Chapter 71
The scene was a bit weird at this moment. The corpse kept beating as if it had a heartbeat. Hua's eyes were fixed on the constantly beating corpse. Because she didn't know the reason for what happened, she couldn't help but reveal a kind of fear in her eyes.
Hearing a slight noise behind her, Kate immediately turned around to look. The shaking of the corpse was like a huge drumbeat.
Kate immediately opened fire from a distance, and Hua threw stones. Fire and stones fell on the throbbing body.
A huge cloud of dust flew up.
Kate reacted the fastest, holding her breath and firing continuously. Hua accidentally took a breath and felt that her throat was unable to breathe for a while, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands and retreated.
When they got to the yard, Hua let go of her hands and took a few breaths, then finally couldn't control her coughing and burst into a violent cough. She waved her hands in front of her nose and turned her head to avoid the dust in the house.
Hua quickly caught her breath, and found that Kate did not follow her out. She was stunned for a moment, and without thinking about it, Hua hurried back in.
Kate was looking carefully at the location of the corpse at this time. After Hua stood beside him, he did not look back at her. Hua did not dare to make a sound and could only look in that direction silently.
But the dust did not dissipate for a long time, so Hua immediately used Gale. The strong wind brought by the ether swept the dust away. Except for the loss of a wall, there were not many other changes in the room.
After the dust settled, the body was still there intact, but it was no longer moving. The stones brought by the stone pile had disappeared. Kate walked over.
Hua followed Kate closely, feeling a little uneasy. She didn't know whether her choice just now was to sweep away the thing that caused the corpse to stir, but the dust at that time did not dissipate for a long time, which was not in their favor.
Hua instinctively began to communicate with the ether, and if the situation went wrong, she would activate the ether to counterattack immediately.
Kate noticed that something was wrong with the flower. He thought that he could not stop and should investigate as soon as possible. He quickly began to examine the body.
But everything is normal now.
"Let's go."
Kate turned around and put one hand on Hua's shoulder. Hua relaxed a little. After all, it is difficult to maintain mental tension after leaving the dangerous link.
After relaxing, the ether that Hua had been holding tightly together naturally dissipated. Because Hua had not yet disconnected from the ether, she quickly received feedback from the ether.
"That woman's abdomen seemed to have life."
Hua hesitated a little as he told the information he had discovered. Seeing that it was still alive despite being in such a mess, it must be an ant.
Kate focused his eyes on the corpse's abdomen. The gun in his hand disappeared instantly, and then he tore open the flesh of the abdomen with his fingers.
Hua looked away a little uncomfortably. She refused to look at such a scene in panic. It was different from facing ants. The flesh and blood of the same kind made Hua feel as if her whole body was covered with thorns.
Nausea and vomiting continued to vibrate in her chest. Hua calmed herself down and tried to look over there.
But Kate saw that she was already holding a young ant in her hand. At first glance, there was not much blood. The little ant's eyes were not open. Only the skin color was obviously different from that of humans. From the appearance alone, it was really not much different from a human.
Kate, who had direct contact with the ant, realized that the ant was obviously premature and looked almost dead.
"Tell me, was this ant there before or after my treatment?"
Hua asked hesitantly in a low voice. She felt uneasy in her heart. If it was there before the treatment, did it mean that the ants would use humans to reproduce directly?
But why do this?
And if it only exists after treatment, does it mean that after humans implant ant parts into their bodies, as long as they can survive, they will split into enough ants?
Hua is actually more inclined to the previous guess. If the ants had known that there was a person who could double the number of ants as quickly as possible, they would have set out earlier.
Is it really because of me that there is no probability?
Of course there is.
Hua knew clearly that if she hadn't treated the other person, he wouldn't have died so tragically. If she hadn't allowed his body to heal quickly, if she had insisted on removing the ant's remaining limbs...
"Don't think about it."
Kate actually thought it was very likely that the ants had implanted their larvae in the woman's body before the treatment, but the panic and anxiety that Hua clearly expressed showed that this was the limit of what she could bear.
If she were allowed to think about it any further, Hua would destroy herself before the battle even started.
"I, I feel a little..."
Hua covered her mouth with both hands. She could clearly feel the urge to vomit. Kate patted Hua on the back.
"Don't hold back, go ahead."
Hua rushed out tumbling and crawling, and Kate followed closely behind Hua. In this situation, he really didn't feel comfortable letting Hua act alone. If any unexpected situation occurred, what was the difference between a lone Hua and the fat meat in a pack of hungry dogs?
Hua leaned against the tree and retched non-stop. Her empty stomach couldn't pour out anything. Only the twitching stomach told her how far she was from the world.
At this moment, Hua not only felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but also felt the smell of blood at the tip of her nose. The woman's voice, appearance and smile appeared in front of her in a trance.
Kate did not try to comfort Hua. Hua had to get over this situation on her own.
No matter what we do now, it will be a hint for Hua to return to normal, so it is better to just wait.
At this time, the little ant in Kate's hand opened his eyes. Kate was holding his arm and he was looking seriously at the flower that was retching over there.
At this time, Hua was trying her best to calm her fear. She turned her head and saw the little ant's dark pupils, which were the same as the woman's before.
The muscles on Hua's face twitched wildly and uncontrollably. Kate noticed Hua's gaze and looked down at the ant in her hand.
"So it's possible to wake up?"
Kate looked at the ant in his hand with a bit of admiration. He had thought that this premature ant was dead and was going to take it out as one of the evidences, but he didn't expect it to be still alive.
"Mr. Kate?"
The little ant's voice was so soft, but it startled both Hua and Kate.
Hua was immediately filled with ecstasy. She knew that ants would have memories of themselves as human beings, but she didn't expect that newly born ones would have them too?
Kate was not so optimistic. He immediately thought that the ant was maliciously imitating the woman's way of speaking, trying to gain sympathy or a chance to survive.
Reason still controlled Kate. What he needed was not just the elimination of the ants, but more intelligence or more information about their characteristics.
So Kate didn't attack the ant immediately. He tried his best to control his impulse and gave a friendly smile.
"Ma'am, how are you feeling?"
The ant looked at his hand in confusion, then felt the field of vision and spoke in a good mood.
"Great! My body seems to have become very flexible, my limbs are strong, and it seems like I've shrunk in proportion?"
"I'm doing fine, thank you very much."
