Chapter 38 - Messages
Over the years, Lu Chengming has certainly drunk raw water and eaten all kinds of strange things. He cannot guarantee that there are no parasites in his body.
No one has studied zombie ironworms, so naturally they don’t know how long it can lie in their bodies, and when it will attack.
"The potion I gave can be further tested...but...it may be like the person before, and it may be out of control...I don't want to do this..." Jiang Ying fell silent after saying this.
Lu Chengming and Su Yujun were also silent.
After a long time, Lu Chengming chuckled, "I will not take medicine or be isolated for the time being. I have to go out."
Su Yurong hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Chengming said: "Go to find the Tyronworm people and ask for information."
Apparently, he tried to find a way to remove zombie nematodes from the Tyronworms, which is the only way at present.
Su Yujun took a deep breath and said, "I'll go with you."
"No." Lu Chengming shook his head.
"No, you're still having a fever, I have to accompany you." Su Yurong looked firm.
Lu Chengming said: "This little fever has no effect... don't go, it's very dangerous outside."
"No." Su Yurong bit her lip, "Leaving you is the most dangerous..."
Lu Chengming was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay... I have known each other for a while, and I haven't driven to take you to the car..."
Jiang Ying pursed her lips, wanted to speak but stopped, watching the two of them leave.
Lu Chengming had dressed up his equipment and found Su Yujun a cloak, then drove an all-terrain motorcycle to the Dongzhimen Tower.
Although he had a fever, he still drove steadily with his strong willpower and physical fitness.
Su Yurong sat in the back seat, without saying anything along the way, just hugging Lu Chengming tightly.
Arrived at the destination soon.
Near the city tower, the trees have been cut down and the ground is full of simple houses built with trunks and thatch.
Hundreds of Tyronworms gathered here, staring at the motorcycle with surprise.
When Lu Chengming saw the army of insects, he felt deeply uneasy and couldn't help but worry about the future of mankind.
The Tyronworms are more adapted to this apocalypse. Humans have no advantage over them and are completely at a disadvantage in the competition.
Once the insects completely occupy this land, it is probably difficult for humans to survive...
General Wen Dongdong was not found, but only the familiar female insect man, Nian Qianqian.
"Hello, my friend Xiao Ming!" Nian Qianqian was still very friendly. "The general is going to besiege the 10th bunker you mentioned, and may not be able to come back in the short term."
Fighting directly?
The 010 bunker is the largest and most sturdy bunker in Jingzhou. It has multiple alloy gates and a small fortress at the entrance.
With the military strength of the Tyronworms, they should not be able to attack.
Lu Chengming was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
Nian Qianqian replied proudly: "The Bronze Man's allies are our enemies! The general set up an ambush around the bunker, and the enemies who came out to collect food were killed by us. Oh, and some slaves were also captured. Now the enemy has been besieged by us for three days and will never dare to come out again."
It turned out that the insect man did not attack forcefully, but adopted the siege tactic.
If there is no source of food, I'm afraid the people in the 010 bunker will not last long.
Lu Chengming asked again: "Where is the captured slave? I want to see it."
"Tie it there, come with me." Nian Qianqian took the way very happily and led them to the middle of a pile of thatched huts.
There were several stakes standing on the open space, and eight ordinary humans were tied with hemp ropes.
They are all men, all covered in bruises and half dead.
"We need to teach these slaves a lesson before they can completely surrender." Nian Qianqian explained with a smile, "If you die, it means you are not strong enough, so it's better not to."
The Tyronworms are indeed cruel and inhumane... Lu Chengming couldn't help but frown.
"Stop worrying about them..." Su Yurong whispered, "Ask you first..."
"I'll just ask a few words." Lu Chengming said, walked forward and asked the prisoners: "What's going on inside the 010 bunker now? How many people are there?"
He wants to try his best to eliminate future hidden dangers for his teammates when he is still normal.
"Save us...Save us..." These prisoners quickly asked for help when they saw their kind.
Lu Chengming said coldly: "Answer the question first."
A lesser-injured prisoner replied: "There are more than 150 people in the bunker, but there is not much food, so we came out to collect food... If this continues, people will starve to death..."
Lu Chengming asked again: "Where is Lei Xiong?"
"I don't know..." The captive cried, "We people usually can't see Lei Xiong... Save us..."
Lu Chengming sighed, turned around and walked towards Nian Qianqian, and asked, "Friend, there is a parasite like a black thread that can control other insects and even corpses, do you know?"
Nian Qianqian nodded: "I know, we call it, the corpse demon insect."
"So, if there is such a bug in your body..." Lu Chengming looked serious, "Is there a treatment?"
"Well... I can't say that this is a secret within our clan." Nian Qianqian replied.
Lu Chengming noticed that Nian Qianqian was wearing two gold earrings, so he took out a heavy gold bar from his bag and handed it out, "Friend, a gift for friendship for you."
Nian Qianqian's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed the gold bar and stuffed it into his arms.
"You are a good friend of our Tyron clan and my good friend! Let me tell you, it doesn't matter!" Nian Qianqian immediately changed his words.
No matter whether civilization is developed or not, money is always omnipotent...
"The wizards of the Kern clan know how to eliminate corpse demon insects. However, we cannot deal with the Kern people. That is a betrayal of the clan and we will be punished..." Nian Qianqian lowered his voice, "The wizards of Kern are very dangerous. I advise you, it is best not to contact them... They will not help you..."
It turned out that the Tyrons had no way to deal with parasites and had to find the dangerous Kerns.
But that sinister centipede man is really hard to trust...
Lu Chengming asked again: "Do you know the whereabouts of Kern?"
Nian Qianqian shook his head.
I thought she didn't know, otherwise the two sides would have fought long ago.
Lu Chengming sighed secretly, took out a few gold coins and stuffed them to Nian Qianqian, "I bought those human slaves. But I won't take them away. I'll put them on your side first. Please help me watch, can you?"
Nian Qianqian took the gold coins and was stunned for a while, asking, "What should I do if I put it on my side?"
Lu Chengming said: "Whatever you want, just don't starve them to death."
"Okay, my friend, no problem!" Nian Qianqian had received enough money anyway, so he happily agreed.
Lu Chengming looked at Su Yurong again and said, "Let's go."
The two walked back to the motorcycle, and Su Yujun asked softly: "What should we do next? Where can I find Kern?"
"If you don't look for it, you probably won't find it." Lu Chengming smiled faintly, "Send you home first, and then I have to move faster... try to help you solve all the troubles."
