CHAPTER XVIII

No one could have imagined that in just such a short period of time, the worm that burrowed into the patient's body could multiply so quickly.

The patient on the ground was completely lifeless.

He lay on his back, his mouth wide open, and he still had an expression of disbelief and horror before he died, his black eyes, which had no eyeballs, were wide and round, and his body was like a deflated ball, leaving only a layer of skin that quickly dried up.

There was not a trace of blood on the ground.

Everyone hurriedly sprinkled medical disinfectant into the pile of insects on the ground, and the patients who had just shouted that there were insects that had also entered their bodies, and they didn't know whose bad idea it was, and when they saw that the disinfectant had an effect on the insects, they began to pour medical disinfectant into their mouths, and then knelt on the ground and vomited desperately.

"Don't drink, don't drink."

Mo Ran pulled her throat to stop the few people who were drinking disinfectant in the distance, she tried to step on the insects and rush over, but was pulled back by Liao Fanqing.

"Xiao Ran, are you crazy, look at your feet."

As soon as Mo Ran lowered his head, he happened to see a wave of insects moving quickly towards them.

She dragged Zhang Ting behind her, and then quickly sprinkled the disinfectant in her hand in a circle around several people.

Most of the bugs stopped the moment they were about to come into contact with the disinfectant, and they stopped in place, testing the scent ahead with the sharp tentacles above their heads.

One of them had already rushed near several people before Mo Ran splashed the disinfectant.

But no one dared to step on it with their feet, because judging from the situation just now, this unknown insect can easily burrow into people's bodies and even eat hard bones.

The black bug scurried around everyone's feet, looking for an attack, because it was moving too fast, and the running route was drawn in circles with no regularity, and Mo Ran splashed it with disinfectant several times, but it couldn't hurt it for half a point.

In the end, it finally found that Lian Yue, who had been sitting in the corner of the wall, did not get up at all.

Mo Ran immediately noticed that it had changed direction and was crawling towards Lian Yue, and she rushed to Lian Yue's side in two steps, trying to pull him up from the ground.

"Hurry up, are you sick?"

She tugged Lian Yue's arm, but Lian Yue not only did not stand up, but restrained her slender wrist.

Liao Fanqing, who was still splashing disinfectant on insects in the distance, saw this scene and shouted angrily at Lian Yue.

"Let her go, you monster."

But although he scolded hard, his feet did not move half an inch to that side.

Mo Ran was suddenly stunned, and she seemed to hear Lian Yue's unique deep voice in her mind again.

"Don't move."

But this time she felt that the voice was not coming from Lian Yue's mouth, but directly in her head.

I don't know if it was out of shock or for some other reason, she was really grabbed by Lian Yue like that, and she didn't move again.

Lian Yue raised his dark blue eyes and looked straight at the insect.

He wanted to take the opportunity to confirm a certain guess in his mind.

Sure enough, the insect suddenly stopped when it was less than half a meter away from Lian Yue's feet. What's even more strange is that it turned around and began to climb desperately in the opposite direction, even ignoring the disinfectant spilled on the ground in the distance, and rushed out with all its might.

When he ran to the middle of the patches of disinfectant, he gradually slowed down, and finally weakly turned up his fluffy belly.

Lian Yue let go of the force in his hand and withdrew his arm.

Because several people around were standing diagonally behind Lian Yue's back, except for Mo Ran, who was dragged by Lian Yue, and Zheng Shi'an, who was curled up beside Lian Yue, no one else saw the scene just now.

They only thought that the bugs were scurrying around on their own and lost their way, so they ran into the disinfectant and left to fend for themselves.

After a long while, it was getting dark.

Everyone finally got rid of all the bugs that came out of the patient's body.

But the patients who drank the disinfectant by themselves did not wait for the insects to multiply and spread in their bodies, and the intestines that had been corroded by the medical disinfectant were rotten and had no vital signs.

In order to prevent the insects from multiplying in the bodies of the dead patients, Mo Ran asked Liao Fanqing to take a few people to seal the bodies with body bags for virus isolation, and carry them out of the warehouse with many cleaned up insect corpses.

The twenty-seven people who had just been counted had become twenty-two in a short period of time.

Everyone is wilting, how can they survive in such a terrifying world where even a small insect can easily kill people in seconds.

While everyone was cleaning the warehouse, Mo Ran squatted beside Lian Yue with questions in his head.

"How did you do that?"

Lian Yue raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"How do you know what's going on in my mind?"

After asking, both of them were stunned, and there was a vague answer looming in their minds, but they couldn't say it clearly.

Mo Ran moved directly opposite Lian Yue, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lian Yue's wrist. She just half-knelt on the ground, plucking up the courage to look directly into Lian Yue's eyes.

Suddenly, Lian Yue's deep voice flashed clearly in her mind.

"Loosen."

Mo Ran's eyes widened and he took two steps back in horror.

She was sure that Lian Yue had never opened her mouth at all.

Now the distance between the two was about a meter, and Mo Ran was still staring at those eyes, trying to concentrate again.

But this time she didn't hear anything.

"Did you speak?"

"Got it."

"What did you say?"

"The shirt button is open."

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, looked down at her chest, and was instantly embarrassed, she hurriedly buttoned the collar that she didn't know when to take off in a panic.

Mo Ran settled down and sat back opposite Lian Yue.

She is a scientist, and she really has no way to explain what the reason for this mysterious "strange ability" that appears now on her own.

"Within a meter, I'll have to try again."

After speaking, she looked at Lian Yue again.

"You haven't explained yet, how did you just do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand suddenly lifted up uncontrollably, grabbed a strand of hair from her sideburns and tugged hard.

Mo Ran frowned in pain, but she didn't care about blaming Lian Yue, she was shocked by her strange behavior just now.

"Is that you?"

Lian Yue stopped talking, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, just now this moment made him feel extremely tired, as if the strength of his body was instantly withdrawn.

Mo Ran sat down on the ground completely, I don't know if the amount of information received at one time was too huge, and she felt a terrible headache.

Liao Fanqing, who was not far away, watched Mo Ran and Lian Yue sit face to face together, gritting his back molars and frowning.
