Lu Ban put the cat into a jar and sealed it.

"This cat seems to be able to usurp people's minds, making everyone hopelessly fond of it, wanting to possess it and protect it. If it is used to fight insects, I guess all the insects will gather around it."

Lu Ban commented.

If all insects are individuals with independent wills, then it would be impossible for a cat to capture the hearts of all of them.

But the insect swarm in the wasteland is a whole, so as long as one insect sees the cat, it means that all the insects have seen the cat. They will definitely gather towards the cat and eventually Lu Ban will catch them all.

It can be considered a bug trap.

The sound of a cat struggling could be heard from the jar. Lu Ban was a little tempted, but he still used another jar to cover the jar, completing the nesting doll and isolating the sound.

He closed his eyes and imagined the cat for a moment, then he immediately wanted to open the jar and let the cat inside breathe wildly.

Fortunately, Lu Ban has strong self-control and knows how to delay enjoyment.

He planned to wait until he finished his task before going crazy with cat petting.

"It seems that this thing has more than just a visual impact."

Lu Ban said.

"This is also a kind of cognitive impairment. If the Time Worm makes you confuse it with a teddy bear, then this cognitive impairment will spread through the image, just like things that carry the image of the Time Worm will create new Time Worms. Normally, once you have seen this cat, it is difficult to get rid of its influence."

Feng Yu explained.

"Whether you see its appearance, hear its voice, or think of its appearance, you will be bewitched."

“No wonder it’s so expensive.”

Lu Ban sighed.

The price of [Small-scale Natural Disaster Generator] is similar to that of [Cat Poisoning]. One of them is a large-scale weather change, and the other is mind control. Both are very useful for Lu Ban.

After spending a few more days preparing, Lu Ban finally completed the preliminary work for heading to the wasteland.

He carried a backpack containing a [Small-Scale Natural Disaster Generator] and a can of [Cat Poisoning], a suona, a crowbar in his hand, and some water and food.

Most of the wasteland is desert and Gobi, with a lack of water and no food. If you want to use local materials, most of them are insects. Lu Ban doesn't like the taste of insects, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not turn into a bug if he eats too much insect meat.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Ban came to the coffee table in the living room. On the table, unreal and distorted dishes appeared. Lu Ban looked at the vegetables that were wriggling like worms and frowned slightly.

[Do you want to enter the quiet place?]

【whether】

Then he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food.

An indescribable taste spread from the tip of his tongue, causing him to shiver on his back. Then, a feeling of burning heat and severe cold surrounded Lu Ban, as if he was suddenly in a polar snowstorm and suddenly under the scorching sun of the Sahara Desert.

At the same time, the system's indifferent and cold words gradually emerged.

[The speed of time in the Quiet Place is inconsistent with the outside world]

[The time ratio of this journey is: 2:1]

[Heading to the Wasteland]

Countless little figures appeared before his eyes, dancing around him, and upon closer inspection, he found that these little figures were almost all Lu Ban himself. Some of them were wearing ethnic clothes, some were in suits, and some were naked. These little figures were dancing different dances, and they were in high spirits, as if it was a grand celebration at the end of the year.

Lu Ban looked at these little figures and also felt an urge to dance. At this moment, he saw all the little figures suddenly freeze in their movements and turn their heads towards him in all kinds of reasonable and unreasonable ways. There was only darkness in countless pairs of eyes.

Lu Ban was suddenly startled and felt something soft under him.

It's sand.

When he touched it with his hand, Lu Ban felt something flowing between his fingers.

A burning sensation ensued.

The light occupied Lu Ban's entire vision.

"We should move on."

A voice came from the side, it was a woman's. Lu Ban looked over and found that it was a woman with dark brown, slightly curly hair and healthy wheat-colored skin. She looked like a mixed-race, with the three-dimensionality of a Westerner and the softness of an Oriental. Although she was not beautiful and had freckles on her cheeks, one could feel a sense of vitality from her expression.

"good."

Lu Ban grasped the hand that the other party extended to him and stood up with the help of the crowbar.

"Your cane looks quite special."

The woman laughed and then walked forward.

The sky ahead was clear and the sun was scorching. The gravel on the ground had already boiled. The high temperature caused the air on the surface to flow, and the scenery in the distance began to shake like a mirage.

Lu Ban glanced at the camel-like creature beside him and his other two teammates.

One of them seemed to be a guide, with darker skin, a color that could only be developed from years of exposure to the sun, which represented rich experience in this desert.

He had a knife on his waist and some crystals on his right forearm, which were symbols of illness.

The man's name was Setsuna. According to what Lu Ban knew, his abilities were probably related to speed or something like that.

The other woman had curly brown hair and wore a hat. She seemed to be from the same place as the first woman, but her skin was slightly paler. She was riding a camel and looked a little nervous.

This woman is called the Singer. There are crystals shining on her neck. Her ability may be related to her throat or voice.

As for the woman at the beginning, her name was Frost Heart.

Lu Ban looked forward, and in the swaying sun flames, the cold and indifferent words of the Land of Silence emerged.

【wilderness】

[Nine years of Pericles, no meteorite has come]

[The swarm destroyed the city-state. Compared with the scorching desert and the dry oasis, the swarm has become the biggest threat facing mankind]

[People try to study the insect swarm, study the queen insect that is high above, and try to find the weaknesses of these creatures]

[Or, in other words, the possibility of finding the weaknesses of these creatures]

[Mission Difficulty: Sublimation]

[Mission Objective: Find the Queen]

[Mission objective: survive]

[Mission Objective: Obtain Du Danping's Melody Fragment]

It seems that it will take a very long time to find the Queen of Insects in this vast desert.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly had an inspiration. He looked at the man next to him and suddenly spoke.

"Do you know Halloween?"

"Halloween?"

When Shanna heard this unfamiliar word, he tilted his head in confusion.

"Halloween?"

The brown-haired singer repeated it, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Is that some kind of festival?"

Frost Heart, who was walking in front, asked.

“It’s a festival that brings happiness.”

Lu Ban glanced at his companions and hoped that they were not transformed from insects.
