Red-backed centipede (4)
A cool breeze blew across the old and empty rooftop, and the ashes that fell to the ground were like endless dust, forming small cyclones and scattering.
Shi Jianxia turned around and saw the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shining through the thin clouds and falling on the boy's shoulder.
He hovered in the air, holding a cold white longbow in his hand. The longbow was dazzling, with cold flames flowing on it, which seemed to be able to burn people's eyes.
Shi Jianxia opened his eyes intentionally and saw the lazy and unfocused eyebrows of the young man.
He seemed to be still asleep. He raised his hand to cover his face and yawned lazily. When he met her gaze, he slightly curved his narrow eyes and aimed at her, drawing his bow and arrow again.
The bow is opened like a full moon.
Shi Jianxia's pupils dilated and he ran towards the boy without hesitation.
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his slender fingertips released the force. The arrow flew off the string and flew through Shi Jianxia's flying hair at lightning speed, accurately piercing the red-backed centipede parasite that jumped up from behind her.
It turned out that during the brief incident, several red-backed centipede parasites crawled up from under the roof. They roared and opened their ugly mouthparts, trying to swallow Shi Jianxia into their stomachs.
After the arrow hit the red-backed centipede parasite, it instantly turned into a cold white flame, covering its entire body.
In the chilling cold, the ugly monster only had time to let out a painful roar before being burned to ashes.
The mimics floating beside Shi Jianxia felt the powerful force suppressed in the flames and moved towards her at the same time.
The boy yawned again, but the next moment he passed by Shi Jianxia with the wind.
The cold white longbow in his hand emitted jumping cold flames, and in a moment it turned into a long sword that could cut through iron like mud.
Shi Jianxia looked back holding the iron rod and saw him swung his sword across, cutting another red-backed centipede parasite in half.
The fishy-smelling liquid sprayed out, and was about to splash onto the young man, but before it touched him, it made a burning sound and in the blink of an eye turned into a wisp of black smoke that was blown away by the wind.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen red insect crystals the size of pigeon eggs fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Some of them sank into the moss after landing, while others rolled around.
Xixi blinked her big watery eyes, and while Shi Jianxia wasn't paying attention, she quietly picked up one and swallowed it down.
The other secondary mimics noticed its little movement and looked at it together. The long furry tail that was shaking stopped.
After a moment of silence, the mimics swarmed in and divided the insect crystals into pieces in a few seconds. By the time Jian Xia reacted, it was too late.
At this time, the last red-backed centipede parasite that climbed onto the rooftop was killed by the young man's sword.
He made a beautiful sword flower, tilted his head to look at Xixi who was tiptoeing and trying to take the last insect crystal for herself, his brows slightly raised.
When her own mimic T was caught cheating, Shi Jianxia was so embarrassed that she could almost dig a Potala Palace out of the ground. She was about to apologize when she saw the sword in the boy's hand turned into flames and disappeared.
He half-knelt down, picked up the frozen Xixi, who dared not move, picked up the insect crystal and stuffed it into Xixi's arms, and stroked its soft fur. He handed the bad guy back to Shi Jianxia, tilted his head and smiled, "Is this your mimicry? Very cute."
The boy's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a spring hitting rocks. His slightly curved eyebrows were like a painting in black ink, and his soft short hair fluttered in the morning breeze as he tilted his head, full of youthful spirit.
Shi Jianxia was dazzled by that smile and immediately looked away as he took the insect crystal. He just happened to hear it swallow the insect crystal it had just obtained in one gulp. His eyelids twitched and he quickly said, "Thank you."
The other secondary mimics breathed a sigh of relief and flew around in the air, pretending nothing had happened.
The nine-tailed fox also stopped the fusion combat state with Shi Jianxia, squatted on her shoulder, looked at the boy curiously with its big glazed eyes, and its nine furry tails wagged back and forth.
The young man paused as he was about to withdraw his hand, and then he placed a pigeon egg-sized insect crystal in front of the nine-tailed fox.
The soft and adorable little fox immediately held the insect crystal and tilted its little head to rub it in his palm.
Shi Jianxia: "..."
The next second, the eight mimics who were still pretending to be calm swarmed around the boy, some acting coquettishly, some acting cutely.
The boy was in a panic and smiled as he used a mimicry to share an insect crystal.
Shi Jianxia: “…………”
Did she raise a bunch of Huskies?
Just when she didn't know how to express her gratitude, a cold voice came, "Gongye Jiwang, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yingdu jumped off the aircraft and saw Gongye Jiwang touching the nine-tailed fox and then touching Xixi, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Gongye Jiwang looked up blankly, thought carefully for a few seconds before answering, "Feeding Maorong."
Jiang Yingdu: "..."
He said coldly, "This neighborhood has practically become a hive of insects, and you're not going to help?"
After saying that, he looked at Shi Jianxia, who had grabbed a mimic and was about to shoot something into the Classic of Mountains and Seas. His tone softened a little, "Are you the one who called the reporting hotline? We are from the Zerg Investigation Division's action team. Please follow me first. I'll take you to a safe place."
Shi Jianxia grabbed Xixi, who was about to ask Gongye Jiwang for insect crystals, and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Okay."
Gongye Jiwang withdrew his gaze from her arms with regret, and a cold white longbow appeared in his palm.
After Shi Jianxia carefully stepped onto the aircraft, he saw him jump up and disappear on the rooftop.
Is that bow his mimicry?
It can actually fly in the air.
What a magical power.
"Stand firm." Jiang Yingdu reminded in a low voice.
As soon as the words fell, the aircraft under the feet of the two people moved out of the community. Shi Jianxia reacted and reflexively grabbed the arm that Jiang Yingdu clenched into a fist and extended to him.
Perhaps to take care of her, the aircraft was not moving very fast, and an energy shield was raised in front to block the whistling morning breeze.
Flying in the air, Shi Jianxia saw the rising sun in the sky, the dilapidated and old residential areas on the ground, and Gongye Jiwang, who was bending his bow like a full moon and reaping the lives of the Zerg parasites with arrows.
Shi Jianxia pursed her lips and asked, "Excuse me, is there any chance to save those who have been parasitized by the Zerg but have not turned into monsters yet?"
Jiang Yingdu looked down at the Zerg parasites fleeing in panic on the ground and said in a calm tone, "Ordinary people who are parasitized by the Zerg will die."
Shi Jianxia let out a breath and didn't ask any more questions.
-
A cordon has been set up outside the community, and hovercrafts with the words "Zerg Investigation Office" printed on them have been descending from low-altitude routes one after another, and people with mimicry abilities have entered the community one after another.
Shi Jianxia jumped off the aircraft and said thank you to Jiang Yingdu. He nodded slightly and entered the community again.
"Director Zhuang, the surrounding area has been secured to ensure there is no movement of people. However, there is a magnetic road track built underground in Minghua Community, and some areas have collapsed and experienced water seepage."
"Immediately apply to the traffic control department for traffic control, intercept the incoming transport truck, and ask them to cooperate in checking all cargo that has passed through Ci Neng Road since 9:00 am yesterday."
"yes!"
A crisp and clear conversation reached Shi Jianxia's ears, and she turned around to look while holding Xixi.
The woman was tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with long golden curly hair tied up high. Her work uniform from the Zerg Investigation Department wrapped around her curvy body. As she walked, her mid-calf boots made crisp tapping sounds on the ground.
As if noticing someone was looking at her, the woman glanced sideways. Their eyes met, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Shi Jianxia?"
The woman put on red lips, and when the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her extremely aggressive appearance had an indescribable charm.
Shi Jianxia nodded and quickly searched the original owner's memory. He didn't find the other person and was surprised. "You know me?"
"It was you who called the reporting hotline. I am Zhuang Mingyue, a senior investigator from the Zerg Investigation Department. Are you okay? Are you hurt?" the woman said.
Shi Jianxia shook his head.
Zhuang Mingyue walked towards her, glanced at the cat she was holding in her arms, wagging its long, furry tail, and smiled, "What a cute mimicry."
"The cleanup task here will not be completed in a short time. You are the only survivor at present. Please return to the Zerg Investigation Office with my assistant first. There are many subsequent matters that require your cooperation in the investigation." Zhuang Mingyue made a gesture of invitation.
The assistant smiled and nodded to Shi Jianxia. She obviously had no chance to refuse.
-
The Zerg Investigation Office on Shuiyuan Star is a pair of twin buildings that soar into the sky. Due to the appearance of a large number of Zerg parasites in Minghua Community, the action team almost came out in full force, and all departments also started to operate at high speed to cooperate with the action team.
Shi Jianxia was first arranged to undergo a full body examination, including mimicry identification.
After completing the series of procedures, an hour had passed.
The doctor said that the test results would not be out so soon, so Shi Jianxia stayed in the lounge and waited.
She knew that there were surveillance cameras in the lounge, and perhaps someone from the Zerg Investigation Department was observing her through the surveillance camera.
Shi Jianxia was stunned for a while, thinking back on what had happened since he woke up in the morning, feeling like he was in a dream.
The only one who was not stuffed into the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" by her,朏朏, squatted on the table, wagging his little tail and occasionally rubbing against her, clearly showing how to act coquettishly and cutely.
Shi Jianxia didn't know when someone would come. She snored her soft little fur and continued to lean back in her chair with her eyes closed, thinking about what questions the people from the Zerg Investigation Department would ask her later.
An unknown amount of time had passed. When she was dozing off, someone knocked on the lounge door. Shi Jianxia opened her eyes and rubbed her brows. The assistant standing at the door smiled at her and said, "Miss Shi, please follow me. The investigator has something to ask you."
Shi Jianxia responded with "OK" and stood up, holding the sleeping Xixi in her arms.
In the conference room, Zhuang Mingyue leaned back in her chair, and next to her sat the young man who exuded laziness in the morning.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyelids drooped and his long eyelashes pressed against his eyelids, and he seemed very sleepy.
When Xixi woke up with a small yawn, he saw him and immediately lifted up his big furry tail, wanting to rush over to ask for the insect crystal.
Fortunately, Shi Jianxia reacted quickly enough, holding it tightly in his arms, and whispered a warning: "Behave yourself."
Otherwise I'll stuff you into the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
朏朏 seemed to understand her thoughts. It let its big tail droop down and rubbed against her arm in a flattering manner.
