Extreme Cold Apocalypse: My Shelter is Full of Beautiful Women

Chapter 37 Fire Net? Sky Net!

It struggled frantically in mid-air, its wings flapping, its six legs kicking wildly, and its carapace began to turn red, black, and crack under the light of the sacred fire.

call.

In the blink of an eye, the cockroach was ignited by the sacred flame.

In just a few moments, it was burned to ashes.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Only Le Wuyou's rapid breathing and Qi Rushuang's pounding heartbeat could be heard.

"What...what is that thing?"

Le Wuyou's voice trembled. She climbed up from the sofa, shrank into the corner, and stared intently at the gap in the baseboard.

"Cockroaches? Those are cockroaches? Why are there cockroaches? It's minus sixty degrees outside! Shouldn't they have frozen to death long ago?!"

Qi Rushuang leaned against Ye Yan's chest, her chest heaving.

But she was much calmer than Le Wuyou.

I can only say that he truly deserves to be called a teacher.

"It's not an ordinary cockroach."

She stared at the crack with a serious expression.

"Its size, flight ability, and cold resistance are all beyond the normal range."

She paused, then looked up at Ye Yan.

"There are two possibilities: someone is using sequence abilities to control them, or to create them."

At this point, Qi Rushuang hesitated.

Because if this conjecture is true, then their human survival will be even more difficult!

"second"

Ye Yan revealed what Qi Rushuang was thinking.

"It's not just humans and snow wolves; all living things are mutating."

"Mutation—" Le Wuyou's face turned even paler. "Does that mean there will be mutated mosquitoes, mutated rats, and more mutations in the future?"

"Stop talking," Ye Yan interrupted her, his tone indifferent.

He helped Qi Rushuang sit down on the sofa, squatted down, and peeked through the crack.

It was very quiet inside.

But a faint, putrid smell wafted from the depths of the dark pipes.

He stood up and dusted off his knees.

"It's alright now."

"Are you alright?"

Le Wuyou's voice rose eight octaves.

"That was such a huge cockroach! It could fly! What if it bites me? What if it crawls into my mouth while I'm sleeping tonight?"

"Don't you shut up when you sleep?"

"Ye Yan!"

Ye Yan ignored her outburst, turned around and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out a rolled-up sheet of paper.

The parchment was pale yellow, with a faint golden sheen at the edges.

He unfolded it on the coffee table. The drawing was covered with dense lines and markings, and its outline was a disc-shaped object, like some kind of device embedded in the wall.

Le Wuyou leaned closer, forgetting her fear, and frowned as she looked at it for a long time: "What is this?"

"Fire Eyes".

Ye Yan tapped his finger on the drawing.

"It sticks to the wall. Covers a ten-meter range. Automatically detects tiny life forms and kills them with a flame pulse. Effective against cockroaches, mosquitoes,..."

Things like rats work.

Le Wuyou's eyes widened.

"Automatic? Detection? Kill? No human intervention required?"

"Need not."

"Just stick it on the wall?"

"Just stick it on the wall."

Le Wuyou gasped, the fear on her face vanishing, replaced by the excited gleam of someone seeing something good.

"This is too much—"

""

"Good stuff, huh?" Ye Yan's lips curled up slightly.

"Great!" Le Wuyou nodded vigorously. "If these sell, they'll definitely sell like hotcakes! Just look at the group chat, it'll be full of people crying and complaining. Everyone has a few cockroaches at home!"

She grabbed her phone and opened the neighborhood group chat.

really.

The group chat has exploded.

[OMG! I have a cockroach in my house too! It's huge! Bigger than the crack in the door!]

[My mom was bitten! The wound is turning black! What should I do?!]

[Building 3 too! The whole building has them! Where did these things come from?!]

Why are there cockroaches?! It's -60 degrees Celsius outside! Are they some kind of superhuman?!

Help! There are three creepers crawling on my ceiling! I'm too scared to sleep!

The messages flooded the screen, each one filled with extreme panic.

Those mutated cockroaches are far faster and more aggressive than the average person can handle.

You can kill an ordinary cockroach with a slipper.

But whether you can kill this palm-sized thing by slapping it is one thing, whether it will bite you back is another.

What's even more frightening is the sheer number of them.

One or two are manageable, but when they surge out from every crevice, ordinary people are powerless to fight back.

What should I do? Are there any effective insecticides?

[I tried it! It looks like it's been given a bath after being sprayed with regular insecticide!]

[Fire! I burned two to death with a lighter! But it was too slow; after I burned one, three more appeared!]

Help! Help!

Looking at these messages, Le Wuyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ye Yan, you saw that? The whole group is crying for help. Launching Fire Eye at this time is absolutely..." "I know."

Ye Yan picked up her phone, opened the neighborhood group chat, and typed rapidly on the screen.

[Ye Yan: I can solve the cockroach problem.]

The group chat was quiet for a moment.

Then it exploded even more violently.

【What?! Lord Ye, you have a solution?!】

Tell me quickly, what's the solution?

How much? Just tell me!

I'll pay any price to get rid of this monstrosity!

Ye Yan smiled slightly and slowly typed out a line of text:

【Fire Eye. Simply stick it on the wall; it covers a 10-meter radius, automatically detects cockroaches and other tiny life forms, and kills them with a flame pulse.】

Price: 10 flints per piece.

The group chat fell silent again.

It wasn't a hesitant silence, but a silence born of disbelief.

Ten flints? Just ten flints?

[Really? You just stick it on and don't need to do anything? It automatically kills?]

Lord Ye, you're not joking, are you?

[By the way, I remember buying a fire-starter before; it could be used to keep warm from time to time, right?]

Ye Yan: "That's right."

[I want it! I want it! I'll transfer the money right away! Apartment 302, Building 8, can you come and install it first? My ceiling is infested with cockroaches!]

Ye Yan added another sentence slowly and deliberately:

[Come and take it yourself; just stick it on the wall.]

After sending this message, Ye Yan turned off his phone and waited for Huoshi to arrive.

I was thrilled.

He never expected that the sudden appearance of the cockroach would help him push the fire eye out.

That's absolutely fantastic.

If it really was done by a person.

Ye Yan should thank them, no matter what.

Qi Rushuang didn't speak, but just looked at her phone screen with a slight frown.

She wasn't thinking about money or any kind of flint.

She was thinking about what Ye Yan had just said.

"Automatically detects cockroaches within a ten-meter range and eliminates them with a flame pulse."

A range of ten meters.

Detection.

wipe out.

When these three words are put together, she reads them in a way that is different from what others say.

What she read out was...

Monitor. Overwrite. Clear.

If the FireEye can detect cockroaches, can it detect humans?

able?

cannot?

Ye Yan didn't say anything.

But Qi Rushuang knew that, given Ye Yan's personality, if he could let the Fire Eye detect people, he definitely would.

This is not an insecticide.

This is Skynet.

An invisible net spread across every building, every floor, and every wall.

By the time the news reached the other forum members, it was already 5 a.m.

Liu the Blind leaned against the stairwell of Building 3, helping his men brush off the last few cockroaches from their bodies, his eyes full of disgust.

"Blind Brother — that Ye Yan, what kind of fire eye did he get? It can burn all the cockroaches to death."
