Chapter 10: The Attack of the Mighty Desert Ants



Chapter 10: The Attack of the Mighty Desert Ants



In fact, the desert was not as barren as one might have imagined. After the world changed, the vegetation grew crazily. As such, many parts of the desert no longer resembled the desert.


However, at this moment, in an unchanged part of the desert…


The blood moon cast its light on a hill, revealing countless ants the size of puppies crawling over sand dunes. It seemed like they were heading in the direction of the shelter.



The shelter was brightly lit. Since the external power supply had been cut off, they were not using power generated from the solar panels.


During the earlier hunt, they had obtained 21,321 crystal cores.


Gu Changqing took 5,000 and left the rest to be distributed among his men.


After that, all of them went back to cultivate. With their minds, they could absorb the pure energy in the crystal cores.



In the living room of the main building.


"What else can you do apart from live streaming?"


Gu Changqing had already removed his armor. He sat on the couch and crossed his long legs. He looked cold and majestic, and there was a playful expression on his face at this moment as he looked at Tuan Tuan, who stood in front of him.


To be honest, Gu Changqing did not have a good impression of most Internet celebrities. Of course, exceptions were made for the really good gamers who live-streamed themselves playing games.


When Tuan Tuan heard these words, she could not help but feel aggrieved. She bit her lip lightly before she said in a low voice, "I learn very fast."


Tuan Tuan was dressed simply in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt that revealed her belly button. She was not very tall, standing at 1.6 meters, but her figure was very good. Many men fantasized about her figure during her live broadcast. Her chest was voluptuous, and her buttocks were perky. Her legs were just right; they were not too thin or thick. Her delicate oval face was fair, and she had a pair of big dark eyes.


"Forget it," Gu Changqing said expressionlessly.


Upon hearing this, Tuan Tuan's heart trembled. She quickly kneeled in front of Gu Changqing and hugged his leg. With tears in her eyes, she said pitifully, "No, wait! The situation will definitely stabilize in the future. At that time, I'll start live streaming to earn money for you! I'll give all the money to you, okay?"


Gu Changqing looked at her in a new light. He raised her chin and said, "It seems like you're still able to think of the future. Indeed. Although it's chaotic now, the situation will stabilize in the future. At that time, you'll still be able to live stream."


At this moment, Wang Rong who was standing at the side said in a low voice, "Young Master, why don't you… let her stay?"


Wang Rong was dressed in a nightgown that accentuated her voluptuous figure at this moment.


Gu Changqing released Tuan Tuan and said before going upstairs, "Very well. I'll leave her to you to handle."


Tuan Tuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Boss!"


Tuan Tuan finally calmed down.


Wang Rong stepped forward and comforted Tuan Tuan. "Girl, you can't be idle in the future. You'll have to clean every day. Otherwise, Young Master might kick you out."


"Thank you. I know!" Tuan Tuan said, thanking Wang Rong.



In Gu Changqing's room on the third floor.


Gu Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed, holding five crystal cores in his hands. He circulated his spiritual power before he absorbed the crystal cores.


Soon enough, wisps of white energy entered his body. They permeated his bones and cells, circulating through his body before they were devoured by the 11 divine runes.


Time passed very quickly. It was already 3 AM when he began to cultivate. In just a blink of an eye, dawn broke, heralding a new day. However, the sky was gloomy, shrouded by a thick gray haze.



In the capital's conference hall.


Three pandas, which were tens of meters tall, guarded the conference hall along with fully armed military tanks. Originally, the pandas were already as intelligent as a two or three-year-old child. After the mutation, they became even more intelligent. They knew they were treated like natural treasures, and they had been treated and fed well. Now that the country was in trouble, how could they not help? At this stage, they were definitely among the strongest mutant beasts.


In the hall, three men in their fifties sat facing each other. They looked dignified and solemn at this moment as they watched the devastating scenes projected on the screen.


Long Zhanguo from the Department of Defense said in a deep voice, "This change came too suddenly and caught everyone off guard. I heard that Gu Changqing, the richest man in Longjiang City, spent billions to build a shelter in April."


Xuanyuan Wang Rui from the Ministry of Finance nodded and said, "That's right. I didn't pay attention to it back then. Could he predict the future, or is it just a coincidence?"


Huang Mengguo from the Department of Political Affairs said, "Do you think there's such a coincidence in this world? Gu Changqing is definitely not simple."


As Huang Mengguo spoke, he clicked a button.


The image on the screen changed to that of the shelter.


The trio gasped when they saw the scene at the shelter.


A seemingly endless army of ants, all of which had the size of a puppy at least, surrounded the shelter and were climbing up the walls. However, when they reached a height of ten meters, they were electrocuted by the steel plates and quickly fell to the ground.


"I didn't know we had this kind of ants in the desert in the western suburbs of Longjiang City…"


"Should we send fighter jets over to help Gu Changqing? He might know a lot. If he dies, the gains won't be able to make up for the losses."


"Let's see if Gu Changqing can solve this problem first."


"Turn on the satellite network first so we can contact Gu Changqing."


After that, the three leaders stared at the screen solemnly.
