Chapter 347: Chapter 109: Second Hospitalization (Part 3)

Su Xiaocai still drew her whip, wanting to try her previous move, but as the whip swung out, she felt nothing.

The police held their guns, swaying left and right, unable to aim accurately; the speed of the two was too fast, and if they fired, they might accidentally hit their teammates.

Also, this insect, Su Xiaocai had said, it wasn’t afraid of bullets.

Energy bullets couldn’t be used here either; using one would trigger an alarm above, spraying all kinds of flame retardants, making the situation even harder to control.

It was their first time encountering such a troublesome Insect Man.

Some armed police began to wear exoskeletons, planning to join in, but someone beat them to it.

Admiral Bai’s secretary quickly joined the battle, taking turns with Su Xiaocai to attack it.

This time, Su Xiaocai was smarter, using her shield to outmaneuver the Insect Man.

In the waiting room, the sounds of conflict were unending.

Ji Li and the others watched from the periphery of the battle center, chairs flying, floors cracking, and even the alloy pillars were dented by the Insect Man’s strikes.

The more they watched, the more frightened they became, their hearts pounding with fear.

Several times, Su Xiaocai narrowly avoided being hit, bones cracking almost into fragments with just one strike needed.

Su Xiaocai’s ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the insect swarm made Admiral Bai’s secretary secretly admire her, feeling that Su Xiaocai was a godsend of a teammate, knowing when to act and when to yield a position.

Their cooperation was able to multiply effectiveness three or four times.

No wonder Admiral Bai lamented repeatedly that Su Xiaocai didn’t join the army; she was a natural warrior.

The insect swarm grew smaller the more it was attacked, repeatedly trying to escape, but was preemptively anticipated by Su Xiaocai.

Although they could dodge bullets and split into multiple streams, there was always a point where they would converge, unable to flee separately.

Whether the spectators or those in the battle could guess that it had a core, which was also its weak point.

But its core could move freely, and despite the lengthy battle, it had never been exposed.

Su Xiaocai signaled Admiral Bai’s secretary to watch her shield, which wouldn’t last much longer.

Admiral Bai’s secretary immediately understood; she needed to be bait, forcing the insect swarm to expose its weakness.

This was risky, but the quickest and most effective method.

The shield had several cracks and would soon break.

This gave the insect swarm hope, deciding to make a desperate gamble.

The body suddenly split into ten streams, all charging at Su Xiaocai.

“Bang.”

The shield was shattered by the ten insect lines, using all of the Insect Man’s strength.

The shield broke, naturally failing to protect Su Xiaocai, who took a direct hit to the chest, causing her face to pale in pain. She didn’t stop, pressing her body to run.

At this moment, Admiral Bai’s secretary used a small range electric explosive, throwing it directly at the connection of the insect swarm.

Electricity scattered everywhere, the Insect Man emitted a high-decibel explosive noise, allowing everyone to see its core location.

Seizing the momentary paralysis of the Insect Man, Admiral Bai’s secretary reached out with the mecha hand to grab it.

Seeing itself about to die, the insect swarm struggled desperately, forcibly operating the core, its body splitting in half, flying off, spinning several times in the air, and landing right in front of Su Xiaocai.

The insect swarm still had cognitive ability, intending to devour Su Xiaocai, as consuming her would allow it to restore energy and replicate its insect body.

Su Xiaocai hurriedly leaned against an uninhabited column on one side.

The insect swarm madly approached, everyone could see what it intended to do.

Porlin and the other cops hurriedly provided support, intending to suppress with firepower.

However, they were a step too late.

Quicker than them was a small figure that leapt out, pinning down the insect swarm, its claws opened, ferociously digging out the core, biting it, and then walked away lightly.

With the core removed, the insect swarm immediately liquefied, spilling onto the ground.

The adorable fluffy ball strutted with a victorious cat stride, walking to Su Xiaocai’s side, presenting the insect swarm core as a gift to her hand.

The beloved scooper was injured and needed some replenishment. As its master, it had to treat its scooper well.

Licking its paws, Huahua posed triumphantly, lying down with its tail resting on Su Xiaocai’s hand, vertical pupils tensely watching others, like a cute little soldier, stopping anyone from taking its food.

The final winner was Huahua, and all these pesky commoners were there to serve it.

Huahua accepted others’ curious gazes with full confidence.

The puddle on the ground hadn’t totally lost its mobility, still slowly moving towards the core.

Su Xiaocai covered the core with a triangular shield.

The insect swarm collapsed on the ground, completely motionless.

Porlin and Admiral Bai’s secretary rushed forward, taking out containment vessels to secure the insect swarm, preventing any further counterattacks.

Ji Li was the first to run over to check Su Xiaocai’s injuries, using a small scan device for an initial check-up.

“No need to check, it’s broken,” Su Xiaocai knew the feeling of a break, trying not to move, speaking dejectedly, “Call an ambulance.”

Kaye: Why is it that his boss, even injured like this, can still make jokes.

Ji Li couldn’t help but laugh; how could anyone have such a positive attitude—injured but still playful.

“Your troublesome constitution really is an issue; you should wear an exoskeleton in the future.”

“I did, but I couldn’t use it.”

Using it would be akin to announcing to the world that she had many good things, with patents not yet secured, inviting everyone to rob her.

Besides, there were soldiers and armed police present, all believing they could contribute.

But in the end, only Admiral Bai’s secretary could contend with the insect swarm.

He wasn’t particularly reliable either, even with the exoskeleton, he was still at a disadvantage.

…

Entering the hospital for the second time, it was already the early hours, this time Su Xiaocai was treated while conscious.

Her ribs were broken, the hospital administered a small amount of anesthesia, then inserted medical pins into the bones, minimally invasive fixing of the ribs.

Treatment only took half an hour, after which Su Xiaocai was pushed into the treatment pod again, isolating external bacteria, repairing the micro-invasive wounds.

This process also took half an hour.

Midway through, because the treatment pod was too comfortable, she fell asleep upon lying down, unaware of the upheaval occurring outside.

Such as all students, teachers, and staff at Jun Ya Academy being about to be investigated.

Porlin wanted to borrow Huahua, but Ji Li refused, subconsciously believing they’d use Huahua as a tool cat without careful care.

He suggested they first identify suspects themselves, then have Huahua distinguish; relying entirely on Huahua would overwhelm it.

Borrow once, and there would be a second; they would often borrow Huahua under the guise of benefiting the people, and borrowing would eventually make it theirs.

Even if Porlin wasn’t that shameful, there’s no guarantee others wouldn’t be.

If Huahua had offspring inheriting its abilities, it could be tried, but as a single cat, it wasn’t suited to be a tool cat.

Lazy and greedy, the little guy was best off being Su Xiaocai’s Huahua at home.

Ji Li staunchly protected Huahua’s rights, not letting Porlin succeed.

Then came the spectators at the space station, recklessly recording video, uploading the footage of Su Xiaocai and Admiral Bai’s secretary battling the Insect Man online.

Deploying AI to ban it, but it couldn’t be stopped.

Naturally, the phenomenon of impressing others with ’brick tickets’ re-emerged.

Sister Cai’s combat video, first collected, then analyzed frame by frame.

Even the King of Death joined the fan army, transitioning from a nearly detractor to a “Cai fan.”

Extraordinary Island brought him great success, so he decided to be a devoted fan of Caicai.

A follower who isn’t motivated by love, but in other matters, following devoutly could bring everything.

Impressing others with ’brick tickets’ and teaming up hand in hand, they hyped up super gardening achievements, making the main stars ashamed to watch.

With the video being widely spread again, it drew high-level attention, making citizens feel the Capital Star was unsafe, wanting to escape en masse.

The government had a headache over this.

If these people who fled at every breeze feared invasions could be more severe on other planets than the Capital Star?

Anyway, under this widely witnessed disturbance, it was another disastrous day for the Law Enforcement Department.

…

After a few hours of sleep, Su Xiaocai felt much better mentally.

In the ward, only Ji Li and Huahua remained; Ji Li was slumped on the sofa asleep, the sofa ill-fitting his height, looking quite pitiful.

Su Xiaocai got up, quietly exited the treatment pod, gently stroked her rib area, feeling a slight sting, but it shouldn’t affect daily work.
