I traded scrap metal for hundreds of billions

Chapter 25 Wen Zhi, I'm here to save you
Wen Zhi's two legs could never outrun thousands of centipedes.

But in an instant, she was surrounded by a group of tall and terrifying centipedes.

There is no escape.

Wen Zhi was pale, her body was shaking, her legs were weak, and she barely managed to stand with all her strength.

She looked up at the black centipedes that surrounded her tightly, with no end in sight. They all opened their bloody mouths towards her and made shrill screams.

The sound hurt her eardrums and the back of her head felt tight and painful.

Wen Zhi immediately covered her ears, trying to relieve the severe pain.

Instead of getting better, the condition got worse.

Those shrill cries seemed to ignore physics and attack her mind directly.

"It hurts!"

Wen Zhi felt that her entire head was about to explode with pain, and her vision gradually became blurry.

Faintly, she saw a hint of deep red appear among the black giant insect.

It was the red centipede with two holes corroded by Wen Zhi using alcohol.

Like a proud and noble queen, it walked up to her with a provocative step and looked at her with its two dark holes.

"hiss--"

Then he let out a long, angry roar.

The sound penetrated everything and reached deep into Wen Zhi's soul, shaking the model in her mind.

Fear arose in her eyes, and her heart couldn't stop trembling as she looked at the angry red giant insect.

“This time I’m really dead.”

The next second, the red centipede opened its tattered mouth.

The originally long and thin tongue now split into ten thinner and longer red tongues from the tip like a blooming flower, heading towards Wen Zhi's face.

Wen Zhi looked at this strange scene, smelled the strong scent of death in the air, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.

She reflexively put her hands in front of her face.

At the moment of life and death, Quan Yuan's face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she called out those two words without thinking.

"Quan Yuan!"

The next second, she clearly heard Quan Yuan's response.

"Wen Zhi, I'm here."

call out--

An arrow of golden light flew over from a distance and hit the split red tongue accurately!

Cut it off with one arrow!
"hiss!"

The giant red centipede let out a sharp cry of pain.

Wen Zhi quickly looked back and saw Quan Yuan wearing a golden mecha, using his mental power to control the mechanical weapon in his hand and shooting another powerful arrow.

The golden light was like a meteor, shooting from high above at the speed of light into the head of the giant red insect behind her.

"hiss--"

boom!
The giant red insect screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and began to struggle violently.

Wen Zhi shouted excitedly: "Quan Yuan, I'm here!"

Quan Yuan, wearing a heavy mecha, stepped on the heads of the group of black centipedes and quickly came to Wen Zhi with light movements.

He hugged her waist and his warm breath hit her ears.

"Wen Zhi, I'm here to save you."

Wen Zhi's eyes instantly turned red. She hugged his waist tightly and choked up, "Quan Yuan, I was almost dead~"

With a bit of coquettish grievance.

Quan Yuan's eyes softened and he held her tighter with one hand.

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."

After saying that, he stood in front of the giant red insect and transformed the mechanical weapon into a golden lightsaber.

The tip of the sword was aimed at the head of the giant red worm, and it chopped it down without hesitation. The giant red worm, which was already dying, lost its head and died on the spot!

When the group of black centipedes saw the giant red insect die, they instantly burst into sharp roars of anger.

"hiss!"

"hiss!!!"

……

The shouts became louder and louder, and they looked at Quan Yuan and Wen Zhi in the middle with hatred, wishing they could tear them into pieces.

But Quan Yuan was not afraid at all. He looked towards the group of angry black centipedes with a sneer on his face and endless murderous intent in his cold eyes.

"Your Zerg Queen is dead, now it's your turn!"

The next second, countless white mechanical insects flew out from the blood mist.

They were so dense and swarming, like a ball of white rain, that they clearly drilled into the heads of the giant black centipedes.

Quan Yuan pressed Wen Zhi's head against his chest and used his mental power to form a golden protective shield to protect her tightly.

Wen Zhi's eyes suddenly went dark and she could not see anything. She could only hear the same explosion sound as last time.

The difference is that this time the explosions were more frequent and lasted longer than before.

It lasted so long that she could no longer hear the sound of the explosions, and began to clearly hear Quan Yuan's strong heartbeat.

"Boom."

"Dong dong."

……

The cool scent of cedar also passed through the heavy mecha and reached Wen Zhi's nose, soothing her tense nerves.

She hugged Quan Yuan's waist tightly, wishing she could hang her entire body on him, trying hard to smell the pleasant scent that made her feel soothed.

Wen Zhi, who had relaxed, couldn't help but ask, "Quan Yuan, where does this smell on you come from? Why does it smell so good?"

She found the smell particularly soothing and calming, and it would be great if she could take some back with her.

Quan Yuan, who was holding Wen Zhi, paused, his eyes darkened, and he slowly lowered his deep gaze.

"What is the taste?"

Wen Zhi, who was leaning in his arms, described it seriously: "It's a cool cedar scent, clean and pure, and it gives me a sense of security."

When Quan Yuan heard this, his body was shocked. He loosened his hands slightly, allowing Wen Zhi to raise her head from his arms and look into her eyes.

“You actually smelled it?”

Wen Zhi nodded gently, smiled and said, "I smell it, it smells good."

Hearing this, Quan Yuan moved his slender fingers from her waist up little by little to her snow-white neck and gently pinched the tender flesh there.

There was a darkness in his eyes, and his thin lips, pursed into a line, began to slowly rise.

"Do you want to know where that smell comes from?"

Wen Zhi felt her neck being kneaded lightly, as if Quan Yuan was playing with her whole body. She inexplicably felt a little flustered.

She rolled her dark eyes and bit her pink lips.

"No, I suddenly don't really want to know."

Her intuition told her that this would not be a good answer!

Quan Yuan laughed, "Then I'll tell you when you want to know later."

Then he gently scratched her neck with his fingertips.

A tingling sensation came over Wen Zhi, making her body almost go limp and she fell into Quan Yuan's arms.

She quickly steadied herself and saw that the giant centipedes were all blown to death, and cheers of victory were heard in the distance.

She immediately withdrew from Quan Yuan's arms and asked, "Is the war with the Zerg over?"

When Quan Yuan saw that his arms were empty, a dark light flashed in his eyes. Then he stood beside Wen Zhi, looking at the bloody battlefield with corpses everywhere in front of him, his face solemn.

"It's only temporary safety now. Now that the Zerg Queen is dead, the Zerg will never give up. I'm afraid they will launch a more violent attack at midnight tonight."

Having said this, he lowered his head, his eyes filled with worry, and his face looked extremely serious.

"Wen Zhi, you can't stay here, you have to go back immediately."
