Chapter 745: Yin Yusheng’s Lazy Ancestor ( 1 )
Today was November 25th, 2188. There were only five days left before winter was coming.
At this moment, the Phantom Team was on its way back to the Green Lake Base. When they flew across the border areas, they noticed thick smoke coming from several nearby areas.
Seeing this, Qin Luzi checked his map and said, "Captain, there are more than one thousand people below. Ten percent of them are ability-users."
Jin Xuyan glanced out of the window but didn’t hear any roars of zombies or see any mutants. "Are they being attacked right now?"
Qin Luzi looked at his map and noticed the yellow blanket. "Captain, there should be mutants there. But this mutant’s size is too massive. It covers almost the entire area."
When he finished his words, the members were shocked. They quickly looked outside the window, trying to see the massive mutant. But besides the thick black smoke, they saw nothing.
They didn’t doubt Qin Luzi’s words because they trusted his psychic ability. The problem was, if such a massive mutant was not visible, then where was it?
Just as this question flashed through their minds, Jin Xuyan said, "Old Zhang, find a place to land. Let’s check it out."
"Okay."
Since they didn’t know what was going on, Zhang Yuan chose a building located two hundred meters away from the black smoke. After they landed, Jiao Lizhi stored the military chopper in her space.
The members stared into the distance and noticed that the people were not running, but rushing to climb into higher places.
After a moment, Jin Xuyan said, "Everyone, stay together and be careful."
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
Although there might be danger, they couldn’t bring themselves to watch those people die without helping. The members followed Jin Xuyan and headed toward the area.
The closer they got to the group of people, the clearer the view on Qin Luzi’s map became.
He was stunned when he realized that the vast, wide blanket-like thing was actually made of countless small yellow dots. The dots were so dense and small that they looked like one.
"Captain, it’s not a massive mutant, but countless small mutants. The number should be at least several million!"
As soon as he said this, the members finally saw the situation clearly. Not far from them, a middle-aged man who was climbing a road sign slipped and fell to the ground.
The moment he touched the ground, a swarm of ants the size of peas covered his entire body.
"Ahhh! S-save me! HEL—"
Before the man finished his words, he had turned into a pile of bones. The members were shocked by this. When they thought this was the end, they saw the ants continue gnawing at the bones.
In less than five minutes, an adult man was reduced to nothing but a pile of tattered clothes and a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Feng Yun quickly raised his hand and created a spatial barrier, blocking the mutant ants from all directions, including the ground.
"What the hell is this thing?!" Xiao Qi exclaimed in shock.
"This looks like a blood-red ant," Mo Junjie said as he squatted and stared at the mutant ant.
"Although the ant is small in size, it can spray an acidic liquid, which might be the reason it can dissolve a man so quickly. Their venom also seems to be more potent than a king cobra’s after mutation," he added with a hint of excitement.
When the members heard his words, they couldn’t help but swallow. With so many ants, if each of them spat once at them, they would indeed turn into a pool of blood in no time.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Xiao Qi asked.
Jin Xuyan considered the best method. Although they could kill the ants using their abilities, if they didn’t destroy the hive, there would be no end to this danger.
While everyone was racking their brains, Yin Yusheng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Captain, maybe I have a solution."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan nodded at him. "Tell us your idea."
"Captain, I have a mutant moss, and my Xianxian can devour everything. It might be able to solve this ant problem."
When the members heard this, they looked at him with questioning gazes. Besides Jin Xuyan, Jiao Lizhi, and Du Beiye, not many members knew about his mutant moss.
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "Give it a try."
Yin Yusheng nodded and stood near the barrier.
Hearing this, Mo Junjie quickly took out a glass tube and a pair of pincers from his spatial necklace.
He used his black mist to knock out the nearby ants and put them into the glass tube. After he sealed the glass tube, he put it back into his spatial necklace.
Jiao Lizhi, Du Beiye, and Jin Xuyan noticed his small movements, but they didn’t expose him. He might look like a mad scientist, but after they interacted with him for a long time, they understood his personality.
He is just a little bit perverted when it comes to experiments, but he would never do anything that crosses the borderline of humanity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse the Facility’s offer.
To avoid being bitten to death, Yin Yusheng only pushed his palm outside the barrier. As he circulated his energy, both Kuikui and his neem tree stirred. But he used his energy to soothe them and let them continue sleeping.
This time, he needed Xianxian, so he poked it with his energy and pushed it toward his palm. Although his mutant moss was lazier than the other two, it had a larger energy pool.
Soon after, Yin Yusheng’s palm was covered in a dark green color. The next moment, moss started to grow on the ground and spread into the surroundings.
The speed of the moss was slow, but everywhere it passed, nothing was left behind. Not to mention the mutant ants, even the tattered clothes, pools of blood, and stones were devoured by it.
