"Well done!" Luo Yuan said.
Zhao Tianming suddenly felt flattered. He instinctively stood up and bowed slightly. He had never been so respectful even in front of a leader.
However, what Luo Yuan said next made him feel like he had fallen into an icehouse. "If the green beetles come again, do it again!"
However, he did not dare to refuse, and could only say with a bitter expression: "Yes! Brother Luo. "
Luo Yuan did not care what he thought, as long as he was obedient.
He walked in front of the green beetle's head. Colorful liquid spilled all over the floor, emitting an unpleasant stench. The head had been chopped off by Luo Yuan, but the body was still outside the door. At this time, this one was not completely dead yet. Its huge mouth was still opening and closing.
Luo Yuan used the handle of his knife to knock on its compound eyes. It sounded like he was knocking on a rock.
Seeing that there was no danger, Huang Jiahui came over and squatted down beside Luo Yuan. "Its eyes are so beautiful, it looks like there are little stars in them."
Cao Qianqian hesitated for a moment before walking over as well. She looked at the insect head that was the size of a washbasin with both curiosity and fear.
Suddenly, Luo Yuan stood up.
"What's wrong?" Huang Jiahui asked nervously.
He listened for a while and said seriously, "More insects are coming. There are four of them this time. Be careful, everyone."
Cao Qianqian's face was full of fear, and Zhao Tianming's face was even paler. One green beetle was bad enough, but this time, there were four of them.
"Sister Huang, Cao Qianqian and Zhao Tianming, the three of you will hold the door. When they come over, follow the same method we used just now and let them in one by one. Leave the rest to me." Luo Yuan had calmed down after a moment of panic.
"Okay!" Cao Qianqian quickly replied.
"Xiao Luo, are you alright? There are four of them," Huang Jiahui said worriedly.
"As long as the door isn't breached, four is no different from one. So, each of you must hold the door firmly. If the door is broken, you better pray that these green beetles are herbivores. "
Cao Qianqian was so scared that her face turned pale. Her body couldn't help but sway. If Huang Jiahui hadn't grabbed her, she might have already collapsed to the ground.
The four green beetles were attracted by the food, so they quickly walked to the gate. Nature was cruel, so they would not give up on any food, even if it was the corpses of their companions. The bigger one squeezed the other green beetles out of the way, buried its head in the wound left by the blade, and crazily bit the internal organs inside.
The other three wisely made way for the green beetles and bit down on other parts of the body. The hard exoskeleton was easily bitten through, and a crisp crunching sound could be heard. Colorful juices splashed everywhere. In less than a minute, a green beetle was devoured by its own kind.
A single green beetle obviously couldn't satisfy their appetite. Their antennae sensed an even more tempting food.
The slightly larger green beetle raised its head and suddenly let out a loud growl. Its front legs shot out like lightning and pierced through the solid wooden door in the blink of an eye, producing a firecracker-like sound. In the next moment, its remaining four legs exerted force, and four small holes appeared in the hard marble like it was tofu.
The door made a loud noise as it was pushed against it.
The second green beetle did the same thing, but the solid wooden door was a little too small for the green beetle's body. After two of them squeezed through, there was no space left. The two green beetles, who had lost in the competition, anxiously stayed behind. Their limbs kept scratching the marble floor, and soon there were deep grooves in the floor.
The door kept being pushed open and closed by the people behind it. It was a battle of life and death. It was a zero-sum game, and the loser would lose everything.
After a while, the gap between the door and the door became bigger and bigger. The power that had been released because of the threat of death was quickly being consumed.
"I can't do it anymore … I don't have any strength left …" Cao Qianqian was so scared that she started crying.
"Hold on if you don't want to die, or else the green beetles will come in," Zhao Tianming said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't be nervous. Let's slowly relax our power now."
Luo Yuan tried his best to stay calm, and the Zhanmadao in his hand tightened. Perhaps fear could allow a person to unleash greater power for a longer period of time, but it was more likely that it would cause a person's limbs to go soft and make them dumbfounded. If he panicked, the three of them might not be able to hold on. If all four green beetles came in, even he wouldn't be able to survive.
Cao Qianqian's tensed nerves immediately relaxed, and the strength in her body quickly drained away. Right at that moment, a huge force came crashing down on the door, creating a large gap. Two Green Beetles took advantage of the gap and crawled in like lightning.
A hysterical scream came from inside the room.
Cao Qianqian was so scared that she fell to the ground. Yellow liquid was dripping from her lower body, giving off a fishy smell.
Luo Yuan had not expected there to be two of them at the same time.
Luo Yuan's back was numb, and he quickly moved forward. He swung his Zhanmadao at a relatively weak joint of one of the green beetles. The bigger green beetle saw that there was more food on the other side, so it ignored Luo Yuan and walked towards the group of people. It did not want to make a fatal mistake.
The knife cut through its limbs.
It let out a blood-curdling screech, and its movements became sluggish. Luo Yuan stepped forward and stabbed it with the tip of his Zhanmadao, leaving a long scar on its back.
The other green beetle felt something was wrong, so it raised its upper body slightly, and the next moment, its two front limbs popped out like lightning.
"Pa!"
There was a sharp explosion in the air.
Luo Yuan's scalp tingled and he felt like he was being stabbed. He quickly moved his body to the side and two of the front legs with terrifying kinetic energy brushed past his chest. The strong air turbulence tore his jacket into pieces, revealing the shiny snake-scale bulletproof vest underneath.
Huang Jiahui finally reacted and screamed, "Close the door! Close the door!"
Zhao Tianming looked at the two green beetles in the room and shuddered. He quickly pushed the door shut. Cao Qianqian also got up quickly.
Although it sounded like a long time, the whole process had only taken one or two seconds.
Luo Yuan, who had just been ambushed by the green beetle, was shocked and angry at the same time. His expression turned cold, and without hesitation, he rushed forward and slashed at the beetle with his saber. The green beetle had just retracted its front leg, and before it could react, the saber had already sliced through its left shoulder. It was almost cut in half. It stopped moving and finally fell to the ground.
Luo Yuan was relieved. He turned around and saw that the bigger green beetle was still alive, so he killed it with another knife.
He gasped for breath, and couldn't help but feel exhausted. Although the entire battle was very short, only six or seven seconds, it was exceptionally dangerous. He couldn't afford to be careless, and the slightest carelessness would have resulted in a different ending.
The door was still being knocked open, and the three of them nervously pressed against it. Suddenly, there was no movement in the room.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they turned around to look at the same time. The fear on their faces turned into shock. The two green beetles, who had been arrogant and fearful just a moment ago, were lying on the ground, their bodies brutally cut in half. Their colorful fluids were spilled all over the floor.
Everyone looked at Luo Yuan, who was leaning against the wall and gasping for air. Their expressions were very interesting.
Even Huang Jiahui, who had faith in Luo Yuan, could not believe that the two ferocious green beetles had been killed so easily.
"Brother … Brother Luo, should we let it in again?" After a while, Zhao Tianming suddenly stuttered.
"Let them in, one at a time. If I had reacted any slower, I would have been in danger," Luo Yuan said calmly.
Cao Qianqian blushed, "I'm sorry!"
If she had not suddenly lost her strength, the door would not have been opened, and the dangerous situation would not have happened. Although Luo Yuan wanted to yell at the idiot woman, he knew that it would be bad if he was too strict. He shook his head helplessly and comforted her gently, "Anyone who encountered such a situation would be no better. Be more careful next time."
Cao Qianqian looked grateful. She looked at Luo Yuan with a strange light in her eyes.
Perhaps Luo Yuan's presence had given them courage and confidence, because the situation was much better after that. Under the control of the three of them, the remaining two beetles did not cause any more trouble. Luo Yuan killed them one by one. To avoid attracting more green beetles, the dead bodies were dragged into the small meeting room.
Huang Jiahui sat down on a stool and saw a puddle of water not far away. She asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there water in the meeting room? I like drinking."
Zhao Tianming, who knew what was going on, said with a strange look, "You can only ask Cao Qianqian for it."
Cao Qianqian's face was burning. She quickly took off her jacket and wrapped it around her lower body.
Huang Jiahui understood immediately. She glared at Zhao Tianming and said fiercely, "A woman's urinary tract is short, so she can't hold it in. What's so strange about that? I think you were no better than us women."
Zhao Tianming did not dare to offend Huang Jiahui. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just trying to lighten the mood."
Suddenly, there was a muffled explosion from afar. It was as if the air was rolling and boiling, like a pot of thick porridge. Even from where they were, they could feel the tremors. Huang Jiahui's expression changed. She quickly stood up and dialed a number, but it did not go through. Her face quickly turned pale.
Zhao Tianming and Cao Qianqian also took out their phones, but it did not go through either.
The air seemed to have solidified, causing people to feel abnormally stifled and suffocating.
"What do you think is happening outside?" Huang Jiahui asked Luo Yuan blankly, as if all her energy had been sucked away.
Luo Yuan opened his mouth and shook his head. "Don't ask me, I don't know."
It was impossible for such a large swarm of insects to fly to Donghu City. The whole city was probably in hell.
