Chapter 188: The Great Parasite

“That guy said this was to prevent the invasion of Impersonators. So he was a big liar!” KIKI immediately reacted. The fact that these two parasites were acting this way in front of this huge lantern flower meant there must be some secret.

Lin Xian made a decisive decision and said directly to KIKI, “Little girl, quick, try to see if you can pull this flower up!”

“Okay!”

Without another word, KIKI directly raised her hand and grabbed forward. An invisible psionic force extended out and wrapped around the lantern flower. But who knew that under her evolved psionic ability, the lantern flower only trembled, causing the storage tanks and the deep pool of chemicals below to start vibrating violently. The water rippled and hummed.

Gurgle~

At this moment, bubbles began to rise from the black deep pool of chemicals. Then, the bubbles gradually increased, and it began to boil.

Lin Xian looked at KIKI and found that this little girl’s face was almost red from the strain. The storage tanks below were also slightly deformed by the invisible force.

“Stop pulling!”

He immediately stopped KIKI. 70% tert-butyl hydroperoxide was a flammable and explosive chemical. Vibration and friction would cause problems. If this girl accidentally crushed the storage tank, he would be turned to ashes even if he built ten layers of steel doors.

KIKI’s face was covered in fine sweat. Hearing Lin Xian’s words, she could only stop her actions and said, “The root system of this flower is very developed. It’s not just what we see. I can’t pull it at all.”

As they spoke, the boiling bubbles in the deep pool of chemicals began to increase. At this moment, in their line of sight, a white, humanoid object slowly floated up from the bottom of the pool.

The two of them immediately changed their expressions, because that thing was actually a flesh and bone that had been skinned!

The flesh and bone was pale from being soaked in the pool. The muscles and internal organs were exposed, looking extremely terrifying.

Then, an even more terrifying scene appeared. More and more pale and bloated flesh and bone continued to float up in the deep pool of chemicals. Ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, three hundred…

Densely packed, from a distance, it looked like a pot of boiling and expanding porridge, which made people’s hair stand on end.

Lin Xian and KIKI looked at this scene, and they both felt unwell.

“This… how can there be so many dead people in a chemical plant?” KIKI’s face was pale at this moment. She forced down the urge to vomit and said.

Lin Xian could imagine how terrifying the smell here was. If it weren’t for the gas masks they were wearing, they would have probably fainted from the smell.

“Let’s go.”

Without another word, Lin Xian directly prepared to retreat.

At this point, he had already seen that the reason why the small town could block the night Aberrations was most likely because of this lantern flower. Even a psionic Esper like KIKI, who could move objects from a distance, couldn’t handle it. In such a dangerous environment, it was normal that others couldn’t handle it either.

At this moment, Lin Xian still thought that this lantern flower was a Blood Calamity Plant. He was even considering how to discuss with Director Ding how to get this flower away.

But in the next moment, he completely dispelled this idea.

Because at this moment, in the deep pool of chemicals, hundreds of flesh and bone suddenly rose up and emerged from the water, and then they continued to slide to both sides. Something seemed to be emerging from below.

Rumble~

Vibrations, the sound of rushing water, and the sound of corpses falling into the water continued to sound. Lin Xian and KIKI only took one look and realized that something was wrong. They had already started running outside.

“Shu Qin, Da Lou, prepare to retreat!”

Lin Xian immediately shouted on the communicator.

Rumble, rumble, rumble~

Countless flesh and bone fell into the pool. Then, a black tentacle dozens of meters long, like a giant python, rose from the deep pool. At the front of the tentacle, there were several humanoid tentacles, and in the middle was a mouth full of sharp teeth.

“This lantern flower… is a living thing!!”

KIKI flew in the air. Seeing this scene, she immediately exclaimed and flew towards the gate at high speed.

But the tentacle was too long, and it seemed to have eyes. It contracted and coiled in the air, and then it shot directly towards Lin Xian!

“Lin Xian!”

KIKI wanted to use her Esper ability to restrain the huge tentacle at this moment, but as soon as she made a move, she found that she couldn’t suppress it at all. Her hand was empty, and the huge tentacle was already heading towards Lin Xian.

Swish!

In an instant, Lin Xian directly used a flashback to the side, turning into a silver afterimage, and narrowly avoided the tentacle.

Boom!

The tentacle’s momentum did not decrease. It directly pierced through the warehouse gate in front of Lin Xian, blocking the way.

“Lin Xian, over there!” KIKI flew in the air and immediately pointed Lin Xian to another emergency exit.

“Be careful!”

But at this moment, Lin Xian’s face was full of horror, and he shouted back at her.

Because at this moment, behind KIKI, a second tentacle appeared!

Voom!

A dull sound of something breaking the air sounded in this huge chemical workshop. Before KIKI could react, she was swallowed by the tentacle’s mouth. Fortunately, she used her psionic power to wrap her whole body at the critical moment, and she was pushed away like a balloon.

“Little girl, you go from above!”

Lin Xian was now frantically running towards the safety door, while KIKI’s retreat was blocked by the second tentacle.

KIKI, who was sent flying, stabilized herself in the air. Her face was pale at this moment. Seeing the direction Lin Xian was pointing, she looked up and found a transom window above. She immediately nodded to him. “Okay!”

Clang, clang, clang!!!

At this moment, the lantern flower began to emit a bright light. The countless white flesh and bone in the deep pool of chemicals seemed to suddenly come to life. Their muscles twitched, and then they began to frantically climb up the wall and pounce towards Lin Xian.

Densely packed, like white, faceless zombies, they were dripping with water. Some were already rotten and bloated, and the muscles on their bodies had begun to dissolve.

“Damn it!”

Lin Xian waved his hand back. Countless metal frames extended and were created. In an instant, an irregular frame wall was created behind him, blocking the zombies of flesh and bone.

But the white flesh and bone didn’t care. They rushed up directly, their bodies torn apart by the metal frame. Countless parasites burst out from their muscle tissue and then quickly crawled towards Lin Xian!

Lin Xian ran quickly. The huge black tentacle at the gate directly destroyed the iron gate and the wall and swept over.

Clang, clang!

Seeing that the safety door was about to be blocked, Lin Xian stomped his foot and used flashback again.

Swish!

A silver light flew out for only a few meters before his body was hit by the black tentacle in mid-air and sent flying.

Lin Xian only felt the world spinning in an instant, and his whole body was about to fall apart. He rolled on the ground a few times and almost passed out.

Rumble~

His ears were ringing, and he couldn’t hear anything clearly. In a daze, Lin Xian saw the already dim sky and the inverted, towering white cooling tower. His internal organs were trembling and in pain. He wanted to struggle to get up. In his line of sight, two giant black tentacles were constantly stirring and flying.

Beep, beep~ Beep, beep.

The sound of his watch’s alarm seemed to come from far and near, gradually becoming clearer in Lin Xian’s mind.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, a huge force dragged him backward. Lin Xian looked up and saw that it was Shu Qin.

“Captain Lin!!”

She shouted, her Remington M96 frantically firing at the black tentacle.

Da Lou’s Roarer K23 electric rotary machine gun was also pouring out a frantic stream of fire at this moment, covering his escape.

Lin Xian’s consciousness gradually recovered. He scanned his surroundings and was finally relieved to see that KIKI had also escaped from inside.

“Retreat quickly!”

Lin Xian immediately got up and gave the order to retreat.

Shu Qin fought while retreating, agilely getting into the off-road vehicle. Da Lou, who was providing continuous fire, finished a round of ammunition and also got into the car.

Lin Xian got on the motorcycle, let KIKI sit on the back seat, and then stepped on the accelerator. The rear wheel of the motorcycle spun wildly, creating a cloud of white smoke, and frantically rushed out of the chemical plant.
