Chapter 305: Split Body

Yingzhou saw Lu Wang go to chase the brood mother; he originally did not want to let the other party steal his kill, but considering that Pake and the experimental subject were still at the Hatchery, Yingzhou ultimately swallowed his words and instructed the other party to be careful.

"Uh... has he already run far away? He's quite fast."

Yingzhou looked at the now-vanished Lu Wang, muttered to himself in a low voice, and then turned his gaze toward the Zerg's deformed Hatchery.

Those red-bellied bugs were blown apart by the Catachan toughs using laser guns, but once that red plasma touched someone, it would burn the entire person to ashes in just a few seconds.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Vitrian Dragoons that this situation was broken; the red plasma sprayed onto their black scale armor, and aside from raising a wisp of high-temperature heat, it did not cause any damage.

With the Vitrian Dragoons holding off the red-bellied bugs' attack in the front, the Catachan toughs in the rear fired their laser guns continuously, blowing up one red-bellied bug after another, and the red plasma splashing onto the ground would also scorch the earth black.

Soon, the red-bellied bugs were wiped out completely.

"That's true, after all, where would there be so many nutrients in the Inner City? Having this many is already quite good."

After wiping out these red-bellied bugs, the Catachan toughs once again set bombs under the Hatchery, while the Vitrian Dragoons stood guard for any other Aliens, ready to open fire at any time.

Yingzhou noticed at this moment that one of the Humans who had been fighting the guard bugs inside had disappeared; it seemed Pake had vanished, leaving only a youth in white clothes there, crazily attacking the flesh mass, while the flesh in his hands was constantly devouring the flesh of the Zerg Incubation Nest.

"Damn it! Let that guy get away!"

Yingzhou cursed in a low voice and checked the progress of the Catachan toughs setting bombs under the Hatchery.

But the corpse of the Catachan tough who had been accidentally touched by the red plasma and burned to ashes was now being shrouded by a mass of shadow, and then the charred corpse merged into the black shadow and disappeared.

"With this physical constitution, even a corpse burned like this can actually increase my strength by so much! If it were a complete corpse like this, I might not even be able to digest this body."

Pake, in the shadows, after feeling the incomparable strength the corpse brought him, hid in the shadows and looked at the few corpses not far away, and began to devour them in the same manner.

Yingzhou noticed at this time that the bodies of the few Catachan toughs who had just sacrificed themselves were missing, but the marks on the ground indeed indicated that several corpses had once lain here.

"Strange, where did they go?"

Yingzhou arrived at the place where the battle had just occurred, followed by 20 Vitrian Dragoons, and frowned.

There was residual Spiritual Power here; the soldiers he summoned currently had no Spiritual Power, so where did this residual Spiritual Power come from? Pake was right in this vicinity!

The Spiritual Power within Yingzhou began to circulate, and a powerful aura burst forth; the surrounding Vitrian Dragoons felt their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their hearts constantly reinforcing their Loyalty to the Emperor.

This is all I can do with Spiritual Power for now; it's fortunate that my physical constitution has improved so much, otherwise, how could I handle circulating Spiritual Power like this?

Thinking of this, the Spiritual Power around Yingzhou shook, and the surrounding objects vibrated, but he did not find the hiding Pake.

Seeing this, Yingzhou had no choice but to stop circulating his Spiritual Power and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems he has already left here; I discovered it too late."

Just at this moment, a sound of fighting came from inside the Hatchery, and the nearby Catachan Squad was also quickly rushing over to support.

Yingzhou remembered the corpses that had just disappeared and immediately ran toward the direction the fighting sounds were coming from.

Those were the bodies of Catachan toughs; if Pake devoured them and increased his own strength, then his current power would not fear the Catachan toughs at all.

The Vitrian Dragoons behind him wanted to follow, but were ordered by Yingzhou to watch that no suspicious creatures escaped from the Hatchery.

When Yingzhou arrived and saw the scene before him, his bad premonition became reality.

Two Catachan toughs had already fallen in a pool of blood, and a black shadow was shuttling back and forth in the shadows; the attacks it sent out from time to time were also extremely sharp. Even with the Catachan toughs coming to support, the opponent's figure remained in the shadows, and one did not know from which shadow it would appear the next second.

"Watch out!"

The Catachan Devil who arrived blocked the black shadow's attack with a Catachan Combat Knife. After the two Sharp Blades collided, the Catachan Devil was finally able to see the opponent's weapon clearly: it was a Black Bone Blade, exceptionally sharp, and its surface was covered with a layer of eerie power.

The next second, that black shadow disappeared into the darkness again.

Yingzhou's pupils changed color, turning pale gold, and he found Pake, who was hiding in the shadows, directly.

"So you're hiding here! Traitor!"

Yingzhou lunged toward a shadow, a Chainsword appeared in his hand, and he covered the blade with Spiritual Power, piercing the throat of the black shadow before him with one strike. After feeling the sensation of hitting a solid object, Yingzhou pulled the Chainsword in his hand downward accompanied by a buzzing sound, and the black shadow before him was split directly in two, except for the head.

Yingzhou stood up slowly, but the prompt sound that should have indicated the completion of the Task did not ring out.

"Strange, looking at the appearance of that black shadow, it is Pake; how could it not show the Task as completed?"

Yingzhou clicked on the Task System in confusion and found that the task of killing Pake had indeed not been completed.

"Damn it! Did the system bug out? Why is it not showing the Task as completed?"

A few seconds later, the system's prompt sound finally came.

"The system has not bugged out, because the host did not kill the task target, so please work hard to complete the task, only then can you obtain the reward."

Hearing the system say this, Yingzhou looked in confusion at Pake, who had emerged from the shadows; at this moment, Pake was already lying on the ground in a "person" shape.

After summoning three medical Xiunu, Yingzhou had them check what was abnormal about this corpse.

Soon, a medical Xiunu came before Yingzhou, knelt respectfully on one knee, and said in a devout tone.

"Reporting to the God-Emperor, this corpse should be an Alien's split body; it does not possess the characteristics of a Human."

After hearing this, Yingzhou nodded with a grave expression; the battle above seemed to be nearing its end, and Yingzhou said to the Catachan Devil standing not far away.

"Prepare to detonate this place, blow everything here to pieces!"

"Yes!"

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a series of violent explosions, high-temperature flames quickly began to burn this Hatchery, and the Zerg inside let out shrill cries.

From time to time, Zerg burning with flames escaped from the Hatchery, only to be shot dead by the Catachan toughs or Vitrian Dragoons surrounding the Hatchery, and the black smoke produced by the burning flames shot straight into the clouds.

Not until the Task reward was issued did Yingzhou confirm that this Hatchery had been cleared, leaving only a ruin.
