I have been sleeping for 500 years and I opened a supermarket in the end times

Summer nights come especially slowly.

Ji Yan took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to inspect the area around the Chenfeng base.

A swarm of insects was raging inside the base, but outside the base it was deserted. Occasionally a skinny crow would fly by, making an unpleasant "wow wow" sound.

Ji Yan landed on the ground, put away the nuclear-powered bicycle, and walked casually to a somewhat collapsed and dilapidated building.

It's strange to say, it was bright dusk outside, but it was pitch black inside without a single light.

The door of the gray building was opened by Ji Yan, like a huge black monster's mouth, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

Ji Yan thought about it and followed his heart and did not go in. Instead, he took out the laser sword, waved it on the outer wall of the building a few times, and chose a suitable place to open a window to let in some light.

"Pfft-"

The pale silk liquid connected to the broken wall and hung down softly.

Ji Yan saw neatly arranged rows of light blue human-head-sized insect eggs covered with layers of silk nets.

Ji Yan slapped her forehead lightly. How could she be so unlucky to have found the wrong place?

Unexpectedly, these bugs have begun to reproduce themselves.

Ji Yan was in deep thought.

Does this mean that insect eggs won’t fall when it rains in the future?

No, no, no, stay alert first.

She didn't want to end up being eaten alive by bugs.

Ji Yan took a few steps back and looked left and right.

The building is well located, with safe distances from the front, back, left and right sides. Even if a fire breaks out, it will not spread to other places.

After making up her mind, Ji Yan took out a lighter, bent down, tore off a piece of her trouser leg, lit the strip of cloth and threw it in through the torn hole.

"wing——"

A shrill scream accompanied by a "puff" sound rang out in the raging fire.

Ji Yan immediately moved away from the building the second the shouting sounded.

And in the next second, a burning limb stretched out from the broken hole, stuck on the wall next to it, and drove the body to continue climbing forward.

The tiny entrance to the cave compared to the creature inside blocked the appearance of its body and seemed to have stuck it in the cave.

Ji Yan moved closer, squatted on the ground, and looked inside through the door.

A pair of emerald green compound eyes as big as millstones happened to poke out from the broken hole, staring down at Ji Yan condescendingly.

It is a new type of mutant insect that has never been seen before.

Ji Yan looked up and met its gaze, then waved and said hello: "Hello!"

He lowered his head again and continued to look inside through the gate.

Its body is divided into three parts: head, thorax and abdomen.

There are two tentacles with irregular protrusions on the inverted triangle head, a pair of emerald green compound eyes occupy half of the space on the head, and the orange-yellow mouthparts are long and slender, like a soft rubber hose, tough enough to be bent and pressed under the body.

On the chest covered with dark yellow patterns, there are three pairs of legs covered with fine hair on the lower side, and two pairs of bright and colorful wings with intricate stripes on the upper side, which are about two or three times the size of the insect body.

The bulky wings drooped on the ground, looking more like a burden than an organ that could be used for flying.

There were circles of yellow and black ring-shaped patterns on the bulging belly. The yellow ring-shaped patterns emitted a faint glow in the dim space.

Ji Yan squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, and finally he could see the true appearance of the insect clearly.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk—” She couldn’t help but sigh, “This thing is a bit stupid. Why did it evolve two pairs of large wings that seem useless? They are useless and they get in the way.”

She looked at the giant insect struggling hard. It was clearly squeezing the door and the surrounding walls to the point of breaking them. Half of its head popped out, but it was blocked by its two pairs of heavy wings and could not get out.

"Oh, right!" Ji Yan clenched her right fist and lightly punched her left palm, "This big insect brother."

She smiled and said, "You are a male, right? Remember that in nature, males have to grow many things that are not conducive to survival in order to find mates."

"It seems that even if you evolve and mutate, you can't be exempted!"

The insect seemed to understand what Ji Yan said, and the half of its head that was stretched out kept twisting.

"Don't struggle." Ji Yan put her hands on her hips, a trace of pity appeared in her moist peach blossom eyes, and she sighed in a pretentious manner, "Either burned to death or crushed to death, poor little bug - at such a young age, it ended its short life like this."

"Please rest in peace!"

After saying this, he pretended to wipe away the tears that had never existed from the corners of his eyes.

The insect visibly stiffened for a moment, then struggled even more violently.

The flames on its body moved as it moved.

Ji Yan glanced at it and originally wanted to check other houses to see if there were cocoons formed by zombies inside.

On second thought, if there are crystal cores in the bodies of zombies, then would there also be crystal cores in the mutated animals and plants?

Although I have killed many mutated bloodworms before, I haven't obtained a penny of crystal core.

But this bug felt different.

Ji Yan touched his chin and blinked at the swaying insect.

It seemed to have intelligence and could understand her sarcasm.

Just wait a while anyway.

Ji Yan estimated the size of the bug and thought it wouldn't burn for long...

The insect didn't know whether it was angered by Ji Yan's words or her eyes, so it simply stopped struggling and stayed stuck at the entrance of the cave without moving.

"Waiting to die?" Ji Yan frowned slightly, put his right hand behind his back, and quietly took out the laser sword.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"You really don't learn the good things, but learn the bad things." Ji Yan accused, "You can even give up your life at will, which is harmful to yourself, others, and society. Is this what your mother taught you?"

A stream of dark yellow liquid spurted out from the tail of the insect, which not only extinguished the flames in the house and on the insect itself, but also emitted a foul insect smell outside.

"..."

Ji Yan jumped onto a higher place without looking back, covered his mouth and nose with his long sleeves, turned on the laser sword with his right hand, and was ready to fight at any time.

The fire in the house gradually died down, and the dark yellow liquid gradually became less. The insect's body shrank by two times compared to before, making its two pairs of wings look even bigger.

It was precisely because of the shrinkage of its body that the insect finally squeezed out of the narrow hole, lying on the ground, supporting its entire body with the three pairs of legs on its chest. Its bright wings hung uselessly on both sides of its body like thousand-pound boulders.

Without these two pairs of wings, insects would not appear slow and dull.

It won't look shaky.

Ji Yan couldn't help but feel worried about it, fearing that its slender feet would be broken.

"wing——"

The insects' cries became less miserable and more ferocious, as if they were declaring war on Ji Yan.

"Wow--"

"remarkably brave."
