Chapter 10: A Narrow Escape from Death

With the empty right hand pressing against the edge of the pot lid, both hands exerted force together, while shouting loudly, they desperately pushed forward

Lin Qingya raised her head, revealing a determined expression as she said, although the previous scene was extremely disgusting and made her stomach feel very uncomfortable, this time she forcibly suppressed her nausea and began to actively adapt to this bloody spectacle

Amidst the splatter of blood, the parasitic entity swung its left claw, leaving five deep gashes on Lin Feng's right arm. Blood instantly soaked Lin Feng's right arm, and a sharp pain surged from his hand.

Just after completing all of this, there came a loud knocking on the door, filling the room with a series of thuds, simultaneously waking Lin Qingya, who had fallen into a deep sleep in the room

Drink! As the body lunges forward, the left hand lifts the pot lid, slightly turning to collide with the robust parasite that has already entered the restroom

Lin Feng, are you alright

A sound of metal clashing echoed, produced by the long claws and the blade of the strong parasite's left paw colliding, igniting a spark. Although the blade was sharp, it only penetrated slightly.

This small bone not only allowed Lin Feng to evade the attack of the parasite, but also caused the parasite to lose its footing. With Lin Feng's renewed effort, he pushed it away from the restroom

A dull sound emerged. Although Lin Feng had the upper hand in strength due to the parasite being in a forward thrust state, at this moment, they were evenly matched, showing no signs of retreat.

Lin Feng, you come here, or let me do it!

Roar! The strong parasite had disgusting yellow liquid dripping from the corners of its mouth, along with a book-like body. It opened its mouth and let out a roar, lunging at Lin Feng in a clawing manner.

It's fine, I can manage on my own. You'd better cover your head; it might get a bit bloody later!

Huffing and puffing, Lin Feng did not dare to look back. With each step, he could ascend several flights of stairs; this was already the maximum speed he could achieve.

Thus, the best opportunity to break out of the restroom has vanished, and the exit is blocked by a strong parasite.

Go to hell! Lin Feng raised the hammer with both hands and brought it down heavily on the head that was swaying in front of him.

Due to the absence of pain perception and seemingly endless stamina, the robust parasite attacks with remarkable frequency, its dual claws creating dazzling afterimages. Its repulsive head frequently lunges at Lin Feng with biting motions.

However, the speed of the strong parasite behind was clearly not slow either, with its blood-red eyes closely following Lin Feng, making it nearly impossible to increase the distance between them. If there were any missteps, it was very likely that it would catch up.

Hmm! I understand your thoughts, but I cannot always remain under your protection. At times like this, I would prefer to be your assistant

Lin Feng felt extremely frustrated and was about to draw the machete from the cabinet. However, at that moment, the strong parasite launched another attack, targeting Lin Feng's head with its left claw. This forced Lin Feng to release his grip on the machete with his right hand and take a step back to evade the parasite's assault

A wave of fatigue washed over Lin Feng's body. Although he had not spent much time, a single misstep could lead to an irretrievable situation at m.hetushu.com. This compelled Lin Feng to remain calm and strategize during the battle, resulting in his feeling of fatigue only after the fight had concluded

Bang

Get lost! Lin Feng took a deep breath of cold air, steeled himself once more, lifted the pot lid with his left hand, and pressed it against the strong parasite's right claw that was the first to strike. He swung the cleaver in a fluid motion, aiming for the other left claw.

"Lin Feng, what happened?" Hearing the knocking sound from outside, Lin Qingya was momentarily confused but soon recalled the identity of the unexpected visitor outside, wanting to pull back the quilt and come out to help

A dull knocking sound echoed, causing the parasite's head to involuntarily droop and collide against one side of the metal door

At this moment, the robust parasite outside had forcibly broken open the large hole that had been made at noon, with its fierce head being the first to penetrate inside, baring its teeth at Lin Feng in a particularly menacing manner

Get lost! With veins bulging on both hands, Lin Feng's face appeared exceptionally ferocious. With a loud roar, a surge of strength erupted from his arms, barely pushing the parasitic entity in front of him away. Since they were in a corridor, the parasitic entity was forcefully sent tumbling down the stairs, which provided Lin Feng with enough time to escape.

Hmm! Your high fever hasn't subsided yet, so you should lie back down in bed. I can handle this minor injury myself.

Lin Feng felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, tightening his grip on the knife in his right hand, forcibly suppressing the tension within him

Fortunately, we won

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Feng, who had escaped from danger, rushed towards the door of the room. Meanwhile, the strong parasitic entity instantly crawled up from the ground, letting out a reluctant roar as it chased after Lin Feng, who had already fled several meters away.

Lin Feng instinctively grasped the handrail beside him, releasing the force of his forward momentum. Seeing the parasite fall onto the fourth-floor corridor, he felt a sense of relief and immediately turned to run towards the room on the fifth floor

However, even so, Lin Feng's emotions remained as calm as before. With a powerful swing of his right hand, he barely pushed aside the left claw, raising the machete high, intending to bring it down once more

At this moment, Lin Qingya finally noticed the wound on Lin Feng's right arm. It was not that she was inattentive, but rather that Lin Feng was covered in blood. If his right arm had not been stained bright red with fresh blood, it would have been quite difficult to detect this wound.

Bang

Lin Feng fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded. Although he had always wanted to protect Lin Qingya and ensure she faced no grievances, he also understood that in the apocalypse, if he were to lose his protection, Lin Qingya would have little chance of survival. Now, the only option was to let her adapt to this situation first, in order to increase her chances of survival, especially in the event of his own misfortune

Bang

A warm voice suddenly came from behind, prompting Lin Feng to turn his head, only to see Lin Qingya already dressed and standing behind him

"Elegant, did you just see that?"

Lin Feng did not look back, casually picked up the enormous iron hammer from the ground, and approached the door

As the door was slammed shut, Lin Feng breathed heavily, repeatedly locking the door to prevent the exceptionally strong parasite from easily breaking in.

However, what he did not expect was that due to the small size of the restroom, the raised machete unexpectedly struck the exceptionally smooth tiles above, causing a significant deviation in the direction of the machete's descent. Not only did it fail to hit the parasite, but it also unfortunately struck the wooden cabinet beside it.

Crotch

After finishing the cleaning, he walked out of the bathroom naked, picking up a roll of white bandage to prepare to bind his wounds

The hammer in hand continued to fall, striking accurately on the body of the magic insect, crushing it to pieces. Although the corpse controlled by this magic insect was powerful, it remained incredibly fragile in itself

However, at this moment, Lin Feng remained unflustered; instead, he became extremely calm, so calm that his mind was able to think at an exceptionally rapid pace.

It's over!

Lin Feng never expected that the nails on the strong parasite's hands were so hard, almost reaching the hardness of ordinary steel

What shocked Lin Feng was that although his full-force impact had the upper hand, it only managed to push the robust parasite back by a single step, which was a significant deviation from his expectations

This is bad! The strength of this parasite is likely comparable to that of the one from this morning. No, this restroom is too cramped; it is difficult to wield a blade here.

Lin Feng was acutely aware that the current situation was extremely perilous, as the parasite blocked the only exit from the restroom, leaving him with no chance to escape. Furthermore, with the machete stuck to the side, he had no choice but to fight desperately

This roll of bandage was also found in Uncle Fu's room, presumably prepared specifically for the injuries he often sustained while doing odd jobs. There is no other way; for a handyman like Uncle Fu, frequent injuries are inevitable. With his meager salary, he cannot afford the high medical expenses of a hospital, so he can only rely on himself.

At this moment, Lin Qingya's gentle voice came from the side, carrying a hint of shyness, but more importantly, it was filled with determination

Lin Feng gripped the pot lid tightly with his left hand, desperately trying to block the attacks. Although he managed to deflect most of the onslaught, the continuous blocking soon caused his left hand to go numb, and cold sweat soaked his back

Just as Lin Feng stepped onto the stairs leading to the fifth floor, his body, moving rapidly forward, suddenly came to a halt. With both hands holding a pot lid, he turned around and forcefully charged at the strong parasite that was falling behind him.

How did you get hurt? Quickly bandage it up

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he went directly to the nearby restroom, stripped off all his clothes, and, enduring the excruciating pain, carefully cleaned the wounds on his body, fearing that bacteria would infect the injuries

Lin Feng did not let go of the thought of mercilessly beating a drowning dog. He was well aware that if he did not sever the head of the parasite, it could not be considered as having killed the parasite at all. Therefore, the iron hammer in his hand continued to swing, landing heavily on the monster's head time and again, as black blood splattered wildly, until he completely smashed open the back of its head, revealing the magic worm controlling the corpse inside.

The death of the magic worm rendered the parasite motionless, leaning crookedly against the door. Lin Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Ding

The pot lid struck heavily against the robust parasite, the tremendous impact causing the robust parasite to be pushed backward. However, it did not cease its attack; the left claw struck again. In this critical moment, Lin Feng gently kicked his right leg forward, and a bone on the ground rolled just in time under the retreating left foot of the robust parasite, causing its body balance to shift suddenly. The descending left claw narrowly grazed Lin Feng's right arm.
