Chapter 9, fraught with traps
However, due to the relentless charge of two parasites, the not-so-thick rope finally snapped, forcing Lin Feng to crouch down and step into the terrifying restroom nearby
At this moment, Lin Feng remained exceptionally calm. As two parasites deliberately stepped onto the blanket laid on the ground, Lin Feng, with empty hands, grasped the blanket on the ground and pulled it forcefully, causing the two parasites on top to immediately fall to the ground
He recalled the blood diamond extracted from the heart of that robust parasite, which was approximately twice the size of the blood diamonds of that couple's parasites. He had originally thought that the robust parasite was merely stronger in life, which accounted for the size of the blood diamond. However, upon seeing the skeletal remains in the restroom, he could not help but entertain this thought; after all, no matter how strong one was in life, the difference in blood volume between humans could not possibly be so vast.
Lin Feng, who had not gained much, was about to leave the room, but when he saw the large hole in the door, he couldn't help but feel a surge of thoughts.
However, Lin Feng could not be certain whether they were truly dead, and only after decapitating them did he finally breathe a sigh of relief
It is now! Lin Feng stood not far away, and upon seeing the plan succeed, his face was filled with a fierce expression. He slashed at the rope beside him with a machete, and a large bed hanging from the ceiling of the room immediately fell freely, heavily crushing three of the parasites beneath it.
Amid Lin Feng's cold laughter, the machete swung again, accurately striking the neck of the parasite, and the head flew off once more
In the next moment, a large head flew up and fell heavily not far away, while Lin Feng was also splattered all over with the gushing black blood
The third floor is similar to the fourth floor, also divided into two rooms on the left and right. One of the rooms has its door tightly shut, while the other has a large hole, big enough for a person to exit, revealing the scene inside. This room is the one occupied by the strong parasite that nearly killed Lin Feng.
As for weapons, there is only a kitchen knife and a stainless steel pot lid, which are utterly useless
At that moment, another parasitic entity capable of movement had steadied itself, its dual claws swinging towards Lin Feng
The act of descending the stairs appeared particularly cautious, making no sound until reaching the third floor
However, before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the room. This made Lin Feng's heart tighten involuntarily, but the next moment he relaxed again, as there was only one sound of something hitting the floor. He figured it out; the entity from the opposite room must have entered. However, the timing of the door being broken was different from what he had anticipated, clearly much faster.
As soon as he reached this conclusion, Lin Feng felt a chill run through his entire body, as if a cold wind were continuously assaulting his mind and body, leaving him fearful, lost, and terrified
Lin Feng tightened his grip on the machete with his right hand, while his left hand held the stainless steel pot lid. He set aside his fears and entered a state of complete calmness, both physically and mentally
Two parasites collided on the power line, and electric sparks immediately wrapped around their bodies. Although they were corpses, they still contained a significant amount of black blood, most of which was composed of water. The consequence was that while they felt no pain, the magic insects controlling the corpses in their heads possessed biological pain perception. As a result, although the two parasites severed the power line, they fell to the ground and could not get up again, with the magic insects in their heads being directly electrocuted to death.
Lin Feng muttered to himself, then temporarily set aside that thought; for now, gathering supplies was the most important task.
Lin Feng cautiously entered the room through the large hole, observing the surroundings within.
However, what left him feeling helpless was that, perhaps due to the loud noise, there were also sounds of knocking on the door coming from the second floor, and the frequency was noticeably much greater, indicating that there was clearly more than one parasite. It seemed that Lin Feng had been careless, underestimating the hearing of the parasites, which had consequently startled even the parasites inside the second floor.
In the next moment, a knocking sound came from the room opposite. Upon hearing it, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile. Judging by the frequency, there should only be one parasite in the room across.
As for the other one, it was once again brought down to the ground by that rope and was easily dealt with by Lin Feng, who picked up the machete again.
Could it be that parasites can evolve by absorbing human blood
With significantly enhanced physical fitness, Lin Feng was naturally much quicker in setting up traps, and before long, he had completed the arrangement of all the traps he could set up
At this moment, Lin Feng was precisely in the stage where the new strength had departed and the old strength had yet to emerge. He had no time to evade; he barely lifted his left hand, and the pot lid just managed to block this strike. However, a tremendous force surged through his left hand, causing his body to involuntarily retreat two steps before he could barely stabilize himself
"Drink!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, and the force in his right hand involuntarily increased again, making the sound of cutting through bones exceptionally piercing
Five parasitic entities surged forward, and upon seeing Lin Feng's figure in the room, they became even more frenzied, as if they had encountered the most delectable feast, all rushing towards the room.
Before Lin Feng could steady himself, the parasite lunged forward again, rapidly closing the distance to Lin Feng
This room is usually inhabited by a young couple. In addition to the strong parasite that was killed by Lin Feng, there should be another woman present. However, Lin Feng did not find that woman in the room, which is why he was searching with his machete at the ready.
Then, sitting grandly on the sofa, he restored the energy he had just expended, waiting.
Alas, this woman seems not to have been invaded by the parasitic insect; rather, she is likely harmed by her husband, who has been transformed into a parasite. But why would the parasite consume this woman so thoroughly? Could it be!
Holding a stainless steel pot lid, I struck it a few times with a cleaver, and the lid immediately emitted a piercing metallic clanging sound
Suppressing an overwhelming feeling of nausea, Lin Feng averted his gaze from the restroom, speculating about the sequence of events that led to the accident, while simultaneously an absurd thought filled his mind
Amidst the splatter of black blood, the force exerted by Lin Feng caused the parasite to stagger sideways for two steps.
The battle that just occurred is complex to describe, but it lasted only a little over one minute. During this brief period, Lin Feng managed to eliminate all of them, yet he also expended a significant amount of energy, standing in the restroom and gasping for breath.
God bless, those parasites must not evolve, otherwise it would be dangerous
Damn it, then let's set a few more traps! We will deal with all of you at once, and that will be the end of it
However, due to Lin Feng's lack of training in swordsmanship and the nature of the combat being a mobile engagement, this strike merely landed on the shoulder of the parasitic entity
Hearing a cacophony of sounds coming from the second floor, Lin Feng cursed inwardly. He had intended to deal with each issue slowly, but who would have thought that such a mess would arise. With no other choice, he could only search once more in this room for usable items to set up a trap
Lin Feng once again used the pot lid to block, and this time, due to better preparation, his body only swayed slightly. The cleaver in his right hand, glinting with a cold light, was aimed directly at the neck of the parasite.
The restroom was in complete disarray, with bloodstains covering the pristine white walls. The floor was littered with various debris, but more prominently, there were cleanly gnawed white bones. A woman's skull, with only the skin of her face remaining, stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief, unable to close in death
Without giving Lin Feng much time to think, the figure of the parasite appeared at the entrance of the restroom. Its appearance was still similar to that of the other parasites, but it was clearly much stronger, nearly reaching a height of two meters, and was noticeably more robust than the strong parasite from the morning.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor leading from the second floor to the third floor. When Lin Feng saw the number of parasites through the hole, he couldn't help but be startled; there were as many as five parasites charging towards the room he was in
The provisions in the room are scarce; at most, they can sustain two people for a day or two. This makes Lin Feng lament the family's decline.
The two parasites quickly stood up from the ground, watching Lin Feng, who had run into the restroom, and continued to frantically attempt to rush into the restroom
Lin Feng just finished dealing with the second parasite when the three parasites that had been trapped under the large bed broke free one after another and charged towards him
In the next moment, the ground beneath them suddenly slipped, and the five parasites fell heavily to the ground
He took a bottle of cooking oil and poured it around the door, yet he intended to continue using the method from yesterday
It was precisely these two steps that allowed Lin Feng to extract the necessary time, turning and rushing into the room, jumping just in time. Behind him, the instinctive parasite had no way to mimic Lin Feng's movements and was tripped by a rope, falling to the ground.
However, these five parasites, due to their varying qualities in life, exhibited different speeds, resulting in a chaotic scene where each one rushed into the room, almost simultaneously stepping onto the area covered in cooking oil
The body lunged forward rapidly, the cold gleam of the machete in the right hand striking accurately at the neck of one of the parasitic entities attempting to rise.
However, while action is commendable, reality is stark. Lin Feng quickly donned a pair of prepared insulating gloves and pressed the light switch beside him. Instantly, a spark of electricity illuminated the doorway of the restroom, as he had tied a section of wire, stripped of its plastic casing, at the restroom entrance.
Until he reached the restroom door, Lin Feng merely glanced inside and was startled, his entire body and mind enveloped by a chill
