Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 441 The Unexpected First Victim

When the two-story-high giant insect lowered its body little by little, Lin Sanjiu felt that this sight was enough to make him have nightmares for several days afterward as the object it was staring at.

This time, No. 43 ran out of conversation opportunities before her; seeing that her own time was coming to an end—but she knew very well in her heart that none of what she said just now was heard by this pest.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the worm could "smell" things, but when it stretched out a furry leg and waved it next to her ear, she did hear the flat person on the worm. In the face, there was a sudden inhalation sound.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what No. 46 said." The pest withdrew 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 the two thin legs in front of the "chest". "After all, you are the first bud I bitten. I thought the relationship between us was very special."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at it with an ugly face, and his throat became dry one after another: "...you want me to die, so I have to find a way not to die. What's so strange?"

"Oh—my lady, you misunderstood." Unexpectedly, the pest suddenly laughed again: "I'm not sad that you lied to me, but I'm sad that a beautiful lady like you will soon disappear from this farm Woolen cloth."

As soon as these words hit her ears, Lin Sanjiu's body reacted to the current situation one step earlier than her brain, and jumped backwards with a kick; however, the "biting" of pests is absolutely unavoidable—— Just hearing a "chi la", her sleeves had been torn off heavily, and when the huge body of the pest rushed past, it fluttered to the ground.

Then, all the eyes staring in this direction could see clearly: the shadow belonging to the pest was actually pierced into her arm.

No. 43 immediately uttered a scream—seeing the first victim appeared in the germination period, even the group of No. 46 couldn't think of being happy at this time, and the sound of gasping air rang out one after another; Then, when Lin Sanjiu's body hit the ground heavily, it hit everyone's hearts so dull.

"Well……"

The vermin stood up straight, its eyes fell on the land under the fence, and it stared at Lin Sanjiu for a while.

"...What else does it do?" No. 48 asked in a daze, the voice was so loud that even No. 43 on the other bridge could clearly hear it.

The numerous slender legs of the pest 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 erected their ears to listen to it Suddenly, its small building-like body shook a few times.

Without warning, the pests then slowly fell backwards—there was a loud bang, and yellow dust suddenly rose in midair; Kai——The soil bridge shook violently, as if it was about to crack due to the weight. No. 43, who had just escaped from the vermin, staggered for a while, and finally fell down.

"Ah, the vermin is dead."

Before the group of No. 46 understood what happened, Harry's voice revealed the answer in the air.

"...I didn't expect that, you guys did a good job." He praised briskly, "Wait for me, I'll deal with this situation, go back as soon as you go."

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

"The vermin is dead?" No. 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 protruding from the fence, and countless furry feet trembled unceasingly. The huge size occupied most of the earth bridge, which made people wonder what was on the bridge. The earthen fence hadn't cracked yet.

From that bridge, there was no response from No. 43 for several minutes; No. 46 called out several times again. At this time, from the other side of the earth bridge, an arm suddenly stretched out and "snaked" to catch it. fence.

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

"Did I guess wrong? You...you really sprayed yourself with pesticides?" 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 out of breath, "...Harry said that the consequences of spraying pesticides are worse than being bitten by insects. I don't want to risk my life."

Another face appeared from under the fence, it was No. 43—he looked around and hurried over to help Lin Sanjiu up.

"Hey, it's not important." Unexpectedly, she shook her head repeatedly to stop him, her body was still hanging on the fence, and she hung down the arm that was bitten just now: "Help me untie it quickly, it's too disgusting gone."

untie?untie what?
When everyone on No. 46 was still puzzled, No. 43 responded immediately, and then stretched out his hand to Lin Sanjiu's arm—on her arm, it was completely white and completely gone. The blood-red pattern left by the insect bite before.

...No, not right.If you look closely, the color of her arms—and the skin color of her head, face, and back of her hands are obviously not the same color——

No. 43 grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist with one hand, and with a violent force, a horn was lifted from there—the horn was getting bigger and bigger, and then a thick piece of fat white skin was peeled off from her arm As soon as the human skin was uncovered, it immediately exposed the skin of Lin Sanjiu's own arm underneath, which was covered with dried body fluids and blood.

"Throw it away quickly," Lin Sanjiu frowned, with an extremely uncomfortable expression on his face: "...I don't want to see human skin again in my life."

"Human, human skin?" No. 46 also understood everything at this time, "You sprayed pesticide on human skin?"

"Where did you get the ready-made human skin?" Lin Sanjiu snorted, "...wasn't it peeled off from the corpse?"

Corpse—?
No. 46 just frowned, only to hear the tall woman on the opposite side smile again: "You don't know me, I don't have many valuable things on me, and I often lack this or that... There is only one thing I never No shortage, that is the corpse."

While speaking, she glanced at No. 45: "Speaking of which, I was inspired by you to come up with the idea of ​​skinning."

No. 45 bit his lip, and made no sound with a gloomy face.

"That, that is to say, you sprayed pesticide on the corpse, then peeled off the skin of the corpse, and wrapped it around the place where the bugs would bite every time?" No. 48 seemed to forget that they were still hostile a few minutes ago , asked stammeringly.

"Don't explain the process so clearly," Lin Sanjiu rubbed his arm with his sleeve unhappily, "... I have recalled all the bad memories. But, it's true, that's right. Human skin We just wrapped it up 10 minutes before the bug came, so I changed into long-sleeved clothes a long time ago in order to cover up this plan."

"Then how do you know the vermin is going to bite you and not number 43?"

"He also has a piece on his arm!" Lin Sanjiu glanced at No. 48 with a foolish expression: "Although Fei Da is a degenerate, he also has two arms."

No. 48 closed his mouth in embarrassment, and glanced at No. 46 quietly.On the latter's face, he couldn't tell what kind of expression it was at this time—he thought he was in a situation where two groups were fighting each other, so he tried every possible means; But it was solved by the other party with such a simple method.

No. 46's face turned red and then pale, and he opened his lips several times, but he didn't make a sound for a long time; Lin Sanjiu looked at him with a smile, unwilling to relax at all.Fortunately, at this time, the voice of No. 43 promptly resolved some embarrassment for him: "... Now that the bug is dead, is the germination period over?"

Naturally, no one but Harry could answer this question.

For some reason, No. 43 asked a few more times, and Harry, who didn't know what he was doing just now, hurriedly spoke up.

"I'm back, I'm back... Oh, you asked what to do next? That's true," he smiled with a sigh, "Whether there are pests or not, it doesn't 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 nutrition as possible!"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

This result, it can be said that even Lin Sanjiu did not expect it - she thought that the pests were dead, and the challenge of the germination period would naturally end; Three days is indeed a good thing.

"Um...that..."

From the bridge where the No. 46 group was located, the hesitant voice of No. 45 suddenly came.Ever since she found out that her identity had already been known by everyone, she seldom spoke, and this was the first time she opened her mouth today: "I said, is there any change in that bug's body?"

Reminded by her words, everyone immediately turned their attention to the huge insect corpse.

Just now, there was clearly a large abdomen exposed above the fence, but Lin Sanjiu vaguely felt that the height of the abdomen had become a little lower.She lowered her head to look at the land, but most of it was covered by the bug's oily limbs and hairy thin feet. In addition, the dust was splashed everywhere, and she couldn't figure out what had changed for a while.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't told you yet," Harry seemed to have just remembered, "Although plants in the natural world will be damaged by insects, they will also receive a series of benefits brought by insects. After the insects die After being killed, the insect corpses are decomposed by microorganisms, the pesticides are filtered by the soil, and finally the insects are turned into rich nutrients in the soil, which in turn will be used as energy to replenish and nourish your physical strength—you two, number 43 and number 49, should also be Are you starting to feel something?"

Lin Sanjiu blinked, her expression was a bit dazed——she took a closer look, and finally confirmed that the huge insect corpse was slowly sinking like a melted ice cream; at the same time, The soil under her feet became warmer and warmer, as if countless streams of heat were rushing from her feet into her blood vessels.

Looking down, the dry and skinny dark yellow skin on her feet due to not eating for a long time is slowly plumping up at a speed visible to the naked eye; where the warm current passes, the raised and entangled veins are gradually smoothed away, Starting from her toes and working her way up, her skin finally regained its honey-like color.

"I feel that my physical strength has come back a bit," No. 43 also looked at his hands in surprise, and clenched his fists: "I'm getting a little bit stronger!"

Looking at Lin Sanjiu's face, he seemed to have remembered something, and smiled wryly: "...Indeed, looking at the dead body of that bug is indeed a bit disgusting... 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, only their side has nutrition!"

"...The worms died on that dirt bridge, so of course they can only moisten the land over there." Harry responded naturally.

If Lin Sanjiu hadn't felt faintly nauseated when he remembered that his energy came from the corpses of pests, Lin Sanjiu really wanted to laugh at them three times—especially when No. 46 sat back on the dirt bridge angrily. It made her very happy.

It took two full days for the dead insects to completely melt into the soil.When it completely disappeared from the earth bridge, Lin Sanjiu felt that she was about to return to the state of her heyday—not only her physical strength, but she could clearly feel her consciousness and potential value , all had a significant rise; but another consequence of this was that her hallucinations were gradually disappearing.

With the last day of germination remaining, No. 43 walked up to her side and sat down.

"I know it myself, if it wasn't for you this time," he didn't know when he rewrapped the turban, with sincere gratitude on his face. "I'm afraid I don't even have any bones left. No matter what happens next during the germination period, don't worry, I will definitely be by your side—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his face disappeared.

After covering No. 43's head in one bite, an evergreen worm several times larger than a human head replaced his original head.

Lin Sanjiu jumped up suddenly, raised his hand, and the [High Frequency Particle Oscillating Cutting Knife] slid off the caterpillar as if oiled; he ignored the meaningless attacks around him, and the caterpillar " Guji, Guji" completely swallowed the body of No. 43 who was still struggling.

"Thank you, little girl," Changqing Chong stared at Lin Sanjiu, who was still rushing up and attacking it madly, with a pair of toy-like dull eyes: "...that talking beetle is mine. Natural enemy, now that it's dead, I can finally come out and eat the shoots - I'm different from it, I like to eat a whole tree at a time."

The next thought that popped up in Lin Sanjiu's mind involuntarily caused her to suddenly have a deep loathing for herself.

... Fortunately, the germination period is coming to an end.

　Regardless of what you say, I love the way this sprouting period ended!It's that willful.
