Chapter 19 Chirami

“Don’t go up there! That guy is possessed by a Kirami. Fists are useless. If you get bitten and injected with mutated cells, you’re done for.”

Su Ming warned Chen Tong.

“You two stop arguing! That guy seems to be staring at us.”

Mink, terrified, said to Su Ming and Chen Tong.

Su Ming and Chen Tong immediately looked warily at the possessed Zhou Kang. His dark red eyes were fixed on them, then his mouth split open, and drops of black blood seeped out.

Immediately after, Zhou Kang charged towards the three of them.

Just then, a rough voice came from behind them.

“Get out of the way!”

Su Ming and the other two instinctively scattered.

At that moment, they saw the burly dorm supervisor auntie, holding a cleaver, charging towards Zhou Kang.

“Don’t go, Auntie Li!”

Su Ming immediately warned.

Auntie Li completely ignored Su Ming, and with a powerful close-range chop, she struck Zhou Kang’s head. Half of the cleaver sank in. A normal person would surely have died from that.

Unfortunately, Zhou Kang did not fall. Instead, he grabbed Auntie Li’s neck with both hands.

“Ugh~ Help, help!”

Auntie Li’s entire face turned crimson.

Seeing this, Su Ming and the other two were about to risk rushing up to save her.

At this moment, Zhou Kang opened his mouth and pressed it against Auntie Li’s. Then, disgusting black cellular matter surged out of Zhou Kang’s mouth and drilled into Auntie Li’s mouth.

Su Ming and the other two stopped immediately after seeing this.

Auntie Li, who had been struggling desperately, suddenly stopped. At the same time, her eyes began to turn dark red, and her entire skin turned black and bulged.

The student who had been bitten on the ground also staggered to his feet.

The three infected individuals, including Zhou Kang, simultaneously looked at Su Ming and his two companions, who instinctively retreated.

At this time, screams continued to echo within the dormitory building, and the outer area was in chaos. Immediately after, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire Thirteenth District.

“Su Ming, I remember these things are afraid of fire. Does anyone have a lighter on them?”

Mink asked nervously.

“What good is a lighter? We need to find a flamethrower. Now is not the time for these things. Run!”

Su Ming remembered that the school had flamethrowers prepared because invasions by creatures like Kirami were not uncommon. So, he dragged Mink and Chen Tong and ran backward.

The three possessed individuals, including Zhou Kang, chased after them madly.

Su Ming looked back, using every ounce of his strength, unleashing unprecedented potential in his body, and running for his life.

Thirteenth District · Administrative Office Building.

In a clean and spacious office, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and sharp eyes, dressed in a white shirt, black suit, and red bow tie, sat at his desk, reviewing complex documents.

More than a dozen administrative officials stood respectfully before him, waiting silently.

At that moment, he heard the alarm outside the window and immediately put down his pen.

Thump thump ~

Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, the slightly ajar door was pushed open, and a burly man, full of muscles, dressed in a black combat suit, rushed in.

“District Chief Xiao, something has happened!”

“Speak, Ye Wei.”

“The Thirteenth District has experienced a Chirami Larva invasion.”

Ye Wei reported, panting.

“It’s just larvae. According to emergency handling rules, just deal with them. Is it necessary to rush over in such a hurry?”

Xiao Lie looked at Ye Wei calmly and collectedly.

After hearing Xiao Lie’s words, Ye Wei’s face showed a hint of hesitation, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and reported.

“Although this outbreak is of Chirami Larva, the quantity is enormous.”

“What are you doing? Why was such a large number of Kirami invading only discovered now?”

Xiao Lie’s composed face showed a hint of anger after hearing Ye Wei’s words.

“The source of this outbreak is from the Yuanda Waste Treatment Plant in the Lower City District. There, garbage is piled up like mountains, providing cover for the Kirami.”

Ye Wei immediately explained.

“What the hell is the garbage dump doing? They didn’t even notice anything unusual and report it immediately. This is a serious dereliction of duty!”

Many officials in the office angrily accused.

In fact, due to fear of the Mechanical Clan’s infiltration, the entire Thirteenth District did not install too many surveillance devices, so there were many blind spots.

Moreover, since they could not rely on intelligent machines, patrolling and security could only be done by human power.

Since human power is used, omissions are inevitable, and in the past, they were always patched up, but this time the omission was unusually large.

“Enough. Now is not the time to assign blame. First, mobilize troops to resolve this incident. We’ll discuss the rest later.”

Xiao Lie coldly interrupted their accusations.

“Yes.”

Everyone hurriedly responded.

Mient Intermediate Academy.

Su Ming and the other two rushed out of the dormitory building, panting and disheveled.

“Finally got out. We’re saved!”

Mink said, gasping for breath.

“That’s not necessarily true.”

Su Ming sighed, saying with a massive headache.

Mink was stunned for a moment, then looked up and around, only to find that everything outside was in chaos.

Everywhere, there were people infected and possessed by Kirami, frantically chasing after the uninfected students.

“Help!”

“Don’t be afraid!”

At this moment, security guards, each holding a portable flamethrower, arrived and sprayed fire at the infected people.

“Ah~”

The infected people immediately burst into raging flames, emitting painful howls.

However, there were simply too many infected people, and the number of security guards was very limited; they simply couldn’t control the situation.

Looking down from the sky at this time, one could see possessed rats scurrying out of various sewers and blind spots within the campus.

Their crimson eyes fixed on the students running around frantically and the security guards holding flamethrowers, scurrying past at extreme speed.

Qian Feng, the security team leader, who was directing his subordinates, immediately noticed the attacking rats. He immediately turned his flamethrower and swept it across the attacking rats.

“Everyone, watch out for the infected rat swarm!”

Many security guards were startled upon hearing this and quickly raised their flamethrowers, turning to spray flames at the rats attacking from all directions.

Sizzle ~

As the scorching flames swept past, the attacking rats burst into flames, emitting waves of foul odor.

However, the sheer number of attacking rats was overwhelming. Moreover, these parasitic rats were very inconspicuous under the cover of night, and their movement speed was even faster than that of humanoid parasites.

Soon, a security guard was caught off guard, and a possessed rat scurried onto him. He immediately screamed in terror.

“Help!”

“Old Sun, quickly shake it off!”

Qian Feng, the security team leader, turned his head and immediately shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The rat directly opened its mouth and bit Old Sun’s arm, and black cells seeped from its mouth, invading his body through the wound.

“Ah~”

Old Sun immediately let out a painful scream.

“Damn it!”

Seeing this, Qian Feng could only harden his heart, raise his flamethrower, and spray it at his former comrade.
