Lu Xiao did not rush towards the cockroach immediately. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with all possible accidents.

After some observation, Lu Xiao is almost certain that this cockroach does not have the ability to move at high speed.

The reason is that its active organs do not match its huge size.

The body is the size of a buffalo, supported only by six slender legs.

Especially the joints, they look very fragile.

With just one glance, Lu Xiao could tell that the opponent's evolution was somewhat incomplete.

In addition, cockroaches' own reflex arc is their advantage in moving quickly.

Due to the different neurotransmission structures, this advantage is very large when the body is small.

But as the body size increases, the reflection time will be extended.

Otherwise, with the cockroach's speed, he would have no chance to stand here and think.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiao moved sideways for a few steps.

A few seconds later, an afterimage flashed past.

The giant cockroach appeared where Lu Xiao was originally.

Lu Xiao grinned.

"Ten seconds?"

"Ten seconds is enough for me to demolish your ancestral graves."

The time between when the cockroach found Lu Xiao and when it launched its attack was Past a full ten seconds.

It's not that the cockroach was hesitating and thinking during this time.

It's the reflex arc time of its nerves.

Lu Xiao Just need to take action in advance to avoid the opponent's attack during this time, and then you can fight without any injuries.

But now a new problem is before Lu Xiao.

From the shiny outer carapace, we can see how terrifying this cockroach's defense is.

Lu Xiao thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the joints of the feet.

Compared to other places, this place seems much more fragile.

The feeling of hunger keeps urging Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao looked around the surrounding environment, trying to find some suitable weapons.

Finally, his eyes fell on an exposed abandoned steel bar.

The length of the steel bars exposed to the air is about one meter.

This is a threaded steel bar about the thickness of your thumb.

Lu Xiao immediately had an idea.

He counted the time silently in his mind.

At the same time, his footsteps slowly moved towards the location of the steel bars.

The way cockroaches exert force is very strange.

They often can move as fast as possible without the need for a run-up process.

Lu Xiao knew that the reason why they did not accelerate was entirely due to their weird body structure.

Unlike other carbon-based organisms, their muscles are more like liquid.

Lu Xiao can't figure out the principle of that weird way of exerting force.

But what is certain is that the inertia brought about by such high-speed movement is absolutely terrifying.

What Lu Xiao has to do now is to use this inertia to cause harm to the giant cockroach in front of him.

That exposed steel bar is just the first step.

Soon, after several dodges.

Lu Xiao finally moved to the location of the steel bar.

This time, after Lu Xiao silently counted to about eight seconds in his mind, he rushed Past towards the left.

Then, an afterimage passed by.

A few drops of green juice splashed on Lu Xiao's body.

What followed was a strange Screech sound.

Lu Xiao turned his head and looked at the cockroach that was Piercing.

At this moment, it is constantly struggling to pull its body out.

Lu Xiao knows that he does not have much time.

So he picked up half a brick beside him and threw it at the cockroach Past.

"Pah!"

The brick hit the joint of one of the legs accurately.

Feeling the numbness coming from the palm of his hand, Lu Xiao's breathing became rapid.

This brick failed to smash the cockroach's joints.

Lu Xiao instantly understood that he had misjudged the opponent's defense.

At the same time, a leg as sharp as a sickle waved towards Lu Xiao.

This was not a deliberate attack, but an unconscious waving of the legs.

Therefore, although the speed is very fast, it lacks accuracy.

But Lu Xiao knows very well that he must not be injured.

In such an environment, once a wound appears on the body, the consequences will be absolutely cruel.

In desperation, he had no choice but to give up the attack and instead moved his body out of the opponent's attack range.

"It would be nice to have a gun."

This was Lu Xiao's first thought.

Due to the inability to break through the defense, Lu Xiao has no good way to deal with this cockroach at this moment.

While he was thinking about what to do next.

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the distance.

Lu Xiao looked at the sound with a wary expression.

I saw a group of soldiers holding firearms running towards this side.

This group of soldiers is not the pair Lu Xiao saw earlier.

But it can be seen from the clothing that they should belong to the same detachment.

The tactical mask worn by the leading soldier was badly damaged.

Half of the face was exposed.

To Lu Xiao's surprise, they did not point their guns at themselves.

Instead, he immediately became alert to the location of the cockroach.

The soldier whose mask was half broken came to Lu Xiao and said with doubt in his tone:

"Civilian, you did this?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

The next moment, the soldier took off his mask, revealing a somewhat weathered face.

He groped around on his body for a while, and then took out a wrinkled Incense Sticks from his waist, with some damaged cigarette paper.

He handed Incense Sticks to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao waved his hand and refused without thinking.

The soldier looked stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "You don't like it?"

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "I just don't smoke."

Hearing this, the soldier took Incense Sticks back, then let out a long sigh and said:

"Then I'll tell you straight."

"We would like you to transfer this loot to us."

"If you need anything in exchange, you can just tell me."

"As long as it's not too much, I will find a way to satisfy you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao said with a somewhat puzzled tone, "You can obviously grab it directly."

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier raised his hand and interrupted, "You are right."

"But the army has army rules."

Lu Xiao suddenly understood, then raised his hand and pointed at the cockroach and said:

"To be honest, I'm very hungry now."

The soldier immediately understood what Lu Xiao meant.

He clapped his hands, and a soldier wearing a complete mask immediately trotted up next to him.

He took out a gray-white cake from the backpack behind him and handed it to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao took it and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The taste of the unknown cake body was very bland, it could even be said that it had no taste at all.

But Lu Xiao doesn't mind the taste at all.

Seeing Lu Xiao wolfing down the food, the leading soldier let out a long sigh and said:

"It's not easy for everyone."

"Give him some more protein bars later."
