Chapter 47 Treatment of Corrosion
Five minutes later, a total of 24 psychics and 6 teams were assembled.
Set off.
Jiang Rong, Uncle Zhao, Chen Ru and Li Tao were walking at the end of the team.
Because they were walking on the snow, everyone's speed was not fast. Once they left Qingshan Village, their speed dropped to the lowest.
The snow on the ground went from half a finger high to above the knees and now reached the middle of everyone's thighs.
At this time, the person walking in front suddenly stumbled because he had not made any preparations in advance, and his whole body fell into the thick snow, and then was buried by the snow on both sides.
The people walking behind could only hear a few muffled cries for help coming from the seemingly flat snow surface, but there were only a few cries and then the sound stopped abruptly.
After the people behind reacted, they immediately wanted to go forward and pull the person out of the snow.
But the next second he was stopped by the person beside him.
"Qinglan, don't go!"
Wu Hui reacted quickly and reached out to stop Qinglan, who was anxiously trying to save people.
The speed-type mutant named Qinglan also breathed a sigh of relief after Wu Hui stopped her in time.
She looked at the large amount of blood that suddenly seeped out of the originally white and pure snow surface, and felt scared.
"Everyone stand back, there's something in the snow!"
After Wu Hui stopped Qinglan, he turned around to inform the psychics behind him, but he did not dare to shout loudly, and only passed the message from the front to the back.
When Jiang Rong and the others knew what happened ahead, they had already retreated more than ten meters. They had just left Qingshan Village, but now they had no choice but to retreat back.
At this time, Wu Hui and the other two standing at the front had the worst expressions, because the person who just fell into the snow was the power-type mutant in their team, named Liu Zhao.
"Xie Lei, try to melt all the snow." Wu Hui said with a sullen look to a young man with a half-bun hairstyle beside him.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lei simply nodded calmly, not looking too anxious.
Among the four of them, he only has a better relationship with Brother Hui. As for the other two, they only spoke a few more words to each other in the past few days.
Xie Lei walked forward alone, then raised his hand, with his palm facing the blood-stained ground in front of him, and then a burst of hot flames spurted out from his hand.
The snow and water on the ground were soon burned by the flames and began to smoke, then melted and sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, countless crystal white particles rushed out from the snow.
Xie Lei, who was standing at the front, was affected first, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately pulled away and ran back.
Jiang Rong, who was standing at the end, saw the densely packed crystal white insects flying around in the sky, and instantly remembered what these things were.
It's a snow locust.
It is white all over, with very hard and sharp front claws and mouthparts. It likes to hide in thick snow. Once its prey accidentally falls into the snow, within a few seconds, thousands of snow locusts hidden in the snow will eat it up.
However, these guys also have a disadvantage, which is that they are afraid of heat. When it gets hot enough, they will melt on the spot like snow. That's why they immediately jumped out of the snow when they came into contact with Xie Lei's fire ability.
"It's snow locusts!" Jiang Rong shouted in the chaos.
Anyone who has carefully read the natural disaster prophecy she wrote should be able to figure out the weaknesses of these white bugs.
Qinglan was one of those people who reacted the fastest.
"Are there any other people with fire-type abilities? Those who can control temperature will do, as these insects are afraid of heat." Qinglan shouted as she ran back. Due to everyone's lack of cooperation before, she was not clear about everyone's specific abilities now.
The snow locusts had originally rushed out of the snow aimlessly, and their attacks were chaotic. But now that Jiang Rong and Qing Lan had appeared, their attacks suddenly had a target, and the entire force rushed towards them in an instant.
In this way, the pressure on others is much less.
Qinglan was a speed-type mutant, so although her attack was not good, her speed was much faster than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, she went full steam ahead at this moment, and those snow locusts were unable to catch up with her, so she was not injured.
Fortunately, Jiang Rong has Uncle Zhao.
Because of Uncle Zhao's earth-related abilities, the four of them hid directly in the pit dug by Uncle Zhao.
Based on the footsteps coming from the ground, Jiang Rong estimated that they were at least in a vacuum space about one meter underground.
It was pitch black all around.
Jiang Rong took out a flashlight from the backpack behind him.
Then there was a click and the surroundings lit up.
The four of them looked at each other in the underground pit without saying anything. Then they waited for about ten minutes before the noise outside gradually died down.
After a few minutes, when there was completely no more noise outside, Jiang Rong and the others were sent back to the ground by Uncle Zhao using his special powers.
At this time, the road was covered with blood, but there was not a single snow locust corpse.
There were about ten people sitting on each side of the road, all looking quite miserable, but fortunately no one was killed and the injuries were only minor.
Because the injuries were not serious, after questioning, no one was willing to return.
They had just set out, and now they were heading back home before they even left the village?
That's so embarrassing.
After Jiang Rong came out, he walked to the edge of the village entrance, which was the place where Liu Zhao fell into the snow before.
At this time, the bare yellow land was exposed about one meter away from the village entrance, but the land one meter away was still covered with thigh-thick white snow.
She could even see with her naked eyes the thousands and thousands of densely packed white bugs hiding and moving back and forth under the snow.
The character of the snow locust is relatively gentle among all the mutant beasts. Generally, it will not fly out of the snow on its own unless it is attacked very strongly.
Because they have been away from the snow for a short time, their bodies will melt.
"Are you okay?" Wu Hui walked to Jiang Rong's side.
Xie Lei and Qing Lan followed behind him.
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"There are too many of these guys, but there are only two fire-type esperants in our entire team right now. With their current abilities, they can't kill them all."
"Do you have any ideas?" Wu Hui saw Jiang Rong looking at the locusts in the snow for quite a while, so perhaps he would have some ideas.
"Go back and boil some water and pour it on the insects?" Li Tao had heard Qinglan say that the insects were afraid of heat.
"That's a good idea, but what should we do if we encounter these bugs again after we go out?" Qinglan asked.
"There is no permanent solution. Let's solve the current problem first. We can only take one step at a time when the time comes." Jiang Rong said.
However, it would be a pity to kill all these snow locusts.
Jiang Rong was just looking at the crystal white bugs crawling in the snow when he suddenly remembered.
In the previous life, in addition to a special mutated plant that appeared after the plant outbreak in the second year of the natural disaster and could heal the skin of ordinary people corroded by the air, there was also a mutated beast that could completely cure the corrosion.
It's the snow locust.
However, this thing was extremely rare in the previous life, even rarer than that special mutant plant.
It is simply impossible for it to occur on a large scale.
Therefore, she estimated that it would be difficult to encounter these snow locusts again on the road ahead.
Jiang Rong's eyes were fixed on the thick snow, and he was already feeling eager to make some moves.
She currently knows of several methods to treat air corrosion, in addition to treatments with superpower evolution and healing powers.
There are only two types.
The mutated beast Snow Locust and the special mutated plant Blood Vine.
Compared with the latter, snow locusts only appear in the first year of the disaster, and they are relatively mild in temperament, easy to capture, and have almost no side effects.
It was a legendary existence a few years after the natural disaster. Compared with the blood vine with a brutal temperament and super high combat power, the cost performance is much better.
"Let's find a way to capture them. I remember the natural disaster prophecy I read before said that their corpse water can cure air corrosion." Jiang Rong touched his nose and said.
Upon hearing this, Qinglan subconsciously recalled the "Natural Disaster Prophecy" she had read, but after recalling for a long time, she still couldn't remember whether the prophecy said that this thing could cure corrosion?
"But I've read that prophecy several times, why didn't I see it?"
But she was still very happy to hear this, because if what Jiang Rong said was true, then the festering and charred skin on her parents' bodies, which looked like it had been corroded by sulfuric acid, could be saved.
