Novel Full Chapter 240: Poisonous Insect King
Vast forest, dark cave.
“Chirp!”
Xiaohu obediently lay on the ground, lifting its paws and exposing its belly for Ning Shuangyu to check its wounds.
Ning Shuangyu lifted the fur on its belly, finding a small bloody hole that was bleeding!
“How did you get hurt?”
Ning Shuangyu slightly frowned, muttering to herself.
Then.
She took out some emergency medicine from a small gourd and gave Xiaohu a simple bandage.
“Alright, rest for a bit!”
She gently patted Xiaohu’s head.
“Chirp!”
Xiaohu lifted its head and called out.
Even though it had lost too much blood, making it lethargic.
It still spread its huge wings, sheltering Ning Shuangyu in its gentle embrace, offering a bit of comfort.
“Sigh!”
But at this moment.
The other people’s faces showed exhaustion and helplessness:
“All that excitement for nothing!”
Just now, when they saw Xiaohu, they were quite happy—
because Xiaohu could fly!
Maybe it could take them out of this hell!
But unexpectedly!
Xiaohu was gravely injured!
Obviously, it couldn’t take them flying anymore!
Even!
It had become a burden!
…
Time was long and torturous.
The occasional wind sound outside the cave, like the mocking of evil spirits, slowly eroded their hope.
…
Suddenly!
Someone’s stomach let out a “grumble”!
In this silent cave, it sounded particularly piercing!
Hungry!
They had already forgotten how long they’d been trapped here!
But anyhow, they were hungry!
“What should we do? We haven’t eaten for a long time!”
“Yeah! How long do we have to hide here?”
“If we continue to have nothing to eat, we won’t last a few days!”
…
After complaining.
They tried to search every corner of the cave for edible food!
Not even sparing cracks between the stones!
But only found some strange plants and insects!
They dared not eat those!
All efforts were ultimately in vain!
So they could only sit down and sigh again.
…
“Now we can barely endure! But if we get even hungrier, we might lose our sanity! How can we think of a way to escape then?”
“Will the people outside really come to save us?”
“Even if they come, they can’t determine our location! In a short time, they won’t find us!”
“Even if they find us, they may not be able to get us out!”
People analyzed the current situation!
But the more they analyzed, the more desperate they felt!
“Why not… we catch a few fierce beasts to eat?”
“Otherwise, we’ll starve to death before the rescue comes!”
One person suggested.
But everyone remained silent.
Because, where would they find fierce beasts?
They might be outside.
But how dared they go out?
Yet!
This sentence was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in everyone’s hearts, though unspoken.
Right now!
In this cave!
Wasn’t there already a fierce beast right here?
That injured Xiaohu!
Gradually.
Their eyes turned hungry towards Xiaohu!
And Ning Shuangyu keenly noticed this!
She said firmly:
“Don’t get any ideas about Xiaohu.”
Hearing this!
Everyone fell silent for a moment!
“Ha! How could we? Don’t worry, Captain Frosty…”
They responded.
But the guilt and pretense in their tone were clearly exposed!
…
Outside the cave remained as dark as night.
All kinds of electronic devices on them were also completely ruined!
Thus, they lost track of time.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Inside the cave.
Xiaohu curled its large body into a ball, seemingly sleeping by Ning Shuangyu’s feet.
But its breathing became weaker!
As if it could stop at any moment!
Ning Shuangyu saw this, her heart aching—
Xiaohu was clearly seriously injured!
And it usually ate a lot!
It must be starving now!
If she didn’t replenish its strength soon!
It might really die!
No choice!
Ning Shuangyu could only take out a top-grade Spirit Battle Fruit from the small gourd.
Decisively feeding it to Xiaohu!
…
But this scene!
Was caught by a sharp-eyed woman next to her!
“Captain Frosty!”
The woman exclaimed in surprise!
“You have food! How can you give it to Xiaohu? It’s not fair! We haven’t eaten yet!”
Upon hearing this!
The sharp gazes of everyone instantly pierced Ning Shuangyu like ice cones!
“Captain Frosty?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Ning Shuangyu faced tremendous psychological pressure!
But she knew she wasn’t wrong!
So she said:
“Xiaohu is very weak, if it doesn’t eat something soon it’ll die…”
But before she could finish!
A man interrupted:
“Captain Frosty! We’re all starving and about to die! You must have other food on you, right?”
“Exactly!”
…
Seeing this.
Ning Shuangyu sighed helplessly!
She hadn’t wanted to reveal her food so soon—
Though it was impossible to determine the exact time now!
But Ning Shuangyu estimated that they’d been trapped here for no more than two days!
And they weren’t even injured!
How could it be possible to die so soon?
But!
To quell the anger of the crowd.
She could only turn around!
Pretending to take from her body, but actually from the little gourd—
She took out a bottle of pure water and a pack of compressed biscuits!
Her voice was slightly bitter:
“This is the last reserve, originally meant for saving lives…”
But as soon as everyone saw the food!
Their eyes lit up, and they rushed forward!
Snatching the water and food away:
“One sip each! Don’t drink too much! This is life-saving stuff!”
“I’ll go first!”
“Why do you get to go first?”
“I’m a girl! I…”
…
Seeing a few people constantly fighting, Ning Shuangyu’s gaze was worried.
But fortunately!
After eating the Superpower Fruit, Xiaohu’s aura stabilized, seemingly gradually recovering.
Ning Shuangyu felt relieved.
…
Shortly after!
The seven or eight people divided the small bottle of pure water and the pack of compressed biscuits.
Ate it clean!
And no one said to leave a bite for Ning Shuangyu—
For them, who were desperately hungry!
This bit of food was just a drop in the ocean!
Even!
It stirred their stronger appetite!
“Captain Frosty! You must still have food hidden, right?”
The man suddenly turned red-eyed!
Questioned Ning Shuangyu again!
“Otherwise!”
“Why would you so easily hand over this bit of food?”
“No more!”
Ning Shuangyu naturally denied—
If she handed over all her food now!
It might trigger a violent scramble among the crowd!
Causing unnecessary casualties!
The key is!
Both she and Xiaohu were injured, they might not be able to win the scramble!
…
But those people obviously didn’t believe!
Even proposed the unreasonable demand for a search!
“Now is a special situation, food should be distributed to the right people!”
The man said righteously!
“Captain Frosty, you and Xiaohu are both injured, the chance of survival is already slim! Why waste our survival resources?”
Ning Shuangyu’s face changed—
Sister Gu Fei was right!
In the apocalypse, human nature cannot withstand the test!
The people around you can turn into monsters at any time!
Yet!
Ning Shuangyu didn’t expect—
They would change so quickly?!
Even!
The man cruelly took a step forward:
“How about! We eat Xiaohu first! Look! He’s so fat, maybe he can help us last until rescue arrives…”
“Chirp!”
Hearing this!
Xiaohu cried out, struggling to flap his wings, standing up to block in front of Ning Shuangyu!
Spread his wings toward the crowd, screeching in defiance!
The crowd instinctively took a step back!
“Ah!”
But the woman covered her mouth and screamed!
“Is Xiaohu threatening us?!”
“Captain Frosty, how about you kill Xiaohu! Even if we don’t eat its meat… but it’s a fierce beast!”
“If he’s hungry, he might eat us!”
Listening to the woman’s words!
Coupled with Xiaohu’s incredibly fierce appearance!
The crowd’s hearts sank—
That’s right!
Fierce beasts can eat people!
If we don’t eat him, he will eat us!
…
Seeing the crowd approach with dim eyes!
Ning Shuangyu hastily rebuked:
“What are you trying to do!”
But no one said a word!
Yet at this moment!
Xiaohu suddenly leaped forward!
Raised a giant claw!
And pinned the leading man to the ground!
Then let out a roar at him:
“Roar!”
The man was frightened!
Because he realized that before this fierce beast, he had no power to resist!
Xiaohu’s claws embedded in his flesh!
Xiaohu’s saliva, tinged with blood, dripped onto his face!
Immediately!
The crowd snapped out of their anger:
They actually forgot!
Xiaohu is a terrifying fierce beast with a strong physique!
Even though he’s injured now!
He’s still unmatched by this group of ordinary people who’ve lost their superpower!
Their eyes instantly cleared:
“Good Xiaohu! We’re just playing with you!”
…
Meanwhile!
On the other side of Bright Moon City!
At the Special Agent Base!
The Super Agents had just repelled the wave of fierce beasts!
Faced with an unprecedented challenge—
A densely packed, hideously terrifying army of poisonous insects!
Spiders, scorpions, big-headed ants, rove beetles…
One by one, with large bodies and ugly appearances that make one’s scalp tingle!
Inescapable!
Crawling out from every dark corner!
Jumping onto people’s faces!
Crawling into their clothing!
Walking on their skin!
Biting their bodies!
Injecting intense venom!
“Ah!”
For a moment!
The base was filled with screams!
Many agents were bitten by the poisonous insects, painfully rolling on the ground!
Black lines appeared on their skin!
Then gradually turned into a pool of pus in their agony!
Filling people with terror!
