Xavier suddenly hugged Lin Xi and stepped on the wall extremely lightly. It looked like an ordinary human's fingertips, but like a knife piercing butter, it was easily inserted into the wall of the rest space.
Relying on the powerful abilities hidden under the human body, Xavier held Lin Xi and hung lightly on the ceiling of the lounge -
The next second, the metal door of the lounge collapsed.
Lin Xi pressed tightly against Xavier's chest, staring down at herself.
He paused for a few seconds and then said a soft "thank you."
Lin Xi's thank you was unprecedentedly sincere.
Because the moment the door fell down, the white nematodes that had gathered outside the door for such a long time poured directly into the resting space from the narrow doorway like an out-of-control flood.
Most of them still maintain the seemingly ordinary nematode body shape, but some have mimicked other species - such as those worms with human faces - in addition to worms, they are half-insect and half-machine. There are other creatures among the mechanical warriors and nematodes. Some look like a combination of a mantis and a spider, and some look more like leeches. These unlucky ones probably lived in Provi before. Some of the indigenous people inside the gaps of the Dens have now been directly devoured and transformed by these white nematodes.
Both the nematodes and the mimic creatures are still as chaotic, greedy, and fanatical as when they first met.
If Xavier hadn't brought Lin Xi up to the ceiling in such a timely manner, Lin Xi would have had to stand in the humid and sticky sea of insects.
That's a real nightmare.
But now, those "nightmares" were surging underneath Lin Xi.
Some white nematodes stretched their bodies as much as possible, like garden eels sticking their heads out of the wet and smelly mucus. They straightened their bodies and tried hard to reach Lin Xi on the ceiling.
Lin Xi subconsciously hid in Xavier's arms.
"Shall we leave here first?"
Sensing Lin Xi's disgust, Xavier immediately began to look around, planning to find a more convenient angle to escape from the rest space.
But soon it heard Lin Xi's voice of rejection.
"No... wait..."
Lin Xi looked at the nematodes with wide eyes.
"I want to take another look."
He said.
Thinking that these things were the culprits that polluted Noah, Lin Xi was more eager to understand this weird and twisted creature than before.
Even he himself didn't realize that subconsciously, he was looking for a way to save Noah.
Xavier was somewhat resistant to Lin Xi's decision, but he still obeyed Lin Xi's instructions honestly.
It hugged Lin Xi tightly and slowly crawled toward the center of the room—the resting space was spherical, and in the center of the room, the ceiling was farthest from the ground.
As if aware of Lin Xi's departure, the nematodes' bodies began to entangle with each other, and then... the entanglement formed a new collective body.
Even though Lin Xi was no longer a human being, the scene in front of him still made his hair stand on end.
In a few seconds, those white nematodes have gathered into a white spire that is as tall as a person, and this "tower" is still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"Go away—"
Xavier let out a long, sharp sound of expulsion.
But these extremely simple nematodes, so simple that they only had instincts, became more active than before after hearing Xavier's voice.
They began to straighten their bodies as much as possible, trying to get closer to Lin Xi, until a scarlet light passed by the white nematodes -
The collection of nematodes just collapsed.
That scarlet light is Noah.
What happened next made Lin Xi's eyes widen in shock.
Noah, who looked so weak, helpless, and pitiful in front of Xavier, showed a completely different look when facing the white nematode...
That is the ferocity and brutality that only an apex predator can possess.
Noah opened his slime-like body directly, and then pounced on the white nematodes. Then he would use his soft flesh to tightly wrap the squirming and entangled nematodes in his body.
Through the translucent skin, Lin Xi could even see the process of the white nematodes being dissolved by the digestive juice secreted under Noah's skin.
"Wow, that's so disgusting..."
Just when Lin Xi was stunned and at a loss when facing such a scene, he clearly heard Xavier let out a somewhat artificial exclamation in his ear.
"This guy even eats bugs."
Meeting Lin Xi's gaze, Xavier said in a very subtle tone.
“… It’s pretty good at dealing with these things.”
Lin Xi responded slowly after a while.
He observed Noah and the white nematodes entangled and devouring each other.
Noah doesn’t have to worry about the parasitism and mimicry of these white nematodes. Because it has no body that can be used for parasitism, and no normal form that can be used for mimicry.
This may be because Noah himself has the same characteristics as these nematodes.
It is a natural weapon against these nematodes.
Through constant devouring, Noah, who had become extremely weak due to Xavier's attack not long ago, quickly recovered. All the white nematodes that were swallowed and digested were used as nutrients by it...
Those white nematodes are helping Noah become another powerful and chaotic creature...
However, the more Lin Xi looked, the paler his face became.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the electronic screen in the rest space.
The bottom of the electronic screen was dirty with the mucus of white nematodes, but the synthetic woman in red on the screen still had a mechanical smile and quietly watched everything that happened in the resting space.
Lin Xi stared at the woman's face, vaguely feeling that she saw Scripps hiding in the darkness.
"Did you already know..."
Lin Xi suddenly asked.
That’s why Scripps was so anxious to urge Lin Xi to give birth to Noah.
The over-kindness shown by the former captain at that moment was so inappropriate when I think about it now.
Faced with Lin Xi's questioning, the woman did not respond at all, and the originally warm and high-end resting space remained unchanged.
Scripps ignored Lin Xi. The guy might have been offline.
But even so, Lin Xi already had a vague answer in his heart.
These white nematodes came from eggs that Scripps had never nurtured. Probably because of this, the former mother of the alien species had already predicted the characteristics of the nematodes and Noah.
However, from beginning to end, he never reminded Lin Xi.
He just urged Lin Xi to give birth to Noah, and then... turned Noah into a weapon against these nematodes.
When she thought of this, Lin Xi felt as if her blood was on fire.
He even had a tendency to go crazy due to extreme anger.
Brutal and bloodthirsty desires were rampaging in his soul like an out-of-control beast, leaving his mind blank.
Lin Xi stared at the insects below him that were devouring and transforming each other. His deep disgust and resentment eventually tore apart his only remaining sanity.
These defiled descendants.
These distorted members of the tribe.
These failures... At that moment, Lin Xi hoped that all these ghosts he saw would disappear.
"Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi's mood undoubtedly affected Xavier.
The King Insect finally took possession of a human body and transformed into a human form.
The once handsome face gradually transformed into a half-insect, half-human look.
Seeing the bland metallic chitin appearing on his bare arms, Xavier couldn't help but question.
At the same moment, from the far corner of the room, a slender, centipede-like thing was sneaking towards Lin Xi. This is also one of the nematode's trophies - a parasitized alien monster.
And what it is best at is quietly approaching its prey, just like now. Its color is pure white, which is completely consistent with the environment of the lounge.
Three meters... two meters... one...
Seeing that this monster, which was as long as an arm, was about to approach Lin Xi, it slowly opened its mouth. The tongue, which was originally used to lick small insects, was filled with a large number of curly white nematode larvae.
In the next second, these white nematode larvae will fall on Lin Xi's body through its spray.
Its actions were so covert that even Noah and Xavier were unaware of his arrival.
But at the last moment, Lin Xi suddenly turned his head, and his cold and scarlet eyes were accurately aimed at the monster...
Lin Xi's eyes turned completely red.
No sound, no movement, just gaze.
This white monster, which was quite successful in action, froze for a moment, and then silently fell from the wall and fell into the battlefield below.
The mimic's body was reduced to debris in an instant, and the larvae under its body that had not fully developed became Noah's food in a short moment. Noah has swelled many times more than before. He was very full during this battle and became very strong.
Seeing that the white nematodes in the room had been devoured until only a small part remained, Noah slowly raised his head on the ground.
The vague flesh and blood came together, barely forming a human-like image.
Then it opened its mouth to please Lin Xi. Of course, the premise is that if you really think it is the mouth...
"Hiss... Noah... hiss..."
That weird and evil cry made Lin Xi tremble.
Just like that, he woke up from his previous violent state.
But the next second he was slightly startled by the scene he saw.
Looking at Noah's current appearance, Lin Xi is really not sure whether this guy still retains his basic sanity...
That kind of overly enthusiastic attachment and admiration without any distracting thoughts is so similar to those white nematodes.
Noah's originally exceptionally clear emotions had become chaotic at this moment - obviously, while greedily devouring those white nematodes, those white nematodes were also changing Noah's body.
If we talk purely from the perspective of biological weapons, these white nematodes are probably the most powerful and troublesome biological weapons developed by humans. They are not strong, but they are indeed very troublesome.
Any creature that devours them and destroys them may eventually be transformed into nematodes themselves.
Lin Xi looked past the ugly Noah and looked outside the rest space. It was empty outside, and it seemed that all the nematodes had gathered in the lounge.
However, relying on the extraordinary perception of the mother of alien species, Lin Xi was very sure that the white nematodes that were hatching in various spaces on this level were quickly coming in this direction.
And Noah…
Lin Xi lowered his head and looked again at his child who had lost even his basic appearance.
What awaits Noah is still a tough battle.
Lin Xi knew this very well. But... what makes him unsure is, after eating more white nematodes, is Noah really still Noah
