Chapter 164 A "Guest" from Another Region
With a mobile home, Rong Yi no longer has to worry about sleeping outdoors.
Another point is that from the moment she noticed the ferocious insects were moving until now, Wei Yanqing has not asked her once how she knew this.
Because her teammates trusted her so much, Rong Yi decided to hatch a flesh worm so that her teammates could have a taste.
The white insect eggs were placed on a blanket and laid out on the grill, with a fire underneath.
Wei Yanqing watched from the side, his tone slightly doubtful, "Is this really okay? Won't the insect eggs be cooked?"
This doesn't look like hatching at all; it looks more like roasted insect eggs, just with an extra blanket.
“It’s alright,” Rong Yi affirmed. “The ferocious insects are resistant to high temperatures, and the species they cultivate are naturally the same. They can hatch after being baked like this for two hours.”
"High temperature resistance?" Wei Yanqing asked uncertainly, "But the temperature that penetrates the atmosphere is much higher than that of a fire. How can it hatch at this temperature?"
Rong Yi began to explain to him, and even took out a fragment of meteorite, "Because the meteorite covering the insect eggs has a strong heat resistance and insulation function, this is to protect their insect eggs. The meteorite can survive some of the eggs even if it falls to any harsh planet. With the landing reaction, the meteorite will transfer the absorbed heat to the insect eggs, which is why they are hatched soon after landing."
"So this meteorite containing the insect eggs is also a good thing."
Rong Yi nodded, "Yes, it's quite expensive."
She blurted out that sentence, and then froze, wondering why it was so expensive and who it was for.
Wei Yanqing didn't dwell on that. "Then we'll have to find a way to collect some meteorites in the future. If the situation here can be stabilized, then we'll go abroad to take a look."
Anyway, he has flying tools in his storage space, so he's not afraid of not being able to go far away.
Rong Yi knew that many meteorites had fallen overseas, "so we should take advantage of the internet now and mark the known locations of meteorites, so we don't miss the chance later."
The two leaned over the table. Wei Yanqing looked at the dungeon world map he had found and hand-drew the map himself, marking the locations where they had landed. Regardless of whether they could go there in the future, the matter had to be done.

After completing their reconnaissance mission, the fighter jets returned to base, and the three pilots reported what they had seen to their superiors.
The explosion by Jing Feiyang certainly couldn't have notified the indigenous people in the sky. Fortunately, all the fighter jets had run out of bullets and taken off, creating enough distance. When they saw the people on the ground running, they instinctively created even more distance.
Sure enough, a bright light appeared shortly afterward. Even though the pilot was wearing sunglasses, he was still blinded by the white light, and the plane sounded an alarm due to the blast wave.
After finally managing to stabilize the aircraft, due to a problem with the fighter jet, for safety reasons, it did not land at the previous takeoff point but instead made an emergency landing at an abandoned airport.
They barely managed to land, and the people inside were brought out for treatment, which delayed sending people to investigate.
The report was placed on his superior's desk. He glanced at it, then sighed slowly, closed his eyes to rest for a while, and said, "Xiao Zhang."
The person outside answered and came in.
The superior pushed the report forward, saying, "Report it up, and add a sentence: Although the people appearing on the border are strange, they are beneficial to us in dealing with the ferocious insects."
The woman called Xiao Zhang nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
She carefully picked up the report and quickly walked out of the office.
There have been many things happening lately, the most urgent being that neighboring countries have fallen one after another. Their country shares land borders with more than ten countries, so no matter how well they maintain their domestic situation, they still cannot escape the collapse of foreign powers.
Xiao Zhang thought of her family, who had already left Hua'an City, which put her at ease and allowed her to continue working hard here.
After completing the tasks assigned by her superiors, she took out her phone to contact her family.
So, have you left Hua'an City yet?
The father replied quickly: "Soon, the roads are quite congested. When can you leave?"
Upon seeing this message, Xiao Zhang's fingers rubbed the screen of her phone. How could she retreat? In Hua'an City, they had to stand at the forefront to stabilize public morale, otherwise the situation in the city would only get worse.
Don't worry about me. There are plenty of military personnel here. You won't have trouble getting there. Let me know you're safe when you arrive. I'm off to work.
After sending the message, Xiao Zhang put away his phone, cheered himself up, and continued to immerse himself in his busy work.
On a congested highway.
Zhang Ranran stared out the window and saw her father take out his phone to check messages. She leaned out and asked, "Has my sister replied yet?"
Her sister works in a government department, and because of her job, she can't leave Hua'an City like them.
"They're back." Father nodded. "Your sister told us not to worry, they can evacuate if anything happens. Sigh."
Seeing her mother secretly wiping away tears, Zhang Ranran didn't know what to say, so she could only shrink back and look out the window again.
Since the incident at the border, tickets for trains, planes, and even buses have been sold out; it's impossible to get one.
Many people drove away with their luggage, and the panicked reactions of those from neighboring countries who had escaped across the border infected others, and soon the entire city was packing up and running away.
Not only are there people on the road, but the animals that escaped from the mountains a couple of days ago are also disrupting the city's peace. For example, at this moment, there are not only a large number of cars on the highway, but also groups of animals running by. This situation makes everyone afraid to get out of the car, for fear of being harmed by these frightened animals.
Didi——
Zhang Ranran checked her phone and saw a message from a friend: "Ranran, are you on your way yet? Is there a traffic jam?"
Her friend's family hadn't left Hua'an City yet, but because her friend's father worked in a place a little further away, they hadn't set off immediately in order to wait for someone to return.
It's very congested, but we're almost at Jinliu City.
Okay, we've been gone for less than twenty minutes, and the city is in chaos. My car almost got smashed just now.
Zhang Ranran asked with some concern, "How is it now? Is the car damaged?"
No, my dad dodged quickly and sped away. I saw a lot of people grabbing things in the supermarket, it was terrifying. Luckily, your family left early.
Zhang Ranran was very upset. "We've left, but my sister is still in Hua'an City. I'm very worried about her."
[Your sister is definitely being protected by many people, so don't worry too much. I just saw some news online saying that it's not just the border area near our Hua'an City that's been attacked by alien insects; other places are too. My family is planning to go directly to the capital. What about you?]
[Same here, my sister repeatedly told me to go to the capital, saying that if they evacuate, they might go to a place closer to the capital.]
bump--
A deer suddenly appeared and bumped into their car. Zhang Ranran was so startled that she almost dropped her phone. Turning her head, she saw the deer's clear eyes. It was probably frightened as well, and it ran away.
At this moment, her mother, who was sitting next to her, said, "Ranran, are you hungry? We'll rest for a while when we get to Jinliu City."
Zhang Ranran just shook her head, then heard a noise and looked up to find that the array of fighter jets was flying over their heads.
She prayed silently in her heart that the country could withstand the onslaught of the ferocious insects, that her sister would be safe, and that Hua'an City would not be breached.
Zhang Ranran had so many wishes, and tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.
