Chapter 584: Chapter 584: First Encounter with Zombie Cockroach Chapter 584: Chapter 584: First Encounter with Zombie Cockroach Lu Hao had never seen a Zombie Cockroach before either, but they had all heard about the terrifying nature of Zombie Cockroaches from Su Jin.

Gao Zhiming also felt a wave of fear wash over him, the Zombie Cockroach had already crawled onto him without him noticing; if it weren’t for the Venus Flytrap, he might have already been bitten and turned into a Zombie!

Zombie Cockroach, as the name implies, no matter if it’s an animal or a human, as long as it bites you, you will contract the Zombie Virus and turn into a Zombie.

Wei Junhao and Han Yue had also heard about the terrifying nature of Zombie Cockroaches, and now they were panicking and didn’t know what to do.

Meanwhile, with faint crawling sounds, dozens of Zombie Cockroaches emerged from the shadows!

While no one was paying attention, Su Jin threw the Local Tyrant Gold into the space, as the little guy would be in danger if it fell off later.

“Dad, Xu Mingliang, come with me, let’s use fire!”

Lu Hao shouted.

“Okay!”

The two stood on either side of Lu Hao and began to release Fire Element Ability on the floor in front of them.

Crack crack.

It was the sound of the Zombie Cockroaches’ carapaces being split by the heat, and everyone found the noise hair-raising.

“Over there, in the corner of the wall!”

Bai Ying also screamed out, cockroaches, oh, how she hated them!

A Venus Flytrap moved to the corner of the wall, temporarily taking care of the cockroaches there.

“We’d better get out of here quickly”
Su Jin was very worried, as Mental Element Ability Users could not sense the tiny Zombie Cockroaches, so they had no way of knowing how many were around them.

Bang!

A metal plate was thrown by Lian Jiyue towards the ceiling, instantly blocking the vent above, and next to the vent, a dozen or so black Zombie Cockroaches had already crawled out.

“Oh my god, they’re everywhere!”

Bai Ying now felt like she was in a nightmare, almost wishing they were facing regular Zombies instead.

Luo Hongyi took care of the Zombie Cockroaches on the ceiling using his Thunder Element Ability, but now, apart from Fire and Thunder Element Abilities, users of other abilities could only block and dodge against Zombie Cockroaches.

Yang Bo conjured a Metal Element hammer and smashed it towards the Zombie Cockroaches in the corner, but to his shock, he didn’t kill it with one strike. It wasn’t until two or three hits later that the Zombie Cockroach stopped moving?!

“Why is it so tough!”

Yang Bo felt it was too difficult to deal with.

“Everyone, hurry and get out of here, this is a hotel, and if we keep using fire, it might lead to a fire.”

Lu Hao said.

After hearing this, Zheng Shu quickly put things into the space, and Su Jin also picked up the things around Bai Ying.

On the road leading to the hotel entrance, Lu Hao had already ignited two fire screens over a meter high on both sides. If there were any Zombie Cockroaches there, passing through the fire screens would turn them to ashes.

To be cautious, he even ignited the ceiling.

“Move faster,”
Lu Hao asked Xu Mingliang to lead the others forward, while he picked up Su Jin and followed closely behind them.

“…”

Su Jin, who had been feeling a bit scared, suddenly didn’t feel afraid anymore. If she were to describe her feeling while in Lu Hao’s arms with a word, it would be: safe.

“What are you smiling about?”

Lu Hao smiled as well.

“Nothing, just thinking that the treatment for a pregnant woman is pretty good.”

Su Jin joked.

“You think your past treatment wasn’t good? It looks like I need to reflect.”

Lu Hao pondered.

“Alright, let’s hurry up and go, I don’t like bugs either.”

Su Jin felt that the two of them walking in the middle of the group was quite like flaunting their affection, but now everyone was focused on their footsteps and surroundings, and no one was teasing them anymore.

Lian Jiyue also tightly protected Mao Qiqi, fearing that insects might suddenly burst out.

The way forward, surrounded by flames, wasn’t so bad, but Xu Mingliang, who was leading the way, found that the entrance of the hotel was also crawling with dense swarms of zombie cockroaches.

A shorter fire snake rose in front of everyone, and Lu Hao enclosed everyone behind the fire snake to prevent those zombie cockroaches from jumping at them.

“How disgusting…”

Even he, a rugged man, felt extremely uncomfortable at the sight.

Bai Ying even wanted to knock herself out with a stick. The swarming insects really made her want to go crazy. She was afraid she would have consecutive nightmares from now on.

“I’ll do it, and it’s a good chance to try,” Lu Hao said.

Lu Hao put Su Jin down on the ground but still stood by her side.

“Su Jin, do you have a way?” Wei Junhao asked, recalling the mission the Heart Talk Team had taken before, the one with the zombie cockroach.

“I’m not sure if it’ll work, but let’s give it a try first. Everyone, watch your step,” Su Jin said.

Su Jin took out a metal box with the mutated moss she had accelerated before. She tossed the small clump of mutated moss onto the ground, then started promoting its growth with her wood element ability.

The zombie cockroaches did not avoid the mutated moss. The moss spread and covered the area at a speed visible to the naked eye, and though its growth was usually silent, it now made a sound.

The sound was like something being crushed–crunch crunch.

“The zombie cockroaches are covered?” Bai Ying felt somewhat better now; at least the mutated moss didn’t look disgusting.

Su Jin gathered a patch of the mutated moss that had covered the zombie cockroaches and saw that the cockroaches trapped beneath had completely disappeared without a trace!

Not even their hard shells remained!

“Daughter-in-law, you did it!” Lu Guanhai exclaimed with joy. With this, they wouldn’t have to be afraid when they went to N City for that mission.

“Yeah, it seems so,” Su Jin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go,” Lu Hao continued to light up the surroundings with flames, allowing everyone to see the path in the darkness and prevent zombie cockroaches from underneath.

Squeak!

Just then, a dangerous situation suddenly emerged. A zombie cockroach, covered in flames, darted out from behind the hotel door and pounced at Wang Liang, who was at the very back!

Wang Liang had also heard the sound behind him and subconsciously waved his hand, causing the zombie cockroach to fall to the ground and ignite into flames.

However, a bloody mark appeared on Wang Liang’s hand.

Upon seeing the bloody mark, Han Yue unconsciously stepped half a meter away from Wang Liang.

“You’ve been bitten by a zombie cockroach,” Han Yue said.

“…”

Wang Liang saw Han Yue’s reaction and then lowered his head.

It was Han Yue who had asked him to walk behind him just now.

“Maybe not, the cockroach was on fire; it might just be a burn,” Hang Wenshan tried to speak up for Wang Liang. Wang Liang, although he was always quiet in the team, had helped them a lot. He was also with them when they went with Han Jin and returned together.

“You guys go on,” Wang Liang said. He accepted his bad luck.

“Won’t we know if you’re infected or not in two hours?” Su Jin also felt somewhat sorry; Wang Liang was someone they had put effort into recruiting, and it seemed a pity to give up on him just like that.
