Chapter 355 - 6: Protecting the Seed Bank_4
The next moment, as Li Chang’an’s command was issued, everyone stopped their actions, including Lei Yu, who slowly released the current in his hand.
And at that same moment, a streak of deep blue light swiftly spread from Chu River’s palm.
...
This blue light was so profound and radiated outward with lightning speed.
At the same time, the deep blue light gradually thinned. The weary crowd on the scene could only make an effort to see that under the dim evening lights, the surface of the soil was covered with a thin layer of pale blue film.
Intangible and formless, yet reaching out, it felt as if touching an elastic membrane, unable to penetrate.
Chu River, still brimming with energy, said, "Everyone heard the order, right? Now rest on the spot. Once you’re rested, go out and kill the insects directly."
Lei Yu was already lying on the ground. The medical staff next to him said nothing and quickly pulled out a glucose injection from heavy protection and infused it into his mouth at lightning speed.
This was the treatment that heroes received nowadays.
The empty plastic bottle was thrown afar, attracting a swarm of flies that rushed in. Lei Yu’s little finger flicked slightly, and after a flash of electricity, only a small tuft of ash remained.
He could feel that tonight his ability had improved somewhat, even his recovery speed felt better.
But... how could this ever be enough?
He turned his head with difficulty to look at the already closed-eyed Chu River, who was also closing his eyes tightly, struggling to adjust his breathing—
Since defense isn’t possible, then prepare to attack!
...
The pale blue film covered the entire central city area. With Chu River’s ability, spreading to this range was already the limit. She couldn’t protect any larger area, and could only use the broadcast to notify those underground to gather in one place to ensure utmost protection.
The insects briefly escaped Lei Yu’s plasma isolation, but just for that instant, the faintly perceivable aura vanished without a trace, something in front obstructed their sense of smell, preventing them from locating their food!
After a simple flash of anger, they quickly lay back on the ground and resumed gnawing.
3S Spiritual Power covering such a large area used solely for defense had not a hint of attacking capability. Countless insects opened their mouths simultaneously, Chu River shut her eyes tight, let out a muffled grunt, and then made no sound, merely adjusting her posture, pressing both hands to the ground to support herself.
...
Song You had been listening intently to the sounds outside from within the Spiritual Spring Space.
Separated by a security door—yes, Lei Yu ultimately closed her door again, but this wasn’t for protection, it was for the viewing ahead.
This door would be monitored constantly in the upcoming time, and if anyone appeared, all real people on duty in the surrounding area would immediately capture her!
The insects’ arrival was definitely connected to her!
The noise outside was utterly chaotic.
There were sounds of bugs continuously gnawing on walls, door frames, and windowsills, people running incessantly upstairs and downstairs, and various ongoing battle rhythms on the community broadcast, children crying, angry shouts of those unwilling to rotate out despite exhaustion...
All of this indicated just how dangerous this world was.
Song You watched as the Spiritual Spring slowly gathered through the crevices, ultimately sitting inside in fear, resolved to get on good terms with Lei Yu at all costs to seek future protection, while ensuring her secret was never discovered by anyone.
She sighed deeply—
Heavens, when will it finally be dawn?
