CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 330: FLYING ANTS! FLYING ANTS! ORA ORA!

Yao Wei gritted her teeth, itching to charge forward and give those two who were playing with Lu Xi’an a vicious beating.

But in the end, she held back.

She understood the key to winning this battle, and knew what she should be doing at this moment.

Lu Xi’an had the Fungus Stone in hand, and though he looked a bit worse for wear, holding on a while longer wasn’t a problem.

Earlier, they couldn’t take down Boss Liang and Xu immediately, just as Boss Liang and Xu couldn’t deal with Lu Xi’an right now. This public humiliation was their attempt to provoke Lu Xi’an into making a mistake.

—Just like before, when Tang Er and Yao intercepted the B-type Neo-Humans along with Boss Liang and Xu, forcing them to show a flaw.

What they needed to do now was similar: attack the rear camp of Boss Liang and Xu, forcing them to reveal another weakness.

Yao Wei forced herself to take her eyes off Lu Xi’an and focus elsewhere.

Standing sideways, she hid the sniper rifle behind her, constantly keeping an eye on a particular direction with her peripheral vision.

She didn’t have Gou to directly sense the enemy’s rear positions, so she had to rely on Yao and Tang Er’s attacks to make judgments.

Gou was with Yao and Tang Er, so the first maneuver had to be initiated by them.

Or with the aid of a drone under Chai Xin’s cloaking ability.

"Woosh—"

A scorching beam suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Indeed, it was the drone that attacked first!

Following the drone, Tang Er’s attack came swiftly, with several stones shooting towards where the drone’s beam targeted.

Immediately, Yao Wei caught a faint groan and, without hesitation, raised her gun and fired.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Where they attacked, seven figures suddenly appeared.

Among them, one person dropped dead, their single eye pierced by a bullet, without a chance for survival.

Of the remaining six, two were severely wounded, one with a scorched forehead but not burned through.

The other had two irregular puncture wounds but not fully penetrated.

The two wobbled but soon regained their footing.

Another clenched several stones tightly, his eyes bloodshot, appearing to be bolstered by the Type C Neo-Human support.

The two remaining unharmed were encircled by the others without a scratch.

The situation was crystal clear—

After regaining their footing, those recovered were undoubtedly the B-type Neo-Humans within the enemy ranks.

Having consumed Neo-Human flesh, with Fungus Stone elements in their bodies, they had also achieved the benefits of the training regime Luo Ping and Bottle devised, boosting their physical resilience, becoming worthy shields.

These two had forcibly defended against extremely lethal attacks aimed at three Type C Neo-Humans using sheer physical strength.

The Type A Neo-Human among them also assisted, covering for the B-type Neo-Humans by blocking a few stones shot by Tang Er.

The problem was, they were already at their limits when Yao Wei followed up with another sniper shot without even aiming.

This shot, by sheer good fortune, struck a D-type Neo-Human.

The D-type Neo-Human died instantly, causing the hidden seven to reveal themselves.

The Type A Neo-Human, holding a cylindrical weapon, wouldn’t let go, leaving one hand occupied, unable to help the D-type Neo-Human.

"Watch out for that cylinder!"

Luo Ping’s voice suddenly rang out.

His shout was loud, catching everyone’s attention, prompting the Type A Neo-Human to glance at Luo Ping, instinctively raising the cylinder slightly.

The next moment, he was horrified to find the cylinder in his hand rapidly vanishing, as if an unseen force was devouring it at high speed, even though it was meant not to be consumable.

"What is this?!"

The Type A Neo-Human instantly realized something.

"Flames!"

One of the recently recovered B-type Neo-Humans shouted urgently.

The Type A Neo-Human snapped out of it, hurriedly squeezing the trigger on the cylinder.

However, the mostly dissipated cylinder only emitted a small tongue of flame before immediately dying out.

Where the flame flickered, burning Flying Ants appeared and vanished almost instantly.

This left both sides aware of each other’s weapons.

The cylindrical object the Type A Neo-Human held was in fact a flamethrower.

The flamethrower, preserved from the old world to today, must have undergone special modifications, designed specifically for these post-apocalyptic times.

It was likely their chosen means for countering Liu Hua’s Flying Ants.

They probably hadn’t anticipated that Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei’s group would have Flying Ants, but they prudently brought the flamethrower in the vehicle just in case.

Unexpectedly, it had found a use so quickly.

Boss Liang and Xu, serving as the vanguard, battled with Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei, returning defeated but with intel about the Flying Ants.

So the Type A Neo-Human preemptively kept this special weapon at hand to guard against Flying Ants attacks.

—They must have calculated that Boss Liang and Xu, empowered to this extent, need not fear the Flying Ants in direct confrontation.

They were, of course, helpless against the Flying Ants, but they could move quickly to avoid them.

But the others were not so lucky.

So the flamethrower was entrusted to the Type A Neo-Humans to use for protection.

However, no matter how special the flamethrower was, it was of no use now.

The weapon had already disappeared into the grasp of the Type A Neo-Human.

The Type A Neo-Human shuddered, a cold sweat instantly soaking his back, and he quickly released his grip.

He no longer cared about the others, escaped, and then saw that the other few people were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahhhhh!"

Two B-type Neo-Humans and three Type C Neo-Humans were disappearing like that tube, at a speed visible to the naked eye, even the D-type Neo-Humans on the ground were the same. In the blink of an eye, each had already disappeared halfway.

And this disappearance was clearly not that simple or easy. As a result, the two B-type Neo-Humans and three Type C Neo-Humans all let out simultaneous screams.

The screams were brief and piercing, disappearing in an instant.

Completely clean, not a trace left.

The Type A Neo-Human, drenched in cold sweat, realized that the situation was hopeless; he no longer cared about Boss Liang and Xu, turning to run.

However, at this moment, no one cared about him.

Perhaps even if they did, he wouldn’t have seen it.

Anyway, Yao Wei didn’t go after him.

Yao Wei had already dropped the sniper rifle, her body bursting with unparalleled speed, lunging towards the suddenly out-of-sorts Xu and Boss Liang.

"Liu Hua, watch me!"

She shouted, and the next moment her eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged at her temples.

She had been enhanced.

"Boom!"

The next moment, her fist had struck Xu’s face.

The flesh on Xu’s face and body, tightened by the bulging veins, instantly loosened, her body and spirit somewhat bewildered, unable to resist Yao Wei’s blow, causing the fat on her face to quiver as she was about to fly backward.

But Yao Wei had anticipated this and didn’t repeat her previous mistakes.

Before she struck, she had already grabbed Xu’s arm with her other hand, preventing Xu from being punched away.

So the suddenly corpulent woman was punched away and pulled back, punched away and pulled back again, utterly powerless to retaliate.

From afar, everyone could only see Yao Wei playing with a giant yoyo, playing so intensely that the speed of the yoyo’s rebound was almost unbelievable, causing each of them to watch with bated breath.

Yao Wei didn’t need to worry about the other person.

Just before the situation changed, Lu Xi’an had been punched by Xu, flying towards Boss Liang.

As a result, just as Boss Liang lifted his foot to kick, the Type C Neo-Human supporting him and Xu was gnawed away by the Flying Ants.

Without the support of the Type C Neo-Human, Boss Liang temporarily lost his balance, failing to hit Lu Xi’an with the kick, allowing Lu Xi’an to seize his leg.

Lu Xi’an, taking advantage of being kicked by Xu, performed a large twist in midair, then swung his arm down heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!"

Cracks spread across the ground, sinking to an unknown depth.

Lu Xi’an was already straddling Boss Liang’s back, punching relentlessly at the back of his head.

"Kick you, kick you, kick you, kick you!!!!!!!"

The fists moved so fast they were a blur, speaking couldn’t keep up with the punching speed.

Boss Liang’s head was already deeply embedded in the ground, even his upper body followed suit, forcing Lu Xi’an to squat halfway to keep pounding.

Luo Ping and the others glanced alternately at Yao Wei and Lu Xi’an, twitching at the corners of their eyes, heart pounding, thinking these two were terrifying and resolving never to provoke them in the future.

"Spare... spare me!"

Deeply embedded in the pit from the beating, Boss Liang still had enough strength left to utter a weak cry, needing time even to rely on the Fungus Stone to recover.

This reminder struck Lu Xi’an. He immediately stopped, reached out to press down hard on Boss Liang’s head, and called to Liu Hua, "Liu Hua, come!"

Liu Hua immediately understood, and the invisible Flying Ants swarmed up, obliterating Boss Liang’s entire body in no time.

Only then did Lu Xi’an pull up that already shapeless head from the pit and toss it into the air.

"Swoosh——"

The head disappeared as well.

Witnessing Yao Wei’s relentless thrashing, Xu was so terrified her eyes went wide. Just as she was about to say something, Yao Wei suddenly punched her mouth, knocking out a tooth, making it impossible to speak.

In the midst of viciously beating Xu, Yao Wei, out of habit, had disabled Xu’s limbs. After checking to confirm that Xu’s arms hadn’t recovered and her legs had automatically reattached, she dislocated one side again.

Then, she held Xu’s head in both hands like pulling up a radish, swayed Xu up, and said, "Come on."

"Swoosh——"

Xu’s body disappeared as well.

Like Lu Xi’an before her, she tossed Xu’s head into the air.

"Swoosh——"

The head vanished too.
