Chapter 172 A "Guest" from Another Realm
They gave them a slap on the wrist and then a sweet treat, and the player team they encountered actually followed Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, along with that group of natives.
But they were really something else; they took care of all the ferocious insects they encountered on the road, without them even having to lift a finger.
Of course, he was also secretly glad that it was Wei Yanqing who made the first move to show his power, rather than Rong Yi, whose Blazing Melt sword drew blood as soon as it was used.
Not long after setting off, Rong Yi and his group saw the familiar tank formation again.
When they saw that they had brought a full seven cars of people behind them, the people who came out of the tent almost popped their eyes out. How long had it been and they had rescued so many people?
Rong Yi readily agreed and handed the indigenous people over to the medical staff in the medical tent. He then turned to the officer to explain which of them were his kind and asked for payment for saving lives.
The players who had gone through so much trouble to reach Xia Kingdom were given accommodations and their cooperation was explained.
Hearing this, they were practically grinding their teeth in anger. No wonder they were so quick to say they wanted the indigenous people; they were waiting right there.
They thought they would never see each other again, but the two of them came to their tent again.
The players who knew their strength sat obediently, their resentful expressions well concealed.
"You've already brought the natives over. Is there anything else? You're not going to ask us for insect crystals again, are you?"
Seeing how nervous they were, Rong Yi pulled out a chair and sat down. "Of course not. I wanted to ask about the situation in your neighboring country. Have you seen any unusual-looking ferocious insects?"
Since the people fled from a neighboring country, it won't hurt to ask them.
Hearing this, the group frowned. "Aren't they all the same? The only difference is the size. What are you looking for?"
Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Rong Yi looked at Wei Yanqing again and found that the other party nodded, indicating that they really hadn't seen any unusual-looking ferocious insects.
Since that's the case, they'll have to find it themselves.
Only after stepping out of the tent did the players dare to breathe again.
Rong Yi stretched his shoulders. "Why don't we keep going down that road? We might run into someone again."
I encountered two living people on one route.
Wei Yanqing: "Anyway, there's still plenty of time. Finding one a month would be considered lucky."
The two hadn't walked far when they saw the group of indigenous people who had been rescued, and they saw the two of them as well.
Someone stepped forward. It was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and graying hair. Standing next to him was a girl who looked to be in her teens. She was still in a daze, probably because she had been quite frightened on the way. She seemed not to have recovered her senses.
The uncle excitedly grasped Wei Yanqing's hand, "I haven't properly thanked you for your help yet. If it weren't for you on the way, we would have been thrown out to be eaten by insects. Thank you so much!" He even knelt down as he spoke.
Wei Yanqing tightened his grip, preventing the uncle from kneeling. "It's alright. We also received benefits from the authorities for saving you. We didn't do our job for nothing."
Despite saying that, the uncle still shook his head vigorously, "That's different, anyway, I have to thank you."
Thinking that they had also escaped from a neighboring country, Rong Yi tilted his head and asked, "Uncle, did you see any strangely shaped or oddly colored worms in the neighboring country?"
The middle-aged man didn't react immediately, "Huh? A savage worm?"
He had been in a neighboring country. The term "savage insect" was first used by the Xia Kingdom. Later, the situation developed extremely quickly. Before he could hear the news online, most parts of the neighboring country were in chaos. Not to mention the internet, even the power went out.
Rong Yi: "Yes, they are the insects that are rampant everywhere. They are mostly black, but there is a kind with a red back. Have you seen it?" As she spoke, she gestured to the back of the insect.
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly, but the girl next to him changed from a dazed expression to fear and hid behind him.
Wei Yanqing sensed the change in her emotions and released his healing power. Soon, the girl's eyes regained their light, and she hugged the uncle and cried loudly.
The uncle was at a loss. "What's wrong, Yueyue? It's okay, we're safe now. Daddy's here."
At this moment, he felt that it was a good thing that his daughter could cry. Before, she seemed a bit silly, and he was worried that she might have a mental breakdown.
People around looked over curiously, but when they saw that it was someone who had fled from a neighboring country crying, they turned back to their own business.
I can't even imagine how many terrible things I went through on my way here, so it's normal to cry.
·
Seeing the girl crying so miserably, Rong Yi could only watch helplessly, while Wei Yanqing gave her a look that said, "Take it easy."
After the girl had cried enough, she slowly lifted her head from her father's arms, hiccuping as she asked intermittently, "Are you... looking for... red worms on your backs?"
Rong Yi nodded, "That's right, that's the mother insect. Killing it will at least prevent the neighboring country from having a continuous stream of insects."
The girl struggled to stop her hiccups and, after calming down a bit, said, "I've seen the bugs you're talking about."
The man was a little surprised, as his daughter had never mentioned this on the way. But thinking about it, it made sense; the situation was so critical that he was too busy running away to talk.
The two of them weren't in a hurry and waited for her to calm down.
The girl began to talk about seeing the mother insect: "There is a small hill behind our school, and there are many fields at the foot of the hill. We often see villagers working there. On the day of the meteor shower, nothing happened at our school, but a rather large meteorite fell in the backyard. When school let out in the morning, I saw police officers from Luo Guo surrounding it."
“We didn’t take it seriously at first, and we continued with our classes in the afternoon. Some students noticed that the police car was still in that spot, and some people were curious and wanted to go take a look, but soon a lot of insects ran into the school, and many students died.”
The girl's lips trembled as she spoke, "Then I ran with my classmates. When we were going downstairs, I saw a bug with red lines on its back. Other bugs carried it away as if they were lifting it up. I didn't think much of it at the time and quickly left the school to find my dad."
The uncle patted his daughter's head. "Later, Yueyue found me. We were originally going to return to China on a bus, but we encountered those bugs on the way. These things are everywhere in the country. A couple of days ago, we met that group of people who took us with them, but they would throw people off the bus to block the bugs... At the time, we thought that maybe we would be lucky and not be thrown off the bus, and that we could return to our homeland alive."
The truth is, it was fortunate that they met Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing; otherwise, the indigenous people would have been abandoned along the border.
Rong Yi: "Where did you go to school, and what was the name of the hillside where you last encountered it?"
The girl wiped away her tears. "I study at Ridel High School in Kshatriya, the capital of Luo Kingdom. That hillside doesn't have a name."
Wei Yanqing nodded, "This is enough. Thank you for your information; it's very important to us."
The girl smiled shyly, "I'm glad I could help you."
They had escaped from Romania empty-handed and had nothing to offer as a token of gratitude. This information, which helped their benefactor, put the girl's mind at ease.
During the conversation, the people who were rescued later stood there listening to what they were saying. A small number of them were from Xia, most of them were from Luo, and there were also a dozen or so foreigners from different countries who were traveling in Luo.
