“Don’t go near the restroom!”
Major General Lu sternly advised, taking large strides forward. But before he could reach them, a strange “gululu” sound echoed from the restroom, as if something was squeezing out of a narrow pipe. The manager, carrying the little girl in that direction, was startled. As he paused briefly, a thunderous boom followed as the restroom door was forcefully thrown out, slamming hard against the wall. Immediately afterward, a foul-smelling black shadow rushed out, directly aiming for the little girl!
Its speed was astonishing, with sharp, gleaming segments. Without time to spare, Major General Lu threw his dagger, but faster than his dagger was a cold light flying out from behind him! The cold, sharp light passed by Major General Lu, the manager and the little girl who was on the ground, piercing the body of the black shadow and pinning it to the wall. It was an oddly shaped narrow knife!
“Hiss!”
The black shadow emitted an angry and irritable hiss, and a brown, fetid liquid gushed out.
Its true form was revealed—it was a black-brown insect the size of a human head! It had membranous wings that reflected light and sharp bristles on its segments. It had a tenacious vitality; even after its midsection was impaled by the narrow knife, it was still struggling violently. Its exoskeleton rubbed against the blade, producing a loud and resounding clang.
In the next moment, the strange insect’s midsection suddenly split open, and a tide of thousands of tiny insects surged out from it like a flood, marching towards the people in the hall, a terrifying and nauseating scene.
Oh no!
Major General Lu, with his quick thinking, rushed forward, grabbed the manager and the little girl, and threw them backward. However, he exposed himself to the swarm of insects. Without panicking, he calmly pulled out his handgun, disregarding the fact that the advancing insects had already crawled onto his military boots. But at that moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button, the entire swarm stopped moving.
What’s going on?!
Taking advantage of the pause, Major General Lu quickly brushed off the small insects from his boots, retrieved his military dagger, and briskly left the area swarming with insects. When he placed the dagger back in his boot, he lowered his head and saw that the specially made military boots were now tattered and frayed, with several pairs of sharp mandible marks deeply embedded in them. Then, a young male voice came from the direction of the elevator, chanting in a language Major General Lu couldn’t understand, but he knew it was a mysterious and eerie tone.
It was Miao!
Although Major General Lu couldn’t understand Miao incantations, he could still recognize the Miao language. After all, in preparation for this exchange with Wu Rong, he had been very cautious. Upon learning that he was of Miao descent and the descendant of a Miao hero, Major General Lu had even self-studied some Miao. In Wu Rong’s group, there were two people of Miao ethnicity: Wu Rong and Bai Gu. These insects must have stopped under the command of one of them.

If the young man hadn’t intervened in time, such a large swarm of insects would have been challenging to suppress.

The manhole covers were sent flying, and creatures from the sewers rushed out, they were all grotesquely shaped large insects! As birds and beasts were corrupted by Ghost Qi, insects that thrived in Yin environments also began to show abnormalities. Fortunately, the safe zone had made preparations in advance. Soldiers with flamethrowers replaced the patrolling special police forces, and high-temperature flames spewed out, causing the insects to emit sharp screams and the pungent smell of burnt protein to spread across the streets.
However, insects had a tenacious vitality and could survive in various harsh environments. In a sense, these mutated insects were more challenging to deal with than ghosts. They fled quickly to avoid the flames, and to escape being burnt, they began to assault the closed shops on both sides of the road. Ordinary glass doors and rolling shutters were cut, like hot knives slicing through butter, by the sharp forelegs of these mutated insects. In no time, the insects would break through!
The mutation came too fast. Most of the initial investments in the safe zone were focused on peripheral defense. Although everything needed to eliminate the mutated animals and insects was fully stocked in warehouses, it would take time to bring them in. Major General Lu, as the highest-ranking military leader in this operation, had the authority to allocate supplies and, without hesitation, he took out his radio to arrange it. As he hung up, he heard the training hall door open, and the people who had been standing at the elevator exit earlier were leaving.
“Wait!”
Major General Lu, remembering his mission, instinctively wanted to chase after them. However, he heard the frightened sobbing of the little girl, and the manager, who had calmed down a bit, summoned his hungry ghost to devour the insects on the ground. These small insects seemed to be dying since they could be devoured by such a weak hungry ghost. Yet Major General Lu couldn’t abandon them due to his sense of responsibility.
He called the patrol guards to escort the people in the Red Star Training Hall to a safe area and after wasting this precious time, Major General Lu went out again. But how could he find traces of Wu Rong in the chaotic streets!
“Go ahead and eat.”
The Black Rock Wolf Spider, restless and impatient, rubbed its limbs on Wu Rong’s shoulder, conveying its greedy desires to the depths of Wu Rong’s heart. Just now, in the training room, it had eaten a mutated black bug crawling out of the sewer. Sensing that there might be more delicious creatures in the hall downstairs, it urged Wu Rong to hurry down. With the Zhong Gu present, Wu Rong detected the appearance of the mutated insects the moment they appeared.
What a great opportunity!
However, the giant mutated cockroach was female. After being stimulated, the larvae hatched, dispersing its own energy and leaving only a useless empty shell. Wu Rong glanced at the street and saw that the military had already begun arranging the elimination of the mutated insects. However, he couldn’t wait any longer. Creatures contaminated by Yin Qi were excellent materials; they were almost as good as the ghost-faced blood beetles in the corpse pit!
For a moment, even Wu Rong’s usually indifferent face showed an eager expression. Watching the insects running rampant everywhere, Su Xiaomi’s disgust was vivid. After consulting with Wu Rong, he immediately drew his Seven Star Sword and joined his brother in the insect-killing team. Wu Rong, after releasing the Black Rock Wolf Spider and the human-faced spider, immediately used his blood contract to inform Bai Gu and Huang Mao, who were staying at home.
“Hurry to Fuxing Road; there’s something good.”
“If you’re late, it will be gone soon.”
Before the supernatural resurgence, some scholars made the following assertion, they believed that insects were the true rulers of the Earth. They possessed tenacious vitality and powerful reproductive abilities, surviving in almost any harsh environment. Ghost Qi contamination was fatal to most animals and plants, but insects, which preferred dark and humid environments, could survive in many cases.
Humans could drive away stray cats and dogs, exterminate rodents, but they couldn’t completely expel insects. These ubiquitous little things seemed inconspicuous at first glance, but when magnified several times, they could bring about horror and fear equivalent to ghosts.
“Mom, Mommie, save me!”
Amid the chaos caused by the mutated insects, a panicked cry of a little girl suddenly came from a residential area. It was an old residential area with a maximum of six floors. The cry came from the fourth floor, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass. A gigantic mosquito, with wings almost as long as a human, clung to the window. Its slender and hard mouthparts shimmered with a metallic sheen, striking heavily against the window glass.
“Qianqian!”
A woman’s desperate cry rang out as the giant mosquito pulled out its slender mouthpiece and took off, with a small girl hanging from its sharp needle-like mouthpiece! The giant mosquito had a black and white striped body and a swollen abdomen. It was a female mosquito carrying eggs and needed warm blood to mature its mosquito eggs. However, after the giant mosquito took off, it went mad, tumbling and rolling in the air as if in a frenzy. The little girl was thrown off, and she fainted in fear, tears streaming down her face. Her parents upstairs witnessed this scene and screamed in heartbreak:
“Baby—!!”
Smack!
The exhausted giant mosquito crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. However, a young man with dyed hair caught the little girl, holding her pressure point. When her family rushed down, the little girl had just woken up faintly frightened, crying and rushing into her mother’s arms.
“Thank you, thank you very much!”
The other party kept expressing his gratitude, but after looking at the young man’s face, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “It’s, it’s you?”
“Uncle, quickly take the child back; it’s not safe outside.”
The scruffy-looking young man waved his hand. The fearful cries of the daughter to ‘find Daddy’ attracted the attention of the man. After a series of thanks, the man hurriedly returned to the residential building with his wife and daughter. Standing at the door, he turned around and saw Huang Mao squatting beside the corpse of the giant mosquito. To his surprise, Huang Mao showed no fear, eagerly reaching out to fiddle with it.
“Thank you so much; we have to thank you.”
The woman’s face was tearful and incoherent. She touched her daughter’s tearful face and said, “If it weren’t for him, Qianqian, our Qianqian would probably… Old Hu, do you know who he is?”
He is…
The man remained silent. After work, the young people in their company often liked to go to bars for leisure, and he had been there a few times. That bar was the cleanest, and the person in charge was young and had dropped out of school early. However he was quite skilled and ruthless. He looked good, and students from surrounding universities often went to the bar, hoping to encounter him.
The man had seen him once by chance. This young man was with Huang Mao, who respectfully offered him a cigarette. Leaving the man with a first impression that, not only was the youth handsome, but he also had a pair of black wolf-like eyes, dark and indifferent.
However, the person who saved his daughter just now was obviously a good samaritan. How could he be a gangster’s underling?
“Brother Rong, Brother Rong, look at what I got!”
From afar, Huang Mao’s excited shouts could be heard. He ran to Wu Rong’s side, eagerly presenting what he held in his hands.
“Look, it’s such a big mutated mosquito egg!”

Well he is still an underling.
Haha, what a great harvest amidst the chaos..🤭
I guess Huang Mao will level up from small mosquitoes to….a big mosquito???? LOL I think it would be funny if all his level ups in the future were just bigger and bigger mosquitoes….. Thanks for the updates <3
fvck he better not gain any giant cockroaches, mosquitoes are ALREADY ENOUGH, I swear if he picks up any more mosquitos I’ll personally go to him and smack the sh!t out of that thing 😭😭💀
they work with insects, but Huang Mao is really a big golden retriever….
Thanks for the chapter!!!❤️❤️❤️
