In a quiet room.
Because a burst of wailing broke the silence.
"Hmm..."
A man with cloth strips tied all over his body was laid on the ground. His face was sickly pale, and perhaps because of the pain, even his voice became extremely hoarse.
The infected person was not old, about twenty years old, thin, and looked energetic. But now, his eyes were red and filled with dense bloodshot.
As for the sides of his shoulders, there were two tumors, which were dark purple in color. Looking at them for a long time would make people feel uncomfortable.
"Sir, this is Zhou Xianhe. After he came back a few days ago, he first had some soybean-sized particles on his body, but now, these particles have occupied his entire back."
Wei Xun bent his waist, stood quietly in front of Chen Feng, and explained the other party's changes.
Chen Feng looked at the man's body with some suspicion, as if he was recalling something.
It's not corpse poison.
If you were infected with the zombie virus, your body would be gray in color, instead of just sickly pale like it is now.
but…
A tumor on the back is not a good sign.
"Cut his skin." Not much could be determined from the other person's appearance, so Chen Feng needed some other clues.
When Wei Xun heard this, although he felt a little confused, he still took out a dagger he carried with him and cut a bloody mark on the man's shoulder.
green!
What was unexpected was that the man's blood was not red, but light green, and there was a fishy smell in the plasma.
"This..." Wei Xun opened his eyes wide. How could human blood be green? This was completely beyond his understanding.
"Cut open the tumor on its body." Chen Feng's face was a little gloomy.
Suppressing his nausea, Wei Xun cut open the tumor with a knife. In addition to rotten blood, a group of insects rolled out.
These bugs were like a bunch of threads, tangled together, and the moment they fell to the ground, they separated and even tried to drill into the body of the infected person.
Chen Feng witnessed all this, and a fireball suddenly appeared in his palm. He flicked it and covered both the man and the insect, ending the other party's life.
He is beyond help.
Death is sometimes a relief.
"really!"
When Chen Feng saw the scene just now, his heart was shocked. Some confused memories lingered in his mind. He could finally confirm what happened to the other party.
It's not corpse poison.
It's insect poison!
The man's body was parasitized and even his blood plasma underwent mutations.
The soul nematodes began to reproduce.
This is a sign that the Zerg are coming!
The soul nematode is shaped like a thin rope and is about three centimeters long. The adult nematode lives in rivers, ponds and decaying corpses. It is a parasite that will drill into the wounds of humans or wild animals and continue to develop inside the other's body.
The soul nematode itself is not aggressive at all, but it has super strong vitality and can survive in extremely low or high temperatures.
Their slender bodies can move freely in blood vessels, starting from the wound and moving towards the brain little by little. After they occupy the host's brain, they will merge with it.
The most terrifying thing is that they control each other's lives, but the host still has its own independent consciousness.
Unlike insect demons that are completely controlled by larvae, nor like zombies that have no consciousness and are just slaves of flesh and blood, humans parasitized by soul nematodes even have the ability to think. However, their consciousness has changed from that of a human to that of a bug, and they have no emotions.
Chen Feng stood there, his eyes solemn, and murmured: "Have the soul nematodes appeared?"
"During the parasitic process, the human body will show some rejection phenomena."
"However, once the parasite is completely infected, these rejection symptoms will disappear, and from the outside, it will look like a serious illness has been cured."
"After that, they become quiet and even dull."
Chen Feng frowned and tried hard to recall, but it was all a disguise. When the Zerg attacked the city, these parasitized humans began to attack the surrounding humans like crazy.
Internal disintegration.
It was because of these sneak attacks by these insects that the human defense system was severely damaged, which accelerated the speed of the Zerg's siege. In less than three days, the main urban area was breached and tens of thousands of humans became food for the insects.
During the parasitic process, the host is severely harmed. They only have about three months left to live. Once the time is up, their flesh and blood will rot, and they will die together with the worms in their brains.
Behind this, the Insect King couldn’t help but add fuel to the fire.
This is a conspiracy against humanity.
Who could have thought that while the survivors were struggling, the bugs would actually penetrate into the interior in this way. This disaster was no less than a biological attack.
I just didn’t expect that there would be a case of soul nematode in the order.
"Check his hands and see if there are any wounds." Chen Feng's face looked a little cold.
Feeling something was wrong, Wei Xun quickly turned over the man's hands and spread them in front of Chen Feng: "Sir, look!"
There was a deep scratch on the palm of the man's right hand. He was a member of the search team before, and the wound was obviously caused during the search.
Soul nematodes live in decaying corpses.
It is unknown how many people died in the supermarket occupied by Shankui. Some body parts were even buried on the spot at the back of the supermarket, which is likely to have attracted the soul nematodes.
It happened that when he was moving supplies, the soul nematodes entered the man's body through the wound.
The mystery was solved, but Chen Feng felt extremely heavy.
"Gather all the people who participated in the supermarket operation and do blood and skin tests. If anyone is found to have anything strange or mutated blood, quarantine them all!"
"In addition to those people, their wives, children, parents, and even friends must be checked one by one. Tell Xu Zhe that he is fully responsible for this matter and must find out the results in the shortest possible time!"
After saying all this, Chen Feng reached into his arms and took out a glass bottle filled with royal honey. Compared with ordinary blood honey, the color of royal honey is purer, like colored glaze, and more dazzling than the sun.
He raised his hand and threw the royal nectar directly into Wei Xun's hand.
"Sir...you..." Wei Xun was a little surprised. He certainly knew the value of royal jelly.
"You have made a contribution this time. This is a reward for you." Chen Feng said calmly.
"Thank you, sir!" Wei Xun said loudly, not hiding the excitement in his eyes.
"The insects are ready to make a move. First it was the Insect King and now it's the Soul Nematode. The strength of the Gold Rank is indeed not to be underestimated. I just don't know if the Insect King has any other tricks up his sleeve!"
Chen Feng's eyes flickered for a moment, but were instantly replaced by determination.
"There's no need to think about these things that worry me. What I need to do now is to strengthen my strength. With strength, why would I be afraid of those conspiracies and tricks of the villains?"
"Wei Xun, are there any other large forces around?" Chen Feng suddenly said.
"It is marked in the notebook that there are four more forces with 500 people. You didn't let me act rashly before, so I haven't had any contact with these forces." Wei Xun answered truthfully.
After hearing these words, Chen Feng shouted, "You lead the team. The inferior demons and necromancers will go with you. In addition, take all the skeleton troops in the camp out and call all the leaders of those forces over. Tell them that I have something to discuss! Remember, I want everyone to come and see me!"
The Economic Development Zone must be integrated. The Insect King is plotting, and Chen Feng must also make arrangements as soon as possible!
