Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, Long Xianlin softened his tone a bit, "What we need now is unity. Only by cooperating with each other can we resolve the current disaster."

"It's easy to say, but how can it be that easy?"

"Yes, even children know that being covered by a swarm of bees is very painful."

Long Xianlin continued patiently, "I understand everyone's fear. Frankly, I'm the same. No one is completely free from the fear of death. I'm a doctor, and when people face death, they're often terrified. But there's nothing we can do about it. But please rest assured, trust our companions. They'll definitely find a way to resolve this situation. After all, they're the 'Contractors.'"

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Mo Yan and the others behind him. For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was once again heightened because of Long Xianlin.

"Just them? Is that okay?"

"Yes, to be honest, even if you say so, we can't trust our lives to these outsiders." The woman said again.

Long Xianlin continued to persuade, "I understand how you feel, but right now, we can only overcome this difficult time by working together. They are the only ones battling the insect swarm. Although we live in the rainforest, we have no experience dealing with it. In comparison, they are the only ones who can contend with the insect swarm."

"But don't you still have it?"

"Yes, Dr. Long, wouldn't it be easier if we just used the herbal anthelmintic you developed?" people asked again.

Long Xianlin smiled bitterly and said, "You think too highly of me. I am just a doctor. I am good at daily insect removal, treatment, and detoxification. But I am not a contractor after all. Facing the tens of thousands of insects in front of me, my methods are completely ineffective."

"So, we have no choice, right?" the man from before said solemnly.

Long Xianlin nodded: "That's right."

For a moment, everyone at the scene fell silent, and people gathered together and began to talk in low voices.

At this moment, the four of them looked a little dazed. First, they were worried that the villagers still wouldn't fully trust them, making future cooperation difficult. Second, they were worried that if time passed, the insect swarm would likely find their way here. The thought of this weighed on each of them like an invisible mountain.

Finally, after a detailed discussion, the man who had caused trouble came out from the crowd again.

He placed his hands on his hips, frowning as he said, "Alright, we're willing to give our lives to you, but you have to ensure the safety of our tribe. I know it's not easy to join forces to fight a large group, and some of us will always sacrifice. So I won't force you to save all of us, but at least let the bloodline of our tribe survive."

Zixuan nodded and responded: "Don't worry, we will do our best to save everyone!"

She was so confident, but at this time Karen beside her was a little hesitant.

"That's true, but how can we get rid of these insects? If we set fire... I guess no one will agree." She looked at the villagers in front of her and stammered.

"It's okay, let's leave it that way." The man shook his head and said.

"Ha, did I hear it right?" Hearing this, Karen was stunned.

The woman from before came out and said, "You heard right. We agree to use fire. After all, it's the most effective and fastest way to get rid of bugs."

At this moment, Zixuan nodded and said, "Well, this way, we don't have to worry about it."

"So you have a plan?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Well, it might be a bit troublesome to take action, but with you all here, I think it should be much easier." Zi Xuan continued, "You all should know that the insect swarm acts according to the orders of its insect king. This means we don't need to eliminate all the insects. As long as we get rid of their insect king, they will naturally fall into chaos because they have no leader."

"Are you talking about the strategy of capturing the thief and the leader?" Long Xianlin asked.

Zixuan nodded and said, "It seems that Doctor Long understands it very well."

"But the queen bee and the queen ant will not leave any room for us to fight them alone," said Zhao Heng.

Kailin responded, "Yes. Even if we could find a chance to get close to them, if they were to notice our intentions, they could simply call out and re-order the swarm. By then, our situation would become dangerous."

Zi Xuan smiled confidently, looking at the villagers calmly and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem, but that is precisely why we need you to disperse their forces."

"You mean we should split into teams and deal with the swarm in batches?" the man asked.

"Yes, so fire attack becomes a means to speed up their consumption." Zi Xuan nodded.

"So that's how it is. This is indeed a good plan." Long Xianlin nodded after thinking about it.

"But there is still a flaw in realizing this plan."

"What defect?" the man asked.

"We lack a suitable means of escape," Zixuan said, looking at Kailin. "You know, the core of this plan is to use the hostility of the Wasp King and the Fire Ant King towards us to lure them over. Then, we can easily deplete their forces."

"So that's why Karin's off-road vehicle has become the key tool for our operation this time." Zhao Heng said.

"But didn't the car break down in the desert before?" Tianlang asked.

"That's why we have to hurry and try to repair the car before the swarm finds us." She looked at Kailin again and said, "I know time is tight, but for everyone's safety, I have to put you in this situation, Kailin."

Seeing this, Kailin smiled slightly and patted her chest, saying, "What are you talking about? Just leave it to me. Although some parts may take some time to replace, with so many people here, I'm sure it will be fixed quickly."

The man nodded and said, "No problem, let us help you."

"Well, it's settled then." Kailin nodded, then showed the ring on her left middle finger and placed the damaged SUV back in front of everyone. Then she raised her right hand, showed the ring on her ring finger, and took out a number of replacement parts, including the engine and motor.

The man and the other tribesmen were truly amazed by this sight, but time was running out, leaving them no time for further amazement. So, under Kailin's careful inspection and guidance, everyone quickly got to work repairing the car. Although most of the villagers had no experience with auto repairs, they enthusiastically followed Kailin's instructions, passing tools and moving parts, happily busying themselves.

Kailin, a true mechanic, expertly opened the hood and carefully inspected each component for damage. She tightened screws, replaced wiring, and beads of sweat covered her forehead, but her gaze remained focused and determined.
