Chapter 71 Ant Nest (2)
Shi Yan threw the pink crystal core to her and said, "Put it away carefully. The spiritual power inside is equivalent to the spiritual power of one hundred transparent crystal cores."
Qin Muxue held the crystal core and even felt that it was a little hot. He actually threw such a precious crystal core directly to her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and caught it.
"Be careful not to break it." Qin Muxue carefully put it into the space. Thinking that she had gotten a lot of benefits, she gave Qu Yanbai and Shi Yan a few transparent crystal cores.
"I've already taken advantage of it. Our team must make progress together to resist stronger enemies, so you must also absorb more spiritual power."
Shi Yan lowered his head and said, "I don't need it for now, so please keep it for me!"
Qu Yanbai also said: "See if there is any place on my body where I can put the crystal core, or I'll put it with you first. When I need it, I will naturally ask you for it."
Qin Muxue had to find a special place in the storage area of the space to store the crystal core.
"That's okay too."
The three of them sat together, expending a lot of energy. Qin Muxue took out a few bottles of mineral water filled with spiritual spring water, "Drink some water!"
"Ah, your spatial ability is still more useful." Qu Yanbai sighed, "Whatever you want to drink or eat, you can just take it out. You don't know how much I envy you."
Qin Muxue smiled awkwardly. This was the reason why many people wanted the space power. This was also the reason why she couldn't tell the truth. If outsiders knew about it, no one knew how many people would compete for this space gem.
As luck would have it, at this moment, the group of superpowers in the shelter appeared from a cave entrance. After seeing the three of them, they were slightly surprised. "I didn't expect that we would find someone alive after following the sound here."
"You didn't die?" The man in the baseball cap looked at the three of them. "You're pretty lucky."
Liang Le checked the corpse of the queen ant behind him. Countless insect eggs flowed out of the queen ant's huge belly, and these insect eggs began to move and seemed to be about to explode.
“These eggs are still alive.”
The man in the baseball cap was named Hu Zimo. He looked at the huge queen ant in front of him and began to feel sick. "This queen ant is so ugly and disgusting. It even has a woman's face." He walked to the human head and looked over it. He was so scared that he took several steps back. "It's her. How could it be her? She is the queen ant." He was still in shock. Thinking that she was dead and only had a pair of eyes without black spots staring at him, he took a few breaths before gradually calming down. But he was so scared that he could not speak.
Luo Miaomiao saw that it was a girl who had lived in the shelter and disappeared a long time ago. Unexpectedly, she turned into an ant queen.
The ground was littered with the corpses of male ants, and it was a mess. What was even more horrifying was that these male ants had the upper body of men, and only the lower body was that of ants. This was the first time that Luo Miaomiao had seen this kind of mutated ants. All she had seen before were mutated ants in the form of giant ants.
At this time, Qu Yanbai looked at Luo Miaomiao again, and the two were silent for a long time. He looked at Hu Zimo beside him, frowned, and said nothing more.
Qin Muxue had already sensed a strange atmosphere between them, but now was not the time to relax.
The insect eggs that rolled on the ground began to move. Before Hu Zimo could react, a young ant broke out of its shell. It looked like a human baby, but its lower body was that of an ant. After crawling out of the mucus, the young ant immediately jumped onto Hu Zimo's shoulder.
Qin Muxue seemed to see the facehugger from a movie she had seen before, and she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited. "This looks too much like an alien. I'm already feeling physically uncomfortable."
Hu Zimo started yelling and screaming. He felt like he was about to suffocate. His body fell backwards and the soil behind him collapsed because of his weight.
“Puppet!” he yelled, and the body of the male ant beside him suddenly stood up crookedly. The corpse helped him tear off the young ants on his face. He gasped for air and complained, “You just watched this hateful insect attack me?”
At this time, everyone was dealing with the insect eggs around them. Luo Miaomiao couldn't help but say, "Don't you see that we can't protect ourselves?"
Only then did Hu Zimo see the faces of Qu Yanbai, Shi Yan, and Qin Muxue clearly. "It's you? You're not dead?" While dealing with the mucus on his body, he stared at Qu Yanbai in surprise.
"No wonder you were so distracted, it turns out it's because you saw your old lover." Hu Zimo sneered, but saw that Luo Miaomiao looked at him with more and more horror.
"Huzi Mo, look behind you."
"What is there to be afraid of..." Before he could finish this sentence, he was almost frightened to jump up by the scene behind him. The mountains of body parts were like purgatory on earth. In the foul-smelling corpse water, there were several intact bodies of women. Although they were not as huge as the queen ant, it was not difficult to see that there were worm eggs in their stomachs, and things were still wriggling in their enlarged and almost transparent stomachs.
Qin Muxue felt a little sorry when she saw this scene. These women were not dead yet. It must be a kind of torture for them to live. She turned her face away. Shi Yan noticed her abnormality and said, "Don't look at it. Maybe death is a relief for them."
Just as he was about to kill them, Xue Le stopped him, "These can be used for research, don't kill them."
"In order to do research, we let them live in this kind of pain?"
"By using them for research, we can study the structure of these larvae and develop biological weapons to deal with them, which will be a contribution to humanity."
Shi Yan ignored him and said, "That's unnecessary. These insects are constantly evolving. You don't have enough time to study biochemical weapons before you are used as nutrients by them." He said these words coldly and killed all the insect eggs.
"You also have super powers, but I have never seen you before." Xue Le was a little surprised when he saw his cruel and fast methods. As far as he knew, there were no more than a dozen people with super powers in the shelter here. One team had been sent out to do a mission, and they were the team left behind. They entered the Yixue just now because of Commander Wu's order.
"I don't need to know you." Shi Yan cleaned the blade, said no more, and just stood in front of Qin Muxue.
Everyone started to deal with the remaining insect eggs, but there were so many of them that it would take a lot of time even if they did. Besides, it would be easy to cause the same situation as what happened to Hu Zimo just now.
Luo Miaomiao took out a radio and said, "Soldiers, you can come down now. It's best to bring some gasoline and lighters." The best way to kill the insect eggs here is to burn them to death.
It turned out that Commander Wu had already sent soldiers to guard the other entrance of the cave. Except for that entrance, all other entrances were blocked.
Among a group of masked soldiers who came down quickly, Qin Muxue seemed to see an old acquaintance, but before she had time to say hello, he went to do his mission.
Pour all the gasoline on the insect eggs. It was the first time for these soldiers to see such a disgusting scene. For safety reasons, all the bodies had to be burned.
Luo Miaomiao turned to look at the three people, "Are you also superpowers? Otherwise, how could you kill such a huge queen ant and get rid of so many mutant ants."
It seems that the fact that they have superpowers can no longer be concealed, and Qin Muxue admitted it openly.
Luo Miaomiao extended her hand. "Welcome to the shelter. I can arrange for you to meet Chief Wu immediately."
Qin Muxue touched her nose. She didn't have a good impression of Commander Wu, but she knew that he controlled an army and should be the highest authority here. However, it seemed that he was also afraid of Lei Yangzhou. She didn't know what was going on.
Luo Miaomiao stretched out her hand, but seeing that the other party ignored her, she could only put down her hand awkwardly, "The shelter welcomes people with special abilities. As long as you stay here, the conditions will not be bad."
Qu Yanbai stared at Luo Miaomiao's profile and suddenly remembered some past events. At that time, he had not retired yet, Luo Miaomiao was still interning, and Hu Zimo was also working. The three of them were college classmates, but they took different paths after graduation.
Because of his outstanding physique, Qu Yanbai joined the army and became a soldier.
Hu Zimo has always liked Luo Miaomiao, but Luo Miaomiao likes Qu Yanbai. However, Qu Yanbai was devoted to his career at that time and had no interest in relationships at all.
In his previous life, he was killed by a trusted friend, and that person was Hu Zimo, so he didn't look happy after seeing the two of them.
Hu Zimo said that the two were old lovers, but in fact they had never developed a romantic relationship. When Qu Yanbai saw the two of them at this time, his heart slowly calmed down.
Luo Miaomiao looked at Qu Yanbai, her eyes filled with sadness, "After so many years, you still haven't let go of that incident?" The incident she was talking about was that he was reported by someone and had to retire.
"It's been so many years, I've forgotten it long ago." Although he said he didn't care, his eyes were full of hatred as he looked at Hu Zimo.
A former friend became an enemy, and he was also the one who stabbed him in the back in the previous life. No one could treat him with a good face, and this was something that had always bothered him.
He clearly remembered that Hu Zimo had no superpowers in his previous life, but with his smooth and cunning personality, he was doing well in the shelter and was considered a capable man.
But now he has super powers. Qu Yanbai has seen his super powers just now. He can't tell what his super powers are specifically, but they seem somewhat familiar. Due to the presence of so many people with super powers and the army, he can only put aside the idea of revenge for the time being.
Qin Muxue looked at Qu Yanbai's unpredictable expression and asked, "So you two know each other?"
Luo Miaomiao smiled slightly and said, "We've known each other for many years."
Could it be that there was some hidden relationship between the two of them? Qin Muxue's gossipy spirit was aroused, but in such an environment, she really felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Whatever the matter is, let's go out and talk about it first!"
After going out along the cave entrance, I found that this was another secret room in the shelter. I still had to walk for a while before I could reach the shelter.
The worker ants outside had lost their backbone due to the death of the queen ant and were all killed by the army.
Lei Yangzhou was still arguing with Chief Wu. "If we let them in, it would be a waste of food. I will never agree to it. It is already my mercy to send out the army to wipe out those mutant ants."
Lei Yangzhou had other ideas, "My experiment will soon be successful, and then those potions will be able to turn all humans into superpowers."
"Hmph, you've been working on it for a long time, but still haven't succeeded. I've said this many times. I think you should first think about how to take care of the people around you! The materials needed for the experiment are extremely precious, and there are scarce materials in our shelter. Those psychics sent out haven't gained anything. Even if your research is successful, the potion will only be enough for a small part. Since the natural disaster has come, it means eliminating the weak. Why should you violate the laws of nature?" Commander Wu spoke with confidence, but in fact it was just to satisfy his own selfish desires. If there were more psychics, then stronger people would inevitably appear. At that time, the structure of the shelter would also change. It was hard to say whether he could still be the strongest person.
Now he lives a very comfortable life, with beauties and delicious food around him. However, Lei Yangzhou, who was sent by the government, is very annoying. If possible, he really wants to get rid of him, but Lei Yangzhou's strength is unfathomable. He can't grasp his weakness for the time being. Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty. Even the most ruthless man will like a woman. He knows that one of Lei Yangzhou's weaknesses is Xia Bing, who is his childhood sweetheart.
Lei Yangzhou knew he couldn't win the argument with them, so he stopped talking nonsense with him.
At this time, Luo Miaomiao came back with his men, "Report to the commander, this operation has been successful, we have successfully annihilated the queen ant."
Commander Wu laughed and said, "Well done." His eyes scanned the people behind them. He had seen Qin Muxue before, but he had never seen the other two men before.
"Miaomiao, why did you bring irrelevant people in?"
Luo Miaomiao was a little hesitant. If she told Commander Wu that they were the ones who killed the queen ant, she was afraid that Commander Wu would have other ideas.
Xue Le stood up and explained: "They are the people we rescued in the tunnel."
“Xue Le…” Xue Le shook his head, signaling Luo Miaomiao not to say it out loud, “I’m sorry, sir. I’ll beat them away immediately.”
Commander Wu nodded, "You did a great job. By the way, give the things to me. Also, leave that woman here!" Commander Wu pointed in the direction of Qin Muxue, "If I remember correctly, we agreed on this before."
Qin Muxue raised her eyebrows, but now she didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, Ding Manman and Wu You were already hiding safely. "I'm sorry, Commander Wu, I don't remember what we talked about. Don't you think so, Commander Lei?"
Lei Yangzhou snorted coldly, "Yes, I never promised you anything, and neither did that woman."
"You..." Commander Wu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he still held back. There was no need to tear his face with him now. "Don't worry! Commander Lei, next time I will let you take the initiative to offer this woman to me."
Commander Wu left with his men, but Luo Miaomiao turned around and looked at Qu Yanbai and the others, feeling a little worried. "Miaomiao, let's go. What are you still looking at?"
"Yes, I'll be right there."
Luo Miaomiao walked to Xue Le's side and asked, "Why did you say that just now?"
"Miaomiao, I know you have good intentions, but right now we are Chief Wu's most capable subordinates and the most proud psychics. We cannot let them be used by Chief Wu. Chief Lei seems to have the same strength as Chief Wu, but the army is in Chief Wu's hands. There are only three psychics. Can they resist thousands of troops?"
Luo Miaomiao sighed, "Now, this is the only way."
Hu Zimo, who was beside him, had been feeling a little uncomfortable since he came back. He kept rubbing his eyes. "I feel so uncomfortable. I'm all dirty. I'm going to take a shower." He muttered a few words, then looked at Luo Miaomiao sarcastically and said, "What's wrong? You're uneasy because you saw your old lover."
Luo Miaomiao looked at his receding back, her heart filled with resentment.
Xue Le patted her shoulder and said, "Miao Miao, don't pay attention to him. He is just like that. We just need to do our job well."
"Don't worry, Xue Le, I'm fine." Although she said she was fine, Luo Miaomiao was full of resentment. The moment she saw Qu Yanbai, the past events came to her mind again. The three of them were originally such good friends, but because of Hu Zimo's selfishness, Qu Yanbai lost his innocence and was forced to retire, and she herself... lost her innocence under the ravages of that group of gangsters. She had nightmares day and night during those days. One day, she would let Hu Zimo taste such pain, but he was extremely cautious and had no weaknesses. The offensiveness of his puppet ability was even stronger than both of them. Even though he had a bad temper, Commander Wu still liked such a powerful subordinate with the same hobbies.
At this moment, Lei Yangzhou started to ask questions only after Chief Wu left: "Qin Muxue, how did you appear there, and you were able to escape from the ant hole unscathed, I really underestimated you."
He looked at the two men behind her again. He had seen them before, and apart from being better looking, he didn't see anything unusual. It was not until he met Shi Yan's gaze that he felt a captivating feeling and took several steps back.
Qin Muxue sneered and said, "Lei Yangzhou, you are not scared by the so-called Chief Wu, are you?"
"I offended him because of you. I don't know what he will do to me. If you weren't Manman's friend, I wouldn't bother with you."
Qin Muxue walked to the table, controlled the water in the cup, and sprinkled it in the direction of Lei Yangzhou. Lei Yangzhou reacted very quickly, and a barrier immediately appeared in front of him to block the splashing water. "Qin Muxue, what do you want to do?" After asking this question, he then realized that the guy in front of him actually had superpowers?
"Are you a mutant?"
"That's right. As you can see, it's water power."
This was the first time Lei Yangzhou had seen water power. "I really underestimated you. Could it be that the two men behind you are also power users?"
"That's right. Otherwise, how do you think we could have escaped from the ant cave unscathed? Did we rely on them? When they came, we had already dealt with all the mutant ants. They just enjoyed the credit for our efforts."
"If that's the case, why didn't you say it when Chief Wu was here? Instead, why did you tell me about this matter?"
Qu Yanbai explained with a serious expression: "Isn't this simple? We don't trust Commander Wu, so we want to cooperate with you." He didn't want to form a team with Hu Zimo under Commander Wu, which would make him sick.
"Who is this?" Lei Yangzhou glanced at Qu Yanbai.
"His name is Qu Yanbai, he's my teammate, and he's right, we don't trust Commander Wu."
Lei Yangzhou walked around the table and sat on the swivel chair, and asked with interest: "What do you mean?"
Although Qin Muxue didn't like Lei Yangzhou, she hated Chief Wu even more. "I can see that your relationship is not good. In this case, why don't we join your camp? At least you won't hurt us for Manman's sake. But Chief Wu is different."
Qin Muxue leaned close to Lei Yangzhou's ear and said, "How about we get rid of him together? I hate him too anyway."
"You are very brave to have such an idea."
But what Qin Muxue said was right. He hated the existence of Commander Wu, the local tyrant, and there were three psychics in front of him. Although he was not sure about their abilities, the more psychics he had under his command, the better it would be for him.
More importantly, the woman in front of him is Manman’s best friend.
"Okay, I promise, happy cooperation."
Looking at the hand that Lei Yangzhou extended, Qin Muxue's hand was pulled over by Shi Yan, "Xiaoxue, don't forget that there are some important people."
"Oh, right." Thanks to Shi Yan's reminder, she remembered, "I don't care about the others, I still want to ask you for a few more people..."
…
Qin Muxue and Lei Yangzhou were too close just now, and Shi Yan felt very uncomfortable. He almost couldn't suppress his murderous intent.
Lei Yangzhou looked at the thin, pale, handsome man. There was an aura emanating from him that he had never felt before. At first, he thought he was just an ordinary psychic, but just at that moment, the floating power was so great that it gave him a splitting headache.
That guy seemed to be a very powerful existence, and seeing the way he stared at Qin Muxue very closely and listened to Qin Muxue's words with a serious expression, he could also feel that only Qin Muxue could control him.
"I can try my best to meet your requests. It's not that difficult for me to ask Commander Wu for a few ordinary soldiers."
"Since you have met so many of our conditions, I guess you don't mind having one more!"
Although Lei Yangzhou felt that they were pushing their limits, he still nodded, "You say, as long as I have the ability."
"Please provide us with enough food. I have a big appetite. Also, I'm hungry now."
