Chapter 676: Parasitic Properties (1)
Killing the last researcher struggling on the ground, Swallow jumped from the hole in the wall and walked towards the stone table in the center of the room.
From above, he pulled out a half-meter-long wooden ruler, plus a compass.
After a slight squeeze, he looked satisfied, and then turned and walked towards the corpse on the ground.
Carefully avoiding the nematodes wriggling on the ground, he picked a suitable spot and carefully picked out a piece of minced meat the size of a fingernail with a wooden ruler.
Then, using the needle tip of the compass, he poked the minced meat and put it in front of his eyes.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no nematode parasitism in it, Swallow Fang put it under his nose and sniffed it very hard.
"Huh? Sure enough, there is no taste of psionic energy at all......"
He threw the compass and the minced meat on the ground, and used the wooden ruler in his hand to flick the wriggling nematodes.
These disgusting things also seem to lose their vitality after the death of their hosts, and some of the smaller ones have begun to stiffen, as if they are completely unable to survive on their own.
After fiddling with it for a while, the fat folds on Swallow's face squeezed out a strange expression.
"That's not right...... It's different from what you see in the surveillance video......"
In the surveillance video he viewed, Subject 4 showed no obvious parasitic properties, although it was a cluster of various nematode individuals.
Moreover, its specimens are capable of surviving independently in an oxygen environment.
Why is it that if you look at the samples on these researchers, it seems that the host will not survive at all when they leave?
"Weakened individuality? Or is there distortion? β
Shaking the fat off his face, he felt that his brain was starting to overload again.
The growing hunger pangs were like demons attached to his ears, constantly urging him to do something.
"No matter, these headaches shouldn't be considered by me, let's take a look at Xiao Honglian's situation first."
Throwing the ruler aside, he straightened up, returned to the stone table, and picked up the watch pressed against the drawing.
Fingertips connect and swallow to try to establish contact with the red lotus.
Moments later, the red lotus appeared on the watch's display.
"Lord Tun, are you looking for me?"
The woman's words were respectful, but her eyes were a little tired, and she looked as if she had just experienced a big battle.
After a moment of swallowing and groaning, he finally got straight to the point.
"Subject 4 has broken through the blockade, do you know this?"
"Clearly, that's exactly what I want to report to you......" Red Lotus on the other end of the display turned her watch and pointed the camera at the ground behind her.
The corpses of the same researcher in protective suits were piled up almost the entire communication room, and the occasional slamming of the door could be heard in the footage.
"You shouldn't be parasitized, right?" Looking at everything in the picture, he frowned.
"Probably not, if I was parasitized, the people outside wouldn't be so desperate to come in......"
After speaking, Honglian's camera turned and aimed at the door of the communication room.
The alloy door had been knocked out of shape, but it was still firmly in the way of the entrance, preventing those who tried to enter.
"Okay, you pay attention to safety, I will find a way to go down and meet you."
Tun nodded, closing the communication screen on his watch.
Seeing the figure of the red lotus disappear on the screen, Tun's face, which had just improved, instantly became gloomy again.
There are so many corpses in the communication room, how could Red Lotus not be infected!
He was almost hit by a pseudo-seventh-order high-level ability, and Red Lotus's strength was not able to escape at all.
There is only one possible outcome - Red Lotus has been controlled by Subject 4.
Sighing heavily, he put his fat ass back on the boss's chair.
After a moment's thought, he dialed a new communication ...... on his watch
β¦β¦
Five floors underground, somewhere in an elevator shaft.
The sound of ticking water woke Lu Yu from his coma, and when he opened his eyes, it was dim.
Only a faint light provides a view from inside the elevator shaft.
"Ah...... I hate that goofy orangutan......"
Laboriously pulling his arm out of the shattered top cover, Lu Yu tried to pull his body out.
But after only a slight attempt, he felt a heartache coming from his right calf, and he suddenly gasped in pain.
"Shhh...... Did you break your leg......"
Because the lower half of his body was inserted in the roof of the elevator, and because of the dim light around him, Lu Yu couldn't see the situation on his legs.
In order to prevent the blind action from further aggravating the injury, the young man decided to empty the debris around him first, and then find a way to break the roof plate.
After all, at this moment, he is like a radish half-planted in the soil, and what he can do is really limited.
However, just as Lu Yu was pushing away the surrounding clutter, a violent impact suddenly came from under his body, causing dust to scatter in the elevator shaft.
"Damn, what's going on?"
In a flash, the picture before the coma suddenly appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
When he and Honglian Qingling and others took the elevator, it seemed that the elevator was damaged by the sound of a suspected explosion, and he thought it was a sudden earthquake at that time.
Now it seems that this sound has nothing to do with the earthquake.
"It sounds like the sound of a battering ram or something hitting a wall......"
After listening for a while, Lu Yu came to a conclusion.
And judging by the sound of rubble rolling down from time to time, it seemed like the thing was about to do its job.
"If only it could help me get out, with such a lot of strength, it shouldn't be a problem to clean up the rubble or something......
Secretly complaining in his heart, Lu Yu no longer paid attention to the regular impact sound, and concentrated on cleaning up around his body.
But perhaps because his chanting worked, after four continuous impacts, the huge being located beneath the elevator shaft slope actually stopped moving.
The sudden silence made the sound of cleaning in the elevator shaft particularly obvious, so much so that Lu Yu felt a sense of weirdness.
It's like a goblin thief rummaging for gold coins under the dragon's nose.
Of course, it's the kind that was discovered by the dragon.
"I'll just say it casually, why are you so smart......"
In the next second, Lu Yu felt a violent squeeze coming from under him!
The things that had previously stuck their legs were violently emptied, replaced by a suffocating tangling.
"......"
Before the shouting and scolding came out, Lu Yu shrank into the elevator with a swish.
The process of dragging was always uncomfortable, and all kinds of sharp objects scratched by, leaving deep and shallow wounds on the young man's body.
However, this pain did not make Lu Yu unconscious.
Just as he tried to grab something to stop dragging, the friction sound under him suddenly stopped, and the restraint that wrapped around his legs gradually climbed up, quickly enveloping his weak body.
γ
It was as if there were countless slender and slimy rubber ropes, wrapped around the body, and there was a burning sensation from the place where the skin touched.
All the signs are pointing to a terrible fact, Lu Yu has been caught by the monster that hit the wall!
And judging by the stench that had penetrated into his nose, it was likely that he was being sent into his mouth little by little by the monster.
Although he couldn't see where he was sent to it, if he continued like this, the only ending waiting for him would definitely be death!
"Uncle, I'm fighting with you!"
Death threats can always stimulate a person's infinite potential, and this situation is not surprising to Lu Yu.
At this moment, the young man didn't care about the burning pain that coming into contact with the monster's flesh and skin, and his hands were clawed, and he violently tore the restraints of his lower body.
If you don't want to become a monster's ration, the first step is to regain your mobility.
A strange feeling came from the palm, and the restraint was not difficult to tear, but it felt like a red-hot soldering iron, and after a few touches, Lu Yu, who was in pain, gasped.
However, the young people did not give up because of this, but worked harder.
While tearing up, he did not forget to shout loudly, trying to reveal his position and attract potential rescuers.
"Helpβ"
The shouts rang out in the empty darkness, sounding loud and miserable.
The decibel level was high enough, but unfortunately no one jumped out to save him.
Although Lu Yu endured the pain and ripped off many 'rubber ropes', the restraints on the lower half of his body still failed to reduce the slightest bit.
The power assist function of the exoskeleton seemed to have been broken in the fall just now, which made Lu Yu's already small physical strength even more stretched.
What's even worse is that Lu Yu feels that his body has been lifted high at this moment, and he is slowly falling down in a way that his legs rush down.
"It's over, it's over, it's really going to be sent now......"
At this time, I could guess with my ass that the huge monster was sending Lu Yu into its mouth little by little!
However, to Lu Yu's surprise, the expected pain of his body being torn by fangs did not come, but was replaced by a warm feeling of wrapping.
It's as if you've been stuffed into a warm vessel.
The dense touch comes from the surface of the skin, which is indescribable and indescribable.
It is not painful, on the contrary, there is a feeling of being massaged all over the body.
However, Lu Yu will not give up struggling because of this comfortable feeling, he is now staying in the belly of a monster!
God knows if this comfortable massage sensation will turn into a burning or cone stabbing pain in the next second.
So throughout the whole process, Lu Yu had been silently reciting the mantra taught to him by the Seven Fools of Envy in his heart, desperately mobilizing the few Gang Qi in his body!
When his arms had regained some strength, the young man began to struggle desperately again.
Even if he can't survive today, he will definitely not let this monster eat happily!
Maybe it was because he felt Lu Yu's determination to break the boat, or maybe he felt that the other party was not as delicious as he imagined, the touch wrapped around the young man began to fade gradually, and finally turned into a force that spewed outward, and spit out the young man with a pop!
When his body flew through the air, Lu Yu's heart was still a little happy.
"This monster is quite interesting......
The next moment, Lu Yu's skull slammed into the cement wall......
