When Luo Kai walked to the lobby on the first floor, there was already a large group of people following behind him. The hotel's shutter door was still quite sturdy and had not been broken through by the insects.
Luo Kai violently knocked open the door of the basement. There was a large group of people squeezed inside. At first, there was a burst of panic and screams. When they saw that it was Luo Kai, they were relieved and shouted at them, "Hey, there's no more space here. You guys find another place."
Luo Kai ignored them and pulled Lu Qing in. The blood-stained blade in his hand was still dripping with blood. His face was cold and his aura was strong. The people in the basement could not help but step back. The people behind him naturally swarmed in and blocked the door again. The space returned to darkness.
The basement was very big, but it was full of junk. Luo Kai and Lu Qing sat on a red wine box. Geng Daqiang followed them and whispered, "Brother Luo, thank you."
Luo Kai asked, "Why are you here? Where's Erya?" He remembered that Geng Daqiang seemed to have an official job as a proofreader editor at a newspaper in Longyang City.
"My dad and Erya are both in Longyang City. This time I'm accompanying the president on a business trip. Oh right, this is the president of our newspaper, President Zhang." Geng Daqiang moved aside and introduced the potbellied middle-aged man behind him.
The potbellied man hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Luo Kai, "Nice to meet you. Brother Luo is also living in Longyang City? If you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to find me."
Luo Kai shook hands with him, turned his head and continued to ask Geng Daqiang, "Then did you guys move?"
"Yes, my dad is now working in Blackstone. He has a house given to him by a business group."
"Oh, no wonder." Luo Kai no longer spoke. He closed his eyes, his throat trembling slightly as he continued to study the subtleties of infrasound.
Geng Daqiang still wanted to curry favor with Luo Kai, but when he looked at Luo Kai, he inexplicably felt a great sense of oppression. He didn't dare to talk anymore. Instead, he looked at the beautiful girl beside Luo Kai. The two people's behavior was intimate. Obviously, their relationship wasn't ordinary. He was both envious and surprised. In his impression, Luo Kai seemed to be a tricycle driver. How could he have such a beautiful girlfriend?
The people in the basement didn't dare to make too much noise. They could only whisper in low voices.
"Have you noticed that the gunshots are getting weaker and weaker?"
"That's right. Have the bugs been eliminated?"
The bald man said in a low voice, "It's impossible for so many bugs to be eliminated so quickly. There's only one possibility for the sparse gunshots …
President Zhang thought of something and turned pale with fright. "You mean the garrison was annihilated by the insects?"
The bald man shook his head and said in a cold voice, "I think the garrison of Changyuan County couldn't hold on for much longer. They abandoned us and ran away."
The buzzing sound of wings flapping in the air came from outside. As it got closer and closer, it suddenly stopped. Everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and held their breaths. They didn't dare to make any noise.
Time slowly passed. Luo Kai pulled out the military knife from his leg and handed it to Lu Qing. "Qing, a lot of bugs are coming. Take this and defend yourself."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the basement heard it clearly. They were all shocked, but they didn't dare to make any noise.
With a creak, a sharp hind limb full of barbs pierced through the door of the basement. The wooden door wrapped in iron could not stop the insects from breaking in. Another pair of sharp forelimbs pierced through the door.
Luo Kai stood up and walked to the door. He was slightly puzzled. How could these bugs accurately find the hiding place of the people? If the bugs were so sensitive, then hiding wasn't a solution.
The door was torn apart with a bang. A huge bug broke through the door. It was much bigger than the previous bugs, almost the size of a normal person. Its blade-like hind limbs supported its body upright. The mouthparts in its mouth were constantly squirming, making strange squeaking sounds. Its pair of compound eyes looked at Luo Kai. It wasn't as ferocious as the previous ones. Instead, there was a hint of doubt.
Luo Kai caught a low-frequency sound wave that ordinary people couldn't hear. He suddenly realized that the bugs used infrasonic waves to communicate. The infrasonic waves that he had just simulated were heard by the bug. That's why it came to find him.
After realizing that the person in front of it wasn't of the same species, the huge locust kicked its hind limbs and opened its slender mouth to bite him.
The speed of the locust's movement was extremely fast. Even with Luo Kai's powerful perception, he could only vaguely catch a shadow of it. The blade of the disintegrator moved freely, and the clear sound of the blade cutting through the air was heard.
The disintegrator blade cut through the front claws of the giant locust. However, for the first time, the disintegrator blade encountered an obstacle. The front claws of this locust were much harder than metal.
Luo Kai let out a muffled groan. The muscles all over his body were bulging. He pulled back the blade and spun it in the air. The head of the locust was cut off.
When the people in the basement saw Luo Kai kill a terrible giant worm with a swing of his knife, their eyes suddenly became awe-inspiring.
There was more than one giant locust that was attracted by Luo Kai. He rushed out and killed all of them. He also cleared all the locusts in the nearby floors. After that, he carried a long wooden table and used the disintegrator blade to repair it. After that, he went back to the basement and sat down next to Lu Qing. The only thing he could do now was to wait. The army of Seongma Province would not let the locusts wreak havoc in their territory.
The sound of gunfire outside was almost inaudible. It meant that the garrison of Changyuan city had most likely lost the ability to resist. It could be imagined that this city would become a purgatory on earth tonight.
Panic and anxiety shrouded everyone's heart for a whole night. Early the next morning, the deafening sound of gunfire rang out again. This time, it was much more intense than last night. Sometimes, the violent sound of explosions could be heard near the hotel. Not long after, the roaring sound of armored vehicles could be heard. The army had entered the city.
Everyone in the basement let out a sigh of relief and revealed a smile of relief. A few people wanted to open the door.
The bald man hurriedly stopped them. "It must be a hail of bullets outside. Going out now is no different from suicide."
A few hours later, the sound of gunfire outside did not decrease in the slightest. Instead, it became more and more intense. Luo Kai wanted to go out and check the situation, but he was worried about Lu Qing. He could only wait here passively.
There seemed to be a fierce battle taking place near the hotel. The rumbling of explosions was endless. Dust kept falling from the ceiling, and the surrounding concrete walls had a few cracks from the explosion. This time, everyone began to panic again. No one knew if the next shell would explode directly above their heads and completely blow up the hotel. If that happened, everyone would be buried here.
Lu Qing could not help but lean towards Luo Kai. She hugged his arm and asked in a low voice, "Should we go somewhere else?"
Luo Kai shook his head, indicating that there was no need. With him here, even if they were buried underground, they could still use brute force to escape.
After a while, they heard waves of human screams coming from outside. There was also an extremely low frequency mixed in. After feeling it, it made people's hearts itch, and they just wanted to dig out their hearts and livers.
A few people with weaker physiques could not bear it. They rolled on the ground and desperately scratched and rubbed their bodies. Not long after, their clothes and flesh were torn, and blood was dripping. Their consciousness was clear, but the itch rising from the depths of their cells was unbearable. They could not help but use their hands and feet to scratch and rub. As they screamed, they begged the miserable people beside them for help. "Beg me!"
The others were also bitterly enduring. Seeing this, they could only hurriedly hide. How could they have the ability to save them?
This kind of low frequency sound wave had different effects depending on each person's physique. People with weaker physiques generally had weaker cells in the deepest layer, so naturally they could not bear the invasion and interference of the infrasound.
Lu Qing's charming face was pale. In the past month or so, her physique had become a lot stronger, so the effect was not very big. She said to Luo Kai, "Luo Kai, help them."
Luo Kai took a deep breath. With a thought, a huge amount of spiritual power formed an invisible barrier, blocking the infrasound. The people rolling on the ground gradually recovered. They did not know that it was Luo Kai who helped, and only looked around blankly.
Luo Kai stood up. Although he could use his spiritual power to block the low frequency sound wave, but it did not solve the root cause. If he wanted to solve the problem, he could only solve the source of the sound wave. He said softly, "Qing, I'll go out and take a look."
"En, you have to be careful."
Lu Qing nodded meekly. She knew that if it were not for her, Luo Kai would have taken action last night. However, it was definitely very dangerous last night, so she was not willing to let Luo Kai go out.
