Xu Yi squatted down and brushed away the snow, revealing a shriveled male corpse in front of the four.
It was more like a specimen than a corpse. The extreme cold had preserved the surface of the body relatively well, but the entire body seemed to have been hollowed out, leaving only a rough skin hanging on the bones.
Turn the body over to its front; there was a hole the size of a pen in the chest, with not a trace of blood at the edges of the wound.
“This…” Xiao Yu grabbed a clump of snow and wiped the blood off her hands. “How come there’s not a drop of blood on the corpse?”
Xu Yi picked up the key, carefully examined it, and then dragged the body to a tree by the roadside.
"He only had one wound on his chest, and the wound was very smooth. It wasn't just blood; all the bodily fluids in his body had been drained."
Sun Tiantian felt a pang of pity, "What about the child's mother? Could it be...?"
The four of them split up and searched around. Sure enough, they found another female corpse in a snowdrift not far away. Like Han Xue's father, she had a hole the size of a pen in her throat, and her body had been drained of all bodily fluids, turning her into a specimen.
“If we don’t help, this child will starve to death in the basement.” Sun Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Sheng with determination. “Let’s open the door for her. Whether she lives or dies is up to her, okay?”
After taking the keys from Xu Yi, Sun Tiantian and Xiao Yu walked ahead, while Lu Sheng and Xu Yi followed behind.
Han Xue was eagerly waiting through the small window. When she saw Lu Sheng and the others return, she wiped away her tears with her little hands, "Brother and sister!"
Lu Sheng glanced at the small window out of the corner of his eye, and there were the two crispy sharks still sitting there untouched.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'll open the door for you now."
As Sun Tiantian spoke, she inserted the key, and Xiao Yu helped lift the heavy roller shutter door.
Just as Han Xue bent down to crawl out of the door, Lu Sheng and Xu Yi suddenly pounced on the two people outside the door, pushing Sun Tiantian and Xu Yi down onto the white snow.
A piercing buzzing sound rang out, and Lu Sheng quickly drew his Tang Hengdao sword, swiped it off its sheath, and slashed through the air.
*Pfft*
The blade was as smooth as a mirror. A sharp, tubular object was sliced in two by the tip of the blade and fell onto the snow.
Xiao Yu got up from the ground, her palm, which had just been broken, cracked open again, and a few drops of blood dripped down her fingers onto the blood.
"Brother...I'm so hungry..."
A hint of fanaticism flashed in Han Xue's beautiful eyes, and a slender mouthpart suddenly shot out of her mouth.
Xiao Yu picked up Sun Tiantian and dodged to the side. The mouthparts flashed by and sucked up the bloodstains on the ground.
“What…” Sun Tiantian’s face turned pale. “Lu Sheng… I’m sorry.”
Lu Sheng gripped the knife hilt and casually gathered up her loose long hair.
Unexpectedly, I encountered parasitic species in just two days.
Han Xue sucked a few drops of Xiao Yu's blood and, still not satisfied, crawled out from behind the roller shutter.
"Thank you, brothers and sisters. I waited for two days but no one came. Luckily, I met you all." Han Xue smiled shyly at the group like an ordinary little girl.
Sun Tiantian felt nauseous with anger, "Who's your sister!"
"What's with the fierceness! Just because you have big breasts doesn't mean you're so great!" Han Xue rolled her eyes, then turned to Xiao Yu with a sweet smile, "Brother is still the best."
Lu Sheng stared intently at the parasitic mutant in front of her, who was almost indistinguishable from a human girl. "You drained your parents dry, didn't you?"
There was also a body in the hardware store. It was probably Han Xue's parents who locked her in the door after discovering that she was using human drugs, but they didn't expect that her mouthparts could stick out from the window.
"I can't help it, I'm so hungry. Brother, can I come with you?" Han Xue squeezed out two more tears.
Lu Sheng sneered, "I didn't realize you, you clown, had such a big appetite."
Enraged, Han Xue thrust her sharp mandibles at Lu Sheng.
"The little thing is in a hurry."
Lu Sheng swiftly swung his sword horizontally, the sharp blade slicing through the snow curtain with a whooshing sound.
With her sharp mouthparts severed in half, Han Xue let out a piercing scream and turned to attack Xu Yi.
"Eat...eat your fill and you'll have energy!"
Just as the mouthpiece was about to pierce Xu Yi's neck, he suddenly grabbed Han Xue's mouthpiece with his bare hands and pulled out a scalpel with his other hand.
A knife was plunged deep into the back of Han Xue's head, leaving only the hilt of the knife on her skull.
"Ouch! Brother, don't hit me!"
Han Xue winced in pain, and her half-existing mouthparts quickly retracted into her mouth.
Lu Sheng kicked Han Xue's slender body against the wall, and the blade stabbed into the little alien's chest in mid-air.
One blow kills.

Lu Sheng walked to the corpse and stabbed it again, finally pulling out Xu Yi's scalpel.
Just in time, the small alien's crystal core was stuck in the scalpel and pulled out along with it.
Sun Tiantian was still shaken and collapsed on the snow, panting heavily. It took her a while to stand up.
“Lu Sheng…” Sun Tiantian looked guilty, biting her lip and on the verge of tears, “I’m sorry…”
Lu Sheng couldn't stand these sentimental scenes of admitting mistakes, and immediately interrupted Sun Tiantian, "Alright, have you learned your lesson this time?"
"If I become a saint again, I'll gain 50 pounds." Sun Tiantian laughed through her tears and made a promise while holding Lu Sheng's arm.
Learning from one's mistakes, Lu Sheng would rather Sun Tiantian learn her lesson now and extinguish her useless sympathy from now on.
After a quick search, the four of them finally found a grain and oil shop on the commercial street.
Lu Sheng used his gold chain, along with all the money in the bank cards of the remaining three people, to exchange for some rice, soybean oil, and dried beans and eggplants that the shop owner had sun-dried himself.
Having finally managed to get out of town, none of them wanted to turn back now.
We drove along the highway and ended up at a reservoir on the outskirts of the city.
The reservoir was covered with a thick layer of ice, so there was no fear of driving a car on the ice. A few dozen meters away, a group of people were hacking away with ice axes.
"What are they looking for?" Sun Tiantian asked curiously.
“They must be looking for fish.” Xiao Yu took out his binoculars and glanced at the fish. “Every year, thousands or tens of thousands of fish fry are released here. When I was a child, I often came here to fish with my grandfather.”
Fish are being raised in the reservoir? It just so happens that she doesn't have many live fish in her spatial storage.
Unfortunately, both she and Zhuangzhuang love to eat fish. She eats the fish meat, while Zhuangzhuang gnaws on the fish head and tail.
Lu Sheng pretended to open the trunk of the Raptor, but actually took out two chainsaws from his storage space.
"Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed."
Xu Yi tapped on the ice and finally chose a spot near the center.
Xiao Yu and Xu Yi each took a chainsaw and started cutting at the spot they had just chosen.
Seeing Lu Sheng and his group's actions, a group of people in the distance immediately put down their ice axes and stared at them with complicated expressions.
