When the giant bug that was as high as two stories lowered its body bit by bit, as the target it was targeting, Lin Sanjiu felt that this scene was enough to give him nightmares for several days afterwards.
￠￡
This time, No. 43 had used up the chance to talk before her; seeing that her time was coming to an end - but she knew very well that not a single word of what she just said had been heard by this pest.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether the bug could "smell" things, but when it stretched out a furry leg and waved it near her ear like a fan, she did hear the flat figure above the bug.
There was a sharp inhalation sound coming from his face.
"It's exactly what No. 46 said." The pest retracted its legs, rubbed them back and forth for a while, and said in a very regretful tone: "...Ah, I didn't expect you to come up with such a way to avoid contact with me.
"
"I'm so sad." The pest said while holding his two thin feet in front of his "chest". "After all, you are the first bud I bitten. I thought the relationship between us was very special.
Woolen cloth."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at it with an ugly expression, her throat getting dry: "...If you want me to die, I have to find a way not to die. Is there anything strange about it?"
"Oh - my lady, you misunderstood." Unexpectedly, the pest suddenly laughed again: "I am not sad that you lied to me, but sad that a beautiful lady like you will disappear from this farm soon.
Woolen cloth."
As soon as she heard these words, Lin Sanjiu's body reacted to the current situation one step ahead of her brain. She kicked her feet and jumped back; however, the "gnawing" of the pests was absolutely unavoidable——
With a "tsk" sound, her sleeves were torn off heavily, and fell to the ground flutteringly when the insect's huge body pounced.
Next, all the eyes staring in this direction saw clearly: the shadow of a pest had actually penetrated into her arm.
No. 43 immediately let out a scream - seeing the first victim appearing in the germination period, even the group of No. 46 could not think of being happy at this time, and the sounds of gasping sounded one after another;
Then, when Lin Sanjiu's body hit the ground hard, it was so dull that it penetrated into everyone's hearts.
"Well……"
The pest stood up straight. His eyes fell on the land under the fence. He stared at Lin Sanjiu for a while.
"...What else is it going to do?" No. 48 asked blankly, his voice so loud that even No. 43 on the other bridge could clearly hear it.
The pest's countless thin legs swayed a few times and opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something. Just as everyone, including No. 47, who had just woken up, stretched their necks and ears to listen to it.
When I saw it, its small building-like body suddenly shook a few times.
Without warning, the pest slowly fell backwards - with a loud "bang", yellow dust suddenly rose up in the air; for a while, the soil particles and dust were so choking that people couldn't even open their mouths.
Open - the earthen bridge shook violently, as if it would soon be unable to bear the weight and crack. No. 43, who had just escaped from the pest, staggered for a while and finally fell down.
"Ah, the pest is dead."
Before the group on No. 46 could understand what happened, Harry's voice revealed the answer in the air.
"...I can't believe it, you did a good job." He complimented in a brisk tone, "Wait for me, I will handle this situation, and I will come back as soon as I go."
Immediately, Harry's voice disappeared again, leaving only a confused crowd.
"The pest is dead?" No. 46 was the first to call out in the direction of the other bridge, "What's going on?"
From where he was, he could still see most of the insect's abdomen protruding from the top of the fence. Countless furry legs were trembling incessantly. The huge size occupied most of the earth bridge, which made people wonder what was happening on the bridge.
The earthen fence has not broken into pieces yet.
From that bridge, there was no response from No. 43 for several minutes; No. 46 shouted several times again. At this time, from the other end of the earth bridge, an arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed it with a "snap"
fence.
...When Lin Sanjiu's sweaty, pale face gradually appeared in everyone's sight, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Did I guess wrong? You...did you really spray pesticide on yourself?" After a while, No. 46 asked in a daze. "No...no, this doesn't make sense at all.
!”
"I'm not that stupid," Lin Sanjiu replied breathlessly: "...Harry said that the consequences of spraying pesticides are more serious than being bitten by bugs, and I am not willing to risk my life."
Another face emerged from under the fence, it was No. 43 - he looked around and hurried over to help Lin Sanjiu up.
"Hey, this is not important." Unexpectedly, she shook her head repeatedly to stop him. Her body was still hanging on the fence and the arm she had just been bitten dropped: "Hurry up and untie it for me. It's really disgusting.
Already."
Untie? Untie what?
While everyone in No. 46 was still confused, No. 43 immediately responded and then stretched out his hand to Lin Sanjiu's arm - on her arm, the whiteness on her arm was completely gone.
The blood-red patterns left by previous insect bites.
...No, that's not right. If you look closely, the color of her arms - obviously not the same color as the skin color of her head, face, and the back of her hands -
No. 43 grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist with one hand, and with a strong force, she actually lifted a corner from there - the corner tore off bigger and bigger, and then actually peeled off a thick piece of fat white skin from her arm.
; As soon as the human skin was peeled off, the skin of Lin Sanjiu's own arm was immediately exposed, covered with dried body fluids and blood.
"Throw it away," Lin Sanjiu frowned, looking extremely uncomfortable: "...I never want to see human skin again in my life."
"Human, human skin?" No. 46 understood everything at this time, "You sprayed pesticide on human skin?"
"Where did the ready-made human skin come from?" Lin Sanjiu sneered, "...wasn't it peeled off from the corpse?"
Corpse——?
No. 46 frowned when the tall woman opposite laughed again: "You don't know me. I don't have many valuable things, and I often lack this or that... There is only one thing that I never
If there is no shortage, it will be a corpse."
As she spoke, she glanced at No. 45: "Speaking of which, the reason why I came up with the idea of skinning was inspired by you."
No. 45 bit his lip and said nothing with a gloomy expression.
"In other words, you sprayed pesticide on the body. Then you peeled off the skin of the body and wrapped it in the places where insects always bite?" No. 48 seemed to have forgotten that they were in a hostile state just a few minutes ago.
, asked stammeringly.
"Don't explain the process so clearly," Lin Sanjiu rubbed her arm with her sleeve unhappily. "...Bad memories have come to mind. But, that's exactly what happened. Human skin.
We just wrapped it up ten minutes before the bugs came. In order to cover up this step of the plan, I put on long-sleeved clothes a long time ago."
"Then how do you know the pest will bite you and not No. 43?"
"He also has a piece on his arm!" Lin Sanjiu glanced at No. 48 with an expression that looked like a fool: "Although Fei Da is a degenerate, he also has two arms."
No. 48 closed his mouth in embarrassment and glanced at No. 46. The latter's face could not tell what kind of expression he had at this time - he thought he was in a situation where two groups were fighting, so he deliberately thought
They tried all kinds of methods; but to their surprise, in the end, the two groups of common enemies were solved by the other party in such a simple way——
No. 46's face turned red and white, and he opened his lips several times, but could not make a sound for a long time. However, Lin Sanjiu looked at him with a smile, refusing to relax at all. Fortunately, at this time, No. 43's questioning voice
It resolved some embarrassment for him in time: "... Now that the bug is dead, is the germination period over?"
Naturally, no one but Harry could answer this question.
Somehow, No. 43 asked several more times, and Harry, who didn't know what he had just done, hurriedly spoke up.
"I'm back, I'm back... Oh, you ask what to do next? This is true," he sighed and laughed, "whether there are pests or not, does not affect the time it takes for you to germinate! Yours
There are still three days left in the germination period, so make good use of these few days and absorb as much nutrients as possible!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
This result can be said to be something that even Lin Sanjiu did not expect - she originally thought that the pests were dead and the challenge of the germination period would be over naturally; but then she thought about it, if she could really recover in peace and quiet.
Three days is indeed a good thing.
"Well...that..."
From the bridge where No. 46's group was, the somewhat hesitant voice of No. 45 suddenly came. Ever since she discovered that her identity had actually been known to everyone, she had rarely spoken. This was the first time today.
Opened his mouth: "Let me tell you, has there been any change in the insect's body?"
Being reminded by her words, everyone immediately turned their attention to the huge insect corpse.
Just now, it was clear that a large piece of the abdomen was exposed above the fence, but she didn't know if it was her imagination, but Lin Sanjiu vaguely felt that the height of the insect's abdomen had become lower. She looked down at the land, but it was completely covered with insects.
Most of the shiny limbs and hairy feet were covered, and dust was splashed everywhere. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what had changed.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you yet," Harry seemed to have just remembered, "Although plants in nature are harmed by insect pests, they also receive a series of benefits brought by them. Of course,
On this farm, you have no seeds for bugs to spread; accordingly, after the bugs die, the bug corpses are decomposed by microorganisms, and the pesticides are filtered by the soil. Eventually, the bugs turn into rich nutrients in the soil, which in turn are used as energy.
Replenish and nourish your physical strength - No. 43, No. 49, you two should be starting to feel a little better by now, right?"
Lin Sanjiu blinked, her expression still a bit dazed - she looked carefully again and finally confirmed that the huge insect corpse was slowly sinking like melted ice cream; at the same time,
The soil under her feet was getting warmer and warmer, as if countless thin streams of heat were rushing into her blood vessels from under her feet.
Looking down, she saw that the dark yellow skin on her feet, which was dry and skinny due to not eating for a long time, was slowly plumping up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Where the warm current passed, the protruding veins were gradually smoothed out.
Starting from her toes and working her way up, her skin finally regained its honey-like color.
"I feel like my physical strength has returned a bit," No. 43 also looked at his hands in surprise and clenched his fists: "I'm gradually getting a little stronger!"
Looking at Lin Sanjiu's face, he seemed to have remembered something, and smiled bitterly: "... Indeed, looking at the dead body of that insect is indeed a bit disgusting... Don't think too much about it, just absorb it.
.”
The group of No. 46 stared blankly at this side, and no one spoke for a while. After a few seconds, No. 45 was the first to react: "Why, is their side the only one with nutrition?"
"...The bugs died on that earth bridge, so of course they can only nourish the land over there." Harry responded matter-of-factly.
If Lin Sanjiu hadn't felt vaguely nauseous when he thought that his energy came from the corpses of vermin, Lin Sanjiu would have really wanted to laugh three times at them - especially the way No. 46 sat back down on the earth bridge in anger.
It made her very happy.
It took two days for the corpse of the pest to completely melt into the soil. When it completely disappeared from the earth bridge, Lin Sanjiu felt that he was about to return to his heyday.
Not only her physical strength, she could clearly feel that her consciousness and potential had increased significantly; but another consequence of this was that her hallucinations were also gradually increasing.
disappear.
When there was only one day left in the germination period, No. 43 gently walked to her side and sat down.
"I know that if it weren't for you this time," he put on the turban again at some point, his face full of sincere gratitude. "I'm afraid I wouldn't even have any bones left. No matter what happens next during the germination period,
Whatever happens, don’t worry, I will definitely be by your side—"
Before he finished speaking, his face disappeared.
After wrapping up No. 43's head in one bite, an evergreen insect several times larger than a human head took the place of his original head.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly jumped up, raised his hand, and the [High Frequency Particle Oscillation Cutting Knife] he struck out slid off the caterpillar as if it had been greased; he ignored the meaningless attacks around him, and the evergreen worm "
"Guji, Guji" completely swallowed the body of No. 43, which was still struggling.
"Thank you, little girl," the Evergreen Beetle's dull eyes like a toy stared at Lin Sanjiu, who was still rushing up and attacking it like crazy: "...that talkative beetle is mine.
The natural enemy, now that it is dead, I can finally come out and eat the shoots - unlike it, I like to eat a whole plant at a time."
The next thought that popped up in Lin Sanjiu's mind made her suddenly feel deeply disgusted with herself.
...Fortunately, the germination period is about to end. (To be continued.)
ps: No matter what you say, I like the way this germination period ends! It’s so willful.
