Chapter 564: Blood Seed

r"Please destroy the blood corpse as soon as possible, sir!"

"If we drag this out any longer, it will recover!"

"Stunned, the soldier who had reined in his warhorse urged repeatedly, and then the ascetic practitioner who slowly flew in also silently stared at Lin An, examining him closely."

"Regarding Lin An's one-sword split of the blood corpse, all the surviving cavalry's eyes were filled with admiration."

"Only ascetic practitioners can contend with this kind of monster."

"Zhang Tie, following behind Lin An, saw the excited looks of the crowd, yet a hint of suspicion arose in him."

"Captain Lin, they don't seem surprised by your strength."

"In the midst of whispered conversations, Xiong Hanzi also heard many soldiers excitedly discussing in low voices."

"As expected of the order given by the 67th Ascetic Practitioner, this sir seems quite strong..."

"How can this ascetic practitioner sir use a weapon? He looks strange; isn't he afraid of damaging his faith..."

"The noise was clamorous."

"Lin An hesitated for a moment, then furrowed his brow."

"In his field of view, the exposed human infant curled up inside the flesh and bone structure, seemingly still unaware of what had happened."

"Covered head to toe in filthy blood, tube after tube like umbilical cords linked him to the 'carcass'."

"Unfathomable."

"From these soldiers' mouths, they did not consider this to be a human infant."

"This is a blood corpse, without a doubt."

"In that very breath of hesitation, the human infant exposed to the air suddenly began to grow."

"Its limbs twitched, inflating like a balloon and bursting open."

"Under Lin An's gaze, the infant's bones rapidly pierced the skin and began to grow at breakneck speed."

"In just a few short seconds, it grew to the size of a youth."

"Only its tightly shut eyes never opened."

"Sir!!"

"Hurry up and act!"

"We can't drag this out any longer!"

"The charging soldiers stared at Lin An in bewilderment, unable to understand why he still hadn't acted."

"After breaking through the blood corpse's defense, killing the blood seed—isn't that common sense?"

"While they fought the pursuing zombie soldiers, they also kept their eyes on the blood corpse."

"Many of them hesitated whether to step forward with spears to stab the ever-growing infant to death."

"It wasn't that they didn't dare."

"But they seemed to have received a special order, absolutely certain that Lin An would settle everything."

"His heart felt heavy."

"Lin An fixed his stare on the rapidly growing infant, paying no heed to the clamor around him."

"He wanted to see what the so-called blood corpse really was, and what this infant was actually doing!"

"Ten seconds later, the infant curled up inside the fleshly carcass had grown to the size of an adult, and the bones that had pierced the skin were once again enveloped by newly grown skin."

"Upon entering adulthood, his skin began to age rapidly."

"Wrinkles appeared, his hair turned white."

"Exposed to the air, it was as if time had been accelerated."

"Oxidation, aging."

"Infant, youth, middle-aged, elderly."

"Xiong Hanzi gaped, watching the so-called blood seed wither and transform into a stooped old man."

"Within about ten seconds, the blood seed underwent what seemed like a century."

"The ascetic practitioner floating in midair watched the scene with a blank expression."

"But whenever he looked toward Lin An, his eyes would flicker with some fluctuation."

"Captain Lin!!"

"In the team's communication, Zhang Tie expressed his shock, urgently asking:"

"Or should we just hurry up and kill this thing!"

"This looks way too damn weird!"

"Hearing the voice, Lin An firmly shook his head, his gaze refusing to leave the blood seed."

"As if suddenly enlightened, he suddenly thought of many things."

"Amid the urgent urging of many soldiers, the blood seed's regeneration speed stalled, then suddenly surged."

"Oh no! It's going to recover!"

"All on alert."

"Even though Lin An displayed the power to easily subdue the blood corpse, seeing the blood seed recover under his performance, these soldiers instinctively grew tense."

"Everyone held their guns, ready to launch another charge."

"Among everyone present, only that ascetic practitioner remained silent, heedlessly watching everything unfold."

"Crack—crack"

"Bones burst forth, like breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn."

"Only seen, the blood seed that had entered old age rapidly enlarged, in a short time regrowing into a flesh-and-blood exoskeletal armor."

"The zombie soldiers that had originally been howling as they charged at the soldiers now also rushed like thrown feed to the side of the fallen blood corpse."

Hundreds of thin, elongated blood vessels extended from inside the blood corpse, drilling into the zombie's brain to extract.

Like sucking jelly, these zombies were instantly drained of their bodies, leaving only a thin skin shell.

The curled blood seed began to enlarge.

What is shocking is:

As it expanded and enlarged, a baby once again appeared inside its cavity.

"Sss—"

The flesh was pierced.

Vessel-like connectors were reinserted into the baby's body.

Through the gaps in the regenerated flesh exoskeleton.

Pieces of flesh spontaneously peeled off, taking the shape of cluster bombs, and were loaded into the launch ports on the chest and shoulders.

The hydraulic device activated, and the blood corpse that had collapsed and regenerated stood up again.

In 14 seconds, the flesh exoskeleton finished regenerating.

Just like the first blood corpse encountered.

Inside the blood corpse before them, a baby regenerated anew, muscles bulging all over, and the dark launch ports slowly opened.

This is the rebirth of the blood seed...

This is the blood corpse?

After watching the entire process, Lin An took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock.

So that's how it is.

After the blood corpse's outer defenses are broken, if the internal blood seed is not immediately killed, it will become a new blood corpse seed.

Regeneration, recovery, reenactment.

Put bluntly, it's self-replication.

Unbelievable.

And the internal technological weapons were actually evolved from flesh and blood.

Watching this strange and evil scene, Lin An couldn't help but recall a name.

Blood-base regenerative weapon!

In the real world, scientists during the Cold War once proposed such a biological weapon.

The basic logic is similar to nanomachines, modeled after shape-memory alloy.

Through genetic modification, a biological weapon is produced.

When injured, it automatically consumes to repair; when destroyed, it relies on blood-base regeneration!

But, the blood corpse before them is far stronger than the imagined blood-base weapon—by more than tenfold!

Attacking and infecting humans, and when the infected humans become zombies, it is equivalent to increasing its blood reserves.

Once it suffers a devastating blow, it can recover with the aid of zombies.

"Boom—crack"

The launch ports opened, and the mechanical device simulated from flesh and blood began to rotate.

"Not good! Disperse formation, evade attack!"

Seeing the blood corpse regenerate, the legion cavalry commander, both shocked and angry, issued a heart-rending command to scatter the remaining troops.

"Boom!"

Flames spewed, and a barrage of cluster bombs was launched.

In an instant, Lin An moved.

The sword light flashed, shattering the shell that had burst out of the barrel.

The flesh exploded.

The blood corpse that had regenerated again collapsed into a pile of flesh.

But this time, the sword tip pierced the baby's skull.

It was stirred.
