Chapter 228 Brother, he is indeed my brother.
Chapter 228 Brother, he is indeed my brother.
Ling Yi, who was surrounded by four larvae, saw Chen Xuan and the others' actions.
He slowly reached out and began trying to untie the larvae that were close to his knees.
The larva in her arms still clung to Ling Yi with its tiny hands, clutching his clothes, as if it was extremely satisfied with the scent emanating from him.
When Ling Yi reached out to untie his companion, he merely looked on curiously without showing any sign of resistance.
The four little radish heads were untied one by one, and they squatted or sat down next to Ling Yi, looking up at him with their little faces raised.
Despite their blank expressions, Ling Yi could still strangely discern from their faces that they all seemed to want a hug.
But there are four of them, while Ling Yi is only one, so naturally he can't hold all of them.
So Ling Yi had no choice but to take another larva, which was about the same size as the one in his arms, and hold it in his arms as well.
He tentatively reached out a hand and covered their heads, patting them as if to comfort them.
Suddenly, one of the larvae he had touched, which was about three or four years old, tilted its head and spoke to him.
"Brother, why is it like this?"
His childish speech wasn't very clear, but it was crisp, like a vessel being suddenly struck, which surprised Ling Yi.
It can actually talk?
But who is the older brother?
Just as Ling Yi was looking at the larva with surprise and was about to ask it a question,
There was a loud "bang!"
The door panel, which had been covered with a defensive card, suddenly made a loud noise, as if it had been hit very violently.
Fortunately, the card's defense was effective, and the loud noise prevented the door from being forced open.
There was a slight undulation in the middle of the door gap, but it quickly returned to normal.
"Ah! What's going on?!"
"Has another new monster arrived?"
At this moment, the female or male insects gathered together couldn't help but let out a frightened cry.
Chen Xuan, Lin Simiao, and Liu Zhe, like Ling Yi, were instantly drawn to the doorway. They immediately began to organize the combat-capable female soldiers and female insects to turn around and collectively guard the doorway.
Basically, all the rooms here have only one entrance/exit.
The room only contains instruments and equipment used for research; they cannot be used as weapons.
The female, sub-female, and male insects, who had little fighting ability, huddled together in fear, all cowering at the very back of the room.
Ling Yi wanted to go back to the group, but she was worried that the larvae would attack the other females.
I raised my hand to put the larvae in my arms down and bind them again, but they clung to me tightly and I couldn't get them to let go.
For a moment, Ling Yi found himself in a dilemma.
"Oh!"
The impact at the doorway continued, and a pale blue halo rippled outwards from the center of the impacted doorway, like ripples on the surface of water.
"Boom! Boom!"
The impacts grew louder, and Ling Yi noticed that the halo around the door seemed to be fading.
He immediately took out two more cards from his backpack and tossed them to Chen Xuan, who was looking at him, so that he could use them on the door to reinforce the defense.
"Boom, bang, bang..."
The door panel, now equipped with two defensive cards, glowed with a pale blue light interspersed with brown, indicating the different attributes of these two defensive cards.
The impact sound was much quieter than before, and the door panel no longer undulated when hit.
Only layers upon layers of light, like ripples on the surface of water, continued to ripple back and forth from the point of impact.
If you ignore the horror of the place and the sound of being hit, the colorful halo of light is actually a very beautiful sight.
But clearly none of the insects in the room were in the mood to appreciate it.
A serious look was beginning to appear in Chen Xuan's eyes. He didn't know if the figure outside the door was the small figure they had just shaken off, or something else entirely.
But clearly, their resistance can only provide them with a brief respite.
If they can't come up with another solution, even if Pa Lingyi uses up all the usable cards in his backpack, they will still face a fierce battle.
Moreover, Ling Yi's cards aren't unlimited. Even if he manages to get through this one, what about the next?
As long as they haven't left this instance, the danger will always be there!
"Ling Yi, we don't have much time left. Have you noticed anything yet?"
Chen Xuan took two steps toward Ling Yi and asked him a question.
Hearing Chen Xuan's question, Ling Yi knew exactly what he was asking.
So far, he has only noticed that these larvae like to come close to him, as if they can gain a sense of security from it.
We really didn't find anything else.
No, there's also a talking larva!
Ling Yi immediately lowered his head and looked at the child who had unclear speech, trying his best to speak in the gentlest tone.
"Little larva, what did you mean by 'brother' just now?"
Ling Yi leaned forward slightly, looking extremely kind.
Ling Yi felt he had already adopted his most gentle demeanor.
But at this moment, he didn't look very gentle; in fact, he looked rather strange.
Despite her aloof demeanor and tall, upright figure, she carried two dolls in her arms, her arms unconsciously supporting them, and another doll dangling from her lap.
If you ignore the surrounding environment and sounds, it looks a lot like a female parent with four larvae.
At least that's how Liu Zhe saw it.
"Lieutenant Chen, why is Commander Ling still holding them?"
The most important thing now is to quickly figure out how to break out of this room, isn't it?
Liu Zhe gripped the gun in his hand, turned his head to look at Chen Xuan, and spoke with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"The commander is trying to figure something out. This door can hold out a little longer; there's still time!"
Chen Xuan watched as Ling Yi asked in a low voice, clearly still trying to find a breakthrough from the larvae.
Seeing their reaction, Liu Zhe could only silently tighten his grip on his gun and stop asking questions and urging them on.
Lin Simiao naturally stood unconditionally on Chen Xuan's side, his gun already drawn, standing quietly around him, ready to guard against any sudden situations that might occur on either side.
"Brother, is the wine your brother? You wine are, brother..."
The three- or four-year-old larva met Ling Yi's gaze, tilted its head slightly in confusion, and answered, seemingly not understanding why Ling Yi was asking such a question.
Just then, a clear breaking sound came from the doorway.
Ling Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the original mixed blue and brown colors on the door panel had been reduced to a single blue light, which was still fading.
Clearly, the increased attacks from the outside, coupled with the card-effect effects at the entrance, could no longer hold them off for long.
