More than 20 days ago, Yan Junyu was ordered to escort a batch of military supplies to the Yan family's secret base, but he was ambushed by a group of star thieves halfway, and had to make a forced landing on planet ME219. This is an undeveloped primitive planet. The environment seems to be affected by some factors and is gradually deteriorating. So far, no intelligent creatures have been found.
Yan Junyu originally thought that he would be able to leave here soon, but found that the planet emitted a strange electromagnetic wave, which interfered with the electronic equipment of the battleship. No matter how they debugged, the battleship was like a headless fly, spinning upside down in the air. After several repeated test flights, the instrument panel and control system were overwhelmed and completely scrapped. Electronic devices such as communicators, intellectual brains, and locators have not escaped the same fate.
Unthinkable, Yan Junyu had to temporarily stay on planet ME219. But the tragedy is far from over. After a few days of stationing, they discovered that the planet's vegetation and animals were dying.
It all stems from something that is both plant-like and zerg-like. They have thick carapaces, and if they curl up on the ground, they look like a rock, but once they smell blood, they will immediately wake up from dormancy, stretching slender tentacles like vines, Violently entangles living creatures, forcibly drills into their bodies from their mouths, slowly grows and reproduces with flesh and blood, and finally breaks out of their bodies.
The star thief group chasing Yan Junyu was also forced to land on this strange planet by the interference of electromagnetic waves. It was one of their team members who suffered first. The gray-brown, rock-like and unbelievably soft monster burrowed into the man's mouth quickly, and the scene was terrifying.
The pain of being gnawed on his internal organs drove the man crazy, and that night he swallowed a gun and killed himself. However, this was not over yet. As soon as his corpse fell, the insects that got into his stomach broke out, and the number changed from one to a dense group, and immediately burrowed into his companion's body.
Most of the star thieves are a group of vicious thugs. They have never cared about human life. They immediately picked up their guns to shoot the insects, and killed their parasitic companions one by one. But they soon discovered that this approach was simply stupid. The bugs that burrowed into the human body would rapidly divide and reproduce, and the more people they killed, the more they would become. And because they are agile, they are not afraid of water, fire, lightning, wind blade, freezing and other supernatural attacks, except for particle bombs, there is no effective means to completely kill them.
As long as they touch the ground, they will burrow into the soil layer, and when the timing is right, they will suddenly burrow out, piercing the human skin and digging into the flesh. They vary in size, some as big as an adult fist, some as small as a soybean grain, and lurking in the surrounding environment, it is almost impossible to prevent.
In just one night, there were only twenty survivors left in the star thief group of several hundred people, and the rest became breeding grounds for these monsters. Yan Junyu's team also suffered heavy losses. In order to survive, the two sides had to temporarily join forces. After groping for a few days, they finally figured out the law: once parasitized by this monster, the best solution is not to kill the host immediately, but to persist in living. Surviving for a long time, the monsters densely distributed in the body will devour each other, the number will decrease, and they will become larger adults.
When they break out, they will change from hundreds of thousands to three or four, and their movements will also become slow, which makes it easier to aim and kill. The feeling of being parasitized is very tolerable. Pain, fear, and despair are torturing people's nerves all the time. There are many people who commit suicide by swallowing a gun in less than a day. Those who persist for three days, or even seven or eight days, are all strong people with extraordinary willpower.
Unfortunately, Yan Junyu, who lost his ability, also became one of the people waiting to die. He persisted for a day, two days, three days... Now it is the ninth day, the monsters all over the body devoured each other, and finally only one remained, curling up in his abdomen, maybe the next second, maybe tomorrow, It will tear his body with tentacles and slowly climb out.
He was sitting by the fire, reading through the brain with all his attention. Several subordinates were holding particle guns, watching him both defensively and sadly.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Wolf Fang, the leader of the Red Ghost Star Thief Group, asked curiously.
Yan Junyu didn't answer, he turned off his mind and leaned on the tree trunk to doze off. In just over 20 days, he had lost weight beyond recognition, with a layer of black and purple veins appearing on his body, looking like a patient with genetic breakdown. But only those present knew that these blue veins were not part of his body, but the tentacles stretched by the parasitic worm inside his body. It relies on these tentacles to capture, devour its own kind, and absorb the flesh of its host.
The whole body was penetrated by this kind of tentacles, and the internal organs were even devoured and riddled with holes. The pain can be imagined. Langya stared at Yan Junyu's increasingly pale face and increasingly thick "blue veins", not only feeling his scalp numb, but also admiring his incomparable willpower.
So far, he is the longest-standing host, and he has never shown an expression of fear, despair, or pain. What should he do, patrol, hunt, find a way out, except for the change in appearance, he lives like a normal person.
"Can't you feel the pain?" Lang Ya was speechless.
Yan Junyu still ignored him, but his heart was full of helplessness. I can't feel the pain, how is that possible? Every minute, every second, he was struggling in an unimaginable pain. If it wasn't for the memory that he had lost and finally recovered to support him, he might have fallen long ago. After being attacked by Mu Ran's consciousness and plundering his abilities, the seal engraved in his mind by Qi Zeyin also loosened. He finally understood that he was a person who should have died a long time ago, and the reason why he was sitting here safely was because Qi Ze was desperate to continue his life.
No wonder he was so familiar with Qi Ze, so intimate, so yearning, so they lived inseparably for two months. Every muscle, every meridian, every drop of blood was exchanged for him by Qi Ze himself. When he was immersed in the energy liquid and was struck by thunder, he remembered very clearly that Qi Ze jumped down desperately and suffered most of the pain for himself.
He groaned in his own ear; he stared at himself with eager anticipation in his eyes. He hoped that he would survive, even if he changed his life against the sky. So Yan Junyu survived. He felt that he was no different from this kind of monster. One relied on the flesh and blood of the host as the nutrient for survival, and the other relied on the memory of the past as support.
Why make me forget? Do you know how precious this memory is to me? Occasionally, Yan Junyu would also have such resentment, but soon, the gratitude and longing for the young man overwhelmed everything. In the severe pain, he could hardly sleep, but when he dreamed of being a teenager, he would sleep very peacefully.
Jingle, Jingle, the boy kept beating the mold, his back changed from thin and thin to slender and flexible, and the transparent beads of sweat slipped down his waist along the graceful butterfly bones, and disappeared into the trousers. Such a scene has become Yan Junyu's lingering dream, even when he is awake, he can't help but think of it. With this memory, he supported it day by day, just because this life was given by Qi Ze, he would never give up unless Qi Ze took it back with his own hands.
Several of his comrades were counting the supplies. At the end, they quietly walked over and said, "Captain, we are running out of food and drinking water. What do you think?"
"Go to find water tomorrow, I can't stay here any longer." He opened his eyes and ordered decisively.
When I first came, this area was still dense forest, with clean water and fresh air, making it very suitable for human habitation. But after just three or four days, large areas of the forest withered, and the water source was polluted for unknown reasons, becoming turbid and highly acidic.
If this continues, Yan Junyu has no doubt that this area will become a dead zone.
"Pack up all the supplies, and we will move eastward tomorrow. Ask Langya in the past and see if they will leave. If they don't leave, we will part ways." Only alive can we meet Qi Ze again, so Yan Junyu will never sit still.
"Let's go with you." Lang Ya glanced at him and suggested, "This is the ninth day. I thought you would let the team members leave and leave alone to die. If you don't mind, I can actually send it to you. You have a ride. In the last few days, I also discovered that there is only one worm left in your body, as long as you shoot here, not only will you be relieved, but we are all safe. "
He raised the particle gun and aimed at Yan Junyu's abdomen. Yan Junyu's subordinates quickly raised their guns on guard, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
At this moment, a bright red flashed across the sky, like a falling meteor, or a spaceship crash, and then a cloud of fire rushed into the sky, setting off a strong air wave. The roar of the explosion rolled over from thousands of miles away, making the birds scattered in shock, and also enlivened the stalemate atmosphere. Wolf Fang put away the particle gun and ordered, "Send two people over to take a look."
"You guys also have a look." Yan Junyu said lightly.
The two parties each sent two wind-type abilities to check the situation, and then continued to stare at each other. The members of the Red Ghost Star Thief Group are used to the business of killing people and stealing goods. Even if they have temporarily reached a cooperative relationship with Yan Junyu's team, they have never given up the idea of killing. You know, Yan Junyu's spaceship is full of supplies, enough for them to live for several months. With the buffer of these months, their fleet will be able to find the ME219 planet sooner or later.
It is a matter of life and death, the Red Ghost Star Pirates will not be soft-hearted, and Yan Junyu will naturally not wait to die. Both sides understand that sooner or later they will meet.
In the silent silence, several wind-type abilities hurried back, followed by two strangers. As they got closer, Yan Junyu realized that they were Li Ziqian and Ouyang Ye, and they were both Li Ziqian and Ouyang Ye. There were two people on their backs, but they kept their heads down, unable to see their faces.
Yan Junyu stood up suddenly, pressing his abdomen with one hand and clenching the other into a fist, and asked, "The spaceship just now belonged to you? Who else survived except you?" He stared at Li Ziqian's back. A figure with red eyes and shortness of breath.
"Long time no see." Li Ziqian greeted with ease, put the person on his back down, and smoothed the other's messy forehead. The man raised his head, revealing a small flowery face, the tip of his nose and cheeks were full of black marks, and only one pair of eyes was brighter than the stars in the sky.
"I knew you weren't dead!" he said.
"Why are you here?" Yan Junyu was half ecstatic and half anxious. The joy is that he can see the young man again before he dies, but the worry is that he has lost the ability to protect the other party. The planet was full of unpredictable dangers, and he was completely unsure of sending the boy away.
"How can you come here!" The corners of the raised mouth drooped down quickly, his expression was extremely ugly.
"I'm here to save you." Qi Ze stepped forward, opened his spiritual eyes to look at him carefully, and asked in a deep voice, "What's in your stomach?" Yan Junyu's abdomen was full of demonic energy stronger than Li Ziqian's. Which demon is possessed
"Are you injured?" Yan Junyu avoided answering, wanting to pull the person to his side to take a good look, but worried that the monster would break out and accidentally injure the boy. He hesitated and stood on the spot, with joy and anxiety in his heart, and an urgent desire to survive. The person who desires the most is far away and comes to rescue at the risk of death, how could he be willing to die
"It was smoked, nothing." Qi Ze said while wiping his face. Originally, it was just one or two black marks that he evenly wiped away and turned into small briquettes.
Yan Junyu suddenly laughed, his heart was very moved, and he was very peaceful. He took out a clean handkerchief from the space button and carefully wiped the boy's face. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of the little girl on Ouyang Ye's back, and couldn't help asking, "Whose child is this?"
"This is Mingrui, my friend." Qi Ze was a little angry when he said this, "I originally brought only Ouyang Ye and Li Ziqian to rescue you, but this little guy secretly hid in the rescue capsule, if it wasn't for the crash When Xiao Hei crawled out from the crack of the door to ask for help, we almost left her at the explosion site."
"Brother Qi Ze, I'm sorry!" Mingrui quickly apologized and gave Yan Junyu a timid look.
"It's the little girl we met in the hospital." Yan Junyu couldn't forget it, and he quickly remembered who the other party was. He glanced at the rag doll tightly held in his arms by the little girl, and immediately realized that it was Qi Ze's work. Those eyes were so agile, like living things.
"This planet is weird. Our spacecraft broke down as soon as it approached, and all the electronic equipment failed." Li Ziqian calmly analyzed, "If we don't understand the reason for the formation of the magnetic field and overcome it, we may not be able to go. "
"You shouldn't come to me, it's too risky." Yan Junyu sighed.
"It's all here, what's the use of talking about it?" Ouyang Ye rolled his eyes, "Don't say these words that are dead or alive, and quickly find a way to get out of here."
"Well, let's figure out a solution together." Yan Junyu nodded and smiled, and then served the cooked noodles to Qi Ze and Mingrui respectively, leaving only half a cup of noodle soup for himself. A strong man in a camouflage uniform ran over, handed Li Ziqian and Ouyang Ye two packets of biscuits, and asked hopefully, "Are you the rescue team sent by the marshal?"
"Well, I still have some supplies here, you can take them." Li Ziqian handed a space button to the strong man. The man seemed very happy, he immediately picked it up, and ran to explain the situation to his comrades.
Langya had guessed that these four people had supplies on them, and could not help but sneered, "Yo, isn't this Li Shaozhu? You don't need a wheelchair? The quality of the prosthetic limbs this time is good?"
"Boss, are they here to save people or send them to death? They are both disabled and children. Whether they can live for 24 hours is a question." A star thief derogated, and the rest of the team members laughed.
To be honest, this rescue team is indeed a bit sloppy. Although Li Shaozhu is a special person, he can't stand his disability; the young man sitting next to Yan Junyu is very thin, and except for a pleasing face, there is almost nothing to show; A little girl was holding a doll, and those who didn't know it thought she was out to pretend to be a family. Only the tall and strong guy with a long sword in his hand was a little interesting, but he was not very powerful.
"I said Yan Junyu, did your grandfather think you were dead, so he sent some rabble to find you?" Langya took a sip of strong wine and laughed, "Just tell them the truth, you are destined to die, no Today is tomorrow."
"What do you mean by that?" Qi Ze looked straight at him.
"Ask him yourself!" Langya pointed to Yan Junyu's stomach, "Didn't his team members tell you on the way here? There's something in his stomach."
"Boss, they didn't tell him." The wind power user who was previously sent to check the situation reminded in a low voice. The boy saw it himself, and he couldn't be wrong.
Langya didn't take it seriously, threw the empty wine bottle into the fire, and narrowed his eyes fiercely. He wished that Yan Junyu would die sooner, so that he could annex his supplies. As for those players, those who were sensible would stay, and those who were ignorant would be killed.
"What's going on? Why do you have demonic energy in your stomach?" Qi Zeling's eyes widened, and he suddenly said, "The seal is gone, have you recovered your memory?"
"Well, I won't tell anyone about you. You didn't have to do that at all." Yan Junyu touched his abdomen and explained, "This planet is probably occupied by the Zerg, and we have never discovered it before. The Zerg…”
Li Ziqian and Ouyang Ye couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. The Zerg that reproduce with the human body as the ovary are more harmful than any Zerg. This is like an incurable plague. Once someone gets sick, it will infect a large area. They multiply at a frightening speed. It may only take two or three months to infect the population of an entire planet.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Li Ziqian asked calmly. Ouyang Ye took the shivering Mingrui into his arms and patted it, and he also quietly wiped the goose bumps on his arm.
"Hold on first, when I can't hold it, I will kill it myself." Yan Junyu glanced at Qi Ze quickly, then lowered his head.
"Young Master Qi is here, he should have a solution." Li Ziqian said firmly.
Qi Ze didn't speak, just stared at the fire without blinking, with various solutions in his head. It's easy to force the monster out, but then what? How should Yan Junyu survive? He was originally the favored son of heaven, but now his upper dantian is cracked, his lower dantian is destroyed, his limbs are soaked with demonic energy, and he will have to lie on a hospital bed for the rest of his life. Is this kind of life really what he wants
He wanted to save him, and he wanted to protect his dignity and pride.
There is only one White Bone Raw Flesh Pill, which has been used on Yan Junyu before, and it is absolutely necessary to change his life against the sky, otherwise the Heavenly Dao will definitely be aware of it, and it will drop 9981 tribulation thunders, completely obliterating the existence of Yan Junyu. All kinds of extraordinary means, either unable to use, or unconditional to use, Qi Ze was suddenly stumped.
Yan Junyu rubbed his head and comforted, "Don't think about it, just let it take its course." As soon as he finished speaking, a small bag bulged up in the soil not far away, with a hole at the top, and a dense group of insects twisted and wet, The greasy tentacles crawled over here. They were extremely fast, and they were in front of them in the blink of an eye. Rao was Yan Junyu who was already on guard and took a step slower, only in time to carry Qi Ze on his shoulders.
Ouyang Ye picked up Mingrui and jumped to the big tree opposite. The rest hurriedly fled.
Strange things happened, the worm tide bypassed Yan Junyu and scrambled to crawl towards Li Ziqian. They lifted up like a carpet, covering Li Ziqian tightly, and the tiny tentacles pierced into his skin, piercing the blood holes and quickly digging in.
Li Ziqian finally understood what an ant duo killed an elephant. He was already moving very fast, but he couldn't stand the huge number of bugs. After a while, he was wrapped in a circle and used as a breeding ground. A lot of bugs got into his body, and the remaining ones that failed to grab a suitable position crawled towards Mingrui on the canopy. As for the others, they are completely ignored.
Lang Ya and a group of subordinates stood on a tree not far away, their faces twitched as they watched this terrifying scene. Even though they were not parasitized, they felt itchy all over their body, and a sense of despair surged. With such a fast speed, such a mysterious way, and such a huge number, who can avoid it? Fortunately, there were a few people who stopped the disaster for the dead ghosts today, otherwise it would be their turn to be unlucky.
"Boss, these bugs didn't pick people before, why are they attacking Li Ziqian and that little girl today?" a star thief asked in a low voice.
"How do I know, let's take a look first." Langya scratched his numb scalp, and said sternly, "That little girl seems to be a master who can't bear hardships, and once she is parasitized, she will die of pain immediately. The number of those bugs is already amazing. Once they enter her body, they will multiply immediately, which will cause an even bigger worm tide. No, we have to kill her first."
Wolf Fang has long discovered a pattern: those bugs never attack dead things, only parasites.
"Then kill her first." A star thief immediately took out a particle gun and aimed at Mingrui. At this moment, the rag doll in Mingrui's arms jumped out of her arms, and the long hair on her head suddenly rose, like black water drowning the insect tide, and then rolled up a lot and sent it to her mouth, Chew into crumbs.
It stretched its neck and made a swallowing motion, its dark eyes squinted into crescent-shaped, seemingly satisfied. The place that was swept by its hair was already clean, and there was not a single bug left.
