After that, Luo Fan began to ponder about the future of his development.
Whether it's his technique's, Footwork movement's... All of them are strong and could be improved.
The only thing that was being left behind was his equipment set.
Hence he decided to check out the Black God set. But it was difficult to obtain at this moment.
After all, the Black God Set was obtained from Ruin No. 9.
If he wanted it, he could completely apply to enter Ruin No. 9.
Ruin No. 9 would open once at the end of September.
At Luo Fan's current rate of progress, by then he would have already reached the War God level.
He could easily enter and obtain the Black God Set himself.
With his current comprehension, he even had confidence that he could surpass Luo Feng from the Earth period.
Therefore, even if it came down to a death trial, he was unafraid.
As for the Black God Set, he was confident he could obtain it.
So, whether or not he went to the Elite Training Camp was completely irrelevant to him.
But Zhuge Tao didn't know any of this.
All he knew was that even War Gods gained tremendous benefits by attending the Elite Training Camp.
"Where are you right now? I'll report your situation."
"As long as what you just said is true, you should be able to directly enter the Elite Training Camp."
"Don't head into the wilderness area yet!"
After saying this, Zhuge Tao hurriedly hung up the phone.
Hearing this, Luo Fan didn't mind at all.
If he went, so be it, there was no loss anyway.
However, just as he was turning back, he suddenly heard a burst of shouting.
"Damn! City 042 has been hit by an insect tide, it's terrifying."
"No kidding. Our squad was just about to head there. Good thing we went for a massage first and hadn't left yet."
Hearing this, Luo Fan's eyes instantly widened.
The place that Fang Xueyi's Rose Squad had gone to two days ago was City 042!
At that moment, Luo Fan also received a communication from Fang Xueyi.
"Huff! Huff! Husband! There's an insect tide here in City 042!"
"This place isn't far from City 030, it might spread there too, be careful!"
But Luo Fan couldn't care about any of that right now.
"I just came back for something—where are you right now?"
As he spoke, completely ignoring the shocked stares from the people around him, Luo Fan stepped onto his shield and shot off in the direction of City 042.
"I'm on the outskirts of City 042 right now. We hadn't entered the city yet, once we heard the noise, we started running."
Fang Xueyi spoke while running.
"Enable location sharing. I'll fly over to you," Luo Fan said directly.
City 042 was about 200 kilometers from the supply base.
At Fang Xueyi's squad's speed, they should have only just arrived not long ago.
If Luo Fan flew there at full speed, he could arrive in just over ten minutes.
Hearing this, Fang Xueyi immediately enabled location sharing.
"Wait for me!"
After saying that, Luo Fan directly hung up the call.
Because from this point on, he wouldn't be able to hear the phone anyway.
"Boom—"
In the next instant, a sonic boom ring formed around Luo Fan's body.
Disregarding the consumption of his spiritual force, his speed instantly surpassed the speed of sound.
At this moment, he was in an extreme rush.
An insect tide was also a type of beast tide.
However, an insect tide was far more terrifying than an ordinary beast tide, or even the rat tide that the original Luo Feng had encountered.
After the Great Nirvana Period, many insects on Earth had also undergone mutations.
After all, insects already possessed incredibly terrifying survival abilities by nature.
On top of that, their reproduction ability was also horrifying.
Even though many died during the Great Nirvana Period,
by now, countless more had already hatched.
With humanity's territory now so small, these evolved insects could easily survive in the wilderness.
Just the corpse of a single Beast Soldier-level creature could feed a massive number of insects.
Although the strongest of Earth's mutated insects were only at the High Lord level, like the Gold-Swallowing Ants,
their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
What was most terrifying was that, unlike the rat tide, an insect tide did include flying species.
Among them were creatures like Bloodthirsty Flying Ants, Poisonous Midges, and Venom-Blade Locusts.
Even if insect-type monsters weren't particularly strong on their own,
and even though the majority of insects in a tide weren't even at Beast Soldier level,
their sheer numbers made them terrifying!
What's worse, they were small.
Finger-sized Mighty Ants, tens of thousands of them, could swarm onto someone all at once.
They could even crawl through the wrists, ankles, or neck openings of a battle suit.
Individually, their strength wasn't much, but when thousands gnawed together, their destructive power was horrifying.
A finger-sized Mighty Ant alone possessed strength comparable to a mid-level trainee.
A single bite was nothing, but what about several bites?
For low-level warriors, an insect tide was even more despair-inducing than a rat tide.
Only some truly powerful warriors had no fear of it.
After all, someone like Luo Fan, with physical fitness close to that of a High-level Warlord,
combined with the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade, which could also be used defensively,
meant that ordinary insects couldn't harm him even if he stood still and let them bite.
But Fang Xueyi and her team were different.
Fang Xueyi had only just reached the level of an Elementary Warlord.
If the numbers grew too large, even she would be in grave danger inside the insect tide.
So, Luo Fan immediately flew toward her at the fastest possible speed.
Before long, following the position on his watch, Luo Fan finally spotted Fang Xueyi.
As he neared the location, he had already started scanning the area.
With his sharp vision, he instantly saw the fleeing members of the Rose Squad below.
Among them, he quickly locked onto a slender figure with a ponytail, wearing a white battle suit.
Seeing that Fang Xueyi was safe, Luo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then glanced toward the direction of City 042, his eyes flashing with lingering fear.
Fortunately, he had flown here right away.
At this moment, a large number of flying insects were already heading toward them.
The sky was filled with swarming insect shapes.
Luo Fan wasn't afraid of these insects.
He just felt extremely disgusted.
This scene alone was enough to make one's sanity plummet.
He quickly landed on the ground, preparing to take the members of the Rose Squad away first.
"Husband!"
The moment Fang Xueyi saw Luo Fan, her eyes lit up, and she leapt toward him.
After catching her, Luo Fan unfolded the backpack on his back.
Warrior backpacks were specially designed.
If needed, the backpack could be expanded to a very large size.
"Grab onto my backpack. I'll carry you back to the supply base,"
Luo Fan said to the women of the Rose Squad.
Without hesitation, they all grabbed onto his backpack.
They had already discarded all their equipment when they saw the terrifying swarm of flying insects in the distance.
At a time like this, running was more important.
The weapons that these warriors carried weren't light.
Especially the ammunition carried by one of the shooters in the Rose Squad, it was terrifyingly heavy.
So, during the escape, they didn't hesitate to drop all their gear.
Just then, another squad of warriors came running over.
There were five of them in total.
Four of them were middle-aged men, clearly battle-hardened warriors.
The remaining one was a man with a panicked expression.
He was being carried on the back of one of the middle-aged men.
They had seen Luo Fan's landing from afar just moments ago.
That was why they were running in this direction.
The middle-aged man carrying the young man spoke earnestly to Luo Fan:
"Respected Spirit Reader, may we ask you to carry our young master back to the supply base?"
"You only need to carry our young master. The four of us can run back on our own."
