Chapter 448: Infection
Lin Yueping frowned. As he spoke, he immediately took out a combat knife from his backpack and cut open the hem of his pants.
“What’s that?”
After tearing open the leg of his pants, they saw a tiny purple bug on Lin Yueping’s shin!
The sharp mouthpart of the bug had produced a long and thin cut on the skin of Lin Yueping’s shin.
Dark red blood oozed out from the wound.
Lin Yueping felt a chill in his heart.
One of his companions saw this and immediately reached out to grab the insect and tried to pinch it to death.
However, in the next second, the insect seemed to have sensed the danger ahead of time and actually drilled into the wound.
In a flash, a small lump appeared on the skin of Lin Yueping’s shin.
“Hiss!”
The other two companions could not help but be startled when they saw this, and they gasped.
The lump was visibly moving along his chin at a fast speed, then it entered his abdomen, and disappeared.
Both of them looked at Lin Yueping at the same time, their faces filled with horror.
Lin Yueping’s face was even paler than before.
The game Hint kept flashing by.
“Hint: an unknown mutated insect is attempting to parasitize you”
“Hint: your infection has increased significantly... please be careful!”
“Hint: the unknown bug is attempting to control your central nervous system”
“Hint (obtained from low-level game difficulty) : Based on your various basic attribute, your central nervous system will be infected by the unknown bug within 28 seconds. You can choose to consume 1,500 survival points and gain an additional 180 seconds to protect your central nervous system from being infected.”
“Hint: you have consumed 1,500 survival points. Please find a way to remove the infected parasite from your body as soon as possible.”
In an instant, Lin Yueping’s face turned ghastly white.
The other two companions also looked at him in shock.
“What should we do?”
“What did the game Hint say?”
Lin Yueping opened his mouth and was about to say something when suddenly, his pupils dilated several times.
He saw something even more terrifying and raised his hand forward.
“Be careful!”
In the next second, they heard an extremely soft sound of friction.
It was like a squirming worm.
The two of them instinctively turned around and looked in the direction that Lin Yueping was pointing at.
More tiny purple worms climbed up the wall of the sentry tower and quickly gathered towards the three of them.
“What the hell? !”
“Stay back! Stay back!”
Bang! Bang!
In desperation, the two immediately fired, trying to kill the tiny purple worms.
...
In the command headquarters of the shelter, Liang Hucheng was still anxiously waiting for reinforcements.
A gunshot broke the silence of the night.
Liang Hucheng was shocked and immediately looked out of the window.
He noticed that something seemed to have happened at a sentry tower outside.
“What’s going on over there? Why are they shooting?”
“Trying to contact the communicator.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of loud cries for help came from the communicator.
“Bugs! Where did the bugs come from!”
“Infection! Kill them quickly! They will spread the zombie virus!”
Liang Hucheng suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling. He immediately pressed the communication button and shouted into the microphone,”What Bug? Be clear!”
“Purple Bug! Bug! He crawled into Hua Hongliang’s body!”
“Da*n it!”
“Bang, Bang, Bang...”
“Zombie transformation! He’s infected by the zombie virus...!”
The communication device was soon filled with screams and gunshots.
Liang Hucheng looked out of the window again.
In a few seconds, gunshots were heard from almost all the sentry tower.
The sentry tower inside the shelter was in chaos!
However, from the point of view of their command center, the Sentry Tower did not receive any attack from the outside!
Liang Hucheng felt a chill on his back.
He did not even know where the danger came from!
The enemy’s shadow was still far away and did not move. The defense of the Sentry Tower of the shelter had been declared to have fallen.
What should they do next?
Soon, after occupying the sentry tower, the purple worms climbed up the wall behind them.
Ordinary automatic cannons could not detect the tiny worms. They easily broke through the periphery of the defense line, climbed up the wall, and entered the bodies of Federation soldier on the wall..
In the blink of an eye, the shouts and gunshots spread to the defense line of the city wall.
The entire shelter fell into chaos in an instant.
“Can someone tell me what’s going on?”
In the command room, Federation soldiers looked at each other.
No one answered. They all saw the fear in their eyes.
In the silence, one of the soldiers suddenly changed his expression and said,”Sir, there’s something wrong with the Tier-5 zombie.”
Liang Hucheng’s eyes widened in shock, and he turned to look at the big screen.
The two black shadows in the distance began to move.
At this time, the entire shelter was in chaos. They had no time to deal with the two tyrant form!
...
“Hint: your mutant body has completed parasitizing and has taken control of the central nervous system.”
“Hint: you have gained control of the parasite... the host’s level has been determined — low-level life form, no skills, basic infection ability.”
“Hint: your mental strength has been used up, you can no longer control it.”
“Hint: forcefully using mental strength to control it will cause a backlash, please be careful.”
He felt dizzy.
Fang Heng took a deep breath and gulped down a bottle of coffee.
The good news was that both players and NPCs would become zombies after being infected by the mutated insects!
Although their attribute was no different from the low-level ordinary zombies outside, they came with an additional infection index to their attack.
The tricky part was that Fang Heng found it very difficult to control them.
Under normal circumstances, controlling the fusion of the tyrant form did not require much mental strength.
However, controlling the purple worm that crawled out of the fusion of the tyrant form required a lot of mental strength. As for controlling the zombie body that was controlled by the mutant worm, it required ten times more mental strength than controlling the mutant worm!
Fang Heng realized that his mental strength, which he had never used since entering the game, had been reduced to 0.
After several attempts, Fang Heng chose to temporarily give up.
“Never mind.”
He decided to take a step back so that he did not have to control the zombies that were infected by the mutant worm. Then he only needed to give them an attack order when he wanted.
The ability of mutant worm parasite had already exceeded Fang Heng’s expectations.
It was simply too good!
“Commander.”
Roche, who had watched the whole battle, twitched his lips.
For the first time, he felt fear from Fang Heng.
It was the person in front of him!
He had seen Fang Heng control two mutated zombies and easily turn the entire shelter into ruins.
Only a zombie team was left in the ruins..
Fang Heng slowly looked away.
“Roche, since you’re here, why don’t you clean up the place? You know this area well, right? Take me to the next shelter.”
“Yes!”
