Chapter 90: The Swarm
"Buzz!"
The silver-white Miao Dao blade cut through the air, making a low humming sound.
After I used the Miao Dao to slash the insect in front of me, before I could even catch my breath, another one came over.
Frowning, I loosened my Miao Dao with my left hand, pulled out a pistol from my waist, and shot the bug directly.
Although it is not difficult to kill these insects, the overwhelming number of insects around me still makes my scalp tingle.
Just as I was considering whether to use fear projection, Jiang Wang's voice came from my right.
"Ji Ling, run quickly, don't just stand there."
When I heard Jiang Wang's words, I turned my head and looked in his direction.
He was seen waving his left and right hands, which had turned into long swords, and constantly reaping the lives of those insects.
Even though Jiang Wang had extensive experience surviving in the wild, dealing with ordinary swarms of insects was no problem for him. However, the insects before him were obviously mutated species, and there was almost no water source. Even Jiang Wang was somewhat unable to cope with it.
Just when I was about to say something to Jiang Wang, Lin Hanning spoke.
"How can we run? This area is full of these mutant bugs. We are surrounded."
As soon as Lin Hanning finished speaking, a bug rushed towards her. Lin Hanning raised her gun and shot it into pieces.
Jiang Wang surveyed the surroundings, frowned, and said helplessly, "What should we do? We can't just sit there and wait."
This question really stumped us. Even though the doomsday has been coming for several months, this is the first time everyone has seen a scene like this. Even though we have seen similar scenes in film and television works before, when we really face it, we still have no idea what to do for a while.
Just when the three of us were feeling a little overwhelmed, a strong wind blew from behind us.
Looking back, I saw Chen Yubing standing at the door of a bungalow, manipulating a strong airflow to blow away the insects.
After temporarily blowing away all the insects, Chen Yubing quickly shouted to us.
"come over!"
Hearing Chen Yubing's call, we rushed in without hesitation.
Seeing the three of us coming in, Chen Yubing stepped back and prepared to close the door.
Before closing the door, she took out a lighter and lit the gasoline that had been poured at the door.
The raging fire that broke out instantly kept all the insects out.
Seeing these annoying bugs being stopped, we finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Wang even sat down on the ground.
Because there was a window in this bungalow, Lin Hanning quickly walked to the window.
After just one look, she called us over.
Seeing her anxious look, we hurried to the window to check the situation.
Through the window glass, I saw all the insects outside gathered together, like a thick dark cloud, so dense that it blocked out all the already weak sunlight.
Seeing this situation, Lin Hanning sighed and said worriedly.
"What should we do now? These bugs seem to be staying here now."
Lin Hanning's words made us fall into silence for a moment.
"Can the airflow just now happen again?"
I asked hesitantly.
If the wind is strong enough, it should be able to blow these insects out of a certain range.
"I'm afraid not." Jiang Wang frowned.
"It would take a very strong wind to blow away so many insects. Not to mention how long Sister Yubing can sustain us blowing like this. Even if Sister Yubing had enough physical strength, once these winged insects gather in a swarm, airflow and wind alone will not be able to stop them."
After saying that, Jiang Wang shrugged and said, "We really have touched a hornet's nest."
Just ten minutes ago, we used the method of clearing the countryside to force out the danger hidden in the dark.
As we thought, the danger was forced out by us.
After Chen Yubing destroyed a suspicious object with air flow, some beetles as big as an adult's fist rushed directly towards us.
Although these beetles are large in size, their combat effectiveness is average. Although they have mutated, they do not seem to be that strong and can only buzz towards us.
However, we were all aware of the danger of mutant creatures, so we didn't let them get close to us.
If there weren't many of these beetles, we could suppress them with firepower and pass through this area.
But we never expected that these extra-large beetles would be impossible to kill.
Although these bugs pose no threat to us, their endless attacks are troublesome.
In this situation, we all felt like we didn't know where to start.
Seeing Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning's low morale, I was just about to say something when Chen Yubing's voice broke the atmosphere.
"There is always a way."
"What method?"
When Jiang Wang heard Chen Yubing say that there was a way, his eyes lit up instantly.
However, Chen Yubing did not tell me what the solution was. She just took out a small box from her backpack and handed it to me.
"Ji Ling, use your ability to send this thing to the center of the insect swarm later."
This small box is not big, about the size of a matchbox, and the outer shell looks to be made of plastic.
From the outside, I can't tell what's so mysterious about this thing.
But since Chen Yubing said this thing is useful, I will definitely believe her.
So I asked Jiang Wang to open the window a little, and then I controlled the box and passed through the small gap.
When the insects outside saw the window was open, they rushed over.
Fortunately, Jiang Wangguan arrived in time and the insects just banged against the glass.
However, the glass could not withstand the impact of these insects and cracks appeared soon.
"Ji Ling, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, the bugs will rush in."
"Don't rush me. There are so many bugs outside. Even if I had double vision, I can't see the direction clearly."
I said this, but my second vision was still activated.
With the help of the second vision, although the box's speed was not fast, it still arrived at the center of the insect swarm safely.
When Chen Yubing saw that the box had been put in, she calmly took out a remote control from her pocket, and then she said to Lin Hanning.
"Lin Hanning, open your shield to protect us."
Hearing Chen Yubing's words, Lin Hanning quickly opened his shield.
We saw a shield emitting a light blue halo, covering us.
Chen Yubing pressed the remote control in his hand.
boom!
After Chen Yubing pressed the remote control, the swarm of insects not far away instantly set off a strong shock wave, accompanied by a loud bang, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart.
The shock wave also rushed to us in an instant.
This small house was also razed to the ground.
Fortunately, thanks to Lin Hanning's shield, none of us were hurt.
