Chapter 56: Corpse Vine Parasite

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Sizzle sizzle...”

The headless corpses on the ground began to emit a faint sound.

Fang Heng could see tiny vines gradually extending out from the wound on the neck of the corpses.

Not only that, the faint sound even came from the rows of refrigerators on the left and right sides!

Kun Ba’s scalp went numb.

It was the first time he saw such a terrifying scene. He immediately shone his flashlight on the refrigerators on both sides.

He was horrified to discover that tiny long strips of objects had been drilled through the gaps of several morgue cabinets.

What the h.e.l.l was that thing?

A vine?!

“Fang Heng...”

Kun Ba’s breathing became heavy.

“This is troublesome. It’s a vine zombie.”

The scene in front of him overlapped with a special type of zombie that Fang Heng had encountered in his body’s memories.

This was an extremely rare type of zombie.

It belonged to the category of a Tier 2 mutated zombie.

It was called a vine zombie by the players.

In the memories of this body, the vine zombies moved relatively slowly, but their HP was quite high. They would also use the vines to a.s.sist in their attacks.

Once the players got close, the vine zombies would extend their branches from their bodies at an extremely fast speed and entangle the players tightly!

A nightmare of close combat.

The safest way was to rely on long-range methods to kill them!

“Quick! Follow me!”

Fang Heng pulled the bolt of his gun and quickly stepped forward.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Two shots.

The two vine zombies blocking the door were each blasted a big hole in their bodies, and their bodies were sent flying backward.

They weren’t dead.

Tiny vine tentacles immediately extended out from the hole to seal the wound.

They slowly got up from the ground again.

“Quick!”

Before all the vine zombies in the morgue woke up, the two of them quickly ran out of the morgue.

Fang Heng closed the door of the morgue tightly.

However, the power source was no longer working, so the door couldn’t be locked.

Whatever, as long as possible.

Fang Heng took out a few wooden frames from his backpack to block the door of the room.

The two of them immediately returned to the generator room.

...

In the room, Hao Zhou and the others gathered around to study the materials removed from the generator set.

In the zombie apocalypse game, the generator set was of high value, and players could not make it.

In the early stages, because the players’ levels weren’t high enough, Kun Ta could only remove some useful materials from the generator set, and the quality of the materials would be reduced.

Seeing Fang Heng and Kun Ba running back in a hurry, everyone immediately stood up and were on alert.

“What’s wrong?”

“Quick! Find a way to restore the power in the bas.e.m.e.nt!”

Kun Ta was stunned. He subconsciously replied, “No, I can’t do that. My electronic equipment manufacturing level is very low. If I want to restore it, I need to be at least level 10 or above.”

Kun Ba’s heart sank when he heard that.

Hao Zhou asked, “Why the rush? What happened?”

“There are zombies in the bas.e.m.e.nt!”

While saying that, Kun Ba turned his eyes to Fang Heng.

He had only seen the weird zombies that had revived in the bas.e.m.e.nt, and then he was dragged by Fang Heng to escape.

To be honest, he didn’t really know what had happened in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

“The dean of this hospital is doing research on the T-virus in the morgue. It’s a kind of zombie by the name of corpse vine parasite.”

“This kind of zombie is sensitive to temperature. It will enter a state of hibernation in a low temperature environment. Under normal circ.u.mstances, researchers will lock a large number of zombies with the corpse vine parasite in the freezer of the underground morgue to hibernate.”

“After the zombie apocalypse, the backup generator set has always maintained the freezing temperature of the bas.e.m.e.nt, and these zombies have also been in a state of hibernation.”

“After the generator set lost its function, the temperature rose and the corpse vine parasite, which was initially in a dormant state, began to wake up.”

Fang Heng briefly told them what he knew.

Hearing that, everyone immediately became nervous.

Very few people had heard the name of the corpse vine parasite.

“What about the strength of the mutated zombie?”

Fang Heng said in a deep voice, “The corpse vine parasite is known as the ‘vine zombie’ among the players. Its strength is equivalent to a Tier 2 mutated zombie. It has an extremely strong killing ability at close range. If you encounter it, be careful not to get close to it!”

Everyone’s expression changed again.

The higher the level of the mutated zombie, the stronger it was!

The spider zombie was probably the representative species of the strongest batch of Tier 1 mutated zombies.

The corpse vine parasite was more difficult to deal with than the spider zombie!

“Oh no, how could it be the vine zombie...”

Hao Zhou had also heard his comrades mention the vine zombie.

His expression was unusually grave.

“After the power went out, the electronic door of the morgue also failed. These corpse vine parasites will recover soon. They could find us at any time.”

Hao Zhou looked at Sister Li and asked, “Sister Li, how are you recovering?”

“I haven’t fully recovered yet. If I forcefully use the skill now, I can only maintain the barrier for six minutes at most.”

Six minutes was too short!

When they broke into the town, they first lured away most of the zombies, so they could save a lot of time.

However, if they escaped, time would be even tighter.

That was because the sound of the explosion would attract the zombies, and the danger level would be doubled.

There was no time for that in just six minutes.

“We still have time. Maybe the corpse vine parasites will stay in the first underground floor.”

Hao Zhou quickly made a decision after thinking for a short while.

“The corpse vine parasites are slow. Even if they catch up with us, we can just give up the mission and leave.”

“Without the explosion to attract the nearby zombies, the pressure we’ll face when we escape will be much less.”

Hearing that, the team thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Although the mission reward was good, it had to be on the premise of saving their lives.

Everyone only had three chances to die and be reborn. No one was willing to waste one.

After a simple discussion, everyone began to prepare for the next battle.

Fang Heng continued to open the experiment notebook that he had just obtained from the research room.

[5.2]

1. The parasitic efficiency of the corpse vine parasite was much faster than we had imagined. In order to increase the efficiency, we created a large number of corpse vine parasites. Hiding them in the freezer is a good choice.

2. The experiment had not been carried out yet, but the company wanted us to immediately prepare for the next step of the experiment, trying to integrate with living humans.

3. Well, I needed some healthy living humans for the experiment, the dean will help us think of a way.

[5.10]

1. Out of the 27 living humans, only one experiment was successful, his name was Alex. After being infected by the parasite, Alex showed great instability. He was violent and bloodthirsty. He would attack all kinds of creatures.

2. We wanted to find more living humans to experiment on. However, this town was really not big. The accidental disappearances in the town these few days had attracted a small amount of attention.. It was necessary to stop for a while.
