Chapter 206 Mutant Insects (33)

However, Lao Gao's supernatural energy is limited, and he has just experienced two (ant) battles. The fire he used at this time is really not very big. Even though he has surrounded the giant creature with a circle of fire, it has not been trapped at all. The giant creature just tried for a while, and then jumped out of the circle of fire, just like a circus performer.

Seeing that the force was not right, Ling Jiang took advantage of the moment it landed and used all his strength to freeze the legs of this giant creature.

The frozen legs did have an effect. When this huge creature wanted to jump again, the ice on its four legs held it back for a while.

But because this thing was too huge, the ice in Lingjiang could not freeze it for long, and it broke through the ice and jumped towards them again.

Huang Jinghe stepped forward and quickly sprayed a large amount of water in its direction. Ling Jiang used his ice ability in the air. The two of them tried their best to freeze the creature that jumped into the air into a huge ice sculpture. After a "dong" sound, it fell to the ice surface.

It definitely didn't break, and Huang Jinghe's Lingjiang would not allow it to break. Immediately, the two of them added water and ice to the ice surface, and sealed the huge creature on the ice surface.

But it was definitely not dead. Even though it was frozen in the ice, Lan Jin could see its eyes still moving, so she felt more relieved.

When the four of them were wondering what to do with this thing, Brother Zhang immediately contacted the base and said, "I've already notified them. Have them take the giant ant and... this thing back with them. Also, bring a few tires and a car..."

Speaking of cars, the giant creature just now destroyed more than just their car. They also have so many other things, and they can't do without a car. But it is actually very dangerous for them to stay where they are and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. After all, no one knows how many mutant creatures will come after this.

They can hold up for a while, but there are too many of them, or they are too dangerous, so they can't really care about anyone else.

But they definitely couldn't leave, so they simply cleaned up the place and then the four of them took out the crystals and started replenishing their abilities.

It is very simple to absorb the power of the crystal stone. It can be completed in a few minutes, and then the power and physical strength just consumed will be restored immediately.

…

Everyone knew very well what it meant to stay where they were, and everyone was on alert every minute and every second.

I just didn't expect the follow-up problems to come so soon.

Not long after the four of them absorbed the energy of the crystal, mosquito-like creatures flew out from the dead forest behind the ice.

These mosquitoes didn't grow much bigger, but there were too many of them. They didn't fill up every space like during an insect plague, but instead gathered in groups to attack a person. Lan Jin was speechless. What you fear will come true, even if it's just mosquitoes, it's disgusting.

And the most important thing is, "How come these mosquitoes haven't frozen to death yet in such a cold day?"

The key point is that these mosquitoes reminded her of the insect powder she hadn't seen before. Lan Jin fanned the insects in front of her and asked, "I always thought the insect powder sold outside was left over from the insect plague. After all, there's no such thing in winter. But now I'm a little unsure."

Brother Zhang said, "You're in J City so you don't know. In fact, in our H City, we were already selling insect powder during the insect plague. But at that time, there were no plants that could drive people crazy. Instead, they added industrial thickeners. But..., the subsequent factories didn't open again. After the thickeners were used up, shouldn't we think of other ways?"

As for why they chose to add that plant, that's unknown. After all, when they were sold previously, there weren't any problems with the food, so the base naturally acquiesced. Who knew it would become such a serious problem in the end? We sent many people to investigate, and after the residents went crazy, those people disappeared completely, and then... Oh, by the way, when we get to the weeding area later, we will definitely pass by that plant patch, and I'll show it to you then."

As for what Brother Zhang said, they all understood it. It was as if someone had planned it and just didn't want to say it out loud.

The four of them pretended to be curious and asked, "You actually started selling insect powder during the insect plague? Didn't we have food back then? Why are you still eating this?"

"We were stockpiling supplies. We needed supplies to enter the base, and this insect powder was just enough to replace food. That's why a lot of people sent it. The base despised it, but since it's edible, they had no choice but to accept it."

To be honest, it’s a good thing that there was no problem with that batch of insect powder, otherwise the H City base would have fallen long ago.

Seeing that there were more and more mosquitoes around, Lan Jin no longer had the heart to chat. However, before she could use her special ability, several soldiers took out insecticide and sprayed it at the mosquitoes. After a while, the mosquitoes fell to the ground, dying.

Lan Jin took a look, then looked at Brother Zhang. However, before she could speak, Brother Zhang said, "You can eat it, but you don't have to. We have food."

When these words were spoken, almost everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed out loud.

Lan Jin looked at him with a wry smile, "I know it's edible. I was just about to ask if it would be poisonous if I ate it after spraying it with pesticide. If not, it would be best if I didn't eat it. I don't like this stuff."

Although Lan Jin herself had never eaten it, the stench of it and the uncomfortable expression that Lao Gao made every time he ate it were definitely not something he could fake. Since there was food available, who would want to eat that stuff?

After dealing with this batch of mosquitoes, nothing difficult happened in the following period of time.

"Could it be that this thing is the most ferocious in this area, so the more ferocious creatures are basically gone." Huang Jinghe pointed at the huge creature trapped in the ice. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the fact that the place was so peaceful now.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he said it, it was as if he was being remembered, and worms crawled out of the dead forest.

These bugs didn't move very fast, but Lan Jin had said that what she feared most were creatures with no legs or many legs. These bugs happened to be the latter. Before the bugs could crawl over, she was so scared that she stepped on the chair she was sitting on. However, the chair was not high enough. Lan Jin said, "Oh my God, Ling Jiang, hurry up, make me taller. I want to stand on it. I'm scared. I'm really scared."

Lan Jin's reaction was so excited that many people didn't understand. It was obvious that the huge creature was more frightening in comparison. At that time, Lan Jin was calm and composed, and had no fear at all. Why did he become like a different person when he saw this insect?
