Chapter 66 Massive Casualties
Seeing that Zhao Yunyao and Pu Zhi had no objection, Liu Chuchun let them in.
The six people came in with gratitude and stood in the hall without walking around.
Seeing the solid frozen ground, several people's eyes were filled with envy.
Is this what that ice-type mutant called Xiaoren created?! Amazing!
Although their four teams also had mutant Maine Coon cats, they had no attributes and were transferred out to do missions. Only a few of them with poor abilities were left and could not deal with the bugs at all.
"Did Jinna go on a mission?" Liu Chuchun asked, tucking the hair around her ears.
"Yes, my sister and the deputy captain went together." Jin Nong answered with a sad face, his puppy eyes full of worry.
This time the bugs are many times more ferocious than last time, and I don’t know if my sister and Yangyang will be in danger.
Yangyang is the mutant Maine Coon cat raised by Jinna. It is now about the same size as a pony and has amazing attack power.
Pu Zhi silently observed the people from the four teams. Everyone had a look of worry on their faces. It didn't seem like they were worried about the bugs, but more like they were worried about their teammates.
Are they so close in relationship?
While waiting for the official dispatch from the base, many people came to the villa for help, including other hunting teams and ordinary people from Area 2.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the spray train and the medicine truck arrived.
Wherever it went, the insects were either roasted to death or poisoned to death.
After cleaning the outside, the staff began to clean the inside, and they were very considerate to pack up the dead insects and take them away.
Due to the special nature of the hunting team, the cleanup was scheduled for the end.
It was already one o'clock the next day when the others left.
In the temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, a group of people huddled back home, holding their clothes tightly.
Smelling the air filled with the scent of medicine, everyone in Team 2 couldn't sleep.
It was too cold, the ice layer on Xiaoren's body couldn't melt at all, and he would be woken up by the cold even if he fell asleep.
Xia Guang would occasionally post some photos of District 5 in the Team 2 chat group, and there were dead bodies everywhere.
There are almost no warming protection measures in District 5, and many people freeze to death every day. Even more people die when the insects come.
If you fall slightly in this temperature, you will never be able to get up again if you are slow.
Pu Zhi twitched her nose slightly; the air seemed to have a slightly stronger smell of blood...
Today was destined to be a sleepless night. When the sun came out the next day, the ice in the villa melted at an extremely fast speed.
It took a lot of effort for several people to clean up, and finally they sprayed the base's spray in all the sewers.
The ice in Villa No. 3 next door was a little thicker, so we didn’t come out until after eight o’clock.
Chen Ri walked out with a frustrated look on his face, getting angry at the remaining ice cubes. The ice cubes were squeezed into smoothies one by one, and the three teams just watched without saying anything.
At this time, Mother Du had just finished cooking and wanted Zhao Yunyao to take it to her, but Zhang Xiaobai and the other two happened to come back.
Xia Guang put his arm around Zhao Yunyao's shoulders and said with a gossipy look on his face, "Today, a powerful psychic came to the base, and he's a fire-type person."
"Oh, have you recruited him?" After saying that, Zhao Yunyao slapped his hand away in disgust. He had trained his muscles so hard that they were extremely heavy.
Xia Guang scratched his chin awkwardly: "No, the captain said he is not a good person."
Pu Zhi, who was not interested at first, was attracted all of a sudden. Zhang Xiaobai knew the fire-type mutant and knew that he was not a good person.
Could it be?
"Is it Jiang Quan?" Pu Zhi looked at Zhang Xiaobai for confirmation.
Zhang Xiaobai nodded with certainty: "It's him."
Pu Zhi understood in her heart that it was really him. She had not forgotten the mark of love on his face.
I thought it was a tattoo before, but now it seems that it is most likely a heart card mark. I just don’t know where he ranks...
But this guy is really miserable. There are so many things wrong with having a mark, but it has to be on his face. As soon as he enters the base, I'm afraid many people will stare at him.
Thinking of Chen Ri from Team 3, maybe I could let them face off first...
The base officials announced the death toll at noon that day: 30,019 in Area 5, 17,722 in Area 4, 1,530 in Area 3, 166 in Area 2, and 89 in Area 1.
There were quite a few injured. To be honest, no one expected such a high number of casualties.
In just one day, nearly 50,000 people died!
There are only about 200,000 people in the five districts, and one-tenth of them died in this instant.
Currently, Base No. 3 houses more than 400,000 people. If they continue to die at this rate, the base will be declared closed in a few days.
…
The effect of spraying the pesticide was significant. The insects did not appear again until the third day. This time the base was well prepared and the insect plague was quickly suppressed.
And the insecticide was sprayed once every three days.
The government's actions have been remarkably effective. Although the cost was enormous, the resentment among residents who had previously died due to the large number of deaths has been quickly suppressed. People everywhere are praising the government's efforts.
Lin Qiuzhi, the researcher who developed the special-effect insecticide, was also hailed as a god by everyone, and several mobilization meetings and lectures were held in various districts.
Pu Zhi didn't listen, but kept an eye on Jiang Quan's movements.
He did not rashly choose to join the hunting team, but first moved into the house provided by the base for people with special abilities.
These days, apart from changing to a usable mobile phone, he has not made any other moves.
On the app called Base No. 3, you can see relevant information about all the hunting team members, of course, it is very superficial.
Jiang Quan must have seen himself and Zhang Xiaobai, so he must be more cautious about joining the hunting team.
Pu Zhi has a teleportation card and can kill him at any time, but she doesn't plan to do so now.
There are more powerful card owners in the base, and I have to use Jiang Quan and Chen Ri to lure out the others! Otherwise, the others will always be a hidden danger.
These days, Zhang Xiaobai and his team are often transferred to do work by the base, so the task of collecting supplies outside the base has to be put on hold.
Ding Dong——
A message popped up on the phone. Pu Zhi opened it and saw that it was a mission for the hunting team, which other mercenary groups could not see.
: Dear Hunting Team, this is the official of Base No. 3.
Due to the recent excessive consumption of materials, the raw materials for special-effect insecticides have been exhausted and are in urgent need of replenishment.
Here, the base has issued the latest mission for the hunting team.
Collecting the corpses of Level 2 mutant animals that appeared during the insect plague will reward 100 points; Level 3 will reward 1,000 points. The reward for living animals is doubled.

Note: For this mission, the crystal cores can be handled by the hunting team themselves.
Seeing such generous rewards, it would be a lie for Team 2 to say they weren't tempted.
The most important thing is that you don’t have to hand in the crystal cores, so you can earn more!
Before Team Two could decide whether to go or not, Team Three came looking for them.
Bai Feng has a sturdy build, bronze skin and a pair of determined eyes that look like he's about to join the army. At first glance, he looks like a simple-minded person.
"Xiaobai, I've got my eye on that area south of Diwen City. The base says it used to be a granary, and there were mutant rats and other mutant animals there before. Should we team up this time? We'll try to get back within a day!"
