"Alright, that's it." It was rare to see Shi Yin gritting her teeth like that, and the commander was a little gloating. "But these bugs are too big and a bit difficult to clean up. We didn't bring many people with us, so why don't you stop watching?"

"Sweep it away, sweep it away!" Shi Yin felt like her eyes were being attacked just by looking at it.

Without even raising his hand, a ball of flame erupted from the fly's corpse behind him, instantly burning the green fly to ashes.

The bodyguards, who were about to pull out their flamethrowers, paused for a moment, then reacted quickly, putting away their flamethrowers and skillfully picking up shovels to shovel a large clump of ash from the ground into the nearby forest.

"You actually have something you're afraid of?" The commander found it strange. "Those zombies weren't exactly good-looking, were they?"

"Do I have to choose between these two piles of poop?" Shi Yin wanted to die: "Is this the difference between thin and thick? These worms are clearly uglier! I can finish the thin one in one bite, but this one is still half-hard even after chewing!"

Commander-in-Chief: "..."

What are you saying?!

Although the words are rough but the reasoning is sound, your words are just too rough!!

No matter what those zombies are like, even if they have the uncanny valley effect, they are still in human form. These insects are genetically anti-human!

In the past, when dealing with zombies, the soldiers could grit their teeth and keep quiet. Now, the era of zombies has turned into the era of insects, and every day they can hear all sorts of ghostly wails and howls coming from afar.

These flies that suddenly appear are relatively harmless; sometimes, you might just walk along and a moth or some other insect will suddenly appear and kill you in the face.

That kind of critical hit, even with three layers of helmet, made me feel contaminated.

Basically, 99% of the soldiers who went out on their first mission returned vomiting so badly they were completely exhausted.

Along the way, the group encountered more than a dozen wasps, a gecko as long as a person, three moths, and a white-headed spider.

In the end, apart from the leader, no one cared about manners anymore; even Tokine joined the Screaming Lord.

Another moth flew out, leaving a trail of moth pollen, its soft white abdomen twitching.

Shi Yin almost instinctively jumped back and landed on the leader, screaming "Get out!" while burning the moth to ashes with a fire.

As for why the leader was able to maintain such composure...

Of course, it was because Shi Yin was leading the way, and every time a bug jumped out, it would instinctively jump onto him, clinging to him like an octopus, so he couldn't see what was happening in front of him at all.

By the time the commander could see the road ahead, the insects had already been burned to ashes.

"Why don't you stop walking in front?" The commander felt that Shi Yin had started to talk nonsense. When the bug jumped out and pressed against his face, Shi Yin's voice was almost like Martian language.

When he turned around, he could see through his helmet that the bodyguards behind him had turned pale and stiffened.

"I...I...I can go in front!" a bodyguard said tremblingly.

His voice was trembling so badly that he didn't seem like the type to dare to walk forward alone.

One person is enough to clear the way. Having brothers by your side can help alleviate the fear, but being alone in front is simply deadly.

“Sir, I suggest we don’t.” A slightly calmer, older bodyguard spoke up: “Although some of us can hold back our screams, none of us are as strong as Miss Shiyin. Right now, it’s just Miss Shiyin holding you. If it were us… we might be the ones holding you like bugs.”

If someone fails to block the bug's attack, the bug can pounce and grab two at once. Hey, you can have twins without the pain of motherhood!

Commander-in-Chief: "..."

Let's forget about it then.

"So, why are you so calm?" Shi Yin looked at the man in the middle of the group. "And why did you all come along?"

Shi Yin felt her image shattered; she was supposed to be omnipotent.

She was indeed omnipotent, killing insects one by one and swarms by swarms, but she really couldn't help but be frightened!

"Because I close my eyes quickly." Kita Kiyokawa said helplessly, "I've developed a skill that allows me to close my eyes and cover my ears the moment I hear the slightest sound."

No one would be able to see insects magnified so many times and then kindly ask them how they are doing.

They would only offer a warm greeting to their entire family!

"As for why I'm here, it's because I need to write a news report." Kitakyokawa waved the small camera in his hand: "I'm a special correspondent dispatched by the Consul General this time."

Kita Kiyokawa has worked across the entertainment industry, as a singer, actor, host, and reporter.

"Don't go back and talk nonsense!" Shi Yin threatened through gritted teeth, "You must have been hallucinating!"

“Yes, it’s all an illusion.” Kita Kiyokawa barely managed to suppress a laugh. “Well, it seems we’re almost there.”

They walked up the steps for a long time, and the outline of the temple could be vaguely seen ahead.

"No, what does this have to do with self-cultivation? This is clearly forcing yourself to suffer!"

"No, my lady, when Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon someone, it first tests their will, strains their mind and bones, starves their body, and empties their resources..."

"Who says that everything the ancients said is always right? How do you know that you can't succeed without suffering? Besides, I've already suffered once, why should I suffer a second time!"

From a distance, people could hear two voices arguing.

"That voice...is it Gu Changge?" The leader couldn't recognize the young man's voice, but he could recognize the woman's voice.

“Hmm… the other one is Jingxin, right?” Shiyin recognized the boy’s voice: “I remember he’s the fifth junior brother, isn’t he?”

As the crowd approached, they indeed saw two people of similar height arguing with each other.

"No, this is already a bit too much. There are taps and automatic water dispensers, why do we still have to carry two buckets of water on a shoulder pole and climb so many steps?" Gu Changge grabbed her hair, looking utterly hopeless. "And twice a day!"

“It is necessary to temper one’s mind and body. You have been used to a life of luxury. If you want to take on great responsibilities, you must start from scratch and train hard.” Jingxin said with a straight face: “Only with a sincere mind and a pure body can one comprehend the Great Way.”

"How could I be used to my life? Let me tell you, I've survived the apocalypse twice." Gu Changge almost exploded: "I have no parents, I've done everything myself, how can I be used to a life of luxury?"

“You are very strong, therefore, although you suffer, you are only seeing things from your own perspective and from the perspective of the strong, and you can hardly understand the common people.” Jingxin said seriously, “If it were the previous difficulty, these skills would naturally be enough, but now they are inadequate.”

"The previous tribulation?" Gu Changge sensed something was amiss: "You know I'm from the rebirth point?"

Among these people, some were reborn individuals at first, while others had vague prophetic abilities. However, this information was only known to the state. Mingtai Temple was merely an accomplice of the state, so there was no reason for them to know these secrets.

“This humble monk does not know what rebirth is, but my senior brother has learned some skills and can predict the future. The fate of the lost owner changes with destiny, so the direction of his efforts must also change.” Jingxin bowed.

“If you turn and leave, it means you have no affinity with Mingtai Temple. But if you wish to stay, I will do my best to fulfill my duties.”
