"I……"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Dongyang didn't dare to talk back after being rebuked by Lu Sheng.
The number of bees increased, gradually forcing everyone into a corner.
"Sweetie, use the ice wall to protect everyone inside. It should only last for two minutes."
Lu Sheng narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes, staring intently at the pregnant woman hiding behind the swarm of bees.
These bees aren't particularly lethal, but the queen bee continuously produces new blood to replenish their fighting strength, which is why the stalemate has lasted so long.
I tried my best!
Sun Tiantian just reached level four this morning, and she's not very proficient with high-consumption skills yet, so she can only do her best.
A towering ice wall rose from the ground with her gesture, eventually wrapping upwards to form an arched enclosure.
This effectively protected everyone inside the wall.
"I'll hold off the swarm, you go and deal with the queen bee."
Xu Yi leaped out of the ice wall and stood beside Lu Sheng, saying something.
"good."
Lu Sheng trusted Xu Yi completely; he wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident about.
Enveloped in the electric grid, Lu Sheng swiftly passed through the swarm of bees and rushed toward the only queen bee.
As she got closer, she realized that the woman in front of her was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her mature attire made everyone mistake her age.
The girl's delicate features still revealed her former pretty and charming appearance, but her pupils had turned gray, and her mandibles on her lower jaw trembled incessantly.
Her clothes were torn in several places, revealing deep and shallow scars on her body, as well as some old and new cigarette burns.
He was a pitiful, unfortunate person.
Buzzing.
The queen bee pounced on Lu Sheng with lightning speed, her sharp mandibles like an electric drill, stirring up a gust of wind.
Lu Sheng turned sideways and kicked off the long mandibles, then stabbed the queen bee in the slightly bulging abdomen with a backhand.
A burnt smell wafted over, and the electric arc also wiped out the unborn bee larvae.
Lu Sheng wiped the blade on the queen bee's clothes, then turned around and found that the swarm, now without reinforcements, had been wiped out by Xu Yi's white phosphorus bombs and Lü Song's fireball.
"Please use your brain next time, listen to advice and eat your fill, so that Lu Sheng won't have to clean up your mess again."
Ma Dongmei glared fiercely at Dongyang.
Su Zheng knew he owed Lu Sheng a favor this time, so he offered to let everyone rest for a while and have lunch, while the rest of the search work would be done by the people from the K3 base.
He sent Dongyang's team out to make amends, while the rest stayed in the lobby on the first floor and found two tables to eat.
"Come to me for lunch."
As soon as I sat down, I heard Su Ke's crisp voice.
She drew a circle with her palm facing up, and a row of simple boxed lunches appeared on the table.
Lu Sheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and realized that Su Ke was a spatial ability user.
After Su Ke took out the lunchbox, she pouted and glanced at Lu Sheng with a rather unfriendly look in her eyes.
"Is this girl out of her mind...?" Zhang Xiaojuan glanced at her and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Why didn't she just put the pig she stole in her spatial storage last time? Why did she have to put it in her pocket and let you guys find out?"
"Many people with kleptomania come from wealthy families. They don't lack money; they just enjoy the thrill of stealing."
Xu Yi wiped the submachine gun clean and put it away, then adjusted his glasses and said, "It's the risk that creates anticipation and excitement."
"I can't understand the thought process of rich people." Zhang Xiaojuan looked away dejectedly, then turned to look at Han Rui. "You don't have any weird quirks either, do you?"
As they were talking, Lin Xiaobao had already brought over all the supplies that had been allocated to their side.
The meals were provided according to the number of people, and each person also received a small bottle of clean water.
The boxed lunch had gone cold; it seems Su Ke's space only has storage functions, not preservation functions.
"Let's eat together. If there are any dishes you don't like, we can switch them up."
Sun Tiantian placed the boxed lunches in the middle of the table, and her smile froze the moment she opened the lid.
She was overthinking it; there was absolutely no room for choosing the meal.
The boxed lunch contained only a plate of stewed potato slices with no oil at all, and a hard, dry bean flour pancake.
The potato slices were cut as thick as Sun Tiantian's fingers, and they looked incredibly crunchy.
"That's it?" Zhang Xiaojuan couldn't help but complain.
It's a large base with 40,000 people, and the prince and princess are only given boiled potato slices when they come out to carry out missions!
"Emm... The grain harvest at the base hasn't been very good lately, and the livestock industry has also encountered a bottleneck, so the base commander has restricted the food rations for everyone in the military region, including Su Zheng and Su Ke."
Lin Xiaobao smiled and explained to the group of people.
"I have an extra dish here for you."
As they were talking, Su Zheng came over from another table and placed a plate of dry, fried chicken on Lu Sheng and the others' table.
Looking at the unappetizing side dish, Sun Tiantian and the others couldn't help but reminisce about the last delicious beef rice they had at the mountain base.
This K3 base is so poor! Even the young master can only afford stir-fried chicken as a side dish!
Seemingly sensing what the others were thinking, Su Zheng explained somewhat awkwardly, "The main members of the K3 base are soldiers and police officers, and the personnel recruited later also lack professional talent. Planting and breeding have never broken through the technical barriers."
"What! You're complaining? This is the apocalypse! Who gets to eat stir-fried chicken now?!"
Su Ke retorted with dissatisfaction from the other side.
Her behavior was completely that of a rebellious child, her little face full of a desire to show off.
"When you were homeless, you couldn't even afford stir-fried vegetables and meat, could you?"
After saying that, she gave Lu Sheng a provocative look.
Although she hadn't left the base much, she had heard about the situation outside from others.
Let alone chicken, even ordinary potatoes and cabbage are considered hearty dishes!
Lu Sheng glanced at her, then indifferently took off his backpack.
She took out several boxes of self-heating rice and several boxes of semi-finished pizzas that she had just found in her online space yesterday.
"good."
She picked up Spray and pinched its neck a couple of times.
The small, blazing flames quickly baked the semi-finished pizza until it was fragrant and steaming hot.
The rich aroma of cheese filled the air, and the K3 group subconsciously sniffed, their mouths watering instantly.
This is the apocalypse! Ordinary people can't even get enough to eat, yet these people casually produce so many fragrant self-heating rice and pizzas!
The pizza was overflowing with meat! The self-heating rice was filled with fragrant, glistening meat broth and large chunks of meat!
That's meat! Meat that the entire base had almost forgotten how to taste!
What made the others even more envious was that Lu Sheng actually took out two more sausages and gave them to Penpen, and also took out a whole piece of braised beef and gave it to Zhuangzhuang.
People are starving, so why should this pig and cat get to eat?!
"Lu Sheng, don't you think it's too cruel to feed Penpen sausages?" Zhang Xiaojuan couldn't help but ask with a strange look.
Isn't this just plain and simple eating of my second uncle?
"It's okay, I gave him chicken sausage."
Just as the group was enjoying their meal, someone suddenly ran over in a panic.
"That mark was found on the queen bee!"
