Seeing the saw teeth trembling, Shi Lan curled her lip and continued to slash at it.
The insectoid creature raised one forelimb to block, while the other hooked towards Shi Lan's neck.
Shi Lan smiled slightly, tightened her grip, and twisted her body strangely, skillfully dodging its horizontal hook.
With a sharp crack, the insectoid creature let out a piercing screech as its forelimbs were severed.
It turned its head to look at its only remaining forelimbs, angrily waved them at Shi Lan, and then attacked her with its intact forelimb.
Shi Lan pursed her lips, then lunged forward and passed under its forelegs.
The insectoid was overjoyed and quickly tightened its forelimbs, but Shi Lan pulled hard and hooked its head off.
A liquid gushed out, and Shi Lan wiped her face in disgust before quickly moving away from the insectoid creature's body. Only then did she smear the slippery liquid onto her clothes, whose color was now unrecognizable.
The headless Zerg swayed twice and rolled down the hill of corpses. The other Zerg continued to fall, screeching violently, determined to tear Shi Lan to shreds.
Shi Lan was about to run out of strength, but the rescue she was waiting for was still nowhere to be seen.
Shi Lan was a little discouraged. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on. Suddenly, she remembered the little conflict she had with Haoze before coming to do the mission, because of Yue Zhan.
In fact, ever since she started doing the mission, she has been trying to keep a certain distance from everyone.
But in the previous world, she broke this principle. In fact, even she herself did not know when she felt differently towards Yue Zhan. Fortunately, she was not oblivious. The moment she realized something was wrong, she immediately restrained her emotions and did not let things go beyond what she expected.
On her sickbed, she thought it would all end before she left, but unexpectedly, Yue Zhan was an unpredictable guy who would give up his life to be with her through thick and thin. She admitted that she was moved at that moment.
She understood that Haoze's question was well-intentioned; he was concerned about her and worried about her. But at that moment, she just didn't want to say anything, and she couldn't explain why.
She saw Haoze's state at the time, and she felt terrible, but she didn't know how to deal with it.
But now, facing the threat of death, she suddenly realized that nothing is more important than living. Perhaps she should hide everything that fills her heart in the deepest corner of her mind, and only take it out to think about it slowly when everything has settled down, when she can breathe freely, and when she is no longer troubled by tasks.
The Zerg continued their relentless advance. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in the distant sky. Shi Lan squinted, watching the light grow larger and brighter, like a blazing fire or a beacon of hope. Finally, a long-awaited smile spread across her face. (To be continued.)
