Chapter 447 - Mutant Worm Parasite

n
nFang Heng turned his head and glanced in the direction where Liang Hucheng and the others had retreated.
n
nHe asked, “Roche, are you familiar with the group that attacked Edge Creek Town? Do you know where their stronghold is?”
n
nRoche said, “I know! That group is in the area next door, about six kilometers away from here. They’ve come to harass us more than once in the past.”
n
nHe clenched his teeth when he mentioned Liang Hucheng and his men.
n
nHe said, “We let them escape the last few times. I didn’t expect that they would take advantage of our lack of guards to launch a sneak attack…”
n
nFang Heng hummed in agreement.
n
nHe said, “Okay, take me there.”
n
nA light flashed across Roche’s eyes.
n
nHe thought, “Commander was going to help us get back at them!”
n
nSuddenly, Roche and the remaining Scavengers Army members felt a burning desire to fight.
n
nThey said in unison, “Yes! Commander!”
n
n…
n
nLiang Hucheng returned to the shelter with a group of defeated soldiers.
n
nIt was a nightmare.
n
nHe felt like he had just experienced a nightmare and risked his life to survive on the battlefield.
n
nHe was drenched in sweat.
n
nHe was sure that the unknown zombies he had encountered before were definitely Tier 5 mutated zombies.
n
nHe changed into a clean set of clothes and immediately returned to the shelter’s command post to make arrangements.
n
nHe asked, “Have you informed the superiors about the previous battle?”
n
nA Federation soldier said, “Yes, sir. The relevant situation has been reported to our superiors as soon as possible. We are currently gathering a portion of the battlefield footage. Once we are done, we will immediately…
n
n“Report! Anomaly detected outside the shelter!”
n
nLiang Hucheng asked, “What?”
n
nThe Federation soldier said, “Anomaly detected! It might be a high-tier zombie.”
n
nThen he switched the large screen image to the one captured by the surveillance camera outside the shelter.
n
nHe said, “The anomaly location has been placed on the surveillance screen.”
n
nOn the screen, the camera zoomed out.
n
nLiang Hucheng’s eyelids twitched.
n
nHe thought, “This…”
n
nHe saw the two tall figures once again.
n
nHe shouted wordlessly, “That’s right! It’s them!
n
n“The two Tier 5 mutated zombies I had encountered before!
n
n“They had actually chased us to the shelter!
n
n“I can meet them everywhere!”
n
nLiang Hucheng’s expression changed slightly. He was still worried about what just happened, but now he became even more nervous.
n
nHe shouted, “Quick! Confirm the zombies’ identity!”
n
nThe research personnel of the shelter immediately made a comparison, saying, “Confirm they are high-level mutated zombies. There’s no match in the database. Their size is similar to an increased version of the Tyrant form zombies.
n
n“They seem to stop there and do not attack.
n
n“Sir, the 2 Tier 5 mutated zombies are still outside the effective range of our shelter. Maybe only a long-range sniper rifle and some heavy weapons can hurt them. Should we attack?”
n
nLiang Hucheng thought, “Attack?
n
n“Of course not!”
n
nHe immediately rejected this stupid idea.
n
nHe had seen the defensive capabilities of Tier 5 mutated zombies.
n
nEven if the two Tier 5 mutated zombies stood still, they would not be severely damaged at such a distance.
n
nHe did not know why the two Tier 5 mutated zombies did not attack.
n
nBut it would be even more troublesome if they took the initiative to attack and attract them.
n
nSo Liang Hucheng said, “No need. Do not attack for now. Everyone enters an advanced state. Send a distress signal to the nearby shelter and continue to observe!”
n
nOthers shouted, “Understand!”
n
nA deputy commander felt uneasy and asked, “Do we need to send a team over to take a look?”
n
nLiang Hucheng said, “No need.”
n
n…
n
nFang Heng was currently by a road approximately less than a kilometer from the shelter.
n
nHe jumped off Tyrant’s shoulder and observed the shelter that belonged to Federation from afar.
n
nFrom afar, this was a medium-sized shelter.
n
nIn theory, a similar shelter would not be equipped with beam weapons.
n
nRoche also jumped off a fusion Tyrant form’s shoulder and followed Fang Heng.
n
nAlong the way, Roche was greatly shocked.
n
nThis was the first time he discovered that a giant-sized zombie corpse could be used as a driving tool.
n
nAfter landing, Roche carefully observed the two giant-sized zombie corpses.
n
nHe thought, “Are they the ones who wiped out an entire survivor corps?
n
nHe unconsciously shifted his gaze to the eyeball on the Tyrant form’s chest.
n
nHe felt a strong sense of unease and discomfort from the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly shifted his gaze away from the eyeball.
n
nThey waited on the spot for nearly three minutes, but Fang Heng did not move or speak.
n
nRoche could not help but ask, “Commander, are we still waiting for reinforcements?”
n
nFang Heng remained silent as usual.
n
nRoche frowned. He realized that Fang Heng seemed to be focusing on controlling something and didn’t have the time to answer his question.
n
nSuddenly, Roche heard several extremely weak sounds.
n
nThey were faint rustling sounds.
n
nLooking in the direction where the sounds came from, Roche couldn’t help but swallow.
n
nHe thought, “What are those things!”
n
nHe squinted at them carefully. Countless dark purple worm bodies about the size of fingernails crawled out from the cracked skin of the two giant-sized zombie corpses.
n
nThe purple worm bodies climbed along the zombie corpses’ feet to the ground and quickly spread forward.
n
nRoche was suddenly shocked.
n
nHe looked in the direction where the worm bodies were spreading. Then he raised his head to look at the shelter ahead.
n
n“Skill: Mutant worm parasite.”
n
nFang Heng was highly concentrated.
n
nControlling the purple worm bodies that crawled out from the fusion Tyrant forms was very difficult, and it required a lot of energy.
n
nHe had to give it his all.
n
n…
n
nPlayers were still in Federation’s medium-sized shelter.
n
nOn top of the towering sentry tower, Federation’s elite players were fully focused, staring at the two black shadows in the distance.
n
nTen minutes had passed.
n
nThe two black shadows did not move at all.
n
nNo one realized that there were countless tiny purple worm bodies on the ground rapidly approaching the camp.
n
nThe first batch of worm bodies was climbing up the sentry towers of the defensive line outside the shelter.
n
nLin Yueping was an elite sniper of Federation, and he gained a powerful long-range shooting talent skill after entering the game.
n
nHe had been staring at the two Tier 5 mutated zombies for a long time.
n
nHe could not help but mutter to himself, “What exactly are the two monsters…”
n
nThrough the scope, he could see the eyeball at the heart of the monsters, and he was scared.
n
nOne companion said, “I heard they are Tier 5 mutated zombies. Be careful. They are not that easy to deal with.
n
nAnother companion said, “I heard that Scavenger Army created them.”
n
n“I’m not sure. But our boss just met them, and he suffered a lot…”
n
nOn the sentry tower, Lin Yueping and the other two were staring at the giant-sized zombie corpses in the distance through their scope.
n
nThey didn’t notice that a purple worm body quickly climbed up the ladder to the sentry tower.
n
nThe worm body crawled along the floor to Lin Yueping’s feet, climbing up his shoes and crawling into his pants.
n
nSuddenly, Lin Yueping shuddered and cried out in shock.
n
nHe shouted, “What’s it!”
n
nA game hint quickly flashed across his eyes.
n
n“Hint: You have been attacked by an unknown worm body, receiving two points of damage.”
n
n“Hint: Your infection index has increased slightly.”
n
n“Hint: You have been attacked by an unknown worm body.”
n
nLin Yueping felt something crawl into his pants. The red warning hint he saw confirmed that he was in trouble.
n
nThe other two companions on the sentry tower asked, “What’s Wrong?”
n
nThey were puzzled, putting down their sniper rifle and looking at Lin Yueping.
n
nLin Yueping said, “There’s something crawled up my leg…”
n
