Seconds Ticking

The insect’s shrill wails echoed in the night like fingernails scraping over a piece of glass.

As if some message was transmitted, two insects that were following behind leaped towards the heavily injured member, their antennae rotating rapidly.

Those further away leaped over as well, the number of insects increasing.

Luo Yuan observed the scene, his expression darkening as he realized the insects already far ahead were coming back.

The crisp buzzing sound they made could be heard everywhere. The same species of insects seemed to be gathering there from all around the area.

Their cries rang through the night endlessly, as if they were communicating.

These particular insects had developed a sort of intelligence after they mutated and formed a colony. This phenomenon, which usually only occurred among mammals, could now be seen among low-level insects.
