Chapter 59: Giant Insects Assault

 

On the day Ling Xuan comes back, Ling Yaoyao has to go to class.

Usually, in the afternoon lab class, Ling Yaoyao would cook more and have it for dinner with Mr. Cai, her senior brother Cai Mubai, and her senior sister Ran Ning before leaving school.

But on this day, as soon as the end of class approached, Ling Yaoyao uncharacteristically began to clean up her experimental cooking table and took off her apron.

Today, her course is to try to process low-level meat ingredients mentally. Although the effect is not very good, it is not too bad either.

In the future, Ling Yaoyao doesn't need to rely solely on vegetarian ingredients as auxiliary materials. The auxiliary therapy effect and level of her cooking can be improved a lot.

Old Cai watched Ling Yaoyao take care of her mental energy, put the marinated beef away, and put it in the food box. He felt it was strange and asked, "Your cute blood vine pet is not here today, so you won't have dinner here? Oh, I still want to eat the boiled beef slice you made!"

Even though Mr. Cai is a very good master, but he is also a complete glutton. He will not miss any of his quasi-apprentice's delicious food and is also addicted to spicy food.

Ling Yaoyao is not busy at ordinary times, so she happily honors her master. But she will not indulge him when she has something else to do. "I have something to do today. You had watched me cook, so do it by yourself! Otherwise, Fu Ying, my food therapy shop manager, had learned it all. Your old mouth is so picky, so you should think more about your cooking skills!"

Old Cai was poked in his painful spot. "...you stinky girl, you are the only one who dares to find fault in my cooking. Aren't I doing much better now... well, I will try the boiled beef later."

Ling Yaoyao then pointed to the codfish soup in the stew pot next to her and said, "This is for Erbai. It's not spicy at all. So you should eat less."

The last sentence exposed the shameless behavior of Master Cai Youhong, who always grabbed food with his pet.

Old Cai choked speechlessly and said in a small voice, "...Why do you have to say this? I am your master, and Er Bai is not your pet... You are too partial!"

Ling Yaoyao thought about it seriously and said honestly, "...probably because Erbai looks cuter than you?"

Grandmaster Cai, who prides himself on being a gentle, suave, and handsome uncle, is so angry. How could his charm be no better than a cat? It was only until Ling Yaoyao was gone he suddenly figured it out—wait, his wayward little disciple, who was good at cooking, was already willing to let him eat with his pet cat Erbai. So why bother to be more "Lovely" than Erbai?

After Ling Yaoyao picked up the baby blood vine, she drove the luxury speed car from Wei Yuan to the off-campus apartment that Grandpa Ling gave her.

It only takes ten minutes on the road, passing by the busiest commercial street on the military campus.

When he arrived at the high-end residential area in the suburbs, Ling Yaoyao showed her homeowner identity in the scanner outside the high-voltage protective wall and went in unhindered. According to the map navigation, she found her small western-style two-story villa with a small garden.

Because Ling Yaoyao turned on the robot butler remotely in advance, the house has now been cleaned up. The ingredients she ordered were also delivered to the house through the express delivery channel.

She began to prepare dinner.

Chinese-style steak, cola chicken wings, sweet and sour pork ribs, Hakka stuffed tofu, fish-flavored rice white, and a pumpkin soup.

When the dishes were ready, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. In order to prevent the dishes from getting cold, Ling Yaoyao first put them in the insulated food box.

Ling Xuan said that he could arrive at six or seven o'clock, and it is now seven o'clock!

If it's a pure brother-sister relationship like before, Ling Yaoyao definitely can't wait and will call his communication device while yelling, "Brother, hurry up. I'll be hungry if I wait any longer." However, now, the relationship between the two is in an ambiguous period. She couldn't act so comfortably...

She was afraid that if she called him, that guy would interpret it as "Do you really want to see me so soon?"

Ling Yaoyao sat on the sofa and peeled pumpkin seeds while carelessly watching the news on the holographic projection screen.

The baby blood vine is sitting on the sofa next to her while slowly gnawing on pet biscuits specially used for grinding molar teeth of the alien plant pets. It can't understand why its master does not eat the pumpkin seeds peeled by the robot and why she often looks at the table's communication device and at the door.

"The following is urgent news. Everyone in the Imperial Capital Star Military Campus must pay attention! Giant insects had appeared around the teaching area and the living area of ​​the Military Campus, and the commercial street twenty minutes ago. Eight insects, ranging from S-level to A-level, have been found. Major General Ling Xuan has disposed of three on the spot, and the patrol has arrived at the scene. So far, three people have been seriously injured, and ten people have been slightly injured. Teachers and students, don't go out. Stay inside the house nearby or take shelter if you are outside. Call the police as soon as possible if you encounter a Zerg..."

Ling Yaoyao froze for a moment and quickly opened the report to check the details of the scene.

Then she saw the tall and cool figure of Mecha "Lingyun" fighting a giant...mantis who is seven or eight meters tall over the very familiar downtown area!

Ling Yaoyao's heart was slammed to the ground. Although she knew that with Ling Xuan's SSS-level strength, it should not be difficult to deal with the S-level Zerg, it is hard to guarantee that there is no hidden danger, or any Zergs more than S-level!

The Zergs can invade the Imperial Capital by a spatial leap. But in the original novel "The Legend of Huanuo," it shouldn't happen until two or three months later, near the end of the semester.

She thought that the hundred-year Zerg tide had already receded, but who knew that the Zerg had evolved new abilities. They learned to build wormholes to teleport to places with a lot of humans. These giant insects are just advanced troops.

The large wave of Zergs who moved into space is a precursor that the Huanuo Empire had fallen into a new war. It was also because of this wave of Zergs that Xiao Ming entered the army in advance and began to show extraordinary military talent.

Could it be said that a butterfly effect caused by some links is different from the original novel because of her arrival? For example, Ling Xuan, who was supposed to be stationed on the border to sweep the aftermath of the Zerg race, was transferred back in early September.

Ling Yaoyao's heart suddenly became anxious. She fears that the Ling family would still be in a catastrophic disaster because of her arrival, but different from the novel.

The smooth wind ahead made Ling Yaoyao almost forget that this interstellar world was not a peaceful age. Otherwise, the status of combatants and auxiliary therapists would not be so lofty.

The "Legend of Huanuo" novel has repeatedly suggested that the Zergs attack this time was premeditated and artificial, but who knows if later the author himself forgot about it. Until the novel's end, he didn't write who caused the attacks. It was only emphasized that Xiao Ming took the opportunity to build merits and develop his influence, and he would become famous when the Zergs tide subsided four years later.

 

Ling Yaoyao was in a panic, but the baby blood vine 012 was very excited. It said with its cute baby voice, "Ah, master, it's delicious! Such big meat, so powerful. It must have plenty of energy... I want to go out and eat it... I feel like I will be able to advance to Level 5 soon!"

Ling Yaoyao was shocked. '...Such a big and disgusting group of insects is actually delicious food in the eyes of baby blood vine?!'

But Ling Yaoyao thought about it carefully. Some delicacies in certain cultures also use insects meat. For example, fried bamboo worms, fried bee pupae, etc...

Once you accept the concept of "Insect meat is high protein, high energy, rich and tender meat," that giant praying mantis doesn't look so disgusting!

Ling Yaoyao said, "No, you are too young now. You can't beat the giant insects even if you go out. What if you were eaten by the other party?"

Baby blood vine 012's branches and leaves are swaying, looking very excited. "No, they are not vegetarian. I want to go out. Eat, eat... eat, eat... a lot of meat!"

Ling Yaoyao: ...

After she saw that 012 was so persistent, and Ling Yaoyao was also very worried about Ling Xuan, she remembered her SS-level mental power. The speeding car from Wei Yuan also has S-level defense, and she also brought her blood vine alien plant. Even if they encounter giant insects, self-protection should be no problem.

Ling Yaoyao quickly left the community with 012. She got on the speeding car and cautiously approached the area mentioned in the news. She ignored the news report reminding everyone to stay away from the Zerg infestation.

Soon, near the civilian residential area, they saw the first giant insect.

Maybe because it's relatively suburban, or maybe because the zerg was just teleported not long ago, the patrolling army has not rushed over to attack it. Only five or six adult and student combatants engage in tentative battles with the insect. They seem a little lacking in strength.

Even though the distance was still hundreds of meters away, Ling Yaoyao was still a little flustered and fearful in her heart when she saw the giant praying mantis with a height of seven or eight meters.

012 attached itself to the transparent bulletproof glass of the car window, desperately trying to go out. Ling Yaoyao poked its branches and leaves and solemnly said, "You must come back as soon as possible if you can't beat it."

Although 012's mind is full of food and advancement, it has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and also has basic thinking ability. 012 hastily said, "Of course, I will not give up my life for a big meal. Besides, raw meat is not as delicious as the food you made, master."

With 012's guarantee, Ling Yaoyao landed on the ground about thirty or forty meters away from the giant insect and released 012 out of the speeding car.

As if it had been injected with chicken blood, the baby blood vine waved seven or eight blood-red vines and flew towards the giant praying mantis with its teeth and claws... Ah, no, rushed away towards the giant insect.

At that speed, Ling Yaoyao was astonished and embarrassed. In order to eat, baby blood vine flew so desperately, making it looks as if she didn't feed it before.

In fact, Ling Yaoyao usually fed common ingredients for 012. Although it adds mental power, it can only maintain the energy required by 012's body. It is barely enough for its advancement, so 012's growth rate has not been very fast.

Among the few combatants who were fighting around the insects, one of them discovered the blood vine alien plant and Ling Yaoyao in the speeding car. He shouted, "Danger, go away!"

Ling Yaoyao's luxury speeding car is a custom-made female model. It looks particularly delicate and beautiful. At first glance, it looks like the style that female assistant therapists like. But the baby blood vine...

Although the name "blood vine" sounds terrible, 012's figure is too small. It is only one meter tall, and it has hung around with Erbai for a long time, so it looks a little bit cute and funny between Zerg's claws and feet. It looks like it can only sell cute... not scary at all!

Ling Yaoyao hesitated. She drove the speed car into the air and stepped back a little bit, but she was always ready to pull back 012 as soon as it was in danger.

Probably because he was distracted to shout at Ling Yaoyao, the combatant was kicked by a claw of the giant insect. He fell severely onto the roof of a five-story residential building. He looked badly injured.

Ling Yaoyao flew over immediately, thinking about saving the wounded.

Unexpectedly, that giant insect smelled delicious human blood and immediately abandoned the six or seven combatants who had been pestering it and rushed to the rooftop...
