Chapter 50: Leftover Evolved Insects

[...Above, are you some kind of biology expert?]

[Why am I in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game and I still have to learn about insects’ blood color? (Pained expression.jpg)]

[Hey, insect experts, I don’t remember my biology class teaching this kind of thing. Are you sure that you didn’t remember wrong?]

[Perhaps he graduated from biology related field and had earned PhD degree]

[Even if the Live Stream Horror Survival Game contained some elements that are supernatural and strange in terms of science, basic science is still the foundation]

[If you don’t have enough knowledge in science related knowledge, you might not be able to think of a way to solve the problem of these evolved insects. Because even if they look powerful and scary, they have the same weakness as most insects.]

[Every type of insects have different weakness. You can’t possibly use the same thing to deal with them]

[Just use insecticide... it’ll keep away most insects]

[Well, above is right]

...

Huo Yingsu was speechless.

She looked around and then ran towards the nearest supermarket.

After more than a day of precipitation, the number of evolved insects roaming around had decreased considerably. It seemed that with less people in this city, the evolved insects would no longer target them.

Or rather...

They would go to other cities and started to get more ’food’ for themselves.

Only some remained behind and would still wreak havoc from time to time.

Swish!

Huo Yingsu walked into the supermarket and after rummaging around, she finally found a few bottles of insecticide and insect repellents that remained in the store. The rest had been taken away and she guessed that if they could carry everything, those people would have taken all the insecticide and insect repellents.

She sprayed a bit around her legs and then to her makeshift spear.

After a moment, Huo Yingsu also sprayed it on the outside of her bag, preventing the insects from coming closer.

This is not very comprehensive, but it should be enough temporarily.

Anyway, those evolved insects should not come closer to her as long as she didn’t actively seek them.

Hopefully...

Huo Yingsu looked at the row of worms that was crawling on the ground and silently raised her ’spear.’

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

Stabbing each of these worms to their death, Huo Yingsu silently cleared out the way as she walked out. She was eternally grateful that these evolved insects were weak or she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

There were no other humans visible within her range of vision.

Perhaps if there were still some people who were alive, they would not take the risk to come out like her.

No corpse could be seen either.

’Let’s check the hospital first. I might be able to find some luck there and I can also get some alcohol and medicine.’

Even though she would only be here for three days, Huo Yingsu felt that it’s imperative for her to be fully prepared for anything that might happen. Complicated medicine wouldn’t be necessary, but basic medicine would be needed.

Alcohol, iodine, and the likes would be good.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Along the way, Huo Yingsu cleaned up the evolved insects that she encountered.

It was not like she likes killing them.

But...

She really couldn’t avoid most of them because they were still crawling in her direction.

"I really don’t understand why these evolved insects are still chasing after me even though I’m using the insect repellants..." Huo Yingsu was really depressed.

She has already used insect repellants, but the evolved insects were still going after her. This made Huo Yingsu so exhausted.

Does she really have to fight with every single evolved insects along the way?

Huo Yingsu felt that before she reached the hospital, she would end up fainting midway first.

Uh, wrong...

If she ended up exhausted, Huo Yingsu would find a place to rest rather than going on like this.

...

[The evolved insects might have some resistance towards the insect repellants]

[Are you sure about that?]

[No]

[...]

[Are you kidding me?]

[Hey, it’s not like I know every apocalypse in the entire world. Besides, some insects have specific weakness and it’s not that easy to find out everything. For example, those spiders from before... if you mix dish soap with water and spray it on the spiders, they might die out of dehydration or something like that.]

[Huh, dish soap, huh? If I’m not wrong it’s also effective for aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, caterpillars, stink bugs, and so on. My mother really like to use it because it’s very convenient in summer and I’ll often take it to play blowing bubbles]

[...I think we don’t need the last sentence]

[Pfft! Are you not afraid of your mother spanking you for using her battle weapon for play like that?]

[Who made her battle weapon a bottle of spray filled with dish soap? The soap is very nice to play with bubbles and I make a lot of them!]
