Chapter 261 Victims
Chapter 261 Victims
"Forehead......"
Everyone looked at Xing speechlessly.
I knew stars were abstract, but I didn't expect them to be this abstract.
Walter Young said in a very serious tone:
"Yes, using the word 'strong' to refer to oneself not only highlights one's strength but also demonstrates a great sense of humor. The use of homophones is so apt that it's truly hilarious."
"Um... Uncle Yang, don't analyze things so seriously, okay?" March 7th was speechless.
“I’m used to it.” Walter Young shook his head helplessly.
"Anyway, you should leave here first. There's a Cloud Cavalry encampment not far away. You'll be safe once you get there," Little Eve said as she stepped forward.
“Okay, okay, what about you guys?” Ah Wei couldn’t help but ask.
"Us? Of course we're going to conquer the dungeon!" Xing put her hands on her hips, looked up at the sky, and looked triumphant.
"This is the Industrial Construction Department..." March 7th revealed dead fish eyes.
“I know, the underground city called the Workshop,” Hoshi said with certainty.
"Sigh, whatever, as long as you're happy." March 7th shook his head.
"So, are you really going in? But, but it's really dangerous inside, even Master Gongshu..." Awei hesitated.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." March 7th stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
“With these two here, we can easily take down any swarm of insects.” March 7 looked at Eve and Walter Young.
"Ahem, Little March, the swarm is unknown. We'll need to investigate further before we know the specifics." Walter Young coughed lightly a few times.
“I know Uncle Yang.” March 7th nodded.
"Alright then, good luck to you," Awei said tremblingly. "If possible, please try to find Master Gongshu."
"When the disaster broke out, he had already escaped, but he rushed back to save people, which is how he was captured by the insects."
“Okay, we understand.” Walter Young nodded solemnly.
After Walter Young answered, Awei slowly got up, still trembling, and stumbled outside.
At this moment, Tingyun spoke up: "My benefactors, since this has happened, I will wait outside for your good news."
"After all, I have no combat ability. If I go, I will only be a burden to everyone. Besides, I need to report this matter to the Shence Bureau and the Tianbo Division."
“Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Miss Tingyun.” Walter Yang nodded.
Indeed, the Engineering Division has been overrun by the insect swarm, and there's no point in Tingyun going in. Everyone needs to devote some attention to protecting her.
Tingyun nodded and immediately left the area of the Industrial Construction Department, preparing to report to the Imperial Shipyard Department.
The train crew stood at the entrance of the Engineering Department. Eve and Walter Young had no expression on their faces and looked very serious.
Xing's face was filled with excitement; this was the first time she had ever encountered a swarm of insects.
March 7th, standing to the side, was a little weak in the knees and was trembling.
"No, we're just going to go in like this? Shouldn't we do more preparation?"
“Of course, saving even one more second is enough to save a life,” Walter Young said very seriously.
"Okay, Uncle Yang is right." March 7 shivered twice, then straightened his back.
Yes, there are still many people waiting for her to rescue them.
"go!"
Xing took the lead and rushed into the factory.
The group followed closely behind, and as soon as they entered the Works Department, they smelled a fishy stench.
"These bugs smell really strong!" March 7 said, covering his nose.
Walter Young also covered his nose, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that the swarm here has undergone a round of mutation, and has killed at least a lot of people."
"Those insects are really awful!" March 7th was furious.
At that moment, she turned her head and saw that little Eve was not covering her nose. There was a blue virtual panel in front of her, and her two little hands were constantly operating it.
"Eve, don't you think it smells bad?" March 7 asked, looking puzzled.
“I’ve shut down my own sense of smell.” Little Eve didn’t look up.
"Is this even possible?" March 7th was utterly shocked.
“I am essentially a computer. This form is a virtual representation inherited from my original self, so my five senses are also virtual, and they can also be turned off,” Little Eve explained.
"So what are you doing now? Playing Connect Four?" March 7th leaned closer to the screen and found it was full of a series of patterns that she couldn't understand.
"No, I'm recording information about the swarm, including size, lifespan, and abilities... all of which can be simulated through scent."
"Uh... the world of computers is terrifying..." March 7th swallowed hard.
"Wait, something's not right up ahead," Walter Young suddenly called out.
Everyone immediately stopped and became alert.
Not far in front of them, on the ground, lay two headless insect corpses, and in the center of them lay a man whose body had been eaten away, leaving only half of him.
The man was dead, and the expression on his face was one of great pain, as if he had suffered something horrific before he died.
"They are victims."
Seeing this, everyone silently sighed and mourned.
In each Amber Age, countless planetary civilizations were destroyed by insect swarms, and the number of victims was incalculable.
Therefore, the insect swarm is an existence that must be eliminated for all universes and all civilizations.
Instead of mourning for long, the group left and continued their journey deeper into the area.
Because they knew that there were still people waiting for their salvation.
