"Attention survivors! Due to a large-scale insect infestation in the urban and suburban areas of City B, the base has decided to conduct a comprehensive chemical extermination operation. Because this chemical can cause harm to humans, survivors still in City B are urged to evacuate immediately. The extermination operation will begin tomorrow afternoon. Please evacuate within the specified time..."
Two days later, Lin Ruo had just finished exercising and was wiping the sweat off her face with a towel when a notification from the B City base came on the radio in the living room.
Lin Ruo paused, wiping his sweat. Tomorrow afternoon? Isn't that when the insect swarm breaks out? Did the B City base time this massive extermination operation precisely, or was it just a fluke?
Lin Ruo washed the towel in her hand with her water-based supernatural power and hung it back in the training room before muttering, "Drug-based elimination?"
This must be a drug developed by the research institute at the B City base. After these insects mutated, ordinary insecticides are no longer effective against them. It seems that the B City base has developed a new drug specifically for them.
Lin Ruo's eyes darkened immediately. A unified annihilation. This time, the B City base might deploy transport planes.
The fortress will most likely be placed within the spraying range. For safety reasons, we'll need to store the fortress, Afu, and Ashou in our spatial storage to avoid attracting the attention of the B City base.
Tomorrow afternoon she will go to the urban area of City B to take a look. If the base in City B can really kill all the insects this time, although the insect corpses cannot be eaten, the crystal cores inside can be used.
Thinking of the number of crystal cores she obtained during the last rat swarm, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't wait any longer.
Afu and Ashou lifted their heads from the food bowl, sensing that their owners were acting strangely again.
After her initial excitement, Lin Ru put the matter out of her mind. She had already finished making all the parts for the crossbows in the past two days, and today she would begin the formal assembly.
She ate a few steamed buns and drank some milk for breakfast. Then she turned on the robot vacuum cleaner and ran upstairs to see how powerful the crossbow made of black jade crystal really was.
When she arrived at the laboratory on the second floor, the workbench was filled with the parts she had made. She had made more than twenty of each type of part, and they were arranged neatly.
She took out another intact crossbow from her spatial storage, and while scanning the assembly structure of the intact crossbow with her mental power, she tentatively began to assemble it with her hands.
The assembly took a full three hours, and by the time Lin Ruo finished assembling the black jade crossbow, it was already noon.
Lin Ruo examined the black jade crossbow in her hands with great delight. It was the most exquisite weapon she had ever made, and she couldn't wait to test its power.
She quickly went downstairs with her crossbow; Afu and Ashou had already gone out hunting and hadn't returned yet.
After she got dressed at the door, she ran out of the gate. When A-Liu saw that Lin Ruo had finally come out of the house, she waved her willow branches and acted coquettishly towards Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo raised the crossbow in her hand towards A Liu, "A Liu, look! I made this! Let's test its power together."
Ah Liu's willow branch tilted slightly to the side. It didn't recognize the thing, but its owner said to try it, which probably meant to play with it.
Lin Ruo didn't intend to use A Liu as a test subject. This black jade crystal was extremely sharp, and it wouldn't be good if A Liu got hurt.
She simply raised her crossbow and fired at a tree a few dozen meters away. The tree was a dead tree with a diameter of about one meter. "Bang!" "Swoosh!"
The arrow made of black jade crystal easily pierced the trunk of the dead tree, and shot hundreds of meters further before embedding itself firmly in the ground.
Lin Ruo ran over quickly and saw that the arrow was stuck in the frozen ground, and the arrow shaft was not even halfway in.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. The arrow still had such force after piercing such a thick dead tree. It was much more powerful than the bullets from sniper rifles and machine guns.
With such force, even large mutated animals could be easily shot into the heart by Lin Ruo, killing them with a single arrow!
Lin Ruo was more fond of the crossbow in her hand. If she was so fond of just one crossbow, what if she could get a more sophisticated weapon? Or what if she could mount an even larger crossbow on the fortress? Lin Ruo's eyes slowly darkened, and she quickly went upstairs to continue her research.
Ah Liu's willow branch tilted slightly in mid-air, not understanding why her master had been so easily startled lately.
On the frozen streets, swarms of insects appeared in many places. Some of these insects were feeding on corpses, while others were chasing passersby. Many people were overwhelmed by the flying insects and could only scream in agony.
Some people haven't even had a chance to set off yet.
"quick!"
"Bring all these things with you; you might be able to exchange them for some points when you get to the base."
"We don't need to, it's only for two days, why should we bring everything?"
"You know nothing! What do you mean two days! Do you know if these bugs will die? Do you know how long it will take for the medicine to dissipate? Do you know that after it dissipates, these dead bugs won't pose any harm to us?!"
"What you said seems to make sense."
"Hurry up and pack your things!"
Lin Ruo walked down the street fully armed in a thick down jacket. She had already applied an invisibility water film to her body, which could keep the insects away.
She walked down the street, listening to the screams that kept ringing out around her, and watching the people or mutated animals being overwhelmed by insects. The whole city seemed like a living hell.
"boom!"
In the distance, a building more than ten stories high collapsed with a crash. Lin Ruo didn't need to look to know that it must have been caused by these insects. Some kinds of insects not only eat meat but also gnaw on buildings. Some insects even burrow into the ground, causing buildings on the ground to collapse when the ground is unable to support them.
"The city has changed so much in just a few days. These insects are even more destructive than those mutated rats."
