Chapter 31 Mental Attack, Parasitic Worms
Chapter 31 Mental Attack, Parasitic Worms
I saw the display for the sonic oscillator gun.
Su Jinjin frowned, feeling that something was not right.
"Are we just going to sit here in this supply depot and wait?" she asked in a low voice, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
Lin Tian, however, was quite nonchalant. He had already opened a pack of compressed biscuits and started eating, mumbling, "It's... pretty safe here..."
But Lin Xia's expression grew increasingly grim.
She gripped the water bottle tightly, her knuckles turning white: "No, even if the supply depot is safe for now, once the chaos outside subsides, the people from those bases will definitely come to inspect this place."
She stood up, her voice trembling slightly, "Brother, replenish your strength and use your ability to soften the wall. We need to grab our things and prepare to leave."
Su Jinjin looked down at the detection screen on the sonic vibration gun, and the fluctuations on it suddenly became abnormally chaotic.
The red dots in the base were rapidly gathering, as if they had been summoned.
Seeing this scene.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside her, before she could even utter a warning—
"hiss------!"
A piercing shriek suddenly pierced through the entire base, as if countless steel needles were stabbing directly into the brains of the three people.
Su Jinjin felt dizzy instantly, her nasal cavity felt hot, and warm blood flowed out.
She staggered and grabbed the shelf for support, her ears ringing.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Lin Tian screamed, the biscuit in his hand fell to the ground, he covered his head and knelt down, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Lin Xia's condition was even worse. She spat out a mouthful of blood and swayed precariously. If she hadn't grabbed the wall in time, she probably would have fainted.
Although Su Jinjin also had a splitting headache, she was still able to stay awake, probably because the Body Modification Pill had enhanced her physical condition.
She wiped the blood from her nose, her voice hoarse: "What...what the hell is this?"
Their current experiences
They were clearly attacked, and the attack ignored their defenses, directly injuring all three of them.
Lin Xia shook her head weakly, her face ashen white: "I...I don't know...but I think it must be some kind of...special parasite being cultivated in this base..."
"We created chaos in the base, which led to the release of this monster."
The hissing outside grew closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps and the grating sound of metal being torn apart.
The canned goods on the shelf began to tremble slightly, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Despite her headache, Su Jinjin pointed the sonic vibration wall outwards.
A huge red dot appeared on the screen, with an energy reading several times higher than that of a normal parasite.
"Oh no..." her voice was hoarse, "Something big is coming..."
Su Jinjin instantly realized the urgency of the situation. She had obtained the supplies she wanted and now she had to evacuate immediately!
Lin Xia and her brother also realized what was happening, and the three of them exchanged a glance.
"Quick! I'll soften the wall, we need to leave right away!" Lin Tian shouted, pressing his hands against the concrete wall on the side of the warehouse.
The wall immediately began to soften, gradually thinning like melted butter.
Lin Xia hoisted her backpack full of supplies and urged anxiously, "Hurry up!"
Su Jinjin quickly followed, but when they passed the last shelf, she took advantage of their inattention and directly put the entire shelf full of canned goods and compressed biscuits into her space.
The metal shelf made a slight "hum" as it disappeared, but it was completely drowned out by the roars of the monsters outside.
"Go!" Lin Tian shouted in a low voice, and took the lead in crawling through the wall that had softened like mud.
Lin Xia followed closely behind, with Su Jinjin bringing up the rear.
Having prior experience, Lin Tian quickly found the best route to escape.
Just as they were about to escape the base's perimeter, that terrifying screech struck again!
"Ah—!" All three of them clutched their heads in pain at the same time, and Lin Xia fell to her knees, blood dripping from her nose onto the dirt.
Su Jinjin bit her tongue to force herself to stay awake, and grabbed her two children, one in each arm: "Don't fall! The car is just ahead!"
Lin Xia wiped the blood from her face and staggered after him.
Lin Tian's face was pale, but he continued to run.
Finally, they escaped the base and spotted the off-road vehicle parked in a hidden spot.
The three of them practically fell into the car.
Lin Tian started the engine with trembling hands, while Lin Xia slumped in the back seat, panting heavily.
Su Jinjin sat in the passenger seat, enduring her headache as she looked back—
The sight before her made her blood freeze.
Inside the base, countless parasitic monsters were frantically rushing towards a giant, fleshy-white worm, their bodies merging with the worm like melted wax.
The worm's body swelled at a visible rate, and countless pained human faces writhed on its surface.
They are clearly people from the base.
Su Jinjin immediately activated [Eye on Resume]:
[Name: Parasitic Worm]
Gender: Unknown
[Specialized Skills: Mental Attack, Mind Control, Devouring and Fusion]
[Weakness: Due to experimental modifications, its fear of water and sunlight has been overcome, but it is extremely afraid of fire due to the modifications itself!]
"Drive!" Su Jinjin shouted sharply, "That thing is absorbing other monsters to increase its own strength."
Lin Tian slammed on the gas pedal, and the SUV shot off like an arrow.
In the rearview mirror, the worm that had completed its fusion had turned in the direction they had left, letting out a deafening roar.
Lin Xia leaned weakly out of the back seat: "Where...where are we going now?"
It's nighttime now, and it's not safe to be outside.
The three of them did not immediately drive into the city. Su Jinjin knew that there were many parasitic monsters in the city at night, and it was dangerous.
"Find a safe place to hide."
The three drove recklessly all the way, eventually stopping at an abandoned auto repair shop on the outskirts of the city. None of them dared to get out of the car, and they spent a terrifying night inside it.
Su Jinjin remained highly vigilant throughout, her eyes fixed on the rearview mirror, fearing that the terrifying parasitic worm would come after her.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur; otherwise, in their current state, they would have been completely powerless to fight against monsters of that level.
The right thing to do is to avoid these monsters.
"Mental attack...mind control…" Su Jinjin recalled the parasitic worm's abilities and secretly rejoiced, "It seems it was busy fusing with other parasites and didn't notice us little shrimps."
If Su Jinjin wanted to deal with the three of them, she felt there was no way to escape.
As the first rays of dawn pierced through the car window, Su Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief.
The fifth day of Parasitic Apocalypse has begun, and the dungeon time is already halfway through.
Turning to look at the back seat, Lin Xia and her brother finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep in the comfort brought by the sunlight.
Lin Tian's head was resting on his sister's shoulder, while Lin Xia's hand was still tightly gripping the strap of the backpack containing supplies.
Su Jinjin opened the car door quietly, and the cold morning wind made her shiver.
She glanced one last time at the two people sleeping soundly in the car, then headed towards the crane without looking back.
This was a team that was formed temporarily, so there's nothing sad about it.
Moreover, in apocalyptic scenarios, trust is often the most precious thing.
Who knows if the siblings will harm her after they wake up, in order to monopolize the supplies?
The bicycle chain made a soft "click" sound as Su Jinjin's figure gradually disappeared into the morning mist.
