A few kilometers away on the hilltop.
The gentlemen watched the town in turmoil.
The clothes they were wearing seemed to smell the bloody smell coming from the town and became restless.
Teacher Siman's big belly almost squeezed all the facial features together.
"If this kind of large-scale forced infection breaks out tonight, it will be hard for anyone to survive until tomorrow afternoon... I suggest moving the end time of the assessment forward to dawn."
This proposal was agreed by many gentlemen.
Even the usually strict, white-haired Professor Chamberson acquiesced.
While most of the gentlemen's attention was on the area in and around the center of town where fierce fighting was taking place,
cluck~
The owl standing on Chamberson's shoulder made a cry, drawing Chamberson's attention to the Green Shade Inn on the edge of the town.
The two "patients" with independent consciousness did not participate in the riot in the town, but quietly slipped out through the back door.
One in front and one behind, pushing the wooden cart together,
There were six "corpses" piled on it, their bodies covered with a kind of "fish egg membrane" and filled with a large amount of mucus.
One of the 'corpses' at the bottom was the young man that White-haired Chamberson had been paying attention to before and who had slightly piqued his interest.
Chamberson just watched silently without making any comments.
The wooden cart was pushed to the lakeside.
Tilt the front of the car.
Wow! The water splashed and all six bodies fell into it.
The brother and sister who were in charge of transportation also jumped into the lake.
They used their bodies to stick together and carried the six corpses to the deepest part of the lake.
"This is… "
White-haired Chamberson's Tong Kong changed at this moment. This was the first time he had used his ability since he had been invigilating the exam.
The whites of the eyes were replaced by blood.
The round eyes were completely black.
His field of vision increased exponentially, and he could easily see through the green lake, focusing on Yi Chen, who was wrapped in a thin film and pretending to be unconscious.
"This guy actually did this..."
Chamberson pointed.
The owl on the shoulder immediately spread its wings and flew out. The white shadow flashed across the night sky and flew towards the Green Lake.
…
Under the Lake
What the siblings were carrying was not a corpse;
Instead, they are perfectly cultivated, infected bodies suitable for "fish transformation"... Currently, they are all used as interference items to hide Yi Chen as the "sixth person".
These fish egg membranes that wrap the body,
It can effectively isolate the impact of lake water.
It can also hold a certain amount of air, enough to support the bottom of the lake.
in addition,
Yichen also took some insurance measures.
"Mask built-in"
There is an 'inner net' made of roots in the throat, nasal cavity and ear canal... Even if exposed to lake water, it prevents the lake water from entering the body and effectively filters out pathogens.
With eyes closed,
Pretend to be unconscious,
At the back of its head, there was a mouth quietly opened with eyes inside, quietly spying on the situation underwater.
Based on observations of Green Lake.
Upper part of the lake:
Floating, crowded with large numbers of densely packed green parasite eggs and fish eggs,
Lower part of the lake
The tiny egg no longer exists, replaced by a terrifying "human egg".
Those who have successfully passed the first stage of the fish scale infection are curled up between the eggs.
A strip of flesh similar to an umbilical cord, one end connected to their belly buttons and the other end connected to the bottom of the lake.
In this way, "fishization" is achieved.
When enough scales grow on the body, the internal organs have completed their evolution, and a perfect gill structure is formed, the mermaid will break out of the egg and become a mermaid.
certainly,
Some fully formed mermen were also swimming around here, inspecting the human eggs and being wary of invaders.
Slowly,
Under the guidance of the brother and sister, they gradually approached the deepest part of the Green Lake.
The creepy feeling of being watched came over them again, and it was obvious that something was watching them from deep inside.
"That's it!"
After bypassing the human eggs and patrolling mermaids,
An unnaturally large eye was discovered, embedded deep in the lake. The oversized green eye kept moving, monitoring the lake bottom and everything in Green Lake Town.
"Super large green grapes!"
Little Grape became extremely excited at this moment.
At this moment,
Yi Chen also understood the reason why Little Grape was so active. Perhaps it had known it for a long time.
However, one thing that is puzzling is that
"Why is the source a giant eye? And not the mother body?"
In Yi Chen's expectation,
The cause of the spread of ichthyosis and the transformation of the town into mermaids should be a parasitic mother... Its image should be a huge insect-like monster that lays eggs crazily.
However, this giant eye in front of us seems to have nothing to do with "laying eggs" or "parasites".
Just when Yi Chen was confused, Little Grape's voice came:
"What is disease? Where does disease come from? These questions are basically not understood by anyone, and even less is known about the diversity and variability that exist among them.
Perhaps there has never been any parasitic matrix,
This giant eye is just a watcher.
Perhaps it was instructed to bring the "parasite swarm" to this town to monitor and witness the town's pathological transformation... and it might take away some high-quality patients later.
Its eyes can control parasites with its mind simply by staring at them.
anyway,
This super-large grape is the source... our target is it.
Later, there is only one thing you need to do, William - make physical contact with this eyeball.
As long as I touch the surface of the eyeball, I can move directly to its interior and suck the grape juice. 』
After listening to the battle plan given by Little Grape, Yi Chen replied:
"You knew from the beginning that there was this giant eye hidden at the bottom of the lake, right, Little Grape?"
"It wasn't at the beginning, but I felt it while gazing at the lake during the boat trip... We are of the same type, so naturally there will be some subtle sensations."
Yi Chen didn't say much, but focused on what was in front of him.
After the brother and sister delivered the "goods",
The innkeeper used consciousness communication to convey the information about the cargo to the giant eye at the bottom of the lake.
When the message is delivered, immediately float up.
Anything extra might arouse suspicion.
Yi Chen and other "cargo" were suspended about four meters above the giant eye.
We are currently in deep water, and it is too easy to close the distance, so we must wait for an opportunity.
Following closely,
A rather strange scene came into view.
A small circular hole actually opened up in the center of the giant eye's child's hole.
Crunch, crunch~ A meaty creature similar to an eel came out from it, which is called meat eel for short.
The mouth is round with densely packed sharp teeth, and it spits out blood-colored threads swaying in the water.
"This is... something connected to the belly button, similar to an umbilical cord!"
The next second,
The meat eel then inserted itself into a piece of "cargo" beside Yi Chen.
The mouthparts and navel are perfectly connected.
Dragging the cargo to the empty space at the bottom of the lake,
Rooted,
Nurture,
Conversion,
Well organized,
Another meat eel was born and connected to another cargo in front of Yi Chen.
Watching the 'corpses' around me being dragged away and packed one by one... This suffocating feeling of oppression is like having a hand pinching my heart, forcing my heart rate to speed up.
"Hold on!"
Yi Chen suppressed his nervousness with all his strength, waiting for the best opportunity to come.
Maybe because of good luck,
Perhaps this giant eye noticed Yi Chen's peculiarity.
Or maybe the innkeeper said something to the giant eye.
Yi Chen happened to be the last one... Deep in the lake, only he and the Giant Eye were left.
Crunch! Crunch!
The last eel, also a match for Yi Chen, emerged from the small hole in the eye.
Creep,
Floating,
Drilling film,
Huh... Yi Chen took a deep breath, still without moving, still waiting for the opportunity to come.
The meat eel sticks to the waist and abdomen, crawling towards the navel,
The oral silk threads used for nerve connection scraped on Yi Chen's body, causing extreme itching.
Go around to the front.
The meat eel's mouth opened like a petal, revealing an inner wall full of sharp teeth, and it bit towards the belly button.
Just at the moment when the mouth touches the belly button.
Yi Chen's eyes suddenly opened.
The silver axe that had been prepared long ago was drawn out from the cloakroom... Swish!
The strips of flesh of the meat eel and the white egg membrane on Yi Chen's body were cut open together.
Use the other hand to grab the upper part of the eel that remains in the abdomen, and crush it hard!
The next moment,
Yi Chen raised his free arm
Five fingers buckle the face,
Crunch! Crunch!
The young roots of plants weave quickly,
Perhaps due to the stimulation of danger, the weaving speed is faster than before, and even bark structure appears on the surface of the roots.
In the blink of an eye,
A filtering mask is worn over the face to further isolate the lake water.
The above process is completed almost instantly.
While the giant eye hasn't fully reacted,
Yi Chen swam to the deepest point at full speed...
Four meters,
Three meters,
Two meters,
When there was only a little over one meter left, something strange happened!
The giant eye at the bottom of the lake was originally a scattered hole, but it shrank and focused in an instant... turning into a dot the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Oops!"
Even if Yi Chen closed his eyes at the first moment,
but,
An invisible spiritual wave has penetrated through.
Penetrating through masks and eyelids,
Through the eyes of children,
Travels along the ophthalmic nerve directly to the brain.
Buzz!
Strong tinnitus,
It's like a naughty kid stuffed a whole box of firecrackers into his head and then slapped them all to pieces.
"William! Hold on!"
I can't be exposed before I touch the big grape! 』
At this time,
The voice of Little Grape echoed in my consciousness, giving encouragement and support to my consciousness.
Under the penetration of spiritual power,
Yi Chen felt that the surface of his brain seemed to be covered with tiny eyeballs.
As long as there is any gap in consciousness, it will be penetrated by the eyeball.
"Hold on, this is a rare opportunity to be reborn..."
Willpower
A spiritual product that is polished using "life experience" as a hammer.
Although Yi Chen is only in his twenties, his "life experience" in the first half of his life is like a huge hammer with spikes, hammering him all the time.
I finally escaped.
I finally got the chance to travel through time and came to such an interesting world.
He wanted to survive... to live seriously for once.
This moment!
Blood oozed from the eye sockets, staining the plant mask red.
The screams turned into a large number of bubbles rising in the lake.
Break through the last meter of distance.
sideways,
Spread your arms,
Touch,
The palm of his hand was firmly placed on the moist and smooth surface of the eyeball... and it was right in the center, where the fleshy eel emerged.
Touch the moment,
The black flesh ball instantly separated from the palm,
Along the pores,
Into the giant eye.
This moment of success,
Yi Chen could no longer hold on, his relaxed consciousness was broken in an instant!
only,
The mental erosion from the giant eye did not damage the brain.
Instead, Yi Chen's consciousness was packaged and sent to a completely unknown area.
Buzz!
Tremor of consciousness,
Yi Chen's consciousness seemed to be sent to a deep and mysterious cave, as if it was at the bottom of the abyss.
Hexagonal black fish scales covered the cave walls like bricks.
The ground was covered with a layer of clear water that was deep enough to cover an average person's knees.
Flesh-colored pipes connect various experimental tanks.
Suspended and inlaid on the walls are chambers of varying sizes, used to cultivate life.
This place is like an abyss laboratory.
The center of the laboratory,
An individual whose form transcends concepts is recording data.
Just facing away from Yi Chen's consciousness,
She was wearing a nearly perfect dark gold tube-shaped robe with its own force field, revealing a tail covered with black scales.
Compared to a fish tail, it is more like a dragon tail.
I don't know why,
When Yi Chen looked at the back of this being,
Winter? Winter? Winter
Suddenly, an epic music full of layers sounded in my consciousness.
The sound of the cello fades away, accompanied by the beating of the tide.
It seems to be telling the audience that such music comes from the depths of the sea, foreshadowing the imminent arrival of a terrifying being.
As the music started,
A blood bar frame made of gold with a fish head embossed on the beginning appeared out of thin air above the opponent's head.
There are also titles and names attached to the health bar.
