4.38 million unexpectedly the first victim

When the giant insect that was two stories tall lowered its body little by little, as the object of its targeting, Lin Sanjiu felt that this scene was enough to make him have nightmares for several days afterwards.

This time, Number 43 had used up the conversation before she did; Seeing that her time was now coming to an end—she knew very well in her heart that not a word of what she had just said had been heard by this pest.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the insect could "smell" anything, but when it stretched out a furry foot and waved it like a fan in her ear, she did hear a sharp inhalation sound from the flat face above the insect.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what No. 46 said." The pest retracted his limbs and rubbed them back and forth for a while, his tone was very regretful: "...... Ah, I didn't expect you to come up with such a solution in order to avoid contact with me. ”

"I'm so sad." The pest said as he held his two thin feet in front of his chest. "After all, you were the first sprout I bitten, and I thought our relationship was very special."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at it with an ugly face, and his throat and eyes were dry for a while: "...... If you want me to die, I'll have to find a way not to die. What's so strange? ”

"Oh, my miss, you're mistaken." Unexpectedly, the pest suddenly laughed again: "I'm not sad that you lied to me, but sad that a beautiful young lady like you is about to disappear from this farm." ”

As soon as this sentence entered her ears, Lin Sanjiu's body reacted to the current situation one step ahead of her brain. He jumped backwards with a kick on his feet; However, the "bite" of the pest is absolutely unavoidable - just listen to the "snort", her sleeve has been torn down heavily, and when the huge body of the pest pounces, it flutters to the ground.

Next, all eyes staring in this direction saw clearly: the shadow of the pest, which was firmly rooted in her arm.

No. 43 immediately let out an exclamation - seeing that the first victim appeared in the germination stage, even the group on No. 46 couldn't remember to be happy at this time, and the sound of gasping cold air rang out one after another; Immediately afterwards, when Lin Sanjiu's body slammed into the ground, it was so dull that it crashed straight into everyone's hearts.

"Hmm......"

The pest straightened up. Eyes fell on the land under the fence. Stared at Lin Sanjiu for a while.

“…… What else is it going to do? No. 48 asked in a daze, so loud that he could hear No. 43 on the other bridge.

The pest's countless thin feet swayed a few times and opened their mouths, as if to say something—just as everyone, including No. 47, who had just woken up. All stretched their necks. When you stand up to hear it. I saw that its small building-like body suddenly shook a few times.

Without warning, the pest slowly fell backwards - there was a loud "bang", and yellow dust suddenly rose in mid-air; For a time, soil particles, dust. Choked so much that he couldn't even open his mouth - the earth bridge shook violently, as if it was about to crack because it couldn't bear the weight, and No. 43, who had just escaped from the pest, stumbled and finally fell.

"Ah, the pest is dead."

Before Group 46 could understand what had happened, Harry's voice revealed the answer in the air.

“…… I can't believe it, you're doing a good job. He complimented briskly, "Wait for me, I'll take care of the situation, and I'll go back." ”

Immediately, Harry's voice disappeared again, leaving only a confused crowd.

"The pest is dead?" Number 46 was the first to call out in the direction of another bridge, "What's going on?" ”

From where he was, he could still see most of the worm's belly peeking out from the top of the fence, and countless hairy and thin feet were constantly trembling, and the huge volume occupied most of the earthen bridge, which made people wonder that the earthen fence on the bridge had not yet broken.

From that bridge, there was no response from Number 43 for several minutes; No. 46 shouted several times in a row, and at this time, from the other end of the earthen bridge, suddenly stretched out an arm and "snapped" to the fence.

…… When Lin Sanjiu's sweaty and pale face gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Am I wrong? You...... Did you really spray pesticides on yourself? After a long while, No. 46 asked in a daze. That's not right...... No, it doesn't make sense! ”

"I'm not that stupid," Lin Sanjiu replied panting, "...... Harry said that the consequences of spraying pesticides are worse than being bitten by bugs, and I don't want to risk my life. ”

Another face emerged from under the fence, it was No. 43 - he looked left and right, and hurriedly tried to help Lin Sanjiu up.

"Hey, this isn't important," she didn't expect her to shake her head again and again to stop him, her body was still hanging on the fence, and she hung down the arm that was bitten just now: "You hurry up and help me untie it, it's really disgusting." ”

Untie? Unraveling what?

When the group of people on No. 46 were still puzzled, they saw that No. 43 immediately responded, and then stretched out his hand to Lin Sanjiu's arm - on her arm, it was white and pure at this time, completely devoid of the blood red pattern left by the previous insect bite.

…… No, it's not. If you look closely, the color of her arms—the color of her head, face, and the backs of her hands, is obviously not the same color—

No. 43 grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist with one hand, and with a sharp effort, he actually lifted a horn from there—the horn was getting bigger and bigger, and then he actually peeled off a thick piece of fat white skin from her arm; As soon as the human skin was revealed, the skin of the arm that originally belonged to Lin Sanjiu was immediately revealed, which was covered with dried body fluids and blood.

"Throw it away," Lin Sanjiu frowned tightly, looking extremely uncomfortable: "...... I don't want to see human skin again in my life. ”

"People, human skins?" No. 46 also understood it all at this time, "You sprayed pesticides on human skin?" ”

"Where did you get the skin?" Lin Sanjiu snorted, "...... Isn't it peeled off the corpse? ”

Corpse ——?

No. 46 just frowned, only to hear the tall woman on the other side laugh again: "You don't know me, I don't have many valuable things on me, and I often lack this and that...... There was only one thing I never lacked, and that was corpses. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Number 45: "Speaking of which, I was inspired by you to come up with the idea of skinning. ”

Number 45 bit his lip and remained silent with a gloomy expression.

"Also、That is. You sprayed pesticides on the corpses. Then he peeled off the skin of the corpse and wrapped it around the place where the insect would bite every time? Number 48 stammered, as if he had forgotten that they were still hostile a few minutes earlier.

"Don't explain the process so clearly," Lin Sanjiu rubbed his arm with his sleeve unhappily. “…… Bad memories are all in my mind. Still. That's exactly what happened, yes. The human skin was wrapped up ten minutes before the bugs came. In order to cover up this plan, I changed into long-sleeved clothes a long time ago. ”

"Then how do you know that a pest will bite you, and not number 43?"

"He's got a piece on his arm too!" Lin Sanjiu glanced at No. 48 with an expression of looking at a fool: "Although Feida is a degenerate seed. But they also have two arms. ”

Number 48 closed his mouth in embarrassment and quietly glanced at number 46. The latter's face was not at this time indescribable—he thought he was in a situation of two groups of wars, and he had tried everything he could; As a result, I didn't expect that in the end, the two groups of common enemies were solved by the other side in such a simple way-

No. 46's face was red and white, his lips opened several times, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time; Lin Sanjiu looked at him with a smile, refusing to relax at all. Fortunately, at this time, the inquiry voice of No. 43 resolved some embarrassment for him in time: "...... Now that the bugs are dead, is the germination period over? ”

Naturally, no one but Harry could answer this question.

Somehow, No. 43 asked a few 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's next? "Really," he sighed, laughing, "the presence or absence of pests does not affect the time it takes for you to germinate!" There are still three days left in your germination period, so make good use of these few days and absorb as many 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 thought that the pest was dead, and the challenge of germination would naturally end when it was completed; But on second thought, it would be a good thing if I could really recover and recuperate for three days in peace.

"Hmm...... That ......"

From the bridge where the No. 46 group was located, the voice of No. 45 suddenly came with a little hesitation. Since she found out that her identity had already been known to everyone, she rarely spoke, and this was the first time she opened her mouth today: "I said, has the corpse of that bug changed somewhat?" ”

As soon as she was reminded of this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the huge insect corpse.

Just now, there was obviously a large area of the abdomen exposed on the fence, but I didn't know if it was his own illusion, Lin Sanjiu vaguely felt that the height of the worm's abdomen had become a little lower. She looked down at the land, but it was mostly obscured by the insect's shiny limbs and hairy feet, and with dust splattered everywhere, she couldn't figure out what had changed.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you yet," Harry seemed to remember, "that plants in nature are susceptible to insects, but they are also succumbed to a host of benefits from insects. Of course, on this farm, you don't have seeds for the worms to spread; Correspondingly, after the insects die, the insect corpses are decomposed by microorganisms, pesticides are filtered by the soil, and finally the insects turn into rich nutrients in the soil, which in turn will be used as energy to replenish and nourish your physical strength - the two of you on the 43rd and 49th, you should be starting to feel a little by now, right? ”

Lin Sanjiu blinked, her expression still a little stunned—she looked at it more closely, and finally determined that the huge insect corpse was slowly sinking like melted ice cream; At the same time, the soil beneath her feet was getting warmer and warmer, as if countless thin streams of heat were rushing from her feet into the veins.

Looking down, the dull yellow skin on her feet, which had been dry and thin because she had not eaten for a long time, was slowly plumping up at a speed visible to the naked eye; Where the warm current passed, the bulging tendons were gradually smoothed out, starting from her toes and working her way up, and her skin finally regained its honey-like color.

"I feel like my strength has come back," No. 43 also looked at his hands in surprise and clenched his fists: "It's getting a little stronger!" ”

Looking at Lin Sanjiu's face, he seemed to remember something, and smiled bitterly: "...... Indeed, it is indeed a little disgusting to look at the dead body of that bug...... Don't think 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 it only their side that is nutritious!" ”

“…… The bugs died on that earthen bridge, and of course they could only nourish the land over there. Harry replied as a matter of course.

If it weren't for the faint feeling of disgust at the thought that her energy came from the corpses of pests, Lin Sanjiu would have wanted to laugh at them three times—especially the way No. 46 sat back on the earthen bridge in a frustrated manner, which made her extremely happy.

It took two days for the carcass of the pest to completely melt into the soil. When it completely disappeared from the earthen bridge, Lin Sanjiu felt that she was almost about to return to the state of her heyday—not only her physical strength, but she could clearly feel that her consciousness and potential value had increased significantly; But another consequence of this is that her hallucinations are gradually disappearing.

With the last day of germination remaining, Number 43 gently walked over to her and sat down.

"I know for myself that this time if it weren't for you," he said, putting his turban back on, his face filled with sincere gratitude. "I'm afraid I won't even have any bones left. No matter what happens next during germination, don't worry, I'll be with you—"

Before he could finish his words, his face vanished.

After enveloping No. 43's head in one bite, an evergreen worm several laps larger than a human head took his place.

Lin Sanjiu jumped up suddenly, and with a wave of his hand, the [High-Frequency Particle Shock Cutting Knife] that was struck out slid off the green worm's body as if it had been smeared with oil; Ignoring the senseless attacks around him, the evergreen worm swallowed the body of No. 43, which was still struggling, completely.

"Thank you, little girl," the evergreen worm's eyes were as dull as toys, staring at Lin Sanjiu, who was still rushing up and attacking it like crazy: "...... The talkative beetle was my natural enemy, and now that it's dead, I can finally come out and eat the sprouts—unlike him, I like to eat whole trees at a time. ”

The next thought that involuntarily floated from Lin Sanjiu's heart made her suddenly have a deep dislike for herself.

…… Fortunately, the germination period is coming to an end. (To be continued.) )

PS: Whatever you guys say, I love the way this germination period ends! It's so capricious.
