nXiao Jing: “After the mother worm that parasitized the nemesis died, the mother worm’s egg sac ruptured. The undead larvae left the ruptured egg sac and began to search for a new host.”
nXiao Jing: “In most cases, a small number of larvae will choose to continue infecting the corpse.”
nXiao Jing: “After some time, the larvae will grow back into a new mother worm within the nemesis. It will once again control the nemesis, which is what we see as ‘resurrection’.”
nLucia raised the muzzle of her gun and aimed it at the worm.
n“Bang!”
nThe worm shattered into a ball of purple pus.
n‘Mo Jiawei: “What? According to what you said, the nemesis can be resurrected indefinitely and never die?”
nXiao Jing: “Theoretically speaking, if the intensity of the instant output is sufficient, killing the mother worm and the mother worm’s eggs directly can destroy the nemesis. This has happened before.”
nXiao Jing: “In addition, after the mother worm dies, you can try to destroy all the larvae and worms, burning them continuously with high intensity or using corrosive chemicals to damage the nemesis’s corpse.”
nXiao Jing: “But in this way, the larvae in the nemesis’s body will be stimulated, and there is a chance that they will immediately grow into adult worms and take over the body completely, allowing the nemesis to enter the fourth form.”
nXiao Jing: “The fourth form is irreversible. The nemesis will be taken over by the adult and become an ugly monster. Its mobility will also be greatly reduced and it will no longer have the ability to resurrect.”
nXiao Jing: “Destroying the nemesis in its fourth form will also be able to completely kill it.”
nXiao Jing: “The information regarding the nemesis mentioned above is a top-secret of the Federation. Please do not divulge it to the public, Thank you.”
nLarva?
nFang Heng sized up the disgusting creature.
nFang Heng: “How’s the attack power of the larva? Is it contagious?”
nXiao Jin;
n‘m not sure, I don’t have any more information.”
nFang Heng: “Then how long does the resurrection time of the nemesis take?”
nXiao Jing: “It depends on the specific situation. Usually, it might take one to three to four hours. If we can freeze the corpse, burn it continuously, or find a way to put it in a bad environment, we can slow down its resurrection speed.”
nFang Heng: “I got it. Thank you.”
nIt was very troublesome!
nFang Heng felt that the nemesis was more difficult to deal with than the two Tier 4 mutated zombies he had encountered last time.
nContinuous high-intensity flame burning? Corrosive chemicals?
nThis was a chemical plant. If it was sulfuric acid…
nIt would probably have been destroyed in the explosion just now.
nUnfortunately.
nOn second thought, even if he forced out the nemesis’s fourth form, could he win?
n“Fang Heng, what should we do?”
nLucia stopped shooting.
nShe was a little anxious.
n‘There were simply too many worms. A large number of worm creatures had already entered the body of the nemesis. Shooting like this would not have any useful effect.
n“There’s no need to waste bullets. Think of a way to slow down its resurrection time.”
nIn any case, he could not deal with the fourth form of the nemesis.
nWhy not take some benefits from the nemesis and think of a way to delay her resurrection time…
nAnd then run away!
nAfter making up his mind, Fang Heng turned his head and said, “Lucia, go and see if there’s anything nearby that you can use.”
n“Yes, alright!”
nLucia nodded and raised her gun to explore the burning plant.
nFang Heng carefully sized up the nemesis who was in the ‘fake death’ state.
nThen, he controlled a vine zombie to stagger to the front.
nFang Heng handed the zombie an empty glass bottle.
nThe zombie continued to stagger forward until it reached the side of the nemesis.
nIt slowly squatted down.
n“Pada!”
n‘The glass bottle covered the worm.
nFang Heng carefully controlled the vine zombie to put the worm into the glass bottle and tightened the cap.
nHint: Your zombie clone has obtained a glass bottle containing an unknown creature*1.
nHint: This item is of high risk and can not be put into the backpack.}
nGot it!
nFang Heng secretly cheered in his heart.
nAspecial worm that could control the nemesis.
nIts research value was not small!
nWhat if Qiu Yaokang could find a way to turn the zombie clone into the nemesis…
nThe zombie clone returned with the bottle and walked to Fang Heng.
nFang Heng didn’t reach out to take it.
nIt was too risky to carry it with him, so it was better to store it first.
nWith that thought, he controlled the zombie clone to return with the bottle and hide in the sewer.
n‘Then, Fang Heng waved his hand again.
nAnother five zombie clones walked up.
n‘When they passed by Fang Heng, each of them took out a few live sample collectors.
n“As expected of an S-level character. Qiu Yaokang has foresight. He even predicted that I would encounter such a situation.”
nFang Heng smiled helplessly.
nHe had brought enough sample collectors this time!
nThe vine zombie walked to the side of the nemesis one by one.
nSeveral channelling bars appeared above their heads at the same time.
n{Hint: Your zombie clone has completed the live sample collection of the nemesis.
n{Hint: Your zombie clone has completed…
nHint: Collection failed. Your zombie clone is unable to collect more samples!
nFang Heng only let go of the nemesis when the game hint failed to collect more live samples.
nThe zombies handed over all the collected samples to Fang Heng one by one.
nHint: You have obtained the live sample of the nemesis*24.
nWhat should he do next?
nFang Heng was hesitating when Lucia’s voice came through the communication device.
nLucia: “Fang Heng, I saw a warehouse on the east side of the plant. We can think of a way to place the nemesis there.”
nFang Heng: “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
n“Let’s go take a look at Lucia.”
nFang Heng closed his communicator and continued to control the vine zombies.
nSix zombie clones extended out fine vines from their bodies and wrapped around the ‘corpse’ of the nemesis.
nFang Heng led the way while the six vine zombies followed behind, dragging the ‘corpse’ of the nemesis as they slowly moved forward.
nSoon, Fang Heng saw Lucia in the burning ruins of the chemical plant.
n“Fang Heng, what do you think of that?”
nLucia pointed at a burning chemical tank not far away.
nDue to the previous explosion, the entire tank had been affected, and only two-thirds of it was left.
n‘The tank was filled with an unknown liquid, which was constantly burning and emitting a pungent smell.
nFang Heng did not know what kind of liquid was in the jar, but there was a warning sign of a poisonous object drawn on the jar.
nIt was most likely a chemical poison.
nMoreover, it looked like it was a combustible substance. It seemed like it could burn for a while longer.
nFang Heng’s eyes lit up.
nThis seemed to be a good place to dispose of it!
n“Lucia, be careful. Let’s stay away from it.”
n“Okay.”
n
