Climbing building after building, everyone basically only had about half an hour to rest before having to continue.
So they didn't have much time left, and they ate everything they had.
Finally, when they reached the farthest point, everyone immediately cheered.
However, the cheers were kept very low, for fear that the nearby insects would hear them.
Lu Yuan wasn't too scared anymore, because they were now almost a mile away from the insects.
If the insects could hear them from this far away, they wouldn't need to run.
Although the insects don't move very fast, their sheer number makes them more than capable of chasing and killing them.
"Alright, our mission is basically complete. Let's set off immediately and head back. There are no more cars available, so we may have to walk the rest of the way."
Captain Liu chuckled lightly: "Once we leave this place, the military should send a car to pick us up. Let's go first, and then send them our coordinates so they can come and call us."
Everyone nodded, packed their belongings, and quickly ran out of the base.
Running back the way they came, everyone finally realized the danger of this place.
No wonder no one has ever investigated this place. The experts came a few times but found nothing and left. I never expected that such a shocking secret was hidden here.
Now everyone is no longer curious about the secrets inside; they're terrified. They were only able to escape with their lives thanks to Lu Yuan.
Now everyone has lost all interest in Lu Yuan. They just want to go back and live their lives in the city. As for other things, even if the world ends, it doesn't seem to have much to do with them. Everyone is the same, and it's better for them to have put in the effort first.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly. It seemed that these people were like this: if their superiors didn't push them, their subordinates wouldn't even bother to move.
So Lu Yuan followed the others to the next station.
Finally, the vehicles arrived, and more than a dozen vehicles took everyone back.
Although Captain Liu expressed his strong indignation at his superiors' reaction, they were only given a perfunctory apology before being dismissed.
Lu Yuan got what he wanted and returned home. Since the outsiders didn't want to meddle, Lu Yuan felt that they should continue to live well with their families.
They need to study the evolutionary conditions of these insects and what their future path will look like.
So Lu Yuan brought back the samples of those insects and held a family meeting.
When the family members saw the black worm inside the box, they were all shocked.
"These insects were previously discovered at a military base of the Blue Star people, where they bred millions of these insects, or even more."
I suspect the entire underground is filled with this stuff. Once these insects mature, they'll definitely erupt in large numbers, posing a threat to our area. Since they're not doing anything, we have to do something too!
The family members nodded in agreement.
"That's right, are these insects afraid of water? Should we conduct some experiments?"
"We have to conduct the experiment. We need to make the necessary preparations. There's a mountain behind us, and I think to prevent any danger from happening on our side, we might need to take care of the mountain as well!"
"Not only that, but we also need to dig trenches for all the roads in the mountains and nearby areas!"
Everyone chimed in with their suggestions.
So, with everyone's unanimous agreement, the campaign to eradicate the pests finally began.
You don't actually need much to deal with insects. Everyone knows the basic structure of insects, and you can kill them by stepping on them.
However, these insects are very fast and powerful, with claws that can even penetrate steel plates. If you accidentally step on one, you might be in trouble.
Therefore, relying solely on guns, weapons, and ammunition to deal with these insects may not be very effective. The best way is to use water pipes to block their path.
Or they could rely on fire, but that would consume a lot of fuel, and the Earth doesn't have much fuel left. Where would they get so much fuel?
However, Lu Yuan still took out some of the mineral remnants he found inside for research.
Those things were of great research significance to them; they were all found in the laboratory. The military took some of them, and Lu Yuan also took some.
The laboratory then analyzed the insects for a period of time and concluded that they were afraid of water and fire, and that their carapaces had an arched structure that required a lot of effort to step on.
However, these insects have one unique characteristic: within three days of not eating, they may exhibit a berserk state.
If these insects do not eat for more than five days, they will gradually shrink and die, so they need to eat constantly once they mature.
This is why the insect eggs underground have not yet hatched, so Lu Yuan is worried that there must be more eggs beneath this Blue Star military base.
However, Lu Yuan doesn't yet have the ability to explore that place. If he accidentally activates all the insect eggs, the impact on the camp would be enormous and irreparable once the infestation erupts.
He didn't want to be a sinner in history; he wanted to live on alongside the people of Earth.
The insect swarm not only inspired and alerted Lu Yuan and his team, but also served as a great wake-up call for the military.
Everyone knows these insects are definitely not simple; we must deal with them properly.
Otherwise, if all those insect eggs were to hatch, it would be a very serious disaster.
Lu Yuan didn't want to be buried alive; he wanted to continue living with his family.
Therefore, even though this was the first line of defense in the city, Lu Yuan had to remind them.
However, he still lacks a lot of groundwork; he needs to obtain evidence before the military can begin to fight off these insects.
The incident involving Captain Liu is the best proof of this.
