Purple star beetle (9)

When Xia Shuxing heard Shi Jianxia's words, he looked at her, then looked at her again, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and acted like an inconspicuous mute.

Shi Jianxia naturally treated him as air and ignored his hesitant expression.

Jun Xiaoyi copied the data from the recording chip and sent it to everyone present. They each looked for clues, and the conclusion they finally came to was almost the same as his guess.

In addition, everyone searched the hospital inside and out. There were obvious signs of sudden attack in both the outpatient department and the inpatient department, but there were no parasites. It seemed that they were all torn to pieces by the long-haired monster.

After searching the hospital, a whole day had passed. Shi Jianxia and others said goodbye to the Fengyan Military Academy team. However, Shi Wuyu had no intention of leaving to find his teammates. He even said that he felt safe following them.

His relationship with Jun Xiaoyi seemed to have become much closer after the previous battle. They were always whispering together, but no one knew what they were whispering about.

With the help of the cubs, the exploration mission of the insect-occupied area map went smoothly.

Shi Wu Yu saw a bunch of small mountains flying around Shi Jian Xia and a group of strange beast cubs jumping up and down. His pupils were almost shaking. He finally realized what Jun Xiaoyi meant when he said, "Xia Xia has everything you want." Tears of envy flowed from the corners of his mouth.

What a mimic! What a cute furry thing! Why doesn’t he have it! He! Doesn’t! Have it!

No matter how much he salivated, it was impossible for him to reawaken his mimicry.

-

After completing the three tasks assigned for the midterm exam, with most of the exam time remaining, and the rules strictly prohibiting leaving the exam room early, Shi Wuyu originally wanted to find a crooked tree to lie down and take a nap, but then he saw Shi Jianxia take out a space bracelet from his space bracelet.

Tricolor pheasant.

The tricolor pheasant is an excellent food ingredient with a very delicious taste and is very popular among gourmets.

This tri-colored pheasant had died not long ago. It was obvious that its neck had been cut in advance and put into the space bracelet. The time in the space bracelet is still. Any object will look the same when it is put in as when it is taken out.

Jun Xiaoyi was also confused for a moment: "What are you doing? Having a picnic in the exam room?"

The proposed association has clear regulations prohibiting people with special abilities from eating anything other than nutrient solution in insect-occupied areas, to prevent insect eggs or larvae from entering the body through the mouth and implanting and growing in the person's body.

Even the head instructor observing their team's exam straightened up, ready to warn the brats to stop messing around. But before he could connect to Shi Jianxia's AI, she said, "How is that possible? I don't even want to drink the nutrient solution in a place like this."

She grinned at the puzzled looks of the others and said, "I'm going to start fishing now."

Shi Jianxia carried the tricolor pheasant and placed it in the dry fountain pool in the small square. He slashed it several times with Zhu Yan's long sword. Blood flowed out and a faint smell of blood drifted away in the wind.

Jun Xiaoyi guessed what she was going to do the fastest. With a slight twitch of his lips, he decisively retreated into the distance.

If you are a weakling, don't hold us back here.

Shi Wuyu was surprised and asked, "Are you going to lure the parasite over here?"

Zerg parasites have a strong desire for flesh and blood. They can smell the bloody smell in the air from a long distance away and will come over driven by their bloodthirsty instincts. Therefore, people with special abilities will try their best to avoid getting hurt when entering Zerg-occupied areas.

Xia Shuxing thought of all the exploits Shi Jianxia had done since he entered Nan Teng Military Academy. He was silent for a moment, but he did not retreat like Jun Xiaoyi. Instead, he took the initiative to move forward and said, "I'll help you."

In fact, he wanted to say that he had plenty of insect crystals and star coins, and if Shi Jianxia was in great need, he could give her some.

But on second thought, Shi Jianxia was still brooding over the fact that he bullied her when they were children. If he dared to act like "I'm not short of money, I'll give you whatever you want", Shi Jianxia might beat his head off.

If Shi Jianxia knew that he wanted to use insect crystals and star coins to ease the relationship, the few beatings on the account would not be negotiable.

Wen Qiuqiu and Shi Jianxia lived in the same dormitory, so they naturally knew how quickly the youngsters consumed their insect crystals. They also came over and said, "I'll help you too."

Shi Wuyu glanced at the three people standing by the fountain, then looked at Jun Xiaoyi who had already found a tree to climb up, and stuffed a bunch of bottles and jars at Shi Jianxia and the others, "These are all good things, you can make do with them, I won't accompany you anymore."

After he stuffed the medicine into his mouth, he ran to Jun Xiaoyi's side.

After swiftly climbing up the tree, he discovered Jun Xiaoyi still reading the data in the recording chip. He asked curiously, "What's so interesting about this? Didn't we already figure out the general situation?"

Jun Xiaoyi touched his chin and said, "I always feel like something is not right."

Shi Wuyu raised his index finger and said, "The outbreak of the insect plague was sudden and uncontrollable, otherwise it wouldn't have affected such a large area. But based on the information we have, we can only speculate that the culprit is the mutated purple star beetle parasites underground."

"You know, the hospital is full of surveillance cameras. Even if something really happened in the morgue, the hospital's security system wouldn't be completely unresponsive."

"Furthermore, since those semi-parasites came to Renxin Hospital as treatment targets, why were they placed in the morgue? The morgue is where the dead are stored."

Jun Xiaoyi was suddenly enlightened by these words. He said in surprise, "You mean those semi-parasites should have been placed in the ward. Only in this way, if they suddenly transformed into parasites, the hospital would not be able to react in time, resulting in large-scale casualties."

Soon, he frowned again, "But if that's the case, why are there so many parasites kept in the morgue?"

It's impossible that the instructors did this on purpose to facilitate their investigation.

There is not much point in doing so, because the chip is placed in the groove of the damaged cold chamber. As long as they search carefully, they can get useful information from the recording chip even if there are no monsters in the morgue.

Since the instructors have issued the task of investigating the cause of the insect outbreak, it is impossible for them to add unnecessary details to the original incident. Instead, they should try their best to restore the scene before the hospital was investigated by the Zerg Investigation Department.

It can be inferred from this that the parasites were originally placed in the morgue by the hospital.

Jun Xiaoyi looked at Shi Wuyu, "What do you think?"

Shi Wuyu spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. The above are also questions I haven't figured out."

Jun Xiaoyi frowned slightly, "In this case, doesn't that mean our third mission is unfinished?"

Shi Wuyu sat on the tree trunk, his legs dangling, and swayed slowly. "I don't think so. There are no more obvious clues in the hospital. We have searched everywhere for the past two days and haven't found any other places where the insect plague may have broken out."

"Perhaps the Zerg Investigations Bureau's findings are the same as what we have discovered now, and these are also their unanswered questions."

Jun Xiaoyi was still a little hesitant, "Will the answers to the exam questions be so full of doubts?"

"Of course not. Don't forget, this is just a midterm exam, and it's a midterm exam for freshmen." Shi Wu Yu blinked.

He then asked, "That long-haired monster in the underground morgue is a level five parasite. How many freshmen in our two schools are level five users?"

To be a Level 5 esper in his freshman year, what a remarkable talent! Since the founding of the five major military academies in the Federation, the number of people with such abilities can be counted on one hand.

The vast majority of people are only level two or three ability users. To them, the long-haired parasite in the underground morgue is a seriously overpowered opponent, not to mention the many mutant parasites in the other morgues.

Being able to enter the underground morgue and obtain the recording chip has already exceeded the mission, not to mention that Shi Jianxia and Xia Shuxing also killed the long-haired parasite.

The two of them were seriously discussing the completion of Task 3, while Shi Jianxia and the other two had already caught the first parasite.

The stronger the parasite, the sharper its sense of smell. This parasite that is crawling towards us has a strength of level four.

Shi Jianxia whistled, "Time to live, family!"

Wen Qiuqiu and Xia Shuxing did not hesitate. One controlled the purple flower chain, and the other held the Azure Sea Dragon Spear. They rushed forward and started beating him up. At this time, Xia Yi also joined the battle holding the Zhu Yan sword.

How could the parasite be a match for three people? After forcibly blocking a few blows, Xia Shuxing shot it in the head and it died.

The nine-tailed fox and 朏朏 rushed out, found the insect crystals and put them into the small gauze bags that Shi Jianxia had hung around their necks.

This was prepared by Shi Jianxia when he took them to the Linhai Quarantine Station, so that they would not have to run back and forth after finding the insect crystals.

Every time, the kids would collect a full small gauze bag and then return to the storage box to pour the collected insect crystals into it. Their efficiency was quite high.

After dealing with the first parasite, the few of them encountered three more groups of parasites. Each of them fought one and harvested three more insect t crystals.

In the exam room, Chief Instructor Feng Yan came up to Chief Instructor Nan Teng and said, "Wow, you still have extra time to hunt down the parasites. The exam is really too easy."

Chief Instructor Nan Teng scolded with a smile: "Little bastard!"

"A-choo!" Shi Jianxia sneezed violently, his hands trembled, and he failed to kill the parasite in time.

It roared and tried to counterattack, but Mount Buzhou turned from the other side and hit it, causing its expression to become distorted and it fell to the ground, twitching and unable to move.

Shi Jianxia smiled and said, "Good boy~"

Buzhoushan happily came over to rub against her, and then helped to hunt other parasites.

Soon, another group of non-parasitic insects were attracted by the smell of blood. They looked very similar to earthworms and secreted a sticky liquid on their body surface. When they jumped out of the ground, they almost bit the unsuspecting Xia Shuxing.

Fortunately, the unicorn reacted quickly and rushed over in time to lift the man onto his back and avoid the sneak attack.

Xia Shuxing touched the soft hair of the unicorn and touched it subconsciously.

So soft! So comfortable! And so beautiful!

Behind them, the earthworm-like Zerg opened its huge round mouth covered with spikes, roared, and twisted its body as it rushed towards them!

Xia Shuxing immediately withdrew his thoughts that were drawn away by the unicorn. Seeing that the earthworms were about to bite him, he quickly took out the slowing potion that Shi Wuyu had given him and threw it at it.

The potion shattered, and the glass bottle turned into energy fragments and disappeared. The liquid medicine touched the earthworm and was quickly absorbed by it.

But its speed not only did not slow down, but increased by more than double. The huge black mouth of its original form snorted and bit off a strand of hair from the unicorn's tail. Xia Shuxing was so scared that he quickly grabbed the long hair floating behind him.

His pupils trembled, and he roared at Shi Wuyu, who was sitting on a tree trunk with Jun Xiaoyi in the distance, eagerly watching the fun: "Shi Wuyu! You bastard! Are you deliberately trying to trick me?"

Shi Wuyu's heart trembled when he was yelled at. When Jun Xiaoyi looked at him with an indescribable look, he coughed lightly and said, "Mistake! Mistake!"

He snapped his fingers, and a weakness potion appeared out of thin air. Just as he was about to pour it, Jun Xiaoyi quickly pinched his wrist and reminded him, "This color... is a strengthening potion."

Shi Wuyu: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then controlled the potion bottle and poured the potion on Xia Shuxing.
