nChapter 56: Corpse Vine Parasite

nTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

n“Sizzle sizzle…”

nThe headless corpses on the ground began to emit a faint sound.

nFang Heng could see tiny vines gradually extending out from the wound on the neck of the corpses.

nNot only that, the faint sound even came from the rows of refrigerators on the left and right sides!

nKun Ba’s scalp went numb.

nIt was the first time he saw such a terrifying scene. He immediately shone his flashlight on the refrigerators on both sides.

nHe was horrified to discover that tiny long strips of objects had been drilled through the gaps of several morgue cabinets.

nWhat the hell was that thing?

nA vine?!

n“Fang Heng…”

nKun Ba’s breathing became heavy.

n“This is troublesome. It’s a vine zombie.”

nThe scene in front of him overlapped with a special type of zombie that Fang Heng had encountered in his body’s memories.

nThis was an extremely rare type of zombie.

nIt belonged to the category of a Tier 2 mutated zombie.

nIt was called a vine zombie by the players.

nIn the memories of this body, the vine zombies moved relatively slowly, but their HP was quite high. They would also use the vines to assist in their attacks.

nOnce the players got close, the vine zombies would extend their branches from their bodies at an extremely fast speed and entangle the players tightly!

nA nightmare of close combat.

nThe safest way was to rely on long-range methods to kill them!

n“Quick! Follow me!”

nFang Heng pulled the bolt of his gun and quickly stepped forward.

n“Boom!”

n“Boom!”

nTwo shots.

nThe two vine zombies blocking the door were each blasted a big hole in their bodies, and their bodies were sent flying backward.

nThey weren’t dead.

nTiny vine tentacles immediately extended out from the hole to seal the wound.

nThey slowly got up from the ground again.

n“Quick!”

nBefore all the vine zombies in the morgue woke up, the two of them quickly ran out of the morgue.

nFang Heng closed the door of the morgue tightly.

nHowever, the power source was no longer working, so the door couldn’t be locked.

nWhatever, as long as possible.

nFang Heng took out a few wooden frames from his backpack to block the door of the room.

nThe two of them immediately returned to the generator room.

n…

nIn the room, Hao Zhou and the others gathered around to study the materials removed from the generator set.

nIn the zombie apocalypse game, the generator set was of high value, and players could not make it.

nIn the early stages, because the players’ levels weren’t high enough, Kun Ta could only remove some useful materials from the generator set, and the quality of the materials would be reduced.

nSeeing Fang Heng and Kun Ba running back in a hurry, everyone immediately stood up and were on alert.

n“What’s wrong?”

n“Quick! Find a way to restore the power in the basement!”

nKun Ta was stunned. He subconsciously replied, “No, I can’t do that. My electronic equipment manufacturing level is very low. If I want to restore it, I need to be at least level 10 or above.”

nKun Ba’s heart sank when he heard that.

nHao Zhou asked, “Why the rush? What happened?”

n“There are zombies in the basement!”

nWhile saying that, Kun Ba turned his eyes to Fang Heng.

nHe had only seen the weird zombies that had revived in the basement, and then he was dragged by Fang Heng to escape.

nTo be honest, he didn’t really know what had happened in the basement.

n“The dean of this hospital is doing research on the T-virus in the morgue. It’s a kind of zombie by the name of corpse vine parasite.”

n“This kind of zombie is sensitive to temperature. It will enter a state of hibernation in a low temperature environment. Under normal circumstances, researchers will lock a large number of zombies with the corpse vine parasite in the freezer of the underground morgue to hibernate.”

n“After the zombie apocalypse, the backup generator set has always maintained the freezing temperature of the basement, and these zombies have also been in a state of hibernation.”

n“After the generator set lost its function, the temperature rose and the corpse vine parasite, which was initially in a dormant state, began to wake up.”

nFang Heng briefly told them what he knew.

nHearing that, everyone immediately became nervous.

nVery few people had heard the name of the corpse vine parasite.

n“What about the strength of the mutated zombie?”

nFang Heng said in a deep voice, “The corpse vine parasite is known as the ‘vine zombie’ among the players. Its strength is equivalent to a Tier 2 mutated zombie. It has an extremely strong killing ability at close range. If you encounter it, be careful not to get close to it!”

nEveryone’s expression changed again.

nThe higher the level of the mutated zombie, the stronger it was!

nThe spider zombie was probably the representative species of the strongest batch of Tier 1 mutated zombies.

nThe corpse vine parasite was more difficult to deal with than the spider zombie!

n“Oh no, how could it be the vine zombie…”

nHao Zhou had also heard his comrades mention the vine zombie.

nHis expression was unusually grave.

n“After the power went out, the electronic door of the morgue also failed. These corpse vine parasites will recover soon. They could find us at any time.”

nHao Zhou looked at Sister Li and asked, “Sister Li, how are you recovering?”

n“I haven’t fully recovered yet. If I forcefully use the skill now, I can only maintain the barrier for six minutes at most.”

nSix minutes was too short!

nWhen they broke into the town, they first lured away most of the zombies, so they could save a lot of time.

nHowever, if they escaped, time would be even tighter.

nThat was because the sound of the explosion would attract the zombies, and the danger level would be doubled.

nThere was no time for that in just six minutes.

n“We still have time. Maybe the corpse vine parasites will stay in the first underground floor.”

nHao Zhou quickly made a decision after thinking for a short while.

n“The corpse vine parasites are slow. Even if they catch up with us, we can just give up the mission and leave.”

n“Without the explosion to attract the nearby zombies, the pressure we’ll face when we escape will be much less.”

nHearing that, the team thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

nAlthough the mission reward was good, it had to be on the premise of saving their lives.

nEveryone only had three chances to die and be reborn. No one was willing to waste one.

nAfter a simple discussion, everyone began to prepare for the next battle.

nFang Heng continued to open the experiment notebook that he had just obtained from the research room.

n5.2

n1. The parasitic efficiency of the corpse vine parasite was much faster than we had imagined. In order to increase the efficiency, we created a large number of corpse vine parasites. Hiding them in the freezer is a good choice.

n2. The experiment had not been carried out yet, but the company wanted us to immediately prepare for the next step of the experiment, trying to integrate with living humans.

n3. Well, I needed some healthy living humans for the experiment, the dean will help us think of a way.

n5.10

n1. Out of the 27 living humans, only one experiment was successful, his name was Alex. After being infected by the parasite, Alex showed great instability. He was violent and bloodthirsty. He would attack all kinds of creatures.

n2. We wanted to find more living humans to experiment on. However, this town was really not big. The accidental disappearances in the town these few days had attracted a small amount of attention.. It was necessary to stop for a while.
