Their appearance was very similar to what Su Mo had seen before, the only difference being the ant head parasitizing their necks was much larger, with two extrely long antennae protruding from the top of the head, black and sharply pointed hair, and a pair of forelimbs that had broken out from the shoulders, which looked utterly disgusting.
Lu Chen used his superpower to freeze the entire floor of the house with ice crystals.
The Parasitic People who attempted to tunnel out from the black soil of the living room got completely blocked on their way forward.
From that small room, seven or eight Parasitic People suddenly rushed out.
Swinging her blade, Su Mo forcefully chopped at a Parasitic Person that was attacking her; its pair of forelimbs were blocked by her Tang Blade, and with a backhand stroke, she brutally severed its forelimbs.
Lu Chen was absolutely right; the lethality of the worker ants and the strength of the soldier ants were different. Becoming a soldier ant type of Parasitic Person, the strength of the forelimbs was exceptionally strong and solid; the exoskeleton could not be easily dealt with just her Tang Blade as it was now.
Jianxiong gripped the forelimb aiming for his chest with one hand; after his body swelled, his silver hard skin, with endless strength, he smashed the opponent’s head with a clenched fist.
Zhao Changsheng’s eyes lit with electricity; her hands gathered currents, a Thunder Whip lashed out igniting sparks and also set the wooden furniture inside the room ablaze.
The flas burst instantaneously from every corner, and the bright firelight soon illuminated the entire dark room.
After Li Qian’s spiritual power strangled several Parasitic Types, he quickly judged through his brain and locked his sight under his feet, turning his head to call Jianxiong, "Co over, smash a hole here, all the Parasitic People are concentrating at this spot, it’s hollow underneath, we can bypass by going under."
Li He imdiately let go and pushed Jianxiong, "Hurry up, I’ll be fine here."
At such a mont, Jianxiong no longer hesitated; he walked to the spot designated by Li Qian, swung his fists, and with full force, punched directly downwards.
The underground ant tunnels were vast, convoluted, and Jianxiong struck several punches in that soft black soil, causing the ground to collapse quickly since it was already hollow beneath, and soon, a large opening was directly smashed open.
More and more worker ant Parasitic People surged out from the room, and Lu Chen did not plan to fight a prolonged battle. As soon as Jianxiong said it was possible to go down, he imdiately retreated, growling, "Go, get down!"
Imrsed in gathering points, Su Mo heard him and imdiately withdrew her superpower, turning and jumping into the pitch-black hole.
The pitch-black cave below, everyone had jumped down, and before Jianxiong ca down, he dragged the wooden sofa over, wedging it in the middle of the hole, buying ti.
Li Qian’s spiritual power expanded boundlessly, and he quickly plotted a route; Lu Chen handed him a flashlight, and the group navigated through the pitch-black tunnels.
The place was dark and damp, and behind them was the chase of groups of worker and soldier ant Parasitic People.
True to their inherited ant behavior, the underground openings were winding, and several tis, Su Mo was nearly caught by a Parasitic Person that suddenly appeared around a corner.
Their numbers were staggering.
Even Li Qian could not montarily determine how many parasitized humans existed below; they ran madly through the passages.
Until Li Qian calmly said, "Ahead, 50, we must fight through them, or we’ll be overwheld by the Parasitic People behind us."
Jianxiong, already panting heavily, said, "Why, why don’t we just go directly for the queen?"
His words imdiately drew looks from everyone as if he was a fool.
Even Li He couldn’t help saying, "You must have watched Animal World, right? The defense around the queen is the tightest, the ard forces there compared to those chasing us now are trivial."
With that said, Jianxiong also felt embarrassed.
The team confronted the Parasitic People head-on as they approached, crowded in the narrow passage, their forelimbs flailing wildly, aiming to slice them into pieces.
Faintly, Su Mo could hear their intermittent speech, "Food, my food, stay behind!"
Su Mo conjured vines to bind the leading Parasitic People, while Lu Chen’s Ice Blade accurately penetrated the heads of those ants.
The air was filled with a pungent odor that, already poorly ventilated underground, made them feel extrely uncomfortable.
Li He was protected at the rear, continuously slapping them with the Light Ball in his hand, and even pulled out a handgun he always carried for ergencies to provide support by firing.
It was easy for them to deal with these low-damage Parasitic People, but the nurical difference also made them feel fatigue.
More than fifty Parasitic People were thoroughly eradicated under the leadership of Lu Chen.
The exit Li Qian ntioned was actually quite far from their starting position.
The underground range of this ant nest was vast; Su Mo had been running for nearly two hours just with her legs.
They all crawled out of the hole, with Jianxiong pushing a large amount of snow down to block the entrance tightly.
Returning to the surface from underground, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
She wrapped herself tightly, not exposing even a single strand of hair.
Lu Chen quickly changed vehicles, letting Su Mo get on first.
The entire group got into the vehicle, and on the silvery-white ground, the armored car sped away from the place.
To avoid being quickly detected by satellites again, rely doing this was not enough; Lu Chen drove the armored car in the opposite direction for a long distance before starting on the correct path.
Su Mo sat in the back seat, the scenery outside the window obscured by a towel.
She was breathing heavily; after running for so long, her stamina was barely keeping up.
Li He wasn’t in much better condition either; being solely a Healing Superpower user, ultimately, it was Jianxiong who had to carry him out.
By the ti the day was fully bright, Lu Chen finally found a place for them to rest and take shelter.
Small houses were all buried under the snow, leaving only so very tall buildings with so dilapidated skeletons remaining on them.
They were battered by hail beyond recognition, but barely sufficient for Su Mo and others to rest a while before continuing on their journey.
"At least it’s not out in the open."
Li Qian walked into the building, found a draft-free spot, and sat down, beckoning to Zhao Changsheng, "Co here."
Everyone found themselves seats, Su Mo and Lu Chen sitting on sleeping bags. She nibbled on beef jerky and said sowhat sadly, "We’ve only been out for a short while, and I’m already missing Lu Ruixue. I wonder if she’s doing well."
Lu Chen wrapped an arm around her shoulders and softly comforted, "We’ll head back as soon as possible."
However, everyone knew in their hearts that the road back to Huatang was still very long.
