Ultimately, Lu Xiaoyao, exhausted from the lack of a boxed lunch and already feeling weak from diarrhea, was left trembling as she drank a bowl full of virus-laden water. Now, holding a curved knife, she could only stand trembling before Mu Chen! (cascoo.net)

Given the strange cracks covering her body, several palace servants instinctively stepped in front of Mu Chen.

Those monsters look quite dangerous.

But this dancer looks pretty scary!

Lu Xiaoyao was completely unaware that her condition had frightened many people; her attention was already focused on her brother and Madison, who were surrounded by insects.

Lu Xiaoyao remembered the purpose of the boxed lunch, but unfortunately she didn't eat a single bite, so she couldn't experience the true power of the boxed lunch.

Meanwhile, the NPCs who had turned into insects were waving their newly formed, not-yet-agile insect legs, trying to use their sturdy, hammer-like pincers to strike directly at Madison's head.

Seeing Madison raise his hand to block, excitement flashed in the eyes of those insects. Even if he used his hand, it would be a comminuted fracture!

But just as Madison encountered the Zerg's pincers, a "ha" came from his voice, and then, for some unknown reason, the Zerg on the other side felt a sharp pain in its foot joint!

For a moment, everything went black. The next time it came to its senses, it saw its own huge pincers right in front of it, instantly snapping off its own head!

Even as it died, it didn't know why the pincers that were supposed to swing at the human in front of it and smash their head ended up on its own head, and it died first.

Mandison watched with excitement as the insectoid pincers, which had suddenly switched places with him, flew back to their original position due to inertia. He was incredibly excited to see the insectoid take care of itself!

Previously, when he saw these multi-legged Zerg creatures fighting him, some of their lower legs couldn't touch the ground, so they used their largest "leg" for main combat to support them online. That's when he had this bold conjecture!

While Lu Gui's fighting method also involves exchanging positions, it is more complicated than Madison's.

Faced with some of the Zerg's fierce attacks, Lu Gui discarded his scimitar and dagger, picked up the spears from the dead soldiers, and always used the spears to stab another Zerg nearby and exchange blows with him, resulting in several scenes of two Zerg fighting each other!

The two, temporarily out of danger, exchanged a glance from afar, and then realized—

Well, they probably don't actually have the same level of understanding as one might imagine.

...

"My God, a miniature version of the Starfire Insect..."

Mingmei was stunned as she stared at the Starfire Insect that had suddenly grown to over ten meters tall. She turned her head and happened to see Julian running over with a sword. Julian was also shocked by the scene before him, his mouth agape!

Mingmei and the enforcer both looked at Julian, who then looked at the two NPCs standing not far away, unsure of what to say.

ah?

Could it be that the Mysterious Merchant was also programmed with some kind of bug-catching mechanic?

And this Lord Cui, he's dressed like an ancient person, but what he's holding in his hand... Don't think he doesn't recognize what that is!

That pistol's design is way too cyberpunk!

"Hmm!"

Just as Julian was about to speak, he suddenly clutched his stomach, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, his whole body aching so much that he almost couldn't catch his breath!

"He's eaten too much virus."

While Mingmei was still wondering what was going on with Julian, the law enforcement officer gave her the answer, explaining to her what had happened with Julian.

"However, Yan Hui should have set up safety measures for the players, so it shouldn't explode."

The enforcer's gaze fell on the bluish-purple cracks on Julian's neck, then on the Starfire Insect, and he took two steps forward with a sudden change in demeanor.

The official uniform on the other person gradually disappeared, and was quickly replaced by a combat uniform from the Federal Army that Julian knew all too well.

"This is……"

Julian's pupils contracted sharply. It was true that "Lord Cui's" clothes were their Federation army's combat uniform, but they were not the combat uniforms currently used by the army.

The federal army's combat uniforms have been updated many times, and he had only seen this particular uniform in his father's closet.

Who exactly is this person... no, this NPC?!

Mingmei only noticed Julian's surprise and assumed he was astonished by the sudden transformation. But when she looked at the enforcer, his long hair gradually shortened, and in the soft light, Mingmei seemed to notice that his face had also changed.

It was no longer his father's face, but a face that could be blurred, a face that Mingmei would forget the next second after looking at it.

[Gui Gui, did you see the other person's face?]

[Host, you can't.] Ghost originally wanted to secretly scan the other party's data, but unexpectedly felt a powerful intimidation; it was a face that even it couldn't decompose.

Yan Hui appears to have implemented the highest level of data protection for him.

For the first time, Guigui changed its address for Yan Hui from "Mr. Yan Hui" to "Yan Hui" directly, and it began to suspect that Yan Hui might have done something dangerous and was hiding it from the mainframe.

"I think...we will meet again, but the next time we meet might be even more dangerous."

Suddenly, the law enforcement officer turned to Mingmei and said these words.

"You mean..." Mingmei paused slightly, as if realizing what the other person meant. She gripped the dagger tightly in her hand and turned her head to see the Starfire Insect suddenly flying rapidly into the sky!
