Chapter 46: Chapter 37 Sticky Task Seven

Chapter 46 -37 Sticky Task Seven

“Hiss~” That thing made a sound similar to the friction of hard objects, perhaps because Old Zhao’s “compression cannon” had been so loud, it was clearly frightened,

Captain Li knew that what he was seeing was the “mistress” of the room, but to be honest, her current appearance was so far from that of a “woman” that she didn’t even qualify as “human.”

Her face was still somewhat intact, which was the only reason Captain Li could vaguely recognize her, but the skin below her neck had completely shriveled and rotted away, pus oozing around the sores like that of a starved peasant, left to let their body ferment, disgustingly enough. Worse was her belly, stretched to an extreme size beyond limits, the skin so thin it looked like a layer of flesh film, lumpy from the densely packed egg sacs inside, like a spider’s overstuffed abdomen, inexplicably holding together without bursting.

At this moment, the creature was struggling to crawl towards the corner of the wall. Its belly was so large that its feet couldn’t reach the ground, so it could only use its hands to push itself forward.

Rat held a pistol in each hand as he followed down the stairs, with Chen Xiao also poking his head around to look inside.

“What’s up? You see a rock?” Rat asked in a very low voice, followed by a glimpse of what the light shone upon.

And Chen Xiao naturally saw that bizarre thing too, so he was stunned for a second.

“What is this? An inverted humanoid broccoli?” In times like these, Chen Xiao still didn’t forget to make a sarcastic comment, and to be fair, his analogy was quite vivid.

…

…

Just then, a very faint cracking sound occurred, like that of a bubble being pricked. While the others were still overwhelmed by the sight before them and had yet to recover, Chen Xiao heard that noise and his expression turned grave.

“Fuck… my luck can’t be this bad!” he thought to himself.

Whether it was because he was too ugly or made too many sarcastic comments, it felt as though some force in the dark was deliberately punishing him: “Yeah, that’s right, your luck is just that bad!”

Following the first subtle crack, there came a second, and then a mass of such sounds converged together, accompanied by a strange “gurgle gurgle” noise.

The others couldn’t possibly fail to hear it this time, and simultaneously, their eyes widened in shock as they watched the creature in the corner start to convulse wildly, flailing its arms as if in extreme pain, clawing frantically at its belly. It opened its mouth wide as if to scream, but thick fluids oozed out instead, preventing any sound from escaping.

The sight was truly hair-raising, but even more terrifying was her belly, which swelled at a visible rate with the “gurgle gurgle” noises, eventually stretching like a balloon, revealing countless “fat maggots” moving rapidly inside.

Rat, witnessing this scene, was the first to lose it. His expression was one of resigned disgust, mixed with helplessness, regret, and disbelief, feeling that his life had darkened from that moment on.

“What now!” he complained helplessly, his tone suggesting: “Alright, alright, you win, keep being disgusting. I give up.”

As if answering his question, Chen Xiao took over the conversation, “It must be because of the loud noise from Old Zhao earlier, it’s starting to hatch.”

Rat spat out his contempt: “Hatching, what the hell does that even mean? Did it get frightened into having a miscarriage or something??”

Chen Xiao nodded, affirming he was right: “We need to leave, her belly is about to burst!”

Captain Li hesitated for a moment; he clearly wanted to rush in to find the “rock”!

Rat’s expression was almost hysterical now, on the verge of breaking down, he said with a grimace: “Hey~ what do you mean by ‘about to burst’? Is she actually going to explode or what?”

…

…

The situation below tells us not to jinx things by speaking carelessly.

No sooner had his words ended—

“Boom,” a loud crash.

The skin of the “landlady” in the corner could no longer contain the number of “huge meaty worms” inside her body, and it burst open. The worms surged out like a tide, crazily wriggling toward the crowd as if they had seen food.

“Run!” Chen Xiao shouted without a second thought.

Team leader Li also helplessly clenched his teeth hard, “Retreat!”

Then he immediately turned to leave the basement.

At that moment, a figure stealthily emerged from behind the bookshelf in the basement, moving with incredible speed, and fiercely lunged at Team leader Li who had just turned around.

Because the scene in front of him was a bit terrifying, and the lighting limited, Team leader Li was distracted and did not react in time, getting hit by “the rock.”

Immediately after, there was a “wah~~” sound, and a lump of sticky mucus covered Team leader Li’s legs.

Within those few seconds, the dense mass of huge meaty worms had already surged over, appearing to cover the sky and earth. “The rock” opened its mouth again, and it seemed that a second “big glob of spit” was about to be ejected. The situation was extremely critical!

Old Zhao, although silent, was still very decisive. He raised his gun and started shooting at the “sea of worms.” Although the bullets were of little use against such a number of worms, fortunately, they were afraid of the noise. Thus, as he opened fire, those worms twisted in fear, significantly slowing down.

Rat, though extremely disgusted, was not an ordinary person from the Foundation’s field team, so his actions were without any hesitation. Shooting with both guns, he pulled the triggers at an extremely fast and rhythmic pace. A clip of bullets was emptied in a flash. Without a second thought, he discarded them, then quickly pulled out another two guns, and the gunfire resumed, giving the feeling of using handguns as submachine guns.

And Chen Xiao, although not as capable in combat, made up for it with his carefree attitude. While Team leader Li hesitated to shoot at “the rock,” Chen Xiao took a direct shot at its shoulder. The rock’s clothes were bulletproof, and its skin, thickened by the serum, meant the bullet hardly harmed it. However, the tremendous impact still knocked it to the ground. Chen Xiao took the opportunity to pull out his spring knife and, with a leap and unerring accuracy, stabbed it into the gap by its collarbone.

Because of its mutated skin, the knife didn’t penetrate deep, but it was lodged in the joint of its right shoulder, making it awkward for it to “get up.” The surrounding gunfire also frightened “the rock,” forcing it to yell out strangely and retreat back into the shadows.

At this moment, Chen Xiao had no intention of continuing to deal with “the rock.” Kidding, he’d never do such “heroic deeds” as throwing himself into danger to save others. If he couldn’t handle the swarm of worms alone and if leaving straight away would likely get everyone killed, he probably wouldn’t even bother saving Team leader Li.

As always, Chen Xiao was just crazy, not stupid, so he still put a lot of effort into helping Team leader Li break free from the mucus.

“Move, head to the second floor!” Once Team leader Li crawled out, Chen Xiao yelled to the two facing the sea of worms.

Although they didn’t know what good going to the second floor would do, Rat and Old Zhao synchronized perfectly, maintaining constant gunfire while backing out of the basement.
