Chapter 77: Frozen Zone Insect Swarm (Thirteen)

Time goes back to an hour ago.

After seeing Xie Mian leave, E Shifang snapped his fingers and used "time rewind" to make the time in the alley go back to before the leech appeared.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

The once dense swarm of leeches disappeared, and the alley became empty. The walls and concrete roads were exposed, and the air was no longer filled with the stench of leeches.

“Ka-ka-ka—”

E Shifang stepped forward and reached the well. The cover was still tightly closed. He kicked it open.

The well under the manhole cover had long been abandoned. Looking down from above, it was a pitch-black mass with a musty smell coming from the bottom of the well.

E Shifang was about to close the manhole cover and leave when he suddenly smelled a barely perceptible fragrance mixed with the musty smell. The smell was extremely faint. If E Shifang had not been transformed into an insect and his physical fitness was no longer that of an ordinary human, he probably would not have been able to smell it.

He looked at the direction where Xie Mian left at the entrance of the alley, stood in the wind with his hands in his trouser pockets for a while, and then jumped into the well.

As E Shifang left, the alley twisted and fluctuated like a shadow projected onto the surface of a lake.

After a few seconds, it returns to normal.

…

The other side.

Thanks to the soldiers' continuous killing and the addition of the insect-loving team, the leeches in the civilian area were basically eliminated.

Occasionally, there were leeches hiding in the Gada Cape, but they were also found by soldiers using instruments specifically used to detect insect monsters.

The burning houses were put out, the humans who had been bitten by leeches and transformed into insects were cleaned up, and the humans who were simply injured were sent to the hospital.

The dark clouds have disappeared, but the sadness remains.

Those who are still alive are grateful that they are still alive, while those who have lost their loved ones stand by numbly.

In the end of the world, all separations become commonplace.

Fu Ze sent his men to help Xie Mian find the "silver-haired" man he mentioned.

Chen Yan, Xu Qi, and others who had received help from Xie Mian also joined in the search. As the sky gradually brightened, E Shifang still did not appear.

"Take a break!"

Lin Heng's voice came from behind, holding a sandwich and stuffing it into Xie Mian's hand.

Xie Mian held the sandwich without moving. He felt a great pain in his head, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing and biting him.

"I'll go look in other areas!"

Xie Mian stood up, staggering and his face pale.

He was too self-righteous, assuming that Goose Ten-Direction was powerful, so he was left to deal with the source of the leeches. These leeches were clearly the work of someone behind the scenes. Leeches aren't scary; it's the human heart that's terrifying. Perhaps behind the leeches is a huge trap waiting for them to fall into.

Xie Mian bit his fingertips, looking anxious.

Besides, what if Goose Shifang turns back into a goose? The goose's insect power isn't that strong, and it's still silly all day, like it's missing a nerve...

"Thank you!"

Lin Heng grabbed his brother's shoulders and forced him to sit on the stone. He took the sandwich from his hand and tore open the packaging. "Eat it, you can only go after you finish eating!"

He knew that Xie Mian would not listen to anything he said now, so instead of stopping him, he might as well continue to help him search.

"Eat something. E Shifang will be worried if he sees you like this."

He finished the sandwich in his hand without any taste, and was forced by Lin Heng to drink a carton of milk before he dragged his feet and rejoined the search.

This time the search scope was expanded again. In addition to the base, Xie Mian also went to the frozen area outside the base.

The soldiers thanked Xie Mian for saving Captain Chen Yan and wanted to help him search in the frozen area, but Xie Mian refused.

The frozen zone is already full of dangers, and these soldiers have no insect power. Every second they stay in the frozen zone increases the danger.

Although Xie Mian refused, the soldiers still took advantage of their off-duty time to look for people.

Xie Mian kept this touching moment in his heart and told Lin Heng that he would join the medical team once E Shifang was found.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

Outside the frozen zone, a strong wind blew up broken ice, blowing it onto Lin Heng and Xie Mian. Lin Heng used roses to build a flower wall in front of the two of them.

Xie Mian looked at the soldiers standing guard in the cold wind, with a look of world-weary disappointment on his face: "It doesn't matter, they're worth it!"

Once Xie Mian began treating the soldiers, his ability to use insect energy to heal insect bites would undoubtedly cause a stir. He needed to discuss this matter with Fu Ze in advance, prepare a response plan, and ensure Xie Mian's safety.

The reason why Xie Mian decided to join the medical team was, firstly, to express his gratitude to the soldiers, and secondly, he needed more people to help him find E Shifang.

Although the number of soldiers was large, their search range was limited. However, the insect-loving ones were different. Their insect energy allowed them to enter more areas that ordinary people could not penetrate.

Fu Ze was overjoyed when he heard that Xie Mian agreed to join the medical team.

With Xie Mian's joining, they will have a greater advantage in the confrontation between the egalitarian faction and the privileged faction.

"The prerequisite is that I have to find Goose Shifang!"

At this point, Xie Mian no longer concealed the fact that the silver-haired man was Da'e, and hoped that Fu Ze could lend him some manpower.

"Thank you, the medical team really needs you right now. As for E Shifang, I will definitely send more people to help you find him."

"I said, I have to find Goose Shifang first!"

At this time, three days had passed since E Shifang disappeared.

E Shifang seemed to have evaporated from the base, leaving no trace.

*

Wells, sewers.

The garbage crunched underfoot, and the thin air was filled with the stench of decay.

The bodies of some dead rats had already shriveled up, with strange flies buzzing around them and laying white eggs.

Soon, young flies crawled out of the white eggs.

Goose Shifang's feet were like white repellent circles. With every step he took, the garbage in front of his feet disappeared. As he walked, the garbage magically reappeared.

Each of his steps was extremely steady. Although he looked slow, he had actually covered more than ten kilometers in half an hour.

The stench becomes lighter and lighter, and the fragrance becomes stronger and stronger.

The winding sewer kept shortening under your feet, and finally, a metal door appeared at the end of the sewer.

The dark metal door was covered with dark green, moist moss.

E Shifang stood in front of the door, one hand in his pocket, and knocked lightly.

Inside the door.

An experimenter wearing a gray protective suit is cutting a human-worm with six heads.

The man-worm was tied to the experimental table, and the black restraints were filled with electric current.

Every time a head was cut off, the human-worm's body twitched and a thick green slurry spurted out.

"Strange, I think I heard a knock on the door?"

He stopped the scalpel in his hand and said to the team member opposite him.

"I guess I heard it wrong. How could there be a knock on the door here?"

The team member smiled without even looking up and said, this is a secret underground laboratory, a place no one knows about, entry and exit are unlocked by fingerprints, who would knock on the door.

"No, listen..."

Snap---Snap--

The two men turned around and looked towards an iron gate on the east side.

"Why is there someone knocking on the door? It's impossible..."

"Isn't it a bug monster?"

"This iron door is made of special material and is filled with electric current. Don't worry!"

The two of them simply ignored it and continued with the experiment at hand.

“Puff…”

Another head fell, accompanied by blood splattering, and suddenly a tall figure appeared in the laboratory.
