"I'm going now!" Sun Tiantian was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stumbled towards the bedroom.

As soon as the last light source went out, the frenzied giant moths suddenly lost their direction, rustling and crawling on the glass, eerily peering into the room.

Sun Tiantian approached Lu Sheng tremblingly, her sweaty palms gripping his wrist tightly. A sticky silence fell over the room, broken only by the pounding of Sun Tiantian's heart.

Bang bang bang!

The silence lasted only a few seconds before a series of loud, agitated impacts came from the direction of the bedroom, so powerful that the door frame trembled slightly.

"I...I turned off the lights!" Sun Tiantian clenched her fingers so tightly that Lu Sheng felt a little pain.

Lu Sheng stood up nimbly, rushed over and flung open the bedroom door. A blinding beam of white light instantly poured out of the room, illuminating almost half of the living room.

The scene before him left Lu Sheng speechless for a moment…

Xiao Yu groggily got out of bed. A tender green shoot stood upright in her short hair, which looked like a bird's nest, with a lantern fruit the size of a ping-pong ball on top of it.

The bright light that made the room as bright as day was the light emitted by this fruit...

Lu Sheng was slightly surprised when he first saw someone with the awakened light bulb ability.

This time, Sun Tiantian reacted quickly, jumping onto the bed and pressing down on Xiao Yu, wrapping the lantern fruit tightly with a pillowcase.

The light source disappeared, and the swarm of moths outside the window quieted down for a while.

"Where did such a big bug come from in the school?" Sun Tiantian said in a low voice, breathing heavily with lingering fear.

Lu Sheng closed the bedroom door and covered the window with a thick blackout cloth. "They're those little moths that usually gather on the school streetlights. They're attracted to light and become quiet when there's no light source. They should die in a few days."

"Huh?" Sun Tiantian exclaimed, "Did you steal pig feed? You've grown this much in just one vacation?"

"In extreme weather conditions, plants and animals will evolve to adapt to their environment."

Lu Sheng took out the insecticide gel he had prepared earlier and carefully applied it to all the gaps in the window frame. "Any inconspicuous little bug that used to be could now be a monster that could kill you."

Xiao Yu pulled off the pillowcase, pointed at the small light bulb above her head, and looked a little unpleasant.

"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. In post-apocalyptic novels, everyone awakens some awesome skills like fire and thunder, but why am I the one who awakens as a third wheel?!"

"Meow." Zhuangzhuang jumped onto Xiao Yu's shoulder, curiously pawing at the lantern fruit with its little paws, and eagerly licked it twice with its pink little tongue.

Sun Tiantian grabbed Zhuangzhuang by the neck, "You can't eat this!"

"No, I can't afford to lose face like that."

Xiao Yu looked utterly hopeless. "It's like a basketball team and a football team having a brawl. Everyone else pulls out knives, guns, and clubs, and I just pull out a magic wand and shout 'Guna La, God of Darkness, transform!' in front of everyone."

Sun Tiantian laughed so hard she almost fell over, "It's okay, baby, even a small one is cute."

After being "comforted" by her girlfriend, Xiao Yu's face turned even uglier, and she started playing with her phone in a depressed mood.

Lu Sheng cursed the system a hundred times in his heart.

However, Xiao Yu's skills are not entirely useless. In a while, the national power system will be paralyzed, and a stable source of light will be crucial for both finding supplies and surviving.

Lighting lamps like Xiao Yu's, which consume two bowls of rice per 100 kilometers, would be the preferred partner for various base exploration teams.

The Dingxianglou mutual aid group, which had been quiet all afternoon, became lively again. Most of the people in the group were girls who were afraid of insects and asked for help. The boys jokingly said that they would provide door-to-door care services.

Sun Tiantian leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder, swiping her boyfriend's phone screen with one hand, and muttered with a pout, "Liu Zihan next door switched live streaming platforms? I wonder what kind of trouble she'll cause tonight."

Liu Zihan is Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian's classmate. She skips classes whenever possible and devotes all her energy to making money through live streaming.

In order to become famous, he did a lot of shameless things, even going so far as to livestream and break into other people's dormitories, which resulted in him being given a demerit by the school.

Lu Sheng glanced at the messages in the group chat. Liu Zihan had tagged all the members and posted a link to the live stream, asking everyone to help boost the viewership.

Sun Tiantian quickly entered the live stream room and discovered that Liu Zihan's live stream location was actually the 4th floor corridor.

"As long as you guys post 'XinYun No. 1', I'll open the door to the outdoor platform right now and give you a live broadcast."

Lu Sheng, Sun Tiantian, and Xiao Yu exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.

The corridor wall lamps are always on, so as soon as Liu Zihan opens the door, those giant moths will swarm in!

She didn't care whether Liu Zihan lived or died, but if so many mutated moths weren't dealt with in time, they might cause even bigger trouble later.

Lu Sheng got up and rushed out the door, but she was too slow. Liu Zihan had already unlocked the door and opened it a crack.

"The door lock is open now, brothers, send some more gifts..."

Liu Zihan was still acting cute to the viewers in the live stream, but the giant moth outside the door couldn't wait any longer.

The massive influx of moths was like a giant hand forcefully smashing open the door! Liu Zihan screamed and was then engulfed by the overwhelming swarm of moths.

The swarm of moths loomed like a dark cloud, and the large amount of phosphorus powder they shed with their flapping wings choked Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. They covered their mouths and noses and coughed incessantly.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. She couldn't reveal herself too early before a large number of superhumans appeared.

After a second of thought, Lu Sheng urgently retrieved the backpack-style alcohol sprayer he had prepared earlier from his spatial storage.

This was a free gift from the shop owner when I bought insecticide. I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Lu Sheng turned the showerhead up to its maximum and aimed it at the swarm of moths, then snapped his fingers.

The tiny flame that bloomed at the fingertip instantly ignited the alcohol spray, and a fiery dragon roared as it tore apart the swarm of moths!

The swarm of black moths was instantly half-burnt, and they fell to the ground in a flurry.

But the moths' instinct to fly into a flame caused the remaining moths to quickly gather again and rush towards Lu Sheng with great momentum.

Just as Lu Sheng was about to use the same method to deal with the remaining moths, he suddenly felt light as someone lifted him by the shoulder and threw him to the back of the corridor.

"Stay away."

Xu Yi, who was standing in front of Lu Sheng at some point, threw a high-wattage handheld lamp at the swarm of moths. The moths were immediately attracted and swarmed around the lamp.

The lamp also saved Liu Zihan. She frantically shook off the remaining moths on her body and howled as she scurried back to her dormitory.

Lu Sheng stared at Xu Yi.

He pushed up his half-rimmed glasses, and a crystal resembling a rock candy flew from his fingertip along a parabolic trajectory toward the restless swarm of moths.

The entire set of movements was fluid and graceful, even elegant.

boom!
