Chapter 496 498 Frozen
Non-combatants had been evacuated, and flames from flamethrowers chased the four flying clouds of insects.
"Qingyun, it seems that ordinary fire can't deal with these insects. Is there any other way?" Yan Zishu shouted loudly in the direction of Ning Qingyun while spitting fire.
"I don't know! Ask those professors if they have any powerful insecticides in the pharmaceutical research institute?" Ning Qingyun used black fire to deal with insects, and it was very efficient. He only realized at this moment that ordinary flames could not kill insects.
"Captain, our bulletproof vests can't hold up, and two people have been bitten by insects!" a soldier reported.
"Go ask the professor outside if they have any pesticides?" Yan Zishu was extremely anxious.
At this moment, "Pa pa pa," the sound of neat footsteps came from outside, "Great, Captain, support is coming!"
The new support team replaced the soldiers whose bulletproof vests were damaged, and the fire attack became more intense. Although the bugs could not be eliminated, the intensive fire suppression concentrated the bugs in a fixed defense circle, preventing them from running around.
"Captain, Professor Fang said this is the most toxic insecticide in the pharmaceutical research institute. It is highly corrosive and must not come into contact with the skin when used. If the gas mask is damaged, it is best to hold your breath to prevent inhalation." The soldier who had just run to inquire about the insecticide brought back a bottle of spray.
"Give it to me!" A captain who came to support grabbed the spray and jumped into the defense circle.
"Be careful." Yan Zishu reminded.
The captain made a clear gesture and walked straight towards the insect cloud.
Ning Qingyun kept mobilizing black fire to burn the roots of the dead blood tree. Half of the big insects attached to the roots had been burned to ashes, and the remaining active big insects were still spewing out. The spiritual energy in Ning Qingyun's body gradually dried up, and he felt dizzy. If the pesticide could kill these insects, it might also be effective on the big insects.
After Rong Xianxian handed the flamethrower to Yan Zishu, she took the children and researchers to stay in the drug research laboratory outside the botanical garden. There was a sturdy glass in this room through which one could see the scene inside the botanical garden.
Professor Fang looked at the flames rising from the direction of the blood-dead tree and muttered to himself, "No, if it keeps burning like this, the tree will surely be burned to death. We still don't understand why the insect-shaped relief could turn into a living insect after being buried in the ground. We can't let them burn the tree to death like this!" He muttered as he opened the door and walked out.
The old professor only saw flames rising into the sky over there and thought that the army had the upper hand. However, Rong Xianxian saw that Ning Qingyun's spiritual energy was running out and the situation over there was not optimistic.
When she saw Professor Fang walking out, she took a few quick steps to block him and waved her hand in front of him. Professor Fang's body softened and he fell backwards. Mingyan had already received Rong Xianxian's signal and supported him before he fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" The students led by Professor Fang glared at Rong Xianxian and questioned.
"What are you doing?" Chen Lishu took a few steps forward and stood not far from Rong Xianxian.
There were a dozen or so members of the Tianhe Mercenary Group who had just left the room to rest. Seeing this, they all stood up and stared at the researchers with unfriendly eyes.
"Mingyan, protect Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo. No one is allowed to step out of the room until the crisis is over!" After Rong Xianxian gave the instructions, she left the room and walked towards the dead blood tree.
"What's a woman doing showing off?" A researcher who took Professor Fang over muttered in dissatisfaction.
Chen Lishu took a few steps forward and grabbed the man's clothes, "How about? You go."
The man looked around, and seeing that no one came to help, he shut his mouth in disappointment.
Rong Xianxian walked straight to Ning Qingyun and put a spirit stone into his hand.
She pointed her palm at the big bugs that were spewing blood nematodes at the roots of the tree, and the icy force poured out. The big bugs, along with the blood nematodes that kept spewing out, were frozen.
Ning Qingyun took this opportunity to quickly absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. In just a moment, the empty meridians in his body were filled again.
Previously, blood nematodes flew out from the roots of the tree continuously. Pesticides had no effect on them at all. Clouds of worms gradually gathered into a sea of worms. The defense circle composed of fire suppression and flamethrower sprays could no longer be maintained. Yan Zishu had been paying attention to the source of worms at the roots of the tree. He had long seen Rong Xianxian freezing the blood nematodes. Yan Zishu was overjoyed, "Doctor Rong, come over here to support us. We can't hold on any longer!"
Rong Xianxian did not hesitate and walked into the defense circle, releasing the icy force at the sea of insects. With a slight "cracking" sound, the sea of insects gradually froze, and the winged and scale-covered blood nematodes were frozen in the ice.
Rong Xianxian faced the fiery gazes from everyone around her and said calmly, "This ice layer can only trap these bugs for three minutes at most. After three minutes, you have to continue suppressing them with firepower!"
It is unknown what species these insects are, but they have very strong vitality. The ice layer created by Rong Xianxian can only trap them. Moreover, the larger the area of the ice layer, the smaller the killing power of the ice force.
"Ah!" someone screamed in disappointment.
"Check your weapons, reload your ammunition, take a short rest, and prepare for another battle." Yan Zishu gave the order.
Rong Xianxian used the power of ice to create an ice layer, buying time for Ning Qingyun and Yan Zishu to take a break and replenish their energy and restore their spiritual energy. Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, all the blood nematodes were eliminated.
After this crisis, everyone is exhausted.
Yan Zishu panted and said to Ning Qingyun, "This dead blood tree is so difficult to deal with. I really can't imagine how you walked out of the dead forest?"
"Do you have any secret weapon?" Yan Zishu approached Ning Qingyun and asked him in a low voice.
"In that dead forest, I can run away. But here, I'm afraid these bugs will run away. Would it be as difficult?" Ning Qingyun replied.
Even if you are close friends, secrets that should be kept must never be revealed.
"We were able to resolve this crisis today thanks to the two of you working together. One freezes and the other burns them. It's a perfect combination." Yan Zishu said with emotion. These insects cannot be shot by guns or killed by fire. They are tiny and can fly. They can make people lose their minds when they get into the human body. It's really scary.
Many rare medicinal herbs were originally planted in this botanical garden, but all of them were robbed of their vitality by the roots of the dead blood tree.
The botanical garden was littered with dead branches and leaves, as well as many pieces of black ash left by fire. There were bullet holes on the ground from various types of bullets. The botanical garden, which was once lush and full of exotic flowers and plants, now looked very dilapidated.
