After half an hour, the sound of the cannons gradually died down. This did not make Luo Yuan feel relaxed. Instead, he felt cold all over.
There was no way that such a large insect tide could be dealt with in such a short amount of time. The only possibility was that Donghu City had already lost the ability to fight back, and the insect tide had gained the upper hand. A city without the ability to fight back was like a huge granary that had lost its defense.
Even Luo Yuan felt terrified and uneasy, his body shivering.
In this chaotic world, the sense of security under the fragile order was illusory and powerless. It was like a statue on the beach. It would collapse with a little force. Perhaps only with his own strength would he be able to bring him true safety.
He only needed to kill five more green beetles to complete the E-level mission and he would be able to level up. One attribute point and five skill points would be enough to double his strength. He would no longer have to be afraid of small groups of green beetles.
Luo Yuan could not stay any longer. He said, "I'm going out. Do you guys want to follow me?"
"Brother Luo, it's too dangerous out there. At least it's safer here. Why are you leaving?" Zhao Tianming said quickly.
"I don't want to stay here forever," Luo Yuan said.
Cao Qianqian stood up shyly. "I … I want to go with you!"
She knew very well that they had only been able to survive until now because of this man. Now that he was leaving, she had to follow him if she wanted to live. Besides, this was not a safe place. Even the door was broken. The green beetles could come at any time. If they left Luo Yuan, they would not be able to defend this place.
"Xiao Luo, can you … can you send me home? My daughter is still alone at home," Huang Jiahui begged.
Luo Yuan shook his head. Just when Huang Jiahui was about to give up, he said calmly, "Not now. There are insects everywhere. It's too dangerous. Let's wait until the wave is over."
"Thank you, thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you, "she said gratefully with tears in her eyes.
She remembered Luo Yuan as a good person. He had risked his life to investigate the disappearance of an ordinary roommate. That was rare in today's society. Even if Luo Yuan did not promise her anything, she believed that he was not making excuses.
"Don't be so polite. I believe your child will be fine." Luo Yuan waved his hand.
Cao Qianqian wanted to ask Luo Yuan to send her home too, but she did not say anything. She was not familiar with this man, so how could she ask him to send her off? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Huang Jiahui. Why didn't she get to know him earlier?
Since the other two were willing to follow Luo Yuan, Zhao Tianming naturally did not want to stay behind.
Next, Luo Yuan chopped off a few sharp legs for the three of them to use as weapons. These sharp legs were the hardest part of the green beetle's body. In some ways, they were even better than ordinary metals. It was hard to believe that these legs had evolved. It was a miracle of life.
When everything was ready, Luo Yuan listened for a while to confirm that there were no more green beetles on the stairs. Then, he signaled Zhao Tianming to move the table away.
Zhao Tianming was not dissatisfied with Luo Yuan's instructions. Instead, he looked happy. He moved the table away one by one, sweating profusely. After a while, the door opened.
Luo Yuan looked around. The corridor on the fifth floor was empty. There was not a single green beetle. He turned around and said, "Let's go. It looks like there are no more green beetles on this floor. Let's go to the next floor."
"Brother Luo, can I go to the toilet first?" Cao Qianqian asked shyly. Her pants were wet and she smelled of urine. She did not dare to get close to anyone.
Luo Yuan nodded and said, "Who else wants to go to the toilet? Hurry up, and be careful. The green beetles might fly in through the window."
Zhao Tianming had wanted to go to the toilet, but after hearing Luo Yuan's words, he immediately gave up.
Cao Qianqian was also afraid, but when she thought of her embarrassing situation, she gritted her teeth and walked into the toilet. Not long after, she came out.
Luo Yuan could not help but take a few more glances. She had already taken off her pants and was only wearing a small blazer. However, the blazer was so big that it had to be tied horizontally. That way, it only covered the important parts of her body, completely exposing her well-proportioned thighs. Her fair skin was particularly eye-catching.
Feeling Luo Yuan's aggressive stare, Cao Qianqian felt shy and proud. She took a few glances at Luo Yuan. She was most confident about her legs, which she had always taken good care of. They were so tender that they looked like they could squeeze water out of them if you pinched them. How could an old woman like Huang Jiahui compare to her?
She walked up to Luo Yuan calmly and asked, "Brother Luo, why are we going to the third floor?"
"To clean up all the green beetles. We can't stay here forever. We have to go back," Luo Yuan said calmly.
Cao Qianqian was amazed. This was a real man. Others could not avoid the green beetles, but he took the initiative to clean them.
"This slut, she's already in heat. Even if Luo Yuan pushed her down now, she'd still resist," Zhao Tianming guessed maliciously. The jealousy in his heart made him go crazy. He lowered his head slightly, hiding the expression on his face and the thoughts conveyed in his eyes, so as to avoid being seen by others.
The three of them walked to the staircase, their hearts in their mouths again.
The staircase was very quiet, but after a few steps, they heard a scream from below. The scream turned into a scream, and there were even a few gunshots.
"There are people on the third floor. Let's go," Luo Yuan said.
Luo Yuan immediately sped up and rushed to the staircase. As soon as he reached the corridor, a woman covered in blood ran towards him with a terrified face.
"Lan Lan, what's wrong?" Cao Qianqian covered her mouth.
The woman looked up and screamed as soon as she saw someone she knew, "Qianqian, run, run! There are green beetles in front!"
She did not slow down. She wanted to run past the crowd, but Luo Yuan grabbed her arm. She struggled like crazy, "Ah! Why are you pulling me? Let me go! I'm going to kill you! "
Luo Yuan frowned and pushed her to the ground in disgust. "Cao Qianqian, I'll leave this woman to you."
Zhang Lan scrambled to her feet and tried to continue running, but she was pulled back by Cao Qianqian. Cao Qianqian was about to go crazy and said hysterically, "You bunch of lunatics, didn't I say there were bugs in front of us? Don't drag me down with you even if you want to die."
"Shut up!" Huang Jiahui stepped forward and slapped her, "Shut up!"
She was stunned for a moment, then gave up struggling and cried, "You bastards, Chen Xueyan is dead, the security guards who followed us are dead, they're all dead, and now I'm going to die too, I don't want to die, boohoo!"
"Ask her how many green beetles there are," Luo Yuan said.
After Zhang Lan calmed down a little, she realized that most of these people were holding green spikes. They looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before. Also, although these people looked a little uneasy, they did not show any particular fear, especially the one who spoke. He seemed to be the leader of this group of people.
She quickly answered before Cao Qianqian could ask, "There are two of them. They came in through the window. I'm keeping them in the general management office."
"You guys wait here. Be careful. I'll go take a look," Luo Yuan said.
"Brother Luo, I'll go with you. I can help too!" Zhao Tianming said. It was not safe to stay there, but it would be safer if he followed Luo Yuan.
"No, I won't be able to take care of you!" Luo Yuan rejected. He knew what Zhao Tianming was thinking.
After saying that, he picked up his saber and walked forward.
After walking for about 10 meters, Luo Yuan heard the sound of bones being chewed. His footsteps became lighter and his breathing became longer.
After a while, he stopped in front of a door.
A dark red liquid was flowing out from the gap under the door towards Luo Yuan's feet. A pungent smell of blood filled the air. Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly took a step back.
He looked up and saw that the sign on the door said, "General Management Office."
"This is it. Luckily that crazy woman knew to close the door before she ran away. She could still prepare herself." Luo Yuan was still scared when he thought of the dangerous fight with the two green beetles.
He took a deep breath, and in the next moment, his body slammed into the door.
The two Green Beetles each guarded a dead body and started to chew on it. Startled by the sudden explosion, they all took a step back and went into a defensive stance. However, when he saw that it was just a fresh piece of food, he relaxed again.
One of them let out a joyful cry, put down the meat that was no longer fresh, and went forward. The other one seemed indifferent and continued to eat with its head lowered.
However, in their pitiful brains, they did not know that there were differences between different foods. Some foods were soft and delicious, tasty and juicy, while some foods were too hard and would break their teeth.
Luo Yuan was relieved when he saw that there was only one of them.
He suddenly sped up, and at the same time, the sharp Zhanmadao slashed across the green beetle's head. Before the green beetle could react, its head had already been split open by Chu Yunsheng's sword.
Its movements suddenly froze, and then it fell to the ground with a loud bang, its entire body twitching.
Luo Yuan did not stop. He moved his knife and rushed towards the other one. The green beetle did not react. It was still eating the dead body. It was only when Luo Yuan walked in front of it that it realized something. It instinctively retracted its front legs, ready to attack. But it was too late. The knife flashed and its front legs fell to the ground.
It let out a short scream before it stopped abruptly. The ice-cold tip of the knife had pierced through its mouth, directly piercing through its brain.
Luo Yuan pulled out his Zhanmadao and shook it to get rid of the liquid. He said to himself, "Three more!"
He looked at the two bodies on the ground. Their stomachs had been cut open and their intestines were all over the ground. The woman was still breathing. Her eyes were wide open and tears were rolling down her face. She seemed to want to say something, but when she opened her mouth, a mouthful of black blood came out. She smiled bitterly and looked at Luo Yuan with a pleading look.
"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do." Luo Yuan sighed and said in a low voice. Even if they were sent to the hospital, they would not be able to save their lives.
The woman shook her head and wrote something on the ground with her finger. It seemed like she was trying to convey something.
Luo Yuan looked down and saw the word "Death" written on the ground in a crooked, bloody way.
She wanted to end her pain as soon as possible.
Luo Yuan was shocked.
"Okay!"
The woman forced a smile and closed her eyes slightly.
Luo Yuan took a deep breath. He picked up the knife and pointed it at her heart, but he could not bring it down.
It wasn't that he hadn't killed people before. If he counted carefully, he had killed at least seven or eight people. However, he didn't know why he couldn't bring himself to do it this time. Perhaps it was because of his reverence for life, or perhaps it was because he didn't want innocent people to die by his hands. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly. His heart was stifled and uncomfortable.
Just as he made up his mind, the woman stopped breathing. He looked down and saw that she was dead.
Luo Yuan was relieved.
He found a Type 54 pistol on the ground and picked it up. He also found seven or eight bullets on the dead body of the security guard and left the room.
