Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 205 - 161: Alien Cockroaches
"Lord Wu Hen, we have detected more alien insects inside, and they are climbing out." A man equipped with new fighting clothes flew up to Wu Hen and spoke respectfully.
"What else have you found?" Wu Hen continued to inquire.
"There might be a wormhole inside, similar to the Ying Snake that once dominated our ocean islands. The white miasma gas they produce has the characteristic of spatial corrosion, and there’s a high likelihood the other end of the wormhole is their nest." The man in the new fighting clothes explained.
A wormhole?
Wu Hen furrowed his brows.
The Ying Snake also possessed a similar ability to transport its nest into the Divine Realm of Nuwa.

If a wormhole nibbled through the interior of Divine Realm of Nuwa, then most likely, the other end of the wormhole is Insect Island!
The problem is that larvae already possess a racial superiority over humans. Their swarming out in groups has embarrassed an advanced city like ours, and if adult insects could also come through this wormhole, one dares not imagine the annihilation it would cause to our homeland!
Wu Hen had witnessed the strength of the adults...
No wonder the Divine Realm of Nuwa emitted cries of sorrow, this disaster was more severe than he had anticipated.
"Is there a way to get closer?" Wu Hen asked.
The white wormhole inside must be expanding, and more larvae will crawl out.
If this white wormhole isn’t sealed, before long, our home will become an insect planet, and the billions of humans wouldn’t be enough for these insects to feed on.
"We already have departments collecting and testing specimens, and believe we will have results within a day," the man in the fighting clothes expressed with some confidence.
"Lord Wu Hen, the headquarters of the SuperAbnormals has the most advanced bio-research institute and genetics academy, and they will find a substance to counteract it," Tu Shanlan gave a strong assurance.
"Yes, we’ve collected some of the Ghost Mosquito shells and used them to scoop up the white mold dust to bring back for testing. Even in the otherworldly environment, there can’t be substances that rot and corrupt everything, otherwise, the Red Zhe could not possibly survive," the man in the fighting clothes stated.
Using the shells of Ghost Mosquitoes to carry this terrifying substance was quite an ingenious idea.
Since Ghost Mosquitoes can fly freely in the white miasma, it means the Mold Body is harmless to the alien insects...
Initially, Wu Hen worried that the technology of his hometown would be too primitive to analyze the properties of this otherworldly material. Now, it appears that the people of Red Port who worship force and violence might not think as innovatively as his fellow townsfolk.
If they could find a way to overcome this weakened version of the Mold Body, he could also approach Insect Island and find Death Omen Yuan You!
"Good, I’ll leave it to you then," Wu Hen nodded.
"Thank you for coming and protecting the people of Lun Mountain City," the man in the fighting clothes bowed, then flew towards a laboratory.
Watching the man in fighting clothes leave, Wu Hen couldn’t help saying, "The people here are much more amiable."
"Those gathered here also adhere to the same ideals as us," Tu Shanlan said.
"Really, that’s kind of coincidental," Wu Hen said, casting his gaze around.
Suddenly, deep growls echoed again from within the white miasma, as creatures with oily green heads crawled out.
Covered in black armor, their heads featured two very prominent antennae, making them look like metallic tanks. The whole body shimmered with a metallic sheen, but upon closer inspection, one could see their abdomens and mouths covered in disgusting fur. Their limbs were densely packed with saw-like bristles, and their sticky paws crawled across the ground, leaving behind droplets resembling urea poison liquid!
"Cock... cockroaches!"
Among the surrounding Guardians, some of the women screamed.
The cockroaches, the size of small tanks, had their repulsive and ugly faces magnified. Compared to those large flying cockroaches, they looked many times more ferocious, making one shudder uncontrollably at a single glance!
The crowd suddenly erupted into chaos, with more and more people seeing the cockroaches and feeling fearful, including those Spirit Awakeners. It seemed like an innate unease embedded in their genes.
Previously, Wu Hen had always wondered why humans were afraid of insects that couldn’t possibly threaten their lives, such as cockroaches, spiders, and caterpillars in humid environments...
Some scholars had suggested that before humans dominated the Earth, insects were the sovereigns of the planet. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the terror of insects had been imprinted in human genes, causing an instinctive fear even in this era.
Now, this theory seemed to be very close to the truth.
Because the early ancestors of the Nuwa Lineage originally dwelt in the otherworldly realm, where insects were absolutely one of mankind’s natural predators. Even after biological simulations had made them harmless to humans in their homeland, the fear inherited from genes hadn’t been completely eliminated.
"Cockroaches move incredibly fast, especially if they have the build of a small tank..." Wu Hen muttered to himself.
Sure enough, as expected, the otherworldly cockroaches emerged from the white miasma and attacked everything around them like mad.
"The data shows that a cockroach’s crawl speed is about 50 times its body length," Tu Shanlan’s mecha seemed to be connected to an information network.
"Not good, all those below the Cangxia Level must retreat five kilometers!" Wu Hen realized this and hurriedly ordered.
These otherworldly cockroaches weren’t as easy to kill as Ghost Mosquitoes, and Wu Hen’s Third Rank Physique couldn’t kill them with his bare hands due to their thick metal shells.
It was like a modern warfare scene, black metallic tanks zipped across the land, each one a dark metal bomb striking the surrounding buildings...
Whether ordinary residential buildings or sturdy reinforced concrete towers, a single otherworldly cockroach could destroy them just by moving through.
Many Guardians stood up to stop the invasion of these otherworldly cockroaches, but those not at Cangxia Level were basically smashed into mush on impact!
People had never seen such massive creatures moving as fast as bullets, and the otherworldly cockroaches had two forms. On land, their limbs were powerful, comparable to high-power mechanical steel pincers;
They also had wings. When those wings flapped, they stirred up a cloud of murky toxic gas, corroding the surrounding vegetation and mountains, and even splashing on some cars and buses, causing them to corrode!
The Ghost Mosquitoes and otherworldly cockroaches appeared simultaneously, and both targeted humans with fresh blood, but unlike the purposeful Ghost Mosquitoes, the otherworldly cockroaches didn’t care whether their prey was ordinary humans or Spirit Awakeners—any living person was their target, charging at them like relentless blood-red killing machines.
