I quickly adjusted the direction of the motorcycle and sped off into the distance.
“Vroom vroom vroom—”
The roar of the motorcycle reverberated through the surroundings.
My figure left traces throughout the city.
Residential neighborhoods, shopping malls, streets...
I had been running all night, and the Bug Ball behind me was growing larger and larger.
Finally, I arrived at my destination—
The Municipal Water Plant!
“Vroom vroom vroom—”
The sound of the motorcycle gradually diminished until it completely vanished at the last moment.
“Clang!”
The motorcycle fell to the ground, and I tumbled off with it.
Rubbing my aching head, I let out a wry smile.
I hadn’t expected that the fuel in the motorcycle would be even less than I had imagined...
But it didn’t matter.
After all, I was already here.
Next, all I needed to do was deliver these bugs inside the Municipal Water Plant.
However, at the moment I stopped, I suddenly noticed countless swarms of insects pouring out from the Municipal Water Plant.
They swarmed densely, surging like the waves of the sea.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.
How could there be so many?
But what shocked me even more was what was behind me—
A massive Bug Ball blocked out the moonlight, looming ominously.
It was enormous, at least two stories high.
Countless insects twisted together, forming gigantic tentacles.
At the very center of the Bug Ball, there appeared a structure resembling an eyeball.
It fixated on the Eucalyptus Seedling in my hand, as if contemplating something.
"Click!"
Suddenly, a ringing sound echoed.
I looked down and realized it was my phone ringing.
Picking it up, I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Yao Xiu calling me.
"Hello?!"
I immediately answered the call, and Yao Xiu's anxious voice came through.
"Where on earth have you been?!"
"Don't you know how dangerous it is right now?!"
"The insect plague has only been raging for less than half a month, and you dare to act alone?!"
"Are you out of your mind?!"
Listening to Yao Xiu's furious tirade, I chuckled and told him, "I found the Eucalyptus Seedling from when we first discovered the bugs."
"This sapling can attract the surrounding insects."
"I ran all night, not to discuss coexisting with the bugs."
"But to gather them all together."
"So, I hope you can find a way to eliminate them."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Switching my phone to recording mode, I mimicked a line from a movie and shouted:
"This is my last bout of delusions!"
"This is my final moment of fantasy!"
After that, I tossed my phone aside.
Then, holding the Eucalyptus Seedling, I pointed toward the approaching Bug Ball and shouted:
"Come on!"
"Let's have a showdown between men!!!"
In the shattering of my heroic dreams, I was ultimately surrounded by the military vehicle.
Several soldiers clad in heavy protective gear quickly disembarked from their vehicle, wielding Flame Throwers aimed at the Bug Ball.
Meanwhile, the sound of Rocket Launchers firing echoed from a distance.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
Rocket after rocket struck the Bug Ball, creating a dazzling display of sparks.
Under the dual assault, the Bug Ball's approach slowed significantly.
Finally, one of the soldiers stepped forward and dragged me onto the Military Vehicle.
They then took me directly to the rear lines.
That night, the war between humans and insects raged on.
It wasn't until the last insect was exterminated that the conflict was declared over.
Of course, the military recognized my contributions.
To that end, they even held a special Award Ceremony.
During the meeting, Yao Xiu reached out to me.
He informed me that my actions had been officially recorded.
"Don't worry, I've made sure to note your merit."
"Based on your achievements, you should at least receive a Third-Class Merit."
"So just sit back and wait for your award."
Listening to Yao Xiu's words, I nodded in acknowledgment.
At the award ceremony, I had a meal with Yao Xiu.
As we chatted, our conversation flowed from that night to the present.
I smiled and said, "It's good that we won."
"We don't have to coexist with the bugs anymore."
"Yeah."
Yao Xiu nodded in agreement, "We don't have to coexist with the bugs anymore."
As he spoke, he suddenly sniffed.
"Achoo!"
He sneezed and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I think I caught a cold."
"It's fine."
I waved my hand dismissively, indicating it was no problem.
However, when he raised his hand to wipe his nose, I suddenly noticed a detail—
What was protruding from his nostril didn't seem to be mucus.
It was a bug!
