Nancy slowly walked around her small wooden bed. As she got closer, she saw something white moving in her mother's yellow curly hair as she lay with her back to her. She paused again and trembled as she said,

"Mom, what's in your hair?"

"Nancy, come and help me... I have no strength left." The hunched woman seemed to be unable to sit still and fell off the bed, about to hit the flower stand in front of the window.

Nancy hurriedly went to help her subconsciously, but when she grabbed the woman's hand, it was not the warm hand of her mother that she was familiar with, but a cold and slippery touch.

Nancy felt her hair stand on end and tried to pull her hand back quickly, but the woman who was so close to her suddenly turned her head, revealing her mother's lifeless face with half-closed eyes.

"Ah!!!!"

Nancy screamed and backed away, but the woman suddenly rushed over, and her noodle-like arms were hanging on Nancy's shoulders.

Nancy was so scared that she lost her voice at this moment, and could only choke and retreat backwards, and then watched helplessly as a group of flesh-colored tentacles-like squirming things emerged from her mother's golden curly hair and crawled towards her.

The woman's noodle-like arms were still firmly hanging on Nancy. Nancy struggled like crazy, and stepped on a slipper lying horizontally. She lost her balance and fell backwards, falling heavily to the ground. Then she fell with the hunchbacked woman, who fell right on top of Nancy.

"Help! Help..."

Nancy looked at the gray face that was almost sticking to her neck, and shouted tremblingly in a voice that had been distorted by extreme fear. Nancy

kicked and kicked randomly, but she happened to shake off the flesh-colored tentacles in the woman's dark yellow curly hair, and they fell on her collarbone with a snap.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Feeling the slippery touch of the terrifying life form, it seemed that it was about to penetrate through her skin and drill in. I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Nancy jumped up with a scream, grabbed the flesh-colored ball of silk stuck to her neck, and threw it to the floor.

Then she picked up the thermos on the windowsill and smashed it!

With a bang, the inner liner of the thermos was smashed to pieces, and the boiling water splashed all over the flesh-colored ball of silk.

Then Nancy screamed "Ahhh" while watching the corners of the meat ball curl up as if it was cooked. After a few seconds, the whole meat ball looked like a piece of meat put into a hot pot, and it smelled of meat...

"Let me repeat: you don't have to help when you see a parasite trying to attack people!" The black-haired boy said earnestly to all the psychics who were performing tasks through the wrist-mounted intelligent computer: "I have told you a long time ago that the parasite itself is ridiculously weak! Even a three-year-old child can step on it a few more times and kill it. The main reason why they were able to spread to so many planets before was that they were good at concealing their movements and disguising themselves."

Then the voice of C2001, who was a little worried, came from the intelligent computer: "2d14, what if these parasites slowly lurk on humans like before, and then change hosts? We can't just ignore it!"

"Changing the host is different from the initial parasitism." Xiaoyi explained impatiently, "Before the parasites could spread, the mother body would take several months to breed a new parasite body, but like this time, because it was infected and hastily drilled out of the dead host, its activity is much worse than the initial state."

C2001: "So we really don't need to stop the parasites from attacking humans after they leave the body?"

"No need!" the black-haired boy said impatiently, "Let me put it this way. Even if you put a parasite that has just left the body on a baby, it can't get in within 4 hours. Even if it gets in, it's a parasite that is infected! It will die within 40 days and then be excreted from the human body!"

Nancy sat on the bed with lingering fear, looking at the pool of cooked meat on the ground that was boiled white and curled up.

At this time, she felt dizzy for a while, and it took a few seconds to recover. She hurriedly got up and stumbled to the bedside cabinet to take out the convenient body temperature tester, and measured her forehead:

38.5 degrees!

Nancy's tears welled up again. I was sick too. Am I going to be devoured by this flesh-colored silk ball like my mother? But I don't want to die! Nancy recalled the ambulances she saw flying by along the way...

Yes, Philips Center Hospital! This is the best hospital in the world. I will definitely not die! Nancy took a last look at her mother's body lying on the ground without a sound. She ran into the kitchen, holding back her tears and dizziness, and put the only bread and ham in the refrigerator and 5 raw eggs into her schoolbag. Then she took two kitchen knives from the knife rack, put one into her schoolbag, held the other tightly with both hands, and rushed out of the door with courage.

Along the way, Nancy fearfully avoided pedestrians who were resting on the side of the road because they were unwell. She didn't dare to get too close to pedestrians, and she didn't dare to take public transportation. Instead, she endured the dizziness and pain in her limbs and ran to Philip Hospital.

The scene on the street was no different from what she had seen before, but Nancy still held the kitchen knife in her hand to guard against every pedestrian approaching, for fear that the horrible flesh-colored silk ball would jump out of a stranger's body again.

Nancy felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, and her steps became weak. No, I must insist on going to the hospital, I don't want to die yet! The doctor must have a way to deal with those things, and he must be able to remove them from my body!

Nancy was trying to comfort herself while thinking wildly, and trying to get rid of the scenes of the flesh threads spreading, developing, and multiplying in her body...

and her father might have...

Nancy's tears silently flowed down her cheeks, mixing with her sweat and soaking her hair into strands. Just when she was about to faint, she finally saw the gate of Phillips Hospital. She stumbled around the ambulances in front of the door that might contain monsters, and ran into the hospital gate.

"Doctor! Please save me... I'm sick, and there are also, also..."

At the hospital gate, a little nurse in a pink nurse's uniform gave Nancy a standard sweet smile: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Nancy seemed to feel more dizzy, and even her eyes went black for a while. She collapsed and threw herself into the arms of the little nurse: "Help! There are also those flesh-colored balls in my body..."

The little nurse kept smiling: "It's okay, dear, come with me."

As she said that, she helped Nancy up and carried the paralyzed Nancy into the clinic with a strength that was almost disproportionate to her body.

Nancy was greeted by a doctor with the same smile. Before she entered the room, she vaguely saw the doctor quickly put a lump of white stuff into a sealed sample box, and then he threw the box into a large plastic bucket on the ground. Before Nancy could see clearly, he kicked the plastic bucket that seemed to weigh several hundred pounds under the bed.

"What is that?" Nancy asked tremblingly.

"It's nothing, dear lady, don't worry." The male doctor said, "Come and lie in this nanotherapy device."

Seeing that the doctor seemed to be unaware of the severity of her illness, Nancy hurriedly said, "Doctor! There is..."

The male doctor said, "It's okay, lady, as long as you lie in it, you will be fine."

Nancy lay in the nanotherapy device as he said, and opened her eyes again after a brief coma. She grabbed the doctor's arm and said, "I, can I still be saved? I still feel very dizzy... I can't see clearly..."

The patients queuing at the back looked at the lady whose condition seemed particularly serious, wanting to know what disease she had.

The male doctor said with a smile, "You just have a fever caused by the flu, go get an IV!"

Nancy: "Ah?"

The patients queuing at the back laughed.

Nancy didn't believe it and said with a red face: "But I still can't see clearly, and I can't lift my hands..."

The male doctor smiled and said: "At that time, your blood sugar was too low, so just give you some glucose. Did you go for a long-distance run without eating breakfast? By the way, there are no flesh-colored filaments in your body as you imagined... This is indeed a manifestation of a disease, but its incidence rate in the population is very low, and it is not contagious."

Nancy was stunned: "Ah? But...but my mother died, and her body is still, still..."

The male doctor said sadly: "I am very sorry for your experience. The government will make corresponding compensation to the families of the victims..."

Nancy looked at the orderly hospital and finally believed the doctor's words. Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Nancy quickly took her backpack and, with her hands still shaking from hypoglycemia, she haphazardly dumped out the raw eggs, kitchen knives and other doomsday supplies inside. She pulled out her cell phone from the bottom and pressed the answer button:

"Hello? Dad! You are in the hospital too! You just have a fever? Great... I'll come to you now..."

At the same time, Huo Li on another planet also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Xiaoyi and said, "I thought there were really ordinary people infected by the reincarnated parasitic beasts! It turned out to be a false alarm. The young people nowadays are also suffering from hypoglycemia, it's just a big deal..."

The black-haired boy: "Now that the virus has spread, those Philips Hospitals only need to collect samples of the parasitic beasts that have left the body. There is no need for the taskers to waste time like volunteers in the hospital. It would be better to send them to check the number of all the superpowers outside the Savior Alliance."

Huo Li was a little confused: "Xiaoyi, why is this?"

The black-haired boy: "We are free anyway."

"Okay!" Huo Li said and went to gather the taskers.

"I hope the number of people is right..." The black-haired boy muttered to himself with a trace of worry flashing across his brows after seeing Huo Li leave his sight.
