Chapter 93: The stench turns to filth (V)
Although E Shifang was unable to speak, Xie Mian already understood what E Shifang meant.
He wanted to confront Chen Rong head-on.
"Is it really possible?"
Xie Mian was still a little worried, afraid the eggshell would break. Goose Shifang quickly bounced twice like a ping-pong ball to show him not to worry.
"All right."
He picked up Goose Shifang with one hand and threw him out like a bowling ball.
Goose Shifang's round body hit the hard snail shell. With a crack, the shell broke and mucus splashed everywhere.
Chen Rongsheng screamed and crawled out of the broken shell, his body covered with smelly mucus, like a skinned worm.
Xie Mian didn't give him a chance to breathe. With a flash of the knife, Chen Rongsheng's head rolled to the ground.
Then he swung the knife again, and the knife cut through Chen Rongsheng's chest.
The insect stone shattered and black blood gushed out.
"You actually killed him! How could you kill him!"
Mo Hongmei rushed out screaming, her voice shrill and angry.
She knelt beside Chen Rongsheng's body, first crying loudly and hysterically, then with a distorted face, she stretched out her mouthparts and stabbed them into Chen Rongsheng's flesh.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
She sucked up all the flesh, blood, bones, and mucus.
Chen Rongsheng's body quickly shriveled up, and in the end only a wrinkled human skin was left.
Mo Hongmei carefully picked up the skin, smoothed out the wrinkles affectionately, folded it carefully, and put it into her bra.
She looked up at Xie Mian, her eyes filled with resentment.
"I remember who you are..." She grinned, revealing her white teeth, "You're that little bitch."
"When the little bitch grows up, she becomes a big bitch." She giggled, her voice cold and harsh, "I'm going to kill you—"
Xie Mian's expression did not change, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that when he was in the orphanage, Mo Hongmei always called him "little bitch, little bitch" and wanted to scratch his face.
He was too young at that time and didn't understand why Mo Hongmei did this. Now he understood that it was jealousy.
Mo Hongmei was jealous of those good-looking children, jealous that they would attract the dean's attention and be "favored" by the dean.
As far as he knew, Mo Hongmei had her own husband and children. So what was the relationship between her and Chen Rongsheng?
Secret love + cheating?
Xie Mian thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
Regardless of whether the relationship between her and Chen Rongsheng is legitimate or not, he will take his life today.
One is his former self; the other is the children who suffered torture at his hands.
Goose Shifang was shaking with anger in his shell, roaring in his heart: "How dare you scold my wife?!" He immediately gathered his strength, ready to throw an egg to fly over and smash Mo Hongmei's head.
Xie Mian noticed his intention, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said lightly: "Don't, it stinks."
Hearing Xie Mian's disdainful words, Mo Hongmei's mouth twisted violently.
She suddenly arched her body, her abdomen contracted violently, and then there was a "puff" sound.
A ball of thick green turbid air gushed out from her body and instantly filled the entire space.
The pungent smell of decay penetrated the clothes and hit the nose.
Xie Mian frowned and quickly held his breath, but his eyes were still slightly red from the smoke.
"You little bitch...you think you can kill me?"
Mo Hongmei's voice was erratic in the poisonous fart, her figure was looming, and several mouthparts suddenly shot out from the mist, heading straight for Xie Mian's throat!
Xie Mian dodged sideways and slashed with his long sword. With a flash of cold light, the two mouthparts broke and mucus splattered.
But more mouthparts came from all directions, as flexible and cunning as a poisonous snake.
"E Shifang." Xie Mian whispered.
In an instant, a light purple light shield suddenly unfolded, isolating the poisonous fog outside.
Goose Shifang was suspended on Xie Mian's shoulder, the eggshell was slightly shining, and the protective shield was firmly protecting the two of them.
Mo Hongmei's mouthparts hit the light shield, making a harsh friction sound, but could not penetrate.
Xie Mian's eyes turned cold, and he flipped his long sword, a cold gleam on the blade. He grasped the sword with both hands within the light shield and slashed down fiercely.
The knife flashed like lightning, going straight for Mo Hongmei's throat!
Mo Hongmei screamed and leaned back suddenly, while her abdomen contracted again, trying to release another poisonous fart to interfere.
But Xie Mian had already predicted it, and without stopping the knife, he turned his wrist and slashed the blade upwards at an angle.
——Puff!
The long knife pierced Mo Hongmei's abdomen and nailed her to the wall.
Black blood flowed down the blade, and she stared at Xie Mian in disbelief with wide eyes.
"You...how could you..."
Xie Mian had no expression on his face. He twisted his wrist and the blade cut across her body, completely crushing her internal organs and also crushing the insect stone.
"It's just poisonous fart." He said lightly.
Mo Hongmei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she only spat out a mouthful of dirty blood and her head drooped weakly.
Xie Mian drew back his sword, shook off the blood on it, and frowned in disgust:
"E Shifang, the knife seems to be smelly... I want to throw it away..."
well!
Goose Shifang staggered, holding the stinking long sword with the eggshell, and followed Xie Mian in a hopping manner.
Xie Mian took off his equipment as he walked, throwing his mask, scarf, and jacket behind him one by one, vowing not to leave any trace of bad smell on his body.
Lin Heng has already taken the group of children to a safe area.
When Xie Mian approached, he saw more than twenty children sitting like puppets with empty eyes.
Their small bodies curled up together, as if their souls had been taken away and only their shells remained.
Xie Mian took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands.
A light green light flowed out from his palm like a gentle stream, enveloping the children one by one.
Wherever the light reached, the children's pale cheeks gradually became rosy, and their dull eyes began to shine.
The lame little boy who stole something yesterday was the first to come to his senses.
He timidly walked up to Xie Mian and Lin Heng, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have stolen anything..."
Several other children who woke up also came over to apologize.
Lin Heng squatted down and gently rubbed the little boy's messy hair: "It's okay."
The little boy took out a small piece of dry bread from his pocket, which he had secretly hidden.
"This... is back to you..."
Xie Mian pushed the bread back into his hands and said, "Eat it."
Lin Heng and Xie Mian took the stove from the car and cooked a big pot of hot food.
The children sat together and ate with relish.
Watching them wolfing down the food, Xie Mian and Lin Heng quietly discussed the resettlement plan.
"More than 20 children, we need to find a safe place first..."
"In this apocalypse, where is there a safe place? How about we take them back to base first?"
"Over at the base..."
The discussion gradually died down.
The two exhausted people fell asleep leaning against the wall without realizing it.
Late at night, Xie Mian and Lin Heng were awakened by a painful groan.
The two men sat up suddenly, and the scene before them made their blood freeze.
The children's legs were melting into transparent insect tails, with long thin tail threads extending from their abdomens and white membranous wings bulging behind them.
Their faces were distorted, as if something was about to grow out of them.
Xie Mian rushed over and hugged the lame little boy. At the same time, he unleashed his healing insect energy to envelop all the children.
The child's body trembled violently in his arms.
"Big Brother... I don't want to die..." The little boy's voice was as soft as a mosquito. After a while, he continued, "But... living is more painful than dying..."
Xie Mian felt a warm liquid sliding across his cheek.
The little boy raised his insect-like hand and gently wiped away his tears: "Brother... please don't save us anymore... it's useless... there were kind people who saved us before..."
Before he finished speaking, the little boy's body suddenly became light and transparent.
His head became long and narrow, mouthparts grew on his face, and he eventually turned into a tiny insect.
The other children also completed their transformation into insects one after another. More than twenty tiny insects lay lightly on the ground, motionless.
"This is a mayfly... The children have transformed into mayflies." Lin Heng said in pain, "Why is this happening?"
Xie Mian knelt on the ground, the last warmth of the little boy still lingering in his palms.
The night passed very slowly, and I didn’t know how long it took before the first rays of morning light appeared.
Xie Mian was a little stunned to find that the body of the little mayfly in his arms had disappeared, and the other bodies on the ground had also disappeared.
"them……"
Just as Xie Mian was about to speak, a finger gently touched his lips.
"Shh-"
Xie Mian followed Lin Heng's gaze and saw a lame little boy sneaking towards the trunk of a car to take something.
