Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

When "Pink Bone Flower" comes into contact with parasites, it increases the activity of the parasites and accelerates their parasitic growth.

However, this substance is extremely rare, and one or two ordinary flowers have virtually no effect.

Wildflowers are rarely found in large patches, so the authorities didn't notice this situation at first.

They only realized something was wrong after the old lady's incident.

There were too many baby caterpillars in her house, which affected the parasites in the house, causing them to become more active.

The old lady became the first victim.

And the "Girl's Heart" perfume was launched just these past few days.

Its main ingredient is a unique extract.

The rate at which the parasite takes effect varies slightly depending on the individual's physical condition.

People who wear perfume are practically offering food to parasites.

Unfortunately, in order to increase brand awareness and expand the market, this company hired many people to do promotion.

Two-thirds of the residents of Anqiu City received perfume from their people.

By the time the authorities contacted the company and tried to control the situation, it was too late.

The fact that the fog is a parasite is a secret that top officials around the world must keep hidden.

They can't possibly announce it now.

Therefore, the only option was to secretly begin arresting these parasitized individuals while simultaneously controlling public opinion.

Players discovered that Anqiu City was surrounded by the army.

They are not allowed to enter or leave the city.

However, the news was blocked, so the NPCs in the city were unaware of it.

……

Players didn't find it strange that the official team did this, and they were used to it.

Now that we know the specifics, all we need to do is ensure we don't get infected in the remaining time to pass the level smoothly.

Shi Jinwei expressed her gratitude to the players who provided the information and invited her to the group.

Then another question was asked: "How do people infected by parasites transmit the virus to healthy individuals? Is it through their tongues?"

"Yes, but we can't be sure if there are any exceptions after they were infected," someone replied.

She immediately pressed for an explanation.

Other players were also curious and immediately typed a row of question marks.

This person didn't hide anything.

He works in research in the real world, so he knows more about these things than the average person.

Based on his observations, the fact that these parasites can control humans to attack normal NPCs indicates that they possess a certain level of intelligence.

What would happen if it grew to the point where it could think, hide itself, and blend into the NPCs?

It was precisely because of this situation that the authorities immediately locked down Anqiu City.

They also sent people to destroy the "Pink Bone" perfume and recycle the perfume.

However, it will take time to bring this situation under control.

This gives the parasite time to grow.

After he finished explaining, the group fell silent as everyone digested the information.

No one would doubt this person's explanation.

Because of the hidden acceleration, it is indeed impossible to deduce it using common sense.

Shi Jinwei was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, the sound of running came from outside the room.

The group talked as they ran: "Hurry, hurry, or we won't be able to see it anymore!"

"You just said you had something to do, but what is it?!"

"There's a woman downstairs who's gone crazy. She's spraying perfume on everyone she meets. Someone insulted her, and she threw the perfume at that person's face, and a fight broke out."

"Wow, really? That's amazing! Hurry, hurry, I want to see it too!"

They were very loud, and everyone in the room could hear them.

Several people from other rooms also came out.

Shi Jinwei had an idea. She sent the message to the group and took out the drone from her personal space.

Her room was very close to the stairs, and controlling the drone to go down the stairs was much safer than her going down herself.

A short while later, the drone transmitted the situation downstairs.

The scene that caught her eye sent chills down her spine.

Without hesitation, she started a video call in the group.

The drone live stream footage was directly sent to the group chat.

The players, confused, clicked on the link and were immediately taken aback.

"No way!"

"Where is this?"

"It's terrifying, it looks like a zombie."

"How disgusting."

……

Various chat logs flooded the screen.

The next second, the live stream was shut down, and all residents of Anqiu City simultaneously discovered that their internet was unusable.

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.

But the players all knew in their hearts that the official team had finally made a move.

On the other hand, Shi Jinwei was alright; even though the network was down, she could still control things remotely with a remote control.

It's just that the distance isn't as far as before.

She had no interest in the internet at that moment; she was just staring intently at the screen.

The footage shows chaos on the eleventh floor.

A group of people with long, protruding tongues are attacking ordinary NPCs.

People screamed in terror and tried to run away.

However, the stairwell and elevator entrance were blocked by the parasites.

The saliva on their tongues combines with the unique substance in the "pink buds" to become a new catalyst.

By wrapping their tongues around others, saliva enters the body through the skin.

New parasites were soon born.

One second people are screaming in terror, the next they become parasites with empty eyes.

They began searching for healthy people who had not been infected.

In addition, there are some players with higher immunity who, before being successfully parasitized, will be able to survive.

They were then firmly imprisoned by the other parasites.

It was only released after it had successfully become a parasite.

As for those who came to watch the spectacle, they were entangled by the parasites as soon as they stepped out of the elevator or stairwell.

Their teamwork was remarkably seamless.

It is precisely this tacit understanding that makes people feel uneasy.

As she was preparing to retrieve the drone, a parasite suddenly looked up.

I was stunned when I spotted the drone hovering overhead.

Then a long tongue stretched out, trying to shoot down the drone.

Shi Jinwei quickly controlled the drone to leave.

As if they had been notified, the other parasites all looked up.

His eyes were blankly fixed on the drone.

Several tongues flew out, their target the drone trying to escape.

However, the new parasites' tongues are not very long, so they can't reach the drone.

We could only watch it leave, filled with resentment.

After Shi Jinwei brought the drone back, she immediately opened the door and walked outside.

This hotel will only have more and more parasites in the future; it's not safe to stay here at all.

The elevator was locked, so she had to take the stairs.

When the drone returned, there weren't many people around.

There are many people screaming and running upstairs in the stairwell.

She immediately turned around and hid back in her room.

Upon hearing a noise in the corridor, I immediately turned on the surveillance camera.

I noticed two boys running frantically forward outside.

The next second, two long tongues took them under control.

The two boys struggled and shouted, but to no avail.

The cries soon ceased, and when the tongue released them, they became the new parasites.

If they stay here, they will eventually be besieged by hundreds or thousands of parasites.

We need to move to another place immediately.

Thinking this, she activated her invisibility and opened the door.

The four parasites outside the door all looked over.

Two of them had their tongues dragging on the ground, their tongue tips twitching as if they were sniffing something.

Even if they know they can't find them while they're invisible.

She held her breath and carefully walked along the base of the wall.
