I run a food city in the last days

"I should have said this. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have fallen. If I were the only one in this dark place, I might have been scared to death."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled without saying anything more. Some things don't need to be expressed with words. If you know gratitude in your heart, you will naturally show it in your actions.

An hour passed quickly, and there was no news of any help. I don't know if they didn't find any clues or what.

In any case, the two of them didn't plan to wait any longer. Gu Huaiting stood up, moved around, and removed the splint on his left arm.

Jiang Yiyin was a little frightened: "It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, but you haven't even had a hundred hours. Are you sure there will be no problem?"

"Don't worry, I won't risk my body." He moved the five fingers of his left hand. "It's no problem. You can't kill enemies with your left hand now. Doing ordinary work is no problem."

He tore off a section of his underwear and tied up his left forearm in layers, and smiled at her.

She didn't say much, but she secretly made up her mind to do more work soon, so that Gu Huaiting wouldn't have to work too hard.

The two returned to the front of the gap, planning to dig a little first to see the situation.

She formed two ice arrows and pierced the ground first. Gu Huaiting saw her plan and smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The ice arrow was sharp, and after being poked into the soil a few times, part of it was successfully brought out, widening the gap.

The good news is that the space behind the gap has been increased and appears to be a natural passage.

She dug a few more times, and a large piece of soil fell down, revealing a dark tunnel.

But then came the bad news. Gu Huaiting looked around for a while and then touched the tunnel with his hand. When he retracted his arm, the reflective mucus on his fingertips was clearly visible in the firelight.

"It should be the road dug by some kind of mutated insect before, and it happened to be cut off when it collapsed."

"Then...can we go?" She hesitated. This tunnel was half a person tall. She couldn't help but shudder when she imagined the size of the mutated bugs.

"You can walk, but you may encounter an insect nest." He noticed her expression, "Are you afraid of insects?"

She quickly shook her head: "It's not that I'm afraid. I've also made a feast of insects, but...if the insects are so big...well, I'm a little uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, the mutant bugs are not difficult to deal with. I will be burned to ashes when the time comes. If you don't want to see it, just close your eyes."

Hearing the gentle tone of the other party, she felt a little embarrassed and waved her hands vigorously: "I will adapt to it soon."

This tunnel dug by an unknown insect was probably their only way out. No matter how frightened she was, she would not be pretentious at this time. The two of them discussed it and decided to set off.

After extinguishing the fire pit, taking the food they had prepared before, the two of them climbed into the tunnel holding torches.

When she pressed her hand into the tunnel, she immediately rubbed the sticky liquid in her palm. Holding back the sound of retching, she glanced at a wall that was not stained with mucus and quietly stretched out her hand to rub it.

I would rather have muddy hands than slippery hands.

She didn't know that her actions were seen by Gu Huaiting from the corner of his eye. He suppressed a smile and said, "Stretch out your hands."

She spread her hands inexplicably, and the next second she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise.

The flame suddenly leaped into her palm, burning away the remaining stickiness without burning her at all.

"Don't worry, I'm controlling the superpower. I won't burn you. If you need help later, the flames will burn away the mucus first."

She was quite ashamed: "Don't waste your powers. I'll get used to it in a while."

"This little power is nothing. Your hands are used to make delicious food. Of course, you must protect them well."

Perhaps it was because of the natural "reverberation" in the tunnel, but his voice seemed extraordinarily gentle, making people blush and murmur with their hearts beating, unable to say any words of rejection.

So when the two of them continued to move forward, she carried two swaying flames in her hands. Every time she encountered a difficult place and needed her hands to support her, she never felt the discomfort again.

The tunnel was long and the direction was irregular. The two of them went up and down, turned left and turned around for an unknown amount of time. Gu Huaiting suddenly stopped and made a "shh" gesture at her.

She stopped immediately and heard a rustling sound. At the same time, she saw him mouthing silently: Insect's Nest.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tensed up her body.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. This was her first time coming to the mutant creature's lair.

The two of them moved forward as quietly as possible. After turning a corner ahead, she suddenly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

Centipedes, she saw a lot of them.

They are so entangled in the nest that all you can see are sharp insect legs, which makes your hair stand on end and makes you want to beg a pair of eyes online that you haven’t seen before.

Jiang Yiyin swallowed when he heard himself "gu dong".

Good guy, it’s not like I’ve never made fried centipedes before, but once the small centipedes in the picture in my mind are replaced with something like this...

No, no, no, forget it now!

Gu Huaiting didn't change his expression, he just glanced at the person next to him quickly, and then said angrily: "Look at the hole on the opposite side."

Her eyes moved with difficulty, and after a long while, she asked in a tone that was broken, "So if you want to continue moving forward, you must pass through the insect nest?"

"I'm afraid so." He almost didn't laugh at the tone of this lifeless voice, and quickly controlled himself.

She nodded listlessly: "That's okay."

As he was about to condense ice arrows, someone grabbed his wrist.

Looking up, Gu Huaiting had a smile in his eyes: "You don't need to do anything to get such a centipede."

As he spoke, he took a step forward. At the same time, the mutated centipedes discovered the intruder, and raised their upper body parts one by one. The middle and upper limbs suddenly swelled, and then they sprayed out with all their strength, sending out globs of dark brown venom. It shot over like a cannonball.

The venom was still in the air, and the air was already tainted with a foul and fishy smell. I was caught off guard and felt dizzy after taking a sip.

The venom of this mutated centipede is so powerful.

She was secretly frightened, and quickly held her breath and looked at Gu Huaiting, but she still condensed two ice arrows, ready to support him at any time.

But it turned out that she still didn't know enough about Gu Huaiting's strength. Suddenly a heat wave rolled in front of her, and a fireball that almost filled the entire tunnel suddenly appeared and flew towards the insect nest with a roar.

The extreme high temperature directly evaporates the venom completely, and the toxins in the air quickly lose their activity.

The mutant centipedes suddenly began to run around. The flames had not yet reached their bodies, but they had already felt the terror of the fireball. They waved their pairs of insect legs desperately, climbed out of the insect nest quickly, and tried to escape along the opposite tunnel.

With so many legs, they could run faster than the wind. Her eyesight blurred, and most of the centipedes were missing from the insect nest.

If they were allowed to escape, the tunnel would be several times more unsafe, and she would quickly throw out the ice arrow.

But he also knew in his heart that with his attack speed, it was almost impossible to kill all the mutated centipedes that escaped.
