I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 460 Self-mutilation and bloodletting to find out the truth

"Run!"

Zhang Qiling, Wu Tianzhen, and Xu Bayi tried their best to escape.

A cloud of red insects whizzed over from the sky and quickly approached the three people.

They seemed to have a special way of sensing living people and headed straight for the three people.

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of everyone in the archaeological team's camp.

Everyone picked up their weapons and looked vigilantly in the direction of the noise.

Then they saw Xu Bayi and his two companions suddenly rushing out from the end of the valley, with a deformed red cloud following in the sky behind them.

"Hide in the tent!"

"Seal all openings!"

Xu Bayi shouted from afar.

"Get in quickly!"

Yang Xueli and Wang Pangzi did not hesitate and immediately urged everyone to hide, trusting Xu Bayi's judgment without reservation.

The swarm sensed the presence of people in the camp and accelerated suddenly.

It actually passed the three running people and rushed straight towards the camp. In the blink of an eye, it was like a stream of red water pouring down from the sky.

Fortunately, Xu Bayi reminded them in time, and everyone hid in the tent first. They hurriedly zipped up the tent and blocked the gaps with clothes.

The swarm of insects hit the tent frantically, making crackling sounds like raindrops.

A few timid students screamed.

The fat man in the tent looked at the strange red insect outside with his eyes wide open.

He quickly warned loudly: "Don't let them touch you! This is the corpse turtle king, it is extremely poisonous, a sting can kill you!"

Everyone quickly separated the tent mesh and edges and huddled together in the middle to avoid being stung.

The swarm of insects attacked the tent for a while, but when they found it was useless, they changed direction and besieged Xu Bayi and the other two.

"What about Xu Bayi and the others?"

In the tent, Yang Xueli shouted anxiously, asking Fatty if he had any way to deal with this thing.

The fat man gritted his teeth and said that back then in the Prince of Lu’s Palace, it was just a corpse turtle king that almost wiped out more than a dozen of them.

There are at least tens of thousands of them outside now. Xu Bayi and the other three can only hope for the best.

Before Xu Bayi and the other two could find a place to hide, the cloud of insects turned back and surrounded them.

The expressions of the three people changed drastically in an instant.

"That's too late!"

The young man looked anxious. He pulled out a black knife and slashed his left arm hard. Blood immediately flowed out.

He swung his hands, splashing his blood all over Wu Tianzhen and Xu Bayi, and also scattered around them.

The cloud of insects whizzing in the sky seemed to hit an invisible layer of protection two meters away from the three people and suddenly turned back.

A vacuum area formed around the three people that the swarm of insects dared not approach.

The young man's body went limp, and the black knife stuck into the ground, supporting his body which was about to fall.

Wu Tianzhen and Xu Bayi hurried to assist him.

Looking at the young man's bloody left hand, blood flowing like a faucet that was not closed properly, Wu Tianzhen was extremely anxious, "Young man, you will die if you continue like this!"

"Can't die..."

Zhang Qiling still had an indifferent look on his face, not caring about his injuries.

Xu Bayi's face was solemn. "He must stop bleeding immediately, otherwise he will lose too much blood and cannot be saved."

He did not ask Zhang Qiling why he suddenly committed self-harm. The reactions of the poisonous insects around him had already shown that the blood of this cool young man had the magical effect of repelling insects.

"It can't stop the bleeding. There are too many bugs..."

Zhang Qiling said weakly, his face was pale and covered with sweat, obviously affected by the excessive blood loss.

Xu Bayi and Wu Tianzhen looked up and saw that the swarm of insects was constantly trying to get closer and tentatively shrink the encirclement. The safe space around the three people was getting smaller.

Xu Bayi's heart sank, and he made a prompt decision, "Quickly, let's carry the little brother into the tent now!"

The two of them worked together to carry Zhang Qiling, who had almost lost the ability to move, and rushed towards the archaeological team's tent.

buzzing.

The clouds of insects around them were like streams of red water, constantly rushing over and blocking the three people from moving forward.

The insect repellent effect of Zhang Qiling's blood was weakening, and the insect cloud was getting closer and closer to them.

Two meters, one and a half meters, one meter, half a meter...

Wu Tianzhen looked at the tent not far away with despair.

The distance of just a few dozen meters was like the chasm between life and death. If they continued like this, they would never reach the tent and would be devoured by the swarm of insects.

The people in the tent watched the three people struggling in the cloud of insects but were unable to help and cried out in anxiety.

Suddenly, the young man staggered, fell to the ground, and fainted.

"Bro!"

"Brother Zhang!"

The surrounding clouds of corpse turtle king insects seemed to have sensed something and suddenly rushed up from all directions, attacking the three people directly.

"Innocent!"

"Xu Bayi!"

Everyone in the tent screamed in fear.

Just as the three were about to be overwhelmed by the poisonous insects, the flying cloud of insects suddenly changed direction and turned to fly upwards.

Suddenly he gave up on his goal and flew back in the direction he came from.

After circling in the sky for a while, it fell back into the valley deep in the Devil City.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Xu Bayi and Wu Tianzhen looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What happened?

Why did those bugs suddenly leave?

"Xu Bayi, are you okay?"

"Tian Zhen, are you okay—"

"I'm fine! Hurry up and save the little brother!"

Everyone hurriedly carried the unconscious Zhang Qiling into the tent and gave him first aid.

Yang Xueli had excellent medical skills and Zhang Qiling had an excellent physique, so the condition soon stabilized. Although he was still in a coma, his breathing was steady and his vital signs were normal.

Wu Tianzhen and Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? Why did so many Corpse Turtle Kings suddenly appear?"

The fat man asked Wu Tianzhen hurriedly.

Wu Tianzhen shook his head and looked at Xu Bayi.

Xu Bayi also shook his head, "We don't know what happened either..."

Explain what the two of them had just experienced.

After hearing this, the fat man smacked his lips.

"Oh my goodness, could it be that Aning's gang dug up something they shouldn't have dug up and were completely wiped out?"

Wu Tianzhen felt that the fat man’s speculation was very likely.

This kind of thing is indeed very much like the style of Aning and his gang.

Xu Bayi glanced at the location where the insect cloud disappeared. After more than ten minutes, the insect cloud did not appear again, and the screams from the other side had long since disappeared. There was no more movement.

"Fatty, come with me to check the situation."

"Ah? Go over there? Isn't that courting death?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Judging from what happened just now, those bugs won't bother us in the short term. The rest of you stay in the camp, and hide in your tent if anything happens."

Wu Tianzhen volunteered, "I'll go with you!"

The fat man quickly expressed his opinion, "And me!"

Xu Bayi glanced at the two men with determined expressions and nodded.

Just in case, the four people took simple protective measures with scarves and goggles, put on two more layers of clothes, and rolled up their cuffs and trouser legs.

Pick up your weapon and head towards the location where the insect cloud erupted.

After walking about two kilometers and turning a mountain pass, the three people saw an open area in front of them. The scene before them was shocking.

Five or six tents were set up around the campfire. The camp was silent. The ground was full of corpses, more than a dozen in total. All the corpses were rotten and bloody, as if they had just been fished out of a sulfuric acid pool.

Some of the corpses had even liquefied, with even the bones turning into a pool of foul-smelling pus, leaving only intact clothing.

The scene was truly horrifying.
