Chapter 393 Transmigrating into an Interstellar Novel and Sweeping Away the Male and Female Protagonists (45)
With a scream, the insectoid creature fell directly from the tree and crashed heavily into the swamp.
Jin Shu picked it up to prevent it from sinking into the swamp.
A deep wound on its neck rendered the insectoid incapable of moving. Jin Shu turned on her searchlight and looked at it, then noticed that its pupils were rapidly contracting along with the halo around them.
"Ling Xiao sent you?"
The other person clearly understood Jin Shu's meaning and struggled weakly for a moment.
Jin Shu smiled.
"The Thousand-Man Mask is indeed very useful, but it has a drawback: it cannot change the person's pupils."
If I'm not mistaken, you should be the blond guy following Ling Xiao, right?
Did she tell you I was very powerful before she sent you? She herself is no match for me, so she sent you to your death.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. If I did, the Third Regiment would come after me. But you're in trouble now too."
After saying that, Jin Shu pressed the razor blade hard against the other person's carotid artery again.
"Are you planning to die looking like this?"
After speaking, the insectoid's face slowly changed, and its originally ferocious and terrifying mantis face quickly transformed into a human-like appearance.
Jin Shu's guess was absolutely right. It was indeed that blond guy, following closely behind Ling Xiao, his heart and eyes filled with Ling Xiao, his admiration almost overflowing.
Ling Xiao is really good at making use of trash; she sends men who like her but whom she doesn't like, directly to their deaths.
Killing Jin Shu would be the best outcome.
Even if Jin Shu kills him, the man happens to be wearing a surveillance device, and the entire process of his death will be recorded. Then Jin Shu can be charged with harming her comrade.
This is a serious offense. Harming a comrade is a first-degree demerit in the Allied Legion. Not only will your rank be revoked and your military status stripped, but you might also be punished with electric shocks, making it impossible for you to ever recover.
In short, no matter what, Ling Xiao will achieve her desired goal.
The only price to pay is a dispensable suitor.
Jin Shu bent down, reached out and pried the surveillance lens out of the man's eye, then crushed it with one hand.
"You're not the only one who has this kind of thing; coincidentally, I have it too."
After saying that, Jin Shu pointed to her eyes and smiled gently.
"From the moment you attacked me until you revealed your true appearance in front of me just now, everything was filmed."
"What do you think would happen if I handed these over to the teacher?"
The severely injured blond-haired man was clearly frightened.
His life is now in someone else's hands, and his future is also being tightly controlled.
With nowhere else to turn, he slowly knelt down.
"What do you want me to do? Please, just don't kill me."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
After saying that, Jin Shu raised her hand and slashed hard at the other person's neck.
The next second, the man collapsed and passed out.
Jin Shu hid the person in a tree, then wiped the blood off her hands and turned back to the swamp bank.
Since there are no surveillance cameras, no one will notice what she does now.
Just then, her frozen time began.
Alright, let's get started.
Jin Shu walked ashore, first carrying Kress, who was still on the bank, then turned around and walked towards the other side of the swamp.
Over the next few hours, she made four trips back and forth, carrying all four team members to the other side of the swamp.
Of course, doing all of this is not enough. Freezing time cannot kill people, but it doesn't say that you can't do other things.
Jin Shu had plenty of strength, and since she had so much time to spare, she went straight to Ling Xiao and the others in the mist and carried them back one by one, taking all the usable items from their backpacks with her.
Finally, and of course, we can't forget the support structures under their feet.
After removing it, Jin Shu threw all the extra supports into the depths of the swamp.
After finishing all that, Jin Shu took out a small bottle from her pocket, opened it, and saw that the insect eggs she had collected a couple of days ago had successfully hatched into a nest of densely packed, colorful little insects.
She sprinkled all the small insects on these people, and after she finished, Jin Shu turned around and returned to the other side of the river. Before the stillness ended, she lay down, closed her eyes, and began to rest.
When the stillness ended, Huang Zheng was the first to open his eyes. After a moment of puzzled silence, a terrified scream rang out.
"What is this thing?!"
This call woke Jin Shu up, and she then asked a question, feigning surprise.
"How did I end up sleeping here?"
Huang Zheng was clearly still confused about where he was.
He got up and frantically patted his team uniform, then frowned at his swollen, red wrist from the bites, and the colorful bugs that hadn't yet crawled off his body.
At this moment, Harry, Kress, and Anning also woke up. One or two colorful bugs, about the size of a little fingernail, were found on each of them, and they looked a bit disgusting.
Huang Zheng was bitten several times, and several large bumps appeared on his neck and face, but the bumps were neither painful nor itchy, so he was relieved.
What kind of insect is this?
How did we get here?
"Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, are we at the end of the rainforest now?"
Kress quickly parted the grass in front of her and looked ahead, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief and took another closer look.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? How did we get here?"
It's one thing if she saw the finish line alone, but if everyone saw it, that can only mean one thing.
"We really are at the finish line."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally all looked at Jin Shu.
"Peya, what are you doing here? Weren't you with the people from the Third Regiment?"
"I don't know, I became a little disoriented after being bitten by the insect."
Huang Zheng picked up an insect and examined it closely.
"Why does this thing look so familiar?"
"Hey, this looks like the one our instructor taught us about when we were in Zerg class at the Alliance Military Academy... what was it called again... something like a sheath..."
Anning chimed in from the side.
"The variegated elytra, also known as the hallucinogenic insect, is a low-level venomous insect species with a short lifespan and a body size of about three centimeters. Its mouthparts are venomous, and those bitten will fall into a hallucination and lose all their memories upon waking up."
Hallucinogenic bugs are afraid of high temperatures and prefer damp, cold environments. I guess they came here because we were bitten by the swamp earlier, causing us to hallucinate.
Kress silently gave him a thumbs up.
"As expected of the top student in academic subjects at the military academy, I've long forgotten all of this stuff. All I remember is that this thing was so fancy and disgusting."
After hearing what An Ning said, Huang Zheng tried hard to recall, but he really couldn't remember anything.
"What exactly happened yesterday? How can getting bitten by this bug make passing the level so easy?"
