Chapter 889: Chapter 889
"Who wants the remaining S-Class Curved Knife?" Dantai, with a sense of righteousness akin to Ichi no Hana Hasu, couldn’t be too ruthless as a commander. Seeing that nobody was speaking up, he gave it to Ai Yixin, whose wife still lacked an S-Grade melee weapon.
"Two Space Wristwatches, one for Yixin and one for Sha Ou." Actually, Dantai wanted one for himself as well, even to give to Tang Zheng, but as the one he currently had was a gift from Tang Zheng, he didn’t want to owe him that favor, "Forget it, after all, Tang Zheng is not the kind of person who fusses over such things."
Ai Yixin was delighted, carefully exploring the wristwatch. It took her six game sessions to finally get one.
Seeing the expression of the married woman, Sha Ou knew that the equipment was valuable. He scanned it with the wristwatch and was immediately astounded.
"Wow, a special product prop, so expensive!" Original content can be found at novel✶fire.net
"In total, we have four First Aid Kits and twenty-seven Nanomechanical Injection Fluids; we four will divide them up. There are also two Thunderstorm rifles; Platoon Leader Gao, take them and see to their distribution." Killing two Conquerors indeed resulted in a huge harvest. As for the survivors, they didn’t have anything good, just two unblemished firearms. Dantai didn’t care and tossed the space backpack to Platoon Leader Gao, while the worn-out protective clothing was thrown to Lin Weiguo.
The rest were various supplies worth a total of five thousand points, mainly ammunition, including a Beetle Chariot that was given to Qin Yan, a Leopard 2A6 tank to Lin Weiguo, and an Apache Helicopter that Dantai kept for himself.
The distribution was reasonable, and nobody had any complaints.
"Let’s set off to find the next insect nest," Dantai said without boasting. He still needed many more bug eggs and had to hurry to collect them.
Ai Yixin lingered at the back, her eyes flashing with viciousness as she looked at Sha Ou’s retreating figure, but it quickly disappeared. She knew she was too weak for revenge—at least for now. She couldn’t let go of her hatred for the man who caused her husband’s death.
In less than ten minutes, Tang Zheng, clad in Hellfire, had flattened an insect nest with nearly twenty thousand bugs, procuring over two hundred bug eggs and thus completing the mission.
Seeing Tang Zheng emerge unscathed from the building, the indigenous people were scared out of their wits, having thought he was just posturing. But then they caught the putrid stench and blood smell drifting on the wind. One disbelieving native peeked inside and nearly convulsed with excitement.
"Dead, all dead." The natives were overjoyed and immediately called everyone to move the corpses. The insect meat would be enough for them to get through the difficult breeding period of the hunting season.
"It seems you all have forgotten about my task?" Tang Zheng said coldly.
Reminded of their place, a group of forgetful natives froze and then cold sweat broke out on their foreheads as they looked at Tang Zheng, not daring to retort.
"We will complete your task," Ludi stepped in to smooth things over. At that moment, he shelved his little schemes since he couldn’t afford to offend someone like Tang Zheng.
Inside Lu Fan’s refrigerated box was plasma, which he took out and smeared on chunks of meat as simple bait. The city’s bugs were numerous, and it didn’t take long before prey took the bait. They injured it half to death before releasing it, and a bunch of people followed it to discover the insect nest.
"Damn it, where’s the queen? Just a few dead bugs?" Lu Fan cursed angrily, knocking over a bug and blasting it into meat sauce with a Thunderstorm rifle. It was a wrecked insect nest; not to mention a queen, there were barely any bugs left.
"Let’s keep searching," said Li Xinlan, undeterred. The soldiers hung the beetle corpses on the back of the car and continued on. This time, they finally encountered a swarm of insects.
A mass of beetles scurried out of an alley and chased after the fleet of cars, soon beginning to jump and slam against the sports car with thuds.
"At least a thousand, it’s doable!" Little Lolita peeked out, telling Zuo Yi to steady the car as she extended her left hand out of the car window. Sand billowed from the wristwatch like a sandstorm, smashing into the beetles and completely burying them.
The soldiers began to shoot; these bugs were weak, and ordinary bullets could still inflict damage on them.
"Too many, what do we do?" Li Guaizi fretted, looking at the dense swarm. As soon as she cried out, she saw the sandstorm fully bury the insects alive, leaving only a hundred or so lucky survivors that quickly fell prey to Li Xinlan’s assault.
The newbies all wore expressions as if they’d seen a ghost and looked towards Lu Fan, having not expected such ferocity from the little loli.
"Stop the car." Lu Fan didn’t wait for the vehicle to steady before he opened the door and jumped out, shouting as he fired his rifle at the bugs, "Capture them alive, don’t let them escape!"
To catch up with Li Xinlan and her group, North Wind had expended considerable strength. Now hiding in the shadow of a building, he frowned at the sight of the domineering Lu Fan, who seemed like a tough customer to deal with.
"What’s the ability of that married woman? Doesn’t seem too strong," thought North Wind, a confident second-tier explosive seed.
"We must have it this time." As usual, Lu Fan wounded several bugs half to death before letting them go, then followed them back to the nest.
The insects, having spotted their prey, naturally returned to call the main force for a hunt.
"Looks like a lot, how do we handle it?" Lu Fan hid in an alley across from the building, peering through a telescope to assess the situation.
"How many bombs do you have?" Shen Qingshuang tapped her rifle unconsciously, "Let’s make a bomb passage like Bai Guo did, then lure the bugs into it. Using abilities to kill is too taxing. If we encounter a sudden crisis, it’ll be tough to manage."
Shen Qingshuang already knew about how the use of abilities would consume life energy, and she preferred to keep a reserve.
"Newbie, you’ve got some ideas there!" Lu Fan playfully slapped Shen Qingshuang’s thigh, "Any more thoughts? Share them with us all."
