It's very warm.
Shi Yin vaguely saw a person in front of her. They seemed to be sitting face to face. The person picked up a woven flower wreath and put it on her head, smiling sweetly.
This place looks like a small garden...
"Miss?"
Shi Yin felt her shoulder being shaken.
"Miss, we've arrived."
Shi Yin opened her eyes. Nan Zhu and Chang Ning were watching her, while Bei Qingchuan was talking to the inspectors not far away.
Faster than I expected.
"I'm glad you can get some rest." Nan Zhu handed over a cup of tea: "White tea, very light, the temperature is just right... Please drink it slowly, you might choke if you drink it too fast."
Shi Yin, who was about to gulp down the tea in two mouthfuls as predicted, paused and changed from taking big gulps to taking small sips.
There's really nothing to verify about their identities. They haven't lost the badges they wear on their chests; their identities have already been verified as soon as they enter the country.
"Since there was no real loss this time, I won't make you write a self-criticism." In the Consul General's office, Shi Yin lowered her head and was being scolded: "Even if you need to get hurt or someone is sacrificed, you can discuss it with me. You know, I won't stop you."
Seeing Shi Yin lower her head, knowing she was wrong but showing no intention of repenting, the commander couldn't describe the feeling in his heart: "Only if you tell us can we cover for you."
"No need for that, I know you all." Hearing this, Shi Yin raised her head: "You just need to do what you're supposed to do normally."
"That's not the point, don't change the subject." The commander-in-chief forcefully steered the conversation back on track, his face serious: "Although most of us won't mind and will cooperate with you, you're making it too easy for others to misunderstand you."
Shi Yin: "That's not important."
Consul General: "This is very important."
Shion: "Okay..."
The commander-in-chief was speechless. Was it really okay to surrender so easily without even putting up a fight? It was hardly a satisfying lesson!
"Alright, alright, I'm already tired enough, stop making me angry." The leader felt that being teased by Shi Yin so often made him look noticeably younger.
You bet I'm so angry I could scream.
"What are your plans for the near future?" the Consul General continued to ask.
"No." Shi Yin shook her head honestly: "We'll just have to wait for the drought to end."
Drought isn't the real problem; there are plenty of people with water-based superpowers. The real issue is the extreme heat. Even if all the plants on Earth grew larger, it still wouldn't be enough.
"Alright, then come with me to Mingtai Temple." The chief was a little relieved, at least the child wouldn't have to run around anymore: "Mingtai Temple helped us a lot during the last disaster at Jumen, but we postponed our visit due to various disasters afterwards."
"Oh, and those Taoist priests and other extraordinary people you found, I've found them." The commander-in-chief had gone to great lengths to find these people: "We plan to visit them together in the coming period of time, at least to show our proper attitude and not let them feel disheartened."
Shi Yin didn't tell him anything, and afterwards she was busy and kept disappearing, leaving him overwhelmed.
"I already offered them plenty of condolences before inviting them here." Shi Yin thought for a moment, "However, I do need to go to Mingtai Temple. The abbot has a special method to control the mirror zombies, and I specifically asked him for help."
“This is different. We can’t ask people to make sure they agree beforehand and then forget about them afterwards.” The commander said seriously, “But we can handle these things. And since you said you’re fine, use your powers less and get some rest.”
"I understand." Shi Yin sighed softly and gave a faint smile.
The snowstorm has stopped, and the roads are much easier to walk on. Although the vegetation is dense, it is much easier to clear than the snowstorm. In addition, normal tools are also easier to use, and ordinary people can help, so it is not necessary for the superpowered individuals to run around everywhere.
The era of superhumans being used as mules to pull carts is finally over.
Although many wind and snow ability users were actually weakened, most people were still overjoyed and cried tears of joy, finally no longer being treated like cattle or horses.
As the jungle grows taller, insect control becomes especially important. Fortunately, those giant insects seem to be hostile to the zombies as well. The insects not only bite people but also bite zombies, and when the zombies sense danger, they will turn around and attack the insects.
Therefore, they actually alleviate human stress to some extent.
Insects and plants grow naturally and do not join forces or deliberately attack human consciousness. On the contrary, most zombies emit a putrid smell, which attracts insects, and low-level zombies rampage around, attracting more hatred.
However, insects are much more disgusting than zombies.
Some people are still arrogant and swaggering when they see zombies, but when they see a giant spider more than a meter wide standing in front of them, its bright compound eyes glare at them and they instantly wilted, some even crying. They sprayed insecticide while crying, creating a hilarious scene.
Trees do not have the intention to attack people; humans can easily clear roads by sawing off their roots.
However, when everyone arrived at Mingtai Temple, they almost didn't recognize it as a temple.
The lush trees completely submerged Mingtai Temple, and the steps leading to the top of the mountain were squeezed narrow by dense bushes. Looking up, the steps led straight into the dark depths of the jungle, creating a somewhat haunted house atmosphere.
"I heard you came here last time to invite a Buddha statue. How did you manage to get one?" The commander-in-chief asked curiously. "Are they easy to talk to?"
"Keep it a secret." Shi Yin lazily walked ahead to clear the way.
Although the branches here are obstructing the steps a bit, they have clearly been cleared away. Even though the plants are so thick, someone has still pruned them properly.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of leaves, and something rushed out from the woods without any wind.
It was a green fly as long as an arm, its carapace gleaming with a coppery-green light, and its two huge red compound eyes with a clearly visible reticulated structure.
Its two crystal-clear wings alone seem somewhat beautiful, but when combined with its overall insect body, the creepy barbs on its legs, the visible hairs on its ugly triangular eyes, and its mouthparts, it immediately puts people at a loss.
It's so ugly!
Can you pay me some money for the flies?!
"Ah! I'll f*** you!" A young man who was afraid of insects was the first to curse out loud, while his hands kept pulling out a fist-sized object from his waist and throwing it out.
Others aren't much better off. Not being afraid and not being disgusted are two different things. This thing is no different from the uncanny valley effect, and it's even more explosive!
The fist-sized object, once thrown into the air, transformed into a large net. The fly tried to flap its wings and fly into the sky, but the net was faster, instantly trapping it on the ground.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
"Die!"
The bodyguards, howling and screaming, pulled out upgraded Spc9 pdw SbR submachine guns from their pockets and fired wildly at the compound eyes of the green flies.
Flies don't have vocal cords, so of course they can't make a sound. Their compound eyes are riddled with holes, oozing fluid, and green liquid splatters all over the ground. The stench and the sound of pus splattering are nauseating.
Not to mention the others, even the commander-in-chief looked pale. When he turned around, Shi Yin was still hiding behind him, covering her ears and squatting on the ground pretending to be a mushroom.
Commander-in-Chief: "Are you afraid of bugs?"
Shi Yin: "..."
If you see through something but don't say it, you can still be friends.
Since you've already figured it out, there's no need to say it out loud!
