deep breath. Although he knew it was a game, he couldn't help but feel fear.

But the next second, his eyes became very sharp.

Long Ming took out a Baka rifle with the best durability and loaded it with bullets. As for the Koger pistol and the M24 sniper rifle, he had already loaded them before he came.

After everything was ready, Long Ming put the Baka rifle aside, then picked up the M24 sniper rifle and carefully leaned out of the window to aim and observe the two brown worms.

However, Long Ming did not fire immediately. Both insects were carapace-shaped, and he was unsure whether his gun could penetrate them.

At this moment, the smaller brown worm curled up into a ball, raised its tail, and secreted a red liquid from the end of its tail, which looked very tempting under the sunlight.

Soon a red moth swooped down from the sky and began licking the red liquid.

At this moment, the brown worm slowly revealed its ferocious head and looked at the red moth that was feeding.

However, the red moth seemed unaware of the impending danger and continued feeding.

If you observe closely, you will find that the red moth becomes very slow when licking the liquid from its mouth, and its body becomes uncontrollably paralyzed.

The next second, the brown worm suddenly opened its blood-red maw and bit the red moth, succeeding instantly.

However, just as the brown worms were preparing to enjoy their meal...

The strong, brownish worm charged over aggressively, knocking the red moth away and immediately snatching its corpse to devour it.

The little brown worms, seeing their prey taken away, also let out a mournful chirping sound, but they didn't dare to go up and snatch it back.

Upon seeing this, Long Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to subtly adjust the muzzle of his gun to lock onto the strong, brownish-red worm.

Since it was his first time sniping at long range, Long Ming wasn't very confident of hitting it. However, fortunately, its head was large, so even if he missed the eyes, he could still hit nearby parts.

A gentle breeze blew by.

Long Ming aimed intently, holding his breath and waiting for the right opportunity.

At this moment, the brown worm paused and stopped swallowing.

Long Ming's eyes narrowed, and he decisively pulled the trigger.

call out!
The bullet pierced the air and struck the brown worm in the eye.

bang~
The viscous liquid splashed out, and one of the eyes of the rotting worm was blown out, emitting a painful squeak.

However, it did not fall down; instead, it turned its head and frantically searched for enemies everywhere.

However, there was only the smaller brown worm around it, so it assumed that the worm was attacking it and angrily charged at it, knocking it away.

The smaller brown worms were also provoked after being inexplicably hit.

It angrily charged at the larger brown worm.

The two became entangled, each opening its insect-like mouth to bite the other, rolling and fighting incessantly. Long Ming kept trying to aim at its other eye, but he couldn't get a good shot at it.

He then abandoned aiming at the eyes and tried to target the abdomen of the large brown worm before pulling the trigger.

boom!
The large brown worm was struck in the abdomen, and viscous liquid splattered out. It then let out a painful cry, its life and strength slowly draining away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the smaller brown worm suddenly bit its neck tightly.

Click!

Larger brown worms were bitten to death.

Although the victorious little brown worm was covered in wounds, it continued to emit excited chirping sounds.

At this moment, Long Ming pulled the trigger again.

bang~
The bullet struck its head instantly.

The viscous liquid splashed out.

Before it could react, a second and a third shot followed.

Finally, the smaller, brownish-red worm also collapsed, unwilling to accept its fate. Although it didn't die immediately, it seemed unlikely to survive; death was only a matter of time.

After dealing with the two brown worms, Long Ming carefully inspected every corner of the entrance through the scope, and after confirming that there was no danger, he...

He loaded the M24 sniper rifle with bullets, then picked up the Baka rifle next to him and slung it over his shoulder.

A moment later, Long Ming climbed down from the watchtower and continued his search.

There is a guard room and a square building on the road leading to the central base.

Long Ming quickly arrived at the guard room. He went inside and searched the room. There were two skeletons inside, but nothing of value.

So he took a few glances and left.

Then Long Ming arrived at the entrance of the square building and cautiously peeked inside, only to find that it was a maintenance area.

He then went inside. The entire repair area was a mess, with wreckage, scattered parts, and damaged military weapons and equipment everywhere.

Long Ming squatted down and searched the area, a hesitant expression on his face.

These weapon parts are actually quite valuable; if you take them out, you could probably sell them for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Adding to what we looted before, this dungeon run was barely worthwhile.

But this amount of profit was far from enough for Long Ming. What he needed now wasn't a little money, but to eat until he was stuffed, to the point of bursting.

Long Ming hesitated for a moment after thinking about this, then walked out of the maintenance area and looked at the giant base building in the center.

He knew very well that there must be something good there, but the danger level had also increased exponentially.

Now he has two choices: either quit while he's ahead or take a gamble and see who wins and who loses.

Long Ming took a deep breath, then steeled his resolve and headed towards the central base.

Long Ming soon arrived at the entrance of the central base.

The main entrance to this central base building is a gate passageway, which is currently open. The interior passageway is very dark, resembling the open mouth of a man-eating beast.

Long Ming took a deep breath and carefully walked in. It was pitch black inside, and all the lighting equipment was out of service.

He immediately stopped and turned back to get his flashlight.
