After returning to the stone house, Shen Zhiyi immediately video-called Sangsang and Chen Peng.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Peng said directly, "There's something in the snow, Zhiyi, be careful when you go out."
Shen Zhiyi was taken aback, then immediately realized, "You noticed?"
Chen Peng nodded, "I observed it outside for a while and found that the insects grow bigger by eating snow."
Shen Zhiyi's heart sank.
"What?" Sangsang finally answered the video call. "What kind of bug?"
"Sangsang, have Ah Feng go out and check if there are any wriggling worms on the nebula outside. If there are, get rid of them from the nebula as soon as possible."
Shen Zhiyi continued, "If that insect's mouthparts really bit a person, they'd probably tear off a piece of flesh."
Sangsang was startled. She hadn't gone out for the past two days. How much had she missed?
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"By the way, Zhiyi, I got a special snowflake, the kind that doesn't melt. I've already traded it over, remember to collect it." Chen Peng was about to hang up the video call after finishing his business when he suddenly remembered and quickly reminded her.
Shen Zhiyi was pleasantly surprised, not expecting that Chen Peng also had one.
"good."
After hanging up the video call, Shen Zhiyi took out the snowflakes that Chen Peng had traded for.
She then took out the one she had received earlier and compared them side by side; they were indeed different.
Just as I finished collecting the snowflakes, a message from Sangsang came through our small group chat.
Sangsang: "I was so scared! Luckily you told me in time. I just saw two of them outside and on the roof, and they were huge!"
Sangsang: "It's almost as big as a cub! It still tried to bite me, but luckily I dodged quickly."
Shen Zhiyi frowned. She had seen the little cub before. Was Sangsang's white worm really that big as the little cub?
This is not good.
Shen Zhiyi went to the window and looked at the snow outside.
The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, and since the insects were white, they were hard to spot when mixed in with the snow.
Shen Zhiyi: "We need to clean up the snow outside regularly, otherwise we won't be able to detect the insects in time."
Chen Peng: "Players in the Seventh Galaxy have already fallen victim to these insects."
Chen Peng: "Once bitten by that bug, it will suck a person's blood dry. After sucking blood, the bug will turn red and is very difficult to kill. The only way is to get it into interstellar space."
Meanwhile, the chat area was in an uproar, with everyone talking about the bug.
"If this system wants our lives, it should just say so. Why bother with all the procedures?"
"It's extremely cold, and there are insects everywhere. They might as well just kill us all."
"Be careful, once that bug is fully mature, it will crawl towards humans!"
"??? It has built-in location tracking?"
"You could say that immature insects will stay in one place and keep eating snow until they reach maturity, and once they do, they're doomed!"
"If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, the insect will keep following you until it sucks all your blood out."
"That's terrifying, so scary!"
Shen Zhiyi and Sang Sang were reading other players' discussions in the chat area.
After obtaining useful information, they returned to their small group of three.
Sang Sang: "It seems there's no way to deal with those bugs for the time being."
Chen Peng: "Go out and take a look around more often, so that the insects don't have a chance to take advantage."
Shen Zhiyi didn't reply, closed the panel, and the Yeti on the nebula returned to normal.
Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, Black Wolf took the initiative to go out and deal with the Yeti.
Fox Moon and Dried Fish followed them out, picking up things while observing whether anything that shouldn't have been born had appeared.
Shen Zhiyi went to the crafting table and made a broom and a dustpan, then brought out the all-purpose trash can to prepare for shoveling snow.
Snow can't be swept into space; it can only be dumped into the all-purpose trash can.
After picking up the items, Fox Moon transformed into human form and came to help Shen Zhiyi.
Seeing so many creatures appear at once, the little snow monster forgot about the glowing pearl on its belly and headed towards Shen Zhiyi and the others.
Suddenly, a white insect appeared out of nowhere!
Its size is almost the same as that of a dried fish.
The insect opened its mouth and lunged at Fox Moon.
The insect sensed that the food in front of it tasted the best! It would eat it! Eating it would allow it to enter the next stage of cocooning!
Shen Zhiyi reacted quickly, taking out her Silver Moon Spear and swinging it at the insect.
The insect was now completely focused on the flesh and blood on Fox Moon's body, and before it knew it, Shen Zhiyi had struck it squarely.
The insect was about to fly out of the nebula's range, but it suddenly turned and landed on the fence next to the nebula.
"Tsk." Shen Zhiyi thought they had eliminated them.
The insect knew it couldn't fall into interstellar space, or it would be torn to pieces.
Its two tiny, beady eyes on its head stared cautiously at Shen Zhiyi, afraid that she would make another move.
It was somewhat wary of the Silver Moon Spear.
Black Wolf and Dried Fish also stood guard around Shen Zhiyi and Fox Moon, understanding that the insect had its eye on Fox Moon.
There will be no peace until this bug is killed.
"squeak--"
The insect suddenly let out a piercing cry.
The insect's chirping was so piercing that Shen Zhiyi reached out to cover her ears, but it was no use; the sound was simply too penetrating.
Fox Moon and the others weren't much better off. Although Fox Moon and Black Wolf didn't cover their ears, they were clearly uncomfortable from the sound.
The dried fish was even more obvious, its two paws tightly covering its ears.
Seeing that its chirping was effective, the insect chirped even more enthusiastically.
