Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 187 Relying on the Blessing of Divine Beasts, Bravely Venturing into the Apocalypse 21
The Summoning Divine Beast System didn't want to deceive Qiu Tong, but due to the rules of Heaven, it couldn't answer certain questions casually, so it could only remain silent.
Qiu Tong wasn't annoyed that she couldn't hear the Summoning Divine Beast System's reply. She could probably guess that, like Xiao Fu, the Summoning Divine Beast System had some things it couldn't tell her.
Since that's the case, she won't ask, or she'll pretend she doesn't know.
She remembered that when she first obtained the Summon Divine Beast System, it mentioned that other services could be unlocked after the system was upgraded.
She had mistakenly thought that she had upgraded her system by summoning two divine beasts at the same time.
The system rewarded her with the benefit of being able to summon multiple mythical beasts, which is why she asked this question.
Since the summoning system is pretending to be dead again, she won't ask any questions. Anyway, this is a good thing for her.
She chatted with the Fire Qilin and the Firelight Beast for a while, then asked them if there was anything they wanted to do outside the system. The two beasts hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to return to the system.
It's not that they aren't curious about the world or don't want to go out and run and play freely, but rather that they understand the mission they have here.
If they dare to disregard their mission and run off to play on their own, they'll probably be discovered by their boss before they even get a few steps out, and then forcibly pulled back into the system, and never allowed to come out to play again.
After weighing the pros and cons several times, they will choose to return to the system.
Qiu Tong didn't force them to stay, and watched them leave through the passage.
She turned her head and saw the dirty and messy floor and a whole wall that had been destroyed. She silently looked away, opened the door and left.
Qiu Tong, with a carefree attitude, ran to the next room, took out her large throne, and lay down to sleep.
It was the middle of the night, and she didn't want to look for a place to stay anymore. After all, only the house next door was damaged, and the other houses nearby were still intact.
In the latter half of the night, nothing dared to disturb her sleep.
At the foot of a mountain range hundreds of kilometers away from Qiu Tong, the mother insect sensed that all her sent-out subjects had lost contact. Through the shared vision of her subjects, she saw the figures they had seen before the contact was lost.
The mother insect chirped angrily, and the larvae around her began to stir restlessly upon hearing her roar.
The mother worm drifted to the Milky Way from another universe and was among the first extraterrestrial beings to land on Earth on the day of the apocalypse.
It is responsible for hiding and developing its strength in secret, while the other adult Zerg it produces are sent out by it to hunt for it.
Among the Zerg, only the Queen needs to eat to replenish nutrients and lay eggs; the other Zerg do not need to eat and can survive simply by absorbing cosmic energy.
Initially, the Zerg were relatively rare on Earth because there weren't many adult Zerg that escorted the mother Zerg to Earth. They wanted to leave most of their Zerg around the mother Zerg to watch over her as she laid her eggs.
The other part is responsible for going out to find food and sharing vision to let the mother insect know the situation on the planet.
She would also use her shared vision to see which foods suited her taste, and then have her people bring them back. Other humans who did not suit her taste were cruelly killed by her people.
Later, as the mother insect consumed more and more food, the eggs laid earlier gradually hatched, and the insectoid race gradually grew stronger.
In every corner of the city, you can see more and more swarms of Zerg, all of which are newly hatched Zerg.
The female insect lays hundreds of millions of eggs at a time, and at least 70% to 80% of them are successfully hatched.
Eggs that fail to hatch can only be eaten by the larvae, becoming their nutrients and helping them grow.
It only takes about a month for a Zergling to grow from larva to adult.
During this period, many larvae will die from cannibalism, and only about 50% of the larvae will actually grow up.
That's tens of millions of them. If the mother insect lays eggs once a day, their population can grow unnoticed.
However, the female insect is not very prolific; it depends on whether the energy from the food it consumes is sufficient for it to lay eggs every day.
When the mother insect first came to Earth, she ate insects from the surrounding area. Later, she discovered that humans had more energy, so she ordered her people to capture humans and bring them back to feed her.
During one feeding session, it discovered that not every human was energetic enough to be its food, so it began to be picky.
It only eats humans who have evolved superpowers; those without superpowers are not on its food list.
Mutant animals are also its favorite food, but they are harder to catch than humans. It can only catch a few occasionally to satisfy its craving.
Of course, there was more than one queen insect on Earth. At that time, there were at least five groups of insects that fell from the sky in China. In each group, there was a queen insect that hid away to be responsible for breeding and expanding the population, while the other insects went out to hunt for the queen insect.
The insectoid swarm that just raided Qiu Tong at night was composed of newly adult insects sent out by the mother insect to hunt them.
Unfortunately, most of them were wiped out by Qiu Tong's divine beasts, while a small number of others went to hunt in other, more distant places and were lucky enough to survive.
The mother insect sensed the disappearance of her subjects in the same direction, and then saw the last figures of the Fire Qilin and Firelight Beast appearing from the perspective of these subjects. She then shared their appearance through the shared brain domain and issued the order: "Find these two things and kill them without mercy."
The mother insect was unaware that the Fire Qilin and Firelight Beast, which she wanted to kill without hesitation, had already left Earth, leaving her people to wander aimlessly.
It's hard to say whether Qiu Tong will be able to summon them again later.
After all, there are still many mythical beasts that she hasn't summoned, and the chances of the Fire Qilin and Firelight Beast reappearing are slim.
The area where Qiu Tong is currently located is the territory inhabited by the offspring of this mother insect. In other parts of the world, there are insectoid groups with various appearances.
Will this life be like the last, where each Zerg race can only move within its own territory, and other Zerg races cannot visit each other's territories?
That's hard to say, after all, there's the variable of Qiu Tong, and the existence of other reborn individuals and other major plot holes, so it's impossible for this life to be the same as the previous one.
The next day when Qiu Tong went out, she saw that the street on the right was covered with black ash, and the street on the left was covered with black lumps.
Just by looking at the appearance of the residue, she could tell which side was burned by the Fire Qilin and which side was burned by the Firelight Beast.
Although the fire of the Firelight Beast is not as powerful as that of the Fire Qilin, its fire can render enemies immobile once it sticks to their bodies, making it a formidable weapon.
As for whether it has any other abilities, Qiu Tong had no idea; last night she only saw the two beasts happily breathing fire.
Yu Fang and the others spent the entire night in fear and trepidation. It wasn't until the morning that they mustered their courage and cautiously went out to check the situation.
When they saw that the streets where the Zerg had come last night were covered in black lumps, they all gasped and unanimously concluded that it was the work of Winter.
They were the only ones left outside last night; if it wasn't them, who else could it be?
They just didn't expect the Frostwinter team to be so powerful, easily wiping out so many Zerg.
Yu Fang looked thoughtfully at the black lumps on the ground, wondering what methods they had used to burn the insectoids.
They wouldn't naively assume the other side used superpowers. At this point, everyone's superpowers were very weak, making it impossible to burn such a large group of Zerg to death. They must have used other methods.
Instantly, everyone in Yu Fang's team regretted locking them out last night.
They noticed when the doorknob turned last night, but they all pretended to be dead and no one went to open the door for them. They even stayed far away from the door, afraid that the Zerg would break in.
They could tell whether the people at the door were humans or Zerg, but they couldn't guarantee that Winter and the others wouldn't retaliate against them once they entered.
Just as they were feeling lost, Sun Jiayi led Han Dong and the others out of the stairwell.
Yu Fang shamelessly came over to say hello and asked about what happened last night.
"Good morning! What happened last night? Why is this place like this?"
After last night's events, who would give her a kind look? Everyone ignored her and protected Sun Jiayi, walking to the other side.
Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Yu Fang's face turned so dark it was almost black.
Sun Jiayi's two buddies were about to leave with them, but they were driven back by Sun Jiayi's cold and indifferent gaze.
Enraged, they began to slander Sun Jiayi in various ways.
"What's with the attitude? If it weren't for the two of us saving you, would you have been able to safely encounter your guards? You're such an ingrate."
"Exactly, if we had known he would turn out like this, we shouldn't have saved him in the first place. We should have let him die in the jaws of beasts."
After saying these words, the two seemed to realize that something was wrong, and started to play the emotional card again.
“Jiayi, we left first last night because we had no choice. Our strength is so weak, staying here would only increase the burden on your guards. We left for your own good.”
“That’s right. With our departure, your guards can focus on protecting you alone. Without us distracting them, they can eliminate these Zerg. Don’t you think so?”
Before Sun Jiayi could even speak, Han Dong sarcastically retorted.
"Aren't you overthinking this? Who are you to us? Why would we abandon our young master to protect you two? You're really trying to make yourselves look good."
"Whether you're here or not, we'll only protect our young master. I don't know where you get the nerve to say we'll be distracted by you? Dream on!"
The other guards also looked at them with disdain, as if they were too lazy to waste words with them.
Now that Han Dong had said what he wanted to say, Sun Jiayi stopped talking, ignored them, and turned to leave with his men.
He originally wanted to say that it was Jia Hui who saved him, and it had nothing to do with the two of them. At most, they just helped him escape to the stairwell and found him some emergency medicine.
Furthermore, the medicine they found last night was not for inflammation or treating external injuries.
Fortunately, they arrived in time during the dead of winter. He noticed something was wrong when he took the medicine from them, so he didn't have to take the expired medicine they were feeding him, and he also had to apply some ointment to treat his allergies.
The medical supplies used to bandage Sun Jiayi in December were emergency supplies from their bags and had nothing to do with what the two had found.
Once again ignored, the two dared not follow, and could only watch their departing figures with grim expressions.
They've made it so clear that if they follow them, they'll be shameless. Besides, the other party isn't willing to protect them, so following them won't bring them any benefits. They might as well stay in Yu Fang's group.
