Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

However, in front of the self who holds absolute dominance, these chaotic consciousnesses can only be suppressed, and they let out interlaced wails.

"......The nightmare is over, rest in peace."

He suppressed the chaotic collection of consciousness with some regret. It was already too late to save it. It was almost impossible for these consciousnesses to return to normal.

If I had acted earlier, perhaps I could have prevented all this from happening, but there are no ifs.

At this moment, all Zuo Jian can do is to erase them from this body one by one, or in other words, liberate them.

But then, he discovered something special.

"Leko and... Quintus?!"

Left room stunned

Wait, how did this guy at the back get swallowed? ?

If he remembered correctly, shouldn't Quintus have died directly in the cave with Hai Si?

After thinking for a moment, he began to read the subconscious of this body.

Tracking, blood

Devour....Done....

Tracking... there are still.... missing...

Recycle....

ha?

Wait, the three dogs went back to the cave they left at the beginning, and picked up the shriveled body of Quintus that had died there, which was also left ashes after he burned it before leaving?

Also, after Quintus was contaminated by the assimilation of flesh and blood, I didn't leave him much nutrients to survive. He simply withered and died. In addition, after being slowly roasted over a high fire, he was almost reduced to ash. How could he be absorbed back?

What kind of exaggerated vitality is this?

Forehead....

what......

He looked down and found that two hideous faces suddenly appeared on his arms.

The faces of Quintus and Lyco reappeared in his body.

They moved their mouths and let out bursts of wailing.

Obviously, the state of being assimilated by themselves along with their consciousness made them live a life worse than death.

Zuo Jian just watched the two faces on his wrists wailing continuously, while at the same time erasing the consciousness of other innocent people one by one.

Soon, the only thing left in the body was the consciousness of the two people in front of him.

Do you want to help them get rid of it?

The expressions on the two faces became more and more painful, and scarlet liquid flowed out of their empty eye sockets like tears.

They have paid the price with their lives...

So......

There was some silence in Zuo Jian. His blue eye looked at the two faces of Quintus and Lyco, and then he placed his other hand on them, as if he really wanted to close his eyes for them.

............

......

The blue gemstone brooch is like a calm sea, with the afterglow of the setting sun casting a light golden glow on it.

Through it, Zuo Jian saw Laurentina holding Anita's pitifully thin hand. Anita was still chattering away, but Laurentina seemed to have gotten used to talking to the child.

......

...

..

"relief.......?"

Below the single eye, the bloody mouth opened and let out a low roar.

"Paid his life....as a price????"

The palm that had originally turned into a closed eye on Zuo Jian suddenly cracked, and two sharp claws directly pierced into the eye sockets of the two faces that were still wailing!

More blood spurted out of their eye sockets!

"You two scumbags, bastards, and beasts are going to take your lives to offset the lives of those innocent men, women, old people, and children who were tortured to death by so-called experiments?"

"For one's own selfish desires, one tramples on the lives of others wantonly, and yet claims to be superior to others."

That beautiful blue eye was now as dull as the lusterless Dead Sea that could swallow everything.

"Liberation? Are you worthy?"

"This body, created by greed and the flesh and blood of many innocent people, will be a prison built by your own hands."

As Zuo Jian spoke, his face, with only his pupils, showed no expression.

But the next moment, Laurentina's call rang out again.

"Left room?"

[I'm here, what's wrong?]

His voice was still gentle, as if those fierce words just now did not come from his mouth.

Chapter 29, Food

While responding to Laurentina, Zuo Jian retracted the two hideous faces on his body into his body.

He has more important things to figure out.

First of all, according to what Laurentina said, the inhabitants of this world are divided into many different races, and they differ in their physiological structure and environmental tolerance.

Not to mention the various aspects such as culture that are influenced by the growing environment.

Just like Laurentina had no doubts when she discovered that the residents of this place called Saltwind City had a difficult life.

She is not from the mainland, so she can't find some obvious problems

From any perspective, the coastal areas, which previously had “city”

There is no way that a human settlement in a district could be so poor.

Also, the houses on the street are almost all solid concrete structures.

A quasi-industrial byproduct that can be found in garbage dumps in corners from time to time.

Being near the sea itself is like having a treasure mine.

Even if we don't develop agriculture, it would be impossible to get into this state just by relying on the regional characteristics and the resources on the seabed.

.....

why?

He walked to the shore and watched the sunset about to be swallowed up by the infinite blue.

Zuo Jian raised his hand.

The flesh on the arm squirmed, and then a pair of wings separated from the muscle structure as if breaking out of a cocoon and being reborn.

A red bird appeared on his arm, then separated from its body and flew towards the ocean.

Then, it transformed into a fish in mid-air and splashed into the water.

......

...

.

"?"

"What... is going on?"

Branches of flesh and blood are wrapped in the ocean.

This is Haisi?

It was not surprising that the creatures on the seabed attracted his attention. After all, judging from their morphological composition, it was not surprising that the sea creatures belonged to the ocean.

But they are too close to the coastline.

as well as.

why.

Except Haisi.

There is no sense of life in this ocean?

Not to mention conventional fish, even seaweed and other aquatic plants are nowhere to be found.

.....

The clone wandering in the ocean swam towards the seabed.

Night fell, and the vision was shrouded in darkness.

Zuo Jian controlled that part of flesh and blood, and derived a light bulb-like structure on the top of his head.

In the dim light, part of the seabed is revealed.

.....

"This is...."

He frowned, looking at the seabed that should have been made of sand and seaweed, but was now covered with a dark blue carpet of flesh.

At the same time, a bulge not far away attracted his attention.

It was a sunken ship broken into half.

It was not a large and magnificent ship, but just an ordinary wooden boat.

He walked forward and looked at the broken interior of the cabin, where some rotten fiber material was still left.

Fishing net?

Zuo Jian turned his head and looked at the sea children crawling on the blue mother bed.

The structure of the fishing boat is simple and any fisherman can operate it and go out to sea.

But, going out to sea with a fishing net?

Go catch these sea urchins?

how is this possible.

Then, there is only one conclusion.

The sea was not like this at the beginning.

The early Saltwind City might not have been an extremely rich place.

But relying on the gifts and resources of the sea, we can at least be self-sufficient.

At the same time, the traces of industrial products also show that no matter how bad they are, they will not become like Anita and the others.

.....

As if to confirm Zuo Jian's inference, a large number of tiny living organisms suddenly appeared in the sea water.

Suddenly, it was as if a shadow was covering me.

The separated consciousness suddenly returned.

“Was it eaten?”

"It looks like the test is over."

In almost an instant, the small fish made of flesh and blood was torn into pieces and then swallowed into the belly of some creature.

However, even though his consciousness was cut off, he could still sense the existence of that part of flesh and blood from a distance.

And...issue some basic instructions, such as starting assimilation.
