Chapter 1160: Chapter 542 Terrifying Cockroach People

Having dealt with the humanoid cockroach, Lin Baici instructed Fang Tianhua to continue leading the way.

"Red Medicine, where are we headed?"

Xu Shuo curiously asked, as it was clear that Xia Hongyao and her team had a specific plan in mind.

"Storage!"

High Ponytail explained.

"And the reason is?"

Xu Shuo pressed on.

"Little Linzi said so!"

Xia Hongyao didn’t know why Lin Baici wanted to go there but thought it was best to listen to him.

Xu Shuo turned to Lin Baici: "Hey, give me a reason!"

Lin Baici ignored him.

Eater God mentioned that cockroaches breed and require a large amount of food, so it was logical to search the restaurants or the storage areas.

Given the terrifying number of cockroaches, the food in Haijing Airport’s restaurants was probably long gone.

Being ignored by Lin Baici instantly irritated Xu Shuo.

A newbie acting all high and mighty?

Xu Shuo really wanted to curse, but considering Lin Baici’s recent annihilation of the humanoid cockroach with the power of Great Divine Grace, he decided to hold back.

Forget it!

Not worth comparing himself to that guy.

"This doesn’t seem like the way out of the airport?"

"Can’t you just rescue us first?"

"What are you planning to do? Speak up!"

The rescued passengers chattered incessantly, all eager to leave the airport.

"Shut up!"

Xu Shuo roared: "Otherwise, I’ll smash your mouths!"

The fierce Xu Shuo instantly silenced them.

Fang Tianhua led everyone as they sprinted all the way to the northwest corner of the terminal.

After exiting through a glass door, they were on a vast expanse of concrete, and some tens of meters away stood a seven-story building.

"That’s the storage building!"

Fang Tianhua explained: "Should we call for more people?"

"No need!"

Just as Lin Baici was about to proceed, Eater God commented.

[The BOSS isn’t over there!]

[It’s some cockroaches managing the food transportation, the BOSS is hiding in the underground parking, slowly growing in strength.]

The BOSS causing pollution at Haijing Airport was intelligent and wouldn’t risk searching for food personally.

"Let’s head to the underground parking garage!"

Lin Baici found an elevator nearby: "Passengers, wait here!"

After saying that, he ran down the elevator.

"Where the hell are you going?"

Xu Shuo was annoyed, thinking that running around aimlessly wouldn’t necessarily lead them to identify the pollution’s source.

Do you think you are the only child of the Luck Goddess,

with overwhelming luck?

Xu Shuo muttered.

The passengers looked at each other and then followed.

Though there weren’t many cockroaches here, encountering that kind of monster would be deadly; it was safer to stay with that handsome Lin.

The first underground level was vast, only about four meters high, with pipes of varying thickness overhead creating a dense, dimly lit atmosphere. The many cockroaches fluttering their wings created a creepy rustling sound.

The sense of oppression was overwhelming.

"How many levels are down here?"

Lin Baici frowned.

With the terminal being so large, the subterranean extent must be significant too; how long would it take to find the source?

"Three levels, normally parking areas, and during wartime, they serve as civil defense works!"

Fang Tianhua recalled from the structural plans he had seen.

"Let’s search, the source should be underground!"

Lin Baici wasn’t feeling hungry, so he surmised that the polluting Taboo things weren’t delicacies.

Zzz! Zzz!

Intermittently, the sound of electricity crackling broke the silence, and energy-saving lamps flickered.

"We need to hurry, if the electrical fixtures fail, we’ll have to fight in the dark!"

Fang Tianhua worried.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Fang Tianhua was frustrated: "Speak up, let’s brainstorm together. Ever heard of ’three cobblers equal a Zhuge Liang’?"

"Or do you think we’re all fools?"

Lin Baici had no comment, while Xia Hongyao grew impatient: "Can you keep quiet, you’re interrupting Little Linzi’s deductions, you know?"

"..."

Xu Shuo was rebuked by his secret crush, High Ponytail, and his face instantly turned red, clearly showing they considered him inferior to Lin Baici.

Infuriating!

"Split up, look for any signs of food on the ground?"

Lin Baici urged.

This area was closest to the storage area, so there was a high likelihood that cockroaches transporting food passed this way.

Even humans moving goods would leave traces, let alone cockroaches.

Lin Baici activated A Sip of A Hundred Flavors; the already stale air due to poor circulation became even more pungent to the nostrils.

Dust, the smell of urine, the rotting scent of insect corpses, lingering car exhaust...

All surged into his nostrils.

Achoo! Achoo!

Lin Baici sneezed several times.

Despite the discomfort, he sniffed hard.

There it was, the smell of food.

Lin Baici traced the scent.

"Did he activate some kind of Divine Grace?"

"Seems like a hunting dog?"

"Stop talking and catch up!"

But before the group could follow, they were reprimanded by Gu Qingqiu: "Follow what, cough cough, go look for clues!"

Xu Shuo looked at Gu Qingqiu, amused.

Where did this pathetic character come from, daring to order me around?

Though he was quite handsome, his pale face and occasional coughing clearly indicated poor health.

Before Xu Shuo could curse back, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in front of him, followed by a metallic "ding" as sparks burst from the floor.

It was as if an invisible blade had sliced through it.

"What the hell?"

Xu Shuo instinctively stepped back.

The Dongying Samurai, Red Demon, katana in one hand, appeared beside him, then vanished again.

"Holy shit!"

"There’s a monster!"

"Run!"

Seeing this, the crowd panicked; the passengers turned to flee, even shoving each other.

Xu Shuo, being somewhat of a squad leader and not completely foolish, saw Red Demon appear and disappear without further attacks. He turned his head, his face pale with a mix of iron resolve and shock, and blurted out to Gu Qingqiu,

"Who are you?"

This woman actually had such a formidable Taboo thing; if that Samurai had decided to kill him, he would have been dead already.

Thinking this, Xu Shuo gasped, his back chilled and his face painted with lingering fear.

This was the opponent’s warning.

"Of course, she’s my companion!"

Xia Hongyao bragged proudly.

Xu Shuo’s gaze fell on the katana in Gu Qingqiu’s hand, the blade’s elegance laced with a hint of eeriness.

"So you’re just relying on the Taboo thing Red Medicine gave you to act tough? Fight me hand-to-hand if you dare!"

Damn, so jealous.

Xu Shuo wanted to join Xia Hongyao’s team, not just because he liked her, but also because she was Xia Hongmian’s sister and definitely had ample resources.

Given High Ponytail’s generous nature, he was sure to get some for free.

In his view, Gu Qingqiu, so young, definitely couldn’t have obtained such a Taboo thing through her own abilities.

"Let me correct you, that katana was given to her by Little Linzi!"

Xia Hongyao explained, "Also, you can’t beat her, don’t humiliate yourself!"

"What?"

Xu Shuo and his group were stunned. Again this Lin Baici?

Isn’t he a newcomer?

How could he have good stuff?

How come in your words, he sounds richer than a Dragon Level big shot?

Lin Baici walked on, about fifty or sixty meters later, he saw some food scraps on the ground, things like sausage, apparently leftover from being chewed on by cockroaches.

Further ahead, he could see scattered food remnants along the way.

Smashed eggs, spilled flour, and biscuit and chip crumbs...

"There’s a discovery, let’s go!"

Lin Baici shouted.

Xia Hongyao immediately beamed with joy and bragged to Xu Shuo’s group, "See? This is Seventh Star’s ace!"

"Did we really find it?"

Xu Shuo was shocked.

Lin Baici jogged forward, stopping after about a kilometer. He looked around carefully.

The stench, blood smell, various food odors, mixed together, very rich, and the number of cockroaches was also higher.

"Everyone be careful, the contamination source should be right here!"

Lin Baici gestured for everyone to spread out and search.

The man with Qi Fentou, heading towards the 10 o’clock direction, walked to the wall’s corner to check when suddenly liquid dripped onto his neck.

He looked up and wiped it off with his hand!

Sticky, uncomfortable!

"Damn!"

Qi Fentou cursed, was about to wipe his palm on his clothing but froze.

He saw in the pipe on the ceiling and the gap between the ceiling, a dark shadow blocked from the light, unclear.

"Xia Group, I..."

Qi Fentou called out loudly, but before he could finish, the shadow above pounced down.

Whoosh!

The monster’s heavy punch aimed at Qi Fentou.

Qi Fentou retreated to dodge.

What the hell is this?

Cockroach people?

The monster could walk upright, its body pitch-black and muscles bulging, at first glance like a bodybuilding champion, but it had a cockroach head with two foot-long antennae.

Thud!

The Cockroach people landed, missing the punch, and immediately pursued.

Shoo!

The Cockroach people moved incredibly fast, appearing instantly in front of Qi Fentou.

"Holy shit!"

Qi Fentou jumped, saw the monster’s fist swinging, and immediately raised his arm to block.

Bang!

Qi Fentou took a heavy hit, flew away, and before landing, the Cockroach person charged, spat out a blob of sticky mucus, then rammed like a dump truck harshly into Qi Fentou.

Ah!

Qi Fentou screamed, his eyes blinded by the mucus, feeling a burning sensation, unable to dodge in time, hit by the Cockroach person, then thudded onto the ground.

The Cockroach person stomped on Qi Fentou,

and punched.

Bang!

Qi Fentou’s head was smashed, the scream abruptly ceased.

The Cockroach person stood up, didn’t go to kill others, but dragged the body away, rushing to a corner to bring the food to its father.

"Damn, Little Ginger!"

Xu Shuo cursed profusely, wanting to help, but from the pipes below the ceiling, scurrying down came seven dark, muscular Cockroach people.

Three of which still wore unburst clothing.

These monsters were all corrupted after being bitten by the big BOSS.

"Oh no!"

Xia Hongyao Teleported, dodging the Cockroach people lunging at her, chasing the one that took Little Ginger.

"Hurry up and kill these monsters!"

Lin Baici held the Paramour Pliers.

It’s good those passengers weren’t fit enough to keep up, otherwise they’d be annihilated by these Cockroach people.

One giant Cockroach person charged at Lin Baici, opening its mouth to spit a glob.

Pfft!

Lin Baici dodged with a tilt of his head, then swung his Paramour Pliers at the incoming fist of the Cockroach person.

Die!
