Only then did Xie Xuan clearly realize the locust's amazing bite force and vitality.
This vitality does not refer to how much vitality Xie Xuan can devour from each locust, but on the contrary, the locusts' vitality is absorbed very slowly by her special ability.
Xie Xuan inevitably fell into the same embarrassing situation as when she was in the underground ant nest, but fortunately, her current condition was much better than then, and she could fight these locusts back and forth without relying on Xiao Yao.
Next to Xie Xuan, Xiao Yao, whose supernatural power fluctuations were more intense, was surrounded by many more locusts than her.
Although Xie Xuan was surrounded by a swarm of locusts, he could still smell the increasingly strong smell of roasted protein in the air.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Xie Xuan was completely surrounded by locusts. Whenever a small group of locusts struggled and died in the black fog, new locusts would immediately come in to replenish them.
Compared to Xie Xuan's method, Xiao Yao's is much more violent.
He completely gave up on defense and threw a ball of fire at every locust that flew towards him.
The burning locusts did not die immediately. They flapped their wings and flew around, setting their other companions on fire.
The sky was full of flames as if it was raining fire, but unfortunately no one saw this scene. Xie Xuan was still busy fighting the locusts that were flying on her body, and Xiao Yao's body was inevitably covered with a few locusts that were burnt but not dead yet.
At this time, the passage of time was actually not noticeable. Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao fought back almost numbly until Xiao Yao's supernatural power was exhausted.
There are not many locusts still active. A thick layer of locust corpses has fallen to the ground, half of which are intact and the other half have been burnt.
Xie Xuan's condition is now much better than Xiao Yao's.
Although her protective suit was also bitten by locusts and had many holes and marks, compared with Xiao Yao, who looked like he was performing performance art with a piece of rag on his body, she could be said to be neat and tidy.
Xie Xuan pulled Xiao Yao up from the ground. The white mycelium protective film covering the RV had disappeared. The door opened and Ding Qiaoyun was standing at the door.
"Give him to me." Ding Qiaoyun stretched out her hand towards Xie Xuan.
While Xie Xuan was dealing with the remaining locusts, she helped Xiao Yao to Ding Qiaoyun.
"Oh, you are injured so badly?" Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
Xiao Yao pretended not to hear what Ding Qiaoyun was implying. "It's okay, just a superficial wound. It looks serious."
Not long after the two of them got into the RV lovingly, Chongming came out again.
"Do you need help?" Chongming asked.
"No need." Xie Xuan shook her head. "I'll take care of it quickly. Xiao Yao is injured and his superpowers are exhausted. I'll continue the sample collection mission with you guys later."
Before Chongming could speak, another voice sounded behind him, "I'll go."
Song Zhixian said, "I've almost recovered. Since I've taken a ride with you, I can't just sit there and do nothing. I've also been in the Development Department for a while, so I should have more experience collecting samples than you do."
If Xie Xuan had been more polite, she would have rejected Song Zhixian's kindness, but Xie Xuan was now quite clear-headed. She would never refuse someone who wanted to take the initiative to do a job, because there would be plenty of time for her to do the work.
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Xie Xuan said.
After spending some time clearing a barely passable path around them, the sample collection team set out again with a new member.
The ones left in the car this time were Xiao Yao, Xie Xuan and Yang Jiayue.
As a real weakling in combat, Yang Jiayue has become accustomed to staying in the RV with different people. However, it is the first time that Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao, the two main fighting forces, have been left behind together.
When Xie Xuan got in the car, Xiao Yao and Yang Jiayue were still exchanging information with Ji Lan.
Before the locust swarm arrived, Xie Xuan informed Ji Lan, and to be on the safe side, Ji Lan notified all the teams. As a result, the nearby teams 15 and 16 did not encounter the locusts, but the teams in the middle encountered a small group of locusts.
But thanks to Ji Lan's reminder, no casualties were caused.
Xie Xuan hadn't expected that there would be advance troops among the locusts, but now that the main body of the swarm had been eliminated by Xie Xuan and his team, the remaining ones should not be a threat.
After listening to this, Ji Lan sighed sincerely: "You are so unlucky."
Xie Xuan sighed in her heart, who said it wasn’t?
While Xie Xuan and the others were enjoying a rare leisure time amidst the aroma of burnt food, the atmosphere on the other side was not so friendly.
As soon as they were out of sight of Xie Xuan and the others, Ding Qiaoyun, who was walking in the middle of the team, turned off the team's communication device. "Captain Song, tell me, what is your purpose in looking for Xie Xuan?"
Song Zhixian was walking at the front of the group. Upon hearing this, he continued walking without stopping and without turning his head, saying, "Purpose? I'm just taking a ride with you guys. If you want to explain my purpose, it should be that I want to go to the C7 garrison."
"Heh." Chongming laughed. "Captain Song, who are you trying to fool around with? Xie Xuan isn't here."
Chongming and Ding Qiaoyun had their own purposes in coming to Xie Xuan, so they were very discerning about whether the people around Xie Xuan had ill intentions.
If Song Zhixian had no other purpose towards Xie Xuan, they could have written their names backwards.
After a brief silence, Song Zhixian coughed and said, "I'm just curious about this so-called savior."
He paused, then turned to look at Chongming and Ding Qiaoyun. "In a sense, you and I should be on the same side."
Song Zhixian looked at them and said, "Si Xun asked me to take good care of Xie Xuan outside the wall. If you don't believe it, you can ask him for confirmation yourself."
But they all knew that this was almost impossible. Once they were outside the wall, all communication with the inside would be cut off.
The only place that can contact the inside of the wall is the garrison outside the wall. Even if they can contact the inside of the wall, people of Si Xun's level cannot be contacted just because they want to.
To Si Xun, Xie Xuan was actually just one of his plans to save District 6, the one with higher feasibility and investment value.
Although Ding Qiaoyun is Si Xun's subordinate, she is not one of the core members.
Not to mention Chongming. As one of the core research results of Noah Technology, it is even more impossible for Si Xun to trust him and give him the opportunity to contact him directly.
Although Chongming could directly use Bai Ze's power to hack into Si Xun's terminal if he wanted, hacking into the terminal of a senior official in District 6 without permission is a very serious crime, and neither Chongming nor Xie Yuheng, who is standing behind him, would do that.
