A massive number of mutated earthworms slithered wildly underground, and if anyone relaxed their guard even slightly, they would be swallowed by a deep pit that suddenly appeared beneath their feet.

Then it vanished completely, leaving not a single hair behind.

In just a few minutes, seven or eight members of the K3 team had been swallowed up by the deep pit.

As they watched as those around them were devoured one after another, panic gripped the group.

"Keeping at them like this isn't going to work. We need to find a way to get rid of these bugs!" Ma Dongmei shouted to Su Zheng, sweating profusely as she dodged the black hole beneath her feet.

However, the regenerative properties of the mutated earthworms have been mutated to the extreme. After their bodies are divided, they can quickly regenerate independently. They are hesitant to fight back.

A single strike won't solve the problem; instead, it will only create more enemies for you.

"My superpowers can't hit these bugs at all!" Lu Song's cheeks flushed, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The gun is useless!" The bespectacled young man fired two shots at the giant black worm that was relentlessly pursuing him.

The bullet slid across the smooth, black scales without leaving even a faint mark.

On this land that has been riddled with holes, the mutated earthworms have a unique advantage.

They moved with ease through the enormous underground labyrinth beneath their feet. Each time they locked onto a location, before they could even unleash their powers, the earthworm would plunge into the ground and disappear.

Moreover, these earthworms even possess earth-type abilities comparable to those of a third-tier being, summoning earth spikes to launch surprise attacks.

The people at K3 base possess extraordinary abilities but have nowhere to use them, leaving them forced to run around tirelessly.

"If I keep running, I'll be exhausted to death." Lin Xiaobao has a healing ability but not much physical strength, and he quickly felt his strength failing.

Lu Sheng glanced out of the corner of his eye at the giant black worm that was relentlessly pursuing them.

These mutated earthworms have incredibly large mouthparts; when they catch up with their prey, they swallow it whole without even swallowing.

If this drags on any longer, they'll all be swallowed whole.

Do you have a conductive needle?

Lu Sheng frowned, racking his brains for a way to break the deadlock, when Xu Yi suddenly asked a question in a nonchalant tone.

"have"

She answered instinctively, but then a sudden inspiration struck her.

Thanks to Xu Yi for reminding her!

“I’ll protect everyone in a separate space. You need to finish this quickly.” Xu Yi gently patted Lu Sheng’s right shoulder.

He then immediately called everyone to gather around him.

After Xu Yi protected everyone inside the space, Lu Sheng turned around and rushed towards the dark swarm of insects, raising his hand to unleash a huge electromagnetic cannon.

Upon seeing this, the cunning mutated earthworms immediately burrowed underground, hiding in the shadows and watching Lu Sheng with restless intent.

Lu Sheng calmly drew his Tang sword, rushed to the spot where the earthworm had disappeared, and forcefully plunged the gleaming sword into the ground.

"What is she trying to do? Let me out! Xiao Jun is still outside!" Dong Yang, the female officer who had previously disliked Lu Sheng and the others at the Armed Police Hospital, suddenly shouted.

The young soldier beside her couldn't hide the sadness on his face. "Sister Dongyang, Brother Xiaojun has been swallowed by insects. Don't be impulsive."

They watched helplessly as people were swallowed, and everyone knew that the chances of survival were slim.

"He just swallowed it! There's still hope!" Dongyang pounded on the invisible barrier with all his might. "Let's hurry and save him, it's not too late!"

No one spoke, except for two people who silently stopped Dongyang.

Having lived through these past few months in the apocalypse, they have become somewhat numb to death.

If you can't even say for sure whether you'll see the sun tomorrow, how can you have time to grieve for the lives of others?

On the other side, after burying all the blades underground, Lu Sheng activated his supernatural power, channeling all the 10,000 volts of high-voltage electricity through the Tang sword and into the soft soil beneath his feet.

High-voltage electricity was injected into the soil, and soon the air was filled with the distinctive smell of soil that had been exposed to the sun.

"What's going on here?" Sun Tiantian asked curiously, standing on tiptoe to look.

Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly realized, slapping her forehead, "Sister Lu reacted quickly! She's electrocuting earthworms!"

"Earthworms are a traditional Chinese medicine. In the past, many people in the village used homemade machines to electrocute earthworms in the fields. After being electrocuted, the earthworms would have difficulty breathing and would jump out of the soil on their own!"

"In the past two years, the government has been stricter in its regulations. Electricizing earthworms can be a criminal offense, which has led to a shortage of talent."

"Big Sister is awesome!"

The people on the K3 side were also surprised by Lu Sheng's reaction speed, and the bespectacled guy couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Only Dongyang, pale-faced, frantically pounded on the air barrier, shouting, "Xiaojun is still inside the earthworm! She'll kill him if she keeps doing this!"

Outside Xu Yi's space, the mutated earthworms hidden deep underground were writhing wildly under the baptism of high-voltage electricity.

A few seconds later, the huge black shadow finally burst out of the soil in agony.

With a series of strange noises, countless giant black worms emerged densely from the vast land. The spectacular scene was nauseating.

Once they leave the underground world where they depend on for survival, the mutated earthworms, now fully exposed, become much less lethal.

Taking advantage of the fact that the mutated earthworms were paralyzed by the high voltage, Lu Sheng quickly took out a powerful agricultural pesticide from his spatial storage and sprayed it at the giant worm that was rolling and writhing on the ground.

Although they are immune to bullets, earthworms have respiratory organs on their skin, so pesticides can still penetrate them.

Dissatisfied with Lu Sheng forcing them to take drugs, the angry mutated earthworm convulsed and sprang up, its huge mouthparts emitting a silent roar.

A pungent acid sprayed from the mouthparts, which Lu Sheng easily dodged.

However, the high concentration of pesticides quickly took effect, and under the combined attack of pesticides and high-voltage electricity, the earthworms, deprived of the protection of the soil, gradually lost their advantage.
