Ch 134: Hearts United Again
The next day, the Sky Screen Live Stream Room.
As soon as the Live Stream Room opened, netizens from various countries of Blue Star poured in, and with the help of this platform that could translate in real-time, a large amount of information related to the disaster and requests for help were spread in the form of Barrage:
“The residents of the three blocks around Lorentz Avenue have all been wiped out. Brothers nearby, please evacuate as soon as possible.”
“The Champs-Élysées in Paris has been confirmed to be invaded, and tourists are forbidden to approach!”
“Dalston suffered heavy casualties, but the expulsion was successful. Praise the Royal Police!”
“I am now trapped in a shop on Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg. Who can save me? I’ll give them a million!”
……
In addition to disaster reports and requests for help, many netizens also discussed the response to this insect swarm:
“From the current perspective, although the Demon Bugs are powerful, they are not invulnerable. Strong Light can deter them, Flamethrowers can cause large-scale damage, and glue spray is also very useful. In comparison, the larvae the size of rice grains are more difficult to defend against.”
“Larvae are indeed more difficult to defend against. Residential areas cannot be completely Sealed. Even if large-scale and comprehensive disinfection is carried out in advance, because various disinfection drugs rarely work on them, they can still come in, and there’s simply no way to stop them.”
“Those larvae of that size, even if they land on you, you won’t notice at all, and by the time you notice them, it’s already too late. Even if Hidden Force is used quickly to kill them, the internal damage has already been done. And don’t forget, larvae often appear in groups, basically a group to deal with one, and in a hurry, it’s normal for Transformation Force to be besieged to death by larvae.”
“The only good news is that the larvae can immediately turn into Growing form after Devouring flesh and blood. Although it has caused us losses, it has also lost its advantage in terms of size, and instead becomes easier to deal with.”
“Larvae are indeed a big problem, but you can’t underestimate the Growing form either. The insect swarm is constantly suffering losses, but it is also constantly growing. Once they are allowed to grow into the Complete form, or if they are dispersed, that is the real Disaster!”
“Indeed, when the Complete form will grow is unknown for the time being, but the harm of dispersal is already obvious. The old, the weak, the women, and the children have no ability to resist a single Demon Bug. Even Martial Cultivators, those below Transformation Force, are not easy to defeat a Demon Bug, and even if it’s Transformation Force, facing a Demon Bug can easily kill it, but once the number reaches seven or eight, or even a dozen, even Transformation Force will not escape the Calamity.”
“Speaking of dealing with Demon Bugs, 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 seems to have a miraculous effect. Last night, I relied on 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 to kill several Demon Bugs.”
“Compared to 《Black Jade Technique》, 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 can indeed play a considerable role in dealing with Demon Bugs, it can be said to be a natural counter.”
“This is also normal. 《Black Jade Technique》 is strong in strength and defense, but the Demon Bugs’ Physique is not only tough, but their Mouth is also sharper. That little bit of enhanced Physique is not enough in front of them, and it can break through the defense instantly. The speed of the Demon Bugs is also fast, and once you are stabbed, it’s almost over.
Basically, to deal with Demon Bugs, you must control them before they cause damage, and you must not give them a chance to get close. This aspect just hits the advantage area of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, the superb hand speed and agile body techniques are very suitable for dealing with Demon Bugs.”
“Who said before that the agile body techniques and hand speed of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 were useless? The effect is out, isn’t it? Your 《Black Jade Technique》 has great strength and strong defense, but it also depends on who you are comparing it to.
For Demon Bugs, a body strength of 2 and a body strength of 1 are basically no different, and they will still be pierced with a single stab. At this time, body techniques and hand speed have become the most critical factors. If your body techniques are agile and you can escape the encirclement, you can live. If your hand speed is fast and you can kill the Demon Bugs, you can win. Otherwise, there’s no need to say more about the outcome. There are not a few Transformation Force that have been lost worldwide.”
“Just like what was said before, whether it’s 《Black Jade Technique》 or 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, there’s no need to compete with each other to determine the winner. You can practice them together, because they are originally very complementary.
If you practice 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, you can deal with this Disaster, but if you also have the defense and strength of 《Black Jade Technique》, it should be easier to deal with Demon Bugs. Maybe you can kill a Demon Bug that requires two fingers with one finger now.”
“Indeed, in the final analysis, there’s something wrong with the brain that compares the two Cultivation Techniques, and praises one while stepping on the other. Whether it’s 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 or 《Black Jade Technique》, there are always their advantages and disadvantages. Now 《Black Jade Technique》 is indeed not enough in front of the Demon Bugs, but you can’t say it’s weak either. If a monster with violent strength suddenly appears later, maybe you’ll have to rely on it to deal with it.”
“No matter what, now that the Demon Bugs are in front of us, the invasion is like fire. From a practical point of view, we still have to speed up the practice of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, this thing can really save lives now.”
“Saying it is one thing, practicing it is another. 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 is not so easy to master. According to the currently circulating news, you basically have to reach the third layer of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 to exert extremely strong practical effects. You can easily defeat a dozen Demon Bugs head-on, and even if there are hundreds, you can escape smoothly, and even eliminate them through the kite tactic.”
“If I remember correctly, the third layer is not easy to master even for Transformation Force, right?”
“Indeed, it’s not that easy, but it’s not that difficult either. After confirming that the third layer of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 can easily deal with Demon Bugs, many routines for practice summarized by previous people have now been exposed online. With a little effort, you should be able to master it, but the fourth layer is not that easy. Even for Innate, you have to work hard.”
“Hahaha, now you regret practicing it late, right? Our Jiang City Charge Camp has been practicing 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 recently, sharing practice experience with each other. Now about half of the Transformation Force in the group have reached the third layer. Many people have been saved in the Disaster of encountering Demon Bugs because of this Cultivation Technique. We really have to thank Si Yue and Qi God!”
“Hmph, what’s so great about it? I’ll go practice it right away, and I’ll surpass you sooner or later!”
……
Qi Xuan is still moving towards the Zhao Family.
The netizens outside have all started to practice 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》.
Even the armies and police forces of various countries have begun to vigorously promote 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 as a practical Martial Arts to deal with the insect swarm.
And in the active practice under such a huge crisis, many people have made considerable progress, and some Martial Cultivators who were originally stuck in the second layer have also broken through.
On this basis, with the cooperation of various weapons and equipment, as well as the many combat experiences summarized, various countries have begun to launch a counterattack against the Demon Bugs.
Mexico.
The capital, Mexico City.
Fortunately, the capital of Mexico is next to Kima Wakan, the largest slum in Mexico.
Unfortunately, the capital of Mexico is next to Kima Wakan, the largest slum in Mexico.
After the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the insect swarm in Kima Wakan, a large number of Demon Bugs immediately spread from the slum to the capital, immediately bringing unimaginable heavy losses to this world-class city.
As one of the most important economic centers in Latin America, a big city that concentrates about half of the country’s economic activities, Mexico City has almost no resistance to the rampant insect swarm.
Panic-stricken citizens fled everywhere, traffic accidents occurred frequently, traffic was completely paralyzed, and various functional institutions such as schools, hospitals, and police stations were almost all shut down, and the entire city was on the verge of collapse.
Just the first wave of impact caused losses of more than 100 billion US dollars.
But on the other hand, Mexico City’s military equipment is the first in the country, so after the first round of impact, while rescuing and evacuating the citizens, the Mexican authorities immediately organized a counterattack.
The city center, Constitution Square, one of the main disaster areas.
Below the giant national flag with an area of more than 1,700 square meters, there are a large number of shriveled Corpses that did not have time to escape.
Among them are many small vendors wearing Indian ethnic costumes, folk artists, and customers who came here to travel.
Now they are all permanently left here.
At this moment, a large number of military and police forces arrived at the scene by Strong Light irradiation vehicles.
Facing the Demon Bugs that were still on the scene, thousands of UAVs were quickly released, throwing Foam Bombs containing quick-setting foam at the scene.
Amidst the dense explosions, many military and police officers entered the scene with Flamethrowers and other equipment, and began to eliminate the Demon Bugs that were stuck.
During this period, many Demon Bugs also rushed forward, and even skillfully avoided the flames.
At this time, the Transformation Force and Innate who were recruited to follow the military and police, and had practiced the third layer of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, would take action one after another, and knock down all these assassins.
In addition, they were also responsible for observing the surroundings, relying on their excellent eyesight, to find the location of the larvae as much as possible, and provide information to the cleaning personnel behind.
After round after round of sweeping, the vast Constitution Square was finally recovered.
According to the calculations afterwards, thanks to the assistance of 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》, the casualties of the personnel on the scene were reduced by 90%, and the recovery speed was advanced by two hours.
And the same method of occupation is also being staged in Mexico and other places abroad.
……
Jiang City.
Near Huayang Road, Nanhua Park.
Last night, this was also a disaster area. Many residents who came here for a walk and exercise at night were attacked by a small group of Demon Bugs that suddenly broke in.
And the most critical thing is that after the refugees left, those Demon Bugs directly drilled into the nearby forest, and relying on the cover of the Forest, they were still hunting other animals inside.
At this moment, the rescue team that had just finished treating other disaster areas in the city finally had time to clean up these Demon Bugs hiding in the Forest.
However, as soon as many soldiers arrived nearby, they saw a large group of people walking out of the Forest, each of them giggling, and they were also dragging nylon bags and fertilizer bags, which were filled with many Demon Bugs that had been killed.
Seeing this scene, the people in the army couldn’t help but look at each other.
“You are…”
A Military Officer asked in confusion.
Everyone’s eyes turned to a slightly petite figure, who was wearing an Ultraman mask, which looked a bit funny.
The masked person, or rather Han Wenwen, walked out of the team directly and said generously:
“Hello, brothers and uncles, we are Qi Xuan’s fans in Jiang City. Because we have practiced 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 in advance, many Transformation Force and Innate have reached the third layer. In order to protect our families and eliminate the surrounding disasters, we gathered together to form a civilian volunteer team to actively sweep the surrounding insect swarm and prevent anyone from being killed.”
The Military Officer frowned slightly as he listened:
“Little girl, it’s dangerous for you to be here without equipment and protection. Does your family know that you are doing these things? What if you get injured? Don’t think that you can ignore those Demon Bugs just because you have a high Realm!”
Han Wenwen lowered her head and said obediently:
“Uncle is right. We’ll go home now and not cause you any trouble.”
She shouted to the people around her:
“Everyone, disband.”
After saying that, she took the lead and ran.
A group of Transformation Force and Innate immediately ran away faster than rabbits.
“These guys…”
Looking at the people who ran away in a flash, the Military Officer was somewhat helpless for a while.
A Subordinate asked:
“Boss, what should we do next?”
“According to the original plan, a comprehensive sweep of the park!”
The Military Officer waved his hand and said:
“We must ensure the safety of the people’s lives! Never let go of a Demon Bug! And never let go of a larva!”
Everyone responded with a roar.
……
Happy Home Group.
The owners’ group shared by the owners of the Happy Home community.
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “I just saw a lot of soldiers installing some kind of protective net around the community, as if they were going to cover the entire community. What is that thing?”
Seeing this news, the group immediately became lively:
Home has Old Deng: “I heard that it is a nano-polymer film that can filter air impurities, allowing air to flow, but not allowing impurities with a diameter greater than one nanometer to enter.”
Relying on the sky and relying on the earth is not as good as relying on yourself: “I asked Comrade Zhang at the gate of the community, and he said that they were going to use that kind of film to wrap our entire community to prevent those Demon Bugs and larvae from entering and causing harm to everyone in the community.”
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “But I remember that Demon Bugs can corrode metal. Can that kind of film block them?”
Home has Old Deng: “That’s definitely not just relying on the film to block the Demon Bugs. Haven’t you seen so many soldiers and equipment around the community? Once the Demon Bugs come over, they can be killed on the spot. That kind of film is more for preventing larvae the size of rice grains. The Mouth of the larvae is not so sharp, and the film is multi-layered, with sensors arranged on it. Once damage occurs, it can be detected immediately, and emergency exclusion can be carried out.”
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “This film is not cheap, right?”
Relying on the sky and relying on the earth is not as good as relying on yourself: “Not to mention millions, it will definitely cost hundreds of thousands, and it’s not just one or two layers, it’s estimated that it won’t be less than a million.”
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “I haven’t seen other communities install this thing either?”
My Heart Remains the Same: “Because this thing was donated by Xiulan and her husband?”
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “Ah? Little Qi’s parents?”
My Heart Remains the Same: “Before the Demon Bugs arrived in Jiang City, they were taken to a safe place by the Bodyguards for protection, but they were concerned about the safety of us old neighbors, so they donated a sum of money to purchase these things for our community to install, and now it can be considered that they have caught up.”
Big Knife Dragon Bro: “Xiulan and her husband are really good people. No wonder they can cultivate a pillar like Little Qi.”
My Heart Remains the Same: “Being their neighbors is probably the luckiest thing in our lives.”
Mother Qi was very happy after reading the chat records in the group.
Turning around, she saw Captain Zhang, who had just entered after being fully disinfected, and immediately leaned forward and asked:
“Captain Zhang, when will we be able to go out from here?”
Captain Zhang immediately looked embarrassed:
“This, uncle and aunt, there are still insect swarms outside, and it’s not very safe to go out now. At least we have to make sure that all the Demon Bugs and larvae in Jiang City have been swept away before we can go out.”
“Then how long will it take?”
“It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon. Jiang City is one of the cities we are focusing on guarding. According to the current progress, it should be able to pass the harmless environment assessment in a month at the latest, and develop a special insecticide for larvae. As for the Demon Bugs, the two of you have Bodyguards nearby at all times for protection, so you don’t have to worry too much.
However, to ensure safety, it is recommended that the two of you work hard to improve your Realm during your rest period, and practice 《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》. In the future, if you accidentally encounter a Demon Bug, you will at least have a certain ability to defend yourself.”
Father Qi immediately thanked:
“Thank you, Captain Zhang. We are really sorry for bothering you during this time. What do you think you need us to help with? Just speak up.”
Captain Zhang replied with a smile:
“The two of you are in good health and have a happy life, which is the greatest help to us.”
……
Floating Continent.
The night is deep.
Qi Xuan is staying in a cave dug out by Sunday, with a warm yellow Campfire burning in front of him.
He has been heading towards the Zhao Family these days, and he has also been working hard to investigate after the Live Stream ended.
It’s a pity that because of the great changes in the Terrain, many places don’t match the map at all.
He can only keep walking around nearby, looking for clues related to the Zhao Family.
Now, the destination should not be far away.
It is estimated that he will be able to reach the Zhao Family in the next two days.
Opening the Lottery page, Qi Xuan’s slightly tired mood couldn’t help but be slightly uplifted after glancing at the 256B in the upper right corner.
Nothing else, he will draw a new guaranteed prize today.
Even the 【Shadow Return Talisman】 he drew last time, he hasn’t used it yet.
But no matter what, the Bronze Pool guaranteed prize always has its value.
Not to mention that he has now obtained the 【Re-draw Card】, this heaven-defying artifact. If he is not satisfied, he can re-draw.
Allowing him to regret it once.
“Let me see what good things I can draw this time!”
He casually pressed the lever of the slot machine, and in the sound of the spinning, ten Light Balls soon popped out.
Three ordinary and seven Spiritual Items.
In addition to two Spiritual Materials, two commonly used Pills, and two commonly used Talismans, he also drew a Martial Arts.
“Is it Martial Arts again? I always feel that I haven’t taught Martial Arts for a long time.”
“《Flying Flower Plucking Leaves Hand》 doesn’t seem to be of much use, should I teach this one tomorrow?”
Qi Xuan thought for a while and made a decision:
“It depends on the situation. If I have time, I’ll teach it. If I don’t have time, I’ll push it back a little. Maybe it will be difficult to draw Martial Arts in the future, and then I can use this one to pad it.”
He casually put away the rewards and pressed the lever again.
Ten Light Balls immediately popped out, four ordinary and six Spiritual Items, one of which was the guaranteed Second Grade Spiritual Item this time.
“Hmph, you better make me satisfied, or I’ll re-draw on the spot!”
Qi Xuan directly opened the Spiritual Item. Not to mention the Spiritual Materials and Spiritual Grass, he unexpectedly drew a strange Talisman among the five First-Grade Spiritual Items.
It was the Heart-Linking Talisman that he had just used before.
He still remembers the painful result of using the Heart-Linking Talisman at the beginning.
It was said to connect two people in the dark, but as soon as he asked a question, the connection was immediately cut off.
How can this be described as just a scam?
It’s simply a scam!
But later, he thought about it carefully again. This might also have something to do with his Realm. If the Realm is too low, it can’t support a long connection time. When the Realm is improved, the connection time should be able to last longer.
“If it’s related to the Realm, I’ll use it again after a while. I don’t know who I contacted last time.”
Qi Xuan put away the Heart-Linking Talisman and turned his attention to the last Second-Grade Spiritual Item.
To be honest, with the Heart-Linking Talisman, he didn’t plan to re-draw anymore. After all, the Heart-Linking Talisman is a strange Talisman, purely drawn by luck. He will have one less draw each time, and maybe he won’t be able to draw it until he reaches Nascent Soul.
He really doesn’t want to use the Re-draw Card for this kind of special Talismans.
Even if he wastes this guaranteed opportunity.
Qi Xuan took a deep breath and slowly tapped the guaranteed Light Ball.
After the light dispersed, what appeared in front of him was a silver-shining Talisman.
“Second Grade… Immobilization Talisman?!”
Qi Xuan was immediately ecstatic.
This thing is much more useful than the Minor Teleportation Talisman and Teleportation Talisman!
The First-Grade Immobilization Talisman can only immobilize Qi Condensation.
But the Second Grade Immobilization Talisman is a treasure Talisman that is enough to immobilize Foundation Stage Great Cultivators!
Even the peak of Foundation Stage, maybe it can be immobilized for a moment.
Of course, don’t think that you can kill Foundation Stage as easily as killing a chicken just because you have the Immobilization Talisman. No matter how powerful the effect of the Immobilization Talisman is, you have to be able to stick the Talisman on the other person’s body. Foundation Stage is not a fool, standing there straight and letting you stick it.
Most of the time, you have to use a strategy to successfully stick the Immobilization Talisman on the Foundation Stage.
And generally, it has to be the Foundation Stage person who takes action.
Qi Condensation, no matter how carefully planned, because of the huge gap between the Realms, the possibility of successfully immobilizing Foundation Stage may be less than one in ten thousand.
But if it is used to deal with Nangong Wuji, a Four-Armed Monster, the success rate of the Immobilization Talisman will be much higher.
The other party doesn’t notice the power of the Talisman at all, and they won’t even dodge during the battle.
The Immobilization Talisman can be said to be a divine weapon for dealing with them.
“This time, I drew two treasure Talismans in the guaranteed ten draws, so there’s no need to re-draw.”
“It seems that the use of the Re-draw Card will be postponed for a while.”
Qi Xuan put away all the rewards.
He looked at Sunday, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, and the dark night outside, and he inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness.
“I’ve been traveling for so long, and I haven’t met a single person. It can’t be that all the Natives are dead, right?”
“Then who should I ask about the secret of the sun? And how should I know when the next collapse will be?”
He patted his face, dispelling the gloomy emotions in his mind, took a deep breath, and prepared to meditate and cultivate.
Thanks to the Qi Replenishing Pill he took last time, he will be able to advance to Qi Refining Stage 6 in five or six days at most, and obtain the sixth change of Qi Refining.
“It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon…”
Qi Xuan slowly closed his eyes and entered the deep cultivation.
PS: My phone fell in the afternoon, and the boss who repaired the phone lost my data again. I can only start from scratch. I owe one chapter, and I will make up two chapters later, and I will make them up before the end of the month. Alas, my old phone that has been used for nearly ten years is stuck, and I feel that I should change it.
