Chapter 20: Helplessness

Although these Kirami were only Larva, ordinary people had almost no chance of survival once they were parasitized.

At this moment, several infected students also targeted Su Ming and his two companions, rushing towards them.

Su Ming noticed it immediately and quickly shouted to Chen Tong and the other.

“Run!”

Chen Tong and Mink quickly followed Su Ming to the right.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t run far when they suddenly saw two female corpses swaying and standing up on the ground not far away. The three of them quickly stopped.

“This way!”

Su Ming immediately turned his head to look around, then led them towards the School courtyard, which was more spacious and relatively easier to dodge in.

As they ran, Su Ming suddenly realized that Mink hadn’t kept up, and he turned to look at him.

“What are you doing?”

Mink was pressing his phone while saying,

“Of course, I’m calling the Guard Squad.”

“Big brother, the entire city’s alarm has sounded. How could they not know? Stop calling, they should be on their way.”

Su Ming reminded him helplessly.

“Okay.”

Mink quickly put away his phone and replied.

At the school gate, three armored transport vehicles rushed over, then came to a sudden halt with a screech.

Clang~

The car door opened, and a burly man, one meter ninety tall, with a robust physique, wearing a grey metal exoskeleton of the first generation called ‘Iron Shell’, and holding a shockwave gun, jumped down first, followed by guards in combat suits getting out of the car one by one.

“Roar~”

At this moment, a human-shaped parasite roared and rushed over.

The leading captain, Daniel, directly raised his shockwave gun and fired a shot!

Bang~

The head of the human-shaped parasite that rushed over was directly blown off half, and then it fell down. Daniel led his team over, passed the fallen parasite, and casually fired another shot at its heart.

Under the night sky, the piercing gunshots were particularly striking in the chaotic scene, and people who were in fear looked over following the sound.

“The guards are here!”

Some students, terrified to the extreme, shouted with joy.

On the other side, Mink heard the gunshots, and his suspended heart slightly relaxed.

“They finally arrived.”

“Yes, let’s move towards the direction of the gunshots!”

Su Ming said calmly.

“Okay!”

Chen Tong and Mink immediately nodded in response.

At this time, the guards who rushed into the school raised their firearms and fired fiercely at the parasitized students and rats!

Bang bang~

The human-shaped parasites that were hit were instantly shredded, falling one by one.

Although Kirami are not very afraid of physical damage, it does not mean that firearms and physical attacks are completely ineffective against them. When they suffer a certain amount of trauma, their life activity will also decrease. And when their life activity drops below fifty percent, they will fall into a state of death dormancy.

In this state, Kirami will slowly die. However, if Kirami receive new cellular energy supplements or merge with their own kind in this state, their activity will increase. When the activity exceeds fifty percent, Kirami will revive and regain mobility.

Therefore, after fighting with Kirami, a specialized team is often needed for cleanup and aftermath.

Qian Feng, the security captain, was first delighted to see the guards arrive, but then his brows furrowed. There were too few people who came, right? However, he didn’t complain, because this might just be the vanguard.

He immediately rushed over to ask Captain Daniel, who was leading the team.

“Officer, you’re finally here. There are too many Chirami Larva in the school. Where should we evacuate to?”

“There’s nowhere to evacuate now. Not only is the school under attack, but everywhere outside is under attack. You first organize people to evacuate to open areas!”

Daniel said with a very solemn expression.

“We are already evacuating to the School field, but officer, we still have many students trapped in the dormitory building.”

“We can’t save them now. I need to ensure the safety of most students.”

“Alas!”

Qian Feng, the security captain, could only helplessly accept reality. Indeed, they couldn’t spare any hands right now.

“Ah~”

Just then, a scream suddenly sounded.

Captain Daniel and Qian Feng were startled and turned to look!

They saw a soldier in combat uniform being pounced on by a parasitic dog with black veins bulging all over its body, hardened skin, and blood-red eyes, and its neck was bitten off.

“Bastard!”

Daniel raised his firearm and fired a shot at the parasitic dog.

The parasitic dog swiftly jumped away, and the moment it landed, it changed direction and rushed towards Daniel.

Qian Feng raised his flamethrower and sprayed at it, but black cellular matter permeated the parasitic dog’s entire body, allowing it to forcefully pass through the flames and quickly maneuver closer.

Fortunately, at this moment, Daniel fired a shot, and the parasitic dog was hit, falling to the ground.

Qian Feng quickly used the flamethrower to burn it.

Soon, this parasitic dog was dealt with, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, screams continued to ring out.

Qian Feng and his companion’s hearts tightened, and they looked up, scanning their surroundings. They saw a desperate scene.

They saw groups of parasitic rats surrounding the shot corpses, with large amounts of black mutated cells permeating their bodies and pouring into the corpses.

Suddenly, those corpses stood up one by one, their bodies further mutated, with black veins bulging all over, emitting a faint black luster like special patterns, and their dark red eyes became even more ferocious.

Immediately following this, these parasites erupted with even swifter speed and greater strength, fiercely rushing towards the security guards, guards, and students.

In an instant, the number of casualties surged, and three guards also died.

At this moment, Su Ming and his two companions ran from a distance, but when they saw the guards engaged in a bitter battle, they were also stunned.

At this moment, Mink asked in confusion.

“Su Ming, why do I feel like it’s not very safe with the guards either?”

“You don’t need to tell me, I already saw it.”

Su Ming also looked helpless. Too few guards had arrived.

“Run, they’re coming for us.”

Chen Tong suddenly shouted with a drastic change in his expression.

Su Ming and Mink were startled and looked over, only to see several parasitic rats and parasitic humans rushing towards them.

“Run back!”

Su Ming and his two companions quickly turned and ran back.

Those parasitic rats and parasitic humans chased them relentlessly from behind.

As Su Ming ran, he felt his body gasping for air severely, his heart almost jumping out of his throat, and his speed continuously slowed down.

He desperately wanted to run faster, but his body began to fail him.

Suddenly, Su Ming fell behind Mink and Chen Tong.

Chen Tong turned his head and glanced, seeing Su Ming fall behind, and then shouted angrily,

“Hurry up and keep up.”

“I want to, but I really can’t run anymore, you two go first!”

Su Ming was also extremely helpless. He was now tired, hungry, and exhausted.

“Shut up! I told you not to exercise normally, and now you’re really going to get us killed!”

Chen Tong then also slowed down, reached out and pulled Su Ming forward.

However, just at this moment, two parasitized students suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

Chen Tong and his two companions immediately stopped. They turned their heads to look around, only to see parasitized students surrounding them one by one.

“It’s over, we’re surrounded.”

Mink said with some despair.
