141: Awakening Potion

A mysterious, entirely silver-white base. All the floors, walls, and ceilings were seamlessly integrated.

The entire space was filled with rows of massive cultivation devices, and many people in white coats and masks worked there.

"How is it? Can it be done?"

Several Men in Suit asked.

"After two days of research, we have basically determined that the mother worm originated from an indigenous planet in the original star system of this Universe, drifting accidentally in space, and did not leave with its own star system. It possesses the ability to control its own sub-worms."

"If an awakening potion is formulated with it, allowing a person to Awaken, it might be possible to control all the sub-worms of that mother worm."

"However, some external symptoms of the Infected currently cannot be eliminated."

An old man in a white coat said.

"If the external symptoms are not eliminated, then it’s not of much use!"

"What we want is to secretly control the leaders of all major countries globally. If the external symptoms are not eliminated, this is simply impossible."

The Men in Suit frowned slightly.

Following the exposure of the organization's branch within the Rabbit Country, in recent days, major global countries such as the Eagle Sauce Country, Japan, John Bull, France, and Russia have all been conducting extensive internal investigations.

The organization is currently under great pressure and hopes to take down all major countries effortlessly.

"There's no way. Two days is too short. The time required is uncertain."

The old man in the white coat said.

"Then there's no other way. Let's formulate the awakening potion first. At that time, we can only release Parasite and Infected throughout the world."

A Man in a suit said indifferently.

"The octopus I mentioned before, why hasn't it been sent over yet?"

The old man in the white coat said.

"That octopus hid in the Underground Dark River. It came out a few times, but they all failed. I will remind them again."

The Man in a suit said.

"Get it here as soon as possible. Someone has taken a liking to this Laser Beam."

The old man in the white coat said... Late at night, dark clouds covered the moon and stars.

From time to time, thunder roared in the dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down. Pea-sized raindrops hit the eaves and glass windows, making the tin roof clatter.

All the survivors hid in various places in fear, not daring to make a sound.

By the riverbank, huge ripples suddenly appeared. The torrential rain, pouring down, seemed to hit an invisible object in mid-air, revealing a huge outline.

"This rainy weather is a flaw, though."

Su Yuan stepped onto land, frowning: "With such dark clouds, thunderstorms, and heavy rain, satellites shouldn't be able to monitor this place, right?"

"First, find a mobile phone, confirm the target, and then fly directly there."

Behind Su Yuan, numerous ferocious and bizarre Giant Pythons and Giant Eels swam out and scattered in all directions.

Only the Two-Winged Dark Python continued to stay by Su Yuan's side.

Su Yuan was not sure if Lin Fei was in those fixed locations. Perhaps he was once there, but had moved due to the attacks of the Infected, it was hard to say.

Therefore, the dozens of his dependents, who were convenient for land movement, were all sent out to search.

"After rescuing this lord's Eldest Disciple, I will have him find a way to inquire about the Mysterious Organization from the country. Once I organize a wave of dependents, it shouldn't be difficult to flatten one of their bases."

Su Yuan muttered to himself indifferently.

Around him, a circle of Infected had already gathered, all looking respectful and offering mobile phones.

One of the phones even had a waterproof case.

Su Yuan extended a thick tentacle, stretching and deforming it until it was as thin as a finger, and coiled it around the phone.

This was a low-end smartphone, a so-called 'senior phone,' with no password set, opening with a swipe.

However, Su Yuan found that while the phone could access the internet and download things, it could not upload any comments, videos, or pictures online.

The phone also had text messages, explaining the current infectious disease caused by Parasite, urging everyone to stay away from crowds and any living creatures, and to pay attention to their own safety.

"Is this to prevent the events here from leaking?"

Su Yuan smiled, downloaded a certain map app, and first searched for the location of the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau.

He felt that Lin Fei and the others were most likely there.

Su Yuan glanced at the map, took a few steps, confirmed the direction, and then his entire body shot into the sky, hovering beneath the dark clouds.

Su Yuan was afraid of being struck by lightning if he went any higher.

The Two-Winged Dark Python also flew into the sky, following behind Su Yuan. Its wings, formed by a pair of tentacles, were a shock to one's sanity just to look at.

At Su Yuan's flying speed, in just over twenty minutes, Su Yuan and the Two-Winged Dark Python had already arrived above the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau.

The Shangqing City Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau was located at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Shangqing City, occupying a large area.

At this moment, the entire Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau was in a mess. The large iron gate at the front could be seen completely pushed down onto the ground.

On the ground, corpses lay everywhere, and a foul stench mixed with the smell of blood permeated the air.

All the doors of the buildings were also open, making the entire Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau seem like a dead zone.

Indeed, in Su Yuan's mind-sensing, there was no one here except for Infected and Parasite.

Su Yuan noticed that the bodies of all the corpses, especially their brains, were charred black, as if they had been burned by a fierce fire.

"Boom!"

Su Yuan's heavy body landed on the ground, shaking the earth.

The ground beneath his feet could not withstand Su Yuan's landing, cracking open in a spiderweb pattern.

"Perish!"

Su Yuan's eyes were cold as he whispered.

All the surrounding Parasite suddenly twisted uneasily, then their entire bodies collapsed, turning into flesh and blood.

"It seems they are not here."

Su Yuan muttered to himself, then flew into the sky again, standing in the firmament, looking down at the city below.

The entire urban area had long lost its usual bright lights. Although some pre-set lights were still on, the entire city was already dead silent.

Following the mobile phone navigation, Su Yuan arrived at the Public Security Bureau in the city center.

Here, just like at the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau, the glass doors were shattered on the ground, and there were corpses everywhere, their heads also showing traces of being burned by fire.

"It seems Parasite are afraid of high temperatures."

Su Yuan guessed.

The Public Security Bureau also had no survivors.

"This is difficult now. The entire urban area is so vast, finding them will be a bit troublesome. The brain tissue of Parasite is too simple; there's no way to find people."

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

Just then, Su Yuan noticed a flock of birds flying from a distance, landing on the corpses, and beginning to feast.

"Oh."

Su Yuan's lips curved upwards. Didn't they just arrive?

There were more than a dozen birds in this flock.

The next moment, these birds froze in place, their bodies twisting. Their sharp beaks were somewhat deformed, their heads became wider, and viscous liquid seeped from their feathers. Beneath the slime, a metallic luster could be vaguely seen, as if a layer of scales had grown, and they let out a grating screech like glass being scraped.

The dozen transformed birds abandoned their food, stood up, faced Su Yuan, and lowered their distorted and broad heads.

"Go, find them!"

Su Yuan said.

In a trance, the dozen birds seemed to glimpse the figure of the great lord of eternal life, and also saw portraits of three people.

The dozen birds received the divine decree, respectfully praised the great lord of eternal life with the highest etiquette, and then flew into the sky, scattering.

"Below here, it should be rats, right?"

Su Yuan's gaze fell on the sewers beneath the street again, sensing a considerable number of mental worlds.

Based on the mental intensity, he speculated it should be a swarm of rats.

"You all go search as well."

Su Yuan's eyes glowed with an eerie light, and his power of strangeness erupted.

In the sewers beneath the city, a dense swarm of rats, some as large as domestic cats, were not Infected by Parasite.

Suddenly, the entire swarm of mutated rats all stiffened, their faces twisting, gradually converging towards human facial features!

Their bodies also twisted slightly, and their fur began to move, as if a piece of flesh was moving around beneath their skin.

Their paws also twisted and grew larger, their toes becoming elongated.

All of this looked strangely terrifying.

Soon, the transformation ended.

The dense army of rats respectfully knelt and kowtowed in Su Yuan's direction, as if worshipping.

Afterward, the entire rat army scattered to fulfill the divine decree issued by the great lord of eternal life.
