The swarm is coming.

When she realized this fact, Shuang Xin felt much calmer.

After witnessing how humans in the old days fell into destruction and became these insect swarms, and after witnessing the bridge connecting to another world, Frost Heart didn't know why her fear of the insect swarms had even subsided a lot.

As a researcher, she might be able to use some philosophical thinking methods to explain these problems, but in the final analysis, she has understood the characteristics, origins, and purposes of these insect swarms.

When something changes from unknown to known, or from unknown to knowable, the sense of oppression and fear it brings will become much smaller.

When a disaster of absolute power, devastating force, and unstoppable force sweeps in, and humans have no way to analyze, understand, or explain it, that is the real terror.

In ancient times when technology and civilization were backward, humans called these disasters gods.

But with the development of human civilization, the unknown has become knowable, and the knowable has become known. Humans can even predict these disasters and thoroughly analyze their causes, processes, and outcomes.

Then these disasters would lose their divinity and become ordinary natural disasters.

The same is true for the swarm.

Although the overwhelming sea of ​​swarms of insects still makes every wastelander tremble and fear from the bottom of their hearts, in Frost Heart's view, these swarms of insects are actually just poor people who suffer the same hardships as themselves when the doomsday comes.

"The swarm may be heading towards the wormhole. We must leave here immediately."

Frostheart said.

Being found by the Zerg's scouts means that the Zerg's army will follow. The Zerg usually covers more than several kilometers of desert. They burrow into the ground, soar in the sky, and meander in the sand, looking for everything they can devour.

Once found by one bug, it means that it is being watched by the entire swarm. The core of the swarm will guide the bugs to surround the prey and devour it.

Although these bugs may not destroy the wormholes and buildings here, the passage of bugs is a disaster for the humans in it.

She and the singer immediately ran towards the house where Lu Ban was.

But after running two steps, the wall on the side of the road suddenly collapsed.

Frost Heart saw a bug stumbling and crawling out from the rubble of the collapsed wall.

This insect has eight long and thin legs and its body is only about the size of a human head. Its surface is covered with a layer of fine hair, like a giant spider. Only the mouthparts are covered with thin and dense tentacles, which extend to try to capture things in the air.

The surface of the insect's body was full of pits and wounds, some of which had even completely torn the insect's shell, revealing the dark flesh underneath.

It was obvious that the insect was blown here by the sandstorm just now.

In addition to this insect, Frost Heart also saw some insect corpses nearby. Those corpses were hit by a sandstorm that exceeded the speed of sound, leaving only some broken remains scattered among the ruins of the industrial park.

It must be that those insects encountered a sandstorm while moving, and many of their kind were killed in the natural disaster.

Even so, in such a storm, these insects were able to preserve their bodies relatively intact, and some even survived, which makes people sigh at their strong vitality.

For Frostheart, this meant something else.

"These bugs have discovered us."

Frost Heart didn't hesitate. Before the insect could fully react, she reached out and grabbed one of its legs.

The countless tentacles in the mouthparts immediately twitched, trying to wrap around Frost Heart.

But its movement quickly froze.

White frost rose from the surface of the insect's body, as if it was oozing out from under the skin.

The next moment, the whole insect froze into an ice sculpture, which was very conspicuous on the dark yellow desert.

In the distance, the pitch-black swarm of insects suddenly stopped for a moment.

Then, the swarms of insects became fanatical, like hunters who had discovered treasure. There were insects with more than a dozen legs, insects with three pairs of wings, and insects like long snakes hiding under the gravel.

All the insects moved towards the ruins of the industrial park, rustling and leaving behind messy traces.

Frost Heart and the Singer came to the bottom of the house where Lu Ban was and called out to them.

"What's wrong?"

Shanna stuck his head out of the house, his face covered in dust and dirt. It was obvious that the sandstorm had also affected this place.

"The swarm is coming."

Frost Heart's simple words made Shanshan's expression suddenly serious.

"The swarm."

Shanna said to Lu Ban in the room.

Lu Ban was still printing documents at this time, and he nodded.

Although he didn't know how the swarm of insects found this place, Lu Ban had expected that he would definitely encounter those insects somewhere.

After all, this mission would definitely involve contact with the Zerg. However, after such a long time, he still hadn't discovered any Zerg, which made him wonder if those Zerg had already hidden under the sand.

He placed the information into Setsuna's bag and patted the boy's shoulder.

The two men tumbled down the stairs that were destroyed by the sandstorm, and Lu Ban glanced at the direction where the swarm of insects came from.

Small black dots visible to the naked eye have been scattered across the desert in the distance.

According to Lu Ban's idea, he really wanted to contact the Zerg. After all, he had [Cat Poisoning] in his bag, which could control the Zerg to a certain extent. Moreover, Lu Ban also needed to get the Heart of the Zerg, so he had to go deep into the center of the Zerg and find the Queen.

But if we continue to stay here, others will surely suffer.

"We discovered a wormhole."

As he walked towards the camel worm at the edge of the ruins, Frost Heart told them about his discovery.

"Wormhole?"

Lu Ban quickly understood what this discovery meant.

He stopped.

"The wormhole must be destroyed. If it is not destroyed, the swarm will come to this world endlessly. We can run now, but our mounts cannot travel for a long time. Moreover, the future city is nearby, and those robots may also be attacked by the swarm."

What he said was indeed true. When the Zerg passed through, no grass grew. They might have been lucky before because they didn't discover the Future City, because the exterior of the Future City was all concrete structure, and the Zerg were not interested in stones. But now, after the sandstorm, the solar panels of the Future City must have been damaged. Maybe when the robots came out to repair and check, they would attract the attention of the Zerg.

Not to mention, when the solar panels are damaged, the only fate that awaits those robots is that their energy will be exhausted and they will never be able to start up again.

"What can you do?"

Shuang Xin obviously did not agree with Lu Ban's statement. At this time, what she wanted was to protect everyone as much as possible.

"I have something that I found in the ruins. It can attract the swarm of insects. I tried to draw them to the vicinity of the wormhole and then destroy them all at once."

Lu Ban explained, and seeing that Shuang Xin and others still wanted to object, he did not hesitate and directly took out a silver pen [Last Words].

In Lu Ban's hands, [Last Words] changed its shape and became a long-barreled revolver.

Bang bang——

Lu Ban hit two of his teammates with two shots. They immediately flew out of the ruins and landed on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Shuang Xin wanted to say something, but Lu Ban had already smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I still have to attend the New Year's Eve bonfire party tonight."

Bang——

Frost Heart felt dizzy and was pushed out of the ruins by a huge force.
