Rebirth of the Star God Agent

Chapter 160: Worms appearing in the tunnel

Qi Zhongyuan stood at the entrance of the passage, staring intently at the darkness deep in the passage.

Now, he finally understood. Because he hadn't seen his son, he just missed him and was worried about him.

But now that his son is right in front of him, he can only watch his son take risks.

Stand in front of everyone and face unknown dangers.

Qi Zhongyuan felt very upset. He wanted to go, but he knew he couldn't.

Qi Ji's strength had long surpassed his. He was very concerned about family matters, and he had heard his younger brother Qi Xiaoyuan talk to him more than once about Zhai Anle's existence and his unfathomable strength.

Qi Zhongyuan trusts his son, Qi Xiaoyuan, and Zhai Anle.

If he goes with them, he might become a burden to the two children.

No matter how sad he felt, he still accepted the children's arrangement.

Zhou Huaichen stood beside him, saying nothing, silently looking at Zhou Zhou and Yin Yuanbao who were standing not far away.

Zhou Huaichen was quite regretful now. Qi Ye's words yesterday had dealt him a heavy blow.

During the time when Zhou Zhou's depression triggered his autism, Qi Zhongyuan and Qi Xiaoyuan had not yet contacted each other. He really didn't know.

Later, Qi Zhongyuan contacted Qi Xiaoyuan, and Zhou Zhou's condition had stabilized. Qi Xiaoyuan didn't specifically mention the matter to Qi Zhongyuan, as the situation wasn't optimistic at the time. Both families were on the brink of collapse.

As long as Zhou Zhou is fine, everyone will focus most of their energy on the family.

Moreover, Qi Xiaoyuan communicated with Zhou Huaishan every day. Zhou Huaishan was afraid of causing him to worry too much. When talking about her nephew's situation, Zhou Huaishan always stubbornly said, "I will take good care of Zhou Zhou."

There is so much that Zhou Huaichen doesn’t know. This not knowing actually shows that he doesn’t care about his son and sister at all.

Zhou Huaichen and Qi Zhongyuan stared at the entrance of the passage together. It had been more than forty minutes since Zhai Anle and Qi Ji entered the passage.

Qi Zhongyuan was already very nervous, but Zhou Huaichen himself did not realize how much time had passed. He was immersed in his own thoughts for a long time.

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji had already gone down to nearly a hundred meters underground.

The overhead spotlight was bright, allowing the two to see their surroundings clearly. Because they needed to observe the environment and watch for worms, they moved very slowly.

Qi Ji's lessons at the military academy weren't in vain. He soon discovered traces of slime left by worms in the cracks between the stone bricks in the corner.

Zhai Anle was called over by Qi Ji, and the two of them squatted beside the stone brick, carefully observing the gap between the bricks.

Sure enough, there was a worm in the tiny gap. It moved very slowly and was wriggling into the gap little by little.

Zhai Anle narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he heard Mo Linfeng call out from the communication: "Anle, there is someone behind Qi Ji."

Mo Linfeng has the best perspective at this time.

Zhai Anle pulled Qi Ji away from his side, and they both took two steps back.

The gap between the bricks didn't seem to be that tight. Then a terrifying scene appeared.

As if the worms had smelled something, they began to scramble out of the cracks, little by little. Soon, the brick vibrated slightly. Ink-red worms appeared along the four cracks of the brick, twisting and wriggling in a sickening manner.

As if it wanted to get out of the gap quickly, a worm soon crawled out half of its body, and the direction it was wriggling in was obviously the location of Zhai Anle and Qi Ji.

Zhai Anle's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand and threw a fireball at the stone slab.

The fireball was not big, but the scorching fireball soon burned the worm's sebum, and the dark red worms around the stone bricks quickly burned into a black charcoal color.

However, the charred corpses of the worms were soon filled with dark red worms again.

Qi Ji had cold sweat on his forehead. As he had been observing the situation around him, he noticed that the exit of the passage was not far ahead, and it disappeared into the darkness ahead.

Zhai Anle also heard some movement this time, a very subtle movement. More than ten meters away, there was the sound of worms crawling. The mucus that the worms crawled through seemed to be crawled by other worms.

A sticky and disgusting sound.

Zhai Anle didn't think any more and directly picked up the expanding metal and sprayed it on the loose gaps in the stone bricks.

His voice was a little hurried. "Aji, finish spraying everything here. Be careful, the worms inside are coming out."

Zhai Anle chose to spray the expanded metal first for future considerations. Within three months, the worms seemed unable to devour the expanded metal.

They will most likely continue to use this passage within the next three months. Whether it can guarantee safe use for three months will depend on the subsequent situation.

Those subtle movements seemed to be closer, and Qi Ji also heard them.

He turned on all the lights on the top of his protective suit, and all the spotlights surrounding his head were lit.

The sight of that place, over ten meters away, sent a shiver down Zhai Anle's spine. He finally understood why Qi Junyi had such a psychological trauma. The sight of him made Zhai Anle feel so nauseous he wanted to vomit.

Qi Ji was not in a much better situation, but he was immediately pulled back by Zhai Anle.

Because the spotlight covered a wide area, they could vaguely see that the densely packed worms were moving towards them along the depths of the passage, like an inky red tide with prickly edges.

Zhai Anle gritted his teeth and said, "Continue spraying. When you're two meters away, you use the vacuum cleaner and I'll continue spraying."

Qi Ji now felt a tingling sensation on his back, which was very uncomfortable, but he said nothing and just obediently continued to spray the expanded metal.

The two men sprayed expanded metal while staring at the dark tide of worms coming towards them.

They wanted to reinforce the passage, and reinforce it into the space at the end of the passage. Although the passage could accommodate three or four people walking side by side, the space was narrow and not suitable for a large group of people to move around.

As Zhai Anle and Qi Ji moved, the worms also approached them, the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer. Five meters, four meters, three meters...

Qi Ji handed the spray bottle in his hand to Zhai Anle, and took out the vacuum cleaner. The energy had already penetrated. Qi Ji took a few steps forward, aimed at the wriggling undercurrent, and turned on the space vacuum cleaner.

At this moment, Mo Linfeng truly felt the power of the space vacuum cleaner.

This is not a vacuum cleaner at all, it is definitely a killer against worms.

The powerful suction, without making any noise, sucked up nearly two square meters of worms from the stone brick surface in the blink of an eye. The vacuum cleaner's suction port is equipped with a bucket. The round bucket also prevents worms from being sucked in when the vacuum cleaner is turned off, preventing them from coming into close contact with people.

Qi Ji carefully sucked in the nearby worms bit by bit. Although this would be slower, it was able to clean up the worms.

Since Zhai Anle sprays by himself, the process will be slower.

Mo Linfeng gritted his teeth, suppressed his nausea, and continued to carefully observe the situation around Zhai Anle and Qi Ji in the passage.

The worms move slowly, so although Zhai Anle and Qi Ji's movements are slow, they are still moving forward into the passage little by little.

More than an hour had passed, and the people waiting outside the passage were becoming increasingly impatient.

Zhai Anle and Qi Ji were almost approaching the exit of the passage at this time.

Their flashlights had also illuminated a little bit of the situation outside the passage.

The outside of the tunnel was not yet filled with worms, but they could clearly see that worms kept pouring out from somewhere in the excavated ruins. However, the worms did not stay inside, but rushed into the tunnel and came towards the two of them.
