Chapter 24: The Stranger

At the main entrance of the gymnasium were the corpses of many students and several bugs, one of which was not yet dead, and its limbs were twitching weakly.

It seems that there has been a fierce battle here not long ago, and the gate has been completely destroyed, and the sound of fighting and cries can be faintly heard inside.

"What a waste." Pandora accused.

Lin Xi skillfully used predators to swallow the corpses of insects into the singularity space, and specially asked Pandora to separate them from a few living insects, and then walked into the gymnasium with the corpses on the ground.

……

A red beetle swoops through the crowd, swinging eight legs as thick as a water pipe, knocking down a bespectacled boy.

The red beetle opened its mouth and let out an excited chirp, and a puddle of blood and saliva flowed down its sharp fangs, landing on the glasses boy's pants.

The boy trembled all over, and his hands frantically pulled the ground to escape, but because his feet were pressed by the giant insects, he had no choice, so he could only watch the red beetle war insect approach the huge head, and he could almost smell the unique fishy smell of the insect.

Then, his waist ached, and a large piece of flesh was gnawed alive. The Red Beetle devoured it in two or three bites, revealing greed, bloodlust and tyranny in a pair of compound eyes, and then opened its huge mouth again and pounced.

This happened in every corner of the gymnasium, with the bone blades on the top of the scythe ladybug's head easily splitting people in half, the spit of the corpse beetle hissing and emitting white smoke from the ground, and several poisonous spiders lying on the walls.

The sound of insects eating and the sound of people crying are mixed together, making Xu Jinduan feel like he is in hell.

Hours ago, everyone was still in the classroom, when suddenly there was a low humming sound from outside, which lasted for nearly a minute before the humming disappeared and was replaced by the sound of something shattering.

Xu Jinduan sat in his seat and saw with his own eyes a crack in the lawn outside the classroom, as if a mirror had been shattered. The gap grew larger and larger, eventually forming a hollow, and a giant insect with a red body and a strange pattern on its carapace emerged from it.

The insect first shook its head and observed its surroundings, and then showed a human expression, a terrifying look mixed with excitement, joy and madness.

A dozen giant bugs of different colors and shapes were continuously drilled out of the spatial cracks, and the fangs were aimed at the frightened students to carry out a bloody slaughter.

Xu Jinduan was pulled by his classmates, and when he came back to his senses, he was already on the way to escape.

The spatial crack was not limited to the one outside her classroom, and at least three or more pitch-black hollows of different sizes were seen along the way, and the giant insects that poured out of them were killing wildly on the campus, and even directly devouring their lives alive.

On the way, many students joined the fleeing troops, but more were chased by the bugs, but fortunately, many bugs killed a person and then lay on the corpse and gnawed on the corpse, as if they had been hungry for many days, which also increased the chances of survival for others.

Xu Jinduan didn't know how she escaped, she ran all the way, and when she came back to her senses, she found that there were few people around her who were familiar. At this time, a wave of people also fled from the opposite side, and a few bugs were also hanging behind them.

"I can't run anymore, there is no safe place in this school anymore." Xu Jinduan understood this, and hid in the gymnasium with many surviving students, locking the gate firmly.

However, the gate was very vulnerable under the fierce attack of the insects, and after a while, several large holes were knocked out, and at the last moment, several people seemed to have suddenly awakened their superpowers, one of them was covered in flames, but he could still move freely, and the other grew hair and became infinitely powerful, and there were even people who could control the insects and let them kill each other.

The appearance of the supernatural temporarily resisted the attack of the insects, but these people were extremely rare, and under the attraction of many fresh flesh and blood, the insects continued to pour into the gymnasium, and everyone could only fight and retreat.

But now, there is no way back. Xu Jinduan leaned against the corner, and a corpse spotted beetle in front of him was eating the corpse under him, and a pair of compound eyes stared at Xu Jinduan.

The corpse beetle is a beetle with a black carapace and yellow spots on its back, which is full of poison and likes to corrode the corpse with saliva before tasting the carrion.

The corpse beetle ate and wiped the corpse under him, and then crawled to Xu Jinduan in the corner.

"Am I going to die? Could this be a dream? Xu Jinduan closed his eyes, but dozens of silver-white lines suddenly appeared in the dark vision.

"What is this?" Xu Jinduan stretched out his hand and touched one of the threads.

The silver-white thread was like a string, making a pleasant sound, and a huge thrust spread outward along Xu Jinduan's body, and fine cracks appeared on the wall behind him, and the corpse spotted beetle in front of him was half a person tall and about two meters long, as if it had been hammered by a huge hammer, and the whole body was directly lifted several meters high and fell far away.

Xu Jinduan opened his eyes and stared blankly at everything that was happening in front of him, unable to believe that he had done it.

"Lin Xi?" Xu Jinduan rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

The corpse beetle flew high into the air, then fell into a large pitch-black claw.

"There's even food delivered to your door!" Pandora was surprised.

The corpse beetle struggled for a moment, and then its body was shattered and devoured.

"Corpse spot beetle, one of the most common combat-type bugs in the insect world, has the ability of 'corpse spot', and the taste is a bit sour, far less delicious than the red beetle war beetle." Pandora commented.

"Wait, don't absorb this ability." Lin Xi said.

Although Lin Xi is not surprised, the ability of 'corpse spots' is really useless, but it will bring certain side effects to himself, such as saliva is full of corrosiveness, and he will even be restrained by the ability of the light system.

Lin Xi noticed Xu Jinduan in the corner, she was the one who lifted the corpse spotted beetle away just now.

"The Stranger?" Lin Xi muttered to himself.

With the appearance of spatial cracks, along with the hideous and bloodthirsty insects, there are also unique energies in the insect world, which subtly change human bodies and stimulate their potential, and some talented people can awaken their abilities in a short time.

Lin Xi looked into the distance, there was not only one person with Xu Jinduan's ability here, the other person was wrapped in flames, and he couldn't even see his appearance clearly, but everywhere he went, the insects fled in the wilderness.

There was also a boy hiding behind a red beetle and seemed to be able to command the bug.
