Chapter 647 Come to the Rescue
Chapter 647 Come to the Rescue
The man was filled with astonishment.
For a moment, I was extremely confused.
He seemed to have never expected that the handsome young man in front of him was actually the new leader of their Ghost Pirates.
No.
Their leader is not dead yet.
Why did the Ghost Pirates hastily elect a new leader?
Could it be that the deputy leader Chi Hu had the intention of seizing power, so he collaborated with outsiders to remove their leader from his position?
But if that's the case...how did I get this permission card?
As far as he knows.
It seems that only the leader can burn the permission card.
The permission card shown to him seemed to be real.
He had handled documents signed by the chief several times, so he was familiar with the chief's handwriting. So he could tell at a glance that the signature on the authority card was indeed written by the chief.
Could it be.
Is this the leader's backup plan?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through the man's mind. He subconsciously looked up, and after meeting Lu Chihuan's slightly cold eyes, he swallowed unconsciously.
Young.
Why is his aura so strong? He actually has some similarities with the leader.
finally.
He chose to believe Lu Chihuan.
However, when he mentioned Lu Minghe's whereabouts, his voice sounded a little solemn, "The leader... must have been led to the depths of the Zerg's nest by these parasites."
"In the beginning."
"Everything went smoothly after we entered the wormhole. For some reason, it was very quiet inside the wormhole. We did not encounter any other Zergs along the way. The leader felt something was wrong at the time, so he sent a few people to investigate the situation."
"That's when we discovered—"
"The hive is almost half empty."
"At that time, the leader suspected that the Zerg used a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Most of the Zerg may have entered the territory of our Ghost Pirates through other exits. The leader was worried that the deputy leader might not be able to defeat those Zerg, so he immediately decided to return."
"We had already entered the cave and were not too far from the insect nest."
"Although some of my subordinates feel it's a pity, the base is the foundation of our Ghost Pirates, and no one is willing to give it up. Therefore, everyone still obeys the leader and starts to turn back."
The man coughed a few times.
then.
When they mentioned their experiences after entering the wormhole, they seemed to recall something, and there was a hint of resentment and fear in their eyes.
"It's just that we encountered the parasitic Zerg on our way back."
"After we kill them, thick green mucus will flow out of their bodies, and that mucus will identify us as parasitic targets."
“That’s why it’s particularly difficult.”
"They seem to have a certain level of intelligence. After they were at a disadvantage in the battle with the leader, they used the tentacles transformed from mucus to smash the rock layers on the ground. The leader and his elite subordinates basically fell into the underground river."
"After we finally climbed out of the underground river, we lost our way in the cave. Our positioning equipment also had problems and could no longer transmit signals."
"What's even more terrifying is——"
"When we were trying to find the exit of the cave, strange things happened frequently in the team."
Speaking of it.
The man swallowed hard. "First, some people had hallucinations and heard strange noises in the middle of the night. Then, there seemed to be something wrong with the food and water. Some of the pirates experienced dizziness, nausea, and vomiting..."
"The atmosphere in the team was very tense at the time, and it was the leader who calmed everyone down."
“But the weird things still haven’t stopped.”
Lu Chihuan originally just pursed his lips and listened to the man speak.
However, when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he rubbed his arms subconsciously.
But he also knows.
This world doesn't seem to have things like ghosts, so all the strange and bizarre things that happened in Lu Minghe's team... must have been deliberately created by someone.
soon.
Lu Chihuan figured out the key point here. He hugged his arms and said firmly:
"Someone must have been causing trouble on purpose."
"Is there anyone in your team who has been infected by the slime?"
"After parasitizing humans, the other party's mind has grown to a certain extent, so it deliberately uses this method to make your team fall apart, and then defeat you one by one in private..."
The man was stunned at first.
Then he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
He raised his hand and gave Lu Chihuan a thumbs up, "As expected of our new leader, you have a sharp mind."
"If I had thought of this at the time, I wouldn't have been tricked by the other party and almost died at the hands of those parasitic slimes..."
then.
Strange things still happen frequently.
The other people in the team were in a state of confusion and basically wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.
Although the leader noticed something, in order to prevent the team from rioting, he took the initiative to take the responsibility of investigating the nearby area.
And the leader is not here later.
The space pirate who was parasitized by the mucus became bolder. After luring the man into an empty corner, he let the mucus lying in ambush there attack him directly.
Trying to parasite him.
"Anyway."
"The leader and the others should not be here now. Before I was swallowed by the slime, I vaguely heard the conversation between the parasites."
"It seems that they intend to lure the leader and the rest of the team into the depths of the hive, and let the remaining companions directly parasitize them. If you chase them now..."
"We should be able to catch up."
These parasitic slimes basically gain the thinking ability and memory of the host every time they parasitize, so the more they know, the less satisfied they become.
On this basis, it wants to plunder the human body and become a more advanced life form.
Therefore.
So they did not simply and brutally kill the pirates of the Ghost Pirates.
Instead, it intimidates the opponent repeatedly to make him mentally weakened, and then it parasitizes silently after the prey has no strength to resist.
This way.
The resistance encountered can be said to be minimal.
The man actually understood this truth only later.
Although he closed his mouth and nose in time when he was swallowed by the mucus, which bought him some time and allowed Lu Chihuan and the others to rescue him, he was now weak all over due to his desperate struggle.
There is no way to catch up now.
Therefore, he said to Lu Chihuan and Eaton with some sincerity, "The safety of the leaders' lives is in your hands."
Lu Chihuan nodded.
He didn't say much.
After asking Lu Minghe and the others about the direction they were originally in and the direction they might be heading, he went straight into Eaton's cockpit and drove the mecha towards that place.
Eaton is fast.
Plus they found the right direction.
So Lu Chihuan and his companions followed the traces on the ground for less than ten minutes before they heard a very obvious sound of fighting.
Vaguely.
There are even the cries of star pirates.
"Here it is!"
.
And the other side.
Lu Minghe endured the discomfort in his body, raised the particle gun in his hand and fired several shots at several people in the team without hesitation.
His face was cold and majestic.
For a moment, the chaos and disputes that broke out in the team were stopped.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, as if they couldn't breathe. After a moment, they uttered a few trembling words, "Chief, Chief, what are you doing..."
Lu Minghe pulled the corner of his lip slightly.
He was still wearing the black mask. He glanced at the bodies on the ground and said with a chill in his voice, "Take a closer look. Are they still your comrades and companions who you have been with day and night?"
"Among our team..."
“Something else got mixed in.”
After hearing Lu Chihuan's reminder, the remaining people in the team looked down at the corpses on the ground in confusion.
After seeing the thick green mucus oozing out of the wound on the corpse, their faces turned pale and blue, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying. "It's mucus!"
"They're all parasitized!"
When they thought that their companions, who shared the same residence and meals with them, had already been completely devoured by the mucus, leaving only an empty shell, they felt a chill down their spines, and even a bit horrified.
do not know either……
Are there any other people in the team who have been parasitized? Will they take action again?
All of a sudden.
Everyone scattered like frightened birds, looking at each other with a hint of vigilance.
"calm!"
Lu Minghe spoke again.
He originally did not intend to kill the space pirates who were parasitized by mucus in public, after all, this would cause chaos in the team.
The best way is to gather them in a deserted corner.
Then resolve it privately.
But he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be someone in the team quietly guiding them towards a certain direction in the cave.
And his intuition told him.
If they go deeper into that place, they might face a catastrophic disaster.
not only that.
The parasites in the team even wantonly provoked the relationships among the other pirates, deliberately causing chaos and dissatisfaction, trying to break up their originally united team.
This was something Lu Minghe could not tolerate.
He knew it.
Once the team falls apart, the others will probably soon have their self-consciousness devoured by the slime that has been prepared in advance, and then become a body that they parasitize, a puppet.
So it would be better to just burst the abscess directly so that everyone can be mentally prepared.
After the slimes whose plans were destroyed by Lu Minghe abandoned their bodies that were no longer usable, they stretched out their thread-like tentacles as if enraged, trying to tie up the human in front of them.
And devour.
They could see that this human had the highest IQ among the team.
Lu Minghe frowned uncomfortably.
After dodging the slime-like tentacles that were attacking him with great agility, he raised his particle gun and began to aim, firing more than a dozen shots at the opponent's body.
It’s a pity that the damage caused by the particle gun is limited.
It doesn't take a moment.
The wounds that Lu Minghe created on the slime's body quickly healed.
"Tsk."
He snorted.
Now, while dodging the attack of the slime and raising his hand to fight back a few shots, he lowered his eyelids and began to think about what method he should use to successfully kill the slime.
Because they did not anticipate the existence of this parasitic slime when they first entered the wormhole, and they wasted too much firepower in the initial fight with the slime, so that now the firepower suppression seems a bit insufficient.
"leader!"
"We're here to help you!"
Seeing Lu Minghe being besieged by slime, the remaining pirates naturally would not stand idly by. They quickly picked up their weapons and joined the battle.
The scene was in chaos for a moment.
Lu Minghe had previously only dealt with a few parasites that he suspected.
But he was not sure if there were any fish that had escaped the net in the team, so when he was fighting with the slime, he still reminded his men in a cold voice, "Be careful of other parasites!"
The star pirate standing not far from Lu Minghe cut off the filamentous tentacles of the slime with a knife, and replied in agreement:
"Don't worry, Chief..."
This sentence has not yet been finished.
He saw a young man who had somehow gotten up behind Lu Minghe.
The other person looked dazed.
His eyes were dull.
However, at this moment, he raised the light blade in his hand without hesitation, even mechanically, and stabbed it towards Lu Minghe's heart.
For an instant.
The star pirate's face changed drastically.
At this time, he stretched out his hand in vain, then raised his voice to remind, "Chief, behind you——"
Although Lu Minghe noticed something.
But the slime probably had some intelligence, so it now cooperated with the young man who was parasitized, launching attacks from the front and back at the same time, leaving Lu Minghe with almost no ability to resist.
Lu Minghe only has two hands.
Therefore, if you fight back with all your strength, you will inevitably not be able to avoid the other attack.
The other pirates were too far away from him.
It's too late to do anything at this time.
At this moment he frowned unconsciously. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to face the attack of the mucus head-on, and then take the full force of the parasite.
after all.
The attack power of the mucus is much stronger than that of the parasite.
Once contaminated.
There is even a risk of being parasitized.
However, the parasite is limited by its own strength. Even if it is injured, it is estimated that it will not cause any serious damage. With simple treatment with a therapeutic device, it should be able to continue to move and continue to fight.
Lu Minghe was already prepared to be hurt, but the next moment——
A light blade as thin as a cicada's wing and emitting a cold glow was thrown from the other end of the cave. It brushed against Lu Minghe's hair and instantly nailed the parasite's head to the cave.
The tail end even trembled continuously.
"Who?"
Lu Minghe fired a few more shots at the slime, and when he looked up, he saw a young man in black combat uniform landing lightly from the shoulder of a mecha with a gas mask on his face.
Only a pair of clear eyes were revealed.
Those eyes...
It made him feel extremely familiar.
