The insects came very suddenly this time, and no one was prepared.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had already made plans before he came.
They selected several emergency shelters, and detailed information about these places could be found on the Earthlings' computers.
As long as you hide inside these icy blue places, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, once you're surrounded by these insects, you'll basically be surrounded by them for a very, very long time.
Without outside assistance, I would likely have died here.
There was nothing they could do; they couldn't find a better place because transportation was generally unreliable there, and even if there were planes, they were practically unable to take off.
Resources are so scarce that some aircraft have long been dismantled and recycled into other parts.
At that moment, a whooshing sound came from behind, sending chills down everyone's spines.
After closing the door, everyone quickly checked to make sure there was no risk before they breathed a sigh of relief.
In the distance, the insects sniffed the air for human scent and searched around.
Finally, they detected the scent left by Lu Yuan and his group, and immediately rushed towards them.
Countless insects, like a carpet, swept in all at once, making everyone feel a shiver run down their spines.
"Damn it, there are too many bugs. Everyone be careful and don't let them in. Let's guard this place and see when they can retreat."
The main reason Lu Yuan chose this place was that there were still some surviving oxygen supply equipment here.
If there is a lack of oxygen in the room, their emergency oxygen supply equipment will be turned on.
Furthermore, the staff in the emergency oxygen supply equipment are not connected to the main power system, so the oxygen supply equipment in this place uses an independent power source, which is equivalent to a battery.
Before coming here, Lu Yuan and his group had already conducted a thorough inspection to ensure that the batteries still had enough power before they dared to come here to take refuge.
Sure enough, the insects were very fast, and after stopping outside for about ten minutes, they found where they were.
Insects from all directions suddenly gathered together, and they piled up on top of each other, slowly rising up like a giant.
"Everyone stay still, be careful and don't make a sound. These insects don't have very good eyesight; they mainly rely on their hearing and sense of smell!"
Lu Yuan gave a low warning to everyone to prevent them from becoming too nervous and screaming.
This could very likely attract all the insects from outside.
Lu Yuan doesn't know either. Whether they can survive this ordeal.
He knew that he would have to do everything in his power to get through this disaster.
He even regretted his decision to come here, but now it seemed like it was time to retreat.
They've found pretty much all they need to do is take down that big worm down there, and that should be enough.
Outside, the sound of insects hitting the glass door and walls could be heard. Some of these insects were very large, while others were very small, and their sounds resembled those of large beetles that had not undergone any evolution.
Besides their great strength and sharp claws, they have no other abilities, such as jumping or spreading their wings to fly.
The smaller, slender insects behind them either possess extremely powerful jumping abilities or are already capable of short-distance flight.
These insects belong to the second generation. They sacrificed their enormous bodies in exchange for other abilities, just like Darwin's theory of evolution, evolving to adapt to life.
Upon seeing the appearance of these insects, Lu Yuan and the others exchanged glances and felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
There were so many insects that within just a few minutes, the view outside the window was completely obscured.
The room needs a light to see clearly, but during the day it's completely swarmed by these insects, so no light can get in, making the whole room pitch black.
"What should we do? Are we just going to be stuck here forever? We have to think of something!"
A look of panic crossed everyone's face. They all knew that if they were trapped here, they would likely die from various dangers, such as lack of oxygen, running out of food, or insects damaging the glass and doors.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment: "Don't worry. Look, these insects don't seem to be launching a full-scale attack on this house. Their attacks are very scattered, probably because of the scent on our bodies."
Everyone be careful and try not to get too close. Let our scent dissipate little by little so that these insects stay away from us!
Lu Yuan deduced from his own scent that the insects might not have noticed him, because when they were running around in the building, he could already tell that the insects didn't seem to have spotted them.
Everyone held their breath and carefully observed the insects.
These insects didn't frantically move towards the house and glass, and they weren't sure if there were people inside. These insects aren't stupid; they only launch suicidal attacks when they're certain they've found their prey.
However, even they themselves are unsure whether there are any people inside, so it's completely uncertain.
After some testing, the number of these insects was indeed reduced significantly.
Lu Yuan also looked delighted: "Great, they're finally leaving! Everyone, grab a quick bite to eat and pack up, we're about to depart!"
After such a long journey, everyone was starving.
So everyone took out their food and started eating.
The worry on Lu Yuan's face did not lessen.
For him, they would only be safe once they left the Earthlings' base; before leaving the Earthlings' base, everything was dangerous.
After everything was settled, Lu Yuan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, hang in there a little longer. We'll leave once these insects have definitely retreated!"
Everyone nodded, their eyes fixed eagerly on the view outside the window.
Just then, Han Wen, who was in charge of monitoring communications, suddenly heard a voice in his headset.
"Groups A and D, return immediately! We've spotted a large number of insects approaching your location!"
