Darkness Rises

Chapter 188 Killing the Swarm

This is simply a doomsday scene.

The swarm of insects that covered the sky and the sun emitted a disturbing buzzing sound. It should have been just the subtle sound of tiny insects flapping their wings, but due to the excessively large number, this sound seemed like that. deafening.

Originally, the night in Hell's Kitchen should be bright, although not as bright and bright as Fifth Avenue or Midtown.

But after all, this is an important part of Manhattan. Countless New Yorkers who have nothing to do after get off work, even those energetic gangsters, will come here to release hormones and sway their youth.

So the night in Hell's Kitchen is still brightly lit and full of people's voices in the past. Countless people shuttle through the streets and alleys, doing things that make them happy.

But all of this disappeared tonight.

The street lights on the street are still on, and the colorful signs of the bar next to it are still trying to show their existence.

But all of this, in the eyes of Ai Wen and the others, they can't see anything.

Just because the overwhelming, even majestic and turbulent swarm of insects completely blocked these rays of light, just like the dark clouds that were about to crush the city, covering the sky and covering the sun, even any ray of light could not penetrate the thick of terrible swarms.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Weiss and Jeffrey, the two new mutants who joined the team, couldn't bear it at first. They had goose bumps all over their bodies, shivered from the chill, and couldn't help but want to move on. shrink.

At this time, Clarice has also walked out of the space door, and the passage leading to the quiet world on the other side has been erased by her.

To put it simply, this small group of more than ten people has been surrounded by swarms of insects from front, back, left, and right.

"It's these disgusting things that killed us all!"

Hedgehog was the first to open his mouth with a ferocious expression. Looking at these swarms of plague-spreading insects, he couldn't help but think of the terrible and desperate scenes that happened in the nightclub before, and couldn't help cursing.

The night girl also said: "Boss, don't underestimate the danger of these bugs.

Relying on my ability, I saw the bastard who could control them before I died. As long as these bugs gather together, they can even empty a person's internal organs in a short time. That feeling..."

The night girl shuddered involuntarily. She might never forget the feeling of her internal organs being gnawed crazily before she died.

"Is that the person you're talking about?"

Following Aiwen's words, a burst of red light suddenly spewed out, like a magnificent passage, crowding out all the swarms along the way, until a black figure was seen in the densely packed rear.

As the swarms were driven away by the force of reality, the lights of the street lamps could finally illuminate there.

It was a strange man with a strange bun, wearing a black kimono and clogs. When he turned his head, everyone except Aiwen couldn't help but tremble.

Not to mention the dead-like pale face of the other party, but the mouth that was torn to the base of the ear, between opening and closing, a large number of bugs flew out of it.

This scene really challenged everyone's aesthetic bottom line, and it was disgusting enough.

As if feeling his ugly face exposed to others, this mutant nicknamed "Plague" suddenly opened his mouth wide again, letting out a terrifying whistling sound.

A large number of bugs gushed out from his mouth, and at the same time, the swarm of bugs that looked like dark clouds in the sky also began to stir on a large scale, rushing towards the seats where the few people were sitting.

Aiwen withdrew his power of reality, and the terrifying figure was hidden behind the swarm again.

"Give you a chance for revenge, go for it!"

Hearing Aiwen's words, a group of mutants, large and small, were taken aback for a moment, and then they immediately realized that no one was willing to admit cowardice under the eyes of the boss.

Even the most incompetent hedgehog has the hedgehog needles on his head, and he is about to rush upwards with his neck stuck.

But he was immediately grabbed by the collar of the night walker, and cursed: "If you want to die, you have to change the way, you can't even survive two seconds if you go up like this, arc light!"

"boom!"

The arc light on the side had already reacted at this time, and stood in front of the two of them first. Following her loud shout, her hands clapped vigorously in front of her chest, and a shock wave invisible to the naked eye was swiftly launched forward.

Everyone could see that, as if they were hit by some kind of force, a large number of bugs along the way fell to the ground one after another under the attack of the shock wave.

It is impossible for these small bugs carrying viruses to withstand the power of the arc shock wave.

But again, there are too many of them, and these things were bred from the corpses of countless Hell's Kitchen residents.

The passage opened by the arc shock wave was filled by more insect swarms in a blink of an eye, and they continued to frantically rush towards everyone.

But Arc Light is not the only person with powerful abilities here.

Russell, who was stimulated before and depressed, finally had a chance to vent his anger in a legitimate way, so how could he not seize it.

In an instant, a larger and more blazing flame cluster emerged from his hands than in the nightclub, and as he shouted angrily, they were thrown into the sky like fire bombs one after another.

It has to be said that the swarm of these tiny beetles is the perfect combustion accelerant.

As clusters of flames exploded among them, the swarm of bugs all over the sky instantly fell into violent burning.

Under Russell's crazy bombardment, these swarms can be said to have burned half of the sky.

Polaris looked a little helplessly at Russell, who was obviously depressed because of her, and who was venting madly, really didn't know what to say.

He could only use his ability to randomly pinch the cars on the side of the street a few times to make a few large iron plates, so as to prevent the corpses of the burning insects from falling on their heads.

In addition, the ability of "Eclipse" Marcus is also very effective in dealing with these swarms.

He has already discovered that these bugs have phototaxis, otherwise they would not have surrounded the street lamps and the signs of the shops on the street.

Suddenly, a semicircular shield of light was erected within two meters around his body.

That intense light lured countless bugs, and they rushed towards him like moths flying towards a flame.

But what these bugs don't know is that the temperature of this light shield is not low, which is not comparable to that of the street lamps on the street.

When they bumped into the shield of light, the sound of fierce burning "sizzling" sounded continuously, and the swarm of insects were constantly being burned by the hot light.

With the cooperation of several mutants, the swarms that brought plagues to the world are rapidly decreasing.
