Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 69 - Mosquito Calamity

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Mosquito Calamity

Chapter 69 -69 Mosquito Calamity

Although there were still occasional injuries to passersby, it was a significant improvement compared to the indiscriminate attacks of the past.

Bai Junjun listened with interest while pinching and eating mushrooms.

Now and then, she would also compliment Bai Sasa on her prowess.

Feeling shy from her older sister’s praises, Bai Sasa smiled with pursed lips.

Compared to the gloom of others, their family’s atmosphere was strikingly odd—they had hot food to eat, endless conversations to enjoy, and the adult men in their family were many, strong in combat.

It felt like this group didn’t need to rely on the Seven-Person Team and that they came here purely to snatch resources.

Sensing the frequent glances cast their way, everyone realized that their behavior was attracting envy, so they gradually fell silent and quietly ate their food before dispersing to their respective tasks.

With over a thousand people spending the night together, there was no need to worry about Bandits attacking; nonetheless, Old Uncle Qiu still took turns keeping watch with his three sons.

After all, they had experienced life and death; they did not wish to go through the pain of parting by death a second time.

After dinner, Bai Junjun continued to curl up near the hay pile, preparing to sleep.

Seeing this, Bai Sasa put aside her slingshot practice and stayed by her side, helping to swat away mosquitoes.

With the arrival of summer, mosquitoes had become more abundant.

Those sleeping in the wild were greatly troubled by mosquitoes, with many suffering from bites so severe that they scratched until they oozed pus.

For the past few days, it had been Bai Sasa helping Bai Junjun with the mosquitoes, and of course, it had always been this way, so she thought nothing of it.

However, at this moment Bai Junjun was already closed-eyed, cultivating and unaware of the cool breeze on her body as her little sister fanned her.

Seeing this, Bai Lingyu mimicked the action and began to fan her older sister as well.

Both children were sensible and well-behaved, prompting a smile from the Qiu family.

The four men of the Qiu family encircled the children and women in the middle, each guarding a corner in a square-like formation.

There was basically no need for a bonfire at this time, except for a few torches left for lighting; most people went to sleep as soon as it got dark.

Once asleep, one wouldn’t feel tired or hungry.

Having slept a lot these past days, Bai Junjun didn’t really fall asleep right away; she strived to channel the essence of wood and plants until around three or four in the morning before sleeping.

But after a while, she was awakened by mosquito bites.

Bai Junjun irritably scratched at the mosquito welts on her hand and sat up sullenly.

In the Apocalypse, there were also mosquitoes.

But the mosquitoes of the Apocalypse had mutated to be bigger than bats, and they swarmed in groups; people of the Apocalypse referred to them as “Mosquito Calamities.”

Moreover, these mosquitoes not only sucked blood but also secreted a highly corrosive acid so potent that even Zombies corroded upon contact, becoming stickier and more aggressive; for ordinary humans, an encounter with them meant not even bones would be left behind.

In addition, these mosquitoes spread viruses, and an unlucky bite—unable to be cured even by a Wood-series Ability User’s healing technique—could spell disaster.

As a result, people of the Apocalypse greatly despised mutant mosquitoes. Whenever a Mosquito Calamity occurred, they would be burned to death by Fire-series Ability Users, or electrocuted by an Electric Net woven by Thunder-series Ability Users.

In short, though mutant mosquitoes could never be completely eradicated, their appearances always received the highest form of hospitality from Special Ability Users in the 666th year of the apocalypse.

Even though the mosquitoes here had not mutated, with the bitter memory engraved in her mind, Bai Junjun loathed them to the core.

The moment she was bitten, she not only woke up instantly but also felt a surge of murderous intent, wishing to eradicate them once and for all.

However, she did not have Fire-series Abilities, nor did she have an Electric Net! At this moment, she could only try to sleep through the mosquitoes like everyone else!

Yet, enduring like the others was something she couldn’t do.

So Bai Junjun sat up, restless and annoyed.
