17: The insects in the pile of corpses, and the terrified Kun Kun.

Yang Mi's exclamation made the other stars behind her curious.

Cai Xukun's face turned pale, and cold sweat streamed down his cheeks; his already trembling body was now shaking like a sieve.

From his angle, he clearly saw a black insect emerge from the corpse.

The insect was dark blue all over, with a pair of poisonous mandibles on its mouth. It was at least the size of a fist. It had just poked its head out from the rotting corpse pile and was using those sharp poisonous mandibles to bite off a piece of flesh from the rotting corpse.

Cai Xukun looked at the black insect and felt as though its gaze was fixed on him, and the rotting meat in its mouth felt like it was chewing on his own flesh.

"Ah... bugs! Bugs!"

Cai Xukun suddenly screamed, jumped up from the ground, and hurriedly ran behind Hua Chenyu, clutching his clothes while shivering uncontrollably.

Hua Chenyu smelled the thick stench of rot on Cai Xukun and pulled his clothes back in disgust.

"You stink! Stay away from me!"

"Also, what are you screaming for? Of course there are bugs in a pile of corpses. Aren't those just maggots?"

Hua Chenyu pushed Cai Xukun away and instinctively pinched his nose, the disgust on his face clear.

[Hua Chenyu is really awful. Didn't he see that Kun Kun was already scared? Can't he offer some comfort? If he gets traumatized, how will he hold concerts in the future?]

[Exactly! Hua Chenyu, do you have any compassion? Are you jealous of Kun Kun? Your singing is honestly terrible; if people didn't know better, they'd think you were summoning spirits. How dare you look down on my Kun Kun?]

[Bullshit! Our Hua Hua is the best singer. It's your Cai Xukun who's useless. Why don't you mention how incompetent he is? He's a coward, has no brains, and always boasts about being the pillar of the entertainment industry. It's hilarious.]

[It's just a bug, isn't it? Look at our Hua Hua; now that's a man. He didn't even scream. Not like that embarrassing guy.]

[You're not allowed to insult my Hua Hua.]

When the fans heard their idols being insulted by opposing fans, they couldn't sit still and started cursing directly in the Live Stream Room.

Yang Mi and Wu Jing shone their flashlights on the dark insect. Seeing it still eating the rotting meat, the discomfort in their stomachs, which had just subsided, surged again.

Moreover, there was some unknown mucus on the insect's body, which was even more nauseating.

"What kind of bug is this? Why is it so disgusting?"

Wu Jing was also reaching his limit; he didn't come here to watch this bug eat rotting meat.

He turned his head away and tried his best to breathe through his mouth, not daring to use his nose at all.

Now that so many corpses had been found, they should call the police immediately.

"Brother Jing, let's get out of here quickly. This is too disgusting; I can't take it anymore."

"I really don't know what you're all doing staying here."

Zhang Dada really couldn't stand it anymore and spoke to Wu Jing crossly.

"Yeah! What's the point of us staying here? A bunch of unknown bugs and those corpses... don't you find it disgusting?"

Hua Chenyu didn't want to stay for a single second longer and wished he could leave right now. However, he was afraid of encountering other dangers if he left rashly, so he could only wait here to leave with Wu Jing.

Cai Xukun's face was deathly pale. Hearing Zhang Dada and Hua Chenyu urging to leave, he nodded repeatedly. He was so terrified that he could only keep nodding; he wanted to speak, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

Wu Jing also felt they had a point. It was better to go out and call the police. Judging by the clothes on the corpses, they were all local residents; perhaps calling the police was the best solution.

"In that case, let's..."

Before Wu Jing could finish his sentence, he heard a crunching sound.

This was the same sound they had heard before. Hearing it again, they all hurriedly looked toward the source of the noise.

The gazes of Yang Mi, Wu Jing, Reba, and the others all turned toward the corpse pile. At that sight, everyone's pupils suddenly constricted.

From among the group of rotting corpses, a dense swarm of black insects suddenly emerged.

"Ah... bugs!"

"Leave, quickly!"

"Run!! Go now!!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dada shouted in panic, his hair standing on end and a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He turned around, wanting to flee.

"Wait for me!"

Cai Xukun had wanted to leave for a long time. Seeing the other about to go, he snapped out of it and hurriedly followed.

"Don't make a sound if you don't want to die."

Ye Bai suddenly spoke in a solemn tone.

Hearing Ye Bai's voice, both Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun froze.

But when they looked at Ye Bai, their faces were full of displeasure.

"Don't talk!"

Seeing they were about to speak, Wu Jing quickly barked at them.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that ever since they arrived here, Ye Bai's nerves had been taut, as if he were very wary of this corpse pile.

Subconsciously, he felt that Ye Bai might know something, so he scolded them before Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun could speak.

However, this action sparked dissatisfaction among many of their fans.

[Damn, who does Ye Bai think he is? How dare he be so mean to my Kun Kun? Truly hateful.]

[Exactly! On what basis is he shouting at our Kun Kun? In this situation, shouldn't we leave immediately? Is he crazy?]

[Our Great One is right; leaving immediately is the way to go. Setting aside how disgusting it is, those bugs eat rotting meat. What if they hurt our Great One?]

[That's right, Brother Jing even joined Ye Bai in snapping at my Kun Kun. It's so annoying.]

[You guys shut up. Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun are like agitated turkeys, screaming and shouting. If they startle those bugs, everyone will be in danger. You don't know shit!]

[Exactly, don't just scream if you don't understand.]

[But what kind of bug is this? It's my first time seeing such a creature.]

The fans were all curious now. This was the first time they had seen such an insect, and they felt it wasn't anything good.

At the same time, some fans took screenshots of the insect and posted them online to look for answers.

But no answers appeared.

The fans were completely baffled.

They began shouting in the Live Stream Room.

[Holy crap! I couldn't find any information on this bug. Damn! There's something wrong with this insect!]

[I couldn't find anything either. What kind of creature is this? Why is there no information?]

[Could it be an extinct rare species?]

[No way? Then aren't Da Mimi and the others in grave danger? This bug doesn't look like a herbivore!!]

[Damn! Better run fast. I'm so worried this thing is like that giant python. If something really goes wrong, there'll be no use crying!]}],
