Chapter 293

But if there were a zombie emperor, this place would probably have become a ghost town long ago. How could there still be traces of human habitation?

After pondering for only a short while, several eerie figures quickly approached the car.

As the distance closed, Lin Qianhuan looked at them carefully through the window, and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.

These people’s eyeballs had been completely devoured.

Their eye sockets were filled with a dense mass of wriggling mosquito larvae, constantly churning, and occasionally a few larvae would fall out.

Traces of various larvae activities were also outlined under their skin, sometimes bulging, then flattening, then bulging again…

Even having seen countless bloody and disgusting scenes, Lin Qianhuan couldn’t help but gag now.

These were not humans, nor were they zombies.

Instead, they were incubators for mosquito larvae.

They had long been eaten clean by the larvae, leaving only a soft, collapsed outer skin.

No wonder there was such a big difference compared to zombies.

Jiang Xing handed her a bottle of water to rinse her mouth, and also stuffed a mint candy into her mouth.

“Don’t look, sit down and rest for a while, they won’t come in.”

After speaking, he flicked his finger slightly, and all the commotion outside the car instantly turned to ashes.

Lin Qianhuan held the candy in her mouth, her face a little pale and weak. Xuan Yuan Ming rushed into the bathroom to vomit violently, while Xuan Yuan Ye was directly scared unconscious and remained in a coma.

“I really didn’t expect the mosquitoes and flies in Mingyu City to have developed to this point.

Using the human body as a breeding ground, they are constantly using flesh and blood to hatch their next generation.

The larvae grow rapidly, and can turn into adults in less than three days, continuing to choose new targets for laying eggs and parasitism.”

Thinking of the scene she had just seen, Lin Qianhuan gulped down a mouthful of water, barely suppressing the surging stomach acid.

Jiang Xing gently patted her back: “Should we drive away now?

The situation here is indeed not optimistic. Staying any longer might delay our trip.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded. Seeing her agree, Jiang Xing sat in the driver’s seat and started the ignition, but the RV didn’t respond at all.

“Is the car broken?”

He was a little puzzled. Lin Qianhuan frowned and sighed helplessly.

“I’m afraid those insects are playing tricks.

At that time, the entire RV was tightly wrapped by mosquitoes and insects, and it is estimated that the engine and exhaust pipe were not spared from this disaster.

Forget it, the gaps in the car have been sprayed with insect repellent, and these mosquitoes and insects can’t get in anyway.

Let’s just make do with staying in the car for one night tonight, and then drive away tomorrow when it’s light.”

There were too many mutated mosquitoes and insects in Mingyu City. If they killed one batch, another batch would come up.

Now there were still many menacing mutated mosquitoes surrounding the outside of the car. Lin Qianhuan didn’t want to take the risk, and planned to wait until dawn before making any plans.

Jiang Xing didn’t say much, just gently patted her back to help her breathe.

The night passed by nervously. The mosquitoes and insects outside the window seemed to be inexhaustible. The insect repellent could only keep them away from the RV, but they still stubbornly stayed three meters away, refusing to leave.

Jiang Xing used his supernatural ability to kill several waves, but the mutated mosquitoes would soon rush up one after another to replace the “predecessors’ positions.

All night, none of the four people slept well.

In a daze, dawn broke.

Lin Qianhuan opened her sore eyes and climbed out of bed. She opened the curtains and looked outside, but couldn’t even see a mosquito.

If it weren’t for the dense, compact marks on the outer wall of the window, she would have even thought that last night was just a dream.

After a simple wash, the four of them put on protective suits, sprayed on insect repellent, and carefully walked down from the RV.

The feeling under her feet was slightly loose. Lin Qianhuan looked down and saw that she was stepping on a pile of black dust.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Xing.

“Are they all mutated mosquitoes?”

The other party nodded: “Yes, there are a lot of them. After killing one batch, there is another batch. Slowly, the ashes piled up so high.”

Lin Qianhuan frowned slightly: “Were there any humanoid monsters later?”

“Yes, but only three batches came, and after I solved them, they never came again.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xuan Yuan Ming and Xuan Yuan Ye both understood the seriousness of the matter.

“Let’s leave now?

It’s too dangerous here, we definitely won’t be able to sleep well if we stay any longer.”

Lin Qianhuan naturally agreed. She didn’t plan to keep the RV filled with mosquito corpses. Anyway, there were countless vehicles parked in the space warehouse, and she wouldn’t feel bad about losing one.

She took out an off-road vehicle, and the four of them got in the car to leave, but were stopped by a group of people.

The leader was the man who had spoken to Lin Qianhuan yesterday evening.

She poked her head out, her face tinged with a bit of coldness.

“What do you mean by this, everyone?”

Afraid of Lin Qianhuan misunderstanding, the man waved his hands repeatedly: “Sorry, we have no malicious intentions.

But you four spent the night outdoors last night, or in the car, and actually survived.

We just want to ask you how you survived. We hope to learn from your experience.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled: “When it comes to experience, it should be you old residents who have more experience, right?

We are just newcomers, and we were only able to survive by luck. We can’t talk about experience, and there’s nothing for you to learn from.”

She didn’t plan to continue wasting time in Mingyu City.

This city was so strange and terrifying, and she didn’t want to be besieged by the larvae incubators again last night.

She was afraid she would throw up her stomach.

Seeing Lin Qianhuan refuse, the man quickly took a step forward and explained helplessly.

“It’s not that we’re stopping you from leaving, it’s that once you enter Mingyu City, no one can get out.”

Lin Qianhuan raised her eyebrows: “Why do you say that?”

“Because we are all petri dishes selected by the mutated mosquitoes, and they are necessities for the rapid reproduction and growth of their offspring.

You should have seen it last night, right? Those guys.”

The man gave a wry smile: “We have tried countless times to escape from this dead city, but there is no road leading to the outside world.

These mutated mosquitoes used their eggs to draw a closed circle.

No one can escape by any means, even if they rush out, they will be contaminated by the insect eggs and eventually become that kind of empty shell monster.”

Seeing that Lin Qianhuan still looked suspicious, the man didn’t say anything more.

“I know you won’t believe what I say.

Instead of suspecting me, why not go and see for yourself.

It’s not that we don’t want to leave, it’s that we really can’t leave.

If you plan to come back to understand the situation here, you can go to Hongbin Community to find me.

As long as you appear at the entrance of the community, I can see you.”

Lin Qianhuan frowned. She wouldn’t listen to the man’s one-sided story.

She started the car and randomly picked a road heading south, with the tall buildings on both sides of the road receding rapidly.

Mingyu City was a city surrounded by rivers on all sides. Before the apocalypse, it was a tourist attraction, but after the apocalypse, it became a happy home for mutated mosquitoes.

Lin Qianhuan saw that the dried riverbeds were filled with piled up “petri dishes”.

Countless corpses lay in place, with larvae constantly moving under their skin, and adults fluttering out tremblingly along their eye sockets.
