Gasoline Bomb

The crystal coins that Xiao Zhe and the others obtained from killing the mutated ants during the day were distributed to the participants. Most of them used the crystal coins to buy a black longsword similar to the one in Yang Xiao's hand. Xu Hua, who had initially received four crystal coins, now only had one left.

Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhe and asked, "How many crystal coins do you have left in your team? Gather them together and buy armor for Xu Hua."

Xiao Zhe quickly asked his brothers beside him, and in the end, he only managed to gather five crystal coins.

"There are only five. It's not enough."

"I can lend you 5 crystal coins for now, but you need to return them to me after the mission is completed."

"Okay, no problem. As long as we can successfully burn the hornets, I promise to give you back five crystal coins. Xu Hua, if the mission is accomplished, consider this armor a gift."

When Xu Hua heard this, he was a little happy.

Therefore, everyone discussed the details again and went back to rest. They would take action before dawn.

At around 6 a.m., the sky was gray. Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, and the others gathered together again.

The ten boys brought the fuel tanks to the pre-selected place and quickly poured the gasoline in the fuel tanks onto the plastic track on the playground.

Because the track was covered with plastic, the gasoline would not seep into the soil.

They poured seven tanks of gasoline and placed three half-filled tanks in a triangular shape, about 20 meters apart, on the track filled with gasoline as a gasoline bomb.

Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, and Dai Yun, as the fire starters, positioned themselves at three different locations to ensure that if the hornets entered any of these areas, they could ignite the gasoline simultaneously from three directions, trapping the hornets in a fiery inferno.

Everything was ready. Xu Hua, who was wearing armor, activated his bronze Skin. He held a black sword in his hand and ran into the center of the playground.

Xu Hua ran for more than 100 meters and saw a swarm of hornets on the ground. He gritted his teeth and waved his sword as he rushed into the hornet swarm.

With a buzz, the hornets were suddenly frightened and all flew up.

Xu Hua felt as if his body had bumped into more than ten hornets.

His sole purpose was to lure the hornets. Wielding his sword, he sprinted at full speed, swiftly passing through and effortlessly killing several hornets along the way.

The hornet swarm went crazy and chased after Xu Hua. They were only two to three meters above the ground.

Before, Xu Hua had only heard about poking hornets' nests without really knowing what it was like. Now, he finally understood. Behind him, at a distance of several dozen meters, a swarm of hornets buzzed and chased after him madly.

These were mutated hornets, and each of them was the size of a sparrow.

Xu Hua didn't dare to be negligent. He ran like crazy and was about to enter the track filled with gasoline.

Yang Xiao was the first fire starter. He lay on the grass, covered by a green camouflage suit, and had some messy grass on his hair as a disguise. He was about ten meters away from the track filled with gasoline.

Xiao Zhe and Dai Yun were dressed similarly, but their ambush positions were different.

In Yang Xiao's hand, he held a lighter, and in his left hand, he had a piece of rag soaked in gasoline. To ensure that the gasoline-soaked cloth could be quickly thrown into the track, there was a stone wrapped inside the rag.

Seeing Xu Hua running over, Yang Xiao was still very nervous, and his body trembled slightly.

With a swift movement, Xu Hua stepped into the gasoline-filled track, causing some gasoline to splash around. He dashed forward like a gust of wind.

In just an instant, a swarm of black hornets buzzed and chased after them, flying into the track covered with gasoline.

Yang Xiao ignited the cloth and threw it into the track.

With a deafening roar, the gasoline's flames shot up, reaching a height of 4 to 5 meters.

Yang Xiao didn't care about the effect. He quickly got up and ran dozens of meters away before lying down on the playground again.

At the same time, Xiao Zhe and Dai Yun also lit up the gasoline on the track and transformed into werewolves. They quickly ran dozens of meters away and lay down on the ground.

In the distance, Huang Wen and the others watched nervously as the raging flames rose into the sky, illuminating the dawn sky.

After the hornets entered the track, they were suddenly attacked by flames that soared into the sky.

Hissing and crackling sounds filled the air as the flames burned fiercely.

Although these mutated wasps were ferocious, they were instantly surrounded by the flames. The first things that burned were their wings. After their wings were burned, they could not fly or escape. They fell into the flames one by one.

A small portion of the mutant hornets were lucky enough to escape the first wave of attacks. Just as they were about to spread their wings and fly out of the encirclement of the flames, three loud bangs suddenly sounded.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The three gas tanks exploded, and the huge flames and strong shock waves directly shot down these lucky hornets and burned them.

Yang Xiao was lying on his stomach a few dozen meters away from the burning track. He felt the track tremble slightly.

The loud explosion woke up everyone who was sleeping. Everyone threw themselves out and saw the flames on the playground. They did not know what had happened and were terrified.

The fire burned for half an hour before it gradually extinguished. Huang Wen and the others could see that almost all the hornets had been wiped out. Although more than a dozen had escaped by luck, they were no longer a threat to everyone.

Xu Hua ran into the 50-meter protection circle of the Gene Store in one breath before stopping and panting heavily.

When he turned around and saw the raging fire behind him, he was also terrified. If Yang Xiao and the others could not grasp the opportunity, or if he accidentally fell inside, he would probably have become a roasted pig by now.

Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, Dai Yun, and the others had already stood up.

According to their pre-arranged plan, Huang Wen led the group of four girls along with the five girls from Xiao Zhe's team. In total, there were ten people lined up in a carpet-style search, combing the ground for any dropped hornet genetic fragments.

The people from Xiao Zhe's team were Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and the others.

The ground was littered with charred hornet corpses. Yang Xiao picked up a hornet corpse and smelled it. It smelled like gasoline.

He peeled off the outer shell of the hornet, revealing the roasted meat inside, which was still steaming.

He took a small bite. It was crispy and delicious, with a slight fragrance of honey.

"Xiao Zhe, do you want those hornet corpses?"

Xiao Zhe hesitated for a moment.

"They smell like gasoline. Are they edible?"

"Hehe, you guys have a lot of food. We lack food and can't compare to you."

As Yang Xia said this, he picked up a charred hornet corpse and handed it to Xiao Zhe. Xiao Zhe took it, smelling a hint of gasoline, feeling somewhat disgusted. Just then, Xu Hua walked over, so he passed the charred hornet corpse to Xu Hua.

"Xu Hua, do you want to eat this?"

Xu Hua took a whiff. There was a pungent smell of gasoline. He immediately shook his head.

"Now that there are no hornets to trouble us, we can go out and kill mutated creatures. It's not a problem to eat something clean."

Xu Hua deliberately pretended to be magnanimous.
