Chapter 15 Turmoil
bell! The doorbell rings
The boss, who was playing with the dead fish specimen, looked up at the young man who came in,
There was a trace of surprise in the dim pupils, as if he was a little surprised that Yi Chen could come back 'intact', but a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You seem to have discovered something by the lake."
"We encountered a little trouble, but it has been resolved."
"Well..."
The boss continued to immerse himself in the specimens and didn't ask any questions.
Click~ Return to the guest room, close the door and lock it.
Take out a glass from the bathroom,
Inject the lake water stored between the roots into it,
In the process of squeezing out the lake water from the roots, Yi Chen recalled the chilling lakeside experience.
"That Sheriff..."
Although it is easy to complete the counterattack,
But Yi Chen's eyes captured an uncomfortable scene that made people's skin tingle.
When grabbing the Sheriff's collar,
His chest was exposed with fish scale tissue including the skin and flesh, which was densely packed and oozed with slippery mucus... Even Yi Chen's fingers were covered with some mucus
I instinctively feel repelled by such a picture.
"The skin is scaly, is it a sign of disease?"
At this time,
The little grape pops out from the neckline, taking the initiative to popularize science.
"The "diversity" of disease symptoms is beyond imagination. This disease in the form of fish scales is relatively common in sea areas, rivers and large lakes.
Don't worry,
The plants in your body will form a protective layer and skin-level contact will not make you infected.
But if you accidentally cut yourself, there will be risks... remember to use an ax next time. ”
"Understood."
Put aside the matter of the Sheriff,
Pick up the glass filled with lake water and place it in front of the kerosene lamp.
【Visual Enhancement】
Scanning the water quality like the eyes of a high-definition imager,
The multi-enlarged high-definition pictures reveal terrifying pictures that are invisible to ordinary people.
"Is this... some kind of parasite?"
Swarms of parasites were floating in the water in huge numbers.
Moreover,
Just ten seconds after the lake water was poured into the cup, these parasites were already laying eggs in large numbers on the wall of the cup.
The transparent eggs can reflect faint green light, which may be the origin of the name Green Lake.
"Perhaps this is the reason why the boss said not to "interact" with the town?
However, the plants growing in and around the town are normal and show no signs of disease.
Even the roots that are directly used to store the lake water are not affected at all... In other words, these parasites are ineffective against "plants", and I must take advantage of this. ”
While Yi Chen was analyzing in a low voice,
Little Putao jumped off his shoulder,
Holding the glass with weak and soft black arms,
Gulu gulu ~ a mouthful of boredom
This scene shocked Yi Chen. "What are you doing?!"
Little Grape gently shook her arm with only three fingers, indicating not to worry.
"There are always limitations to observation with the naked eye,
It would be more intuitive and detailed to eat it directly and feel it with the body.
Don’t worry~ I’m already sick, this thing can’t infect me. ”
"Did you get any useful information?"
"Hmm~ These little things that rely on water sources are obviously controlled by some kind of [conscious subject]... They were trying to send a signal when they were swallowed by me. Unfortunately, my body is not that easy to penetrate.
How about we try to find the subject?
Might be able to get some pretty good 'big grapes'. ”
"Don't rush, you have to take your time on this."
"Also... with your current abilities and my immaturity, even if you can find the [subject], you may not be able to kill it smoothly. This matter needs careful planning.
I'm tired~I'm going to take a rest. ”
The chat is over,
Little Putao directly buried most of his body into Yi Chen's shoulders, leaving only a small piece of black fur exposed.
Soon,
The bonfire party in the center of town has also come to an end.
Yi Chen leaned against the window and watched the tourists and residents on the street returning to their respective residences one after another. Nothing bad happened... at least not on the surface.
Thoughts swirled and intertwined in the brain.
"According to the hotel owner, [three days] is difficult to achieve.
In other words, the longer tourists stay, the stronger Green Lake Town’s desire to ‘occupy’ will be.
When the time comes,
Those who participate in the assessment will inevitably have large-scale conflicts with the pathological forces in the small town.
There can be no rush.
There are still many potential dangers in this town. The only thing you need to do today is to have a good rest. ”
After confirming the airtightness of the house, fall on the pillow and go to sleep.
……
Green Lake Town-Center Street
As the bonfire party ended, the whole street fell into silence,
But in some dark corners, there was still slight movement.
Deep in a certain street,
The three-person team that tried to invite Yi Chen to join before is currently carrying out 'disease treatment' here.
During the party, they took the initiative to accept the invitation of an "unmasked man" and went deep into the streets, where they were ambushed.
current.
The blond Edmund's face was full of murderous intent, and his pupils were bloodshot.
He held a dagger in one hand and a pistol with the Mariano family's "flying feather decoration" on it in the other.
Uh-huh!
The rapier was drawn out, with some pus residue still hanging on the surface of the sword.
What fell in front of him was a man with skin that turned into fish scales. The pathogen hidden in his brain was penetrated by a short sword... He didn't even pull the trigger of the pistol during the whole process, and he was successfully solved with one hand with the sword.
Likewise,
His two companions also killed a sick person each.
The woman on the side was wiping the silver dagger with the rag she brought with her and said softly:
"It seems that the small town is the key to the assessment. If we want to pass the organizational assessment, we should find the root cause of the disease or make a sufficient contribution to 'removing the disease'.
Judging from the party,
The mayor wearing a golden ghost mask and the Public Security Bureau are highly suspicious. ”
Blond Edmund straightened his clothes,
"There's no rush...there are still more than two days.
Since I attended the party today, I will try out the free lake tour tomorrow and find out more before making the final move.
I can't wait to get the [skin] of the organization. ”
……
Except for this squad.
The other personnel who participated in the assessment also discovered abnormalities one after another, killing and even capturing sick townspeople alive in different areas for torture.
A large number of death messages are spreading within the town,
The townspeople who stayed at home became impetuous and irritable one by one. They even kept scratching the fish scales hidden under their clothes with their fingers, and even simulated hacking at the furniture.
same.
There was also a strange movement at the [Lvyin Hotel] where Yi Chen lived.
An arm covered with fish scales stretched out from the hidden compartment under the door,
Perhaps due to changes caused by pathogenesis, the length and flexibility of arms are slowly surpassing the scope of humans,
Stretch out nearly two meters in length,
Then through unreasonable joint twisting, fold upward...
Click!
The padlocks on the door fell off one after another,
The incision is smooth and filled with mucus,
What’s even more frightening is that
Each padlock that was cut was firmly grasped before falling to the ground without making any noise.
Crunch~
Doors that haven't been opened for months are slowly being pushed open.
A dark shadow crawled out from the top,
The messy long hair that has not been trimmed for a long time hangs from the ceiling to the floor, dragging it gently like a broom, making a slight rustling sound...
I took my little Fatty to the amusement park on Sunday. I’ll tell you everything, don’t hit me! Don't hit me!
