Xie Xuan's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, then reached down to grasp the pistol hanging on his waist. In addition to this gun, there was another pistol-shaped gun on his waist.
Strange, why did she carry two guns? Xie Xuan picked up the other gun and unexpectedly found that it was a tranquilizer gun.
Xie Xuan couldn't quite remember why she had brought a tranquilizer gun.
While Xie Xuan was still trying to figure out why the gun appeared on her waist, Ling Wenqing, who had just walked into the safety passage, suddenly turned around.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Most of Ling Wenqing's body was hidden in the darkness. Xie Xuan didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Ling Wenqing's body wrapped in the black protective suit seemed to be bulging.
"The parasite is inside. We can complete the mission by killing it and collecting its eggs."
Xie Xuan no longer worried about the tranquilizer gun in her hand. "Sorry, I'll be right there."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, she and Ling Wenqing walked into the safety passage together.
There was no light in the emergency passage. When Xie Xuan and Ling Wenqing walked in, all the moths that were perched in the passage were startled. The reflective scales on their bodies refracted the light from the corridor outside, making Xie Xuan feel a little dizzy.
Ling Wenqing took Xie Xuan down one floor. Next to the emergency exit sign on the wall that emitted a faint green light, Xie Xuan saw a gray-white moth as big as a human.
It lay motionless on the ground, with a pair of gray-white wings on its thin body and a pair of long antennae on top.
This must be the parasite. Xie Xuan felt that her vision in front of her began to blur inexplicably.
Xie Xuan raised his head and pointed the gun at the moth's head, but Ling Wenqing was faster.
A loud bang echoed in the corridor, the moth twitched violently, and blood slowly covered the entire ground.
The moths startled by the gunshots again surrounded Xie Xuan, and Xie Xuan could hardly see what was happening in front of him.
Xie Xuan closed her eyes, and a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded clearly in her ears.
"The current spore concentration detected is 50%. The parasite has completely lost control."
"Team 8 member Tian Kaikang has been infected..."
The voice recited four completely unfamiliar names in succession before it fell silent again.
Who is Tian Kaikang? Xie Xuan's head began to hurt again.
Wait, why did she use "again"?
Xie Xuan opened her eyes. In front of her, Ling Wenqing had already squatted down and took out a dagger from somewhere and cut open the body of the moth.
It was clearly a moth lying on the ground, but the cut wound had its skin and flesh rolled up like a human.
Blood was all over the floor, and the strong smell of blood made Xie Xuan feel a little suffocated.
Ling Wenqing was taking out the gray-black eggs from the moth's body. Each egg, still stained with blood, was the size of a ping-pong ball.
Just as Xie Xuan was about to ask if the mission was over, she saw Ling Wenqing taking off the helmet of his protective suit.
"What are you doing?" Xie Xuan heard herself ask.
"I want to collect the eggs." Ling Wenqing turned his head to look at her. The originally normal lower half of his face had turned into a mouthpart exactly like that of a moth.
The long mouthparts stretched out and sucked in the eggs that had just been taken out of the moth's body one by one. When Xie Xuan saw Ling Wenqing swallowing, she strangely felt an urge to eat as well.
Ling Wenqing, whose face had half turned into a moth, seemed to know what Xie Xuan was thinking. He handed the remaining egg in his hand to her and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
On the black protective suit lay a grayish-white egg stained with a little blood. It looked no different from the eggs we usually eat.
It’s okay to eat one, Xie Xuan’s mind began to become dazed.
But just as she reached out her hand, a strange yet familiar voice sounded in her mind.
【Spirit value decreased by 15.】
What is spirit value? Xie Xuan's eyes were only focused on this delicious-looking egg. It must be delicious. She wanted to eat it.
Just as Xie Xuan was about to reach out her hand, her vision suddenly turned into a clean blue, but this blue did not stay on her retina for long. After just one second, the blue began to fade.
The scene in front of her began to recover, but the strange thing was that Ling Wenqing standing in front of her had not only turned into a moth in the lower half of his face, but his entire body had turned into a giant moth. He had no protective clothing on him at all, and a pair of brown wings were flapping slightly behind him.
And the person lying on the ground was not a moth, but a person in a hospital gown. His chest was cut open, his eyes were wide open and out of focus, and blood was still oozing out of the wounds in his mouth and forehead.
But there was almost nothing in his chest, like a hollowed-out corpse.
Xie Xuan blinked, and the strange scene in front of her disappeared. Ling Wenqing in front of her had turned back into a normal human face, and lying on the ground was still a huge moth.
What is true and what is false?
Xie Xuan's headache became more and more severe, and her vision became more and more blurred. She bit the tip of her tongue hard, forced herself to change the tranquilizer gun into a pistol, and pulled the trigger at the swaying figure in front of her.
"Bang--!"
Everything fell into darkness and silence.
Xie Xuan felt like it took her a long time to wake up from the darkness. She opened her eyes and found herself standing in a ward.
There were two beds in the ward, with an instrument in the middle and something on both beds.
She turned and saw three grayish-white moths perched on the doorframe.
The moth was very similar in color to the white door frame, but Xie Xuan saw them at once.
There are moths here. Since this is a field, it's normal to have moths.
This series of thoughts popped up in Xie Xuan's mind very coherently.
Xie Xuan walked out of the ward. She knew that the infected people were in the safe passage at the end of the corridor, and all the wards here did not need to be checked.
She had just entered the field, but was separated from Zhou Yuanyuan and the others. She had to get rid of the parasites as soon as possible to complete the mission and meet up with them.
The hospital corridor was very white and bright, stretching forward as if there was no end.
Xie Xuan took a few steps and suddenly reached out to touch her waist.
There was a gun hanging from it, a tranquilizer gun instead of a pistol.
It's strange, why would she enter the field with only a tranquilizer gun and not a pistol?
Xie Xuan had a slight headache. She felt as if she had forgotten something, but her memory was very coherent. She remembered every day from the time she was born to today clearly.
...Since birth? Did she have memories so early?
