Chapter 386 Deep Virtual Reality 214
Of course, before entering the sewer, she had to wear a special mask to filter the toxic gas. As for clothes, it didn't matter; she was wearing a raincoat over them and just a pair of gloves.
As soon as Xie Ning emerged from the sewer, the insects wriggling and crawling inside seemed to sense some danger and immediately sped up their escape.
"Quite clever." Xie Ning approached step by step, and with her movements, frost spread at an extremely fast speed, freezing all the insects inside.
"Target found, target found, multiple targets found." The rabbit circled Xie Ningfei, projecting a virtual 3D map. The dense red dots on it were the black leeches.
"There are so many?" Xie Ning's heart sank. Not only that factory, but there were so many insects even underground in this city. She didn't know how many people had been parasitized without their knowledge.
Strangely, no one lost control like the previous examinee. Xie Ning didn't believe that no one had been parasitized.
The mother needs nutrients, and she needs to differentiate offspring to parasitize the human body and absorb those nutrients.
Xie Ning had the rabbit connect the projector to her glasses, and then she sped through a complex maze of curves and passages at an incredible speed. She no longer controlled her strength; with each step forward, the insects in that area were frozen and then exploded into ice crystals.
Moreover, Xie Ning also discovered several man-made secret passages, which were very crude and looked like they had been violently dug out.
The oxygen level here is very low. Xie Ning felt short of breath after standing for only a short while, so he quickly took out a small oxygen cylinder from his space and put it on.
She hadn't expected the insects to burrow so deep.
"An unidentified object has been detected ahead and has been marked." Xie Ning, wearing glasses, could clearly see the red image fifty meters away through the blurred wall.
Based on initial assessment, it appears to be a creature the size of two people. The creature seems to have noticed its arrival, as the red mass is constantly wriggling towards it at an extremely fast speed.
Xie Ning didn't have time to think. He put the rabbit away and instantly turned into mist, disappearing into the wall.
Then she saw a scene that sent chills down her spine.
The thing squeezed out of the hole, its entire body composed of completely opaque, black, sticky, mud-like substance. Above it was a large vertical eye, and on either side of the eye were two heads.
One head drooped low, its long hair obscuring its face; the other was an amorphous, ugly head with no eyes, its neck constantly stretching out, its serrated mouth opening wide, and its slender, forked tongue protruding as if searching for scents in the air.
Xie Ning felt inexplicably palpitated and had a bad feeling.
really!
The bulging eye suddenly turned around, red blood vessels protruding from the whites of the eyes. Two arm-like things slowly extended, with tendril-like appendages growing from the hands, groping towards him.
Xie Ning felt her heart pounding rapidly.
Torn between staying or running away, she didn't know if the other person had really discovered her, and if they had, whether they could pull her off the wall.
If I act rashly, wouldn't that be the real exposure?
No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die, and she couldn't take matters into her own hands. Even though she believed her superpowers were quite strong and her self-healing ability was top-notch, she only had one life, and she couldn't take the risk.
The aura emanating from the other party was simply too strong; she could feel the pressure, a pressure she had never felt even from 208 since returning from Sky Island.
She chose to follow them here mainly because she had a sliver of confidence in herself. Since those insects weren't particularly powerful, she deduced that the mother creature's combat strength was probably not high either.
She disposed of the mother and gave the credit to Zhan Lin, who then got promoted. This also benefited her, since Zhan Lin was her person.
However... it was a miscalculation.
We're now in a dilemma: should we go all in or retreat? We don't know how fast the other team is, but there's a 90% chance they can't outrun us.
Xie Ning took a deep breath and rushed upwards. Although passing through the walls would consume more of his superpowers, escaping was the priority at this moment.
She wouldn't act rashly unless there was no other way to avoid it, as the outcome of the battle was uncertain.
The moment Xie Ning moved, the black blood leech mother lunged forward, countless tentacles shooting out from her body and piercing straight into the wall. If Xie Ning hadn't run fast, or if she hadn't chosen to stay, she would have been riddled with holes sooner or later.
However, Xie Ning also had a precaution. In the instant she fled, she implanted a locator into the other party's body to make it easier to track their whereabouts.
Sometimes, when superpowers can't solve the problem, you can choose to use firearms.
At the very least, she didn't think her own superpowers were more powerful than a missile.
The mother body overflowed the entire cave entrance like black mercury, with countless thread-like tentacles constantly reaching upwards until they extended to their limit before retracting. Then, her body shrank like a deflated balloon, undulating and serpentine along the ground, her tongue constantly protruding from her mouth, sucking up the remaining scent in the air.
