Sure enough, after the middle transport vehicle cut its engine, the black swarm gradually lost interest and ceased their attack.
Even the black bugs clinging to the hull slowly took flight and scattered.
Jason breathed a sigh of relief. The theory held up! These damned bugs were drawn to the heat!
Looking out the window, insects continued pouring endlessly from crevices in every direction. It looked like a writhing, black desert, reminiscent of a swarm of scarabs from a horror movie. The sheer volume was staggering; it was enough to drive anyone mad with fear.
The hundred people huddled inside the transport were petrified, not daring to move a muscle. It was a miracle they had this shelter; otherwise, they would have been slaughtered.
The insect swarm fell into a frenzy, their wings buzzing violently as they surged relentlessly toward the crash site of the aerial base.
The trigger for this madness was simple—thermal energy!
