Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 192 - 187: The Great Parasite
Chapter 192: Chapter 187: The Great Parasite
"That guy said this was used to prevent the Fake People invasion, turns out to be a big liar!" KIKI realized immediately, the appearance of these two Parasites in front of this huge lantern flower must be hiding some secret.
Lin Xian made a decisive decision, directly saying to KIKI: "Girl, quickly, try to see if you can uproot this flower!"
"Okay!"
Without a word, KIKI reached out and grabbed forward, her invisible Telekinesis extending out, enveloping the lantern flower. However, under her Evolution Level telekinesis, the lantern flower only trembled, causing the tanks and deep chemical pools below to start violently shaking, the water murky, emitting a buzzing tremor.
Gurgle~
At this time, bubbles began to emerge from the black chemical pool, and then the bubbles gradually multiplied, starting to boil.
Lin Xian looked at KIKI and noticed that the girl’s face was nearly turning red while the tanks below were slightly deforming due to the invisible force tearing and compressing them.
"Stop pulling!"
He immediately stopped KIKI; 70% tert-butyl hydroperoxide is a volatile and explosive chemical substance. Vibration and friction can be a problem, and if this girl accidentally ruptured the tank, even ten layers of steel doors would turn to ashes.
KIKI’s face was beaded with sweat; hearing Lin Xian’s words, she could only stop her actions, saying, "The roots of this flower are well-developed below, not just the part we see; it’s impossible to pull out."
During the conversation, the boiling bubbles in the chemical pool became more numerous. At this point, out of the two’s line of sight, a white humanoid thing slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.
The two changed their expressions immediately, because that thing was also a Meat Person Bone stripped of its skin!
The Meat Person Bone’s whole body was pale white from the soaking in the pool, with muscles and internal organs exposed outside, looking extremely horrifying.
In quick succession, an even more horrifying scene occurred, an increasing number of bloated and pale Meat People Bones continuously surfaced in the chemical pool—ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred, three hundred...
Densely packed, from afar they looked like a pot of boiling and expanding porridge, causing goosebumps all over one’s body.
Lin Xian and KIKI felt terrible watching this scene.
"How... how can there be so many dead people in this chemical factory?" KIKI’s face was ashen, forcing down the urge to vomit as she spoke.
By this point, Lin Xian could imagine just how horrifying the smell must be here; if it weren’t for the anti-toxic masks they were wearing, they would probably have been knocked out already.
"Let’s go."
Without another word, Lin Xian prepared to retreat.
By now, he had figured out that the reason the town could block the night’s Abnormal Bodies was probably because of this lantern flower. Even Telekinesis Users like KIKI weren’t able to handle it; in such a dangerous environment, it was normal for others to not be able to cope either.
At this moment, Lin Xian still believed the lantern flowers to be a type of Blood Calamity Disaster Plant and was even contemplating how to negotiate with Director Ding about taking the flower away.
But the next instant, he completely dismissed this thought.
Because at this time, in the chemical pool, hundreds of Meat People Bones suddenly rose and slipped aside, something seemed to have emerged from below.
Rumble~
Shaking, water roaring, and the sound of bodies falling into the water echoed continuously. Lin Xian and KIKI only glanced once and sensed a serious problem had arisen; they started running out.
"Shu Qin Building, prepare to retreat!"
Lin Xian immediately shouted through the communicator.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Countless Meat People Bones fell into the pool, and then, a black tentacle spanning tens of meters long, like a python, rose from the deep pool, with humanoid tendrils at the front, and a ring of sharp teeth around its orifice in the middle.
"This lantern flower... is alive!!"
KIKI, hovering midair, saw this scene and immediately exclaimed in shock, swiftly flying towards the door.
But the tentacle was too long and, as if it had eyes, it contracted and lashed out directly towards Lin Xian!
"Lin Xian!"
KIKI tried to use her superpower to restrain that enormous tentacle, but just as she made a move, she found it was completely unstoppable, and with a void in hand, that huge tentacle already lunged at Lin Xian.
Whoosh!
In a flash, Lin Xian immediately used a Backflash to the side, turning into a silver afterimage, and narrowly dodged the tentacle.
Boom! freёwebnoѵel.com
The tentacle’s momentum was undiminished, piercing directly through the warehouse door in front of Lin Xian, blocking the way out.
"Lin Xian, that way!" KIKI, flying in the sky, immediately pointed Lin Xian towards another safe exit.
"Be careful!"
However, at that moment, Lin Xian’s expression turned to one of horror, as he shouted back at her.
Because right behind KIKI, a second tentacle appeared!
Buzz!
A dull whoosh resonated in the vast chemical workshop. KIKI hadn’t reacted yet when the tentacle’s mouthpart engulfed her. Fortunately, she managed to wrap her entire body with telekinesis at the critical moment, and like a balloon, she was pushed and sent flying away.
"Little girl, you go up!"
Lin Xian was running frantically towards the direction of the safety door, while KIKI was cut off from retreat by the second tentacle.
KIKI, having been knocked into the air, stabilized her posture. Now pale, she looked towards the direction Lin Xian indicated, spotted an air vent above, and nodded at him, "Okay!"
Clang clang clang!!!
At this moment, the lantern flower started emitting a clear bright light, and the countless white Meat People Bones in the chemical deep pool suddenly sprang to life, with muscles twitching and then began to madly climb up the walls towards Lin Xian.
Densely packed, they were like white, faceless zombies, dripping with moisture, some already rotting and swelling, their muscles beginning to dissolve.
"Damn it!"
Lin Xian swung his hand behind him, extending countless metal structures to create an irregular framework wall behind him, blocking those Meat People Bones zombies.
Yet those white Meat People Bones didn’t care at all, charging directly at him. Their bodies were torn apart by the metal framework, and numerous parasites burst forth from the muscular tissue, rapidly crawling towards Lin Xian!
Lin Xian ran fast, and at the distant doorway, a giant black tentacle swept over, destroying the iron door and walls.
Bang bang!
As the safety door was about to be sealed off, Lin Xian stomped hard and once again performed a Backflash.
Swoosh!
A flash of silver light, but after flying just a few meters, his figure was struck midair by the black tentacle and sent flying away.
Lin Xian only felt a moment of dizziness as if his body was falling apart, tumbling several rolls on the ground, almost breathless.
Rumble~
With a ringing in his ears muffling all sounds, in a daze, Lin Xian saw the already darkening sky and the towering white cooling tower, his organs trembling with pain. He tried to struggle to get up, his vision filled with two giant black tentacles continually stirring and thrashing about.
Drip drip~ drip drip.
The watch’s beeps sounded as if from far away, gradually becoming clear in Lin Xian’s mind.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, a tremendous force dragged him backward. Lin Xian looked up to see Shu Qin.
"Captain Lin!!"
She yelled, frantically firing her Remington M96 at the black tentacle.
The Roarer K23 Electric Revolving Gun in the building was also unleashing a torrent of fire, covering his escape.
Lin Xian’s consciousness gradually recovered. He surveyed his surroundings, saw KIKI escaping from inside, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quick, retreat!"
Lin Xian immediately rolled over and issued the retreat order.
Shu Qin fired while retreating, agilely climbed into the off-road vehicle, and continued to lay down cover fire. After the building fired an entire round of bullets, it also boarded the vehicle.
Lin Xian got on the motorcycle, had KIKI sit on the back seat, then immediately stepped on the accelerator. The motorcycle’s rear wheel spun wildly, raising a cloud of white smoke as they furiously burst out of the chemical plant.
