Chapter 149: Vermicular Splitting (Part 7)
Xie Mian stood high in the sky, silently watching the thriving scene in the base.
In a three-story courtyard built of mud, a mother was feeding the meat she had just received to her child in her arms. The next second, a rose appeared in the child's palm.
The mother cried with joy and kept saying words of gratitude:
"Thank you to the research institute, thank you to the base, thank you all!"
In another courtyard, there was a couple. The young man used insect energy to grow a red rose and gave it to the girl.
The girl stomped her foot coquettishly: "One is not enough, I want ninety-nine!"
An old woman is tending to the flowers on the fence.
She gently watered the roses on the ground...
The long sword grew longer and longer in his hand, and the blade became wider and wider, until it finally became like a giant object covering the sky and the sun.
The whole world suddenly went dark.
Everyone looked up at the sky in confusion.
Next second.
The blade clanged.
The huge clanging sound made the people below think that some insect monster was attacking the base. Before they could cover their ears with their hands, blood kept gushing out of their ears like tap water.
"My ears, my ears, I can't hear anything!"
"Damn, it's an insect-loving one, kill him!"
"How dare you hurt someone on the Xuanwu base? I think you're courting death!"
Someone roared, and in an instant, countless insects soared into the sky!
Delicate red roses blossomed in mid-air, their petals transforming into sharp blades, covering the sky. Their roots, like scarlet blood vessels, twined in all directions.
Xie Mian's eyes were cold as he looked down at the insect energy attacks that were rushing towards him.
These insect powers should only belong to my brother.
He took a bright red petal, which lay quietly in his palm.
Xie Mian clenched his fist, and when he opened his palm again, the petals had disappeared.
"Go to hell."
Quiet words start.
In an instant, heaven and earth were silent.
All the insect followers were speechless. They opened their mouths in horror, but no sound came out.
The storm formed by roses all over the sky disappeared as if it was swallowed by an invisible giant mouth when it approached within three meters of Xie Mian.
Xie Mian waved his hand and pressed the blade down.
The fear, astonishment, and confusion on the faces of those insect followers all froze.
Then, from their necks, to their waists and abdomens, and then to their limbs, tiny lines of blood quietly emerged.
"puff--"
No screams.
There was only the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
The crowd was like fish being cut into countless pieces in silence.
Warm blood and internal organs fell like rain, watering the roses blooming on the ground, making them even more beautiful.
One knife.
Just one knife.
So many people died.
This horrifying and suffocating scene terrified all the living people on the ground who witnessed it to the extreme.
He raised his hand and spread out his five fingers.
"Buzz—"
There was a slight tremor in the space.
A transparent barrier that is almost invisible to the naked eye rapidly expands with the underground palace as the center, and eventually forms a huge hemispherical shield that completely covers the entire underground palace area.
On the surface of the shield, there were fine blue and purple crackling sounds.
Insects can defend themselves.
Unless his protective shield can be torn open, no one can get close to my brother-in-law.
"Mianmian, I'll protect the underground palace."
"good."
Xie Mian's voice came from high above.
The butterfly wings behind him flapped violently, and the whole person turned into a stream of silver light. He no longer entangled with these small fries, but rushed straight to the core area of the base!
E Shifang's figure flashed and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Xie Mian, walking side by side with him.
“Boom!”
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the Xuanwu base.
Countless ordinary people who had just received "meat" from the material distribution center looked up in horror at the two lightning-fast figures in the sky.
"What's going on? Who is that?"
"They killed the guards! They are here to take away that criminal Lin Heng!"
…
The little wolf listened to what the people around him said and clenched his little fists tightly.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at the people talking around him.
These are the people!
These people who eat Brother Aheng's meat, instead of being grateful to him, complain and scold him.
"You all... deserve to die!"
The little wolf rushed towards the nearest person angrily and bit his arm hard like a wolf cub.
Bite off a piece of meat.
Green rose vines grew from his arms.
As the man screamed and tried to throw him off, he controlled the vines and pierced the man's heart.
…
Xuanwu Base, the highest administrative office.
The atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water was dripping out.
Around the huge conference table sat a dozen of the base's top officials.
Leading the group were three men.
Fu Ze's father, Fu Linchuan, has a resolute face, and his brows carry the majesty and murderous aura of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
Fu Ze's second uncle, Fu Linhai, the former head of the Xuanwu base, looks gentler than his brother Fu Linchuan, but the eyes behind the lenses reveal shrewdness and calculation.
And the head of the Si family, Si Sheng, an old man with gray hair, a haggard face, but a vigorous spirit.
Fu Ze sat below Fu Linchuan with an expressionless face.
"How can this be possible!"
A hot-tempered captain slammed the table and stood up.
"Just two people dared to break into my Xuanwu base! This is a great disgrace! Mr. Fu, please give the order! I will gather all the insect followers now and cut them into pieces!"
"Torn into pieces?" Fu Linhai sneered and pushed his glasses.
"Captain Wang, didn't you see the footage just transmitted? Hundreds of elite soldiers above Rank B were reduced to pulp without even a single blow from the enemy. How are you going to tear them to pieces? Are you going to use the lives of everyone in our base to pay for it?"
"Fu Linhai! You're only boosting others' morale and destroying your own!" Captain Wang shouted angrily. "Our Xuanwu base is now full of 'insect-lovers'! No matter how strong he is, his insect energy will eventually run out! We can wear them down even with a rotation of attacks!"
“That’s enough!”
Fu Linchuan shouted in a deep voice, his majestic gaze swept across the entire audience, and the two people who were arguing immediately shut up.
"Now is not the time to argue." Fu Linchuan's voice was cold. "What happened is very clear. These two people came here just for Lin Heng. One is called Xie Mian, an S-level healer. The other's ability is unknown, but equally terrifyingly powerful."
His eyes fell on his son Fu Ze with a hint of scrutiny.
"Fu Ze, you've met Xie Mian before. Now that this has happened, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fu Ze.
Fu Ze slowly raised his head, his face still looking gentle and elegant, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Father, I think Captain Wang is right, but Second Uncle's concerns are not unnecessary."
"These two are extremely powerful. If we confront them head-on, we'll suffer heavy losses. But if we leave them alone, the peace and order of the base will be destroyed."
He paused, then continued, "My suggestion is to lure them to Area C, where the complex terrain will restrict their movements to the greatest extent possible. Then, we must gather all our A-rank combat forces and use the terrain to our advantage to divide them and defeat them one by one. As for Xie Mian... his healing abilities are extremely valuable, so it would be best if we could capture him alive."
Fu Linchuan nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Si Sheng, the head of the Si family who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke slowly.
"Capture alive...Easier said than done."
His bony fingers tapped lightly on the table. "We must capture Xie Mian. But the other one, the man who controls gravity, is the real threat. Until we deal with him, any plan is meaningless."
His eyes were cloudy, but he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and finally fell on Fu Ze.
"Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Fu Ze, how are the preparations for your wedding with our Tian'er going? Everyone in the base is in a panic right now. A grand wedding can calm people down and demonstrate the unity of our families."
Fu Ze clenched his hands under the table so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
He still maintained a respectful smile on his face: "Everything is ready, just waiting for your nod, Grandpa Si."
"Haha, okay, okay!" Si Sheng smiled with satisfaction.
Just as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a girl in a pink dress ran in with a shy blush on her face.
It was Si Sheng’s granddaughter, Si Tianer.
She completely ignored the tense and solemn atmosphere in the conference room, ran straight to Fu Ze, and affectionately took his arm.
"Grandpa! How embarrassing it is for you to say this in front of everyone again!"
She raised her head, looked at Fu Ze with eyes full of admiration, and said softly, "Brother Aze, don't listen to my grandfather, he just likes to joke around."
