“Something is definitely not right. There shouldn’t be any Awakened here. So what exactly is the crisis that Hu Xiaonan mentioned? Let’s search around first, instead of checking each one separately.”

"Yes, boss."

Zhang Hao and Fang Ping moved slowly.

We saw some rat bones, which seemed to have been gnawed away by some creature.

Then I saw the skeletons of more than a dozen humans, all bones, without a trace of flesh.

"There are humans here? But why is it like this?"

Fang Ping, out of curiosity, wanted to touch them.

But Zhang Hao suddenly felt his eyelids twitching, and Raven also became restless.

She vaguely thought she saw some kind of creature.

The skeleton collapsed, and black worms crawled out from its back.

Each one is the size of a fist, and there are at least several hundred of them, so densely packed that it gives you goosebumps.

"Cockroaches? No! Mutant cockroaches! Let's get out of here! Xiao Fang, we can't stay here!!"

Zhang Hao pulled Fang Ping and started walking back.

But then a large number of cockroaches suddenly emerged from behind them, completely surrounding them.

This immediately changed Zhang Hao's expression.

They even knew how to attack from both sides?

Among this group of mutated cockroaches, there must be one cockroach king that has already developed a certain level of intelligence.

Moreover, this cockroach has absolute dominance over the other mutated cockroaches, which is why they are able to carry out this coordinated pincer attack.

No wonder……

Hu Xiaonan's divination indicated that it was extremely dangerous.

A swarm of mutant cockroaches!

There must be at least a thousand of them, right?

There were a full thousand level-one mutated cockroaches; escaping was simply a pipe dream.

What should we do now?

"Boss, what do we do? We're about to be surrounded!"

Fang Ping shouted anxiously as he chopped down cockroaches one by one.

But Zhang Hao didn't panic. While killing many cockroaches, he suddenly noticed that some of them were very small, only the size of a thumb.

He suddenly had a way to break through.

"Not all of these cockroaches are Level 1 mutants. Some of them have just hatched and are just ordinary cockroaches. Ignore the smaller ones."

"Kill only the big cockroaches, and at the same time break through towards the door. These cockroaches move very slowly, so there will always be gaps. We can escape."

Zhang Hao's words spurred Fang Ping to regain his composure.

The two completely ignored the ordinary cockroaches, even letting them jump on them, and focused only on breaking through at full speed.

Fortunately, these mutated cockroaches can't fly.

Moreover, their movement speed was not fast, and the two finally escaped from the granary gate.

The mutated cockroaches stopped chasing after us when they reached the door, as if they had been forcibly ordered to return by the cockroach king.

Zhang Hao also took the opportunity to close the door, and the two of them were panting heavily.

This escape was not easy. If these cockroaches weren't like zombies and couldn't be infected, they would have been in real danger.

After a short rest, Fang Ping asked, "Boss, what do we do now? The granary is occupied by these mutated cockroaches, so it seems unlikely that we can collect any supplies."

"Not necessarily, there's still a chance. We can poison them."

Boric acid can kill cockroaches.

These cockroaches have only recently mutated and are not yet immune to boric acid.

Zhang Hao happened to have this kind of medicinal powder. Although he didn't have much, he still had a large bag weighing about ten kilograms.

It's more than enough to poison these cockroaches.

“But boss, didn’t you say that there was a very clever cockroach king among those cockroaches? We were attacked as soon as we went in, and we didn’t have a chance to poison them at all,” Fang Ping replied.

“That makes sense, that is indeed a problem.”

Moreover, cockroaches, like crows, are omnivorous.

You can eat all kinds of food, including meat, vegetables, and grains. There are no dietary restrictions. Simply adding boric acid alone will not fool cockroaches.

It must be mixed with some normal food to attract the mutated cockroaches to eat the poison, and mixing it with food is not difficult.

But the question is, how was the poison administered?

That cockroach king won't just stand by and watch you poison it.

unless……

Zhang Hao's gaze drifted to the raven on his shoulder.

"It's me again? No way!"

The ravens howled.

He felt that his father was a terrible person.

I always treat it like a laborer; I just want to be a lazy bum.

Why is it so difficult?

Zhang Hao said seriously, "You are also a mutated creature, so those cockroaches won't attack you. You have a perfect opportunity to secretly poison them. I've already seen them; they're hidden under human remains. Just place the poison next to them, and those brainless cockroaches will definitely eat it. It's very simple."

"What's so easy about it? What if that cockroach king comes after me?" Raven was worried.

"No, even if it attacks you, you can fly. None of these cockroaches are flying species, so there's nothing to worry about."

"What if the king cockroach can fly?"

"Then kill it! It's intelligent! Your mental thrust can blow its head off!"

"What if it's a higher level than me?"

"How could that be? There are almost no Level 3 mutated creatures at this stage."

"You are invincible, go forth, Crow!"

"Once you've stockpiled enough supplies, you can lie at home and binge-watch TV shows every day!"

After Fang Ping and Zhang Hao showered him with compliments...

The raven had no choice but to comply; for the sake of its future life of leisure, it had to work a little harder.

Although these mutated cockroaches are omnivorous, judging from their frenzied behavior and the cleanliness of their remains, they must have gone without food for several days.

So Zhang Hao took out a small battery-powered meat grinder.
