"I haven't seen enough yet, why are you running away?"
Lu Sheng pulled out a composite crossbow and shot an arrow through Zhao Yong's knee.
Zhao Yong let out a wail and swayed before collapsing to the ground.
Countless black larvae converged into a black tide, rapidly surging towards Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei's exposed skin was immediately covered by a swarm of insects. Soon, countless more larvae emerged from his skin and joined the swarm.
Fresh blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere, creating a bloody and horrific scene.
The clicking sounds from the several mouthparts made everyone present feel a pang of sympathy.
Upon seeing this, Xu Chunhua and Zhao Lei's companions immediately abandoned the mother and child and fled. But the spider larvae were too fast.
These people had only run two or three meters when they were overtaken by the swarm of insects.
"Ah! Help!"
The frenzied spider larvae quickly swarmed all the members of the stranded team. These tiny spiders were everywhere, crawling into cuffs and trouser legs and frantically gnawing at flesh.
These people were quickly overwhelmed by the spider larvae and collapsed to the ground, rolling around and begging for help.
Their luggage was scattered on the ground, its contents rolling everywhere.
These people found that the swarm of insects could not take a single step into the safe zone, so they scrambled to the outside of the barrier, wailing and begging Lu Sheng and the others for help.
"Please, please let me in!"
Xu Chunhua and Zhao Lei were eaten down to their upper bodies, dragging their two white thigh bones as they lay on the ground.
"Lu Sheng! Open the door for your aunt! Your aunt knows she was wrong!"
"We're family! We're your only family!"
Lu Sheng lazily lifted her eyelids, her cold eyes devoid of any emotion. "When you tried to seize the house, you never considered that we were family."
"Should we help them? The others are innocent, right..." Han Rui turned her head away, feeling a little sorry for them.
"Help? First, take a look at what's in your luggage." Lu Sheng calmly petted the cat.
"This is..." Han Rui squinted and stared for a while, then her face suddenly turned pale.
"The luggage was full of human flesh..."
Those waxy red cylinders that rolled onto the edge of the safe zone were actually human legs used to make cured meat...
"vomit……"
Han Rui and Sun Tiantian almost threw up their dinner from yesterday.
I thought these people were innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire, but it turns out they're a bunch of cannibals!
No wonder these people still had color in their faces; they'd been committing cannibalism for a long time! That cured meat leg looked like it'd been drying in the sun for at least half a month!
Soon, the people screaming and howling outside the safe zone were devoured and reduced to bare bones.
The well-fed spider larvae tentatively bumped into the safe zone, but after being bounced back by the barrier a few times, they cleverly migrated as a group.
After Lu Sheng ordered the zombie security guards to clear away the corpses at the entrance, he got up to greet the remaining few people whose faces were pale.
"The insect swarm is coming; we need to start preparing."
After the acid rain ended, several days of intense heat provided excellent growing conditions for the mutated plants lurking underground.
In just a few days, these adapted weeds had grown wildly to knee-high. The green trees outside the safe zone had grown into towering giants.
These lush green plants further facilitated the development and invasion of insect swarms.
Sun Tiantian forced herself to suppress her nausea, "There have been very few insects in the capital these past two years, not even butterflies or dragonflies. Could there really be an insect swarm?"
"Previously, acid rain served as a natural barrier, but now that the only natural enemy has disappeared, the mutated insects that have been dormant for an entire season will rapidly multiply and grow stronger."
"Friendly reminder: in addition to common varieties, there are also some unheard-of variants. For example, earthworms with three heads and mosquitoes with six mouthparts."
Sun Tiantian and others: oo!
What the hell! A mosquito with one mouth is terrifying enough! Six mouthparts?! Are you trying to kill us?!
Although pest control was provided throughout the base and the safe zone, Lu Sheng still led a few people to use herbicides to remove all the greenery within a few meters of the safe zone.
Even the trees within a few meters of the forest were all cut down by the zombie employees.
Insect control is one aspect, but high temperatures can easily trigger wildfires, so a firebreak needs to be established outside the safe zone.
"Zombie units are approaching our base!"
Zhuangzhuang suddenly straightened up, jumped onto the small mound, and looked into the distance.
"A woman, and two zombies?"
Lu Sheng picked up the binoculars and looked down, and sure enough, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.
"How could it be her?"
Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
