insect?

A thought flashed through Shenhe's mind, too fast to grasp.

The world is becoming more and more absurd.

The once dominant human race has gradually weakened, while the insects that could once be crushed with a single step have grown larger and larger, and have made humans their food source.

It's almost become a dominant force.

But it doesn't matter, he has the system backing him up!

He walked to the open space on the rooftop, glanced back at Li Yuetong, who was happily munching on a chicken leg, her complexion at least regaining some color.

As if by telepathy, she happened to look up at him and gave him a soft smile, and Shenhe's lips unconsciously turned up as well.

Turning his head, his smile vanished, and he focused his attention, using his spatial abilities to lock onto Zhang Ran and Tang Dashan's marks.

"Buzz—"

A large amount of silver light poured out from his eyes and landed on the open ground in front of him.

"Ran-ge, to the left, to the left!"

"Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da! Da da da da!"

"Don't yell! I can see you!"

"I'll yell! Quick! Brother Ran! There's one bigger one above our heads!"

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

"You fat bastard! Don't shoot me in the head! I'm not going to be bitten to death by bugs, I'm going to be burned to death by you!"

Before Tang Dashan and Zhang Ran could even appear, their shouts and the intense gunfire echoed across the rooftop, drawing the attention of Li Yuetong and the other two women who were whispering to each other.

As the silver light disappeared, their figures appeared fully before everyone.

Zhang Ran sat on the ground with his legs stretched out in front of him, holding a rifle in one hand and firing at the target, while holding a powerful flashlight in the other.

His appearance was far worse than Li Yuetong's. He was soaked from head to toe, covered in transparent mucus, his hair was plastered upside down on his head, and he reeked of a foul odor.

Tang Dashan stood behind him, one hand grabbing Zhang Ran by the back of his neck and dragging him backward, the other holding a gun with the muzzle just above Zhang Ran's head, constantly spitting fire.

A large number of spent cartridge cases fell into Zhang Ran's collar, and even the usually mild-mannered Zhang Ran screamed in pain from the heat.

His appearance was alright, similar to Li Yuetong's, except he had more insect blood on his body.

Two seconds after the gunshots rang out, the two men belatedly realized that something was wrong and stopped firing. They gasped for breath and stared around, looking around.

"What's going on? Did we time travel? Where are we? This looks familiar?" Tang Dashan was completely bewildered.

Zhang Ran didn't reply or even look at his surroundings. He reached into his collar and pulled out several still-warm bullet casings.

Tang Dashan turned his head and met Shenhe's expressionless face. Looking to the side, he saw his sister-in-law there too!

And Li Wanning and Xia Yuxuan too!

Did they... go home?

Tang Dashan, his tension instantly released, collapsed onto the roof, his eyes glazed over. After a moment, he crawled on the ground towards Shenhe, crying out, "Big brother! You must have brought us back! You saved our lives again! My dear big brother—!"

He crawled over, hugged Shenhe's leg and shook him, crying out excitedly, "If it weren't for you, Ran-ge and I would have turned into bug poop, boohoo—!"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Ran turned around and saw the familiar rooftop and people. He let out a long sigh of relief, then simply lay back, sprawled out on the ground, too lazy to even speak.

Li Wanning got up and ran to her husband's side. Just as she was about to speak, she covered her mouth and gagged. After gagging a few times, she finally calmed down, and her eyes welled up with tears from the discomfort.

"Are you injured? Why are you so dirty?"

"Sister Ning, don't even mention it. Hurry up and take Ran home to wash him. He was swallowed by a big earthworm, with only his two legs sticking out. It was the great Fatty Tang who pulled him out with a lot of effort."

Tang Dashan, with Shenhe's legs draped over his shoulders, sat sideways on the rooftop, making a flamboyant comment about Zhang Ran.

"Thank you, Brother Dashan."

"Hey! We're family, no problem, no problem."

Li Wanning thanked Tang Dashan, then looked at Zhang Ran with heartache and reached out to wipe the sticky substance off his face.

Do you have any news about the Lin sisters?

Shenhe used the system to check the two people and found that there was no risk of them turning into zombies, so he asked.

Zhang Ran sat up, wiped his face, and said in a serious tone, "No. It's impossible to walk underground. There are mutated insects everywhere. The moment your foot touches the ground or makes a sound, a bunch of them immediately crawl out."

The tunnels were like a maze, with countless branching paths; it was impossible to tell where they had been taken.

He spoke calmly, but the malice hidden in his words was obvious to anyone with eyes to see.

Shenhe's heart sank further. He didn't ask anything more, took out two bottles of stamina recovery potion from his spatial storage, gave one to the fat man, and tossed the other to Zhang Ran.

Knowing the value of this item, neither of them opened it or drank it immediately.

"Brother, we can just go back and rest. There's no need to drink this precious stuff."

Zhang Ran held the bottle, finding solace in his heart.

Following his older brother around, they ate nine meals in three days and all of them got fat. Shenhe was never stingy with his own people.

Tang Dashan nodded, "I'm just tired after two days, a bit exhausted. I'll be fine after a couple of days of sleep."

Shenhe waved his hand, "Drink it, then go back and rest. Don't suffer for nothing."

Hearing Shenhe say this, the two stopped being coy. They had already given their lives to Shenhe, so what difference would two bottles of medicine make? They had already entrusted their lives and fortunes to Shenhe.

As soon as the medicine was taken, the fatigue in their bodies began to dissipate. It was the first time the two of them had drunk this stuff, and they both felt it was incredibly magical and were even more shocked.

Just moments ago, Li Wanning was supporting Zhang Ran, but now it's Zhang Ran carefully supporting his pregnant wife.

Seeing that Zhang Ran and his wife had left, and Tang Dashan also had to leave, Xia Yuxuan was left alone as a third wheel.

"Sister Tongtong, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go boil some water for you. You can take a bath and then take a nap."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoyu."

Li Yuetong smiled gently at Xia Yuxuan.

"I'm willing!" Xia Yuxuan stood up, holding a bunch of dirty wet wipes, and looked at Tang Dashan, who was still sitting under Shenhe's legs. "Go pump the water for me."

"Hey! A girl's here!"

Tang Dashan quickly jumped up from the ground and followed Xia Yuxuan downstairs with a silly look on his face.

Shenhe came to Li Yuetong's side, stretched out his hand, and said, "Let's go check on Lin Zhien and the others in their room."

"Um."

Li Yuetong grabbed his hand and stood up.

……

The bedroom of the Lin sisters was in a mess.

The bed and furniture in the bedroom were broken into pieces and lying on one side. In the middle of the living room, a huge hole with a diameter of nearly three meters stood quietly.

Shenhe stepped onto the earthen mound beside the cave and looked down. It was pitch black and he couldn't see where the bottom was, but a foul-smelling, cold air was blowing out from inside.

"Aaaaaah~"

Li Yuetong yawned, looking blankly at the cave entrance, and said with a worried tone, "That evening, everyone had just finished dinner and went back to their rooms."

Not long after, a loud bang was heard, and the ground shook. We thought it was an earthquake.

Everyone ran into the yard, but I couldn't see Ji-eun and Sung-ran. I felt something was wrong, so I came to look for them, and this is what I saw here; they were nowhere to be seen.
