As soon as Xuan Xiaocao saw Lu Xi'an, she took a fancy to him.

Her subordinates said they wanted to deal with that woman hiding somewhere, but now Xuan Xiaocao also wanted to deal with this man.

Of course, she wouldn't do it easily. After all, this man was a Type A Neo-Human.

Type A Neo-Humans have incredibly strong physical abilities, and she was always cautious around them.

Even with her own men, she was always on guard.

That's why she never approached Liang and Cai Tou; who knows if these two Type A Neo-Humans might suddenly turn against her during intimate moments?

With their skills, Xuan Xiaocao was certain that in such situations, she wouldn't stand a chance.

That's why she chose her subordinate, a Type D Neo-Human, as a lover.

Even then, she would be extra cautious—whenever those two Type A Neo-Humans were around, she would surround herself with ants during her moments of intimacy.

If anyone dared to approach her at that time, those ants would fly up and gnaw them to bones.

—Yes, fly.

Those ants had wings. That's why everyone was so fearful of her.

Now that she wanted to "deal with" Lu Xi'an, she naturally had to rely on the ants.

She had already planned it out; once she acted, she would let the ants gnaw the man's arms and legs off.

Leaving just a body, everything she wanted would be there, and as a Type C Neo-Human, she could control it at will. There would be no problem in dealing with him.

Xuan Xiaocao thought of the wonderful possibilities and couldn't help but grin. Her hard features made her smile rather creepy, scaring her lover into holding his breath beside her.

"Bang—"

A loud gunshot echoed from afar.

Just as Xuan Xiaocao was savoring her plans, she suddenly saw a splash of blood spurting out, and her lover beside her fell straight back.

Stunned, Xuan Xiaocao turned her head, realizing the invisibility effect had disappeared, and she was exposed.

She didn't have time for previous thoughts, commanded the queen ant nestled in her hair to release the eight bottles of black ants, who flew towards Lu Xi'an.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Lu Xi'an, who was playing "dodgeball" with Liang, glanced around, saw the woman still alive but the man dead, and immediately acted, ignoring Liang.

His move shocked both Liang and Cai Tou.

Cai Tou could no longer provide backup and quickly rushed up. Together with Liang, they barely managed to hold Lu Xi'an back.

They could restrain Lu Xi'an but couldn't stop Yao Wei.

...

"I hit the wrong one."

After shooting the first shot from a small hill in the distance, Yao Wei said these words.

Gou was beside her, along with a drone she had taken from the car, sitting quietly as if untouched.

Gou played a role in detecting the two camouflaged in optical camouflage.

But unfortunately, Gou could only point out their locations; it couldn't tell Yao Wei which one was the Type C Neo-Human.

So Yao Wei could only rely on luck and take a chance.

Obviously, her luck wasn't great this time.

However, she was prepared for bad luck. So when she realized her mistake, she muttered and immediately chambered another round and fired again.

"Bang—"

The gunshot echoed across the landscape, and surprise flashed in Xuan Xiaocao's eyes before her expression froze. The gaping wound in her forehead seemed to push her body to fall backward.

"Thud—"

The leader of the Jiangbei force followed her lover into oblivion.

The man-eating black ants lost control immediately and swarmed over the two lifeless bodies.

In no time at all, Xuan Xiaocao, who once thunderous in Jiangbei, and her lover were reduced to bare bones.

Lu Xi'an, Liang, and Cai Tou, still fighting fiercely, caught a glimpse of this and were momentarily lost in thought.

Seizing this moment, Yao Wei, without hesitation, chambered another round and fired again.

"Bang—"

The bullet from the muzzle aimed for Duan on Cai Tou's back.

However, this shot didn't hit its mark like the previous ones.

Duan was strapped to Cai Tou's back, and with Cai Tou being a Type A Neo-Human bolstered by Duan's ability, their speed and reflexes were exceptionally swift.

The moment the shot rang out, Cai Tou reacted instantly, dodging aside, letting Yao Wei's bullet miss.

This sudden change in speed was hard for Duan to endure.

Duan was already feeling overwhelmed inside the blanket, barely holding on.

Seeing the situation, Yao Wei ceased firing, slung the sniper rifle over her shoulder, and charged from behind the hill, striding swiftly towards Liang and Cai Tou.

"Gou, watch yourself."

She barely had time to say more, just gave a warning to Gou.

Liang and Cai Tou, already panic-stricken, cared little for battle; seeing the woman lurking in the shadows advance, Liang cried out, "How much stuff do you guys still have?!"

Then the two Type A Neo-Humans simultaneously turned to run.

However, unexpectedly, the uncontrolled ants, after devouring Xuan Xiaocao and his companion, were still unsatisfied and flapped towards them, blocking their path.

In the sky, on the ground, there were swarms of man-eating ants, almost forming a blanket that made one's scalp tingle.

Liang and Cai Tou had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing this, Lu Xi'an also had to retreat, but didn't distance himself from Liang and Cai Tou.

Liang shouted in panic, "Duan, quickly control those ants!"

Duan also had to poke his head out from the quilt and shouted, "I know! I'm searching! There are too many ants, I can't find the Ant Queen all at once!"

This is exactly the fear!

Among the remaining three, there's also a Type C Neo-Human with the ability to regain control of the swarm, which at a glance is unusual. If the enemy regains control, the consequences would be unimaginable.

—These are Flying Ants with wings, flying at a rapid pace. Lu Xi'an and Liang, Cai Tou maintained a certain distance, while stalemating and retreating, moving at a remarkably fast speed, yet the ants could still keep up.

If they slowed down a bit, they would inevitably be overwhelmed by these Flying Ants.

These Flying Ants must have been nurtured by Xuan Xiaocao with the Fungus Stone.

This provided Lu Xi'an with a thought.

In that case, if Luo Ping gets the Fungus Stone, could he also use it to nurture some animals to make them auxiliary combat forces?

For instance, that wolf, and those chickens in the flock that appeared to wear overalls, could become formidable if raised.

But these are future considerations. Right now, the most urgent thing is to quickly kill Duan, the Type C Neo-Human.

As long as this person is alive, he poses the greatest threat.

Lu Xi'an picked up objects from the ground while retreating. Pebbles, syringes, wrenches, screwdrivers—all were things thrown during his and Liang's previous "dodgeball battle."

Picking them up now, Lu Xi'an didn't pause for a moment and hurled them at Cai Tou.

To be precise, he threw them at Duan on Cai Tou's back.

Cai Tou had to dodge desperately to prevent Lu Xi'an's Hidden Weapons from hitting Duan.

Meanwhile, Liang quickly moved forward and engaged Lu Xi'an, attempting to entangle him.

They equally understood that the key to survival and victory now lay with Cai Tou.

With Lu Xi'an's demonstrated strength, plus the Type A woman hidden in the shadows, and the never-yet-appeared Type C Neo-Human, they're absolutely outmatched.

Only by controlling the Flying Ants do they have the strength to battle this group.

Wait!

Type C Neo-Human!

They also had a Type C Neo-Human!

Damn, how could they forget this?!

Liang promptly shouted, "Let's stop fighting. How about sparing us? Give the ants to you, let your Type C Neo-Human take control!"

He was playing both ends, negotiating peace with Lu Xi'an while hinting to Duan about the competition for ant control, urging him to quickly seize control.

Duan immediately understood, frantically searching for the Ant Queen among the Flying Ants.

However, Lu Xi'an's Hidden Weapons kept coming, Liang blocked one strike but couldn't stop another, and Cai Tou had to dodge left and right, staggering with Duan.

Duan dizzy, how could he find the Ant Queen quickly?

Meanwhile, Yao Wei was already attacking.

Lu Xi'an immediately coordinated with Yao Wei: "You block this one, I'll take out the one on the back."

Yao Wei responded with a brief "Hmm," and without a word, she struck towards Liang.

Her attacks were fierce, and Liang, struggling with Lu Xi'an, couldn't withstand Yao Wei's full force. He suddenly realized that the woman in front seemed more potent than the man, with every punch, kick, every move hard to fend off.

—Or perhaps, after a prolonged battle, he was already exhausted.

But why didn't the man seem tired?

Liang thought of something and suddenly realized—damn, the Fungus Stone must be on that man!

He couldn't help but glance at Lu Xi'an with eyes full of jealousy and hatred, and that glance left him shocked.

Freed from Liang's entanglement, the man unleashed his hands, striking fully at Duan on Cai Tou's back, flinging Hidden Weapons decisively.

But this barrage was not aimless; they flew "whizz, whizz, whizz" from all directions, sealing off almost all movement directions for Cai Tou and Duan.

"Uh..."

Such a covering attack with Hidden Weapons left even Cai Tou unable to escape being hit, letting out a cry of pain, let alone Duan.

The syringe that had previously hit Liang's ear came to action again, stabbing the side of Duan's head.

Right there, on Duan's temple.

One hit, dead.

Liang and Cai Tou instantly felt their emotions rapidly cooling from excitement, the blood rushing through their veins, and power filling their muscles also abruptly chilled.

Duan's power failed, and their speed quickly decreased, overwhelmed by Flying Ants.

Then submerged.
