It's better not to …
In just a short moment, Wu Shiyu made a decision. The unknown power was like an unknown plate of meat. It was fragrant and tempting, but eating it might spoil your stomach.
She could not write on the ground, she could not speak, and she could not resist, but it did not say that she could not move … She looked at her five colleagues and the locusts that were closing in on her. Suddenly, she stood up on her hind legs and waved her claws to make a gesture.
If words didn't convey her meaning, what about body language?
This was the standard tactical gesture of the Special Mobile Force, and it was also commonly used by the Action Department.
Danger! Retreat! Retreat!
In order not to appear to be provoking him, Wu Shiyu even made a heart gesture with his claws and sent it over. Then, he cupped his hands and made a congratulatory gesture. That should be enough, right?
The five members were puzzled. They recognized these hand gestures. It seemed like …
It was not easy for Wu Shiyu to maintain this posture. She gestured for Lucky to retreat and then patted her stomach to mimic the Zoog. She had been interacting with Lucky recently so she was very familiar with this.
She still hoped to reveal her identity, at least to let the headquarters suspect that Wu Simiao might have been corrupted by the darkness, but it was not completely corrupted, and there was still a part of her that was conscious and struggling.
"Retreat, retreat!" Wu Shiyu gestured repeatedly. It was as if a swarm of locusts was right in front of them. Feeling anxious, she made a drinking gesture again. Tong Ye, you old drunkard, can't you tell?! Then he knocked his head and made a questioning pose. Problematic Team!
At that moment, the 5 Phecda members moved. They retreated in unison. The person who shouted earlier shouted, "If you have a kind heart, walk into the cage yourself."
As soon as they retreated beyond the boundary, Wu Shiyu could no longer see them. It was as if they had suddenly disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief. Success …
The problem should be with the words on the ground, although she did not understand the reason.
But now she knew that it was this cat's body, or this mutated area, that prevented her from using words accurately, but body language was still effective. Was it because words and words usually had power, but body language did not?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, a few moments later, the swarm of locusts crossed the dividing line. Wu Shiyu suddenly wondered if he should worry about his own safety. Uh … do locusts eat cats?
These flying insects looked very much like grasshoppers. Some were as big as a fist, while others were as small as flies. They were all gray in color, and there were some black spots all over their bodies. They seemed to be emitting a deathly aura, and their two pale red antennae were constantly moving.
Like a tsunami or a sandstorm, countless locusts of different sizes swarmed into the mutated area, turning the originally empty border into a nest of insects.
Suddenly being in the sea of insects, Wu Shiyu's hair stood on end. Its eyes became fierce, and it couldn't help but cover its head with its paws.
Don't eat me … Cat meat is coarse, it doesn't taste good … really …
The locusts did not eat her, in fact, they did not even touch her, they all flew past her.
However, these locusts were also dangerous. They attached themselves to everything other than the soil. In the blink of an eye, the iron cage was completely consumed. Even the Ancient Seal Stone and the electroshock device were disintegrated. Some locusts died because of that, but more locusts pounced on them to devour them.
Then there was the tree stump, the electricity line, the highway, the buildings …
And the drones in the sky, no matter what material they were made from, they were all consumed.
Following that was the change to the ground. It became darker, more like the wasteland on the other side.
Wu Shiyu suddenly understood why the world on the other side was so barren. It was not because of the nuclear explosion. A nuclear explosion would not cause such a scene, there would always be traces left behind. Everything had been consumed by these locusts. Plants, metal, cement, stone … everything had been consumed.
But why were the iron cage and the dead body still there?
She thought about it and suddenly turned around. Using the speed and jumping ability of a cat, she crossed the 10 metres distance in seconds. She jumped over the border and left the mutated area to return to the wasteland …
There was no gunshot. Even though she lost some fur, she was not hurt.
Wu Siyu turned back to look at the mutated area that was already in chaos. The locusts were still swarming. She looked at the locusts storm that stretched all the way to the horizon. She knew that the 70 cubic km mutated area would soon be filled with locusts.
This was not the 5th explosion but the situation was heading in a more serious direction.
If this swarm of locusts reached Earth from the mutated area … the consequences would be more serious than a radioactive leak.
There was still a range of contamination from the radiation, they could still evacuate and they would be safe.
But these locusts would really destroy everything.
Wu Shiyu stopped to observe for a while before turning to run back the way she came.
She could not stay at the mutated area. Phecda would figure out a way to deal with the locusts. The most likely method would be to use drones or missiles to carpet bomb the area. The explosion should not be able to reach even half a step away from the demarcation line. Even so, there was nothing to see here.
The locusts came from that direction, so there had to be something strange going on there.
Wu Shiyu knew there was a reason she was there.
There had to be a reason for her painting, for her transformation into a cat, and for her to come here.
"Sigh, I still have to carry this burden …"
In the darkness that seemed like it would never pass, Wu Shiyu picked up her pace. She walked down the wasteland. The number of locusts shocked her. There was no end to them. Even if she bombarded the ground with bombs, she might not be able to kill them all. Furthermore, would they eat the bombs as well?
In the midst of these chaotic thoughts, she slowly returned to that place.
She looked into the distance, and sure enough, the iron pillar was still standing there. There was an iron cage hanging above it, and inside the cage was a human corpse that was so rotten that its bones could be seen. Nothing had changed from what she had seen before.
The locusts acted like they did not see the thing and just flew past it.
This kind of attitude was similar to how they treated a cat like her.
What was the relationship between her current situation and the dead body?
"Hello?" Wu Shiyu yelled at the iron cage. Of course, she still pronounced it in cat language. "Who are you? I'm not going over, I'm just sitting here. Was it you who summoned me to this world? Are you really dead? "
Perhaps it was synaesthesia or something else, but it felt like the body was not really dead.
Just as she finished speaking, the corpse in the cage suddenly moved and lifted its head.
