Chapter 223

Everyone was exhausted from fighting the bugs early in the morning and they all slept until noon .

<hr>

It had been snowing for several days in a row . Today was a rare day where the weather cleared up . Against the backdrop of the snow, the sunlight became even more dazzling . The moment Ye Qi came out, he was stunned by the sun above his head . He hurriedly closed his eyes and held the bottle in his arms .

Little Shao in the bottle was still asleep . This bug seemed to like sleep more than Chief Shao himself? Ye Qi couldn’t understand the bug’s thinking and had to take Chief Shao to the fire .

Old Mo’s Solid Wood Flooring card was really easy to use . Xiao Lou cleaned the snow and set up a fire here to boil hot water . It was comfortable to have a cup of hot water in cold weather, not to mention that they could use the hot water for instant noodles .

The group gathered around the fire for lunch . Ye Qi suddenly had a question . “By the way, what do the bugs eat?”

He took the water bottle out of his arms and pointed to Little Shao lying inside it . “There are eight days to go before the room is cleared . We can’t give him nothing to eat for eight days, right? What if he starves to death?”

The group looked at each other .

Xiao Lou pressed a hand to his temple . “Xiao Ye’s concern is reasonable . We almost ignored the problem of feeding Chief Shao . However, what do the bugs like to eat? Leaves? Gra.s.s? Or… human blood?”

Yu Hanjiang had a serious expression on his face . “Judging from this world’s settings, they are most likely to eat human blood . After all, the bugs will have scarlet eyes after mutation . They stare at humans like humans are food and bite people everywhere . The parasites are also pa.s.sed on through the blood . ”

Ye Qi thought it was very reasonable and spoke seriously, “In addition, the bugs like to bite people . ”

Just then, the little person in the bottle turned over . Ye Qi immediately stared at him . Shao Qingge touched the wall of the mineral water bottle when he turned over . He seemed to be awakened and slowly got up .

He climbed up the wall of the bottle to the mouth of the bottle . Then he held the bottle cap with both hands and seemed to want to open it . Unfortunately, his strength was too weak and he couldn’t push open the lid . Two attempts were unsuccessfully before he slid down the bottle wall .

Ye Qi watched the small figure fight against the water bottle and his heart felt like it was cut with a knife .

He should be angry about being trapped in the bottle, right? However, there was no other way . Ye Qi didn’t dare to let him out .

Xiao Lou carefully watched from the side . He saw Shao Qingge sitting at the bottom of the bottle after sliding back down and whispered softly, “The bug’s climbing ability is indeed very strong . He can climb up such a smooth bottle . ”

Ye Qi focused on another point . “Is he hungry? He is desperately pus.h.i.+ng at the bottle cap . Is he looking for food?”

Xiao Lou couldn’t determine if this was the case or not . After all, he didn’t know the eating habits of the bugs .

Ye Qi suddenly activated the Scissors card and pierced his finger with a sharp scissors . Everyone was shocked, “Xiao Ye, what are you doing?”

The next moment, they knew the answer .

<hr>

They saw Ye Qi drip the blood from his finger into the small hole in the bottle cap . A drop of bright red blood dripped down from the cap . Chief Shao, who was sitting at the bottom, saw it and his eyes brightened . He immediately got up and consumed the blood that Ye Qi fed him .

He licked his lips as if finding Xiao Ye’s blood delicious .

Everyone, “……”

Ye Qi laughed . “He really does like blood . This is good . If he is hungry later then I will feed him a bit . ”

Xiao Lou knew that Ye Qi felt guilty about Shao Qingge being infected in order to protect him . Everyone naturally wouldn’t compete over the task to cut their finger and feed Chief Shao since it would make Ye Qi feel better .

Xiao Lou walked over, patted Ye Qi on the shoulder and showed the contract book to everyone with a smile . “Chief Shao’s name is still on here and it proves that our guess is correct . He isn’t dead . As long as we pa.s.s the instance smoothly, we can take him back to the main city . ”

Ye Qi saw the words ‘Shao Qingge’ on the contract and was so excited that a layer of mist appeared in his eyes . “Great . Chief Shao is still there!”

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang for advice and Yu Hanjiang told him, “Give him to me . ”

Liu Qiao prompted them . “The Thumbelina card’s transformation effect has five minutes left . We need to be ready . ”

Ye Qi nodded and stared nervously at the countdown . Once there were 10 seconds left on the countdown, he opened the cap of the mineral water bottle, gently poured out Chief Shao and quickly stepped back . He was too small when thumb-sized and everyone couldn’t see where he was .

The next moment, the transformation effect was over . A man with a height of more than 1 . 5 metres suddenly appeared in front of everyone . Ye Qi immediately controlled him with a musical instrument .

The man slightly narrowed his eyes and smiled at Ye Qi . “Xiao Ye, what are you doing?”

Ye Qi was shocked and he quivered . “Y-You know me?”

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and immediately flew to Shao Qingge . At a very fast speed, he bound Shao Qingge’s hands and legs with white silk .

Yu Hanjiang specialized in arresting criminals and his skills in binding people were naturally very professional . He tied knots so that Shao Qingge couldn’t break free no matter how great his strength . In this way, he couldn’t attack his teammates even if he had the attack power of a bug .

Ye Qi’s control ended in three seconds and Yu Hanjiang used three seconds to tie up this person .

Shao Qingge smiled . “Group Leader Yu’s skills are still so neat . I have returned to normal now . Do you need to be so guarded against me? The bug in my mind wanted to invade my consciousness but I have a.s.similated them . ”

His tone and smiling expression were exactly the same as the usual Shao Qingge .

Qu Wanyue couldn’t help feeling doubts and she whispered to Long Sen, “Are his words credible?”

Long Sen got goose b.u.mps and said, “I don’t know… the acting skills of the advanced bugs are better . If it is a bug talking right now then he is the Oscar winner among the bugs . ”

Xiao Lou whispered in Ye Qi’s ears . “The Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings . ”

Ye Qi nodded and asked in the channel . “Chief Shao, is it you talking?”

However, there was no response .

Ye Qi reluctantly continued to ask, “Are your words true?”

The question was like a stone sinking into the sea . His mind was empty and for some reason, Ye Qi’s heart was also empty . His nose was tingly as he reported to Xiao Lou, “He isn’t Chief Shao . There is no response . ”

Xiao Lou, “…”

This acting was too much . The bug actually said Xiao Lou’s reasoning that the bug and human would compete for control of the body . The bug’s words were half true and half false . The team would’ve been fooled if they didn’t have the Qin Guan card .

Yu Hanjiang replied lightly, “Of course we believe you . However, no one knows if the bug will regain control of your body or not . For everyone’s safety, I have to temporarily wrong Chief Shao . ”

Shao Qingge, “……”

Not fooled? His eyes narrowed as he stared at Ye Qi . “Xiao Ye, even you don’t believe me?”
