Tao Sai closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then suddenly opened them, a cold and determined gleam in his eyes.
She bent down slightly and reached into the pile of explosive grenades in front of her. She grabbed four grenades with one hand and clenched them in her palm. The four fingers of her other hand quickly inserted into the pull ring and pulled at the same time.
The hand holding the bomb threw it with all its might, and with the help of its powerful arm strength, the explosive bomb was thrown into the distant insect swarm.
The strong never listen to the sound of explosions. Tao Sai withdrew his gaze and continued to repeat the same action.
She deliberately changed the strength and direction of the throwing, so that each time she threw the explosive bomb, it would explode at a different point.
She threw four at a time, her movements were smooth and her speed was getting faster and faster. Before the flying bombs landed, four more were thrown out.
But Tao Sai was still not satisfied with such efficiency. She paused, thought for a moment, found a strong rope, and then quickly threaded the explosive thunder rings into the rope, stringing twenty in a row.
She lifted the two ends of the rope with excitement on her face.
Gripping the rope tightly in her hand, she first half-turned around, then spun around with all her might, her body driving her upper arms, her upper arms driving her forearms, and her forearms driving her wrists. Her entire arm swung the rope like a whip, using the huge inertia to pull open twenty rings, and scattered the twenty triggered explosive mines to various directions in the sky.
He Zhaonian, who was on the flank defense line, was commanding his inexperienced "ragtag army" to shoot at the insect swarm, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange in the sky to the side.
He looked back in confusion.
Flying thunder all over the sky?
"What the hell? What's going on?
Flying mines fell to the ground, and explosive mines continued to explode in the surging insect tide. The broken limbs and remains of the insects were like waves stirred up by falling rocks. If observed from a bird's eye view, it looked like clusters of dazzling fireworks blooming in the dark night sky.
After a while, it was visible to the naked eye that the thick swarm of insects was directly thinned out.
Shi Jiahui, who was lying on the rooftop railing, looked at the scene in astonishment.
She had only one question in her mind: Sister Sai, are you sure that this is how you are supposed to use the blasting bomb?
"Feed me." Tao Sai said simply in the communication channel.
"Oh, okay!" Shi Jiahui came back to her senses and used [Energy Replenishment] to inject energy into her.
The energy in his body was quickly replenished, and Tao Sai continued to string and throw thunders seamlessly.
Tao Sai's energy bar seemed to be much larger than others, and Shi Jiahui felt a little hungry as soon as she filled it up.
She urgently drank a bottle of nutrient solution. With the help of the skill [Accelerated Digestion], the nutrient solution was quickly digested and absorbed by the body and converted into energy.
Before Shi Jiahui could even catch her breath, Tang Yingxue, who was beside her, gently supported her with her elbow again, "Zhizhi, feed me, I can't hold it anymore!"
Shi Jiahui easily gave Tang Yingxue full energy.
"Come on, come on!" Tang Yingxue shook her numb hands and cheered herself up energetically.
She had been concentrating on using her electric sniper to shoot down about ten mutant flying insects from a distance.
It is not easy to snipe a high-speed moving target one or two kilometers away, but her advantage is that she can fire continuously, and even if her energy is exhausted, she still has a nurse to nourish her.
Because Tao Sai poured hundreds of explosive bombs into the insect swarm in a short period of time, she became the primary target of the insect swarm's attack. The mutated flying insects scattered in the sky no longer ran around, but moved towards the main position. This also indirectly helped Tang Yingxue better predict the flight path of the flying insects.
After using three consecutive sniper shots to kill a mutant flying insect, Tang Yingxue confidently continued to search for targets through the high-power scope. As long as she was given another half an hour, she was sure that she would wipe out all the mutant flying insects.
But her gaze soon froze, because the remaining dozen or so mutant flying insects rushed over the main position from several kilometers away in an instant.
"Sister Sai, mutated flying insects! Be careful!"
At the same time, He Zhaonian on the flank defense line saw the situation and ordered everyone to increase the intensity of the attack, trying to share the pressure on the main position. However, the damage gap between them and the main position was too large. Most of the reptiles on the ground and the flying insects in the sky ignored them and turned around to attack the first target.
"Sister Sai, there are too many bugs and it's too dangerous. You should retreat!" He Zhaonian said anxiously into the headset.
At this time, Tao Sai in the main position was in a good mood. She had poured thousands of explosive bombs into the insect swarm, and she felt great.
Previously, due to the logic of the game system, killing insects consumed energy and would inevitably cause fatigue. After throwing dozens of grenades in a row, I had to stop and rest, drink nutrient solution and recovery potions to replenish the consumed energy.
But now, thanks to Shi Jiahui's presence, the energy in her body can be used seamlessly.
The lack of fatigue fueled the liver emperor gene in her body. In a short period of time, she poured explosive bombs into the insect swarm without stopping. The more she threw, the crazier and more fanatical she became, attracting unprecedented hatred from insects.
She didn't know what would happen next.
Tao Sai paused and looked up. The insect swarm was advancing at an unprecedented speed and ferocity. The reptiles on the ground almost jumped up, and they rushed forward frantically, one on top of the other.
In Tao Sai's impression, insects were machines that executed orders without hesitation, programs that ran smoothly, and had no emotions. But the insects she saw now seemed like vicious dogs tied to the gate, roaring wildly at strangers who broke in.
There is no doubt that while causing massive damage to the Zerg swarm, Taosai became the Zerg's biggest target of hatred.
The reptiles on the ground rolled up huge waves, and the flying insects in the sky gathered into dark clouds. There were also mutant insects mixed in with the flying insects, which were few in number but extremely harmful. Millions of insects swept towards her from all angles.
In this space, the insects had only one basic command that they had to execute: tear her apart! Destroy her! Devour her!
Tao Sai's temples were throbbing, and he became even more excited.
She was now going to try something bold, something she had thought about many times in her mind but had never had the chance to try.
Shi Jiahui's amazing energy recovery ability gave her the opportunity to carry out this task.
"Jiahui, feed me." Tao Sai spoke into the headset.
"Okay!" Shi Jiahui immediately activated her skills to replenish her energy.
"He Zhaochuan, tell me the location of the insect acupoint closest to me." Tao Sai continued to speak, and she began to quickly string mines on her body with ropes.
"Sister Sai, what do you want to do?" He Zhaonian was very confused when he heard the question and answer in the communication channel.
"Pulling out the insects." Tao Sai said calmly.
He Zhaonian remained relatively calm, having seen this happen once before. Tang Yingxue and Shi Jiahui were completely stunned.
Millions or even tens of millions of insects gathered into a vast ocean, and the insect bloodline was at the core of the insect tide.
She actually spoke about the "拔虫xue" so calmly, and her tone was as if you were playing a game of LOL, and your teammate suddenly hid in the bushes, and you asked him on the public screen what he was going to do, and his teammate said, "I'm going to take down a tower and steal a base."
"Everyone in Hailou, stay at your posts, take care of yourselves, and don't worry about me." Tao Sai said in a commanding tone.
Tao Sai smothered himself in explosive bombs and then opened a small wormhole.
At the other end of the wormhole is a second-level wormhole reported by He Zhaochuan two kilometers away.
She jumped out of the wormhole and hovered above the secondary wormhole.
At this moment, due to the sudden change in her position, almost all the bugs crashed for one tenth of a second, and then countless bugs changed direction and rushed towards her new position again in an overwhelming and mad manner.
Tao Sai looked around and saw the swarm of insects on the ground and the cloud of insects in the sky closing in around her.
Her expression was relaxed, and she released all the buoyancy in her body, falling straight into the insect blood below.
In Tao Sai's vision, her body free-falls into the dark sea of insects and plunges to the ground below.
The underground caverns weren't vertical, and Tao Sai encountered two bends. She carefully used Gravity Adaptation to levitate, her tempered legs clambering over the cavern walls, allowing her to safely maneuver through the winding caverns until she landed deep within them and hovered.
The giant, tumor-like queen worm clung to the deep wall of the cave. Tao Sai's eyes were sharp. He used the soles of his feet, which had been tempered, to step on the worms at the bottom to gain leverage. He pounced on the queen worm resolutely and pulled the explosive ring on his body.
The last step is to transfer consciousness back to the body in the main position two kilometers away.
Tao Sai had done this process of removing parasites once before and was quite familiar with it.
A huge muffled sound came from the bottom of the distant ground. Dozens of explosive bombs exploded in the narrow space, and the fragile body of the queen insect was shattered into countless pieces of flesh. The shock wave shook open the thick layer of soil and directly buried the second-level insect blood.
At this time, because Tao Sai's consciousness returned to the clone in the original position, the insect swarm changed the direction of attack again.
"He Zhaochuan, tell me the next closest insect acupoint." Tao Sai said calmly in the headset.
After receiving the precise coordinates reported by He Zhaochuan, Tao Sai left his clone at the original place, and his real body leaped up and rushed into the small space vortex.
Three minutes later, Tao Sai's consciousness returned to his body again, and the insect swarm that had just advanced dozens of meters changed direction again.
In less than ten minutes, the insect stream kept changing direction, facing north, south, northwest, southeast...
He Zhaonian on the flank position and Tang Yingxue and Shi Jiahui on the high ground sniper point were stunned.
She was actually...walking the insect tide?
Except for a small number of insects still moving forward, most of the insect stream swayed back and forth due to her constant position switching.
In theory, to achieve this effect, two conditions must be met: first, it must deal a huge amount of damage to the insect swarm in a short period of time, and this amount of damage must be so great that all the insects can ignore other units that damage them. Second, it must be able to move quickly from one end to the other.
Tao Sai has obviously achieved both of these points.
In fact, as time goes by, the collective hatred of the insects will gradually weaken, but as Tao Sai pulls out the first-level and second-level insect acupoints one after another, their hatred for Tao Sai still remains at an extremely high level.
The insect swarm kept turning and running around, and almost lost its oppressiveness. The firepower from the three sniping points could sweep without pressure.
"Jiahui, heal me." Tao Sai gasped for breath after switching back to the main position.
"Okay!" Shi Jiahui filled her up again, then swallowed a whole bottle of nutrient solution, preparing to feed her next time.
Tao Sai was suspended above the third-level insect acupoint. The hole below was like a volcanic eruption, and insects kept coming out.
Before this, Tao Sai had never come into contact with the third-level insect acupoints. Even in the game, he only controlled the character from a distance to spawn monsters near the third-level insect acupoints.
Tao Sai took a long breath and fell down confidently because she had a trump card to save her life.
The interior space of the third-level insect acupoint was even more vast. There was a sea of insects under her feet, and waterfalls of insects swimming upstream around the cave walls. Only a ray of daylight shone through from above her head.
Deep in the bottom of the cave, Tao Sai used the faint light from the sky to see a dense circle of the Queen Worm's bodies, with huge tumors silently undulating and pulsating.
Tao Sai's heartbeat seemed to resonate with the Queen Insect's beating. She was possessed by some kind of power, which made her feel suffocated.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of green light in the large tumor on the left side of her vision. In the pitch-black environment, the green light was particularly eye-catching.
The green light came from a small ball of flesh attached to the queen insect, which was also pulsating, but at a faster frequency.
The top of the small meat ball was suddenly stretched open, and several insects crawled out of the meat ball, slowly spread their wing elytra, and their thin wings flashed at high speed, making a noise like a drone rotor.
Tao Sai realized that this was the queen of the mutated flying insects!
Five mutant flying insects shot towards Tao Sai from all angles like bullets, but at this moment her eyes were firm, and she had only one target.
The space inside the third-level insect acupoint was too large, and the explosive bombs she carried were not enough to destroy it completely. If she took out other explosive bombs from her [backpack] and fell into the insect tide in the acupoint, she would be bitten by the insects instantly and would not explode.
She needed a container to support the blasting mine.
Tao Sai used the gravity slingshot to leap towards the meat ball. The meat ball was actually not small, it was only small compared to an ordinary queen insect.
As they leaped forward, five mutated flying insects attacked frantically. One sliced through Tao Sai's left upper arm, another sliced through her back, connected to her ponytail, and another slashed across her face, leaving a gash several centimeters deep from the top of her head to her chin. Blood gushed out from the cut white flesh, obscuring half of her vision...
Pain washed over me like a tide.
Tao Sai gritted her teeth and endured the pain, her will firm. As long as she didn't die instantly, she didn't care.
Under the attack of the mutant flying insects, Tao Sai rushed towards the meat ball and sat on the top of the meat ball. Only when he looked closely did he find that the meat ball was as big as a three-box sedan.
She raised her knife high and thrust it hard into the flesh, creating a long cut. Then she suppressed her nausea, grabbed one side of the cut with both hands, and tore it open with force.
She poured the explosive grenade in her backpack into the Queen's body.
Tao Sai stared fiercely at the inside of the meatball. The organs were constantly differentiating into new worms under the cover of sticky liquid.
"Go to hell." She used her last bit of strength to pull the ring of the explosive mine.
A more violent vibration than before came from the ground, followed by a long, dull sound, and the entire ground near the third-level insect acupoint collapsed.
Tao Sai lay exhausted on the lawn behind the main position.
"Sister Sai, you pulled out the third-level insect acupoint! Ahhhhhhhh!" Tang Yingxue screamed.
Shi Jiahui was speechless. After a while, she stood up stiffly and silently restored Tao Sai's exhausted energy.
"Sister Sai! You! Are! My God!!!" He Zhaonian shouted loudly into the headset the words that he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
Tao Sai recovered and sat up from the lawn. She looked at the swarm of insects that turned around and swept towards her more and more frantically, and her eyes became even more excited.
"Want to do something crazy again?" Tao Sai asked.
The communication channel was silent for a few seconds, and they all thought of the same question: Pulling out a level 3 insect acupoint, isn't that crazy enough?
"Push back."
Tao Sai stood up with his hands on the ground, and his voice was transmitted to the communication channel through the headset.
Tang Yingxue: ???
Shi Jiahui: ???
He Zhaonian: ??? The insect tide can be reversed? Oh my god, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
"The scale of the insect swarm attacking Quzhou City is not too large. I have mastered some techniques now, and I think I can give it a try. What about you?"
He Zhaonian swallowed hard, "...I'll listen to you."
"What should we do?" Shi Jiahui asked calmly.
"I will pull out the insect blood like I did just now. Jiahui, you focus on helping me recover my energy. Yingxue, you will be responsible for clearing out the mutated flying insects in the sky as soon as possible. The others don't have to concentrate their firepower, you can disperse your shooting to ensure that the damage does not overlap. I have absorbed most of the hatred of the insects, and they will no longer attack you alone." Tao Sai said quickly.
She added: "The key is to quickly remove the insects. As long as the rate of insect birth cannot keep up with the rate of insect death, we can reverse the process and even completely eliminate the insect tide."
The communication channel fell silent again. Everyone carefully digested Tao Sai's words, and their expressions changed from confusion at first, to surprise, and then to excitement.
Seems to work!
"He Zhaochuan, tell me the location of the second and third level insect acupoints first. Don't worry about the first level for now. Jiahui, cooperate with me to heal me." Tao Sai was ready to take action.
"But Sister Sai, I'm afraid I can't do it." Shi Jiahui suddenly said.
She'd actually managed to get through this point by sheer strength. She'd used the skill [Energy Replenishment] too many times, and her own stamina had cycled from full to empty and back to full over a dozen times. She could replenish depleted energy with the nutrient solution [Accelerated Digestion], but mental fatigue was still unavoidable.
Tao Sai was silent for a moment and said, "Jiahui, take a break first. Temporarily hand over the skills to someone you trust."
When Shi Jiahui heard this, she slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, right, how could I have forgotten about this!"
She forgot that the skill could be given to other [characters] and thought that the skill was fixed on her.
Shi Jiahui quickly obeyed. She only had her mother and brother she could fully trust. Her mother was caring for Manman, and even an elderly relative wouldn't be able to master the skills, so she called her brother, Shi Xinyu, up to the rooftop. Because of the good visibility, using the skill [Energy Recharge] remotely wouldn't be blocked by obstacles.
The character [Shi Xinyu] only has one skill slot. Shi Jiahui bought an additional skill slot and equipped him with [Energy Replenishment] and [Accelerated Digestion].
"Just like when you play other games, you use [Energy Replenishment] to restore Sister Sai's mana. If you don't have enough energy, drink the nutrient solution and then use [Accelerated Digestion]. I will sleep for an hour, wake me up after an hour. Remember?" Shi Jiahui explained.
"Don't worry, sister, it's okay." Shi Xinyu patted his chest and assured.
Shi Xinyu has always been reliable in his work, and with Tang Yingxue by his side, Shi Jiahui confidently handed over the role of nanny to him temporarily, and turned to go into the stairwell on the top floor to rest.
She sat against the wall, closing her eyelids that had been fighting each other madly with a sense of relief. She was already extremely sleepy. Although there was a lot of noise around her, with the sharp chirping of insects, the sound of lightning guns, explosions and the muffled sound of earthquakes, she still fell asleep quickly.
The energy distorted the space, and the wormhole vortex spun counterclockwise. Tao Sai left a clone in place and rushed into the wormhole.
The clarion call for counterattack has officially been sounded.
Although the firepower points of the three defensive positions were firing continuously, the insects' hatred was still focused on Tao Sai alone.
She switched her clones back and forth, her main body flew from the position to the sky above the insect acupoints a few kilometers away, and then returned to the main position from the depths of the insect acupoints. She pulled out the second-level and above insect acupoints one by one, raising the hatred to a terrifying level.
The insects on the ground jumped and twitched, their chirping became increasingly shrill, and their movement speed increased dramatically. The insects evolved from a normal "running march" to a "hundred-meter sprint."
But no matter how fast the bug speeds up, its movement speed will never be able to break through the limitations of space.
The two skills [Clone] and [Space Fold] allow Tao Sai to truly achieve seamless switching between spaces.
As the insect blood vessels were removed one by one, the death rate of the insects exceeded the birth rate for the first time, and the insect tide line began to shrink.
But the fighters on the three lines of defense do not have to actually leave their positions and push forward. "Push back" is just a symbolic term. Because of the insects' hatred mechanism, they only need to stay in place. Even if there is only one insect left in the end, it will crash into the muzzle of the gun.
Time passed by minute by minute, the electric gun became hot, the magazine was changed again and again, the diesel generator used up barrel after barrel of oil, and the muffled sound from under the ground continued to be heard. Those who were mentally exhausted took turns to rest... Shi Jiahui and Shi Xinyu, brother and sister, replaced each other, providing a constant supply of energy for Tao Sai and the entire team.
The battle in Quzhou City lasted all day, from early morning to dusk.
In the early morning, the insects and blood accompanying the Quzhou earthquake were pulled out one by one, and the entire insect tide was wiped out.
The insect corpse fragments piled up into a black and green ocean outside the city.
Because of the hatred mechanism, the bugs will not remain. As long as no bugs continue to rush towards Tao Sai's face, it proves that they have completely killed every bug.
"My hands are still shaking." Tang Yingxue said, raising her hand holding the electric sniper.
She and Cheng Li were the only two who could keep up with the speed of the mutated flying insects. They worked together to kill all of them.
"We actually fought back and destroyed the insect swarm. Who would believe it if I told others?" He Zhaonian's face was filled with glory and pride.
"Zhizhi and brother Xinyu have unlimited healing capacity. The most important thing is that Sister Sai is able to hold back the insect swarm by herself, which is equivalent to blocking a BUG." Tang Yingxue was in a good mood.
"It's amazing! Sister Sai is a genius. She can control the insect swarm at her fingertips." He Zhaonian recalled the previous scene, his heart still pounding.
She is like a dancer on the edge of a knife, performing difficult moves with great skill and courage that make people's heart tremble with fear.
"By the way, how is the evacuation of survivors in Quzhou City going? Are they safe now?" Shi Jiahui asked with some concern.
"Does that matter? Zhizhi, all the bugs have been killed!" Tang Yingxue reminded her.
They looked at each other and laughed wildly.
He Zhaonian suddenly thought of a serious question and exclaimed, "Does that mean we've rescued all the survivors in Quzhou? Even though Quzhou is just a small city, it must have a population of several hundred thousand, right? So, are our points going to explode?"
"One person counts as 500 points, so 500,000 people would be..." Tang Yingxue calculated the answer, "250 million points?!"
"Two hundred and fifty million divided equally among the four of us, each of us would have sixty to seventy million!"
"I'm rich! I'm rich! Oh no, I got a high score!"
