Photographs and a Small Town / The Drinking Contest Demon

"Buzz buzz buzz~" An annoying sound came from the sky at this moment.

A swarm of dozens of winged Needle Flea descended from the sky and attacked the vehicle.

Seeing this, Suika did not make a move but instead called out

"Shanghai, I'll leave that area to you for protection. I'm going outside to warm up."

With that, she leaped out of the protection of the flames.

As Matt watched the Needle Flea attack, he was still wondering who the "Shanghai" that Suika had mentioned was when the doll in Lainie's hand suddenly started moving.

She pulled a lance longer than herself from under her skirt and charged back at the Needle Flea.

A sonic boom rang out, and in less than a second the doll flew back to Lainie's side, while the previously menacing Needle Flea in the air had been reduced to a pile of fragments.

Faced with Shanghai's speed of up to Mach 2, none of these flying Needle Flea could last more than a second.

Chapter 483 Photos and the Town

Less than five minutes later, Suika returned with a satisfied look on her face.

As soon as I approached the car, I noticed several people giving me strange looks.

Lainie looked at Suika with adoration.

"My sister was laughing so hard just now..."

"Uh..." Suika touched her face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Since leaving Chernobog, Suika hasn't had a satisfying battle, so she's been holding back.

Even when encountering enemies, she most of the time she wouldn't choose to turn them into mincemeat.

These Needle Flea are different; for Suika, crushing an insect with a single slap is no psychological burden whatsoever.

So the fight went a little more recklessly.

When it comes to fighting, the thrill makes you happy, and happiness makes you want to laugh.

And she just...

Recalling her laughter just now, Suika felt that she was probably only one step away from social annihilation.

And this step is...

"Did you all hear that?" Suika asked cautiously.

Upon hearing Suika's question, the others turned their heads away and changed the subject.

Okay, that step is skipped...

The light in Suika's eyes disappeared.

"Cough cough... I wasn't the one laughing just now... definitely not..."

Suika is lying through her teeth.

"Ah, right, right, right!" The others nodded repeatedly, suppressing their laughter under Suika's "threatening" gaze.

"Yes, that's right. That laughter just now wasn't mine. Good children shouldn't imitate that kind of laughter..."

It's getting late, let's play in Shanghai for a while and then go to sleep!

After saying that, Suika grabbed Shanghai and shoved her into Lainie's arms.

Lainie was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Suika. Looking at the Shanghai Dolls in her arms, she immediately forgot what had just happened and happily hugged the Shanghai, humming a lullaby.

After dealing with Lainie, the others naturally stopped mentioning it.

Only Matt asked himself and his group whether to stay or leave.

"I rested here back then; otherwise, all my efforts in killing those bugs outside would have been in vain."

Don't worry, with such a huge loss, the Needle Flea colony won't be able to recover for a long time.

However, with so many engineers, there must be a large nest of Needle Flea nearby. You can report it to the officials in the city and have them send someone to deal with it.

Large nests of Needle Flea, while not Catastrophe, can be more Catastrophe in certain situations.

After all, these guys eat everything.

Matt nodded solemnly.

Needle Flea are extremely aggressive creatures with an incredibly wide hunting range and diet.

To be precise, almost any living organism is on the other's menu.

Therefore, once a large gathering place for Needle Flea is encountered, the authorities will dispatch troops to suppress and eliminate it after receiving the news.

Otherwise, if the hunting range of Needle Flea spreads into the areas where people live, it will be a terrible nightmare.

The swarm of Needle Flea that just now was far beyond the size of a normal Needle Flea and had begun hunting humans.

If left untreated, it will be much more costly to get rid of these Needle Flea later.

Although Suika ensured safety, everyone still chose to sleep in the car, except for Suika who climbed onto the roof.

Although Rim Billiton is located south of Terra, it is still quite cold in early February.

When Suika heard Lainie cough softly in the car, she gently waved her hand, and the temperature around the vehicle began to rise. Soon, everyone fell asleep peacefully in the warm and cozy feeling.

The next morning, Suika was awakened early by the sunlight.

She yawned after getting up.

At that moment, the car door opened, and Lainie, being held by her mother, was groggily preparing to wake up.

The others quickly got out of the car as well.

As the light illuminated the area, Matt and his friends looked around and gasped in shock.

Last night, due to the darkness and the combined effects of fear and exhaustion, no one noticed what was happening outside the flames.

When I woke up today, this place was nothing short of hell.

Looking around, the ground was covered with insects, but upon closer inspection, not a single one was intact.

All insects are deeply connected to the earth.

We are intertwined, each other's presence intertwined with the other's.

The scene made everyone's faces turn pale; the thought of spending the entire night there made several of them feel like vomiting.

"Let's drive a little further ahead. I saw what looked like a road over there last night."

Suika's timely words brought everyone to their senses.

Everyone quickly got into the car and left this hellish place of Needle Flea.

After driving for about half an hour, the vehicle came to a bridge. Looking at the clear water flowing under the bridge, the group decided to rest there for a while.

Looking at the clear river water calmed everyone down.

Seeing the smiles return to the faces of the group by the river, Suika took out her camera.

"Everyone look over here, and say it with me... cheese!"

"Very good!" Suika developed the photo and handed it to Lainie, Suika was staring at her with wide, curious eyes.

After receiving the photo, Lainie exclaimed "Wow!" and then screamed.

"Mom, Dad, look, we're all in the photo!"

"Suika's photography skills are really good." Matt, as the head of the family, also liked the photo very much.

Looking at the smiles on his family's faces in the photo, he no longer regretted his earlier decision to move his entire family.

"These are for you!" Suika said with a smile as she watched the group pass the photos around.

"Consider this payment for my fare on the way here!"

"No problem!" Matt, who had never intended to charge for the Suika, readily agreed.

After boiling water and cooking rice by the river, and enjoying a delicious meal of Rim Billiton's signature carrot stew with wild meat, the group got back into the vehicle and continued towards their destination.

After driving for most of the day, the group finally saw a small, Mobile City.

These mobile towns, formed by a single Mobile Block, are common in various countries.

These towns are almost all dominated by various mines or grain depots.

In Rim Billiton, it's obvious without even asking that this is a mining area.

The group arrived at the main gate and successfully passed through security to enter the town.

After finding a hotel, Su Qi, the mother, led the children and Suika into the hotel, while Matt, the parent, went to the city hall.

When he returned, the kitchen had just brought out the food.

Matt seemed very happy. He took out a bag, opened it, and found it contained a lot of money.

After the Needle Flea infestation was reported, the local municipal official gave him a substantial reward.

This money is enough for their family's expenses for six months.

However, he didn't keep the money; instead, he pushed it in front of Suika.

"If it weren't for you, Suika, we might all have died in the wilderness this time."

This money should be yours.

Matt said with a sincere expression.

Chapter 484 The Drunken Demon

Suika smiled and took half of it.

Then he pushed the pocket back in front of a somewhat surprised Matt.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share!" Suika replied with a smile.

"But you were the one who took care of all those bugs last night; we feel unworthy of that."

Matt said sincerely.

"There's nothing to feel guilty about... I believe you can see that I'm not short of money."

Besides, those bugs really scared little Lainie last night, so consider this compensation for emotional distress!

Suika glanced at the group; everyone's eyes were clear, and no one seemed dissatisfied with Matt's behavior.

Suika liked this somewhat simple family very much, and since she wasn't short of money, she pushed the money bag back at them again.

Seeing that the other person was still trying to say something, Suika pretended to be angry.

"Alright, alright, I still have several days of travel ahead of me, if you keep this up I'm leaving."

Seeing this, Matt put the money back into his pocket.

After dinner Lainie wanted to go out and play, and Matt, unable to refuse, let his three sons accompany her for a walk.

Suika was also curious about what Rim Billiton's town looked like, so she went out with them.

After leaving the house, Suika couldn't help but sigh, "Rim Billiton really is a rabbit den. Looking around, Cautus make up nearly 70% of the space."

However, most of them are mainly black, white, and gray. I've never seen another pink-haired, Suika -eared rabbit like Ansel from Rhodes Island.

The four hadn't gone far when they were suddenly stopped by a group of thugs.

"What are you doing?" Ford, the eldest Ford, shielded Lainie behind him, warily eyeing the several Perro people who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ahem, little one, don't be afraid. We're here to find the little girl behind you."

The leader of the thugs looked at the three muscular boys. Lainie's three older brothers were all between sixteen and eighteen years old, and the youngest of them had worked in the mine with their father for more than half a year, so they all looked very strong.

Especially when faced with threats, the muscles that began to bulge due to tension caused the thugs in front to abandon their targets after a brief moment of consideration and instead focus their attention on Suika, who was wearing a doll-like Suika, in the back.

In their view, this girl clearly wasn't part of the rabbit family. As long as the threat was strong enough, these rabbits didn't need to risk their lives for an outsider.

"Huh, me?" Suika, didn't expect that the melon seeds would suddenly fall on her head.

Ford and his men looked puzzled upon hearing their words; the events of last night and the scene this morning were still vivid in their minds.

If you've messed with the four of you, there might still be hope. But if you've messed with her, you've really gotten yourself into big trouble.

"Young lady, you probably don't need that much money all by yourself... How about you give us some to spend, consider it a loan?"

The thugs couldn't help but laugh as they spoke.
