Chapter 91: Incident in Yancheng (11)

4:50 pm.

A maze of deep underground tunnels.

Dozens of elite evolvers clung to the stone wall of the tunnel, silent in the darkness, as if they were part of the stone wall, silent and forbearing.

"Buzzing—"

Palm-sized black beetles occasionally crawled in front of their combat boots and occasionally landed on their combat uniforms. A tacit understanding of not disturbing each other was formed between the two sides.

Just as everyone was expecting this tacit understanding to last until the beetles left.

Suddenly, the vibration of the communication bracelet sounded abruptly in the tunnel.

In an instant, the black beetle, which was flapping its wings and kicking its powerful hind legs towards the shallow cave, seemed to have stopped.

Then, the black beetles swarmed towards the source of the sound like a raging wave.

"Grass!"

The bracelet owner cursed and prepared to run away.

But he had only taken two steps when he could no longer move an inch.

Because he had become a delicious human-shaped cake, and the black beetles that were enjoying his cake were densely stacked all over his body.

In an instant, the entire tunnel was filled with the sound of the beetle's mouthparts opening and closing, abundant blood and flesh juice, and the sound of sucking and cutting apart the flesh as it ate.

It makes people's scalp numb.

Rao is a group of elite evolvers who have experienced peaceful battlefields, hovered on the brink of life and death more than once, and have outstanding strength and psychological qualities.

At this moment, everyone was sweating profusely.

But they could only suppress the fear in their hearts, keep their spirits tense, and feel the time stretching by every second while waiting.

Until the last beetle was long gone.

No one made a sound.

"Clang-"

As a piece of gravel fell to the ground.

A few seconds later, dozens of elite evolvers, simultaneously, let out a long sigh of relief.

Someone cursed under his breath: "Fuck! It's only been five minutes!"

"This damn suppressive power! I'd rather have nothing at all than just be a dish!" Someone couldn't help but spit beside the fresh skeleton.

Compared to this group of evolvers who survived the disaster and were somewhat damaged due to the loss of their abilities.

Fu Chenyue and his group were much calmer.

"Captain, this unknown source insect is extremely sensitive to light and sound. It is not like other source insects that are afraid of fire. I haven't even found any weaknesses in them. Moreover, there are a large number of them. I suggest that even if the suppression force is lifted and their strength is restored, we should not fight them head-on when we meet them again." Ji Zitian walked to Fu Chenyue and whispered.

"Zitian, this time it's all thanks to you. If we didn't know that they rely on light and sound to identify their targets, who knows how many people would have died!"

Liao Chen walked up to Ji Zitian and patted her shoulder.

Other teammates and elite evolvers also came over to thank Ji Zitian.

"Sister Zitian is really a lucky star! Thanks to you this time!"

"Thank you Zitian!"

"This is what I should do as a member of the Star Team!" Ji Zitian generously accepted the thanks and compliments.

Then, her eyes fell on Fu Chenyue again.

"Captain, you haven't spoken yet!"

Fu Chenyue's indifferent eyes were filled with some warmth: "Well, we won't fight them head-on. Also, you did a good job this time."

"Captain, I will definitely keep working hard!" Ji Zitian's smile was more charming than any other time.

Fu Chenyue nodded slightly, looked at Gong Lin who was fiddling with the bracelet light screen, and asked: "Are you reporting the information of the new source worm?"

"Yes, and by the way, let's see if we can get a Council Contribution Medal for our Sister Zi after this source insect is graded. After all, the lives of so many elite evolvers present here are thanks to Sister Zi." Gong Lin looked around and smiled at Fu Chenyue.

"Send the information to Yancheng Prison first. The application can come later." Gong Lin restrained his smile and paused fiddling with the light screen. "Chen Yue, you are not worried about Hua Si again, are you?"

Fu Chenyue did not deny it.

This reaction made Gong Lin open his mouth and close his eyes several times, but no sound came out. After a while, he said, "Now except for the one at the research institute, all other elevator shafts are sealed. As long as Sister Hua doesn't come down, how can she be in danger?"

Fu Chenyue didn't say anything about this, but only emphasized: "Send a copy to Yancheng Prison first."

Ji Zitian, who seemed to be chatting and laughing with her teammates but was actually paying attention to what Fu Chenyue and Gong Lin were saying, had a slightly stiff smile on her face.

……

……

In a shallow tunnel.

The two brothers, who were walking slowly and discussing what questions to ask Hua Si tomorrow, suddenly stopped.

"Brother, Master Lingshu, did you hear any sound?"

Hearing his brother's words, Bai Huo immediately lay down, put his ears to the ground, and looked up at Hua Si and Bai Feng.

"This sound seems a little wrong."

Wanting to know what was wrong, Bai Feng followed his brother's example and lay down next to Bai Huo. He listened carefully, then looked up at Hua and said:
“Master Lingshu, something seems to be wrong. There are too many!”

The flower looks like a raised eyebrow.

Bai Huo gestured, "At least four of them are here."

"Master Lingshu, it seems that your former subordinate has met with an accident." Bai Feng stood up, clapped his hands, bowed to Hua Si and said, "We two brothers are willing to avenge her."

Bai Huo stood up flexibly with a plank and took over his brother's words: "Yes, Master Lingshu, we two brothers are willing to avenge her, and we promise to listen to you in the future and never let ourselves encounter such a thing and make you sad."

The flowers seemed to look back silently.

Looking at the tunnel where no one has caught up yet.

He looked at the corner ahead again.

Then he closed his eyes and allocated some of his available mental energy.

When she opened her eyes again, she caught a glimpse of the searchlights above the brothers' heads, and her little face looked particularly serious:
"Turn off your lights. Don't make any noise for a while. Don't move or talk. Turn off everything on your body that makes light or noise."

"Master Lingshu, even if we two brothers don't use the abilities of Evolvers, we can still fight against E-level or even D-level basic Evolvers on equal terms. We can just deal with a few Evolvers whose abilities are suppressed. Aren't you being too cautious?"

Bai Huo said carefully, looking at her flower-like face.

Hua Si tilted her head to look at him and smiled sweetly at him: "People who don't listen will be reincarnated soon~"

Bai Feng's face changed drastically after hearing this, thinking that his brother's questioning had offended Hua Si.

Hua Si took this as a threat to her brother.

After turning off his own searchlight, he quickly reached out to turn off Bai Huo's searchlight.

"Brother, let's listen to Master Lingshu!"

Bai Huo originally just wanted to show his strength and value to Hua Si, and almost forgot that he had just said that he would listen to Hua Si.

After his younger brother reminded him, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He actually turned around and questioned Hua Si.

It was a slap in the face of the image of excellent subordinates that their brothers had worked so hard to establish in front of Hua Si!

"Master Lingshu! I'm sorry! We didn't mean it. I just wanted you to feel..."

"Shh!" Hua Si was too lazy to listen to Bai Huo's nonsense and waved at the two brothers, "You surround me in the middle, yes, like this, block me well, don't leave any gaps."

After manually arranging Bai Huo and Bai Feng's positions, Hua Si quickly took off his backpack and placed it on his head.

The main point is to refuse contact!
The two brothers looked at each other, wondering what Hua Si was doing.

Just when they were confused.

A bright searchlight beam came from behind them.

At the same time, they heard rustling sounds and flapping wings approaching them rapidly from the front of the tunnel.
