After talking with Xiao Wanqing and Platycodon for a while, he gave twenty second-level insect crystals to Xiao Wanqing and warned:
"Pick two of the insect crystals from the suspended jellyfish and give them to my cousin. She is an ice mage, and the ice insect crystals are the most suitable for her. Give all the insect crystals from the Blue Thunder Poison Scorpion to Yang Xuyan, and try to get him to reach it within a week. Second-level intermediate level... the other corpse poison spiders, colorful centipedes, flying dragon lice, green beetles, and magic-eyed insects can be selectively handed over to others, and priority should be given to combatants who are about to break through."
"Well, I will arrange it..."
Xiao Wanqing held a bag of round insect crystals. She naturally knew that every insect crystal was extremely precious, and each one had to be fought for with her life.
Soon, Xiao Wanqing and Platycodon grandiflorum went out again, leaving Li Jiayu alone in the tent in a daze.
The Dark Octopus suddenly walked in and grunted:
"Master, you really don't understand Fengqing... You have obviously conquered 15% of Mistress Ranhongxia. If you work harder, you can just say, 'You are so beautiful, I am so beautiful'" If you say "I like you" and then say "Stay with me tonight", she will definitely not refuse you, and maybe she will be the number one person in your harem tonight!"
"The harem is nothing!"
"Master, you are so coward... You have failed as a man so much, you might as well become a woman! At least you have more prospects as a woman. This octopus knows where the fruit of sissification is. If you really want to become a sissy, octopus I’ll get you the sissy fruit right away…”
"You go to hell!"
"Master, you are angry... But the octopus still looks down on you... If you are a man, you should quickly push away the mistresses... They are all waiting for you to favor... Master, please regain your glory, just Just like every successful prostitute or woman has a long list of prostitutes behind her, every top male strongman will have a big crystal palace! If you don't build a crystal palace, the octopus will feel very embarrassed when he goes out... "
"Fight on the street! Throw your whole family away, get out of here!"
Li Jiayu became so angry that he kicked the annoying dark octopus away. Then he held his head and crawled into bed in pain... After a silent night, it soon dawned.
The top combatants of Xijiang University have already digested all twenty level two insect crystals, and their abilities have improved a lot. The ones who have made the fastest progress are Yan Zisu and Yang Xuyan, as well as Ling Shaoping, who is far away from the level two insect crystals. He is only a little short of the intermediate level. If he is given another three or four days, he will probably be able to successfully break through.
The telekinesis masters and object control masters in the army also stayed up all night. They carefully dissected all the insect corpses step by step. Not only did they take out the insect crystals, they even isolated a lot of very valuable insect materials. , such as the retina of the blue-eyed giant ant, the blood of the purple beetle, the venom glands of the corpse spider, and the tentacles of the suspended jellyfish. Many messy things seem useless, but in fact they are of great use.
In particular, there are also several rune masters and alchemists in the army. Together, these people can use the carapace of the purple beetle to make insect armor, which is many times more powerful than the insect armor of the red-topped beetle.
People in the army even occupied most of the insect crystals, giving priority to those with abilities close to the army. Of course, due to Xijiang University's outstanding performance last night, the army also rewarded Xijiang University with a total of twenty second-level insect crystals and one One hundred first-level insect crystals can be considered generous.
After breakfast, the army set off early, with a vanguard composed of a large group of ability users leading the way.
Behind, there was a long stream of people. Everyone was in a hurry and focused on their way. After last night's human-insect war, almost everyone had an extremely pessimistic attitude towards this thousand-mile escape. Many people were I took two steps and looked around, fearing that another large group of bugs would pop up somewhere.
The ground is covered with accumulated water from last night. No one knows how much rain it rained last night, so that the ground is full of mud. If you step on it, it will make a "pop" sound. If you are not careful, you may even fall. A dog eats shit.
What's even worse is that it was too cold last night, and I don't know how many people got sick from colds, but everyone held on to their bodies, supported each other, and walked tiredly with their weak feet, one step at a time. Walking on a muddy road.
"Have you heard... The old woman whose whole family was eaten by bugs committed suicide last night... She cried her eyes out, so she took out a knife and inserted it into her chest... "
"Can she not commit suicide... She is sixty or seventy years old, and her whole family is dead and she has no one to take care of her. Even if she doesn't commit suicide, she probably won't live for a few days... No one can protect themselves, who can be a caring angel..."
"What's the point? Didn't a young couple hang themselves together last night? What a pity for a couple. I don't know what they thought. It's better to die than to live. Before they reached the end of their rope, they rushed to commit suicide... Why… "
"Maybe they can't see hope... There are always some people who are fragile and cannot bear the heavy pressure... "
"Don't laugh at them committing suicide. Maybe they hanged themselves without crying. At least they can still have a whole body. The army helped them bury the body... Maybe in the future, we will be buried in the belly of insects, let alone be buried in peace. I’m afraid not even a piece of meat will be left in this world!”
While walking, many citizens whispered to each other and expressed their sorrows to each other. Most of them were relatively pessimistic. They felt like they were being plowed hard by a cat's claws, which was depressing and uncomfortable.
It was still covered with thick clouds and there was no sunlight. Although it was daytime, the visibility was not clear at all. Just like at dusk, sometimes it was difficult to see clearly things that were slightly farther away.
The cold wind is still blowing, giving people goosebumps. A conservative estimate is that the current temperature is about ten degrees. Coupled with the heavy humidity, it is almost unbearable to freeze.
Behind the team, some people were already walking slower and slower. Those children and women with colds and fevers, and those old people with relapsed rheumatism greatly slowed down their progress. Originally, the 600,000 citizens were still quite close together, but as time went by As time goes by, the line has become longer and longer, and more and more people have even begun to fall behind... You know, there are many people and it is messy, and sometimes if one person falls behind... you may never be able to get back in line.
But what can the stragglers do?
They don't want to fall behind, but they really have nothing to do... After all, they are all vulnerable groups, either disabled, pregnant, women with weak constitution, or sick children... The vanguard led the team, and at first it was Walking along the first-class national highway, however, at noon, waves of insects appeared one after another on the national highway. Although the vanguard team dealt with the insects, they suffered many casualties, and they also found that the insects appeared on the national highway more and more. The more, the more dense.
"No... we can't walk on the national highway anymore. Although the national highway is flat, there are so many bugs encountered. I'm afraid that all the vanguard troops will die before we go out for a few days... "
After hearing the Sky Eye Master's suggestion, Captain Li had no choice but to order the team to leave the first-class national highway and instead approach the trails in the mountains and fields.
There are many experts in the army who are particularly proficient in wilderness survival, and they are also familiar with the roads nearby. Even if they take the trails, they can lead the citizens to the next destination, Danzhu Town.
However, the reality is not as ideal as imagined.
It is true that you can encounter fewer bugs when walking on mountain trails, but you don't know how muddy it is along the way, making it difficult to walk. Sometimes it is difficult for even a bicycle to pass, and what's worse is that you will occasionally encounter very large cracks.
Some of these cracks are hundreds of meters long, more than ten meters wide, and bottomless. It is obvious that unimaginable earthquakes have occurred here.
We also encountered a small village on the way, but most of the houses there collapsed, and there was no one alive, leaving only broken corpses on the ground.
No need to think about it, people knew that this place must have been attacked by a wave of insects. All the villagers had died before the earthquake. Even the soldiers could see that the corpses began to rot and smell, and white flowers grew out. The maggots were shaking incessantly. Seeing such a miserable situation and smelling the disgusting and rotten stench, some female citizens vomited out yellow bile.
I really don’t know how many times these women... have to witness corpses and vomit yellow bile many times before they get used to it. After all, they are so wasteful. They don’t have much food, and they vomit again and again. If this continues, I’m afraid their Food is really hard to hold on to after a week.
Even though we were walking on wild roads in the mountains, the scale of 600,000 citizens was too large and it was too easy to attract the attention of insects. From morning to afternoon, not to mention the encounters of the vanguard troops, there were only a long line of 600,000 citizens. I encountered nearly a hundred waves of insects sporadically, with varying numbers, ranging from seventy to eighty to ten or twenty.
Fortunately, most of the bugs are first-level blood-sucking giant insects, poisonous spiders, and sickle beetles. Second-level bugs do not appear much, so the citizens only die a thousand times. If it is peacetime, a thousand people will die. Civilians, this is definitely big news that shocks the world.
But... Today, in this doomsday of collapse, only a thousand people die out of 600,000 people, which is already a very optimistic figure.
Some sensitive professionals discovered that many plants in the forest began to mutate.
The most obvious thing is the mushrooms that pop up after the rain. They are all colorful, emitting a strange light, and even contain poison. If you pick a piece and feed it to a captured monkey, it will die suddenly.
"It's certain... This kind of mushroom is definitely a new species. This kind of mushroom has never appeared on the earth, but now... due to cosmic storms or other reasons, it appears on a large scale in this forest... You should also know, The emergence of every new species with tenacious vitality will destroy the original ecological balance... "
"Just like bugs hunting humans... Strange and unknown plants are also affecting the plant world all over the world... You see, it's not just the unknown mushrooms, but even these grasses and these newly sprouted vines that we have never seen before. Seen…”
A middle-aged bald botanist held his eyes and said in surprise.
It’s just... No matter what he said, Captain Li kept hearing it. After all, he didn’t care about any major changes in the earth’s ecology. What he cared about now was whether the 600,000 citizens could reach Yongcheng safely. !
What made Captain Li even more sweaty was that he and the vanguard discovered a huge hole in a field. It was bottomless and dozens of meters in diameter!
"Judging from the soil around the entrance of the cave and the messy scratches... it should be a centipede-shaped arthropod insect... "
"How can it be!"
Captain Li was startled, his heart was about to spit out from his throat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stared and said:
"You mean... this hole was dug by a centipede with a diameter of tens of meters? You scolded the next door, how could there be such a huge centipede in this world? If it really existed, then wouldn't it be two to three hundred meters long!"
What kind of concept is a centipede two to three hundred meters long?
Just thinking about it is enough to make everyone's hair stand on end, lose all fighting spirit, and make their backs feel cold and straight!
