Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 696 Wrongful Death

"What does it taste like?"

Qi Lin couldn't help frowning. Although the parasite also had an unpleasant smell, the smell was not so strong.

Qi Lin had smelled something similar to this smell before—it was the peculiar smell of food residues that had not been fully digested by gastric acid when he was vomiting.

However, such a smell will not appear on parasites. They have no esophagus or stomach, and they don’t need to use stomach acid to digest food—the parasite’s body itself is food, which is used to support the parasitic worm itself.

Therefore, this smell can only come from No. [-]'s body...

However, No. [-], like Qi Lin, had not eaten for at least eight hours. His last meal was still the kind of "battle field nutrition meal" similar to toothpaste.

The taste and texture of this kind of thing are much better than compressed dry food. The most important point is that it is very easy to digest. Now that eight hours have passed, these nutritious meals that have been eaten have already been converted into energy for the body ... In other words, the stomachs of Qi Lin and the others should all be empty.

"Where did the smell come from?"

Qi Lin looked around the second floor of the villa, and there was nothing abnormal. He tried to take another step closer to No. [-]'s body, and sure enough, the smell became stronger.

"Could it be some 'dead change'..." Qi Lin held up a warhammer in one hand and a dagger in the other, and stuck into No. [-]'s chest torn apart by the parasite——

"how come?!"

Qi Lin originally wanted to see what was in No. [-]'s stomach pouch, but he was shocked to find that... Let alone the stomach, all the organs in No. [-]'s body had disappeared, leaving only a large pile of money. In foamy bloody pus!

"Strong acid?!" Qi Lin couldn't help turning his attention to the parasite, but he quickly dismissed the idea. There has never been a parasite species that can spit out strong acid, let alone this is just a parasite. An ordinary hunter-level parasite.

The most important point is... No. [-]'s body surface has no traces of being corroded by strong acid... This kind of suppurative symptoms started from inside the body!

Qi Lin turned No. [-]'s head away. His facial expression before he was alive was very painful, and the turbid pus and blood slowly overflowed from the seven orifices. Qi Lin wanted to try to use a dagger to touch some of the pus and blood, but who knew , just touched No. [-]'s face, the facial skin of the corpse fell off in an instant, revealing the muscles that had begun to shrink underneath...

Qi Lin was taken aback for a moment, he finally remembered!

This kind of symptom was not uncommon when the "Wasteland Survival Rules" first started serving!Many ordinary players or low-level evolutionary players who do not have enough levels, do not understand the rules of evolution, or take chances to forcibly integrate high-level serums. Once they fail, they will appear in a situation very similar to the current appearance of number four. , Those scholars call this-"gene collapse".

No. [-] was not killed by that parasite, he died of genetic collapse... But, why did his genes suddenly collapse?

Although Qi Lin and No. [-] have known each other not long ago, they have been together for less than half a week. During this period, No. [-]'s state has been very stable, and he does not look like a person who will have a genetic collapse. He hadn't been injected with mutated serum, so how could he die suddenly?

Just when Qi Lin was wondering about No. [-]'s sudden death, a puff of thick smoke surged up from downstairs, and Falcon and No. [-], who were wearing breathing masks, ran up quickly.

"The first floor can't be defended anymore. We lit the fire and put on the breathing mask." Falcon glanced at No. [-]'s body. He wasn't too surprised by No. [-]'s death. Calling can already explain a lot of things.

Qi Lin took out the breathing mask from his backpack, put it on his face, and then took off the large-caliber rifle he was carrying behind him.

Now is not the time to discuss the cause of No. [-]'s death and genetic collapse. If the villa is breached by parasites, none of them can survive. At that time, what difference will there be between being killed by parasites and dying of genetic collapse?

"I'm in charge of the corridor, and Falcon is in charge of the windows of the master bedroom, guest room and bathroom. On the [-]rd, you guard the stairs!" Qi Lin quickly made arrangements, and rushed to the end of the corridor with an assault rifle in his hand.

Just at this time, a hunter-level parasite climbed up along the wall, smashed the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor with its claws, but then, Qi Lin's shuttle bullets knocked it down again. building.

The gunfire never stopped. Even after the high-voltage electric field outside the villa was restored, there were still hundreds of parasites left in the electric field. Qi Lin and the three of them were holding a Gauss pistol whose energy was about to bottom out. , holding a saber or a hammer in one hand, covered with large and small wounds, in the past 10 minutes, each of them killed more than a hundred parasites—although they relied on the terrain inside the villa advantage, but this is almost their limit.

Continuous high-frequency injections of stimulants have caused their bodies to develop short-term resistance to the drugs. Not only did the re-injections have no effect at all, but as the effects of the drugs gradually faded, an indescribable sense of fatigue surged up, and their limbs sank like It's like being filled with lead. Every time you raise your hand to shoot or swing your weapon, you have to grit your teeth and use all your strength. It is precisely because of this that in the last 5 minutes of the battle, the wounds added to their bodies More than the previous 15 minutes combined.

"This is the last... one..."

Qi Lin strenuously pierced the cross sword through the ear of the parasite who was smashed to the ground, and his tired eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, only to see that the whole villa had become riddled with holes. The feeling of being crumbling and about to collapse at any time, the corridors, rooms and corridors are full of parasites or complete or mutilated corpses, the walls are blackened by flames and thick smoke, and none of the priceless famous paintings and sculptures are spared... …

The parasites were all isolated from the high-voltage electric field, and they finally managed to get through the first round of idle time.

Qi Lin's prediction was not wrong. If there was a second round, they would definitely not be able to hold on...

Throwing the cross sword aside, Qi Lin limped to the side of Falcon and No. [-]. Their condition was not much better than Qi Lin's, and Falcon's rib was cut off by the stairs The stubble was poked a big hole, bleeding a lot, and his face was extraordinarily pale.

"It's a pity that No. [-] was killed by the parasite, otherwise we would have won a complete victory..." Falcon coughed a few times and said weakly.

However, Qi Lin shook his head: "Number [-] was not killed by a parasite... The cause of his death was a genetic breakdown."
