Fort Ares Medical Center.
"Parasites No. 4, No. 9, No. 13, and No. 24 have died. Like the first parasite, they gave birth to humanoid creatures with black and blue skin from their bodies."
While listening to his assistant's report, Muchen looked at the screen in front of him. There were multiple windows listed on the screen, and the images in these windows corresponded to the rooms of the parasites.
At this moment, the parasites in rooms 4, 9, 13, and 24 have been confirmed dead, with their bodies curled up on the ground or in the corners. There is a cut on the back of each body that was torn from the inside, and something like an umbilical cord is sticking out of the cut, connecting it to a small blue man the size of a human baby.
Looking at Room 1 again, the little blue man inside saw that he couldn't leave, so he pounced on Alan's body and started to eat it. This scene made several assistants turn around and leave, and after a while, the sound of dry retching was heard.
"Parasite No. 12 is no longer viable."
At the reminder of his assistant, the Minister of Health looked towards Room 12 and saw the female parasite curled up in a ball. Her vital signs data next to the screen dropped rapidly and then cleared after a moment.
At this moment, the clothes on her back were torn open, and a small blue hand stretched out, followed by a blue little man covered in mucus crawling out from behind. It first bit off its own "umbilical cord", then pounced on the corpse and began to eat it as well.
"Destroy them."
Mu Chen said in a deep voice: "They are taking in more nutrients by eating corpses to grow. We can't let them grow. We must kill them immediately."
An assistant hesitated and asked, "Should we keep one as an observation target? This is a new species. If we can first master its genes and data..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Chen stared at him sternly and said, "This is not a naturally occurring species. God knows how harmful it is. Maybe when the first evil god was born, the researchers said the same thing as you, but look at the damage it has done to us now."
"We can't risk creating another one!"
After that, Mu Chen picked up the communicator beside him and said in a deep voice: "Start the cleaning procedure for rooms 1, 4, 9, 12, and 24."
Soon, the floors in those rooms suddenly opened up, revealing flamethrowers. The next second, raging flames burst out, turning all the rooms into a sea of fire.
In the flames, the little blue men who were gnawing on the corpse squeaked and tried to avoid the flames. They even climbed onto the ceiling, but it was all in vain.
The flames in the room continued to erupt for dozens of seconds. When the flames died down and the ventilation system sucked out the thick smoke inside, the room was left charred. The little blue men had been burned to charcoal and stuck to the floor or ceiling.
“Gather their bodies, and then let the Heart of Elements dispose of them to prevent their cells from regenerating.” After Muchen finished speaking, he walked quickly to his office to report the situation of the little blue men to Huo Hanshan.
He was very worried about whether the parasites in the city had also bred this new species. Although these little blue men did not seem to pose much of a threat, Muchen did not dare to take it lightly.
At this moment, the bacterial outbreak area of Fort Ares.
This place has been blocked by the army, which blew up many buildings and used them to block part of the streets, leaving only one exit.
They set up checkpoints at the exits, posted sentries, and used heavy firepower to stop the parasites from entering.
Those who come closer.
After personally killing two parasites, a rank 4 Ascendant Lieutenant retreated to the defense line to rest. He wiped his face and looked back. There were still a large number of residents queuing up for testing near the checkpoint. It seemed that their defense line would have to hold out for a while.
"How long will it take?" After drinking a bottle of rehydration fluid, the lieutenant exhaled and went into battle again.
There are many middle-level officers like him. They are important nodes of the defense line, supporting the entire defense line to ensure that the parasites cannot pass through.
They had to be thankful that these parasites were just humans, just ordinary people. Although after being completely parasitized by the fungus, they showed a strong desire to attack, and their strength and speed were improved.
But ordinary soldiers can easily kill parasites using star rifles, but there are too many parasites and the number of soldiers on the defense line is limited, so it is a bit difficult to fight.
Once all the uninfested residents in the block have been taken in, large-scale tactical weapons can be used to destroy the entire outbreak area, and the corpses can then be gathered and processed by the Heart of Elements to prevent resurrection.
"Just hold on for a while." The lieutenant slashed a parasite with his sword and killed it, not forgetting to encourage his team members.
Suddenly, he saw several shadows passing by, and then he felt a huge force hitting his body, and the lieutenant flew out involuntarily.
I fell to the ground and before I could get up, I suddenly felt a pain in my thigh.
The lieutenant looked quickly and saw a tentacle gradually emerging in the air. The tentacle had already pierced into his thigh, and the tentacle was covered with black and blue fungi.
The lieutenant quickly slashed the tentacle with his knife and pulled the still alive thing out of his leg. He then pressed the wound hard and controlled the contraction of the surrounding muscles to prevent heavy bleeding.
A medic ran over, opened the first aid kit, and took out tools to clean the lieutenant's wound and stop the bleeding.
After the bleeding stopped, the lieutenant used his knife to prop himself up and saw his team members flying into the air or falling far away.
At this time, a figure appeared in the air. It seemed to be a human male, but his skin was dark blue, and his chest and some parts were covered with dark blue fungi. Those things had clear outlines, like armor.
There were several tentacles flying behind the blue man, one of which was broken. It was the lieutenant's masterpiece.
"What is this?" The lieutenant frowned, and suddenly his temple felt swollen and it felt like a needle was piercing his head. The pain made him cover his head and moan.
This action made the lieutenant discover an unnatural black spot on the back of his hand, and a small particle protruded from it. The lieutenant opened his eyes wide, grasped the particle with both hands, and pulled it out from the back of his hand with force.
I saw a bunch of flying mycelium at the bottom of the thing.
Anti-world fungi!
"How is it possible? I'm parasitized?" The lieutenant exclaimed, "Didn't they say that sublimators can't be parasitized?"
He suddenly looked at the blue man in front of him, and his intuition told him that his parasitism might be related to the thing in front of him.
City Lord's Mansion.
Huo Hanshan had just listened to the report from the Minister of Health, his face solemn. At this moment, the Minister of Security rushed in: "City Lord, there is a new situation in the city."
When Huo Hanshan heard the 'new situation', he stood up and said, "Hurry up and tell me."
The security minister wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief and said in a trembling voice: "Several outbreak areas in the city have found
There are cases of sublimators being parasitized, and a type of blue-skinned humanoid creature was found among the parasites. They seem to be able to parasitize the bacteria into the bodies of sublimators. "
"We have already had several mid-level officers infected. Furthermore, once the bacteria colony is successfully infected, the transformation can be completed in three minutes at the slowest and fifteen seconds at the fastest."
"Those officers who have transformed into parasites can still use their abilities. Because of this, there are already many gaps in the defense lines."
Huo Hanshan's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his ears: "A sublimator can also be parasitized? What's going on!"
The security minister smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either."
Huo Hanshan quickly picked up the communicator and shouted, "Quick, contact Mu Lao and ask him to find out what those blue-skinned humanoid creatures are!"
After putting down the communication device, Huo Hanshan saw his fingers trembling slightly. If even the Ascendants could be parasitized, there would be no safety in the city.
He raised his head sharply and said to the security minister, "Quick, send one or two infected officers to the medical center so that Elder Mu can see what's going on."
"Also, send out a warning immediately, and let all Ascendants be careful of those blue men."
The security minister nodded and left in a hurry.
at the same time.
Military management area.
In a sentry post office, the officer in charge of the sentry post received the alarm and he gasped.
The adjutant next to him looked at him and said, "Sir, what happened?"
"I just received the latest news that a blue-skinned humanoid creature has appeared in the city. It is suspected that this creature can parasitize the sublimator with its bacterial colony and transform the sublimator into a parasite while retaining the sublimator's own abilities."
The adjutant's face changed: "Even the Ascended can be parasitized? In this case..."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly shook.
The officer noticed something was wrong and called out in a deep voice, "Are you okay?"
Then he saw blood slowly seeping out of his adjutant's clothes from his chest, and then the adjutant fell into the corner as if he was thrown away by something.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the air of the office. It was a humanoid creature with blue skin and tentacles dancing behind it.
The officer's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "These things can become invisible. Have they already invaded here?"
In one of the houses in the management area.
The sleeping Yue Guang suddenly opened her eyes, and she propped herself up on the bed, floating up and landing on the ground. She grabbed the sword "Full Moon" and it was in her hand.
Moonlight shouted softly: "Don't sleep anymore, get up quickly!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Then she picked up little Xitong next to her. The little thing was still yawning and rubbing his eyes, obviously not knowing what was going on.
Footsteps were heard, and Sun Sun and others ran over from their respective rooms, looking at the moonlight with puzzled expressions.
Moonlight said in a deep voice: "The atmosphere is a little strange. From now on, everyone must remain vigilant. Fatty, protect us."
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion outside, followed by a buzzing sound from the windows. Everyone looked out the window and saw a building not far away spewing flames and thick smoke...
