Fear of food

Chapter 97 Chen Qi's Qualitative Change in Ability

With that one bite, Chen Qi found the feeling of feasting in the illusion he had back then!
Previously, in the laboratory illusion at Jinghai Medical College, he not only devoured the Nightmare with his mouth, but also survived the siege of a group of parasites and ultimately escaped unscathed.

That familiar feeling is back! And it's in real life!
Chen Qi suddenly realized that he might have already achieved a qualitative leap in his abilities!
Although he hadn't finished the candied hawthorn in his hand, with only half a fruit left, the amount of high-grade wild food he consumed this time actually exceeded the recommended limit.

Therefore, even without a full meal, he completed a qualitative change in his abilities ahead of schedule.

"It seems that after my ability underwent a qualitative change, it is similar to Coffee's ultimate move."

After consuming derivative food, Coffee can directly attack the Nightmare's main body.

After undergoing a qualitative change in his abilities, Chen Qi was able to directly bite and eat Nightmare Eaters!

Chen Qi's eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair, and he began to fight back frantically. He suddenly opened his mouth and bit Xia Huiyun's old face.

Xia Huiyun was horrified. Chen Qi had just bitten off half of her hand, and the excruciating pain went straight to her soul. Now, seeing Chen Qi rushing towards her with his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to swallow her head whole!
She suddenly threw Chen Qi away, and her body instantly swelled up, with several hands growing from her back, each holding a different medical instrument.

She hurled the medical instruments like projectiles—scalpels, tissue scissors, hemostatic forceps, probes… one after another, the medical instruments shot out and pierced Chen Qi’s body.

Chen Qi felt excruciating pain all over his body, and blood instantly stained his light-colored T-shirt, but he still rushed forward regardless and leaped towards Xia Huiyun.

Xia Huiyun dodged to the side, but this exposed the female student behind her to Chen Qi's attack range.

This female student was an old acquaintance; Chen Qi had bitten her shoulder in the illusion last time.

This time, Chen Qi tackled her to the ground, and before she could react, he bit her snow-white neck.

She cried out in pain as countless tiny tentacles, each the length of a finger, emerged from the bite wound on her neck.

What enoki mushrooms... Chen Qi plucked one off and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste was not bad, but I always felt that the delicate-skinned female college student's cooking was not as good as Xia Huiyun's old-fashioned dishes.

This is roughly the difference between an ordinary parasite and a domain-level parasite.

The female student kept resisting, and her body kept undergoing various mutations, but it was no use. When it grew tentacles, Chen Qi ate the tentacles; when it grew eyes, Chen Qi ate the eyes.

Eat wherever there's an anomaly, since everything you eat is energy!

After a few bites, he suddenly realized that the wounds Xia Huiyun had inflicted on his body no longer hurt.

As he swallowed the abnormal substance, he pulled out the scissors, probes, and other objects stuck in his body one by one, and the wounds quickly stopped bleeding and healed.

The female student in Chen Qi's hands, despite Chen Qi only constantly nibbling at the various abnormalities growing on her body without causing any harm to her original body, was visibly weakening.

All of this seemed to happen slowly, but in reality it happened in just a moment. Chen Qi was still clutching more than half of the candied hawthorn in his hand, not because he couldn't finish it, but because he was waiting.

Wait for the food protection team to get closer!

Feeling the ground tremble, and seeing the surrounding food guards rapidly approaching like a horde of beasts, Chen Qi finally took another bite of the candied hawthorn.

Now, only a small bite remained of the candied hawthorn in his hand. Chen Qi didn't eat it; instead, he put it in his pocket.

Now is not the time. Once the candied hawthorns are eaten, the food protection squad will disperse, and he needs these food protection squads!
At this moment, Xia Huiyun suddenly turned around and appeared in Chen Qi's hand with a large syringe that he recognized.

Or perhaps hers is the real syringe, while what Chen Qi received before was just a fake, a contaminant disguised as a syringe.

Just as Xia Huiyun raised the syringe to inject, Chen Qi grabbed the female student and rolled over, using her body to block the needle.

Xia Huiyun stretched out several slender, twisted arms from behind and lifted Chen Qi and the female student up together.

Chen Qi casually tossed aside the motionless female student in his arms, grabbed Xia Huiyun's twisted, grotesque hand, and started biting it. After a few bites, Xia Huiyun cried out in pain and released him.

But Chen Qi persisted and lunged at Xia Huiyun again.

Xia Huiyun pulled out the syringe and was about to give Chen Qi an injection when Chen Qi bit down on the syringe first!
Crunch!

He bit a hole in the large syringe.

Chen Qi guessed correctly; this large syringe was indeed part of Xia Huiyun's collection!

Crunch!

Chen Qi opened and closed his jaws rapidly, biting the large syringe in two in just a few bites.

He then turned his attention to Xia Huiyun, who was quite large, and climbed on her body, quickly getting behind her.

"I eat!"

Xia Huiyun had eight strange, tentacle-like arms growing from her back. Chen Qi grabbed one and started gnawing on it like a grilled squid.

With one bite, he severed one of the tentacles, causing Xia Huiyun to fly into a rage, and the other arms began to grab at Chen Qi.

Those long, thin fingernails were like blades, carving deep, bone-revealing cuts into Chen Qi's body.

Chen Qi ignored everything, seemingly oblivious to the pain, his eyes filled only with madness!
His injuries could be healed with just a couple of bites.

Injured, eat, recover, injured again, eat again, recover again...

He can sustain his war effort through war. As long as he keeps talking, he doesn't need to worry about his injuries, as long as he's not afraid of pain!

After all that has happened recently, physical pain is no longer unbearable for him.

Before long, Chen Qi bit off all eight arms on Xia Huiyun's back and attacked the old nurse's head.

Xia Huiyun suddenly lowered her head, turning it 180 degrees, and said with a pained expression, "If you kill me, she will die too. She is innocent!" Chen Qi knew that she was referring to the real Xia Huiyun, the host who had been parasitized.

"Then die!"

Chen Qi tore off one of her arms in one swift motion.

However, at this moment, all the other parasites also surrounded him. The head of teaching, Bian Zihan, the dermatologist... one after another, the domain-level parasites surrounded Chen Qituan.

The head of the teaching department pulled Chen Qi off Xia Huiyun.

"You want to replace her?" Chen Qi's eyes turned cold as he changed his target and ripped off half of the dean's arm.

"Stop eating!" The Nightmare's voice rang out after a long absence. "Look at the state you've become! I can't take any more eating."

Chen Qi was stunned. Before he could even take a good look at himself, he felt the ground tremble violently.

The surging food-protecting squad has finally arrived!

They rushed towards Chen Qi, who was surrounded, with ferocious expressions and eyes filled with urgency and hatred, as if they wanted to cut open Chen Qi's stomach and take out the candied hawthorn.

"almost……"

Chen Qi put the cookie with the funny face he had prepared into his mouth.

The next moment, in Chen Qi's eyes, an arrow appeared above the heads of all the food protectors around him.

To Chen Qi's surprise, some of the parasites surrounding him also had arrow symbols above their heads.

Chen Qi had only used the ability of the Grimace Cookie once before, and that was at the vegetable market.

At that time, arrow symbols appeared above the heads of everyone in the market, including the dogs, and even the pig-headed babies summoned by the butcher were no exception.

But the butcher himself didn't have an arrow above his head.

Therefore, Chen Qi always believed that the ability to control appetite was ineffective against parasites.

But it now appears that it is only ineffective against domain-level parasites!
"Go!"

"Eat it!"

With a thought, Chen Qi pulled the arrows above the heads of the food protectors, pointing them at all the parasites.

The arrows above the heads of those ordinary parasites were then pointed at the domain-level parasites.

As a result, all the food protectors who had come for Chen Qi changed their targets.

The next moment, Xia Huiyun and the others were immediately engulfed by the surging crowd.

Chen Qi then took out the last small piece of candied hawthorn and ate it slowly.
-
the other side……

The four—Zhuifeng, Dabing, Ganshui, and Zhachuan—are locked in a fierce battle with the invisible monster, or rather, they are being unilaterally tormented.

In a situation where one is unarmed, only fried skewers have any fighting power.

The fried potato skewer pulled a skewer of fried potatoes from his pocket and ate it. Then he rushed over and placed his hands on the invisible monster, and a sizzling sound of frying filled the air.

A meaty aroma quickly wafted out.

When he removed his hand, two handprints were left on the invisible monster's body, covered with dense, large blisters, its skin scalded by the explosion.

This is the "deep-fried hands" skill that I mastered after a qualitative leap in my frying skills.

I've only ever seen people go into a frying pan with their bare hands, I've never seen anyone have a frying pan growing on their hands.

It was precisely because of their deep-frying skills that Zhui Feng and the others were able to barely hold out against the invisible monster until now.

bang bang...

A burst of gunfire rang out, and Xu An'an, along with Jinmao, arrived at some point and fired several shots at the invisible monster.

Zhui Feng asked in surprise, "How do you still have bullets?"

Xu An'an pointed to the ramen not far away: "I took it from him."

While others were busy fighting, Xu An'an somehow slipped to the side of Ramen, who was wrapped in a cocoon of flesh, rescued him, and took the ammunition from Ramen's body.

With Xu An'an's firepower support, they temporarily forced back the invisible monster.

The group huddled together, looking at the densely packed crowd not far away and Chen Qi running towards them, their faces showing astonishment and worry.

"Is Biscuit... alright?"

"He doesn't look like he's alright."

Xu An'an instinctively raised her gun and pointed it at Chen Qi.

Because at this moment, Chen Qi looks... a little inhuman!
A third hand grew from his shoulder, and there was a faint bulge on his right shoulder, as if something was about to break through the skin and emerge.

On his back, strands of flesh and blood intertwined like vines, vaguely forming the outline of a human torso.

"Judging from his appearance, it looks like someone is about to grow out from behind him?"
