Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 148 How is this possible? The dance competition is cancelled! (Please continue reading)
As temperatures gradually drop, the demands on soldiers' overall skills become even higher.

Without superpowers, it's impossible to sustain combat in the wild.

Cao Lei is now a fourth-level ability user, leading a special forces team to wipe out a certain insect nest.

Insect nests are a recently discovered type of unusual location.

Instead of hunting other creatures for food, large numbers of insects gather underground.

Examples include garages, air-raid shelters, and underground supermarkets.

The sickle worm and the two-tailed scorpion gathered together and were eaten by the sonic worm, excreting a sticky paste.

The entire nest was covered in it.

So far, this is all the official information we have about the nest.

Cao Lei's goal for this trip was to find out exactly what this nest was used for.

Inside the pit, insects were clearly emerging in a steady stream, so this nest was probably not used for mass insect breeding. Therefore, its purpose should be further investigated.

Under the barrage of fire, the insects outside the nest were completely wiped out.

Cao Lei first sent two drones inside, turned on the lights, and checked the situation.

Inside, they found some insects guarding an egg, but they hadn't come out.

Cao Lei immediately sent her two third-tier mutated beasts into the area to begin the slaughter.

After thoroughly eliminating the insects inside, she did not rush in, but instead had two mutated beasts carry the egg out.

One concern was that the gas inside might be toxic, and the other was that the environment inside was simply disgusting.

She didn't want to go in.

The egg was brought to the ground, but it was still shrouded in black mist.

The egg is about one meter tall, purplish-red in color, and has some vein-like patterns on it.

Cao Lei turned on the live streaming camera.

The situation was reported to Fang Qiankun, the chief of the Xishan base, and instructions were requested.

Fang Qiankun spoke:

"Keep your personnel away, point the camera at the egg, and then send out a two-tailed scorpion to open it."

They purchased so many beast-taming rings in order to control the mutated beasts and insects and thus reduce their own losses.

Fang Qiankun cherished every single soldier.

At this point, it is most appropriate to let the controlled two-tailed scorpion take risks.

A two-tailed scorpion, under the control of a soldier, stepped forward and forcefully tore the egg open with its two pincers.

A large amount of pus flowed out, and a pool of blurry substance fell out.

Upon seeing what was inside, Fang Qiankun, who was watching the live stream, immediately stood up from his chair.

"How can this be!?"

He then immediately issued the order.

"Don't move. I'll contact the other base commanders immediately for a meeting."

His tone was very serious, and he even emphasized it again.

"Remember my orders, none of you move!"

Fang Qiankun quickly dialed the phone numbers of the commanders of major bases such as Kyoto Base and Pearl Base, and initiated an emergency video conference.

As he sent the video and photos to everyone, the expressions of all those present became serious.

The atmosphere became incredibly tense.

On the other side, on the luxury cruise ship, the atmosphere was very lively.

The dance competition has just featured performances by the "Fluttering Dance" and "Chasing the Light" groups. Only eight people have finished performing: Shi Xueqi, Zheng Jingyi, Ding Nannan, Wen Wanqing, Su Baitao, Yan Chenchen, Yun Yishan, and Tian Wei.

There were still many people and groups waiting for him to evaluate them one by one. After announcing the names of two groups, Xia Qingmei was quite familiar with the process.

Seeing that the previous group had finished performing, he quickly went on stage and said with a smile:

"Thank you for the wonderful performance by the Chasing Light Group. Next, please welcome the third group, the Urban Enchantress group, consisting of Fang Yixue, Peng Huilan, Teng Qiuyan, and Bai Zhihui!"

The lights changed, and the curtain was drawn back.

Four elegant and mature women, dressed in well-tailored floor-length evening gowns, walked out slowly.

Peng Huilan wore a royal blue velvet dress, exuding an elegant and graceful air; Teng Qiuyan wore a modified moon-white cheongsam, looking as cool and aloof as the moon; Fang Yixue wore a smart silver-gray suit and trousers, looking sharp and capable; Bai Zhihui wore a pink tulle dress, appearing gentle and charming.

A lawyer, a flight attendant, a jewelry salesperson, and a literary editor.

All four are outstanding professional women.

To the languid strains of jazz, their movements are elegant and restrained, and their eye contact conveys a sense of story.

A casual glance back reveals a captivating charm.

Finally, the four of them stood back to back, turned to look at Lu Zheng, and Bai Zhihui used her personal space to release a large number of flower petals above their heads.

This further highlights the elegance and nobility of the four individuals.

It doesn't have grand, sweeping strokes, yet it's full of charm, like a meticulously composed masterpiece.

Lu Zheng still gave it a very high rating.

"Great! Excellent! It perfectly captures the elegant style of a modern urban woman! I love it!"

He led the applause and saw several people off the stage.

Xia Qingmei felt her palms were a little sweaty. These women all had a strong aura, which made her, who was originally a strong woman, feel a little ordinary and confident.

She continued her broadcast.

"Next up is a duo performance, please enjoy the pole dance, performed by Yao Qiaoqiao and Lü Yatong."

It was Lu Yatong who said she wanted to learn pole dancing from Yao Qiaoqiao, which led Tao Yingshi to suggest starting a dance competition.

Lu Zheng was really looking forward to the dance.

The lights suddenly dimmed and focused, and the silver steel pipe in the center of the stage gleamed under the spotlight.

A dynamic, slightly mysterious rhythm began, and Yao Qiaoqiao and Lü Yatong appeared.

Their appearance on stage, dressed in tight-fitting dance costumes that showcased strength and curves, brought a completely different visual impact.

Unlike the previous elegant "urban allure," pole dancing now exudes a hot, powerful, and skillful beauty.

As the more experienced party, Yao Qiaoqiao first demonstrated her strength.

With a fluid pull-up, her body gracefully rotated around the bar, her legs stretching out beautiful lines in the air, her slender figure clinging to the cold steel pipe, as supple and powerful as a snake.

Every slide, inversion, and arm extension is accompanied by a strong sense of rhythm, with precise and explosive movements.

Lü Yatong coordinated with her, sometimes intertwining and entwining around the same pole like twin vines; sometimes standing on two parallel steel pipes, simultaneously completing the connection between the ground and the air, demonstrating the perfect combination of female strength and flexibility.

When the music abruptly stopped at its climax, Yao Qiaoqiao finished with an extremely difficult aerial split, her body taut and full of power.

Meanwhile, Lü Yatong below her used a flexible ground movement to stay still, creating a tense still image.

Lu Zheng clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, I really like this move. Let's study it together sometime when we have the chance."

Fourteen people have performed so far, but this number is still less than half of Lu Zheng's women.

The performances of the four groups were outstanding, each with its own unique characteristics, and each individual's performance was also excellent.

Lu Zheng felt his eyes had been healed; there was still so much beauty in this world.

Just as Xia Qingmei was about to announce the next group of participants, Lu Zheng suddenly frowned and then waved his hand.

"The match is suspended and postponed until tomorrow night or further postponed. The officials have contacted me about something."

"Professor Nan, Professor Gu, you two change your clothes and come with me to the Xishan base."
