Chapter 400: Chapter 400 The Great Human-Insect War
In just moments, it had reached the man’s feet.
Its red body was indeed quite terrifying to look at.
Everyone took a few fearful steps back.
Surprisingly, the nearest medical staff member didn’t flinch.
After approaching, he simply lifted his foot and stepped down on it.
"It’s okay now, just a bug."
As he spoke, he even flashed a smile.
Jhiang Yuan couldn’t believe it, was it dead just like that?
"Ah..."
Sure enough, the next second, the man began to feel uncomfortable.
He hastily lifted his foot to look, and the red bug was not on the ground anymore.
There wasn’t even a trace of it being crushed.
"Where did it go?"
The rest of the people started to get nervous.
The first doctor who ran over actually crouched down, inspecting the ground carefully.
"It’s on your foot..."
Following a loud shout, the medical staff member suddenly fell to the ground.
Now, everyone could see the situation clearly.
The bug from before was wriggling its plump body, burrowing up from under his foot.
It was already halfway in, otherwise, the man wouldn’t be in such agony.
Jhiang Yuan could hardly believe it, the man was even wearing shoes, this creature was truly demonic.
"Move aside..."
The nearby doctor said, and began to get busy.
He put on disposable gloves, attempting to pull the bug out.
Seemingly sensing his intent, the bug zipped into the man even faster.
The remaining doctor stood there awkwardly, frozen in place.
The man’s condition was not good either; he started convulsing, shaking all over.
His chest heaved violently, as if he was being electrocuted.
Everyone was at a loss for what to do; the bug could enter and exit a human body at will.
This completely violated human knowledge; everything became confusing.
"This is bad..."
Jhiang Yuan watched the man start to clutch at his neck; this was not a good sign at all!
"The woman before was clutching her neck too, and then she died shortly after."
Squad Leader Cheng shouted, and they all realized what was happening, but there was nothing they could do!
The doctor panicked as he watched his colleague’s veins bulge.
And the bulge at the top kept pressing upward.
"This is it, this must be the bug; can we try to extract it?"
Right now, that seemed like the best idea Jhiang Yuan could come up with.
"Scalpel and tweezers—"
The doctor yelled out; they did bring such things for emergencies.
The people behind him were frantically searching, overwhelmed with astonishment.
He took the scalpel and tweezers, but he couldn’t go through with it, the man was shaking too much.
"Get a few people to hold him down..."
Without the anticipated effect, the male doctor was taken aback.
Not a single person stepped forward, including Jhiang Yuan.
She had witnessed the entire process of how the bug moved from one body to another just before.
Now, no one dared to gamble with their own life.
"I’ll do it—"
Squad Leader Cheng took the lead, obviously after a long internal struggle.
The person who came with her also stepped forward.
"Too late—"
It was indeed too late; the bug had already reached the top of the man’s head, its speed faster than before.
No one expected that a moment of hesitation could cost a person’s life.
"Not good, get out of the way quickly."
As expected, the next second, the red bug drilled out from above their heads.
This time its body seemed to have grown larger by a circle, and the color had deepened, approaching the color of cherries.
Jiang Yuan worried about the two children and quickly sought out Qin Yue’s figure.
Their mother was also nervous and immediately took them to hide in the back kitchen.
There was no immediate danger, and soon, the bug had entirely emerged.
The person convulsed one last time and then lay still.
The corpulent body of the bug fell straight to the ground.
With a kip up, it flipped over and began to search for a target.
The people nearby scattered like frightened birds and animals.
The door to the restaurant was pushed open, and a wind-beaten Jiang Yuan and Song Yi entered.
Four people followed behind them, presumably looking for a meal.
For those like them, whose missions had no set times, upon return, they could get a meal made on the spot.
"Song Yi, Jiang Yuan, watch out for the bug on the ground."
Seeing the red creature moving toward the door, she was also frightened.
Hearing this, Song Yi and the others also looked down; the bug was moving fast and had already covered half the distance.
"It can burrow into the human body, don’t let it touch you."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, the others quickly stepped back several paces.
Song Yi was the first to react, drawing his short knife immediately.
The red bug, sensing the people’s aversion, hastened its pace.
Song Yi threw a pebble, striking the bug’s body with precision.
Such a small, moving target, and yet his aim was so accurate—impressive!
There was no time for admiration, as the bug writhed a few times as if it felt pain.
However, after just a few seconds, it continued toward its original target.
Song Yi, calm and collected, fished a lighter from his pocket.
He lit a notebook he had and threw it down directly.
The bug, encountering the fire, also showed fear and abruptly turned to run back the way it came.
Jiang Yuan, seeing its fear, quickly pulled out his own notebook.
He tore out several pages and handed them to Song Yi.
This time, he lit them separately, surrounding the bug with fire.
The insect was frantic but couldn’t escape the circle of fire.
The last bunch of paper was thrown directly onto it.
The bug thrashed wildly as though trying to leap out.
The colleagues standing behind were also astutely adding paper to the fire to keep it burning.
Finally, a small sound, akin to an explosion, sounded.
"Damn, the bug actually exploded~"
Ye Mianmian’s voice carried traces of shock.
Finally, the others grew bold enough to move forward.
On the ground, apart from the ashes, there was also a pool of red liquid.
Perhaps it couldn’t be called blood, just the bug’s mucus.
Regardless, the blood-red expanse was quite terrifying to behold.
"Song Yi, are you okay~"
Squad Leader Cheng immediately went over to stand beside him.
There was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
If it hadn’t been for his composure in the face of danger, the bug would probably still be rampaging.
Everyone had witnessed Song Yi’s capabilities.
She, a soldier to the core, naturally admired such strength. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
However, the man did not even glance at her, replying politely, "I’m fine~"
Then he headed over to Jiang Yuan, with undisguised concern in his eyes.
"How about you, are you okay?"
"I’m fine. These two people are gone; it was the red bug bursting out of their heads that did it."
