Chapter 36: Parasitism

Shen Hao found that something was wrong, and when he was about to push the corpse away, he was firmly grasped by the corpse's right hand holding the knife, he frowned, and his empty left hand pinched the corpse's wrist, and twisted it.

It stands to reason that with Shen Hao's arm strength, this twist is a corpse, even a zombie in Resident Evil will be broken by twisting bones. But under this twist, Shen Hao was stunned in his heart, because there seemed to be no normal musculoskeletal at all under the wrist of the corpse he pinched, and it felt smooth and flexible.

At this time, the corpse had already raised its head, and its face, which had been human, suddenly changed, and its mouth was split into four petals at the same time towards the four corners, revealing a pink flesh membrane inside.

The flesh membranes seemed to be the mouthparts of some kind of insect, with a large mouth, not the mouth of a palatine animal that opened and closed up and down, but spread out in all directions, becoming square, and the inside was full of anti-jagged barbs. This crack, as if the corpse's entire head was divided into four pieces, swayed and wanted to bite Shen Hao's neck.

"!" Shen Hao scolded secretly, and with his left hand, he took out a long-handled anti-riot flashlight from his waist and smashed it at the head of the strange corpse, this anti-riot flashlight material is very hard, and it can be used as a baton at a critical moment.

Seeing that the flashlight was about to hit the head of the strange corpse, it suddenly turned its head, and the four-petaled strange mouth firmly bit the long handle of the flashlight. I saw that the shell of the flashlight was rattled by it, and wisps of fishy black water flowed down the corners of the mouth, which looked poisonous.

Shen Hao was a little annoyed by the difficulty of the strange corpse, and his arms twitched at the same time, pulling up the whole strange corpse that was entangled with him. Immediately, one turned sideways, holding the strange corpse and slamming it towards the ground on the side.

"Poof-" The strange corpse was slammed into the ground full of sand and gravel, making a muffled sound, and Su Yue, who was a few steps away, even felt the ground under his feet shake slightly. The strange corpse was not lightly dropped by this blow, and let out a strange "squeak" scream, shaking its head vigorously, trying to spit out the flashlight in its mouth.

"Is it that easy to eat when you want to eat and vomit when you want to vomit?" Shen Hao sneered, and pressed the flashlight down hard with his left hand, and the 60-centimeter-long flashlight was suddenly stuffed into the mouth of the strange corpse. The strange corpse was choked and screamed, and his hands had to let go of Shen Hao's wrists, trying to pull out the flashlight that almost pierced his throat

Shen Hao got out of trouble with his right hand, and took advantage of the situation to turn and pull the scimitar, cutting the strange corpse in half from head to toe. The strange corpse was cut open, and a foul smell rushed to his face, and Su Yue, who was not far away, frowned slightly, only to see that the fracture of the corpse was not red plasma, but a large amount of viscous yellow-green liquid

"Damn it...... These guys aren't people anymore! Shen Hao dragged the scimitar and retreated to Su Yue's side, at this time, he only heard a series of "squeak" screams around him, and the corpses that were lying on the ground or in the car jumped up one after another like corpses, twisting the joints of their limbs, and their bodies were lying on the ground like insects.

"Do you want to bypass them?" Seeing these human-like insects approaching quickly, Su Yue suddenly felt a numb scalp, but he didn't retreat immediately, but asked Shen Hao cautiously.

"No, these guys are fast, there should be a jungle ahead, the situation inside is unknown, if you go in with these damn tails, maybe it will be even more difficult to get out." Shen Hao held a knife in one hand, pulled out a dagger from behind his waist with the other hand, spread his legs slightly, and said in a posture of being ready for battle, "I can't hide this time, fortunately, there are not too many of them, let's work hard, let's send them on the road first......"

"Bang-"

Caskal465 erupted tongues of fire, and the heads of the two "human worms" not far away burst open at the same time, and the whole body curled up for a moment, and then fell to the ground and did not move.

I saw Su Yue standing still, just like Milla Jovovich, the heroine of the movie Resident Evil, holding her pistol with both arms and firing alternately, and all the "human insects" that came into the field of vision shot their heads and died. In less than a minute, more than a dozen "human insects" fell in the fan-shaped area centered on her.

The "human worm" was moving very fast, and it quickly approached several meters in the gap between Su Yue's change of magazine, and at this time it had already entered Shen Hao's attack range. Shen Hao pursed his lips, dragged the scimitar and crashed headlong into the swarm.

I have to say that Shen Hao's fighting style is always so uninhibited, the black scimitar flies up and down with a black trajectory, there are no obvious moves at all, and he simply relies on overwhelming strength and speed to accurately kill the enemy who dares to approach.

The scimitar is heavy, coupled with Shen Hao's unparalleled brute strength, all the "human insects" that are cut off will not only be separated from their heads, but the mutilated corpses will be thrown out a few meters away by the strength of the knife. From a distance, Shen Hao was like a rampaging spinning top, and all enemies that pounced into his attack range were bounced away from afar. Stumps and severed arms flew in all directions. A large amount of yellow-green bodily fluids splashed in the air, and even the color of the dense fog was dyed a little frightening.

The "human worm" doesn't know whether it is bloodthirsty or fearless of death. Under the crushing slaughter of Shen Hao and the others, none of them retreated or fled, and they kept rushing forward with a rather stressful momentum, and soon, the last "human worm" was also blown out in the head by Caskal465.

Standing in the middle of a large pile of "human worm" corpses that were still twitching, Shen Hao shook off the insect blood on the knife and returned the knife into the sheath, while Su Yue half-squatted down and began to refill the empty magazine with bullets, and the surroundings once again fell into a deathly silence.

"What exactly are these? Is it human? Corpse? Or bugs? Su Yue looked at the strangely shaped corpses around her, she was a little disgusted by the strange stench in the air, and after thinking about it, she ran to Shen Hao's side, found a pair of masks from his backpack and put them on, only then did she feel a little more comfortable.

Shen Hao doesn't use a mask, and in his words, sometimes the surrounding smells, sounds, and changes in light can predict danger in advance, so it's best not to use items that will interfere with your senses unless you have to.

"It should be some kind of bug...... Shen Hao squatted next to a corpse that had been cut in half, looked through it with a dagger, and replied in an unsure tone for a while, "I guess that this may be some kind of alien insect that burrowed into the human body, and then emptied the muscles, internal organs, bones, etc. under the skin from the inside, and then parasitic and grew into a humanoid and non-human monster." ”

"I remember there was a movie called 'The Shape' before, and these things might have something similar to that creature." Shen Hao pointed at the blood hole in the back of the corpse's head with a dagger, and said in a deep voice, "Look at this wound, it should be caused by the invasion of parasites, do you remember the strange snake like a strange insect we encountered when we came over?" If I'm not mistaken, they're the culprits! ”

When Su Yue heard this, she also remembered the strange insects that had no facial features and only a drill-like head, and imagined the scene where they drilled into the human brain and then ate a living person into an empty shell from the inside, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on her body. A feeling of nausea arose, and she quickly took out the kettle and poured it a few times, which forcibly suppressed the desire to vomit.

Shen Hao stepped forward to check his Humvee, and found that the body was only slightly deformed, and the internal structure was almost not affected.

Previously, the two of them were going to go straight into the jungle in front of them, but now that they have a usable vehicle, this plan needs to be slightly revised. After all, no one can be sure how many crises are hidden in the jungle ahead, it is not very convenient to fight or escape in such a complex environment, and besides, in this strange space, it doesn't matter what direction or whatever, no matter which direction you explore, it doesn't make much difference.

Pushing aside the scrapped cars blocking the road one by one, Shen Hao launched the Hummer and slowly drove out of it, at this time, Su Yue also used oil drums to collect a lot of gasoline from some nearby vehicles that were not particularly badly damaged for backup. The two got into the car and began to drive in the direction of the jungle in front of them.

After advancing for dozens of meters, they had already come to the entrance of the jungle, and under the strong light of the headlights, the two of them could roughly see the appearance of the jungle. It is a jungle of unknown plants, with a very dense canopy, thick and tall trees, and the bark and leaves of the trees are a blue-gray color, and countless crimson vines crisscross the trees, making it impossible to see the scene in the distance.

"It seems that it was the right decision for us not to go in." Shen Hao adjusted the angle of the headlights and pointed to a canopy for Su Yue to see, Su Yue's eyes were sharp, and he could see clearly at a glance, in the shade of the canopy, there was a human corpse tightly wrapped in red vines, the corpse was shriveled like a thousand-year-old mummy, but the clothes on his body were very new, obviously he had just died.

"Damn, these are bloodsucking plants......" Su Yue frowned, the plants here are dense, if you rush into it, just those countless vampire vines are enough for the two of them to drink a pot, and this is still predictable, and the depths of the dense forest that can't be illuminated by the light don't know what is hidden.

"Let's go, let's walk along the edge of this forest first, and hope to find something better." Shen Hao lit a cigarette and started the car again. The engine of the Hummer H2 let out a low roar, turned in place, and slowly drove the two into the depths of the sea of fog.
