Chapter 30: The Hornet's Nest

Everyone didn't care about the bird meat all over the ground, and after carefully fixing An Cheng, they prepared to continue their journey.

At this point, almost halfway through the journey, it doesn't make much difference whether you walk forward or back to the dormitory. Du Jiujiu gritted his teeth and said to a few people: "Let's continue to move forward, otherwise the efforts just now will be in vain." ”

The others all nodded in agreement, going to the cafeteria was their first step into this world, and if they retreated here, then what about the future.

Along the way, Wei Qingqing constantly used his abilities to control the blood in An Cheng's body from flowing out, and after a while, An Cheng's wound had been coagulated by blood, and even without Wei Qingqing's help, it no longer bleed.

Du Jiujiu took over the previous work of An Cheng and wheeled up the long knife to open the way for everyone. Although her long knife was not so convenient to cut grass, it was better because she had the strength to cut a path in the giant grass.

Fortunately, the luck of the few of them was not bad, and they didn't encounter any powerful mutant creatures in the second half of the way.

When the sun shone vertically on them, Du Jiujiu finally saw the small white building that was covered by layers of bushes.

After so many days, Du Jiujiu no longer had expectations for the fact that there was still a lot of food in the cafeteria, but even if he could only get some seasoning, it was good. They don't know how long their life in the wild will last, they can live without food, they can't live without salt.

The destination was in front of him, Du Jiujiu picked up the long knife and was about to cut it at the bush, but was stopped by Xiaowen's anxious shout.

"Sister Jiujiu, don't do it yet, something is wrong here!" After Xiaowen finished speaking, she closed her eyes and concentrated on perceiving.

"There should be hundreds of ...... hidden in there. No, thousands of bugs! It looks like it's supposed to be a hornet, and most of it has energy in its body! After a moment, Xiaowen opened her eyes, full of fear and worry.

The threat of ordinary hornets to humans is already not to be underestimated, let alone such a large number of mutated wasps.

Thanks to Xiaowen's mental power detection, Du Jiujiu was able to stop in time at a critical moment. If she had just cut down a hornet's nest in the bushes, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Du Jiujiu was also very scared when he thought about it now, and the cold sweat had already wet his back. Although they avoided danger for the time being, they couldn't help but make trouble.

Several of them were unwilling to leave like this, and An Cheng's physical condition at this time couldn't help but run around again.

But now, although the destination is in front of you, it is blocked by these mutant hornets and cannot enter. Du Jiujiu has all the strength, but there is nothing he can do to deal with this small and large number of insects.

"Let me try." At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind Du Jiujiu. It was Hu Xiaoyun who spoke, she was a little embarrassed at this time, running all the way, so that she had no time to take care of the red hair that had just been blown by the wind lifted by the wings of the big bird, and the originally elegant purple sweatpants were also covered with An Cheng's bloodstains.

"Sister Xiaoyun, these hornets should be highly poisonous, are you sure to kill them all?" Du Jiujiu looked at Hu Xiaoyun's gaze with some hesitation, she knew that Hu Xiaoyun's fire ability was the nemesis of these insects, but if she wanted to kill all these thousands of wasps, it would still be very difficult.

"Well, I've seen others pick hornet's nests before, although this one is mutated, but it should be the same, and the chance of success is still relatively large. After a while, you can retreat farther away, even if this method doesn't work, it's no problem for me to protect myself. ”

Seeing that she insisted, Du Jiujiu no longer objected, picked up An Cheng, and went around to the side of the bushes with several other people to hide.

Seeing that they were hidden, Hu Xiaoyun glanced around the surroundings and broke off a few branches from a slightly low tree. After the rain, the branches and buds became more and more delicate in the steamy woods, and Hu Xiaoyun baked the flames with his fingertips for a moment, and the branches ignited a thick smoke.

Hu Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction, and the next moment, the flames in his hand burst out, setting fire to all the branches of several trees, and throwing them into the bushes impartially. Then, Hu Xiaoyun hid behind a tree and waited quietly.

As the smoke filled the thickened air, a dense "buzzing" sound began to penetrate the bushes, followed by a large patch of black pressed wasps surging out of the bushes and hovering in the air.

Five minutes...... Ten minutes...... The hornet had no intention of leaving, and Hu Xiaoyun, who was waiting behind the tree, began to be a little anxious. Just now, two hornets that had broken away from the group flew behind the tree where she was hiding, and fortunately they were instantly burned to death by the flames that popped out of her fingertips. However, if the swarm does not leave, it is only a matter of time before she is discovered.

Just as she was fidgeting and desperately thinking of a countermeasure, the sound of something falling to the ground suddenly came from the grass not far away. The sound seemed to drop a pebble on the calm surface of the lake, causing a commotion in the bee colony.

If Hu Xiaoyun poked his head out at this time, he would be able to see what shapes those wasps were drawing regularly in the air, just like intelligent creatures communicating. After a few moments, they seemed to have made a decision, and flew in the direction from which the sound came from.

Hu Xiaoyun waited behind the tree for a while, and after confirming that all the wasps had flown away, he turned around and walked over to the bushes.

Small fires from tree branches are not much of a threat to this large area of wet bush. The swarm of bees could fly back at any time, Hu Xiaoyun didn't dare to delay, and immediately used the few energy in his body, all of which converged into a huge fireball and threw it into the bushes.

With a crackling sound, under the burning of the high-temperature flames, the bushes soon ignited a raging fire, and for a while the smoke was everywhere, and even if the bee colony rushed back at this time, there was no way to get closer.

In a short time, the bushes in front of the cafeteria and the beehives hidden inside were all burned down. Seeing this, Du Jiujiu hugged An Cheng, who was still unconscious, and walked out of the hideout. Ignoring the residual heat of the flames on the ground, several people walked to the door of the building.

As expected, the iron lock on the door of the cafeteria had been cut, and it seemed that someone had already visited. Du Jiujiu tried to push the door, but there was a "creaking" sound from the other side of the door, as if someone was blocking the door with a heavy object.

This surprised Du Jiujiu and the others, no one could have imagined that there were still people living in this nest of poisonous wasps.

The blocked door was difficult for Du Jiujiu, only to see her push hard, and with the piercing friction sound, the door was slowly pushed open a crack.

Everyone didn't wait for Du Jiujiu to urge, and squeezed in one after another. After Du Jiujiu settled An Cheng, he blocked the gate again to prevent the hornets that had been deceived from flying back again.
