Chapter 191: Parasite

~10 min read 1,812 words

Walking in was a bald man. The bald man shouldered the shoulder-mounted rocket launcher in his hand and fired several shells at Stark in succession. Only to see red light flash, and explosions occurred one after another on Stark's steel armor.

"It's actually a rocket launcher." Ye Nan grabbed Yinsen and pulled him to the corner, using the stone wall to block the shockwave generated by the explosion.

"I don't know if Stark's Mark I armor can withstand a rocket launcher."

"I don't know either." Yinsen poked his head out, looking at Stark in the smoke and flames, feeling a bit nervous. Now he was like a father watching his child being tested; if successful, the child would grow up, and if he failed, the child would die.

"It seems your rocket launcher isn't very powerful." Stark operated the steel armor and walked out of the smoke and flames. "Things like rocket launchers have no effect on my Mark I."

On the steel armor, except for some black marks smoked by the smoke, there were no other scars.

"Is that so." The bald man threw away the rocket launcher in his hand, opened his mouth, and spat out four tentacles, swaying in the air. "Then I'll blow up your steel armor."

"Just by you?" Stark raised his index finger and shook it slightly. "You can't."

"Try it and you'll know." The bald man rushed over, the tentacles that were originally only four decimeters long suddenly surged to eight decimeters. These tentacles seemed to have life, sweeping toward Stark.

"This bug again." Stark aimed his arms at the bald man. "Watch me burn you to death."

Whoosh!

Two thick flames sprayed out from Stark's steel arms, rolling with scorching heat, rushing toward the bald man.

Seeing the flames, the bald man's face changed. The tentacles that had originally extended retracted in an instant. He moved quickly, dodging the flames.

"Haha... you damn bug, all of you go to hell." Stark laughed wildly, constantly adjusting his arms, aiming at the bald man.

"Damn it." The bald man, while dodging, circled around Stark, looking for a suitable opportunity. "Don't let me get close to you. Otherwise, I'll blow up your tin skin."

"You have to have the chance to get close to me." Stark circled in place, constantly spraying flames at the bald man.

On the other side, Ye Nan and Yinsen were surrounded by zombies controlled by parasites.

These zombies all extended tentacles from their mouths, swaying in the air, surrounding Ye Nan and Yinsen step by step.

"What should we do." Yinsen leaned against the wall, asking Ye Nan beside him. He was just a researcher with no power to truss a chicken. Facing such terrifying zombies, he didn't even have the courage to resist.

"Don't worry, these things can't do anything to me." Ye Nan looked coldly at the zombies surrounding him, constantly thinking of ways in his heart.

The zombies' weapon lay in the virus. However, the Terminator body he operated was made of liquid metal and was not a life form at all. The virus was ineffective against him, and the zombies' teeth and claws were ineffective against the Terminator. He could come and go as he pleased.

But the problem now was that he had to protect Yinsen well and not let him get hurt, especially the zombies' parasites, which were fatal to ordinary people like Yinsen.

Rip!

A zombie rushed over, the tentacles in its mouth aimed at Ye Nan, and the other zombies also rushed over as if they had received some order.

"This bunch of stupid bugs." Ye Nan raised his arm, turning it into a sharp blade, and met them.

"Protect yourself well, and don't get bitten by the bugs, otherwise they will parasitize the virus in your body, control your nervous system, and turn you into one of them."...

"You shouldn't want to turn into their disgusting appearance."

"No." Yinsen retreated repeatedly, picking up a stone. "If I were parasitized by this disgusting thing, I would rather commit suicide."

"I heard that heaven will not accommodate people who commit suicide." Ye Nan chuckled. "So I will eliminate all the zombies, so you don't have to worry about not being able to go to heaven and reunite with your family."

"How did you know my family is all dead." Yinsen widened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible. He remembered that he had never said his family was dead.

Ye Nan ignored Yinsen's question and started fighting with these zombies.

A zombie opened its big mouth, trying hard to spit out the tentacles inside, and the pink tentacles attacked Ye Nan's front.

"Don't touch me with this disgusting thing." Ye Nan roared, cutting off the extended tentacles with one slash. Facing these tentacles, Ye Nan couldn't help but think of the Queen, that dead Queen.

Yellow liquid dripped from the broken tentacles, and the severed end of the tentacles kept jumping on the ground, still wanting to rush toward Ye Nan.

"As disgusting as the Queen." Ye Nan stepped on the jumping tentacles, crushing them. "Disgusting recovery ability and toxins."

"Yinsen, you leave first and find a place to hide."

He still remembered the Queen's venom volatilizing into the air, turning the air into poisonous mist, and causing Liehu to be hit. He didn't want Yinsen to be hit again.

"Okay." Yinsen responded immediately upon hearing this, turned around, and ran.

"Now let me take care of you properly." Ye Nan moved his foot away. The tentacle under his foot was already dead.

"It seems your recovery ability is not as good as the Queen's, so I can rest assured."

Ye Nan muttered to himself. If these zombies had the Queen's powerful recovery ability, he would really have to run away. After all, what he was operating now was just the Terminator's body, not his original body, and he didn't have the advantage in strength and speed.

But fortunately, these zombies were not the Queen and didn't have her power, so he dared to face them so calmly.

The zombies rushed up one after another, forming a small encirclement, the tentacles in their mouths ferocious, stabbing toward Ye Nan.

"Stupid."

Ye Nan's body lowered, and the whole person turned into a mass of silver-white liquid, flowing out from between the zombies' feet.

"Although they retain their wisdom and look like normal people, zombies are zombies. No matter how much wisdom they retain, they are not as good as ordinary people." Ye Nan appeared from behind these zombies.

"Hey, take this punch."

He swung his fist and punched a zombie away.

The other zombies reacted, rushing toward Ye Nan one after another, the tentacles in their mouths waving even more fiercely.

A tentacle wrapped around Ye Nan's arm, stabbing fiercely toward Ye Nan's arm. Ye Nan vaguely saw a small needle-like object appear on the tentacle.

"Is this the thing that injects the virus into the human body?" Ye Nan wondered.

As far as he knew, there were two ways for parasites to infect a person. One was virus infection, injecting the virus into the human body. The parasite would absorb energy in the human body, grow up, slowly control the human nervous system, and compete with the person for control. Once the person couldn't compete with the parasite and was controlled by the parasite, they would become a zombie.

This method of virus infection took about two days to take effect. In the first moment of poisoning, because of the growth of the parasite, it would squeeze the liver inside the human body, causing massive internal bleeding...

There was another way, which was directly using the adult worm, drilling in through the person's mouth. The moment it entered, it could control the person's nervous system, which was very fast.

Both methods had their pros and cons. One was hidden but took a long time, while the other was violent and only took a short moment.

However, what Ye Nan could never understand was how the parasite itself transmitted the virus. Now he knew that at the tip of the parasite's tentacles, there was a small needle-like object. The parasite relied on this to inject the virus into the human body.

"But this thing is useless against me."

The parasite's tentacles stung Ye Nan's arm fiercely, making a bang sound.

"How can a flesh-and-blood body compare to a steel body?" Ye Nan grabbed the parasite's tentacles and pulled hard, pulling a parasite out of the zombie's body.

Seeing the parasite leave the body, the zombie suddenly showed a painful expression, grabbed his own neck with both hands, coughed continuously, and spat out a large amount of fresh blood. After a while, he lay on the ground and stopped moving.

"Dead? Could it be that the existence of the parasite actually maintained the zombie's life?" Ye Nan was slightly surprised.

Sizzle!

The parasite kept shaking in Ye Nan's hand, and several tentacles stung Ye Nan fiercely. But unfortunately, Ye Nan was operating the Terminator's body, which was not something a skinny parasite like this could penetrate.

And even if it did penetrate, it was painless and itchy to Ye Nan. When the Terminator T-1000 suffered an attack exceeding its own limit, it would automatically turn into liquid, unloading the force. Moreover, the whole body was a liquid metal shell, and it was not afraid of viruses.

To some extent, the Terminator could be considered the nemesis of the parasite.

Ye Nan grabbed the parasite in his hand and threw it fiercely toward Stark. "Brother, lend me some fire."

Hearing this, Stark turned around, saw a parasite flying toward him, and without thinking, aimed the flamethrower device at the parasite, spraying a large amount of flames, burning the parasite into charcoal.

"Where is Yinsen, where did he go." Stark saw that Yinsen was not by Ye Nan's side and asked anxiously.

"Many zombies just surrounded us, so I let Yinsen hide first." Ye Nan spread his hands and said, "These zombies are too disgusting, so I'll leave them to you."

As soon as Ye Nan's words fell, his whole body turned into a pile of silver-white liquid, flowing away from under the zombies' feet. As soon as he left, a large amount of flames sprayed over, covering the entire space, and one zombie after another wailed in the flames.

"Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have turned into charcoal like these zombies." Ye Nan re-condensed into a human form in the distance, with a look of relief on his face.

"Anyway, it's just a toy, so if it's burned, it's burned."

"Careful."
