Chapter 565: Unknown Bugs
Liping got up early in the morning and headed towards the fortress.
…………
After killing the people from City A last night, Xie Li took Xiang Yu to the City A camp that night.
But the two were still a step too late. The A City camp was already empty. After their people realized something was wrong, they left overnight.
Xiang Yu even searched the surroundings but couldn't find their people, including those cleaning team members who had hidden before.
I guess he left a long time ago.
"There is something here, come and take a look..." Xie Li looked at the things he found on the ground and hurriedly called out to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu quickly walked to Xie Li and squatted down. In the puddles was a transparent glass jar covered in mud.
There was a strange-looking bug in the jar, and it was as long as a finger.
“Take it out and let us have a look…” Xiang Yu frowned, and Xie Li reached out to pick up the transparent glass jar from the accumulated water.
The insect seemed to feel the shaking and woke up slowly, "What is this?" Xie Li was only a few years old when he was rescued by Xie Chunyan.
In the past, his mother had only taught him to see insects in books, and he was living in the city center, so he had no idea what insects looked like.
He rarely came into contact with them. A few years after the end of the world, all the animals died. He looked at the contents of the jar with curiosity.
"Is this... a bug?" he asked in disbelief.
Without oxygen, how do these insects survive?
"It looks like a bug, but it seems very different from the bugs I have seen before," Xiang Yu carefully recalled the memories before the end of the world.
She had memories of two lives. She grew up in Xiangjia Village, so naturally she had seen all kinds of insects, but she had never seen this kind of insect before.
Xie Li looked at Xiang Yu thinking with envy in his eyes. That was great. He also wanted to see what those bugs looked like.
He had only seen her in books before, but as he grew up, the figure of the woman in the white dress gradually disappeared from his memory.
The person who exists most in his memory now is Mother Xie.
“Hey...it seems to have moved. Look, why does it look like this...?” Xie Li was so scared that he almost dropped the jar in his hand on the ground.
There is a stone pestle next to it. If the insect is thrown out, the fragile glass jar will definitely break on the spot.
When Xiang Yu looked down, he found that the bugs in the jar remained in their original state, as if Xie Li's frightened look just now was a self-directed performance.
Facing Xiang Yu's puzzled eyes, Xie Li directly handed the jar in his hand to Xiang Yu, "I really saw it move just now, and it looks so scary, you can take it."
He didn't dare to hold it anymore. The thing inside took advantage of Xiang Yu's turning his head and opened its mouth to bite his fingers.
Under the wriggling wrinkled skin were densely packed teeth. After Xie Li was startled, the insect bit the glass.
When it saw that it couldn't bite Xie Li, it retracted its teeth and wrinkled its skin to hide its teeth inside its body.
Xiang Yu held the jar in front of her eyes. Xie Li's startled reaction just now did not seem to be acted. She slowly brought the jar closer to herself.
Suddenly, the insect inside opened the wrinkled skin on its upper body, revealing its dense teeth, and bit towards Xiang Yu's face.
Xiang Yu stared at the bugs in the jar without blinking. Judging from the style of the glass, it was probably from City A.
But they left in a hurry and probably left this thing behind.
I don’t know what this thing is.
The insect thought it had bitten Xiang Yu, and saliva slowly secreted from between its teeth. The mucus stuck to the glass jar, and soon the insect realized that it had not bitten anything.
It squirmed on the mucus it secreted, and soon the mucus covered its body until its entire wrinkled skin was covered with a layer of sticky stuff.
The mucus quickly dried up and formed a protective film on it.
"Sister Xiang Yu, what is this thing..." Xie Li asked curiously.
"I don't know either, but this thing is probably left over from City A. I don't know what it's used for yet. Do you want it?"
Xie Li waved his hands. What use was there for him to use this thing? Besides, it looked like the insect was quite aggressive just now.
If you carry it with you, you may not sleep well at night.
"I don't want it, I don't want it... You should keep it. Mother Xie is usually afraid of these things."
Seeing that he didn't want it, Xiang Yu took the thing in his hand and looked at it carefully.
