Chapter 5, Scissors Cut Off the Head

A rough, large hand covered in sharp black nails suddenly reached in, startling Lin Feng, who instinctively swung the iron hammer down with force.

The headless monster has just fallen, and the other two monsters outside suddenly stop their movements, unsure whether it is the black worms in their heads feeling fear or a sense of sorrow for the fallen.

A grotesque head flew up and fell into the room, while a foul-smelling black blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck, splattering onto the floor of the room

Ah!

In the midst of this process, before long, a small hole barely large enough to accommodate a hand was knocked open in the middle of the door.

He reached out to pick up a medium-sized iron hammer, weighed it in his hand, and realized that this hammer, which probably weighed around 10 pounds, felt as light as a feather in his grasp, effortlessly.

Lin Feng shook his head, realizing that now was not the time to think about such matters; it was better to find a way to deal with the three monsters outside first

The sound of tinkling began to emanate from the iron door, blending with the monstrous knocks from outside, as if performing a symphony that echoed in the enclosed room, rousing Lin Qingya, who was lying on the bed, from her dazed state, her vacant eyes fixed on Lin Feng's strange actions

The door, covered in iron sheets, was quickly breached with a small hole the size of a thumb. Lin Feng did not stop; he continued to strike, increasing the size of the small hole. During this process, although the monster at the door was occasionally able to grasp the iron spike, it was difficult to hold on under the increasing force exerted by Lin Feng.

Looking at this pile of various tools, Lin Feng rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought, contemplating various methods

Click!

I never expected that overnight, my strength would increase so much; it seems that I can easily lift even a hundred pounds of weight

Lin Feng vaguely remembers that this family of three were migrant workers in Wencheng. Although their life was impoverished, they were kind and hospitable. Whenever Lin Feng encountered a problem he couldn't solve alone, they would come to help. As for their daughter, she was usually very well-behaved and adorable, often calling him Uncle Lin. Yet, this family of three fell victim to those vile creatures, which not only saddened Lin Feng but also filled him with endless disgust and murderous intent towards those grotesque black insects.

The sound of bones breaking echoed, and that rough arm fell limply, lying askew.

Lin Qingya is, after all, just a girl who has not seen much of the world; her courage and adaptability naturally cannot compare to Lin Feng's. Thus, upon seeing the bloodied head that had fallen by the bed, she screamed in fright. In fact, her capacity to endure is already quite commendable; had it been another girl, she might have fainted dead away at the sight of such a scene.

We have it, let's use this method for the time being! I hope it will be successful!

He also did not know why he had become this way; perhaps it was because Lin Qingya was too important to him, and perhaps it was another change following his own transformation. He could only speculate in this manner

Uncle Fu seems to be doing temporary work, and there are indeed many tools here

However, now that Lin Qingya has a high fever and is unable to move, how could he abandon her and escape alone? It is precisely for this reason that Lin Feng suppresses the fear in his heart and carefully examines the room that originally belonged to Uncle Fu

Lin Feng set down the hammer and the iron awl in his hand, and picked up the large scissors from the pile of tools.

A variety of methods surged in my mind, and suddenly a spark of inspiration struck me, as my eyes fixated on a small pile of hammers and chisels of various colors

The headless monster outside the door slowly collapsed in the next moment, tumbling down the stairs behind it, black blood splattering everywhere in the hallway.

From this indication, it seems that the black worms controlling human bodies truly possess only biological instincts, lacking intelligence, much like the zombies in the Biohazard series of films, albeit the individuals are evidently stronger and more agile.

The switch for the metal door was opened quickly, and the next moment, the door was immediately knocked open by a monster. However, due to the obstruction of the sofa, the door only opened about ten centimeters.

Holding the largest hammer in his right hand and a thick iron awl approximately twenty centimeters long in his left, Lin Feng arrived at the door. He assessed the metal door and placed the awl on a severely bulging spot. Raising the hammer in his right hand, he struck down forcefully onto the awl.

However, even if the monster transformed from the little girl remains intact, its strength is relatively much weaker than that of the other two monsters as depicted in the *book*, so it is not to be feared

As before, Lin Feng continued to use the hammer to smash the bones in his arm. He struck only four times, and no hand reached in again. As for the hands of the little girl monster, due to the height issue, they could not reach in at all, which left Lin Feng feeling helpless

I am just an ordinary person; it is better to prioritize preserving my life for now. As for dealing with these dark creatures, that responsibility naturally falls to the military. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the state maintaining them in peacetime!

"Qingya, are you alright?" Lin Feng threw down the bloodied scissors in his hand, approached the bedside, and asked softly with concern.

Uncle Fu's room is not large, but it contains quite a number of tools that can serve as weapons. Just the various hoes, sickles, and hammers used for planting crops amount to several, in addition to a pair of large pruning shears specifically designed for landscaping, which can easily sever a head with a single snip.

Qingya, do not look!" Thinking of the upcoming scene being extremely bloody, Lin Feng hurriedly said to Lin Qingya

With a snap, he exclaimed, "Cut off your head!" echoing the signature line of the Nanhai Crocodile God from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils." Lin Feng relieved his psychological pressure as he opened the large scissors in his hands wide, aiming them at that head and exerting all his strength for a decisive cut

If it were not for Lin Qingya being bedridden due to her own reasons, he might have actually taken Lin Qingya out of this room, finding a way to avoid the three monsters outside.

Lin Feng watched as Lin Qingya burrowed into the quilt. The smile that had been on his face instantly turned icy cold, and a sense of chilling severity surged into his heart

At the entrance stood a couple in their thirties and a little girl of about seven or eight years old. The facial features of the three were strikingly similar to the monstrous transformation that Uncle Fu had undergone earlier. It appeared that their bodies were also entirely controlled by that disgusting black insect.

Feeling the power that seemed to have increased out of nowhere overnight, Lin Feng's confidence grew significantly, and his assurance in dealing with the three monsters outside also increased considerably

After completing these tasks, I picked up the sickle used for cutting straw from the tools, adjusted it casually, and realized that in this room, this weapon would be the most advantageous for direct combat.

Lin Feng smiled as he continued to enlarge the opening with a hammer and a chisel, until it was as large as a human head.

I am fine! Just be careful, safety is paramount!" Lin Qingya calmed her rapidly beating heart, revealing a faint forced smile on her face

It was only a short while later that the two monsters continued to pound on the door. To Lin Feng's surprise, another female monster, tall enough, did not extend her head further into the large hole in the door, which made Lin Feng even more vigilant towards these creatures

Lin Qingya nodded slightly, saying nothing, but still used the quilt to block the view at the door

Approaching the door, Lin Feng pushed the only old sofa in the room behind the door, leaving approximately ten centimeters of space between the door and the bookshelf.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed in the room. Lin Feng hurriedly turned around and saw Lin Qingya tightly covering her eyes with her hands, her originally pale face becoming even more ghostly white

The sound of intense knocking continued to come from the door. Lin Feng peered through the gap and saw that the two monsters with broken arms were frantically banging their heads and feet against it. Even though their heads were bloodied and broken, they did not stop. This further deepened Lin Feng's understanding of the monsters.

Lin Qingya nodded slightly, obediently burrowing her head into the quilt. However, the scene she had just witnessed kept surfacing in her mind, causing her already slightly cold body to tremble even more.

Indeed, just after completing these tasks, a grotesque head barely squeezed into the opening. It watched Lin Feng in front, constantly baring its teeth, with a yellow, inexplicable liquid dripping incessantly from its gaping mouth, sending chills down one's spine

Lin Feng suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and then he picked up the largest iron hammer. This hammer weighed approximately 20 pounds and had a very thick handle, yet Lin Feng was still able to lift it with ease; its weight was just about sufficient.

However, in the next moment, that arm was withdrawn, presumably because the monster had retreated and pulled its arm back. Then, another arm, clearly belonging to a female, reached in again, continuously grasping in front of Lin Feng, attempting to seize him.

You can still burrow into the covers; this way, you won't see anything. Rest assured, everything is under my control

With a subconscious closing of the eyes, a tremendous resistance was felt in the hands, prompting them to press together even more forcefully.
