New Gods of North America

"Pay attention, it's 'mushrooms' and 'poisonous ants'!"

This sentence is not only to inform the companions in the room, but also to remind the companions who are on guard outside what kind of tools to use and what kind of preventive measures to take.

Wayne and his team had agreed on a series of code names.

Just taking "bugs" for example, one or several big ones are called "moths", those that can fly and are aggressive are called "wasp" or "bee swarm", a small number of those that crawl on the ground are called "cockroaches", and a group of them that crawl on the ground and bite people are called "poisonous ants".

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the house was filled with smoke and foul smells.

Dust similar to mushroom spores was still floating in the air, and the air was full of pungent smells, which smelled like a public toilet that had just been cleaned with intensive cleaning or had not been cleaned for a long time.

But the smell is good,

Judging from the movement we just saw, the "little dots" spreading all over the room at this moment will kill us very quickly.

Damon MacCready also responded quickly.

By this time he had grabbed the railing nailed from the outside, jumped onto the windowsill, and then sprinkled things around him with one hand.

Wayne blocked a "fire wall" and then threw a spherical bottle of kerosene onto the man's clothes.

At this time, countless "little dots" were still pouring out from there, spreading outwards like stagnant water.

Then a lit match flew over.

Set fire to the guy's clothes that were still being "flattened" down.

It cannot be said that the flame is useless, but the effect seems to be limited.

At least on Wayne's side, some of the "little dots" continued to crawl around the wall of fire, while others used corpses to pave a path in the wall of fire, converging into a "white line" that looked more dense.

For a while, several people in the room were busy.

Only Peter looked relatively relaxed, like a starving ghost in a buffet restaurant. His two front legs were busy non-stop, and he seemed to be enjoying the food, one bite at a time.

Wayne also spilled all the stuff he had with him.

I sprinkled kerosene, sprinkled holy water, and opened a packet of insecticide.

All are useful.

But they are not that useful.

The most annoying thing is that these "little dots" can climb up the walls, and it seems like there's no way to stop them.

Wayne had already touched the last spherical bottle hanging on his belt. Seeing that there was holy water inside, he prepared to inject spiritual power into the spherical bottle, intending to blow up a "small firework" to wipe out the entire group.

As a result, the spiritual power was just injected,

The "little dots" in the surrounding spherical space, like ants encountering pesticides, circled around to form a "blank" area.

Wayne had a flash of inspiration.

While slowing down the speed of injecting spiritual power into the bottle, he drove the "little dots" away like a torch.

While shouting to the other side, "Try injecting spiritual power into the things. They seem to be afraid of this."

From Lina's side, there was soon a sound of stomping feet and someone slapping mosquitoes.

At the same time, there was her accusation, "You are a liar!"

ah?

At the other end, several "fire dragons" lit with kerosene swam around the room as if they had life, bringing with them a series of tiny, dense popping sounds.

From the perspective of "killing the enemy", the effect is good.

But from the perspective of "plugging leaks", there are leaks everywhere.

Wayne's situation is similar.

It can be driven away, but it will only lead to another problem.

"If it doesn't work, we'll retreat first and set fire to the house outside! Do you have a way to retreat?" Wayne asked.

"Can!"

"no problem."

Wayne was fighting and retreating at this end of the corridor - he stomped his feet back a few times after taking two steps back, trying to kill more small insects - and then he threw the holy water bottle in his hand like a holy grenade, killing a group of people in the corridor.

Just as I was about to retreat back to the kitchen, break open the newly nailed iron bars on the window and run away,

Peter was rummaging through a pile of dead insects that had been ravaged by the "fire dragon". He even seemed to be digging under the wooden floor for a few times, and then he raised his two slender front legs -

A slightly fatter and bigger "little dot" was picked up by it.

…

Although a thorough cleaning and renovation is inevitable,

But the house itself was saved after all.

After all, it was a townhouse, and one side of the wall was shared with the neighboring house. When Wayne was thinking about burning the house, he was already mentally prepared to pay compensation to at least two more families.

Theoretically, among these four people from the school of life, only one may have died in the end.

I say "possibly" because the body of the "stinky mushroom man" is indeed dead and heartless, and even contains extraordinary materials.

However, Damon MacCready, who had been wrestling with him before, had his left upper arm obviously mutated because he was directly sprayed with a large number of "spores".

There is a violent treatment method called "cutting flesh to heal wounds" or "scraping bones to cure poison".

Even if we consider this treatment method, there is no time to "cut out the flesh" from the mutated part of his arm, and he will probably have to undergo "amputation".

This mutated part seemed to have some degree of "symbiosis" with him.

The power of this hand is greater, and the self-healing ability is stronger. Without affecting Damon MacCready's original extraordinary ability, it seems that there is an additional extraordinary ability -

He can now change the state of this part of his body individually, such as making it "hardened".

Just cut a hole with a knife and you can see a bunch of tiny "roots" inside. They are quite lively and don't look normal no matter how you look at them.

As for the one that split into a "bug" before, it was now locked in a glass landscape fish tank.

After reuniting, he looked weak and skinny, and it was not certain whether it was true or not, but he said that he would be unable to move in the short term and was almost paralyzed.

Willy was left to negotiate with the local police and discuss compensation.

The other members of the detective agency took Damon MacCready and several captives and hurried to Mr. Ben Harmon's estate, and then sent a team to Richmond.

If you can get something out of the half-day trip, then that's basically enough time.

If they can't get the answer, there's no need to worry too much, just let the church handle it. Wayne and the others will have to rush back overnight to continue protecting their employer - Lina doesn't want to go to the cathedral, and wants to return to the manor to continue her undercover work, and take a shower by the way.

Several carriages were conducting interrogations on the road.

Wayne was guarding the big fish tank and slightly opened the "coffin lid" to chat with the "ant monster" inside.

After preliminary questioning, he should be the leader of this group.

Although the "ant monster" has collapsed in the tank, its attitude is still quite arrogant:

"Do you know who I belong to? If they find out, I won't let you go!"

Wayne was scratching his ear, "I know, Cohen Pharmaceuticals or the School of Life Sciences, or is there someone behind you?"

The other party was silent for a while, "Who are you? Where are we going?"

"We are just a group of ordinary bodyguards who have been protecting Mr. Ben Harmon's safety recently. As for where we are going...we are now heading to Richmond, and our destination is the cathedral of the Virginia Diocese." Wayne replied.

"Are you from the Holy Spirit Church?" the other party asked.

"It's too much trouble to keep asking like this. We have limited time."

Wayne moved a little closer to the glass tank and said, "We have no direct hatred against you. It's just that you attacked our employer, so we fought back in self-defense.

"Well, if you can answer my questions honestly, I will just tell the church that you may be members of the School of Life. As for what you will explain to the church later, that is your own business.

"What do you think of this deal?"
