Welcome to the City of Strange Species

Infected at the start and exiled to the City of Strange Species.

Octopus extended its tentacles: What is this? Let's suck it!

Goat extended its hooves: What is this? Let's suck ...

Chapter 21 He Wei

It was a gigantic monster that defied description, its entire body covered in unsettling, rounded worms that clung tightly to its surface like snails.

Gu Li stared blankly at the thing that was gradually emerging from the clouds above his head. A long groan came from the monster's mouth, shaking the souls of everyone present.

She perched on Eric's arm, her sharp claws tightening involuntarily, gripping his sleeve tightly, while the constant fluttering of her wings revealed her unease.

It was a giant whale, almost the size of an entire city, swaying its enormous tail fin in the deep sky and spewing dark gray gas from its head, flying leisurely over everyone's heads like an aircraft carrier.

Compared to those standing below and looking up, they were all insignificant ants.

Gu Li flicked its tail, and the moment the familiar chaos spread through its mind, it subconsciously cast a group heal on itself, instantly clearing its head.

The colossal creature in deep space, which resembled an ancient god descending, appeared to her as the fall of a giant being, its flesh gradually rotting and falling away to reveal its enormous, pale skeleton.

Its dark internal organs resembled a lump of mud that had been carelessly stuffed in, and pulsated as if alive with its swimming movements.

The whale's head was gradually being stretched out of shape, like a water-filled balloon that was about to burst. Its surface was a precarious, dim, and transparent yellow, and from a distance, it looked like a giant pustule.

The only constant is the worms with their short, wriggling bodies, clinging to the superskeletal organs and carrying hard shells, their skirts slightly protruding as they wriggle and make a sticky, disgusting sound on the surface of the giant whale.

Gu Li was somewhat relieved that her current physical condition prevented her from being overwhelmed by the thing's pressure and vomiting up something terrible on the spot.

She slowly withdrew her gaze, only then realizing the silence around her, and the slightly damp feeling on her hind paws.

She glanced down instinctively.

Eric's tuxedo, which had remained undamaged during the melee, was now transformed into a series of blinds under her claws, causing Gu Li's pupils to shrink to a slit.

She quietly released her grip and subconsciously gave Eric a treatment, watching as his arm, which looked like a rubber shoe had been torn off, gradually began to heal.

Gu Li resisted the urge to look up; the enormous monster that seemed beyond its capabilities could probably destroy the city with just a slight movement.

That was the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads.

No one knows when it will crash down, and what's even more urgent is how she can quickly awaken the indigenous people on the scene, or even in the city, who have been corrupted by the whale's illusions.

Her starlight had dwindled, and it seemed to have little effect on Eric...

Her gaze suddenly fixed on the red and white plastic megaphone hanging from Eric's waist. The two fan-shaped ears that were close to the sides of his head twitched and bent forward to block his ears.

Eric's enchanting voice, like a demonic chant, emanated from the trumpet. Even without his own blessing, it still carried an extraordinary influence. The trumpet, hooked on the hind paw of the chestnut, flapped its wings, carrying it around everyone's ears.

Her expression was resolute; this was absolutely a last resort, so please don't blame me!

A voice with inhuman charm chanted a tune that seemed to come from hell. The immense crisis in the sky and the alien creatures standing on the ground created an even more terrifying atmosphere in this alien city surrounded by black mist.

Inside the Federal University's enormous auditorium, capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of faculty and students, Li Deya, the current dean of the Light Child Academy, with an arrogant expression, clicked on an image on the giant screen.

Research and appreciation of advanced variant species.

Holding the microphone under the watchful eyes of all the teachers and students, Li Deya's voice was slightly distorted by the static: "Our Federal Academy has always valued courage, knowledge, dedication, and practice."

“In previous years, all students only saw the alien species for the first time after they went to the battlefield. Data shows that the contamination rate of first-year interns is as high as 70%!”

The students below began to stir slightly. Some teachers who knew the inside story changed their expressions, looked up warily, and kept dialing Li Deya's number, trying to tell him to say less.

However, Li Deya did not intend to say much. He lowered his hands to quiet the venue: "These are real and harsh data, which also means that our policy has deviated somewhat. Measures to completely eliminate risks are invalid from today onwards."

He scanned the numerous young and panicked faces inch by inch, and smiled slightly: "From today onwards, we will watch the alien species through live broadcasts and gradually carry out desensitization treatment. Dozens of practicing Sons of Light are already on site to protect everyone."

One person took a deep breath. In this era of scarcity of Children of Light, the gathering of dozens of Children of Light here is something that probably only the Federal University could accomplish.

He glanced at He Wei, who seemed somewhat uninterested standing beside him, nudged her with his elbow, and winked: "You still don't want to tell us what happened during your internship in District One? Is it really like the rumors say, that you saw a high-level species?"

He Wei stared at the scene on the screen, her expression momentarily blank. She instinctively replied, "I didn't see anything. Don't ask."

Her dark eyes reflected the familiar coastline, which seemed to be a drone sent by the school, steadily moving forward until the city that kept appearing in her dreams came into view again.

He Wei's pupils suddenly dilated. That city was so mysterious and terrifying that even as a low-level creature, she was almost killed. Even a school should not broadcast the scene here!

If they were to actually encounter the advanced species with twisted ram horns they had seen that day, He Wei could almost imagine the terrifying scene of the unsuspecting students being collectively contaminated and mutated.

She suddenly stood up, ignoring the surprised and dissatisfied looks from her classmates, and ran straight towards the stage. She bumped into classmates more than once along the way, but she was too nervous to say an apology.

He Wei's teeth were chattering as she stared intently at Teacher Li, who was looking at her with displeasure. Teacher Li... did Teacher Li really know what she was doing?

Something must have gone wrong!

"Who is she? Are you crazy?!"

"You bumped into me, it hurt so much, and you didn't even apologize."

"I bet they went crazy with fear when they heard they were going to watch a live video of an alien species."

"You're crazy! That's He Wei, a first-year student!"

"Has something really happened?"

He Wei used almost all her strength to run to the vicinity of the podium. She pushed aside the teacher who came to stop her and looked at the dark city gradually appearing in the picture, her pupils shrinking.

It's too late!

Without hesitation, He Wei gripped the edge of the platform with both hands and shouted with all her might, "Stop looking! Don't look! That's the city of aliens!! You'll die!"
