It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 652 Don’t be impulsive

Feng Ling was terrified, so she killed all the parasites in the park.

The ground was littered with body parts, but it wasn't bloody.

Because the parasite bleeds very little, the transparent liquid seeping from the limbs split open by the bone blade looks just like the juice that flows out when aloe vera is cut open.

In the past, the human-faced crows would have swarmed forward, but now they avoid them and land on the distant barbed wire fence to watch Feng Ling deal with the body parts.

"Since the third brother didn't absorb the flesh and blood of the parasite, I'm afraid you can't either," Ye Zheng reminded Feng Ling.

Having spent a long time with Feng Ling, Ye Zheng learned that the skills of the Mother Nest creations are divided into two types: one originates from card characteristics, and the other is inherited from Feng Ling. For example, both Feng Ling and the Third Brother can absorb energy from fresh flesh and blood.

Feng Ling crouched down to examine a piece of mangled corpse on the ground.

When these parasites were alive, their skin was covered with many roots, the same color as their skin. Now that she had cut them into pieces, even more roots sprouted from the cuts. They were translucent and had a texture like... well, like snail antennae, moving around as if groping for something in the air.

The tentacles kept moving slightly, but the corpse remained motionless.

Feng Ling compared the third-person perspective again and saw that there were still a few red dots, which meant that although she had cut the parasites here into pieces, some of the pieces were still alive.

Ye Zheng came to a piece of dismembered corpse, his face ashen, and stared at it for a long time.

"Have you discovered the pattern?" Ye Zheng asked.

“Big pieces live, small pieces die,” Feng Ling replied.

Ye Zheng gave her a speechless look.

“Isn’t that right?” Feng Ling looked again. “Then… the torso will live, the limbs will die.”

“The torso is indeed more active than the limbs, but I think the key is not the body parts, but the internal organs,” Ye Zheng said in a deep voice. “Look at the internal organs of these corpses, they look different from those of normal people.”

Feng Ling reached out to grab it, but Ye Zheng stopped her.

"Be careful of being parasitized," Ye Zheng warned, frowning.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Feng Ling spread her fingers, and a layer of fine silver-white scales grew out, covering every inch of her skin.

She moved swiftly, reaching in and pulling out a piece of liver, then a kidney.

The surface of the organ was covered by translucent tentacles, like a slippery worm. Some tentacles wriggled in Feng Ling's palm, while others, like snail antennae, stretched and searched in the air, perhaps choosing a new host.

"Disgusting as it may be, it doesn't seem very threatening, at least I don't feel threatened." Feng Ling threw away the entrails in her hand and swiftly made a few cuts with her bone blade.

The internal organs were chopped up, and the outstretched tentacles slowly withered and shriveled.

The red dot disappeared in the third-person perspective.

Ye Zheng shared the same feeling as Feng Ling: "These monsters have no fangs, no claws, no venom, and they don't seem to have any mind control skills. They're not fast, and their defense isn't high... The only thing that seems to pose a threat is their parasitism."

"Yeah, it was pretty scary when they were talking all at once, but it didn't cause us any real harm." Feng Ling said, puzzled. "If their only ability is parasitism, wouldn't it be enough for the residents to just run away and avoid contact with the monsters? How could it get so serious that an entire city has fallen?"

Ye Zheng looked at Feng Ling, "Is it possible that the parasitism isn't through contact, or that there are other methods besides contact?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment and looked at the Green Weasel.

The weasel holds up its phone: [No messages displayed.]

"Not even a name?" Feng Ling asked. Qingyou deleted the last few words and held up her phone again: [No.]

Feng Ling found it unbelievable; this was something that had never happened before. Even a low-level monster or a corrupted entity should have a name.

"Forget it, let's go check somewhere else." Feng Ling kicked away the pieces of corpse on the ground, pointed in a direction, and said, "Go over there, there are about forty of them there."

The industrial park is very large, with neatly arranged factory buildings and excellent landscaping. As Feng Ling and Ye Zheng walked along, the ground was lush and green, and even the leaves on the trees were exceptionally vibrant.

In the flowerbeds of the park ahead, marigolds were in full bloom, stretching out like a dense, golden-orange carpet. The dozens of parasites that Feng Ling saw from a third-person perspective were standing motionless in this sea of ​​flowers.

Every parasite's eyes were fixed on Feng Ling without exception.

As the feathered creatures moved to the left, their eyes turned to the left;

As the wind-feathered creatures moved to the right, their eyes turned to the right;

Feng Ling walked around the group of parasites, and walked and walked until she reached their backs. They then twisted their necks to look at her, their eyes darting to the side as if they wanted to burst out of their sockets and jump onto Feng Ling's face.

Feng Ling didn't intend to make a move. She originally wanted to observe this rare monster properly, but being stared at like this was really annoying. She couldn't help herself and rudely cursed at the parasites, "What are you looking at! If you look again, I'll gouge out all your eyes!"

Several tentacles emerged from the parasite's eyeballs, swaying slightly in the air, as if trying to capture information.

Just as Feng Ling was feeling puzzled, she saw the parasites retract their tentacles, and their faces began to undergo subtle changes. The expressions in their eyes and brows vaguely resembled hers.

"They're imitating you." Ye Zheng also noticed the changes in the parasites and frowned. "Could this be some kind of parasitic mechanism? Do you have to imitate first to successfully parasitize someone?"

In just a few words, the faces of those parasites had already begun to resemble Feng Ling by about 50%.

Unable to bear it any longer, Feng Ling suddenly lashed out with her bone blade! It swept forward, cleaving the nearest parasites in half at the waist!
"Disgusting!" Feng Ling cursed.

The parasite's face continued to change, and it now bore a six-tenths resemblance to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling no longer suppressed her killing intent, wielding her bone blade as if cutting vegetables! She relentlessly harvested the parasites among the flowers!

In less than half a minute, all the dozens of parasites collapsed.

The red dot did not disappear.

Feng Ling wanted to finish him off, but Ye Zheng stopped her.

"Don't be impulsive, look here." Ye Zheng gestured for her to observe the severed parasite.

Because the parasites were close together, after being split open by the wind feathers, their bodies piled up together, and the tentacles at the cuts were intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The upper half of a male corpse was glued to the lower half of a female corpse, and gradually fused together under the action of the tentacles.

Ye Zheng said, "They have a strong healing ability. Unless their internal organs are completely destroyed, they cannot be killed. This ability is somewhat similar to your card abilities."

Feng Ling was very unhappy. "My abilities aren't that disgusting."

Ye Zheng added, "You're too impulsive. The most important thing now is to figure out the parasitic mechanism. Otherwise, no matter how many monsters you kill, the threat will not be eliminated."

As the parasite on the ground healed, it looked at Ye Zheng. Its face, which originally resembled Feng Ling by about 60%, changed again. Its eyes became bloodshot, and downy hair grew on its forehead—making it look more and more like Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng was instantly jolted, raised his tiger claw and stomped down! The parasite's head was crushed to pieces!

Feng Ling fell silent.

After a long while, she looked at Ye Zheng and said, "You're such a hypocrite."
