Chapter 155 A "Guest" from Another Region
The figure floating in mid-air faces the enormous ferocious insects. The swarm of ferocious insects flying towards the figure are erased by an invisible force, and the mountain-like ferocious insects attempt to raise their claws.
The scene unfolded like a slow-motion replay, captivating Rong Yi.
After a blink of an eye, everything returned to normal speed. A large number of small ferocious insects disappeared, and the mountain-like claws of the ferocious insects were also quickly vanished as they approached the figure. A heat wave swept over them.
Rong Yi suddenly woke up, and the movement woke Wei Yanqing, who was next to him.
"Having a nightmare?"
Wei Yanqing noticed that she had been having a lot of nightmares lately, and sometimes she would suddenly wake up during her midday nap.
Rong Yi was still confused. "I don't know. I've forgotten what I dreamed about when I woke up."
More than a week has passed since the meteor shower incident. They have been staying in their car these past few days. After their condition improved a couple of days ago, they went for a walk around the neighborhood.
The situation in China is mostly stable. The authorities have even issued a statement saying that the meteorite in the uninhabited area has been recovered and the fragments have been brought back for research.
As for the meteorite that landed in inhabited areas, the authorities could only evacuate the people there first. Due to subsequent notices, many people became aware of the existence of the saber-toothed insects and immediately reported any unusual creatures they discovered.
There aren't many meteorites that have fallen in China, only about thirty at most. Most of them have fallen in uninhabited areas, so they are not too difficult to deal with. Recently, the authorities have been sending more people to the border to be on high alert against the invasion of saber-toothed worms from neighboring countries.
Rong Yi sat up, intending to check his phone for today's news, but instead saw a message from Song Hang.
[This area is completely out of control. The saber-toothed insects have arrived in the big city from the wild, and the area ahead will likely fall in about half an hour. We've found a plane and are leaving.]
The message was sent more than half an hour ago: "Song Hang said that there is a possibility of the complete fall of Kolok and he has already left by plane. Is it that serious?"
The Kingdom of Kolo and this place are located at opposite ends of the planet, and the distance between them can be described as far.
Wei Yanqing opened his phone, and a special news item immediately caught his eye. "It seems what he said was true; it's already in the news."
Rong Yi immediately checked his phone and saw that all the headlines in the news media were about the country of Kolo.
[On the other side of the planet: The fall of the carnivorous insects, a living hell!]
The accompanying image shows a landmark building in the country of Kolo covered in people, with a vast army of ferocious insects below.
The comments were all shocked; in their minds, Kolo was a large, developed country, and yet the meteor shower had turned it into this in just over a week.
Although the Kingdom of Kolo was not the strongest country on that continent, it was still a third-tier power, so its current situation was truly shocking.
The players there killed many bugs, but due to the overwhelming numerical disparity, they had no choice but to retreat to other, relatively safer locations.
Rong Yi closed the news interface. "With such a big commotion, neighboring countries should take action."
Humans are physically inferior to the ferocious insects, but some weapons that humans can manufacture can cause enormous damage to lower-level ferocious insects, such as nuclear bombs.
Even the most heat-resistant sub-insect stage worms cannot withstand temperatures of several thousand degrees.
Wei Yanqing found a video with a caption that described how a person fleeing for their life found an unlocked phone and discovered the owner's last words recorded on it.
The video shows a family talking about their wonderful life over the past ten years and the impending doom they are facing. The family decides to die together and stay in their homeland.
He silently turned off the video. "Are you planning to stay in Zhongyang City?"
Rong Yi: "It depends. It's relatively stable here for now. We can't travel around without identification, so let's wait a bit longer."
·
"It's been almost a week. Can you finally draw a conclusion about this experiment?" Dou Wenbo frowned, looking at the dying ferocious insects imprisoned inside the circular building.
During this stage, the carnivorous insect's body is in a rapid growth phase. Without food replenishment, it begins to deplete its body's energy reserves to support rapid cell division.
In this situation, it tried to bite through the concrete, but failed, and now lies motionless on the ground.
Yuan Heng placed his hand on the transparent glass, focusing on the ferocious insect's weakness, "This can record the final result."
The researcher next to him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, typed the paragraph he had already mentally reviewed countless times onto the page, and then chose to save it.
Dou Wenbo let out a long sigh of relief. "Then I'll notify headquarters and issue orders for all departments to begin construction." He turned to look at Yuan Heng. "Any recent research results? Is the odor-isolating material you mentioned before really effective?"
Yuan Heng scratched the tip of his nose. "I'd forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it." He turned to his assistant and said, "Bring that thing here."
Dou Wenbo's eyes widened. "What's going on?"
"Just wait, they'll be here soon."
A moment later, the assistant came over with a small bottle and carefully handed it to Yuan Heng.
Yuan Heng's movements were much more relaxed. "This stuff is extracted from the ferocious insects. One drop diluted in a ton of concrete can effectively block the smell of people inside the building, so the ferocious insects won't notice that someone lives there."
Dou Wenbo, incredulous, took the bottle from Yuan Heng's hand. There were only four or five drops inside at most. "How could you forget something so important?!"
Yuan Heng yawned. "I've been so busy lately that I haven't slept much and my brain is a bit rusty. We extracted a total of one pound of this, and it's already been packaged. Even if you don't mention it, the people at the research institute will pack it up for you."
Dou Wenbo panicked, "One jin? How much dilution can one jin provide?"
Yuan Heng, with a stern face and arms crossed, said, "Then let's see how many carnivorous insect corpses you can bring back. The substance is extracted from its body. Only two grams can be extracted from one carnivorous insect. If you want more, then bring back more carnivorous insect brains that haven't been blown to pieces."
So it was extracted from the brain of an insect. Dou Wenbo nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll report this. Just wait and see."
Yuan Heng waved his hand dismissively, "Go and give you the task."
The assistant beside him watched Dou Wenbo jog away, then secretly glanced at Yuan Heng's tired face. Others might not know, but he could see how enthusiastic and crazy Yuan Heng had been about the experiments on the saber-toothed insects just two days ago.
Countless ferocious insects were subjected to slow slicing for experiments, but he sincerely admired Yuan Heng. Only a researcher like him could extract more value from the ferocious insects.
Yuan Heng rubbed his temples and asked in a low voice, "Is Laboratory Number Two ready?"
The assistant nodded repeatedly, "It's all set up."
"Hmm." Yuan Heng said with satisfaction, "I'm going to take a nap. Feed the creature inside more, but not too much. Just keep it at the sub-insect stage."
“Yes,” the researcher beside him replied.
Yuan Heng: "I sleep for four hours. Remember to wake me up when it's time."
The assistant followed Yuan Heng away, eagerly anticipating what amazing experiments Yuan Heng would bring upon waking up.
Inside the circular building, staff hoisted the sabers, removed the concrete, and then placed chunks of meat, the sabers' favorite food, into the container. They watched as the sabers tore into the meat, while researchers stood outside the building, looking down on them with disdain.
