Chapter 1 Brood
Late at night, the dilapidated old town was plunged into deathly silence.
Ever since the alien species arrived half a year ago, Qingjiang City has been classified as a high-risk area, and there is no one to be seen on the streets after dark.
Feng Ling carried the discounted merchandise from the convenience store before closing time, walked briskly through the streets, and returned to the old tube-shaped building.
The key clicked.
The noise of opening the door seemed to startle something. A faint sound came from the corner of the house, and some sticky, rotten tentacles crawled in the shadows.
Feng Ling turned a deaf ear to it.
I entered the room, turned on the light, and went straight to the refrigerator, putting the instant food packets and fruits I had bought in there in an orderly manner.
At the bottom of the shopping bag, there was a newly bought boning knife.
She unwrapped the boning knife, weighed it in her hand, and then looked at the wooden table against the wall expressionlessly.
There was a monster tied up that looked neither human nor inhuman.
It is said to be human-like because you can vaguely make out its arms and legs.
It is said to be not human-like because there is no proper head to be found. Only twitching limbs are spread out and tied to the table, and the abdomen is swollen to an almost purple-red color, with dozens of tentacles extending from it. Pus, blood and mucus secreted are dripping along the legs of the table, emitting a disgusting smell.
Obviously, this is a dying alien creature.
Feng Ling picked it up by accident last week and immediately took it home to study it.
Ever since alien species invaded the earth, the news every day was either about alien species killing people or being killed. The Internet was filled with all kinds of news about alien species, which made her develop a strong interest in this kind of creature.
After studying it for a few days, she found that the alien was in a very strange state.
It was becoming more rotten every day, yet it showed an overly vigorous vitality, constantly growing new flesh and blood as it rotted, as if it could never die, yet there was no sign of recovery at all.
Perhaps sensing her approach, the monster on the table changed from its original slow crawling to a violent struggle, its rotten tentacles twisting like snakes.
Feng Ling picked up the boning knife and stabbed it directly into the monster's abdomen!
The towering belly sac suddenly collapsed, and the tentacles struggled to fight back, but they were so rotten that Feng Ling easily crushed them with a knife.
Seeing that it was "obedient", Feng Ling put on plastic gloves, picked up the boning knife again, and began the dissection.
Remove the limbs first.
The cortex with the canines is then removed.
Then they cleaned the sticky tentacles, cut open the rotten flesh, and opened the abdominal cavity - no organs were found inside.
She picked and chose in the bloody mass with great interest, and finally found the petal-like fleshy fascia in the chest area. They were layered one on top of another, slowly opening and closing with breathing, and she could vaguely see a bloody eyeball wrapped in the innermost part.
"It is said that alien cards can give people super powers. Could the cards be among them..."
Feng Ling muttered to himself, pointed the knife at his eyeball, and stabbed it down——
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The black one is rotten, the red one is fresh, the blue and purple one is unknown mucus, and all kinds of liquids are mixed and flowing down.
Feng Ling exerted force again.
With a click, the eyeball was completely pierced.
The monster twitched violently, then quickly collapsed and rotted away, without any sign of life.
Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, then saw a card gradually overflowing from the pool of blood and flesh.
Blood red, slightly transparent, and floating quietly in the air as if weightless, an eye is clearly engraved on the card.
She had read many posts discussing the cards online and was a little puzzled: "Didn't everyone say the cards were silver? Why are they this color?"
She reached out to touch it. The bloody card melted instantly, flowing through her fingertips into the pores and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a clear passage of words emerged in Feng Ling's mind:
[You obtained the card "■:#紝匓※鎷". ]
[You are the source of life, you are the mother of the world, you have a strong body and endless power, as long as there is a glimmer of life, it is almost impossible to be killed. ]
I don't know why the card name is displayed in garbled characters.
Feng Ling was just feeling strange when the text suddenly collapsed and was replaced by several lines of huge red words that filled her brain!
【Warning unknown error! 】
【Warning unknown error! 】
【Warning unknown error! 】
The warning made her brain buzz, and the text kept freezing.
"what happened……"
Feng Ling pressed his temple uncomfortably. At this moment, the words in his mind changed again -
【Warning! You are not a player. 】
【Warning! Unknown changes have occurred in the card's genes. 】
In an instant, a sound echoed in my mind and pain came sharply!
Every cell in the body begins to undergo drastic changes!
Feng Ling was caught off guard by her body's reaction. She screamed in pain, immediately clenched her teeth, and forced herself to hold on to the table. In just a dozen seconds, her entire body was drenched in sweat!
Immediately afterwards, my entire body felt as if its muscles and bones were about to break!
She couldn't bear it anymore and fell to her knees, holding on to the floor tightly. Cold sweat kept pouring down her face. She felt dizzy and it hurt so much that even breathing was painful! Even her heartbeat was aching!
Every nerve and every cell in her body was screaming!
I don't know how long it took, but the pain finally disappeared.
Feng Ling looked like he had been fished out of the water.
She opened her eyes and looked at her hands in a daze.
There was no change, nor did he feel that he had any super powers. The room was silent, except for a pool of rotting and dissolving monster, as if nothing had happened.
Feng Ling exhaled slowly and cursed in a low voice: "It hurts so fucking much."
…………
……
In the dark sewer, a girl wearing a skull mask was staggering forward, and suddenly a virtual screen with blue light popped up in front of her.
In the quiet forest, a man dressed as a Taoist priest put down the bamboo stick in his hand and stared at the virtual screen in deep thought.
The music in the City KTV room was still going on, but the guests were strangely silent, staring at their message panels.
At this moment, all the players who invaded the Earth received a message at the same time -
[The hidden Boss nest (juvenile form) has been born, the danger level is unknown, players are requested to find the nest and clear it as soon as possible! ]
