Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Exchange

“There are too many bugs, we need to move them!”

Chu Zixuan pointed to the bugs beneath his feet, somewhat helpless. While the bugs had been tidied up, their sheer size meant that their corpses occupied nearly the whole space.

Du Gang scratched his head, slightly irritated. On their journey, they had killed no small number of these bugs.

“Well, let’s move them then!”

He sighed, glanced at Chu Zixuan standing motionless on top of the bug corpses, and started to move them himself.

Regrettably, he was the only one who could do this job. Chu Zixuan’s telekinetic superpower drained his energy based on the volume of the objects he controlled. The bigger the object, the more energy it consumed and the shorter the time he could maintain control. For this bug-moving task, Du Gang estimated that Chu Zixuan could only do it once or twice before needing a break.

Soon, Du Gang turned into some kind of manual labourer, moving all the bugs in this area outside the door.

During this process, they discovered a peculiar phenomenon. The bugs’ antennae would spontaneously combust into ashes under the sunlight. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

The entire yard was now nearly half fill with bugs, causing An Ya and the others to retreat to a very distant place, watching them from afar.

Watching their reactions, Du Gang felt a twinge of annoyance in his heart. But he did not lash out. Instead, he resumed his true size and rejoined Chu Zixuan at the entrance of the cellar.

The entrance was blocked by a huge steel plate, and simply by knocking on it, one could tell how thick it was from the echo it produced.

The steel plate had handles on both sides for pulling.

Du Gang stepped forward to grip the handles, pulling it slightly, but it did not budge.

It seemed like it was locked from the inside.

“If I transformed, I might be able to pull it open!” freewebnov(e)l.com

Chu Zixuan shook his head, “Don’t break the lock!”

Having said that, he stepped forward, knocked forcefully on the steel plate, and shouted, “Can anyone hear me inside?”

As he shouted, he also used his Mental Power to probe the inside.

Those inside, who had initially been scattered around, were now gathered around the entrance with weapons in hand.

It seemed like the soundproofing of this steel plate wasn’t as good as they had

expected.

“Who’s there?”

A muffled voice came from under the steel plate.

“Humans, we’re humans. You’re safe for now, you can open the door!” Chu Zixuan continued to lie on the ground, shouting in response.

There were thirteen people under the steel plate, all wearing police uniforms. Having heard the voice, they came together for a discussion.

“Is it really human?”

“Could it be the bugs in disguise?”

“Impossible, have you been watching too much Galaxy Warriors?”

“Could it be the military coming to rescue us?”

“But we didn’t hear any gunfire!”

“Or maybe the bugs have already left on their own?”

Earlier, they indeed heard some rustling sounds, as if something was being dragged on the ground.

After a long discussion among the thirteen inside, they finally decided to crack the steel plate open and have a look.

They couldn’t stay in there forever. Eventually, they’d run out of food and have to leave. So, they might as well take a gamble to see if those outside were real humans!

With a “click”, the steel door cracked open from the inside.

The people inside cautiously peeked out. Seeing the faces of Chu Zixuan and Du Gang, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Following that, the people inside exerted their strength again to push open the steel plate.

With a “thud”, the steel plate door fell heavily to the ground, making a loud noise.

After looking around, Du Gang saw that the bugs were all still sleeping soundly, not being woken by the noise.

The first person who came out was so startled that he almost jumped back down.

Thankfully, Chu Zixuan acted fast and pulled him back up quickly, assuring him, “It’s fine, it’s fine, the bugs are all asleep!”

After quite some explanation, the thirteen people inside finally crawled up one by one onto the surface.

“So, you’re students?”

He Yongjun, the lead police officer and detective chief of the police station, who was also the highest-ranking officer among the thirteen present, voiced his confusion.

No wonder he was surprised. Du Gang, standing at a height of 1.9 meters with muscles all over, would be intimidating to anyone. But now, someone was telling him that this figure was a high school student? “Yes, we have four other companions outside. Three students and one teacher!”

Seeing their disbelief, Du Gang could only lead them outside.

As expected, upon seeing Ma Li and the others standing outside, the thirteen people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a bit, Du Gang felt that this situation should be handled by Chu Zixuan, so he caught his eye and gestured.

Upon seeing this, Chu Zixuan nodded and asked, “Can I know what happened here?”

He Yongjun sighed, ‘We were ordered to stay at the police station for further notice. But after the sun set, the bugs appeared. We tried to fight back with our guns…”

“Who knew, these bugs don’t fear guns. Their shells are so strong that bullets

can’t penetrate…”

“In a panic, only our group managed to escape into the air-raid shelter…”

After their retelling, everyone learned that in the face of disaster, all are equal. Faced with these bugs, even the guns were of no use.

Furthermore, compared to other people who hid in their homes, these people’s casualty rate was much higher because they put too much faith in their guns!

At this time, Chu Zixuan interjected, “You fought the bugs?”

“Yes!”

“We’ve seen the speed of the bugs. It’s very fast. How did you escape?!

He found it odd. Considering the external signs of gunfire and the traces of bombs, it looked quite unusual.

“It was our comrade Su Qi. She awakened her superpower and held off the bugs!”

He Yongjun didn’t elaborate on what the superpower was and instead asked, “What about you? How did you manage to get from the laboratory to here?”

Not in a hurry to answer, Chu Zixuan glanced at the bugs, then at Du Gang. After assessing their agreement, Chu Zixuan began to speak, “We stayed in the school all night. When day broke, we found the bugs had all hidden, so we came to the nearest police station to check on the situation…”

At this moment, one of the revived police officers had already noticed the tracks on the ground, he frowned, “These bugs…they were dragged out, not crawled out on their own…”

“He’s the one who dragged them!”

Chu Zixuan pointed at Du Gang and laughed, “Like your colleague, my classmate and I have also awakened our superpowers. His superpower is increased strength, mine is telekinesis!”

Having said that, he loosened the grip on his knife and the pointed blade floated in mid-air..
