Chapter 93 Necklace: The only antidote to sanity.
Like Lu Lin, as soon as they entered the talisman box, large amounts of ownerless energy rushed into the bodies of the queen bee and the worker bees.
Everyone was terrified and fought against the force like crazy.
It danced wildly in the air, its wings soon becoming tattered. It tried desperately to protect the queen bee and escape from here.
But in the old city lord's plan, this room was prepared to deal with his near-death state or a wandering soul.
He was worried that he wouldn't have the ability to activate the spell when he got to that point.
Therefore, it is directly set up that when a creature approaches, the operation program of the talisman will be activated directly.
All the energy accumulated by the previous talisman must be poured into the brain at once to end it.
But to a swarm of bees that was only the size of a fist, that enormous amount of energy was like a huge wave rushing into a stream as thick as a finger.
The stream was filled up in an instant, the embankment was broken, and the flesh and blood were crushed. The bodies and souls of the worker bees could not bear such weight, and casualties continued.
The wisdom that the worker bees had evolved at that time was simply not enough to understand this kind of change.
They only knew to try their best to form a protective circle and keep the queen bee firmly in the center.
After death, they also gave away their energy source without hesitation.
Honey-colored amber-like crystals are crowded together to form a small hill, protecting the queen bee, whose body is also not strong enough.
With that layer of protection, the queen bee finally had the confidence to persevere.
I began to try to accept the energy, and my body grew and evolved step by step.
The story in the dream had developed to this point, and Wei thought she could guess what would happen next.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the queen bee still did not evolve into human form.
She simply absorbed the energy in the talisman box while digesting the energy source left by the worker bees.
Her body grew bigger and bigger, repeating the process of pupating and shedding her skin over and over again. The breeding bee tail behind her also became fatter and fatter. With such a heavy burden on her body, her wings had long been unable to fly.
For some reason, Wei could actually see a hint of despair and regret on the Queen Bee's insect face, even though she clearly didn't even have any facial muscles...
When the energy in the talisman box was exhausted, the Queen Bee was unable to leave this cave-like place on her own.
She really had no choice but to give birth to another batch of worker bees and let them fly out to meet the worker bees that were still breathing and had not been infected.
Because they were bred in an emergency, these worker bees only have a lifespan of a few days and break out of their pupae as soon as they land on the ground.
No extra care is required.
Then the perspective in Wei's dream shifted.
She saw something broken and illogical.
Sometimes, two groups of bee colonies are fighting. They are so bloodthirsty that any evolved species passing by are unfortunately contaminated with bee venom and scale powder.
Sometimes the bees fly aimlessly in all directions, as if they are heading towards a dead end with no end and no direction.
Sometimes, worker bees hear it when they are dying. The overwhelming sound of insects flapping their wings is like millions of ancestors coming from another world to welcome them home.
The previous scene was enough to give Wei a headache.
When I think of these worker bees emitting emotions and sorrow, I realize that what they experienced is history that has already happened. Even if I want to help them now, I am powerless.
It made her so uncomfortable that she shed tears in her sleep, and she couldn't wait to wake up from the dream.
Suddenly, she saw Feng Qiang from the perspective of a worker bee.
She separated from her teammates and was concentrating on collecting seeds of special plants.
Wei heard Feng Qiang suddenly stop what he was doing and looked straight over here.
She was so frightened that she thought she was being watched in her dream.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qiang was only surprised for a moment, then scratched her head helplessly, "How can a little insect be so sad? You almost made me cry. What happened, little bee?"
Wei didn't know how Feng Qiang communicated with the worker bees, but she clearly saw her expression become very serious, and she immediately put away the tools in her hands.
"It's terrifying that there are such strange things in the southern forests that can make creatures evolve.
Could that be the city lord's real mission target...
I'm afraid the mission we accepted is just a cover. There are too many hidden dangers. No, I have to tell the team members!"
Then she ran quickly into the distance. Wei was really curious about what happened.
However, she tried hard for a long time but was unable to control the direction of her dream and shift her attention to Feng Qiang as she wished.
Her consciousness still remained on this worker bee that had only a few days left to live.
What followed was another fragmented scene. She saw that some of the newly born worker bees were also infected by the disqualified bees.
They turned from friends to enemies, and even tried to lure the disqualified bees to the queen bee.
It is completely random which bee Wei's consciousness is attached to.
She even attached herself to a half-infected worker bee that still had a shred of sanity.
She saw this worker bee, blindly following a large number of disqualified bees, not only expelling the infected worker bees, but also attacking humans who broke into the southern forest.
As the dense swarm of bees chased the young Lu Erya and her team members, Wei saw Feng Qiang kneeling on the ground, holding the energy source of a worker bee and speaking with his head down.
The next second, her consciousness returned to the Queen Bee.
She heard Lu Erya's voice ringing in her ears, and then she said something similar to what Wei had heard from Lu Erya not long ago.
She seemed to have been crying for a long time, and her voice was nasal. "I have empathy. I can help you control those disqualified bees and make them stop all activities until they starve to death. But you must let my team members go. You can't harm them in the slightest!"
Wei agreed to her request.
^
In this world where evolved species occupy the top of the food chain, empathy is an absolute killer.
If used well, it is even possible to control tens of thousands of evolved species to attack the city together.
But the biggest flaw of this ability is that it can be affected by creatures with which it empathizes, causing it to lose its sanity.
According to Feng Qiang's calculations, although it is very challenging to empathize with all disqualified bees in the short term, it is within her ability.
She has always been proud of her special abilities and likes to protect her teammates like a mother hen.
The evolved species controlled by supernatural powers should not get close to this team.
When she saw Lu Erya and her teammates being harassed by the swarm of bees and unable to fight back, she felt very sad and immediately wanted to control the swarm of bees to leave.
However, after reading the information she received from the worker bees, she was ready to negotiate with the queen bee.
Since she has to do the work anyway, she might as well take some benefits.
For the Hope Base, the southern forest has always been a tough nut to crack. If it can gain the favor of the local tyrants here, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful.
But this swarm of bees was really huge. Although she felt that she could control it, she had never used her supernatural powers at such a high intensity before.
And even if empathy is successful, you will probably be drowsy and weak for a long time afterwards.
In an emergency, she decided not to tell Lu Erya and the team members about her adventurous plan.
Let them know that they have to worry and obstruct, which is very tiring.
Feng Qiang himself is crazy and paranoid in nature. No one can change what he has decided.
Just do it if you want to.
The bees receive orders from the queen bee.
When Feng Qiang rescued Lu Erya who was attacked by an out-of-control swarm of bees, he immediately came over to lead the way for her.
Although she was mentally prepared, Feng Qiang was still scared to death when she suddenly saw a queen bee as big as a bus.
Insects themselves have a cold, sharp and inhuman feeling. Even if it is an ant the size of a sesame seed, many people will break out in a cold sweat if they stare at it for a long time.
Not to mention that she is now proportionally enlarged, with her mouthparts, antennae, and compound eyes all very noticeable, and the short hairs on her body have become as thick and dense as her mane.
Feng Qiang suppressed her fear and tried hard to negotiate with her.
Fortunately, the Queen Bee developed a lot of wisdom when she was trapped in the talisman box and forced to evolve.
The Queen Bee is unhappy that she cannot kill her teammates if they enter her territory if she dislikes them.
But she also knew that what was more important right now was to deal with the disqualified bees and restore the entire bee colony to its former tranquility.
Although the Queen Bee wasn't sure if everything could return to how it was now that she had evolved...
Feng Qiang didn't think too much about it. After sensing that the Queen Bee's attitude was sincere, she began to use her supernatural powers.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning because only the queen bee herself had evolved, and all her previous offspring were still only the size of a fist. Feng Qiang would not feel any difficulty managing hundreds of them at once.
But gradually, she began to feel overwhelmed.
This forest is so big that it seems that there is a disqualified bee hiding in every corner and under every leaf.
It will take at least several days to drain their vitality.
If she uses her empathy ability on a large scale once, she will probably fall asleep and it will take a long time to recover.
There is absolutely no way to do a second cleaning.
If there is a fish that slips through the net and starts to infect normal worker bees in the dark, all the efforts will be wasted.
So the best outcome is to find all the disqualified bees in the entire forest, empathize with them and control them.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
So Feng Qiang still gritted her teeth and persisted, trying hard to control all the disqualified bees into a motionless state in one breath.
The feeling of developing one's abilities to the extreme is terrifying.
At one point, Feng Qiang felt like she was losing control and about to disintegrate.
Lose the brain, lose the body, and become one, two, or thousands of bees.
In order to keep herself calm, she opened the necklace and looked at Lu Erya's smiling face on it, hoping that her childhood sweetheart could give her strength.
This necklace was bought together with Lu Erya's earrings.
To be precise, it was a gift from her boss who was in a good mood after she spent a lot of money to customize the explosive earrings.
The material is very ordinary, the workmanship is just okay, and it doesn't have any special functions.
It can only be hung around the neck as a decoration and is not worth much money at all.
But because there was a photo of her beloved girlfriend in it, this necklace became Feng Qiang's most precious thing.
This is a critical period when the empathy ability is overused and is about to riot and go crazy.
This really became the only antidote that allowed her to maintain her sanity.
The Queen Bee has always been with Feng Qiang, and the empathic link is still maintained, so she can fully perceive Feng Qiang's pain.
The golden amber compound eyes moved around, looking at her for a while, and then looking at the photo in her palm.
