Chapter 353: Kuroshio

It was pitch black inside the water storage tank, but for Qi Lin, who had night vision, it was not much different from the outside.

The water tank is five meters wide in radius and more than three meters high, and it is very dry, with rust on the inner walls and a slope to the center, where two openings connect to the metal pipes at the bottom of the tank.

Qi Lin didn't know what kind of perception the parasites possessed, anyway, it was certain that the visual camouflage was completely useless to them.

The water storage tank is ten meters high from the bottom surface, and it is a metal structure, just these two points, if the parasite uses any one or more of the senses of hearing, smell or heat to search for prey, then Qi Lin hiding in the water storage tank is obviously safe.

However, Qi Lin had heard from some hunter players that some mutated creatures and zombies would use a biomagnetic field reaction to lock onto their prey, and the only thing Qi Lin could pray for was that parasitic worms had this ability - otherwise, he wouldn't have any way to block their perception other than to keep a long enough distance.

The ground began to shake slightly, and even the water tower began to shake with it, Qi Lin leaned his back against the inner wall of the water tower, trying to keep his breathing at an extremely low frequency.

The Kuroshio Tide slowly spilled over the wilderness, and the ruins of the waterworks in the wilderness were swallowed up by the edge of the Kuroshio.

Countless parasites walked forward with clumsy steps, and if they didn't hit the walls or pipes, they wouldn't turn at all—compared to the ones Qi Lin encountered in Warehouse Nine, these creatures that were born in a short period of time were more adaptable to the environment, but their IQs became lower.

Qi Lin could clearly feel many parasites passing under the water tower, but they didn't seem to notice Qi Lin hiding in the water storage tank at all.

"Hoo ......"

Qi Lin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but today his luck seemed to have reached what point, the stone in his heart had not yet landed, and his whole heart was hanging to his throat again.

The sound of "ding-dong-dong" came from below, and it was still approaching upwards little by little, and if he guessed correctly, it was the sound of the parasite's limbs coming into contact with the metal ladder of the water tower.

Discovered? And, what puzzled him even more...... Will parasites climb ladders?

How can a parasite with so stiff limbs that he stumbles to walk, how can he do such a thing as climbing a ladder...... Or is it an alien species?

If Qi Lin had very little information about the parasite, then his understanding of this alienated species was completely zero.

Aside from the knowledge that they are more powerful and defensive than ordinary parasites, capable of landing on all fours, and running faster than modified Humvees, this monster is almost full of mysteries.

This thing seems to be completely inexplicable by science, if the original version of the parasite is the result of the former Soviet Union's research on Nazi zombies, then how did this alienated species come about? Is it true that this kind of monster has appeared in the wasteland, or is it the result of the mastermind's own calculations?

The thing outside had climbed onto the platform outside the water storage cabinet, and Qi Lin was almost certain that it had found itself hiding in the water storage cabinet - because it had stopped less than a meter away from Qi Lin, separated from Qi Lin by a layer of metal walls a few millimeters thick.

"Boom!"

A dull sound came from outside, echoing inside the water tank, and the thing smashed its fist into the metal wall, smashing it into a huge depression.

"Grass!"

Qi Lin cursed secretly, took two steps back, and raised the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand.

If you shoot now, then it will inevitably attract the attention of a large number of ordinary parasites, but if you don't shoot, the metal wall of the water storage tank may not last much in front of the aliens.

"Boom!"

With another punch, the rust on the inner wall fell one after another, and some fine cracks had already appeared in the metal wall, and a trace of light penetrated through the outside.

The coil of the Gauss sniper rifle made a slight "sizzle" sound, the charge was complete, as long as the trigger was pulled, the electromagnetic bullet could be fired immediately, Qi Lin was now waiting for the moment when the thing outside broke the metal wall......

"Boom!"

With another punch, the crack in the metal wall had expanded to several centimeters, and a pale and puffy palm with all the nails falling off reached in, not caring about the sharp edges of the metal wall, and began to tear as soon as it grabbed the hole.

The torn metal wall made a tooth-aching sound, and soon, the metal wall was torn open with a basin-sized opening, and an extremely ugly head protruded from the outside.

The skull's face was swollen, and the two eye sockets were hollow, and the eyeballs didn't know where they went, only some yellow, fishy pus kept dripping from them. A mouth was crooked, and a whitish tongue dragged out of it, and Qi Lin could clearly see that on this tongue, there were still many parasitic worm eggs sticking to it.

"Die!"

Qi Lin resolutely pulled the trigger, and the dark blue electric light suddenly illuminated the dark space in the water storage cabinet, and penetrated through the center of the eyebrows of the head that stuck in!

The alien died instantly! But the parasitic worm eggs in its mouth hatched one after another at this time, and crawled towards Qi Lin with a wriggling crawl.

Qi Lin had already prepared for this, he directly pulled out a large bag of salt from his backpack, tore it open, and sprinkled the salt inside at the parasitic worms on the ground, and those parasitic worms came into contact with the salt spilled by Qi Lin, and immediately writhed violently, looking extremely painful.

No matter how amazing the parasitic worm is, in the final analysis, they are still a soft organism, the structure of the skin is similar to a semi-permeable membrane, and the dissolution of salt in the mucus on their body surface will instantly increase the osmotic pressure, forcing them to quickly lose water from the body to the outside of the body, so that these parasitic worms can only face the end of dehydration and death.

After solving this alien species and the insect eggs it carried in its body, Qi Lin was not happy at all, because he found that when he shot this alien species to death, the parasites under the water tower all stopped as if they sensed something.

The sound of the alien species beating the metal wall of the water storage tank was so loud before, but the parasites below didn't seem to hear it, and they acted as usual, while Qi Lin just fired a shot, but it attracted the attention of all the parasites around him - the difference in treatment is really too big, right?
