143: Transformed eels and mice appear

Just then, Old Man Zhang and the others, who were scavenging for resources outside, also discovered that their home was in trouble and rushed back frantically.

“All of you, die!”

Old Man Zhang looked at the countless Infected in front of him, his eyes red. He swung his fire axe horizontally, and the powerful force sent several Infected flying.

“Damn it!”

Liu Ye, Zhou Kubo, and Sun Zeyu all changed their expressions drastically, pulled out their weapons, and charged into the Infected.

“How can we leave? Let’s fight them to the death!”

Lin Fei and Chen Xu roared, seeing Gu Xiong and Fang Chenjin charge into the Infected, they couldn't possibly leave.

Just at this moment, a creature resembling a giant python, over ten meters long, appeared!

“Oh my god! A Giant Eel?!”

Old Man Zhang and the other three men turned pale at the sight of this brown, python-like creature, and they vaguely felt a pain in their stomachs.

All four of them, except Liu Ye, had almost been killed by a Giant Eel before.

“Something’s not right, is this really a Giant Eel?”

But upon closer inspection, Old Man Zhang was a bit confused. The color of this Giant Eel was much darker, and its body was covered in viscous mucus. Its entire head was twisted and swollen with bulges, and there were things writhing around its neck.

Old Man Zhang stared intently and then realized that those writhing things were actually slender tentacles!

At first glance, this thing was an Eel, but upon closer inspection, it was quite unsettling to the eyes.

Regardless of whether this thing was similar to the previous Giant Eel, it was undoubtedly a powerful Mutated Creature, incomparable to the current Infected.

Old Man Zhang and the other three men immediately reached for the pistols at their waists.

Firearms were not very effective against the Infected, but they still had an effect on these normal Mutated Creatures.

Seeing that the Giant Eel's eyes did not have the characteristics of an Infected, they thought it was a normal Mutated Creature.

But the next moment, the Giant Eel's actions surprised them. It quickly rushed past them without attacking them. Instead, it lashed out with its tail, sending five or six Infected flying.

Old Man Zhang and the other three men almost broke out in a cold sweat. Before they even had a chance to draw their guns, the Giant Eel had charged past them with astonishing speed.

This speed was much faster than that of the previous Giant Eel!

It should be known that all four of them were Awakened Ones, and their drawing speed surpassed that of ordinary people.

The Giant Eel was not only incredibly fast, but its massive body also brought immense power. It charged into the hundreds of Infected, knocking all of them flying along the way.

“It’s a Giant Eel?!”

Lin Fei and Chen Xu were also shocked.

This scene stunned everyone.

They didn't know how such a strangely shaped Mutated Creature suddenly appeared, and it was even attacking the Infected.

Most importantly, it hadn't devoured a single Infected yet, nor had it carried away any prey.

All of this seemed to be more than just simple hunting behavior.

The hundreds of Infected had also discovered this more enticing prey. Most of them abandoned Lin Fei and the others in the villa and instead frantically pounced on and bit the Giant Eel.

However, the Giant Eel’s body was covered in viscous liquid, making it difficult to exert force on it.

Especially at the Giant Eel’s neck, those ferocious tentacles suddenly elongated, instantly piercing the Infected’s skull, wildly stirring inside the Infected’s brain, immediately finding the Parasite, and instantly biting and devouring them.

Moreover, the Giant Eel was incredibly strong and its body was slippery, so even when surrounded by the Infected, it could easily escape.

“Holy cow! This Giant Eel really killed the Parasite!”

Lin Fei had been watching the Giant Eel and, even in the heavy rain, noticed this scene. The things on its neck pierced into the Infected's brain, and that Infected truly died, falling to the ground without any movement.

“How did it know about the existence of the Parasite?”

Chen Xu exclaimed, this was even more astonishing than the Infected.

It couldn't be that this Giant Eel possessed extremely high intelligence and discovered the existence of the Parasite.

“Go! Hurry up and go!”

Old Man Zhang shouted from a distance.

Neither the Infected nor this incredibly fast Giant Eel were opponents they could contend with.

Now that they were fighting each other, it was a good opportunity for them to leave.

Moreover, the huge commotion here was attracting more Infected from afar.

After most of the Infected were drawn away by the Giant Eel, the remaining Infected had their heads easily chopped off by Lin Fei and the others, losing their ability to move.

Chopping off the head, while not killing the Parasite, temporarily incapacitated it.

Unless it left its Host and re-parasitized another Host.

“Hurry up!”

Gu Xiong shouted, and the group of Young Men and women upstairs hurriedly ran downstairs, shouting, “You’re from the Public Security Bureau, right? Don’t leave us behind!”

“Follow the team, climb the wall and run!”

Lin Fei didn't waste words; if it weren't for this group of people, they wouldn't have fallen into this crisis.

If it were him alone, he would still save people, but he would consider his own safety, unless his body acted on its own without conscious thought.

Perhaps the original owner had persecution paranoia; the villa was surrounded by a thick wall over two meters high, and the only exit was the main gate.

But now, a group of Infected and the Giant Eel were fighting fiercely at the main gate, completely blocking their way.

They could only escape by climbing over the wall.

“Hurry up! We’ll cover you!”

Old Man Zhang and the other three men ran to the side of the villa.

“Go! The ordinary people go first!”

Gu Xiong shouted, picking up Dr. Du and lifting him to a high enough position for him to climb over the wall.

Fang Chenjin lifted Lin Meng up, and Brother Niu, Lin Fei, and the others also put in their full effort.

“Hey! You people, get us over first! I’m going to complain about you!”

A good-looking woman shrieked sharply.

“Exactly! What kind of Security Officer only helps his own people escape first! When I get out, I’m definitely going to complain about you!”

A group of Young Men and women stomped their feet in frustration, but they were powerless to climb over the two-meter-high wall.

“Hey! You Security Officer, get us out of here right now!”

“Get lost! I’m not a Security Officer!”

Several Young Men and women ran to Lin Fei, pulling him and insisting he get them over immediately, but Lin Fei shook them off.

“You little punks, if you dare to touch me again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Let me tell you! There are no Security Officers here!”

Chen Xu had just carried away one of Brother Niu's fellow villagers. Seeing this, he walked over and pushed a Young Man away with one hand.

“You damn fatty? How dare you push me?! Do you know who my dad is?! I’m telling you, you’re dead! There will be no place for you in the entire Shangqing City!”

The Young Man sat down on the ground, his face still filled with disbelief, then he shouted angrily.

“Who is your dad? An Infected?”

Lin Fei sneered.

“Alright, I’ll take you over first.”

Gu Xiong saw this and walked over to mediate.

“Captain Gu.”

Lin Fei frowned, but time was urgent, so he didn't say much, picking up one of Brother Niu's fellow villagers and sending him over the wall.

Although there were six more Young Men and women, Lin Fei and the others were very fast. In just a few minutes, all the ordinary people were sent over the wall.

At this moment, the Infected were still fighting fiercely with the Giant Eel, and the battle was in a stalemate.

Lin Fei and the others leaped up, easily climbed the wall, and jumped down.

The six Young Men and women cast sinister glances at Lin Fei and Chen Xu.

“Is everyone alright?”

Old Man Zhang and Liu Ye asked.

“None of us were bitten, but I don’t know about these people.”

Lin Fei said quickly.

“What do you mean?!”

The six Young Men and women were furious, especially one of the women, who even tried to grab Lin Fei.

Just then, the distant sewer manhole cover was pushed open, and a swarm of rats, as large as house cats, crawled out, densely packed and numerous, rushing towards the Infected!

Even more terrifying was that the faces of these rats gave a strange, human-like impression, and even their toes were long and slender, like human hands!

“Holy cow, what kind of demonic rats are these? This is too creepy!”

Brother Niu exclaimed.

“This world is truly messed up, all sorts of monsters are coming out! Let’s go!”

Old Man Zhang cursed under his breath.

He had been a soldier for half his life, and he couldn't understand what was happening these days.

The six Young Men and women were even more terrified, their faces pale.

“Go! We’ll check their bodies when we get to a safe place!”

“This way! Brother Niu has contacted his bureau over there!”

Following their previous plan, the group began to run towards Dayang Lake.
