Chapter 261 Captain He, your medicine is here.
Yin Yanhan acted decisively and slapped the metal corridor wall with his palm. The holes in the iron mesh of the vent closed instantly, cutting off the silky tentacles like a gate knife.
Two tentacles floated down swayingly.
Yin Yanhan mobilized his mental power and closed all the vents at the top of the passage from near to far.
The contents of the ventilation ducts quickly receded like the tide.
But obviously they won't give up.
He Yang bent down and picked up the two tentacles that had fallen to the ground. They were half an arm long and shook them in his hands.
He asked curiously, "Honey, what has such long tentacles?"
Ai Wanxin counted on her fingers and showed him the numbers: "Katydid, cricket, longhorn beetle, moth, crane fly, blind ground beetle..."
Tuoba Qiong looked at the passage in the direction they came from and said coldly: "Captain He, you grew up in the Glory City in the south. Have you ever thought that those are cockroach whiskers?"
He Yang's expression cracked, but he forced himself not to throw away the tentacles in his hand. Instead, he smiled stiffly and said, "You don't know this, right? Cockroaches are actually not scary. Although the places they crawl in are not very clean, they are still very clean. Although they carry some pathogens on their bodies and in their bodies, the pathogens do not reproduce in their bodies. In addition, cockroaches can be used as medicine, so there is no need for us to demonize cockroaches like this, don't you think, sweetheart?"
"sweetheart?"
Ai Wanxin didn't know when she had walked forward at least three meters. She echoed and said without looking back: "That's right, there is no high or low in the world, no distinction between high and low, noble and humble. Humans can't be so arrogant and define other species according to their own preferences and convenience. Um, what? You guys chat first, I'm stewing soup at home, I'll leave first."
Yin Yanhan followed with big strides, and when passing by He Yang, he turned his head to avoid the tip of the tentacle in his hand.
Tuoba Qiongyi followed and walked forward. He glanced at He Yang with a sneer on his lips: "Captain He, your medicine is here."
Tuoba Qiong walked past him sideways, and He Yang's gaze slowly moved to the passage in the direction they came from.
On the floor, walls, and ceiling, countless long tentacles like the ones in his hands poked out from the darkness one after another, waving like antennas. The cockroaches' very distinctive bright brown carapace reflected an oily luster under the dim light of the emergency lighting.
This group of cockroaches seemed to be quite smart. They stopped in front of He Yang not too far away. The chaotic rustling sound stopped abruptly and the air almost froze.
He Yang raised his hands that were pinching the tentacles to his sides, and took a half step back in his hard, thick-soled military boots.
The cockroach swarm on the opposite side slowly and silently pressed forward. He Yang shook his head slightly and said softly, "Don't come over again."
On the ceiling, a cockroach in the front quietly raised its leathery front wings, and like a general waving a flag, all the cockroaches on the wall and the ground spread their wings and suddenly took off into the air, rolling towards He Yang like a dark cloud.
Almost at the same time, He Yang loosened his hands, turned around and flew towards the front of the passage. His long tentacles floated down and were cut into countless small sections by tiny threads of light that appeared in the air at some point in time.
The cockroaches rolled over and hit the hair-thin but extremely sharp light net, and were instantly cut into several pieces, bursting out a thick white body fluid.
He Yang set up such a light network along the way, which was quite effective in blocking the pursuit of the cockroach swarm.
He flew only a few steps before he caught up with Ai Wanxin and others who had left earlier. At this time, Tuoba Qing was standing in the front.
Not far in front of him, countless cockroaches of various sizes squeezed from the ceiling to the floor, but they could not move forward even a single step.
Some cockroaches were as big as washbasins, and some were as small as teacups. They seemed to be clinging to a transparent wall, revealing their segmented abdomens and six legs covered with fine hairs, and were crawling around in a disorderly manner.
Tuoba Qiong raised his hand, and the cockroaches stuck to the transparent wall exploded like bursting fruits, and sticky body fluids hung on the wall and flowed down in streams.
Above the four people's heads, the cockroach's well-developed mandibles bit through the steel plate, and its chewing mouthparts drilled out of the steel plate.
Behind him, cockroaches piled up one after another, covering the emergency lights and high-intensity flashlights. The light network lost most of its light sources, and its power was greatly weakened. Countless cockroaches took the opportunity to move closer.
As soon as Ai Wanxin raised her hand, He Yang grabbed it.
"Honey, be careful. The central equipment room is nearby. If it explodes, we won't be able to find any clues."
Ai Wanxin had no choice but to withdraw his hand. Yin Yanhan sealed the steel plate above his head again, and he swung out a blue-purple lightning.
Lightning struck the cockroaches along the metal channel like a spider web. Wherever it passed, the sound of cockroaches' bodies exploding could be heard one after another.
There was also a faint smell of burnt oil being burned at high temperatures...
Ai Wanxin seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She concluded that she wouldn't want to eat barbecue for a long time.
Tuoba Qing controlled the gravity field to advance towards the central equipment room, Yin Yanhan and He Yang moved back to block, leaving Ai Wanxin standing alone in the middle of the passage.
Just as she took a step forward, a huge force came from under her feet, the entire steel plate cracked, and a huge mouth rushed out from the gap.
Ai Wanxin was caught off guard and was almost knocked over. She could only jump up with the impact of her feet.
In a flash, she twisted her body in the air, and the long whip of golden-white flames swung towards the mouthparts that suddenly appeared.
The flaming whip "snapped" the giant cockroach's lower lip, making a loud bang.
The giant cockroach's lower lip was cut off in half, and the pain made it frantically try to squeeze out from underground.
The giant cockroach shook its triangular head wildly, its mouth wide open, and a pale face flashed across Ai Wan's mind.
In that moment of distraction, she was about to fall into the cockroach's corpse and body fluids. Fortunately, Tuoba Qiong flew over and caught her steadily in his arms.
"Is anything wrong?" he asked anxiously.
Ai Wanxin shook her head, and Tuoba Qiong's eyes were filled with rage. He loosened the hand that was around Ai Wanxin, and stretched out his five fingers, curling them up ferociously as if he was clutching the throat of his enemy.
The giant cockroach that was still madly arching upwards suddenly sank down, and the alloy floor beside it made a sound of being squeezed and deformed under the heavy pressure.
Ai Wanxin quickly grabbed his hand: "Don't kill him, he looks like a person."
Tuoba Qiong clenched his jaw and lowered his arm as the weak force from her exerted force. Finally, the heavy pressure from the giant cockroach was relieved.
On the other side, Yin Yanhan and He Yang, who discovered the incident, also rushed back. The four of them were temporarily separated on both sides by the giant cockroach in the middle.
The two people who were about to take action did not act rashly after hearing Ai Wanxin's words.
He Yang shouted, "Sweetheart, how are you?"
Ai Wanxin shook her head: "I'm fine, this seems to be a fusion person."
She thought of Yang Jici, Lin Xin and Tan Xuan who were fused by the spider at that time, but Academician Yang's fusion failed.
This giant cockroach is most likely the product of failed fusion, just like Academician Yang.
Since she was able to regain her sanity by counseling Academician Yang at that time, perhaps she could do the same with this giant cockroach.
She made up her mind and loudly told her thoughts to her sentinels.
"I've been in a situation like this before, and I may have a way to bring him back to his senses."
