Zhang Xiaoqiang pushed on the night vision goggles and turned on the flashlight to see clearly. The person was Crescent Moon. She hung her head motionless, and her scattered hair covered her cheeks. She wore a full combat suit, two pistols at her waist, and leather shoes on her feet. Her hands were hanging weakly, and she seemed to have become a floating female ghost.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had always believed that he was a materialist, but everything in front of him made his heart tremble. Crescent Moon had no rope, steel wire, or even spider silk on her body. She was just floating in the air. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to dig up Newton's grave and pull him over to see clearly. Could gravity be wrong?
Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang found something wrong. Crescent Moon seemed to be motionless, but her body was rising, as if something above her head was sucking her up.
The muzzle of the AN94 was aimed directly at the ceiling. Above the intricate pipes, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw a huge object stuck between the pipes. It was too big. Zhang Xiaoqiang had previously regarded the pile of black objects as darkness, but under the flashlight, he could clearly see that the thing was made up of countless bones and zombies. It was messily integrated into one, and at the same time, it also stuck itself in the pipe. If there was no accident, this thing would always be stuck here.
He could not see the specific shape of the thing, but Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that it must have something to do with Crescent Moon's strange appearance. He was about to pull the trigger, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was in a dilemma. Maybe the bullet could cause damage to it, maybe it couldn't, but no matter whether it could or not, Crescent Moon would be killed because there were zombies below. Once she fell, it would be unimaginable.
However, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that he could not hesitate for too long. Crescent Moon had fallen into a dead end. No matter what, he would not let Crescent Moon become that kind of puppet. Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang was struggling in his heart, the zombies blocking the door suddenly became chaotic. Countless zombies huddled together and fell to the ground.
Just as he was bewildered, a pile of bones and zombie meat rolled in from the outside. Zhang Xiao Qiang did not see wrongly, that thing rolled, at least Zhang Xiao Qiang did not see that it had legs.
As the thing rolled, countless holes appeared on the meat, and thumb-sized beetles crawled out from the holes, crawling towards the zombies that were rolling on the ground.
Under the flashlight, Zhang Xiaoqiang could clearly see the bugs crawling along the zombies' bodies and into their mouths. Then the zombies began to twitch, as if there was a huge electric current flowing through the zombies' bodies. Then the zombies' flesh shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had suddenly lost weight.
Then the meatball continued to roll forward, and the slit secreted a glob of mucus. The slit continued to expand, and swallowed many of the zombies that were parasitized by the bugs, turning them into a part of the meatball. It was unknown if this thing had the habit of parasitizing and devouring the zombies, but more and more beetles crawled out of the slit, and like fish in water, they crawled towards the surrounding zombies.
After many of the evolved zombies had been parasitized, the D2 seemed to be alone. The D2 also felt that something was wrong. Not far in front of it, the thing that had the smell of its own kind gave it a sense of danger. The D2 let out an angry roar, and charged forward. With one claw, it clawed at the meat, and tore off a large chunk of its body. Countless bones and pieces of meat were torn apart by the D2. When those things fell to the ground, the meat rolled forward and hit the D2's thigh.
If it was a normal zombie, it would have been knocked over, but the D2 zombie's natural balance was not weak, and it was also very heavy. Although it was only twice the height of a normal zombie, its weight was more than 10 zombies added together. So not only was the D2 zombie fine, it even hugged the meatball, and opened its mouth wide to chew on it.
The D2's big mouth could even bite through the D3's thick skin, so the meat couldn't stop it. For a moment, the huge meat started to twitch, and as if it was about to collapse, from the edges, pieces of white bones and zombies fell off the meat.
"Weng …."
A strange wave came from the meat, and in Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, the air between the D2 and the meat seemed to twist. Then the D2, which had no effect on physical attacks, was sent flying, and the meat broke apart even faster. Even so, the meat was still rolling forward, and in a moment, it had reached the struggling D2, and hundreds of beetles rushed towards the zombie.
Compared to the normal zombies, the D2 was much more sensitive. Although it couldn't see, it could involuntarily roll on the ground, and a pile of beetles was submerged in the liquid on the ground.
However, this wasn't of much use, the beetles were abnormally agile as they crawled towards the zombie's mouth. Not long after, the beetles that were crawling all over the zombie's body gathered together under the zombie's mouth, forming a small black stream that flowed into the zombie's mouth.
This time, the D2 tasted pain, and its body started to twitch, as if it was about to be controlled. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already decided to save Crescent Moon while the zombie was fighting with the meat. Because Crescent Moon was about to reach the meat, countless beetles crawled on the various pipes, as if they were covering the pipes with a black blanket.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the D2 let out a loud roar, and from its open mouth, countless tiny black dots shot out from the beam of the flashlight. The beetles were ineffective, and the D2 then sat up, hugging the meat that was sent to its side. In that moment, the offensive and defensive roles were reversed, and pieces of flesh and bones fell from the meat. Although the meat released a few more strange shockwaves, the zombie still hugged the meat tightly and didn't let go.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang wasn't in a hurry to save Crescent Moon, he knew that the meat below was definitely related to the one above, and he was waiting for the opportunity to save the one below.
Just when the meatball was torn to a third of its original size, all the pipes above it shook, and then three to five of them broke at the same time, crashing downwards. Countless black beetles fell from the sky, and when they landed on the ground, they scattered in a corner in the mucus.
At the same time, Zhang Xiao Qiang was also caught in the crossfire. It was as if a huge wall of air was pressing down on him, pressing him against the jar. All the bones in his body were creaking, and around the zombie, the mucus on the ground was also splashed into the air. If one slowed down, one could see that with the zombie as the center, a huge circular shock wave was formed.
The shockwave was very strange, and even a third-degree evolver like Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't move. However, the small bugs crawling in the mucus were unharmed, and at most, they splashed with the mucus.
The zombie and Zhang Xiaoqiang were pressed down by this huge invisible pressure at the same time. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't expect the thing above to be so fierce, and he couldn't resist it at all. Several small beetles were rolled up by the mucus and fell on Zhang Xiaoqiang's body. Then, the small bugs automatically crawled along Zhang Xiaoqiang's body and into his mouth.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes couldn't see what was on his body, but he could feel the small bugs crawling on his thin clothes. When the small bugs crawled to Zhang Xiaoqiang's neck, Zhang Xiaoqiang's hair stood up in fear. If he was really hungry, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't mind eating some insects, but now, the small bugs were in his mouth, and it was obvious that they wanted to eat him.
It had to be said that today was Zhang Xiaoqiang's worst day. He had encountered all kinds of strange things. Now, before Zhang Xiaoqiang could save Yueya, he had to face his biggest crisis first.
He was an innocent bystander, and there were only a few small bugs crawling on his body. However, the D2 below was different. Its whole body was almost covered by bugs, and countless of them crawled into its mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes.
